The rumble was apparently enough to satisfy her, because Mikaela leaves with a faint smile on her lips.
Then, the only thing left to do is wait.
Getting through a shift knowing what is waiting for her after is torture, of course. But she is high enough up on the retail food chain to stick the new kids on the registers while she preps the garage between waves of customers. It's not the best maintained place in the world - they don't even have a regular, full time mechanic, as Mikaela herself pulled double duty with both cashiering and running the oil changes that trickled in.
But it has a lift, and blinds for the bay windows, and a easily-disabled security camera. It will do.
She gives Optimus a text near closing, once she's shooed everyone else out for the night - and secured a copy of the manager's keys.
