Shego looked at Ron with utter disbelive before bursting into laughter "You Stoppable?" she said wiping tears from her eyes "can you even drive, or are you going to race me on that stupid little scooter of yours?" meanwhile Ron still fuming had been led back to his car by Kim. "Ron you can't do this race, your not thinking straight" Kim said as Ron reached for the car door.
She had seen Ron like this only once before and that time he had almost lost his badge, She had gone to meet him after work finished so they could catch a movie and Ron had been escorting a handcuffed man from a holding cell to an interogation room. He had the exact same look then as he did now, he had bailed on the movie but Kim had later learned from one of his work friends that the handcuffed man was a rapist who after reachng the interogation roon had started to tell Ron about one of his victims in intimate detail during the interogation and Ron had lashed out almost physicaly abusing the man. Ron had never spoken on the incident and Kim wasn't about to confRont him on it either.
"kp this race is happening now more then ever" He said in a flat tone before looking at wade and getting the nod that everything was ready, the roads had been blocked off so there wouldn't be any traffic in the way and the spectators had been moved to the side of the road. As Ron started the car the crowd parted and he flashed a grin at his team "Don't worry the Ron factor has this under control" With that he wound up the window and moved slowly to the starting line.
Sitting in her car Shego turned the key and listened as the engine turned over with no hesitation, Reving the car slightly she pushed the gear stick into first and waited for her opponent to pull up beside her. Hearing the purr of the well tuned engine she looked over and spotted the airbrushing of the 180sx's bonnet roll up next to her. A young man in his early 20 approched both drivers to collect their money before stepping out in fRont of their cars "The race is a down hill event, intentional collision with your oppenents car or flashing of your highbeams will cause you to be disqualified" he looked at both drivers for confirmation "alright then on my count 3" shego started reving her engine more causing the blow off valve to hiss "2" Ron tapped the touchscreen of his car pc and brought up the diagnostic program "1" the young man raised his arm above his head "GO" he yelled lowering his arm.
Shego planted her foot on the accelerator releasing the clutch and took off with a slight spin of the wheels, Ron took off more sedatly comparitivly. This was his home run and he knew it like hte back of his hand, the first 3 corners all came within 100 meters of the start line with the last one being a tight left hairpin. Coming up to speed he slipped the gear shift into second and started to gain on the green skyline as she slowed down at reaching the first corner. Pushing her car into a slight drift around the corner shego straigtened up before almost straight away being confRonted by a right hand corner, spinning her wheel back the other way she over compensated and lost some speed trying to keep control all the while seeing Rons headlights grow more and more in her rear view mirror. Sliding back onto line she hammered her way around the hairpin with a practiced ease that she doubt stoppable could ever hope to match. Looking in her rearview she expected to see Rons 180 head over the edge of the cliff but was shocked to see it pull around the corner in an even tighter drift then the one she pulled off and start to quickly gain on her car.
Back at the top of the mountain a pair of eyes stared out from the darkened interior of a dark purple mitsubishi GTO at the beguinning of the race, Starting the engine caused everyone to look at what was supposedly an empty car. Spinning the car around the driver made off after the 2 racers with a determined look in their eye's.
Shego was having a hard time losing Ron he matched her every drift, she was starting to get the feeling she was being played with. The last 6 corners had been relativly easy though so she wasn't sure, the next 4 however were hairpins one after another and this is where she thought she would find out. Sliding around the first corner she watched as Rons car mimiced her slide exactly before closing another couple of meters over the short straight before the next hairpin.
Ron knew it was time to stop playing with shego and as she went around the next hairpin he reached over and turned off his headlights and followed her, this was the place to take the lead and let he see the racer she had created. Watching from only 3 meters behind her as her tail lights disappeared around the next hairpin Ron grinned and relaxed off the accelerator a bit to slide into the corner and end up facing the edge of the small drop off before once again powering down on the accelerator and launching himself over the drop off onto the straight below before reaching over and turning his lights back on.
Shego was amazed how had he gotten in fRont of her, there was no way he passed her but more so there was no way she was going to lose this race, pressing the button to wind down her window she stuck her arm out the window and lit up her hand in green plasma. Taking aim at the back of Rons car she never noticed the GTO pulling around the last hairpin behind her.
