Melissa Ran Teddy (3)
Get ready to run!
Ran parked the little Z car in the small garage next to Teddys portable office.
Slowly guiding the car up the ramp while stopping every few inches Ran made sure the bottom wouldn’t scrape on his mechanics autolift and thankfully the wheels lined up perfectly as if the tool was made for it.
He wanted to meditate on what happened except the car seat was making him sore. The only complaint he had about the Z car was how uncomfortable the seats were.
He tried to recline in the driver’s seat because he wanted to sit in the car and think about the last 24 hours, only No matter what he did with the adjustment levers the seat wouldn’t fold back past the first position.
Ran wriggled and pushed and tried everything he could think of to force the seat to recline but the only thing that moved was the grizzly memories of yesterday’s shooting, filling him with the guilt of causing others to be harmed through his own self-centered actions.
The damn car was actually for sale, the shooter was correct, he could of let the smelly psychopath buy the damn thing if his own ego didn’t get in the way.
Everything was normal and then everything went to hell so damn quickly and Ran felt genuinely fortunate that he survived the robbery without getting shot.
This morning while fending off the car prowlers, he could have simply chased them away, but for some reason he assaulted them both with his stupid wrist rocket.
Ran felt like a bigger asshole than either the shooter or the pair of thieves, and what would have been worse if the prowlers were also armed, how stupid does stupid get, he could have been shot either time, twice in the last 24 hours.
A smile creased his face when he remembered how he blasted the masked person who was looking over the fence with his sling shot. He hit that dude in the forehead right between the eyes. Rans smile dropped when He remembered Mary and poor Manuel, they also got shot and Manuel likely is blind in one eye for life, if he lives and nothing more serious happens to him.
Marys brother was a big strong dude, but Ran felt like he caused the accident, and hoped like hell that Manuel was strong enough to survive a gunshot to the face and not succumb to his injury or from an infection. Hopefully the bullet or a fragment didn’t enter his skull and give him brain damage.
Ran winced at the image of Manuel holding his eye, the whole thing was terrible, and that made sitting uncomfortable even more irritating.
Ran didn’t mean to cause anyone any harm, he didn’t like seeing people suffer in any way at all, and his Mom was right about one thing and the last 24 hours proved her 100% spot on correct, the car was if anything a dark chapter, a veritable vector for bad luck.
Ran tried moving the seat forward and backwards and even when pushing his feet againstthe firewall it still wouldn’t tilt, recline or shift backwards.
Ran slid over to the other side of the car and tried the passenger seat, amazingly that seat was in the same un moving condition. How bizarre.
It's not like they were cheap either, they looked like top of the line off white leather high backs, they even had padded lumbar support. Great looking but neither operated.
The weather was changing from a neutral morning to overcast. A slight breeze came in from the Puget Sound blowing the haze up from the south and eastward. The roads were slicked with morning dew and he was sure the changing conditions were irritating the steady stream of drivers who were already hurriedly passing the car lot on their way to work.
It was a Sunday, why do people want to rush to work on a Sunday? Ran imagined that very few servers relished the idea of wiping down a customer counter and handing out coffee to snobbish assholes on a weekend unless they really needed the money.
Again Ran tried to adjust the drivers seat but it remained in the upright position.
Teddy slid open the office window that faced the garage. He was waiting for the right moment to spring something on his little brother.
Before Ran arrived, Mom called Teddy and had a thorough discussion with her eldest son, explaining to him how she seen the next few days working out. Either an agreement was going to be made, or consequences would follow.
Teddy was screwing up his courage to have a discussion that he knew Ran wouldn’t be overly happy with.
Ran! His brother yelled out his portable office window. Hey, could you please come to the office when you get a chance, I’ve got something you might be interested in, or rather there is something we have to discuss.
Sundays at the lot were closed. They were often there by choice but not to talk with customers, Sunday was catch up day so the open sign was turned off and the barricade chain was drawn across the entrance and pad locked to keep cars from driving through.
The inside of the office was low lit by choice, Teddy was sitting in his desk chair and Ran found one of the two customer chairs on the other side of his desk to stretch out in
Well? Asked Teddy,what do you think? He said, pushing a new phone across the table.
I dont want it, answered Ran.
You really need to think about that Brother, it’s not just your dignity on the lone here, it’s also my…it’s actually both of our livelihoods at stake here, its what Mom is asking us to do, what she wants from us in return so please, just take it for a while, give it a week.
You know it goes against the way I live, the way I am.
Listen, you don’t even have to pay for it, just keep it in your pocket.
Ran shook his head and held up his hands, and was about to give another reason why he shouldn’t be forced into doing something that egregious until his older brother exerted himself.
Mom’s name is on the deed for our business.
I know.
So, unless I can magically have my clean record restored, which I can’t or you somehow grow a credit score and you realy don’t have any. You have always refused credit so you don’t even have a score, then our only choice is that we get to grin and bear the responsibility of doing what Mom asks. Dammit Ran! I got you the same kind of top of the line traceless phone that I have. In fact it’s the newer model, and I listed it on my own network, loaded my own AI on It, I sandboxed it so it completely untraceable.
