As Leonie sat in her sociology lecture she was thinking about her upcoming project that they all had to do. It would be 60% of the final mark for her degree.
She had no idea on what to do it on. She wanted to study a deviant sub- culture but what? They had a year to study whatever topic they wanted and come up with a thesis.
Damn, this would be hard. Firstly she had no spare money to spend on her research. She was only getting enough money to live on as it was, with her part-time job at a local bar.
Sighing she looked around. Everyone was packing up, time to go. She lent down and picked up her backpack, stuffing her notes inside, she got up and walked out of the big lecture hall.
She looked at her watch 4.15, she had enough time to stop off and see her brother at his garage before she had to go to work.
Catching the bus up to his work she was there in 15 minutes.
"Hey Mickie" she spotted a pair off legs sticking out from under a car. Walking up she nudged him with toe of her boot.
"Hey sis, wait a mo' will you?" His muffled voice came out.
"For you Mickie I'd wait a thousand years"
They had a close relationship ever since Leonie had moved up to La from Florida to go to Uni. She had lived with her mother and stepfather and he had lived with their father. Their parents had split up when they were young.
Walking over to a car that was currently being worked on she peered into the open bonnet at the engine. Mickie slid out from under the other car and joined her.
"Hey gorgeous, what'cha want?" he kissed her cheek. Oil was smudged on his face and his blond hair was tussled up. He looked adorable.
"Nothing had some spare time, so I'd thought I'd come down and see you. Whose is this car?" she asked pointing to the car she had been admiring.
"You like it? Picked it cheap at the car sales. Going to do it up for me to use. 1992 Nissan 300ZX. Some rich mans toy but it got in a crash and he decided to sell it." It had obviously been hit, the side door and wing where bent in, running its otherwise sleek lines.
"Engine ok?" She asked him, Leonie loved nothing more than tinkering with cars, though her speciality was re-spraying them. She could mix colours that would come out in the most amazing shades. Back in Florida she had re-sprayed a couple of cars that were hot, for a few friends but that was in her past.
"Yeah perfect, 3.0 Liter V6 Engine but I'm going to add in some Sway Bars, Adjustable Tension Rods, Rear Camber Kit, to name a few things that'll make it even faster, at least it'll give it better suspension. Can you re-spray it me when I'm done?" At the moment it was silver nice enough but boring.
"Sure, what colour?"
"Black with a red phoenix merged into it. The body of the bird on the hood and flames coming down the side."
"Cool, love to" Her mind was already putting together a design, visualising the finished product.
They talked for a while longer; Leonie looked up at the clock on the wall and moaned.
"Time to go, you couldn't possibly give me a lift could you? Please" she smiled at him, and when Leonie smiled snow melted.
"I knew this wasn't just a social call" he joked. "Joe, I'm going out for while." He called out to an old man in the back. He picked up some keys from a desk and walked over to a pick up truck.
"Get in"
Leonie climbed into the passenger side and they went off. They rode in silence till he pulled up outside the bar.
"You need a lift home later" he offered.
"Nah, Carolyn will give me a lift. Thanks anyway bro" she got out of the car and blew him a kiss. Going in through the back way she said hi to a couple of other bar staff.
Man Friday night, it was going to be busy.
It was one o'clock by the time her and Carolyn were finished. The next shift come on allowing them to go home.
Driving along they suddenly came across a roadblock. Instead of the police though it was done by cars that looked mouth-wateringly sexy, to Leonie at least.
Carolyn lent out of the window and shouted to one of the cars.
"Hey what's going on here?"
"Roads closed darlin' find another way home"
Leonie looked up. There were masses of people lining the streets. She got out of the car and walked up the guy that had shouted to them.
"What is this?" She asked him, he was really quite attractive in a rough, unshaven sort of way.
"Road race" he answered her back.
"Does this happen often?" she battered her eyelashes at him, and smiled coyly.
"Yeah ever night. Different places though as the cops try to spoil our fun, so we always have to be on the run"
Ideas were forming in Leonie's head. If the cops were after them, they were deviants and if they had it all organised like this, they obviously had some sort of subculture.
Leonie smiled, she had just found what to do her project on.
