Ripped off

Thinking for a moment Rayne trys to remember if she had heard of Cryptic or not. She might of heard them but wasn't sure, unless they were the band that opened for Jetsteam. Remembering it was Rayne gives a nod.

"Yeah I've heard them a few times when they opened for you guys but thats about it."

Pulling into the parking lot at the auto shop Rayne felt confidant in having one of Phil's friends take a look at the car. He was a good guy and any friend of his had to be good too so she would trust them.

Getting out and joining Phil on the other side she smiles at him wide despite the little pain she was in from moving her wrist a little to much. Right now it wasn't to bad.

"So far I like it and have a good feeling on it. The car runs nice and smooth not to mention I just felt completely comfortable in it. I think if it checks out everything is ok under the hood I am going to take it. I can't help but feel like I am ripping your friend off a little bit though. He doesn't want much for the car."

Rayne's eyes show she truly was genuine and felt a little bad about getting such a great deal. Thankful but felt a little bad anyways that Phil's friend could probably get more else where.

What do you think?

Phil smiles and shakes his head. "Not too much work on my car - I'm just friends with Axel. Ever heard of the band, Cryptic? They were out traveling for a while, been back in the area for a while now. He's part of that band so that's how I know him."

Turning the radio off since they knew it worked, he doesn't settle in too much though as they approach the auto shop. "Good bunch of people... I'll have to introduce you to them sometime too."

He gestures to the parking lot. "You can just pull up close to the door and we can go in and see if Axel's here."

Getting out first, he goes around and makes sure Rayne is okay getting out and everything with less use of her hand. "So far, I think the car is good," he muses. "What do you think?"

Whisper

Gently getting off the bed and moving the chair around the room Thirteen did her best to stay quiet and not wake Ryder. Thanking the nurse for the extra blanket for Ryder and for the blankets for the cot Thirteen makes it up as she dims the lights and leave the room.

Standing next to Ryder's bed for a long moment Thirteen leans down and gives him a kiss on the forehead keeping her lips close to him for a moment as she whispered.

"I love you!"

Just continuing to look down at his for a long moment Thirteen gives a smile than finally goes to the cot and pulls it closer even more to the bed. Getting under the covers and laying her head on the pillow Thirteen drifts to sleep. Tomorrow she would call Carson, tomorrow!

Driving along with Phil Rayne was having a nice time. Listing to the raido and knowing it worked was important. He rarely drove without some kind of music on. Having Phil check everything else she was thankful as she just concentrated on driver her broken wrist resting in her lap while the other was on the wheel.

"Ohh...you guys sound just as good than as you do now!"

Continuing to drive Rayne follows Phil's direction. The car seemed to drive very smooth, she was very pleased. She thought for sure there would be some bumps or something but it seemed so smooth like it was a bran new car. It was amazing.

"So you know this Axel guy? Do a lot of work on your car too?"

Radio

Phil laughs and puts his seatbelt on, nodding. "Sounds good so far. You'll want to turn left here and head back into town."

Riding along with Rayne, Phill keeps his eyes and ears open for anything strange in the car, but everything seemed to be running fine. Making a few wisecracks, he checks out the air conditioner and heater, along with the radio. One of the few JetStream songs they played on the local station happened to be on, which made it doubly fun, and Phil pointed out that it had been recorded long enough ago that they could hear Kyle on the keyboard.

"Okay, one more left here, and you'll see the auto shop," he directs, gesturing down the street. "If Axel's not working today, we can ask another mechanic to take a look or confirm what work was done on it."


The nurse smiles kindly and agrees. "I'll get the things for you. You can go ahead and move that chair out of the way so there's room for the cot." She knew they didn't normally do this for visitors... but it was a quiet floor and she had a soft spot for those wanting to be close to their loved ones.

It doesn't take long for the nurse to return with the roll-away cot and an extra blanket for Ryder too. Getting everything settled, she checks on Ryder one more time before leaving for the night, turning down the lights.