You just happened to have this today?
Ive had it in my desk for weeks, ive been putting her off, been putting off talking to you about it but Mom put her foot down on me today Ran, shes not kidding!
You and she, you both have been working on this behind my back for weeks?
What? No, it’s not like that at all. Mom wants to feel safe and giving you access to her with a cell phone fixes that problem and a few other problems like keeping the lot open.
Okay, Ran relented, I’ll hold the phone but I don’t promise you that I’m going to use it. I will take the phone so Mom will feel better.
Unless Mom or I call, you never need to pick it up! If Mom or I call will you please answer? Nothing will go wrong if you do, I swear!
Don’t say that.
Don’t say what.
Don’t promise me and say that you swear, you know how I Hate it when you tell me that you swear, because every time you do it comes undone.
You got your point, Ran, take the phone, please.
Okay.
Promise me.
Okay.
Say it.
No, no need, I’m not a liar.
You have never told me a lie, I never called you a liar before, have I ever said that too you Ran, that’s not it at all. Look little brother, I know this is hard for you. It’s even harder for me to ask you, you know I hate asking.
Ran shifted in his seat.
Are you okay.
Actually, I’m just fine. My back hurts because the damn seats in the Z won’t recline or move at all, instead of tilting back the seat backs are sticking nearly straight up. So if our talk is over I have to go to the automotive store and purchase a book.
Hold on, you want blueprints? Get ahold of this trick Melissa can do. You need to set up a password, but first check this out. Teddy clicked on Rans new phone. Melissa?
Hello , is that you Teddy?
Can you get blueprint drawings for the car my brother is working on, it’s the car we just got from the Police auction.
You call it the Z car? Melissa answered.
Yes, the seat needs fixed.
Okay, 1970 240 Z. This car is heavily modified so the results I can find may be inaccurate. There are two given options for seats, are they manually operated or electric ?
Manual.
Ran was listening intently, and surprised at the ease at which Melissa performed the request.
Okay, detailed blueprints. To see them, click the open tab or tell me to open them.
Teddy held the phone out to Ran, tell her.
Okay, open the prints.
Instantly the details appeared on the screen.
Swipe sideways to enable key.
What?
She means the arrows to move the page. Teddy did so for Ran.
Use two fingers like this to zoom in or out…wait, you do it.
Ran held the phone up and zoomed in and out.
Is that you, Ran? Melissa asked.
Ran clicked off the phone.
Hey, Ran! What are we getting for lunch today?
I’m not hungry.
Okay, no worries little Brother.
Ran went back to the garage and threw his new phone onto the floorboard of the Z car.
So, heavy modified? How did Melissa know that?
Ran then noted the steering system was not original. Maybe she’s right. Okay little Z , Ran smiled anxiously as he poped the cars hood to get a first look at the engine.
What in the world happened to it? Thought Ran. It’s been changed out!
The original engine was missing, in its place was an engine stamped with the letters RB26DETT. Almost the entire engine was chromed out, tip to tail.
I knew was fast, but I didn’t expect a skyline engine.
Ran grabbed a three button drop cord that was suspended from the garage ceiling and clicked the up button.
The lift slowly elevated the z and stopped at Rans eye level.
Well crafted aftermarket exhaust.. A fuel cell in place of the tank…shoots, is that a NOS bottle? Where is the switch?
Expensive stuff, maybe that’s why the mileage was so small He wondered, Most Z cars of this age were already decaying in a junk yard or smashed into a cube and sent to a Chinese based metal producer to be made into razer blades and soup cans. This car was different, it felt special, this car was really something fantastic!
Ran grabbed up an air lead and using his impact wrench unbolted the seat keepers.
A moment later Ran was pulling the off white leather drivers seat out, and placed it on the Shop table.
He tried several times to get the seat to operate on the table but it was still stuck. He flipped the seat on its side so he could work on it.
Ran noticed right away that the clamshell that held the back of the seat together had aftermarket screws attached to it and a glue line. The screws he started slowly removing with a screwdriver.
Two screws remained, those were stuck, the retainer clip was turning with the screw, Ran needed a third hand to get the last two screws out.
Ran picked up the phone and clicked it on.
Hello Ran, Melissa said.
Could you get Teddy to come to the garage?
A few seconds later Teddy came through the door bering a huge smile, you did it! You actually used the phone!
No, I made your AI use the phone for me! Ran knew it was the same thing but it somehow felt better saying it that way.
A moment later Teddy set himself up to help, armed with a set of needle nose grips he applied tension to the clips.
It took a lot of patience and about 5 minutes later the last two screws came out.
So your saying the Z has an aftermarket engine? Teddy asked, how much do you think its worth?
I don’t know said Ran, probably at least 20k in today’s money or maybe more if it was pro built. Maybe that’s why there are so many people interested? Grab that corner Teddy and pull back slightly.
I doubt it, Teddy insisted. Even a skyline engine isn’t enough to make yesterday’s shooter do what he did, besides, how could he know? I think when this is all over and the police bust him and we have time to count our chips everything will add up! We will probably find out that he was just some super crazy bastard who had a bad morning after he went off his meds. This corner appears to be glued on! I don’t want to ruin the leather by ripping it.
