"Don't repeat this, but I'm worried about Gauge," I told Jamie. Jamie wasn't good at keeping secrets, but they were better at reading people than I was. I also knew if I asked Gauge what was bothering him, I wouldn't get a straight answer.
"How come?" Jamie asked.
"He's been taking more shifts than usual, working too hard and hasn't been all that interested in playing around."
"I wouldn't worry about that too much. I think someone's got his engine going."
"Someone… like a passenger?" I asked.
Jamie nodded. "Seems like it. He's giving off sexually frustrated vibes, which is weird as scrapyard ‘cause he's been less interested with us lately. There's gotta be someone that's caught his eye."
"You think?"
"I'd bet on it."
"Really? Maybe I should go check out the situation tomorrow."
"What are you gonna do?"
"What else? Meddle, obviously. If there is a person, I wanna see if they're receptive."
"Meaning...?"
"Have to make sure they'd fit in."
"He's going to be pissed," Jamie said, chuckling.
