INDIGO POV
As I drive past the sign reading
' Dibchester Falls ' I can feel the fear and nausea take over me, am I really doing this ? Yes, yes I am.
I pull up into my new home, taking it all in. man this place need's some work especially this grass.
I start unpacking my car and start loading my belongings into the house, man if Dad was here to see this..
" Hey mom " I say through the phone.
" Hey sweetheart, you settle in okay ? "
" Yeah, I guess.. hey mom listen, I found something that I didn't pack.. "
" Your dad wanted you to have them "
" Mom, it's a bunch of weapons that could've had my ass arrested if pulled over, you could've at-least told me about them just in case "
" I know baby, I know. I'm sorry but I knew you wouldn't of taken them, you need them. You don't know what kind of people will target you. put them in the basement and store a couple around the house.. please "
" Okay mom.. " I sighed.
" Now go get some paint and decorate that house of yours "
" Okay, bye mom. love you " I hang up.
My first destination is the bar, although I put an application in online, judging by the place they don't go online often.. best to play it safe.
" Hey, I'm Indigo.." Crap what last name do I use? Jensen? Walters ? I mean Jensen is on my birth certificate after all....
" Jensen, Indigo Jensen " I shake the hand of the person behind the bar. He gives me a strange look after I mentioned my last name.. I wonder if he knows my father.
" Jensen ? As in Marvin Jensen ?"
" No, just Jensen.." I look down.
Fuck should've said Walters .
" What can I do for you, just Jensen ? " He smirks.
" I applied for a part time job here online and was wondering when I would hear back " I smile.
" Dancer or bar tender ? " He asks
" Dancer ? Define Dancer please "
" Stripper "
" Oh, what's hiring ? I was a bartender back where I use to live, but I will take whatever I can get " I've never stripped before.. But I mean I would be open to it, a jobs a job.
" Thought's on working both ? We are desperate, some nights bar, some nights pole ? "
" Sure, perfect. "
" Oh and love, we don't do online applications here, so if you applied for any more I suggest stopping in "
" Thanks. What nights will you be putting me on for ? Enough time for me to get a second.. Well third job during the day " I pipe up.. I would rather work now that my schooling is part online, going on campus 1 day a week will not be enough of a social life "
" Looks like we have an over achiever on our hands. What nights are best for you ? If you tell the other manager the nights you work here, they will work around it, the Renegades run pretty much every business in town "
" Well I have college every Tuesday morning but that's it, most is online. I can work practically every night, except Saturdays, I want one night to myself. Deal ? "
" Deal, what is the other job you're going for ? I can put in a word and give them your hours ? "
" Renegades Mechanics " I smile.
" You work on cars ? "
" Mostly motorcycles but yeah, I know my way around a car " He almost looks impressed.
" Sick, well the guys will be nice to you, don't worry " He picks up his phone and heads to the storage room.
" You're free to head over, they're expecting you "
" Thanks.." I pause not knowing his name.
" Tico " he nods.
I smile and head out of the bar towards my car.
I light up a cigarette before getting out of my car and heading towards the work shop office
taking a few draws to calm my nerves. I squish it under my foot then head into the office.
I'm greeted with an older lady sorting through some files, to busy to notice my appearance.
" Hello, I'm here for a job interview .. I guess " She looks up at me.
" Oh right, the mechanic. You're not what I was expecting. What's a young thing like you doing working on cars ? " She stares at me intensively.
" A pay check is a pay check. Plus I know my way around a vehicle like the back of my hand " I smile, shrugging my shoulders.
" Hmm I see, I hear you are also working 2 jobs at the bar ? " She smiles.
" Yes, I'm assuming Tico gave you my schedule ? I hope it won't interfere with my role here "
" It won't, I like a woman who works hard. If you ever need anything, we are now your family " She smiles.
" Can you start now? We have more then we can chew today with the club out on a trip " She continues.
" Yeah, I have work at 7 though, am I right to leave here around 6 ?"
She doesn't say anything, just nods before handing me a top to change into.
" Thanks, where can I change ? "
" Here or in that room " She points to the door with the words. " Staff only "
I head towards it " Also sweetie, you can smoke in here. You didn't have to put your cigarette out for me " She smiles before I disappear.
I change into my black top with the logo " Renegades Mechanics " when it hits me, this is my Dad's club name. He owns this business.. and the bar.. Do I tell him ? Do I tell the lady at the front desk who I still haven't gotten the name of. I have to say something.
I step out with panic on my face.
" Hey.."
" It's Tara, what's up ? "
" May I ask who runs this club.." worry clear on my tongue
" My husband, Marvin. Why ? "
" Marvin who.." I press.
" Jensen " My heart stops.. It's as if my whole world caved in.
" Indi ? Are you okay ? "
" Tara.. I think he may be my father. "
Her face matches mine at this point, before telling me to sit.
I take the chair opposite hers and start to explain.
" It will be okay.. I know of you. We figured this day would come. how are your parents ? "
" Dad just passed away from cancer, and Mom is fine."
" I'm sorry.. Why did you come here after all these years "
" I only just found out .. Through a letter, my mom suggested I moved here.. How do we tell Marvin ? "
" I will, you go do your shift then we can meet at the club tonight. "
Four hours later and its 6pm, I had worked on two motorcycles and started on a range rover before saying bye to Tara and heading towards my car.
Time to get ready for my first shift at the club... And to face Marvin.