Using a scraper, while Ran held the car seat steady, Teddy began chipping away at the glue and separating the panel from the back of the seat.
Knock knock knock.
Three solid bangs at the garage door stopped their progress.
Teddy and Ran looked at eachother.
You expecting anyone? Ran asked. No, probably someone seen us working and ignoring the closed sign still wants to see a car.
Hold on, Ran said as he opened the door.
Looking out from the door he could see the front line cars, and most of the car lot but nobody was there.
Weird.
Who is it Teddy called.
Nobody.
Your kidding!
Three knocks again, and then a huge raven called from the roof just above the door.
Ran looked up and instinctively threw himself back. Holy Shit! Get a load of this giant crow!
Teddy hurried over to the doorway, and looking out and up got a great glimpse of the huge bird. It stared at the Brothers calmly, not intimidated in the slightest by either Ran or Teddys sudden appearance.
Caw! Caaaw!
What in the world! It’s as big as a cat! Teddy guffed.
Bigger than most cats agreed Ran. Have you ever seen one this close before?
Get off there! Mike shouted
The bird lifted one leg and stamped it back down, and then opened its maw grumbled at Teddy.
What do you think it wants? Asked Teddy.
With a chuckling sound the huge bird extended its wings.
Hold on! Proclaimed Ran. I want to get it something from the fridge. Ran went back inside, returning with a half eaten cold cut sandwich.
You shouldn’t feed it!
Why not?
Because, because it might stick around.
I don’t care, I like it. She’s beautiful, look at her!
The Raven cooed at Ran as he walked outside with the sandwich, setting the treat in the shadow of one of the back row cars. Then Ran clucked back at the huge bird.
You better hope it doesn’t take a full sized sandwich shit on one of our cars after eating that!
I don’t care.
I do!
Maybe it will chase the rats away Said Ran as he walked back through the entrance. Lets finish getting the back off the seat so I can fix it.
Those fucking things are evil. Teddy suggested.
So are black cats, yet you live with a what? A black cat!
Superstition, I get it, I get it! But that’s a wild animal.
Ran called from inside the garage, help me finish.
Teddy followed Ran back inside.
We could just buy new seats.
If I can’t fix these, we can do exactly that!
Teddy grabbed a dull knife and started scraping at the glue as Ran gently depressed a large flat head screw driver between the back plate and the seat, when suddenly the clam shell practically jumped off of the seat.
Ouch! Teddy called out , holding his thumb. I cut myself!
What happened?
Maybe that’s what all the glue was about, to keep the shell from popping off the back of the seat.
Don’t bleed allover the leather, Ran complained.
Too late.
Drops of blood had smeared the white leather.
Do you need stitches? Ran asked, Let me see.
I’m fine, answered his older brother , just a small cut. You finish while I wash this off and get a bandage
Teddy retured in a moment with his thumb covered with gauze and a bottle of rubbing alcohol to clean the seat with.
Ran had stopped working. He was staring at the seat. I got the rest of the clamshell off after you went back inside, Teddy, and I’m a tad stuck!
Your stuck? I never heard that one from you before, I thought you said you can fix anything!?
I can’t fix what I don’t understand, tell me what I’m looking at?!
Teddy got closer and tried to see what Ran was worried about. The off-white seat leather was neatly folded around the sub frame, previously hidden by the seats clamshell.
What am I looking at Teddy?
That’s simply fucking bizarre! Teddy answered. I have no fucking idea!
Looks like someone took out the reclining mechanism and created a small hidden compartment, Ran wanted to theorize a reason but he drew a blank.
I don’t want to touch whatever that package is. Looks like your blood got on it.
Great! It better not be something illegal, my dna is all over it now!
That’s been hidden in the car seat for probably the last 20-30 years, probably cocain!
That I wouldn’t mind so much, or, a money stash would be awesome!
Inside the small hidden compartment was a package wrapped in cloth. It was tied with brown twine string. On the surface were symbols, one symbol that Teddy immediately recognized was a pentagram.
I think the passenger seat is in the same condition because it also doesn’t move.
Before we touch whatever it is and get that voodoo all over us, Teddy Joked, let’s see if the other seat is also hiding something.
The Raven flew off the roof and landed next to the sandwich and began clucking as It picked out the meat, leaving the mayonnaise soaked bread, tomato and lettuce on the ground.
After gulping down the meal, She flew back up too her place on top of the garage satisfied from the sandwich meet and cheese. She began cleaning her feathers while listening to the brothers.
They quickly removed the passenger seat and clamshell exposing a duplicate void with a second package that was identical to the first except the symbols on the outside were different.
Blows my mind, Teddy said.
Me too, Ran agreed.
Ran grabbed a pair of scissors and was about to cut the brown twine suspending the packet inside the driver seat when his brother stopped him.
How do we know it’s not booby trapped. What if it explodes or something if removed the wrong way?
Ran studied his brother. I don’t think so, why would someone do that?
Maybe for the same reason someone stuffed an engine like that in that car?
What do you want to do?
I don’t know, put on your welding gloves or something, Teddy suggested.
