It was five minutes after 9 and Jaegar would normally be closing shop. He received a phone call from some lady on a cell phone saying she needed her car looked at and that she'd be there in ten minutes. He could use the work so he agreed to stay open. That was twenty minutes ago. Giving up, he closed the garage door, turned the neon sign off, and locked the door to his shop. He walked to his black 911 twin turbo and lit a cigarette. Just as he reached for the door handle he heard the obnoxious buzz of a mazda miata. The lowly insect of a car parked next to him and a short blonde emerged. She was not quite 5 feet and couldn't have weighed more than 100 pounds.
"Are you, uhhh, Jag-, uhh, J-A-E-G-A-R?" she said as she read from a sheet of paper.
"It's Jaegar," he replied with a thick German accent.
"Wow. What kind of name is that?" she asked.
"It's German. It means hunger." he answered.
He took a condescending glance at her car and said, "I don't think I can help you."
"Why not?!" she asked indignantly.
"I only work on Porsches." he replied,
"A car's a car, and you're the only one that's open this late. I'm sure you can manage so just fix it. I'll pay whatever it takes."
He sighed and told her to drive her car around back to the entrance of his garage. He followed her and opened the door and turned on the lights. She drive her car inside the garage and got out.
"What's wrong with it?" he asked.
"I'm not really sure." she replied.
"Is it the brakes? Tranmission? Alignment? What?"
"I don't really know!" she snapped.
He popped the hood and looked inside. His 6'10" body seemed even more monumental compared to the tiny car. He turned the engine on and it soon started overheating.
"Something's wrong with your cooling system." he announced
"What's that mean?" she asked with a stupid look on her face.
"It's a wonder you even know how to drive." he said curtly.
"My dad bought me this car when I turned 16 and in three years it hasn't given me any problems so excuse me for not knowing what's wrong with it. I'm not the mechanic here so just fix it and get off my back!"
He went to work on the car, trying to ignore her as she followed him aroind his shop and watched intently as he worked.
"It's too hot in here." she complained as she rolled up her sleeves and unbuttoned the top button on her blouse.
"You'd be more comfortable waiting inside the shop. It's air-conditioned" he said, hoping to get rid of her.
"I should watch you and make sure you're doing it right." she said
"Like you even know what I'm doing." he replied contemptuously.
"You think you're so smart...." she began but his attention wandered as he watched a bead of sweat fall down her face onto her partially exposed chest which was shiny from perspiration.
"Just go wait inside!" he cut her off.
"I'm not going anywhere!" she shouted back.
He picked her up and swung her over one shoulder, opened the door to his shop, and dropped her on the couch in the waiting area.
"Stay here until I'm done." he said.
