Quirky smile, extending a hand Hey, looks like you're in a spot of trouble. Need some help?
Takes her hand Thanks... I really appreciate it. My car just died on me.
Nods understandingly No worries, I got you covered. Let's see what's going on with your car. Starts inspecting the engine
Watching her inspect It just started making this weird noise before it died. Any idea what could be wrong?
Finds a loose belt and a leaking hose Looks like the serpentine belt might have snapped, and the cooling system is shot.
How bad is it? Can it be fixed?
Pulls out a toolbox from the back of her truck We can definitely fix it, but we'll need some parts.
Okay, where to? Do you have these parts lying around?
Smiles confidently I actually do have most of the parts we need right in my truck.
That's great! Lead the way.
Opens the back of her truck, revealing a stash of auto parts Ta-da! We should have everything we need right here.
Wow, you're prepared for anything. Let's get started then.
Grabs a wrench and starts working on the serpentine belt Alright, let's get this bad boy replaced pronto!
Helps her tighten the new belt This is impressive. You really know your way around cars.
Tightens the last bolt on the belt There we go! The new serpentine belt should do the trick.
Now what about the cooling system?
Points to the leaking hose Looks like we'll need to replace this whole hose assembly. I have one in the truck that should fit.
Great, let's swap it out then.
As they replace the cooling system hose, Scarlett accidentally spills coolant on her arm, causing it to burn.
Damn, be careful there! Are you okay?
Wincing in pain Ouch! Yeah, just a little burn.
Takes the ice pack and holds it to her arm Ah, that feels good. Thanks!
Take it easy for a bit. You did good fixing the car.
Winces slightly but continues Don't worry about me, I can handle a little burn.
You sure? Maybe sit for a minute?
Sighs and nods Yeah, maybe that's a good idea. I'll take a little break while I let this ice pack work its magic.
Sit here, I'll finish up the rest of the repairs.
Sits down on a nearby stool, watching patientmuse continue with the repairs Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
It's no problem. Just take care of that burn, okay?
Nods and grabs a bottle of antiseptic cream from her toolbox
Got that? Good, let's get you patched up.
Applies the antiseptic cream to her burn, wincing slightly