No thanks, Ran clipped the twine. It’s obviously a stash.
Ran pulled put the small package. Feels heavy, like it’s stuffed with paper.
Maybe it’s money!
Ran removed the other package from the passenger seat, placing them side by side on the work table.
Are the seats going to work now?
I don’t think so, they look welded into that upright position. I think we have to replace them.
Shame, the leather is nice.
Knock knock knock
Your new friend is knocking again, probably wants more sandwich.
Wait a second Ran hushed his brother.
The closed shop door let a little light in from the outside, they could see a shadow moving at the bottom, it looked like someone was standing next to the door listening.
Teddy went to the door and yelled, “Were Closed”!
The person on the other side sounded muffled.
Sounded female, Teddy said with a surprise as he opened the door to meet a small elderly woman dressed in all black, she was wearing clothing similar to funeral attire, even her sun hat was black.
I’m sorry, Teddy repeated, Were not open on Sundays.
She didn’t act disappointed in the very least, that’s okay, I don’t want to buy anything, I’m looking for someone.
Oh, Okay. Teddy explained, It’s just me and my brother here working on a car at the moment.
Yes, hello! She greeted him.
Teddy noticed how black her eyes were, so much so that he couldn’tttell if she was looking at him or straight through him.
I’m happy to wait outside, she smiled. I’m always happy to be outside in the fresh air.
Wait for what?
No what, whom! She sort of laughed.
We really haven’t seen anyone besides ourselves today, were you planning on meeting someone?
Teddy felt a little concerned that the woman was senile, possibly even homeless. He was about to send her away when she asked, can I have a glass of water?
Water? He asked back. You want water? Hold on a moment.
Teddy closed the door on her and walking past his brother explained that a crazy woman waiting outside wants a glass of water..
There is a bottle of water in the fridge.
That’s what I was going to do.
A moment later Teddy returned, giving the old woman a bottle of water.
Oh, thank you! She said pleased at Teddys generosity.
I’ll pay you something for it!
Oh no! Teddy insisted. I don’t want any money, it’s on the house!
On the house? You don’t have anything but a basketball and an umbrella on the house, isn’t that funny!
Teddy was now confused. I suppose so. He didn’t understand what she was referring too. Basketball? Umbrella?
The little lady opened her purse and pulled out an envelope. This is for you and your brother, be well!
She said the last part in a very orderly manner, as if giving instructions.
Teddy received the envelope. I really don’t need anything.
It’s a prayer, I hope you can use it well!
A prayer? Okay, thanks I guess. We all can use a prayer, Teddy suggested, he was starting to feel like he was stuck in a conversation that he couldn’t get out of.
Do you need anything other than water? I want to get back to helping my Brother.
Of course you do! She smiled. Don’t hurt yourself.
Okay?
She turned and walked straight over to the half eaten sandwich. Oh dear, she said and bent over with a cloth handkerchief, started wiping up the mess.
Did Marvin do this!
Teddy was beside himself, horrified to see a homeless woman cleanup a mess his Brother made. He rushed out and grabbed the discarded sandwich makings from her and with his bare hands went about cleaning up the rest. I’m sorry, my Brother left that there, you don’t have to clean it up! Let me get this.
Oh, your so kind. I was hoping Marvin didn’t make the mess.
It wasn’t Marvin unless Marvin is a raven.
Have you seen my Marvin?
No, just a big black bird.
She smiled, I see now! Will it bother you if I stand over there and wait for Marvin? She pointed to a dry spot next to the corner of Mikes portable office.
How could he say no? No worries, but hold on!
Teddy went inside the garage and after dumping the sandwich remnants returned with a folding chair, he kindly placed the chair where she wanted to stand and offered her the seat. Please, sit here as long as you like.
She sat and without saying another word, stared at the cars driving past.
I’m going in the garage to help my Brother again, goodbye! Teddy waived bye to her. She gave him one last look and smiled back.
Inside Teddy found his brother slowly undressing the package. I waited for you to open it, did you make a new friend?
She is super nice but I think maybe she is having a senior moment. She kept saying she was meeting someone called Marvin.
Marvin?
That’s what she said. I also picked up the sandwich that your bird friend scattered all over the parking lot. He picked out the good stuff and left the rest in a mess. Wait a second, he removed the envelope from his pocket. She said to give you this prayer.
Open it! Ran laughed, probably some Jesus stuff.
Let’s open up the package, I don’t need a prayer right now. Teddy discarded the envelope onto the table.
Ran picked up the envelope and read the neat handwriting on the outside Don’t open until after dark? What in the hell?
Forget the envelope, let’s see what has been hiding in these seats for the last umpteen years!

