John Greene's P.O.V
Crap! I'm late! Darn it, why did I have to wake up late today?! Boss will fire me if I don't make it to work on time! Why am I unlucky on the most important of days? Last week, we had a meeting and my car broke down! Then on Tuesday, it rained! Argh, I'm so done with this life.
7:36, four more minutes! 'Honk! Honk!' The car in front of me is so slow. Hurry up you grandma.
Then I did something I regretted.

'Bang!' In a mess of anger and impatience, I blindly stepped on the accelerator too hard. I swerved away to avoid the Sliver Pirus and coincidentally crashed into a nearby lamppost. I think I scared some people.
I got out of my well-dented car and looked around for any nearby auto repair shops. I saw one, it was on the streets, just a four minute walk. I didn't have the time, so I ran.
The sign said 'Leo & Calypso's Garage' on half a gear and below it was 'Auto Repair & Mechanical Monsters' and below it again, it said 'Fresh Fruits &. Vegetables' and below it again, for the second time, it said 'Lemonade & Stew'. for once, I got lucky today. I pushed the glass door and got greeted by a cold blast of air.

"Welcome to Leo & Calypso's Garage! How may I help you?" A young girl that looked about 6 was standing on a stool behind the reception desk. (Caleo's child.)

"Um, I need to repair my car down the road. You can help?" I asked uncomfortably. She's too young.

"Oh, I can't help. But my daddy can!" She giggled. "DADDY!" She shouted.

"Yes, Ranza?" A muffled sound came from the room on the right. There were a few clangs and bangs, and the door opened. A latino's head poked through. He saw me and came out. He was quite short.

"Hello, I'm Leo Valdez, CEO of Olympian Technology, how may I help you?" He put out his hand for me to shake.

"I-I'm John Greene... I need help with my car..."

"Oh, sure! Is it that one down the road?"

"Uh, yeah..."

"Man, it looks bad, almost impossible. But hey, I've done impossible things before." Leo smiled crazily.

I led him down the road to my currently smoking car. He looked at it and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh boy, it's gonna take awhile... I'll write you a note for your boss since I know that your late."

"Oh, thank you!" I bowed politely.

He took out a flashlight from his iconic toolbelt and inspected underneath the hood. Then he grabbed a phone, a Festus 09, the newest phone from Olympian Technology. He dialed a few numbers and put it to his nose.

"Hey, Sunshine. Could you uh, bring a tow truck for the car? It's pretty messed up..."

He mumbled a "Yeah, thanks." And pressed the screen.

He looked at me with his hands to his hips and said, "Calypso's going to be here in a minute."

(Omg its like 12:12 A.M here I'm rushing OK?!)

"And that's all. Would you like a snack? Calypso make the best pastries." Leo offered.

"No thanks. How much is it?"

"You sure? You'll regret it!"

"Yeah. How much must I pay?"

"Oh, $15."

"What? A-are you sure it's $15?!"

"Yep! Give me the money, and ride home in the sunset." Leo joked.

I suspiciously handed him the money and drove to work.

And that's how I met Caleo.
