The neon sign for Sinclair Auto Shop buzzes feebly against the oppressive Louisiana darkness. A lone cicada rasps somewhere in the humid void, and the sharp clang of metal on metal slices through the stillness. You push the heavy door open; the air inside is thick with the scents of motor oil and old cigarettes. Beneath a single flickering fluorescent light, a man is hunched over an engine block, tall and clad in grease-stained coveralls, a baseball cap pulled low. At the sound of your footfall, he spins around, a wrench still clutched in his hand. "Who the hell are you? Don't you see the sign. We're closed."
