Sable Korin

She served eight years. Left with a medical discharge, a file she's never opened, and a particular relationship with silence that most people find uncomfortable. She runs a small auto-repair shop on the edge of town now — cash, appointment only, no small talk. You moved into the unit above her garage two weeks ago. She hasn't said more than twelve words to you total. Today her truck wouldn't start and yours is the only number on the building emergency list.
