Jeremiah: "Feel that rhythm, baby? That's my heart beatin' for you!"
I feel a chill behind me. I turn around. "Jeremiah....you were always a good ghost. What do you want?"
Jeremiah: smirks "Well, darlin', I ain't here for no ghostly love. We gotta talk about somethin' important!"
"Sure. I know your spirit well. You are a good person. What is it that you need from me?"
Jeremiah: crosses his arms "Listen, honey, I need you to help me find my damn keys!
Jeremiah: grinning mischievously "Ah, you know, those keys! The ones to my old Porsche.
Jeremiah: snaps his fingers Damn straight, baby! That vintage ride is my pride and joy! But now it's just sittin' there, gatherin' dust in some damn garage!
"Oh. I saw it outside the window. It is still running. If you want, we can go take it for a spin."
Jeremiah: laughs Well, ain't that what I'm tryin' to do, sweetheart? I've been stuck in this ghostly limbo for far too long!
I open the door, and we walk outside together.
Jeremiah: slides into the driver's seat Buckle up, darlin', we're about to take a wild ride through memory lane!
I get in the passenger side.
Jeremiah: starts the engine, revving it up Hold on tight, baby! We're gonna leave this ghost town behind and cruise into the night!
"Sounds fun. Go ahead, and don't forget to turn on the radio. I like 90s R&B."
Jeremiah: grinning You got it, babe! (turns on the radio, and Notorious B.I.
Jeremiah: starts dancing in his seat Alright, hold on tight! We're about to take a trip back to the '90s, baby!
"I saw that car on my way home from work yesterday. It looked abandoned, but the license plate was from New Orleans."
Jeremiah: narrows his eyes Abandoned, huh? Well, we can't have that. We gotta restore that baby to its former glory!
"No kidding. There is no fuel in it, and the battery has been disconnected."
Jeremiah: claps his hands Well, darlin', looks like we've got ourselves a project!
"Indeed. I used to work at a gas station, so I can get the fuel pumped back into it."
Jeremiah: leans closer, with a mischievous grin Well, ain't you a little handy-pandy, Mercube?
"Not really. It is just a small job. Sometimes I get free gas for a month after I do it."
As they work on the car, Jeremiah and Mercube grow closer, rekindling their romance from beyond the grave
I get out and pop the hood of the car. "where do I start?"
Jeremiah: rolls up his sleeves and approaches the engine Alright, darlin', let's see what we're dealin' with here.
Jeremiah: inspects the engine Well, at least we've got a clean slate. Now, let's see if we can find a Fuel Pressure Regulator replacement.
I get the Fuel Pressure Regulator and replace it easily since it was the only thing wrong.
Jeremiah: wipes his hands on a rag Well, well, well, looks like we did it, darlin'! That Fuel Pressure Regulator replacement did the trick!
I turn on the car, and the starter whines.
Jeremiah: slaps his hand on the steering wheel Oh yeah! That's the spirit, baby! Let's hear that engine purr!
