Chapter 6
A few days later.
"Come on Matt enough's enough." Caleb shouted as he was being forced to clean the Garage and the cars.
"After today I guess I can let you off." Matt grinned at watching his friend suffer the horror's of cleaning the whole apartment the cars the garage on his own.
"Hey Matt did Jay say when he was coming back?" Martin asked while wiring the electric system in Irma's Evo.
"Shouldn't be to much longer Taranee is definitely the better driver of the girls so she will probably pick up the basic's and finer points of Drag and Drift." Matt responded sitting back on the couch as Cornelia, Irma , Will and Hay Lin entered.
"There still not back?" Cornelia inquired curling up next to Matt.
"Nope when Jay says he teaching ya your gonna learn it no matter how long it takes." Matt grinned leaning in for a kiss.
"Besides it hasn't been that long since they left." Eric stated bolting the new spoiler of the Supra on. "That and even you girls admitted that Taranee was the better drive of you five." he finished shutting the trunk.
"Well that brings my question why is Jay teaching her when he hasn't finished her car?" Irma spoke watching Martin work.
"Shit he finished the engine work on that car yesterday night while we were all gone." Caleb stated still sweeping.
"No way already?" Will gasped sitting in a chair next to the couch.
"Yep he has started some of the work on the Evo but when Tara arrived he was out the door with her to begin Drift and Drag training." Martin spoke checking the wiring he just finished.
"How much has he done?" Irma inquired as Martin opened the hood to reveal the partially built engine.
"Right now the car can do zero to sixty in less than five seconds. The NOS injection system is now Direct Port and an electronically programmable ECU system and those four tires over there and Toyo and some Racing Hart CRX rims." Martin finished looking at the shocked girl.
"Jay doesn't shit around when he starts work on a car this is actually the first time he ever stopped work on an engine before completely finishing.." Caleb spoke putting the broom away. "And don't say it I know I still have to clean up what ever is messed up after all the body work too." Said teen snapped glaring at his laughing friend on the couch.
"I wasn't gonna say that." Matt laughed. "I was gonna ask how many sets of tires Jay took with him?"
"What?! Oh I think he took three sets plus put a fresh set on the SL-Five-Hundred so he may not be much longer." Caleb stated a tad embarrassed.
"Thanks man take a break or are you gonna start some of the work on Will's RX-Seven?" Martin inquired finishing the tests he was running on the Evo.
"Not much I can do till Jay gets under the hood and starts pulling those shitty mods out, by the way who sold you those things their some of the poorest quality I have ever seen?" Caleb spoke looking over at the girls.
"A local man sells after market parts and pretty much the only place to get them." Hay Lin stated telling them the name and location of the place.
"Alright we need to tell Jay that there is some smart ass sell shitty parts." Eric spoke having just installed some of the new gages.
"Oh yeah and here." Matt smiled pulling out five sheets of paper.
"What's this for?" Cornelia asked opening to reveal online after market parts stores from Bayview to Rockport.
"Those are some of Jays closest friends shops he gave them your names and informed them that your indeed racers so they will handle your part needs from now own." Caleb smirked looking at the now fish like girls.
"But there is also a catch, you must now begin to win races and pay for any extras. Jay is just giving you the engine and look if you want Vinyl's or anything aside from what is needed to win a race you have to buy it or if it is damaged it will be your responsibility." Martin explained.
"Well we all have plenty of cash saved seeing as almost every one that attends Sheffield Institute has money seeing as it is one of the most prestige's schools around and almost every one there is or well we thought was a racer till you guys rolled in and showed us that were all just small time." Will spoke as Caleb pulled a chair beside her.
"Well try not to use that to much as it might be suspicious to your parents even thought were all around seventeen." Eric stated getting his own chair.
"You know Irma said the same thing the day we meet you guys." Hay Lin laughed.
"I still can't believe Jay is out there with out his Charger." Irma spoke looking at the restored Dodge.
"That is on the off chance that Cross does come through town." Caleb stated.
"I see so that's why you've all used cabs or walked." Will spoke leaning her head on Caleb.
"Pretty much." Eric said leaning back in his chair.
With Jay.
"Well she is definitely getting better but she is burning the tires up way to fast." Jay thought as Taranee stopped the car in front of him.
"Well how was that?" The dark skinned girl smiled stepping out of the car.
"Better but your still using your normal brakes too much and burning up tires way to fast." Jay spoke as he began changing the tires. "And as for Drag you are a natural so next time we'll bring extra tires to work on your drift some more." Jay looked up and smiled.
"Drag racing seems to be the easiest where as Drift you seem to need way more precision control." Taranee said looking to see if she was right.
"Yeah drift wasn't easy for me either." Jay started moving on to the next tire. "But we all have a type of race were better at when we start, take me for example I can tare it up in Sprint, Drag and a unique race called a Duel which is something not many new drivers will ever experience." Jay finished.
"What is a Duel race then?" Taranee inquired rolling the next tire to Jay.
"It is a one on one race along a canyon or some other dangerous place where one screw up can not only cost you your ride but more than likely your life." Jay stated finishing the second tire.
"And you have raced in them?" came the next and probably most obvious question.
"Yeah more times than I can count and my crew has run them too, it not a race I would wanna see you or the other girls run as none of you are any where near ready for that." Jay spoke in a solemn voice.
