Chapter 7: Returns

Zach's POV.

It had been seven weeks now since the race. Neither Grant or Cammie had been in school and people where worrying about them. Bex was still as happy as ever that they weren't in but she hadn't come to realise that even though they were off the attention was still on them and that no one was caring about her. I was sat in mechanics at the back barely listening to what our teacher was saying. The door to the classroom opened and in hobbled Grant with a single crutch under his left arm. Everyone turned to stare at him as he plonked himself down in one of the two empty seats and turned his attention to the teacher. No one spoke for a while.

"Don't let me interrupt, please carry on," is all Grant said before pulling out his notepad and started scribbling away. Class then seemed to fly by and I think it was because everyone wanted to know what was happening. The bell went and everyone stayed in their seats as we watched Grant pack up his things. He didn't say a word to anybody and acts like we weren't there. He got to his feet and put his crutch under his arm before heading to the door. Everyone was confused and didn't know if to say anything. I started to realise that he didn't want to talk about it. With what Sammy had told me it must be a hard subject for him to talk about. I stood up and got my stuff together and followed him to the door and opened it for him. Just as he was about to leave one idiot had to speak up.

"Dude, ain't you gonna tell us what happened at the race, man Anonymous has lost his game!" he chuckled at the end which made it so much worse.

"No not their game, their Father," Thats all he said in reply before leaving the room. Things again really weren't adding up, first Sammy asking Cammie's father to watch over Anonymous and now Grant saying the Anonymous had lost his dad... The only thing that makes complete sense is that Cammie has to have a sibling that no one knows about - Anonymous. That is the only thought I can think about to stop the headache of thoughts. It's a silent walk with Grant to our next class, he just looks straight forward as he walks.

"Is Cammie alright? Sammy said she wasn't feeling too good the day of the race, she still not well I take it?" I asked quietly. I didn't know what I could talk about with him right now and I didn't want him shutting everyone out.

"She's fine, she's just taking longer to recover this time, I know Sammy told you about Adam," he replied the longest I heard him talk all day.

"Yeah I didn't realise, I don't think anybody's made the connection with the last names yet," I shrugged my shoulders as we made it outside our next class. I opened the door for him again and we walked in. There were only a couple other people here already the second bell hadn't rang yet.

"No one ever does to be honest with you," he sighs and slumps in his chair.

"Can I ask you a question about Cammie and Anonymous?" I asked tentatively, I didn't want to upset him even more. He turned his head towards me and pulled his eyebrows together in confusion as he nodded slowly at me.

"Are they related?" I blurted it as fast as I could as the stare he was giving me gave me the chills.

"What makes you ask that?" He sits up in his seat and turns towards me showing interest in my thoughts, which makes me believe I'm on the right lines.

"Just something Sammy said, about Adam Morgan, he was praying for him to help Anonymous through the race which just confused me completely and then in class you said he's lost his father so I figured it's either a coincidence that they've both lost their dad's on the same day or they are related and Adam Morgan is both Cammie's and Anonymous's Father?" I finished as the second bell rang to say next class will be starting. Our teacher walks in and Grant turns around and doesn't say anything in reply.

Cammie's POV.

Staying home these past seven weeks has helped, my memory is back now and the concussion has passed, my broken bones have heeled nicely according to the doctors I've just got a slight limp as I get used to using them again. I've been working on Embers car this past couple of weeks, since the doctor gave me the go ahead but insisted I had someone help me. Who better than Sammy himself, we've not talked much since the race and there hasn't been any other races since. He's been the best, my rock through everything. Ember's car is pretty much a carcass at the minute and today we are meant to be fitting the body parts back on. It's had a new engine fitted, new brake pads, the tyres are the best tyres around, just small changes really, the inner workings of the car all seemed to be fine apart from not having an engine, so with that fitted its running perfectly. All thats left is for a new body and it will be the best project I've ever worked on.