A @chrysler vehicle comes in with a locked up wheel. Got it on the @challengerlifts to figure out the issue, and we see that the last "shop" stripped out the caliper slide pins. Instead of properly repairing the threads, they took a larger bolt and impacted it into the steering knuckle! This caused a couple issues: first, the caliper couldn't slide properly and second, the bolts were too long and were pressing the inside brake pad into the rotor at all times! Now we're off with @izthorne and @justinatv_youtube to properly repair the threads, put the OE slide pins back in, and send another satisfied customer out the door knowing that they have found their go-to place at @the.mechanic.shop for all of their mechanical needs! #mechanicsnightmare #mechanic #mechaniclife #mechaniclifestyle #automotivetechnician #automechanic #autotech #automotiverepair #autotechnician #autolift #automotive #autorepair #themechanicshopinc #thebestofthebest #whereourcustomersareourfriends #fixingothersmistakes #fubar (at The Mechanic Shop, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGi8ePxnO-J/?igshid=xlqadvxivf4r

Melissa Ran Teddy (3)
Get ready to run!
Ran parked the little Z car in the small garage next to Teddys portable office.
Slowly guiding the car up the ramp while stopping every few inches Ran made sure the bottom wouldn’t scrape on his mechanics autolift and thankfully the wheels lined up perfectly as if the tool was made for it.
He wanted to meditate on what happened except the car seat was making him sore. The only complaint he had about the Z car was how uncomfortable the seats were.
He tried to recline in the driver’s seat because he wanted to sit in the car and think about the last 24 hours, only No matter what he did with the adjustment levers the seat wouldn’t fold back past the first position.
Ran wriggled and pushed and tried everything he could think of to force the seat to recline but the only thing that moved was the grizzly memories of yesterday’s shooting, filling him with the guilt of causing others to be harmed through his own self-centered actions.
The damn car was actually for sale, the shooter was correct, he could of let the smelly psychopath buy the damn thing if his own ego didn’t get in the way.
Everything was normal and then everything went to hell so damn quickly and Ran felt genuinely fortunate that he survived the robbery without getting shot.
This morning while fending off the car prowlers, he could have simply chased them away, but for some reason he assaulted them both with his stupid wrist rocket.
Ran felt like a bigger asshole than either the shooter or the pair of thieves, and what would have been worse if the prowlers were also armed, how stupid does stupid get, he could have been shot either time, twice in the last 24 hours.
A smile creased his face when he remembered how he blasted the masked person who was looking over the fence with his sling shot. He hit that dude in the forehead right between the eyes. Rans smile dropped when He remembered Mary and poor Manuel, they also got shot and Manuel likely is blind in one eye for life, if he lives and nothing more serious happens to him.
Marys brother was a big strong dude, but Ran felt like he caused the accident, and hoped like hell that Manuel was strong enough to survive a gunshot to the face and not succumb to his injury or from an infection. Hopefully the bullet or a fragment didn’t enter his skull and give him brain damage.
Ran winced at the image of Manuel holding his eye, the whole thing was terrible, and that made sitting uncomfortable even more irritating.
Ran didn’t mean to cause anyone any harm, he didn’t like seeing people suffer in any way at all, and his Mom was right about one thing and the last 24 hours proved her 100% spot on correct, the car was if anything a dark chapter, a veritable vector for bad luck.
Ran tried moving the seat forward and backwards and even when pushing his feet againstthe firewall it still wouldn’t tilt, recline or shift backwards.
Ran slid over to the other side of the car and tried the passenger seat, amazingly that seat was in the same un moving condition. How bizarre.
It's not like they were cheap either, they looked like top of the line off white leather high backs, they even had padded lumbar support. Great looking but neither operated.
The weather was changing from a neutral morning to overcast. A slight breeze came in from the Puget Sound blowing the haze up from the south and eastward. The roads were slicked with morning dew and he was sure the changing conditions were irritating the steady stream of drivers who were already hurriedly passing the car lot on their way to work.
It was a Sunday, why do people want to rush to work on a Sunday? Ran imagined that very few servers relished the idea of wiping down a customer counter and handing out coffee to snobbish assholes on a weekend unless they really needed the money.
Again Ran tried to adjust the drivers seat but it remained in the upright position.
Teddy slid open the office window that faced the garage. He was waiting for the right moment to spring something on his little brother.
Before Ran arrived, Mom called Teddy and had a thorough discussion with her eldest son, explaining to him how she seen the next few days working out. Either an agreement was going to be made, or consequences would follow.
Teddy was screwing up his courage to have a discussion that he knew Ran wouldn’t be overly happy with.
Ran! His brother yelled out his portable office window. Hey, could you please come to the office when you get a chance, I’ve got something you might be interested in, or rather there is something we have to discuss.
Sundays at the lot were closed. They were often there by choice but not to talk with customers, Sunday was catch up day so the open sign was turned off and the barricade chain was drawn across the entrance and pad locked to keep cars from driving through.
The inside of the office was low lit by choice, Teddy was sitting in his desk chair and Ran found one of the two customer chairs on the other side of his desk to stretch out in
Well? Asked Teddy,what do you think? He said, pushing a new phone across the table.
I dont want it, answered Ran.
You really need to think about that Brother, it’s not just your dignity on the lone here, it’s also my…it’s actually both of our livelihoods at stake here, its what Mom is asking us to do, what she wants from us in return so please, just take it for a while, give it a week.
You know it goes against the way I live, the way I am.
Listen, you don’t even have to pay for it, just keep it in your pocket.
Ran shook his head and held up his hands, and was about to give another reason why he shouldn’t be forced into doing something that egregious until his older brother exerted himself.