"Hi my names Leonie" she stuck her hand into the window of his car, the guy smiled and shook it.
"Leon" Leonie laughed, "well hello name twin. This is a very nice car you have here." She ran her eyes over the Canary Yellow Nissan Skyline.
"Yeah I know..." he suddenly picked up his walkie-talkie and shouted "We got cops man" Leonie looked around, people where running in all different directions to there cars.
"You want a lift?" Leon offered, revving his car up. Leonie made a split second decision. "Carolyn I'll see you later" she ran round to the passenger side of the car and jumped in.
Leon spun round and rove off, it had been less than five seconds since he had yelled cops and already they were loads of cop cars coming in from every direction. As Leon pushed the car to even more speed, Leonie was amazed. Why have I not found out about this before? She asked herself. A speed freak herself,she was loving every moment of the ride.
When they could here or see no more cop cars Leon slowed down, Leonie smiled and looked over at him. He really was the most delicious piece of flesh she had seen in a while.
"Where are we going?" she asked him.
"A party, darlin'" he answered and flashed a smile over at her.
Looking down at her clothes she cursed, she was so not dressed for a party. She was wearing a russet coloured calf length skirt, with knee high boots and a black top. It was ok but if she had the choice she would change into something more revealing.
"So do you race?" she asked him.
"Nah, I scan the radio waves to make sure the coast is clear. I'm as Sas calls me, the Watchdog" he chuckled to himself. Leonie felt her hopes sink, this Sas was probably his girlfriend and having been cheated on herself did not want to do it to anyone else.
"I've just moved up here, so I had no idea that these where held." She confessed to him.
"Really? Where'd you move from?" Leon asked her.
"Florida, I've come up here to go to Uni. So what's your day job?" she asked him, trying to get some groundwork.
"Why do you want to know?" he suddenly got all-defensive.
"Just curious. Sorry." She shot him a hurt look. Looks like it would be harder to break into the scene than she first thought.
* * * * * * * *
Leon shot a look over at the girl sat next to him. She really was nice looking, with auburn hair curling down her back and amber eyes. She reminded him of a cat, an amber cat.
Right now she was looking a little put out, Leon regretted snapping at her but after the whole Brian incident the whole team was weary about new people asking questions about them. He didn't know what made him invite her to Dom's but she looked like a girl who knew how to have fun.
"So what do you do at Uni?" he asked her trying to make conversation.
"Sociology and Criminology Joint honours" she said stiffly. Leon let out a whistle between his teeth.
"I dropped out of school at the first opportunity I could" he told her.
"Really? Why?" she sounded interested.
"Cos' I didn't get on well with the whole educational system, and I wanted to work on cars anyway" Leon was surprised at have he loosened up and was able to talk about his past.
"This Skylines a nice car, my bro working on a 300ZX at the moment. After he's worked his magic under the hood I get to work mine on top." Leon's interest was caught.
"So you like cars then?" he asked her.
"Of course, I mean I couldn't modify a car like you have here, but know how to fix most broken parts. What I love most though is painting them, I mean stickers are nice an all but they don't compare to a good quality paint job. I don't mean to course offence or anything, yours look good for stickers." She flashed him a smile and Leon laughed.
"We'll have to see if your good enough then, if you are we can see about letting you loose on my baby" he stroked the steering wheel and purred, Leonie laughed.
"Oh, its rude to turn up at a party without drink, could we please go to a off-license?" She pleaded with him.
Leon shook his head and laughed, "We got Corona darlin', don't need nothing more than that. And we got it by the crate full" Pulling onto the road where the team lived he pulled up outside a house that had loads of cars pulled up outside. Leon used to seeing them on a daily basis just ignored them but her heard Leonie gasp. Looking round he saw her jumping out of the car and running over to the nearest one.
"Oh my God, it's a Toyota Supra Turbo!!! 13.7 seconds to do ¼ mile. Man look at the sleek lines. Oooooooo, a Mustang Cobra! Leon I've died and gone to car heaven!" Leon just leant against his car as he watched her run from car to car commenting on them. She looked like a kid in a candy store.
"Come on, you can drool later, first we need to get beer" he went over to her and grabbed her hand, leading her up the driveway and into the front door of the house.
