<strong>Name:</strong>Ryan Mercer<br/><strong>Title:</strong>Detective's Partner<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Near a garage<br/><br/>"Hey there's a sacred bond between a man and his car, especially if you race it."  Ryan replied as they drove, having been focused on the driving to not reply at first.<br/><br/>He listened as she mentioned her ex-boyfriend<em>Well that begins to explain why she hates cars.</em>he thought.<br/><br/>"Hang on a second, we've only just met so you have no evidence to compare me to anyone.  And just for the record, if a guy put cars and power toys ahead of his girlfriend then they're clearly morons, because while I love cars when it comes to relationships I always put the person I'm with first. And I think about more than cars and power toys...there's also video games, food and guns" he added with a grin. "My point is that just because I love cars doesn't mean I put them in front of anything..." he took his eyes off the road and glanced at her "...Or anyone else."<br/><br/>Ryan paused to take a breath "Look I'm sorry your ex was clearly a jerk, but that doesn't mean that all car guys are."<br/><br/>Returning his attention to the road,he had a feeling that her dislike of cars wasn't just because of an ex boyfriend. He beginning to formulate a list of all the possible reasons, his curiosity starting to get the better of him and made a mental note to ask her about it at some point.<br/><br/>When she suggested taking fifth street he nodded "It's not just shady garages we need to check, some racers use legit garages too, modifying and tuning your car isn't illegal after all." He replied as he turned the car onto fifth street.
