Tim POV: I woke up to the sound of a power drill. I sat up and took a look at my watch. It wasn't even 5am yet! Ugh! Bill is always getting to work early. I knew I wasn't going to get anymore sleep with all of the noise so I threw on my uniform and headed into the garage to start working. "Mornin' sleeping beauty." Bill said as I walked in. "Dang Bill, it's too early for all of this." I said as I yawned. "It's never too early to work." I just shook my head and got to working on one of the cars. A few hours later I heard a customer come through the front door of the lobby. "I'll go get it." I said to Bill. When I walked to the front desk I saw that the customer was my old high school buddy Jack that I hadn't seen since we graduated. "Hey man! What are you doing here? I thought you moved to Mississippi?" I said. He acted like he didn't recognize me at first, but then he realized who I was. "Well I'll be..How ya doing Tim? I didn't recognize you at first!" He said as we shook hands. Jack and I talked for a little while before I realized that the blue oldsmobile that Bill was fixing up was his. After he signed some papers I handed him the keys to his car. "Hey, you doing anything tonight?" He asked me. "Not that I know of." "Why don't you come have a few drinks with me and some friends. We can catch up on old times." "Sure man, that sounds great!" "Alright, we are all meeting at Gillys bar downtown at around 8. See you there?" "You got it." I said. We talked a little longer then he left and I got back to work.
