Keith pushed open the door to the car dealership and motioned for Natalie to go through. He followed her, looking around at all the new cars. He was curious about hwat Natalie would do when she figured out what they were there for. He waited for a salesman to realize they were there, but also wondered through the cars. He didn't check to see if Natalie was following.

"Excuse me, but we're about to close," the salesman said as he walked up behind Keith. Keith turned.

"My friend and I would really like to drive this car, just to see if we would like to buy it," Keith replied. The salesman gave Keith a dirty look. "You don't want to lose a sale, now do you?" He held the salesman's eye steadily.

Natalie just stood there. She was still confused as to what they were doing there. Was Keith going to nag the poor salesman until they got to test drive the dumb car and then not even buy it? Yes, that seemed like, to her, something Keith would do. At least, she was pretty sure that Keith didn't have the sixty grand they were asking for. Heck, he probably didn't even have enough for the down-payment.

"Fifteen minutes," she heard the salesman say. "If it's not back in fifteen minutes, I call the cops." She looked at Keith. Had he been expecting that? She hadn't been. Keith merely nodded.

"Of course, sir. We'll be back in fifteen minutes on the dot," Keith replied and took the keys. "Come on, partner. We only have fifteen seconds, after all." She watched him climb into the drivers seat before sighing. She wasn't about ot let him do it on his own.

Natalie wordlessly looked out the window as Keith drove. He had figured the radio out and it was now playing on some rock station. She rested her head against the glass. She had to hand it to Keith, the car wasn't too bad. It had leather, heated seats, good speakers, wasn't too loud or bumby of a ride, had a GPS, and even those little DVD players. She didn't know how he did it. He just seemed to…know.

Keith glanced at Natalie. The look on her face made one believe she was trying to find a cure for cancer. Keith let out a short laugh. Natalie glanced at him. He simply wave her off. He wasn't going to tell her. What was the point? To get sympathy? No, he didn't want sympathy. He'd gotten enough whenever his mom had passed away.

"How do you do it, Keith?" she asked finally.

"Do what?" he asked, avoiding her gaze. She shrugged.

"Just…everything!" she gestured around with her hands as she spoke. "You managed to talk a grumpy salesman into letting us test drive a car we have no intent on buying."

"Just have to have the magic touch, partner," was his only reply. She nodded.

"Okay, magic touch. I'll have to add if to my book of mysteries about you."

"I have no mysteries. The answers are there if you know where to look," he replied. That was all he would tell her, he decided.

"Okay, and where would that be, exactly?" she asked, looking at him. He shrugged.

"That part you have to figure on your own."

"My own?"

"Yes, partner. People do tend to do things alone, you know? Not everyone wants to be surrounded by 'friends' and smothered by their foreign relationship partner."

"Raf doesn't smother me, Keith, and what do you know exactly about relationships?" she asked, looking at him again. Keith remained silent. "Don't judge my life if I don't judge yours."

"There's nothing in my life to judge," Keith replied grimly. She fell silent and he was thankful for the peace.

Natalie was amazed when they pulled back onto the lot at exactly fifteen minutes later. She just filed it away as another Keith moment. At least he's prompt, she thought to herself. She climbed out of the car as Keith handed the keys over to the same grumpy salesman.

"Right on time, sire, but we don't want it. You might want to check those breaks out, though. They aren't the greatest," Keith told him. "Shall we, partner?" he asked. Natalie allowed herself to smile.

"Yes, partner, I'm ready," she replied and they exited the dealership. "So, we have a yellow truck, open road, and a lot of opportunity." He smiled at her.
