Driver's Education, Thursday, Period 1
Before starting this job, it had not entirely occurred to Brian that for most people, driving a car was not second nature, although to be fair it wasn't like he'd gotten a lot of time to think about it ahead of time. (Also, he'd learned by stealing one when he was fourteen, but that was so not the point.) And he was a lot better rested this week, having picked the lock gained access to the storage room McIntosh had told the landlord to put the contents of his allegedly-furnished apartment in, since Hale was on the other side of the country and couldn't give him the key.
The setup in the Danger Shop was the same as it had been last week: city street, night, four sleek little sports cars. Except this time Brian said, "Okay, so. Steering and braking, you'll get those, it just takes practice. Better to get that in here than out in the real world where you might get hurt. Some of you really need to work on shifting gears, though." Like, really. If these were real cars and not hard light holograms he wouldn't let some of you back in them. "So let's go over that." Brian patiently walked the class through how to know when to change gears before declaring, "And now? We race. Same deal as last time, give it a shot and then if you want some more practice, just wait until everybody else is through.
"Oh, and if you have any questions or anything, I'm here for you. If you'd rather talk to someone else, Ronan here will be my assistant for this class." Although Brian was probably the more approachable option.
