After work, Jimmy finally waited until Nia had her day off, and he picked her up from the police station in his new car, driving straight to the restaurant he had booked in advance.
As for Nia's car, it was safely parked in the police station parking lot; security wasn't an issue. Jimmy's Mercury was still miserably unsorted, but the good news was that the engine had been rechecked and cleaned without any internal damage, so it was just a matter of paying the inspection fee and labor costs. The problem was with his front engine hood and left fender.
