He glanced at me as he straightened up. “Your car’s dead, all right,” he said. “And it won’t be working any time soon. If I didn’t know any better, I would say it was sabotaged.”
“That’s impossible,” I said. “It never left my parents’ garage. We have a lot of security so even if someone wanted to sabotage it, they would never be able to get in.” I should know how tight the security was.

A shiver ran down my spine as I realized how true that was. “Okay,” I said. “I would love it if you could drive me to the nearest gas station. Thank you. I’m Addie, by the way.”
“Luke.” He held out his helmet to me. “Put this on. It’ll keep you safe.
