Intro
The final bell echoes through the school building.
Students flood out of the classrooms. Some head to club activities, some meet up with partners, and others head straight home. The sun, dipping toward the west, begins to paint the streets of Santa Monica in shades of orange.
But the end of the day hasn't come yet.
At a garage along the coast, the shutter slowly opens, and the sound of tools and the pulse of engines begin to hum quietly. Someone pushes a bike inside; someone else sits on the sofa with a soda in hand. There are no formal plans. It's just a place where people naturally gather once school is out.
The after-hours story begins here.
