CHAPTER 2
Mina Solo boarded the plane for Japan with excitement and apprehension.
"Take care of yourself So," Dom called
"Don't worry about me," she called back "Just take care of that car,"
With that she boarded the plane and got comfortable, she just hoped that everything was ok. The moment she heard Yakuza's name being mentioned amongst the racing circuit she knew there was trouble and Han, Takashi or Neela would probably be the cause of it, ever since she left Japan she had made sure she still kept an eye on the Yakuza as well as the reigning drift king. She knew that the Yakuza would leave her well enough alone while she there she had won her freedom fair and square by racing down the mountain, the Yakuza may be cruel gangsters but they were honourable and kept their word. Solo tried to keep herself calm by thinking of the business and the garage she about to start up, an Aunt of one of Dominic's friends was selling her tea house and Solo had been the first to buy it and with the help of Neela in Japan she had people ready to help her run the place when she got there. Neela was also her personal spy, Solo was surprised to hear that Han had given a new kid the keys to the Mona Lisa and had let the kid drift against Takashi with it.
As the plane came in to land Solo began to wish she was back in China tuning and designing cars and watching Dom race them, she had amassed a rep of her own around China and Korea for being a top car designer Dom was beginning to get one for his racing skills. Once upon a time Solo loved racing but after her race for her freedom she only now and again got behind the wheel and proved that although she was a designer and a woman she was still the Drift Queen. The tea house was more like an old fashioned house with a courtyard, Solo smiled she was going to like being home again.
"Nice to meet you Mina san," an elderly woman greeted
Solo bowed and took off her shoes.
"This place will be well cared for," she promised
The woman raised her hand to silence her.
"I know that the spirits are happy with you taking over," she said "I was about to raise the issue of the garage?"
"I see," she said
"You're garage is in the centre of Tokyo," the woman said "I hope you have everything you need and that everything is sufficient Mina san,"
"I trust your judgement," Solo answered "The business is ready to open tomorrow I hope?"
The woman nodded.
"I hope you enjoy your retirement," Solo said
The two women smiled and drank their tea after seeing her new business Solo went into the centre of Tokyo and found the garage. She raised the metal barriers and walked into the wide spacious area, she ran her eyes over the hydraulic lifts and various bits of equipment then she came to four cars that were covered in sheets.
"These better be good cars Neels," she muttered pulling back a silver sheet
The sight made her grin.
"Knew you wouldn't let me down,"
She heard the sound of a phone ringing behind her, Solo waited for the machine to pick it up.
"Solo...You here yet?" Neela asked "Well when you get in, there's a race tonight at the old meeting place,"
Solo pulled back another sheet and smiled at the green Mustang.
"Looks like i'm set for the party," she muttered
LATER THAT NIGHT
Solo drove slowly into the car park, her eyes clapped on Neela who gave her smile, she parked the car next to a skyline and got out. Once she had given Twinkie the fright of his life she knew he would alert Han, throughout the brief conversation with DK, Solo had felt a pair of eyes on her, and she knew all too well whose eyes they were. She turned round slowly and stared right into two deep dark eyes before she could walk up to him and say hello two bimbos surrounded him and kissed him.
"Typical," she thought
Neela and Takashi grabbed her attention for a while, when she was finished and the race was announced everyone headed for their cars. Solo got into her car and parked by Twinkie's, she got out again and stood next to Han he seemed to be quite embarrassed with what had just happened. Teasing him didn't seem a good way to greet him but she couldn't help it and once she was done talking the race began, the moment the cars set off people began running for the lifts instead of going with Han as she would have done back in the old days she joined Twinkie.
"Solo you gonna have to let that slip up go," Twinkie moaned "I mean you know how much Han loves you, he didn't mean to do it,"
"There's unfinished business between us Twink," she said
They got to the top of the car park and waited, not long after the cars appeared. The winner was obviously the new kid that Han had taken under his wing, Han didn't just take anyone into his crew that kid must have made an impression on him and enough of an impression to give him the keys to the Mona Lisa and let him write it off.
Han saw her clapping her hands with an impressed look on her face, she obviously thought he was promising too which was a relief. He saw her walk over to Sean and lean against the car.
"Don't screw this up kid," he whispered "Please don't screw this up,"
Sean got out and saw them shaking hands.
"Nicely done...very nicely done...Still needs work though you're not a master just yet kid," Solo said "Han's taught you well,"
"I'm sorry about your car," Sean apologised
Solo shrugged.
"I'm surprised Han even trusted you with it, the only people ever to drive that car were Han or myself," she said "I'll see you around,"
Han saw her walk toward in slow motion, her white vest top under her fitted leather jack clung nicely along with her jeans.
"See you around Han," she said before leaving "Take my advice won't you?"
