As they were closer now he could see an air of her not being from here, he could be wrong obviously, besides he'd only lived in town for a few years now but she looked like she was above people in this town, not in a bad way, just an accomplished woman. "Well, if it's a battery problem I can't do nothing about it. And for the overheat you just have to let it cool." Carrick tsked. Looking over the bed of his truck he checked if he had some rope to at least pull the woman's car with his but they had no luck. "I am, yeah, got a bar downtown, I was heading there right now. I don't have anything to pull your car but you can come with me and we'll get a tow and we're not that far so it's pretty safe if you it stays here for a while." He motioned to the car.

After another busy Saturday night, work was almost for Carrick, the last thing to do was cleaning up the place. The kitchen staff got the back covered and there was him to take care of the front, this was a regular thing for him, although tedious it was kind of relaxing and today particularly it was more entertaining as one of the waitresses used the stage to practice her songs. Jolene had a beautiful voice and he Carrick enjoyed listening to her; what he wouldn't ever disclose was the fact he also found her incredibly gorgeous since he was her boss; it didn't affect there friendly relationship in the very least as he wasn't a creep and just as with everyone else in the staff, Carrick kept a respectful distance.

"Now, that sounded good." Carrick congratulated Jolene from behind the bar as he wiped the counter of all the spilled liquor. "How're the shows going?"

He walked over, closer, stopping at a considerable distance from the woman and held a hand to her. "I'm Carrick." He introduced himself; it was a long shot to show politeness knowing there was little trust nowadays, not to mention all the serial killers documentaries. "Can I check under the hood? I'm no mechanic but I can tell you at least what's wrong with y our car." He offered. "Otherwise, the town is twenty minutes away, if you can wait I can get there and tell the mechanic to come and tow you." Carrick wished he wasn't giving her false hope, Roonie had been drinking last night and who knew if he was going to work this morning, it was the woman's luck to get stranded on this day; she definitely didn't live here, he'd lived in this town for a good number of years so he'd know, so either she was from some surrounding place or she was just passing by.

Friday had finally arrived and that meant going out with Pembe. For many years Carrick's dates happened on days when he wasn't working so that he didn't have to call anyone of the staff on their day off, he had never deemed those dates too important to do that, knowing they were just the kick off for a one night thing. Relationships had been out of question, his heart too closed off and still healing to consider something steady with someone new. Now he did. Pembe had changed things for him,  inside him. And for once, Carrick asked a change of shift to take her out as she deserved after the hell she'd been through. Well, not only because of that but rather because he'd been thinking about her for a long time even before starting looking after her during her recovery.

Parking his car at her place, he knocked on the door and waited patiently for Pembe to open; when she did, the sight that welcomed him had him smiling. "You look stunning, sweetheart." He complimented. "More than usual." He added. "Are you ready to go or need more time?"