Seeing the green plasma ball building in shegos hand the driver of the gto pulled along side quickly and tapped the sides of the cars together causing shego to jump and release the plasma ball into the air where it sailed up before heading down towards the finishing line and the edges of the pool of petrol that had been left behind before.
Seeing Ron pull away the driver of the gto pushed their car harder to leave shego behind them to regain control of her car. giving their lights a flash the GTO pulled past Ron and headed towards the finishing line leaving the man in a daze and wondering just where the car came from. Thats when he noticed the flames at the finishing line, All but standing on the accelerator he hammered towards the flames and out the other side with only a slight smoldering coming from his wheels.
Sliding the car to a stop at the finishing line shego flung open her car door and headed towards Rons car "Your disqualified stoppable, that bastad in the the gto hit me" Winding down the window a little Ron looked out of the gap "Keep the money shego I don't care all i care about is that this isn't over, we will be racing again." With that he wound up the window and headed out of the area before his team or anyone else could show up.
The next morning found Ron on his was to work in his beat up old ford falcon, pulling into his parking spot at roma street police HQ he grabbed his briefcase off the passanger seat and headed inside flashing his badge and ID to the guard on the way in. Dropping his briefcase on his desk in the squad room he headed towards the small kitchenette and made a pot of coffe and got himself a cup. With that out of the way he started his morning routine of checking active cases and details for any upcoming operations that day. Finding neither he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a moment. Only a few minutes had passed when he heard several voices coming from the locker and kitchenette area "Ahhh danm stoppable made the coffee again." Sitting up he turned to see constables eddie davies and lance origin heading his way with firm grimiaces set in place "Hey Ron want to come over and help me clean the grime off my roof this weekend, we could use your coffee it would be the cleanest the roof has ever been" Eddie said. It was the standard joke that was made when ever Ron made the coffee in the mornings and by now Ron had learned to ignore it. Lance however looked around making sure the coast was clear before leaning over and whispered to Ron "I hear nebo had some activity out there last night, there didn't happen to be a certain black 180 out there was there?" Ron shook his head and looked innocent "Don't know what your talking about man, I was at home watching clerks." The fact Ron raced was well known among the lower ranks of the SRT department but cops looked after their own and they weren't in the habit of busting one of their best officers so it was kept on the down low from the higher ups. Lance looked sceptical "Yeah whatever man look you know we think you should quit while your ahead, one hoon squad bust and there goes your badge." Ron just shook his head and stood up heading to his locker to check over his gear.
Just after lunch Ron was sitting at his desk going over the files for queenslands ten most wanted and checking up on leads when he was called for over the internal speakers to goto the lobby. Standing up he handed the files to eddie and headed for the elevator. Kim should still be at the shop and if it was something internal they would have just called him on the phone, Stepping out of the elevator he headed for the reception desk staffed by a pretty young blond who Ron had gotten friendly with since she started. she smiled at him and pointed to the far end of the room, turning around he saw the one person at the end and headed towards what was obviously a female from the miniskit and top "I am senior constable Ron stoppable you asked for me?" Ron said to the woman as he approched. Putting down the magazine she was reading the woman looked up and smiled "Hey Ron long time no see" Monique said.
Authors Notes I don't know if this chapter is shorter longer or the same as the first chapter, but to me it seemed a bit rushed along and i may do a rewrite on it after i wake up today, i finished this at just before 3am in the morning after already being at work since 7 and my brain just couldn't see anything wRong with it. Like i said in the last chapter flame me praise me or offer constructive critasizm all well be taken on board. hope to have the next chapter done by monday my time (sunday in the us) just a couple of things tho The SRT is Special Responce Team queensland police swat for lack of a better example except more specilised, unlike US teams they only handle things along the lines of hostage situations or high risk busts, i have modified their set up a bit here to make it easier to write but when an officer is not activly doing a operation with SRT they are standard police officers handleing all sorts of different things. The hoon squad is the street slang for the police's hooning task force, they have been known to use alot of underhanded tactics like useing undercover cars (specificaly high performance cars) to try to goad people into racing them then pulling them over. I nicked some elements from inital d eps too. So please R and R and i hope you are all enjoying this so far.