"I'll take you word on that, it sounds like it is way above our heads right now." Taranee spoke matching his tone while rolling the third tire over.
"Thanks, lets see your more like me in terms of racing style so Sprint and Drag will more than likely be your strong points and over time maybe even Duels but till then we need to work on your drift style and since your good at drag we'll move on to Street X." Jay spoke finishing the third tire.
"Cool so what is Street X?" The tan skinned girl inquired rolling the final tire over.
"It is similar to drift in the aspect that you can't use NOS but your getting sideways isn't necessary as it is a closed circuit race on a really tight track where precision is key but it also doesn't hurt to trade a little paint to take first." Jay grinned bolting the final tire on.
"That sounds a lot tougher than Drift." Taranee stated getting up as well. "What do we do with the used tires?"
"I have some one coming by after we leave to pick them up. Just like I had some one drop them off so no worries." Jay smiled as he put the jack and tire tool back into the compartments.
"Well what do we do now." Taranee began to flirt.
"What do you wanna do then." Jay growled wrapping her up tight.
"I.." Taranee started as they both heard sirens in the distance.
"Shit get in!" Jay shouted as he took the drivers side.
"Shouldn't I drive?" Taranee asked.
"We have no NOS and are low on fuel, your good but right now keeping our asses out of a jail cell is more important than learning to evade the cops." Jay spoke peeling out of the dock yards to see crosses corvette coming down the road. "Ah shit that fucker is in town." Jay snarled as he speed past him to see him turn to follow only to get stopped by the locals. "Good maybe that is the distraction we need to get out of here."
"What is?" the girl beside him asked.
"Cross was the driver of the Vette that passed us on the way out, I think he might have seen me cause he turned around to pursue and the locals stopped him." Jay stated making his way to the garage.
Back with the others.
"Sounds like their back." Matt laughed as the garage door opened and Taranee's car rolled in with a pissed looking Jay.
"Shit what is it man you have that I'm ready to kill look." Caleb spoke going serious.
"Martin hit the Police net work, Cross is in town." Jay growled getting out of the car. "And to make matters worse I think the local and Cross got a good make of Tara's car." Jay finished as they gathered around the computer.
"You think he saw you?" Matt inquired looking at his best friend.
"Pretty sure, he turned to pursue but the locales that were coming after us decided to stop him giving us ample time to get away." Jay stated looking as the data net work came up.
"Let's see recent arrest. There are five of them." Martin stated checking the file of each. "Here Cross former ASRS Captain of the Rockport Police Department now a bounty hunter after a street racer named Jay Conrad. Pulled over due to impeding a pursuit and allowing the driver to escape." Martin spoke reading.
"Shit I thought we could at least rest from more than a few weeks." Eric growled.
"You can he isn't after you guys just me and I'll give him what he wants." Jay snarled walking over to his Charger.
"Don't even thin about it Jay." Matt growled grabbing his arm.
"Let go of my arm Matt." Jay growled.
"Forget it man, we ride together we fail together!" Matt shouted.
"Don't feed me that line of shit, Cross only wants me, you guys can get away and meet me in a new city." Jay shouted yanking his arm free. "Besides Cross has yet to catch me and he never will because I am that damn good." Jay snapped.
"Please don't." Taranee spoke softly wrapping her arms around him from behind while laying her head on his back.
"I have too." Jay sighed laying his hands on hers. "If I stay you girls will only get brought into a fight you can't win." The teen continued turning to hold her in his arms. "I don't want to see any of you get hurt your just not ready to take on Cross."
"Then let me come with you." Taranee spoke into his chest.
"I can't do that either, I have no parents no family so no one really cares if I stay in one place to long." Jay spoke as his friends all looked down and the girls looked shocked. "You're the first that had asked to come with me aside from my crew." Jay smiled tilting her head up and planting a loving kiss on her lips.
"Jay we can think of something, we don't need to just up and run." Martin spoke getting up from the computer.
"Well we only have a few days at most before Cross figures out where were at." Jay sighed sitting on the couch with Tara in his arms.
"That's better than just running to take him on." Eric stated sitting in a chair.
"Well then we better get to thinking on what to do but I have away to buy us more time." Jay stated looking between everyone.
"Ok bro shoot." Matt spoke listening.
"Well out in the desert a number of the Different Tuner Magazines are holding an Underground Drag Tournament it won't take very long to finish Irma's Evo and their all ready to roll in it." Jay grinned looking at the stunned faces.
"When did you finish all the engines?" Caleb shouted walking to look under the Hood of Cornelia's Cayman S. "Damn it is finished." Caleb exclaimed as the others opened their hoods to see the work done.
"I thought all that was done for my Supra was the cosmetic work." Hay Lin exclaimed looking at her cars tuned engine.
"Ah hell those five can do that shit, I worked through the nights most of the time." Jay laughed leaning back as Tara leaned back into his chest.
"Well then don't you think you should finish the Evo Jay." Martin spoke.
"Yeah, I guess so lets get to work the sooner were done the sooner we can head out there ad have more time to think." Jay spoke as they got to work.
AN: kinda short but I need some filler next time around should be some drag races. Thanks to XV-Dragon for the reviews. Peace Out.
