Danno spat to his right, ran his hand along the smooth curve of the fender.

The tech arched an eyebrow.
“Really.”

The tech chewed his lower lip.
“I still think you’re making a huge mistake.”
Danno smiled.
“Hasn’t burned me yet. Only thing that can do that is me.”
The tech nodded slowly and pulled out his window marker.
“Your funeral. I hope you know what you’re doin’, son.”
Danno just grinned.