Mom’s name is on the deed for our business.
I know.
So, unless I can magically have my clean record restored, which I can’t or you somehow grow a credit score and you realy don’t have any. You have always refused credit so you don’t even have a score, then our only choice is that we get to grin and bear the responsibility of doing what Mom asks. Dammit Ran! I got you the same kind of top of the line traceless phone that I have. In fact it’s the newer model, and I listed it on my own network, loaded my own AI on It, I sandboxed it so it completely untraceable.
You just happened to have this today?
Ive had it in my desk for weeks, ive been putting her off, been putting off talking to you about it but Mom put her foot down on me today Ran, shes not kidding!
You and she, you both have been working on this behind my back for weeks?
What? No, it’s not like that at all. Mom wants to feel safe and giving you access to her with a cell phone fixes that problem and a few other problems like keeping the lot open.
Okay, Ran relented, I’ll hold the phone but I don’t promise you that I’m going to use it. I will take the phone so Mom will feel better.
Unless Mom or I call, you never need to pick it up! If Mom or I call will you please answer? Nothing will go wrong if you do, I swear!
Don’t say that.
Don’t say what.
Don’t promise me and say that you swear, you know how I Hate it when you tell me that you swear, because every time you do it comes undone.
You got your point, Ran, take the phone, please.
Okay.
Promise me.
Okay.
Say it.
No, no need, I’m not a liar.
You have never told me a lie, I never called you a liar before, have I ever said that too you Ran, that’s not it at all. Look little brother, I know this is hard for you. It’s even harder for me to ask you, you know I hate asking.
Ran shifted in his seat.
Are you okay.
Actually, I’m just fine. My back hurts because the damn seats in the Z won’t recline or move at all, instead of tilting back the seat backs are sticking nearly straight up. So if our talk is over I have to go to the automotive store and purchase a book.
Hold on, you want blueprints? Get ahold of this trick Melissa can do. You need to set up a password, but first check this out. Teddy clicked on Rans new phone. Melissa?
Hello , is that you Teddy?
Can you get blueprint drawings for the car my brother is working on, it’s the car we just got from the Police auction.
You call it the Z car? Melissa answered.
Yes, the seat needs fixed.
Okay, 1970 240 Z. This car is heavily modified so the results I can find may be inaccurate. There are two given options for seats, are they manually operated or electric ?
Manual.
Ran was listening intently, and surprised at the ease at which Melissa performed the request.
Okay, detailed blueprints. To see them, click the open tab or tell me to open them.
Teddy held the phone out to Ran, tell her.
Okay, open the prints.
Instantly the details appeared on the screen.
Swipe sideways to enable key.
What?
She means the arrows to move the page. Teddy did so for Ran.
Use two fingers like this to zoom in or out…wait, you do it.
Ran held the phone up and zoomed in and out.
Is that you, Ran? Melissa asked.
Ran clicked off the phone.
Hey, Ran! What are we getting for lunch today?
I’m not hungry.
Okay, no worries little Brother.
Ran went back to the garage and threw his new phone onto the floorboard of the Z car.
So, heavy modified? How did Melissa know that?
Ran then noted the steering system was not original. Maybe she’s right. Okay little Z , Ran smiled anxiously as he poped the cars hood to get a first look at the engine.
What in the world happened to it? Thought Ran. It’s been changed out!
The original engine was missing, in its place was an engine stamped with the letters RB26DETT. Almost the entire engine was chromed out, tip to tail.
I knew was fast, but I didn’t expect a skyline engine.
Ran grabbed a three button drop cord that was suspended from the garage ceiling and clicked the up button.
The lift slowly elevated the z and stopped at Rans eye level.
Well crafted aftermarket exhaust.. A fuel cell in place of the tank…shoots, is that a NOS bottle? Where is the switch?
Expensive stuff, maybe that’s why the mileage was so small He wondered, Most Z cars of this age were already decaying in a junk yard or smashed into a cube and sent to a Chinese based metal producer to be made into razer blades and soup cans. This car was different, it felt special, this car was really something fantastic!
Ran grabbed up an air lead and using his impact wrench unbolted the seat keepers.
A moment later Ran was pulling the off white leather drivers seat out, and placed it on the Shop table.
He tried several times to get the seat to operate on the table but it was still stuck. He flipped the seat on its side so he could work on it.
Ran noticed right away that the clamshell that held the back of the seat together had aftermarket screws attached to it and a glue line. The screws he started slowly removing with a screwdriver.
Two screws remained, those were stuck, the retainer clip was turning with the screw, Ran needed a third hand to get the last two screws out.
Ran picked up the phone and clicked it on.
Hello Ran, Melissa said.
Could you get Teddy to come to the garage?
A few seconds later Teddy came through the door bering a huge smile, you did it! You actually used the phone!
No, I made your AI use the phone for me! Ran knew it was the same thing but it somehow felt better saying it that way.
A moment later Teddy set himself up to help, armed with a set of needle nose grips he applied tension to the clips.
It took a lot of patience and about 5 minutes later the last two screws came out.
So your saying the Z has an aftermarket engine? Teddy asked, how much do you think its worth?
