Chapter 3
Leroy walks back into the diner to inform the family that Brittany would have their car up and running in no time. As he was walking back to the kitchen, he couldn't help but chuckle at Will still messing with the tv.
"Told you to get the satellite tv, but no you don't listen." Leroy teases.
"What do we need that for?" Will asks still trying to fix the tv.
"History channel, boy." Leroy jokes.
"Please, we got all the history we need right here." Will says. "And here…we…go." he says as he hits the side of the tv one more time. It works. "See." Will says looking proud and smug at Leroy. Leroy just chuckles shaking his head
"What's that?" Rachel asks
Will turns to look at the tv. The screen was clear, but there was a sign on it that said 'This is not a test'.
"I don't know. Looks like some kind of warning or test or something." Will answers.
"I don't think that's a test." she says back.
"Hey dude, I really need to use your phone." Puck says holding up a few dollar bills.
Will takes the money and points to the back. "Office in the back, passed the kitchen." he instructs.
"If this was an emergency, wouldn't they like give us instructions or something?" Katy asks.
"Lee why don't you try your radio maybe they have something up there." Will says. Leroy goes to check his radio, but ends up hearing nothing but static. This starts to make everyone worried.
"M-maybe there was an earthquake." Rachel suggests.
"In the middle of the desert. I don't think so." Will says.
"It might be nothing. Just some problem with the networks or something." Leroy says.
"Maybe it's terrorist." Katy says.
"Oh dear Lord." Russell comments.
"Whoa whoa let's not get all bent out of shape. It could really be nothing. Now I'll just call my brother in Columbus and see what's going on." Leroy says.
"You can't, phone's dead." Puck says coming from the back. "It caught off in the middle of my phone call. I want my money back." he says a little pissed.
"Oh that's just great. Really. So what we're stranded here." Russell huffs.
"Look I'm sure everything is fine. They're probably just working on the lines or something. Besides Brittany will be finished with your car in any moment." Leroy says.
"You really think she can fix it?" Russell asks skeptical about a woman fixing his car.
Leroy caught on to it, becoming very defensive of the girl he thought of as his second daughter, but still remains professional.
"Yes, sir. Brittany is the best mechanic I know. She'll have your car ready." Leroy says.
"I'll bet." Russell mutters before walking away.
Leroy watches the man walk away with a slight glare.
"Uh Uncle Lee." Brittany calls him coming from the back. "I uh think there's something you should see." she says before ushering him to the garage.
When they got to the garage, Brittany lifts the hood of the car.
"What…the…hell?"
