"You fucking piece of shit!" Kurdy kicked the cab door hard enough to dent metal. "I told Marcus this was gonna happen, but does he listen to me? Nooooo! The truck'll be fine for one more run, he says. It passed the last inspection, he says. NOW look at us! Stranded in the middle of fucking nowhere with a dead ignition switch."
Mister Smith reached into his knapsack and solemnly retrieved a small piece of metal. "One of these?"
Kurdy's mouth dropped open. "How did you know--? Wait! Never mind. Don't tell me." He snatched the part from Smith's hand.