I don’t know said Ran, probably at least 20k in today’s money or maybe more if it was pro built. Maybe that’s why there are so many people interested? Grab that corner Teddy and pull back slightly.
I doubt it, Teddy insisted. Even a skyline engine isn’t enough to make yesterday’s shooter do what he did, besides, how could he know? I think when this is all over and the police bust him and we have time to count our chips everything will add up! We will probably find out that he was just some super crazy bastard who had a bad morning after he went off his meds. This corner appears to be glued on! I don’t want to ruin the leather by ripping it.
Using a scraper, while Ran held the car seat steady, Teddy began chipping away at the glue and separating the panel from the back of the seat.
Knock knock knock.
Three solid bangs at the garage door stopped their progress.
Teddy and Ran looked at eachother.
You expecting anyone? Ran asked. No, probably someone seen us working and ignoring the closed sign still wants to see a car.
Hold on, Ran said as he opened the door.
Looking out from the door he could see the front line cars, and most of the car lot but nobody was there.
Weird.
Who is it Teddy called.
Nobody.
Your kidding!
Three knocks again, and then a huge raven called from the roof just above the door.
Ran looked up and instinctively threw himself back. Holy Shit! Get a load of this giant crow!
Teddy hurried over to the doorway, and looking out and up got a great glimpse of the huge bird. It stared at the Brothers calmly, not intimidated in the slightest by either Ran or Teddys sudden appearance.
Caw! Caaaw!
What in the world! It’s as big as a cat! Teddy guffed.
Bigger than most cats agreed Ran. Have you ever seen one this close before?
Get off there! Mike shouted
The bird lifted one leg and stamped it back down, and then opened its maw grumbled at Teddy.
What do you think it wants? Asked Teddy.
With a chuckling sound the huge bird extended its wings.
Hold on! Proclaimed Ran. I want to get it something from the fridge. Ran went back inside, returning with a half eaten cold cut sandwich.
You shouldn’t feed it!
Why not?
Because, because it might stick around.
I don’t care, I like it. She’s beautiful, look at her!
The Raven cooed at Ran as he walked outside with the sandwich, setting the treat in the shadow of one of the back row cars. Then Ran clucked back at the huge bird.
You better hope it doesn’t take a full sized sandwich shit on one of our cars after eating that!
I don’t care.
I do!
Maybe it will chase the rats away Said Ran as he walked back through the entrance. Lets finish getting the back off the seat so I can fix it.
Those fucking things are evil. Teddy suggested.
So are black cats, yet you live with a what? A black cat!
Superstition, I get it, I get it! But that’s a wild animal.
Ran called from inside the garage, help me finish.
Teddy followed Ran back inside.
We could just buy new seats.
If I can’t fix these, we can do exactly that!
Teddy grabbed a dull knife and started scraping at the glue as Ran gently depressed a large flat head screw driver between the back plate and the seat, when suddenly the clam shell practically jumped off of the seat.
Ouch! Teddy called out , holding his thumb. I cut myself!
What happened?
Maybe that’s what all the glue was about, to keep the shell from popping off the back of the seat.
Don’t bleed allover the leather, Ran complained.
Too late.
Drops of blood had smeared the white leather.
Do you need stitches? Ran asked, Let me see.
I’m fine, answered his older brother , just a small cut. You finish while I wash this off and get a bandage
Teddy retured in a moment with his thumb covered with gauze and a bottle of rubbing alcohol to clean the seat with.
Ran had stopped working. He was staring at the seat. I got the rest of the clamshell off after you went back inside, Teddy, and I’m a tad stuck!
Your stuck? I never heard that one from you before, I thought you said you can fix anything!?
I can’t fix what I don’t understand, tell me what I’m looking at?!
Teddy got closer and tried to see what Ran was worried about. The off-white seat leather was neatly folded around the sub frame, previously hidden by the seats clamshell.
What am I looking at Teddy?
That’s simply fucking bizarre! Teddy answered. I have no fucking idea!
Looks like someone took out the reclining mechanism and created a small hidden compartment, Ran wanted to theorize a reason but he drew a blank.
I don’t want to touch whatever that package is. Looks like your blood got on it.
Great! It better not be something illegal, my dna is all over it now!
That’s been hidden in the car seat for probably the last 20-30 years, probably cocain!
That I wouldn’t mind so much, or, a money stash would be awesome!
Inside the small hidden compartment was a package wrapped in cloth. It was tied with brown twine string. On the surface were symbols, one symbol that Teddy immediately recognized was a pentagram.
I think the passenger seat is in the same condition because it also doesn’t move.
Before we touch whatever it is and get that voodoo all over us, Teddy Joked, let’s see if the other seat is also hiding something.
The Raven flew off the roof and landed next to the sandwich and began clucking as It picked out the meat, leaving the mayonnaise soaked bread, tomato and lettuce on the ground.
After gulping down the meal, She flew back up too her place on top of the garage satisfied from the sandwich meet and cheese. She began cleaning her feathers while listening to the brothers.
They quickly removed the passenger seat and clamshell exposing a duplicate void with a second package that was identical to the first except the symbols on the outside were different.
