Novel & Cerita Blinking Check Engine Light And Car Shaking

It was the new car I had just purchased last month for my wife, Joanna Laker, to drive around. The car body was shaking rhythmically and violently. I could vaguely hear the nauseating sounds coming from inside. My nails dug into the car paint. I wanted to smash the car window and drag the adulterous couple out to kill them, but the system's red warning light was flashing wildly. I took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger in my chest. Trembling, I raised my phone. With the help of the dim street lights, I aimed my camera at the car window.

He slid his thumb across the glass, darkening the screen until the cabin went entirely gray again, the only light the faint, yellow wash from the instrument cluster that showed his hands—long-fingered, large-jointed, and completely steady against the wool of his trousers. "The Volvo isn't going to make the Maryland state line before the pre-market call, Hawthorne," Damien whispered. "The water pump has a crack in the seal. It’s leaking coolant into the oil pan. It’s been doing it since the pier." Elias looked down at the temperature gauge. The needle was already leaning toward the red block at the far right of the dial, its small, orange pointer vibrating against the glass peg like a trapped

I don’t see anything, but I can’t shake that feeling. Regardless of what I’m feeling, Kaia needs my help. I get in my car and when I do, I can smell a different scent. Someone has been in my car. I look around the seat, under the steering wheel, the back seat and glove box. Finally, I see a blinking light under the center console, between the seats. It was very faint and if I hadn’t smelled someone in the car, I wouldn’t have known to start looking.

“Hey, do you know the owner of this place? I’m looking to see if they have a part for my car.” I smiled. “Y-your looking at her.” “You?” I nodded. “W-what you looking for?” “I just…was having some issue with a rattling noise when at idle.” Looking over the car, the guy had taken excellent care of her over the years. Even the convertible top looked new. “D-did you check the harmonic balancer? Sometimes they separated. The rubber between the ring and the pulley has dried out.” “I…didn’t think of that. No.” He paused for a moment. “You know your stuff.”

I get on the driver's side and start the engine. It's a mostly silent drive as we head back to Jacksonville. I spend the entire time berating myself for kissing Felicia like that. What happened to my promise to keep my hands to myself? It hasn't even been one day, and already I almost went too far. Damn, Donovan, get it together. We haven't driven that far when my check engine light in my truck comes on, "Shit. Something's wrong. I need to pull off at the next exit and check this out."

The sound was comforting, grounding and the road stretched ahead through rolling green and morning fog ready to take me in and guide me through. The ride was smooth. Slick like I imagined because nothing could go worse. And then, half an hour in of listening to my favorite songs while driving, everything went wrong. It started with the buzz. A strange vibration through the steering wheel. Too rhythmic to be road noise. The smooth road became bumpy causing the wrangler to move in an abnormal manner. I tried to slow down with a frown resting between my brows. “What is going on?” I whispered as the dashboard lights flickered once, twice, and died.

It causes my head to move forward and I immediately put my hands in front of me so that I won't hit the steering wheel. I take a deep breath and slowly I turned my head up to find nothing at all. I feel goosebumps on my skin and my back hair stood up. My car shook as if something or someone is making it move. Then I looked through the rear-view mirror to check and find nothing. My heart keeps on hammering in a quick beat while my wolf Alera keeps on growling through our links. It stops all of a sudden even the rain that was heavily pouring. Shaking away my fear I try to start the ignition but it won't start.

"It's your car." Every muscle in my body went rigid. "What about it?" "I... it's probably nothing," she whispered, voice trembling. "But I saw something under it. I don't know what it is. It looks... wrong." My heart dropped. "What does it look like?" I asked sharply. "Like... a small metal box? With a light. A red blinking light. It's... it's blinking really fast." My blood froze. "Rachael," I said slowly, forcing my voice not to crack, "step away from the car."

I reached out to Elias to come over and keep Lyanna company before I gave her a fast kiss and made my way to work. ​The car was breathtaking. The moment I stepped inside and caught a glimpse of it, I was hooked. It was a brilliant candy-apple red, completely restored, with custom wheels, truly a work of art. The owner mentioned that the engine was consistently misfiring. It seemed like a straightforward issue, with spark plugs or the ignition coil being the most likely culprits. I rolled up my sleeves, hoisted the car onto the lift, and started on it. It served as a perfect distraction while I waited for Atlas to get in touch.
