Miss: Abbie starts a normal conversation, while she takes you to her brother's tattoo shop.

"Hi, Eric!" Abbie gives you a smile, then hugs you gently, as she walks in. "I hope your holidays went well."

"It did, Abbie." You respond to her. "How was your holidays, Abbie?"

"Mine went well, too." She tells you, as she hops onto the sturdy kitchen counter, crossing her legs at the knees. "Some poor guys objected to my brother closing the tattoo shop during the holidays, but he and I needed the break, to visit family and friends in Pittsburgh."

"Your brother runs a tattoo shop?" You ask her next.

"Yep, he does," Abbie responds, "and sometimes, I help him, too. Right now, when I'm not dancing, or playing guitar for a local rock band, I help my brother at the tattoo shop."

"You do?" You ask her next. "Do you help him keep the shop supplied?"

"More than that, Eric." She giggles playfully, moving a mesh sleeve up to show you a newly done tattoo of a red rose with thorned stems wrapping around her right wrist. "I do my own tattoo artwork. You should come see my brother at the shop, 'Hawkins Ink'. He does all kinds of work, on nearly every part of the body."

"Hhmm, an interesting offer, Abbie." You look to her, watching her roll the mesh sleeve back down.

"Who knows, hon," Abbie tells you, "you might find inspiration for your next customs work, and my brother has a classic muscle car that he's looking to get restored & customized."

"What kind of car is it?" You ask her.

"He's got it at the shop," Abbie tells you, "if you want to come and see it for yourself."

She hops off the counter, and starts to lead you out of your apartment home. Then it's a walk down to the street, where you see her modern hatchback, parked next to a parking meter. Both of you exchange simple, normal chatter as she drives to the tattoo shop. It is there that you see her brother's muscle car behind the building.

"Wow, a '69 Chevy?" You look to Abbie as you step out of her car, and take a good look at her brother's car. "Hhmm, the original body looks like it's in good-enough condition, but can use a bit of work. The upholstery on the seats obviously needs some work, and the leather on the dashboard either needs restoration, or to be replaced. Other than that, the gauges look to be in good shape."

"You want my brother to come open the hood for you?" Abbie looks to you, smiling.

"Please. I want to make sure the engine is in good condition." You look to her, seeing her approach, and pecks your temple with her lips, then goes to get her brother.