Blows my mind, Teddy said.
Me too, Ran agreed.
Ran grabbed a pair of scissors and was about to cut the brown twine suspending the packet inside the driver seat when his brother stopped him.
How do we know it’s not booby trapped. What if it explodes or something if removed the wrong way?
Ran studied his brother. I don’t think so, why would someone do that?
Maybe for the same reason someone stuffed an engine like that in that car?
What do you want to do?
I don’t know, put on your welding gloves or something, Teddy suggested.
No thanks, Ran clipped the twine. It’s obviously a stash.
Ran pulled put the small package. Feels heavy, like it’s stuffed with paper.
Maybe it’s money!
Ran removed the other package from the passenger seat, placing them side by side on the work table.
Are the seats going to work now?
I don’t think so, they look welded into that upright position. I think we have to replace them.
Shame, the leather is nice.
Knock knock knock
Your new friend is knocking again, probably wants more sandwich.
Wait a second Ran hushed his brother.
The closed shop door let a little light in from the outside, they could see a shadow moving at the bottom, it looked like someone was standing next to the door listening.
Teddy went to the door and yelled, “Were Closed”!
The person on the other side sounded muffled.
Sounded female, Teddy said with a surprise as he opened the door to meet a small elderly woman dressed in all black, she was wearing clothing similar to funeral attire, even her sun hat was black.
I’m sorry, Teddy repeated, Were not open on Sundays.
She didn’t act disappointed in the very least, that’s okay, I don’t want to buy anything, I’m looking for someone.
Oh, Okay. Teddy explained, It’s just me and my brother here working on a car at the moment.
Yes, hello! She greeted him.
Teddy noticed how black her eyes were, so much so that he couldn’tttell if she was looking at him or straight through him.
I’m happy to wait outside, she smiled. I’m always happy to be outside in the fresh air.
Wait for what?
No what, whom! She sort of laughed.
We really haven’t seen anyone besides ourselves today, were you planning on meeting someone?
Teddy felt a little concerned that the woman was senile, possibly even homeless. He was about to send her away when she asked, can I have a glass of water?
Water? He asked back. You want water? Hold on a moment.
Teddy closed the door on her and walking past his brother explained that a crazy woman waiting outside wants a glass of water..
There is a bottle of water in the fridge.
That’s what I was going to do.
A moment later Teddy returned, giving the old woman a bottle of water.
Oh, thank you! She said pleased at Teddys generosity.
I’ll pay you something for it!
Oh no! Teddy insisted. I don’t want any money, it’s on the house!
On the house? You don’t have anything but a basketball and an umbrella on the house, isn’t that funny!
Teddy was now confused. I suppose so. He didn’t understand what she was referring too. Basketball? Umbrella?
The little lady opened her purse and pulled out an envelope. This is for you and your brother, be well!
She said the last part in a very orderly manner, as if giving instructions.
Teddy received the envelope. I really don’t need anything.
It’s a prayer, I hope you can use it well!
A prayer? Okay, thanks I guess. We all can use a prayer, Teddy suggested, he was starting to feel like he was stuck in a conversation that he couldn’t get out of.
Do you need anything other than water? I want to get back to helping my Brother.
Of course you do! She smiled. Don’t hurt yourself.
Okay?
She turned and walked straight over to the half eaten sandwich. Oh dear, she said and bent over with a cloth handkerchief, started wiping up the mess.
Did Marvin do this!
Teddy was beside himself, horrified to see a homeless woman cleanup a mess his Brother made. He rushed out and grabbed the discarded sandwich makings from her and with his bare hands went about cleaning up the rest. I’m sorry, my Brother left that there, you don’t have to clean it up! Let me get this.
Oh, your so kind. I was hoping Marvin didn’t make the mess.
It wasn’t Marvin unless Marvin is a raven.
Have you seen my Marvin?
No, just a big black bird.
She smiled, I see now! Will it bother you if I stand over there and wait for Marvin? She pointed to a dry spot next to the corner of Mikes portable office.
How could he say no? No worries, but hold on!
Teddy went inside the garage and after dumping the sandwich remnants returned with a folding chair, he kindly placed the chair where she wanted to stand and offered her the seat. Please, sit here as long as you like.
She sat and without saying another word, stared at the cars driving past.
I’m going in the garage to help my Brother again, goodbye! Teddy waived bye to her. She gave him one last look and smiled back.
Inside Teddy found his brother slowly undressing the package. I waited for you to open it, did you make a new friend?
She is super nice but I think maybe she is having a senior moment. She kept saying she was meeting someone called Marvin.
Marvin?
That’s what she said. I also picked up the sandwich that your bird friend scattered all over the parking lot. He picked out the good stuff and left the rest in a mess. Wait a second, he removed the envelope from his pocket. She said to give you this prayer.
Open it! Ran laughed, probably some Jesus stuff.
Let’s open up the package, I don’t need a prayer right now. Teddy discarded the envelope onto the table.
Ran picked up the envelope and read the neat handwriting on the outside Don’t open until after dark? What in the hell?
Forget the envelope, let’s see what has been hiding in these seats for the last umpteen years!