Looking at it now it does look a mess and it's hard to picture what the final outcome will look like. But it's going to be the best looking Mustang you've ever seen. I've been on the phone to Embers explaining the massive delay because of the crash and he was fine, he explained that on his son's birthday (his 21st) he explained that they have gotten him a car so that he doesn't have to get the bus but that its in the garage right now being fixed up, his son was more than happy to wait. It's going to be finished within a few days and I'll be driving t to his college for him.

Grant went back to school today I've apologised at least a million times to him and he keeps telling me to stop that it wasn't my fault. He doesn't hate me at least.


Me and Sammy finally finished Embers car and he's on his way to come view it to make sure everything is perfect. I'm changed into my Anonymous gear with Grant and Sammy. The garage is closed today as we are going to take this bad boy for a spin around the track. It's Wednesday today so Grant's been telling me everything thats been going on at school and that Zach is getting curious about Anonymous and myself. Sammy isn't worried, since it's what he said thats put him on that track. He wants to invite him to a dinner and he's going to explain everything to him and have him sign the contract that all our staff sign and most likely offer him a job. It takes some weight of mine and Grant's shoulders having someone at school know, now we'll have someone to talk to without having to worry what we say or how we word things.

Dead on the hour Embers turns up with a guy about my age, I couldn't see his face due to the glare o the sun on the window. When he stepped out I was shocked to see Zach.

"I see both your sons are fans Embers," I cheerfully shout as I step forward to shake his hand.

"Yes yes, I don't know what got them into racing theres no others in our family," He chuckled as he stepped back. There was silence for a second as he looks over the car. He nod's he head slowly then looks back over to me.

"I'll be honest with you, I have no clue on what I should be looking for, hence why I brought Zach with me, I hope you'll still be around in a few years no doubt he'll be wanting the same for his 21st," he chuckled again shaking his head.

"No doubt about that, I thought we could take it for a test drive around the race track I'll have Luke drive it down for us and we can take it for a spin," Sammy suggested looking between Zach and Embers.

"That sounds like a marvellous idea!" Embers seems a little too over excited but then again he doesn't know what he doing. We all head down to the track, Grant makes up some excuse to leave and head upstairs. Sammy quietly leaves and heads after him. We all stay silent as we continue our way down to the track.

"Thank's Luke," I said as he jumped out the car just after pulling up in front of us. He throws the keys at me and I stare down at them remembering the last time I was in a car, "So who's driving?" I ask looking at Embers.

"I wouldn't mind just watching you drive it round if that's quite alright," He replied with the worst answer possible. I nodded and saw a look of worry cross Zach's face. I walked round the car and jumped in and keyed the ignition. It's a lovely car and part of me is excited to get to drive it before giving it away, and without thinking I floored it and I was away! The best feeling in the world being back behind the wheel. I knew Grant and Sammy where both watching me from upstairs. I took my time with it as my leg was still sore. After a few laps a pulled back up in front of Zach and Embers.

"It's perfect, now how much is this going to be costing me?" He asked closing his eyes as he pulled his check book out.

"I'll give you a small discount since I didn't realise I knew your family, it'll be £29,500" I said calculating it in my head. I heard a low whistle from Zach as his dad wrote the check.

"Well it's less than I thought it would be at least, I just pray he's careful with it," He rips the check out and passes it over to me.

"Well, if anything goes wrong or something breaks he can bring it back and the first fix is free," I said smiling behind my helmet starting to walk back up to the shop floor.

"That is what I like to hear!" Embers exclaimed.

"If you could write down your sons college address I'll deliver it tomorrow afternoon, whats his name again? I don't think you mentioned it," I said as I opened the door to my side of the garage for them.

"It's Cody, heres the address he and his friends are on a study period at 1:30 for an hour, me and my wife are going to be there for then to see his face. I can't wait," He smiled big at me as he left the paper with the address on the side.

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow!" I called as they got back in their car. I looked at the clock on the wall to see that its the Lunch period at school, no wonder Zach could make it Embers didn't strike me as the type of man to pull his son out of school for something like this.

Tomorrow is another day.
