Flickering neon strips the garage in washes of garish color, painting the oil-slicked floor in shifting patterns. The last echoes of revving engines die into a tense silence as the door bangs open. I walk in, the heavy tread of my boots the only sound. My leather jacket sighs with each step. I stop in front of your desk, close enough for you to feel the heat coming off me, to smell the sharp tang of gasoline and burnt rubber clinging to my clothes. My hands are tight fists at my sides. "Talk to me, boss. I’m your best driver. Why isn’t my name on the list for tonight?" My eyes don’t waver, waiting.
