A/N: I originally posted this in the games category under 'Need for Speed' But have now moved it here since it is about the movie characters and not the ones from any of the games. Please r and r, I would love to know what you guys think and if I should continue.
Disclaimer: I do not own Need For Speed or any of its characters. But I do own any original characters and the plot.
Chapter one.
"Can I help you?" a feminine voice with a British accent asks and I turn round to see who is speaking. A young blonde woman just a few years older than me is standing just a couple of feet away looking at me inquiringly.
"I don't….i think I might have the wrong place." I say. "I'm looking for someone, and I thought this was his place but….i must have got the address wrong."
"Who are you looking for? I know most of the locals." she says.
"Tobey Marshall. Do you know him?" I ask.
"Why are you looking for him? Who are you? What do you want?" she asks sounding suspicious.
"So you do know him?" I ask. "Can you tell me where I can find him? I need to talk to him."
"Not until you tell me who you are." she says.
"I'm…." I begin but am cut off by a yell from behind me.
"Katia Marshall is that you!" a familiar voice demands seconds before I am almost crushed from behind in a hug.
"How am I supposed to answer when you're crushing the life out of me?" I ask with mock annoyance in my tone.
"Sorry." the voice says and I am released from the hug.
I turn around and smile up at the guy looking down at me. "I see Tobey's still employing scruffy, tooth-pick chewing gear heads. It's nice to know nothing's changed in the last three years." I say.
"Well scruffy gear heads make the best mechanics, you know that." he says. "Especially ones who chew on tooth-picks." he says.
"You always were full of yourself Beast." I say rolling my eyes. I look around at the familiar garage drinking in everything, the TV screen and gaming consoles on one side, and the car lifts, spanners, wrenches, oil, and other equipment on the other. "I see the place hasn't changed much either, it still looks the same as it always did."
"I'm sorry to break up this little reunion or whatever it is that's going on here but can someone explain to me what the hell is going on here?" the British woman says joining us.
"Oh sorry, I'm Katia Marshall." I say smiling and extending my hand to her.
"Yeah I heard that, but I still don't know who you are, and what you're doing here." she says not taking my hand.
"Where do you get off talking to me like that huh? Who the hell are you? I'm trying to be polite here and you're talking down to me like I'm some lowlife." I say unable to keep the hostile tone from my voice.
"Woah Kat chill out ok? She's just looking out for him ok?" Joe says coming to stand in front of me and blocking me from getting to her.
"Who the hell is she too look out for him?" I demand glaring over his shoulder at her.
"I'm Julia." she says.
"Julia? Julia Maddon?" I ask. "you used to work for Bill Ingram right? Scouting cars and negotiating deals?"
"Yeah…but how do you know that?" she asks a slight frown on her face.
"Tobey's told me so much about you. It's so great to finally meet you in person." I say relaxing my stance and smiling tentatively at her.
"Umm….it's good to meet you too?" she says still looking confused.
"She's his sister." Joe explains.
