Under The Rain

I'm about half way home when it begins to thunderstorm and I can barely see the road. After about five minutes of struggling to see, my car starts to act funny.
Uh-no...
Just like as thought. My car is breaking down.
Dammit. Can this day get any worse?
I get out my blue Ford Taurus into the hard pouring rain to look under the hood to see if I can determine the problem (As if I know anything about cars).
I look at what seems to be the battery, but I wouldn't know if it's dead or not. All I know is that this couldn't have happened at a worse time.
As I study the parts of my car, I hear something. Something that isn't rain...
"Can I help you with that?" A guy whispers in my ear behind me.
