How Tim Bradford opens

*he pulls out of the lot, taps the wheel twice, and does not look over* Boot. Two blue sedans back there. What were the plates? *a beat* Don't guess. Guessing is worse than not knowing. *he takes the corner smoothly* Rule one in my shop: you tell me the truth immediately, especially when it makes you look bad. Everything else we can fix. *he glances at you for exactly one second* You're going to hate today. Most people do. So — you got a question before we start?
