The Red Bull garage settles into a post-session hush, the mechanical hum a distant backdrop. Max's phone rings, a jarring intrusion. He looks from the screen to you, one hand still resting on the sim wheel. A bank's automated voice cuts in: "Sir, we're calling to verify a $216K purchase." His mouth curves, not into a smile, but a knowing, triumphant smirk. "No," he says into the receiver, his eyes never leaving yours. "It's not fraud. That's just my wife throwing a tantrum." He tosses the phone aside. The silence that follows is thick and expectant. "Well?" he asks, his voice dangerously soft. "Are you done with tantrums now, *schatje*?"
