Today

"They're after you, I know you're innocent but it's going to take me time to clear your name. You catch Chase and you've got a chance to prove your innocence." Lieutenant Keller spoke with absolute clarity over the phone; it was almost like a normal conversation. Seth's reply on the other hand;

"That's easier said than fucking done!" He shouted out whilst handbrake turning the black Lexus IS-F he'd stolen. The lieutenant ended the call and must have set to work on his end, whilst Seth continued with his; getting away from the cops who thought he was a murderer. Every cop within a seven mile radius had been drafted in ranging from the civies to the Feds, which wasn't exactly ideal.

The Lexus danced its way around the cops; even using the SWAT teams ramming technique to his advantage. The 4x4's would ram the back or front of the car causing the car to spin around to face another direction. It was beginning to get desperate for the cops as nothing was going to stop Seth, nothing.

Seth eventually found his way from the harbour onto the interstate. Now normally this would be the dimmest trick to do, but for Seth it was perfect. He could nail the accelerator to floor and be gone. Even the State GT-R's and Federal 911 Turbo's didn't have a hope in hell. Seth turned the steering wheel left to right and right to left, weaving between other cars in what looked like one fluid motion from above.

And then the best bit of news came over the Police Scanner;

"Be advised, we only got a couple of miles before we gotta switch to our reserve fuel tanks," The helicopter shadowing him overhead wasn't going to be doing so for much longer. For Seth this was perfect, he'd lose the Feds in no time at all now. And then finally the chopper banked away from the chase. Nitrous Oxide beckoned.

Thirty minutes after Seth had just witnessed the demise of the Chinese gang leader Chau Wu, right in front of him, he had escaped the wrath of America's supposed finest. After what Chase had said in the harbour warehouse, Seth had begun to question whether it was right for him to work in peace keeping if this is what it meant; being betrayed by the bitch who was supposed to be protecting the western world.

Seth had abandoned the Lexus up in the mountains looking over the city that he thought he was supposed to be helping. Then a thought crossed his mind; 'How the hell am I supposed to leave here if everyone thinks I'm a fucking killer?' Just as Seth thought this, he saw a black Nissan GT-R racing in toward him.

As the Japanese supercar came ever closer he began to make out the details of the car; wide boy body-kit, green racing stripe, matt black paint. Seth could only think of one person; Timothy 'Furious T' Valencia, aka one of the only people he could trust at the moment.

"Yo Seth, what the hell's all this over the scanners saying that you're a clipper?" Furious asked him as the Spanish American emerged from his car. Then two more people emerged; Carmen Mendez and Charlize 'C-Rich' Jones. Carmen was a street racer that Seth met early in the operation and Charlize not that much long after.

"Thank goodness you're OK Seth." Carmen let out as she saw Seth. Charlize seemed just as, if not more relieved to see Seth.

"For fuck sake I didn't clip anyone. Some federal bitch set me up and now everyone wants my head. But more importantly why are you guys here? If the cops see you with me they'll send you down with me."

"OK brother, but if there's anything you need, just let us know." Charlize said. Seth could see that she was trying to cover up her emotions. It didn't take a spy trained to read emotions to work that out.

"Actually, there is one thing."

Seth had asked if the three racers could get him back to his safe house just outside the city. Now that he was back to the closest thing he could call home, he devised a plan to blow this whole operation out of the water. And he had just the right car to do it in.

Right hate to break it to you guys but I'm not going to do a chapter that shows the chase between Seth and Chase, as there would be a spoiler in it if I did write it, sorry. Anyway this is the first and last chapter that's based entirely in the US.

But until next time; cya ;)
