Chapter 1
Editor's note: a combination of the fast & the furious, Tokyo drift and 2Fast 2Furious.
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. For those ten seconds or less I'm free." Dom's voice rang in my head. "You Bastard!" Mai tried to throw a punch at me. Why? For being a cop. We were sitting on top of her car and cuddling. "I don't want to loose you plus you're the first boyfriend Dom has given his approval on." "Well then let's keep it that way." I replied. "Let's." "Look I know someone in Tokyo who can hook you too losers up." Tej told me. "Hook us up?" I asked him. "Hook you up in the money hook you up big time." Tej said. "It's not criminal – "Brian Brian let the man speak I was going to take my time and go for some Jamaican pussy but I'll hear the man out." Roman said standing next to me. "Well I don't know." I said slowly. "You keep racing in America you keep shutting all of us down weren't you planning on going somewhere?" Tej asked me. "Shit I'd go if I could leave this hell hole. But I didn't steal money from a drug lord and technically the FBI." Sukie interrupted. I laughed. "That's my boy." "Come on man DK will have one of his men introduce himself to you." "DK?" I asked puzzled. "Drift King." Mai walked up to me. "Don't do it B-." I woke up with sweat all over my face.
"Yo Brian you all right?" Roman had remove his headphones. "I'm fine man just a bad dream that's all man." "You thinking about her again?" Roman asked. "Thinking about them again." "No contact numbers man?" Roman asked. "Dom changed his cell and Mai changed hers." I said bitterly. "Okay man cool it relax we'll get settled into Tokyo once we get vacation time I'll show you Jamaica man." "What is your obsession with Jamaica?" I asked him. "Beautiful beeches and beautiful girls." "Mai was a beautiful girl." "So was Monica." "And your point being?" "We will be landing in Tokyo shortly please fasten your seatbelt." The stewardess said something else but I ignored her. "Thank God maybe now you'll relax!" Roman said rolling his eyes. I ignored him and stared out at Japan and well mostly Tokyo.
We made it through security. Despite it being five in the morning the airport was still crowded. I pulled Roman into a coffee shop. "What man?" We still each had our carry on bags well back packs more like. I kept an extremely careful eye on mine. Roman had his hands clutched around his. I ordered a cup of coffee and a grilled cheese sandwich. Yes they had American food there I just wasn't willing to try new things. I was trying to shove memories of Mai and Dom some of Monica and Agent Bilkins out of my head.
Roman hired the Taxi while I carried our luggage. Mine and his. Traffic was heavy. "Man I can't believe we're doing this man this is cool." "Mmm." I said. "Will you say more than one word to me Brian? Maybe I should tell DK not to use you. We've got a meeting with him tomorrow and you need to be able to say more then mmm or he'll think your some pussy whipped cop." "Yeah okay there full sentence happy." "Much better." I hauled our stuff into the back of the cab. The driver decided to help me. We climbed in. The first two nights we would be staying in a hotel. After that we would be living if all went well in buildings owned by DK's father.
Roman took his bag up to the Hotel room. It was a suite it wasn't bad for something we didn't have to pay for. DK's uncle ran the business and had been very generous. I was trying to unpack when Roman grabbed me and shoved me into the wall. "You will not be depressed because depressed people I will not hang out with. Quit kicking a dead horse B. Now come on get your swim trunks lets go this hotel had a pool." "But – "Get your swim trunks." Roman barked. "Okay okay." I did. Ten minutes later I followed him down the stairs. Maybe he had a point.
