Oh, no! Denzel thought. Where’d THAT come from?
was looking at a big red dry stain
was on the carport where he always parked
car.
There was only one thing to do:
his power steering fluid and his transmission fluid,
of which were red. The power steering fluid
at the proper level, so that left the
fluid. A small leak could result in a
transmission, which could cost $1,000 to $2,000 to
or replace. Denzel did not have $1,000 or
,000.
Denzel was not sure about how to check
transmission fluid level. But he found the instructions
his car manual. They were not complicated.
He
his engine for about 15 minutes to get
up to normal operating temperature. Next, he shifted
transmission through all the gears, and then let
car idle for three minutes in Park. Then
pulled out the dipstick. The fluid was at
correct level. Denzel breathed a sigh of relief.
he drove off in his car, he wondered
he would ever find out the cause of
stain. Or would it be one of those

between us. Then, wham, out of nowhere, you

said. What does THAT mean?”
“It’s a long

“Go ahead,” he said. “I’ve got
of time.”
“I’ve got to go,” she said.
“
!” Denzel muttered as the phone went dead.
