A Break for Once [Timmir]

Jimmy stood up along with the others. "If you really want us to, but may I ask why you want us to split up when we get there?" Jimmy asked curiously as both him and Shin followed the others out the restaurant. They then began their walk over to the mall.

"I guess that makes some sense." Jimmy said with a shrug. He wasn't exactly sure it would help them out in this situation, but why not try it out.

"Well since that's been decided. How about me and Jimmy go check in at the dealership while you check with Andromon at the App store? We contact each other if we have any luck, okay?" Shin advised as they neared the mall.

"That sounds good to me." Jimmy agreed as he started to figure out how to convince the Mekanorimon to help them. He was never really good at this sort of thing, but he was going to have to try his best.

Jimmy and Shin headed straight towards the dealership when they had split off from Nova and Co. In all honesty, Jimmy had really ever headed this direction in the mall before. Maybe once or twice to check things out when he first arrived in the Digital World. That was mostly for the fact that he never really had to before. So this was gonna be a new experience for the young spirit wielder.

"Hello? Is anybody in here?" He asked as he entered Cait's Dealership, surprised to see that it was mostly abandoned. Then all of a sudden a Mekanorimon popped out from one of the side rooms and zoomed right towards the two companions. Fearing that he was about to back off, but fortunately, the Mekanorimon stopped suddenly right in front of them.

"Welcome! I'm Cait, and welcome to my dealership. I promise you, you're not leaving without..." Cait began to say before a loud banging sound came from within the Mekanorimon, "Oww... Just great. The darn opening mechanism is busted again. Uhh... Just wait one second." Jimmy just watched in awe as he heard construction noises within the Mekanorimon. The next thing he knew, the blue top of the Robot suit opened to reveal a red Tailmon inside. "Sorry about that. Now what can I do for you?"

"Wait. There was a Tailmon in there." Jimmy said surprised.

"I thought you knew. Mekanorimon aren't normally sentient. Instead they usually have some type of digimon driving them from inside." Shin explained.

"Well this is news to me."

"So gentlemen. What type of wheels can I get for you?" Cait said as he interrupted their conversation.

"Oh yeah. Umm... We aren't exactly here to buy a vehicle."

"Ohh..." Cait said disappointedly, "So what are you here for. Just browsing?"

"We have a friend whose in trouble and we were hoping you would be able to give him a charge."

"Is that so? Hmm..." Cait went quiet for a second as he determine whether or not to help them, "Well I do have the Mekanorimon charging station in the back that may be able to help him. However I can't exactly let you use it for free. Electricity does cost money after all."

"We'll give you 100 bits per a minute of use." Shin interjected

"200"

"125"

"150"

"135. Final offer."

Cait paused for a second in debate. "You have yourself a deal."

As if on cue, Jimmy felt his D-tector vibrate to tell him that he has a new email. It seemed that weren't able to strike a deal with the Andromon. Good thing Cait seemed more willing.

The Tailmon carefully looked over Sparks as he enter the store, sizing the kid. Judging from his request and the condition that his partner was in, Cait figured this must be the kid the other one was talking about. "Alright then. I assume that the kid had already told you about the deal we struck. So follow me." He said as he led the others to a backroom door.

Cait opened the door to reveal an office looking room. There was a desk with a computer and various of papers on it, a chair, a waste bucket, and in the far corner of the room, a strange black looking mat large enough to place Mekanorimon on it. "Just place him on the mat. I'll have it started up here soon." Cait said as he got out of his Mekanorimon and went over to the computer, "To be honest, your all in luck. This past week I have been having some trouble with this these past few weeks. Some type of glitch or something. Fortunately a couple days ago, an middle age looking man came in and help me out with it. Now that I think about it, he mentioned something about looking for his son. I can't remember what he said his name was though. Uhh... Oh well." Cait shrugged it off, "Shall we get started."

Jimmy didn't give what Cait just said much thought, but there was still a glimmer of hope that it was who he thought it was. He knew it was highly unlikely. People get lost in the digital world all the time. And why would he even be looking for him. It was just Jimmy's wishful thinking and nothing else.

"Well you never know Nova. It could have been him." Jimmy replied as Nova dismissed the chance that it was his father that was here earlier. He had to admit that he was a bit surprise to hear that Nova's dad had disappeared 8 years ago. It reminded him of his mother who had disappeared when he was young. He never really knew what actually happened to her. He hoped she was alright.

"If it's any help. I'm pretty sure the kids name wasn't something as bizarre as yours. I remember it being alot more plain." Cait told Nova before turning back towards his computer, "Anyways let's get back to business. Here's one charge job coming right up. Stand back. Don't want to get yourselves hurt." He typed a few commands into the computer, which activated the mechanism that Sparks was on. Electricity began to arc all around Sparks, charging him in the process. "Just tell when to stop." Cait called out as he focus on the monitor.

((A minor note. Cait is a guy.))

Cait turned the machine off as Nova asked him to. He was a bit disappointed it ended so quickly. He was really hoping that it would take at least 5 minutes before he had to shut it off. Yet that was sadly not the case.

"I'm glad to be of service." Cait said as he took the cash from Nova, "Now perhaps I can convince you to get a vehicle as well before you leave. You know it'll make it easier for you to travel wherever you are heading and they are cheaper then ever before." Cait offered them, wanting to see if he can make a bit more bits from his customers.

Jimmy looked over at Nova and the others before returning his attention back to Cait. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid neither of us can afford anything like that. Thanks for your help though."

"Well I sure hope you do. I'll make sure to get you the deal of your life." Cait offered, trying his best to ensure that Nova will return.

"Jimmy, Nova, everyone else. I think it's time for us to start leaving." Shin said as he motioned for the group to follow him out of the store. He knew full well the type of salesmen that Cait was, and didn't want to end up getting anyone in his group tied up in Cait's claws.

As the group left, Cait just stood their as the cogs in his mind began working again. "Jimmy... Jimmy... Why does that sound familiar?" He said to himself as he tapped his foot impatiently. To bad the group would have already left by time he remembered.

Once the group had left the store, Jimmy turned to look over at Sparks. "Are you feeling alright? Nothing odd at all?" Jimmy asked slightly worried. How exactly is the Hylden going to effect Sparks.
