Chapter 29

The Truth

On the morning of the next realm the drivers were again ready and in the garages before breakfast. Leah had not put her leathers on and instead made her way to the infirmary. She waited until after her team had left the rooms before she went down.

She left the Galaxy rooms and took the corridor passed the Inferno's rooms. She got part way down the corridor when Hannah came around the corner at the other end.

"I want to speak with you", she said to Leah.

Leah said nothing but stopped and waited for her to reach her.

"I've had just about enough of you', she started to say, "What right do you think you have to do what ever you like".

Leah just stared at her and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about".

"I'm talking about Todd, I saw him first I want you to stay away from him".

Leah tilting her head back let out an enormous laugh.

"You really have no idea what's going on do you".

"I know exactly what's going on, you toy with Michael and when you cant get what you want from him you move onto the next guy but I'm telling you stay away from Todd".

Leah's smile disappeared from her face and moving closer to Hannah said in a low fierce voice.

"You stupid ignorant girl, you think you know the game, you think you know what's going on. You have no idea what's going on. Well I'll let you in on a news flash. Todd's my husband and the reason we separated was because Michael told him he and I were having an affair when we weren't. Rowan knew that, so why don't you go away and think about why he bought us all together in the first place and maybe you finally see what's going on".

With that Leah pushed passed Hannah and continued down the corridor.

Hannah stood there staring at nothing, finally letting the truth sink in.

Once in the infirmary Leah let Michelle undress her bandages to look at her wound.

"It looks like it's healing well, but keep pressure off it". She told Leah.

"So no driving you mean".

"I would not advise it, if you were to pull the stitches apart it may cause serious scaring".

"Could you re-bandage it up for me".

Michelle looked her "The tape over it should be fine".

"No I think I would like it bandage for another few days, with all the climbing of the stairs..", Leah shrugged her shoulders, "better to be safe".

Michelle gave her a stern look then bandaged her leg nice and tight again.

"It needs to come off tomorrow so that if can heal faster and I suggest you continue using the walking stick for another week", she told Leah.

"I understand", Leah said.

Outside the infirmary Leah made her way to the garage. There she discovered Morning Angel had been replaced with an identical car.

"You didn't tell me I got a new car". She asked Simone and Tash coming to greet her.

"Was here this morning", replied Simone.

"How you feeling this morning, asked Tash, "have they said you can drive or not".

"They recommend that I don't", answered Leah.

Tash signed. They all knew their chances of finishing last, as a team was imminent if Leah did not race.

"Don't think about it, said Simone, it's all about having fun".

"Yeah your right and hasn't this been fun or what", said Tash with a big infectious smile. They all laughed.

"We should go and get some breakfast, it could be another long day".

They made their way to the cafeteria; the Rampage's and Infernal's were already there only Hannah was missing.

At Infernal's table Leah had noticed that both Brett and Tarka now had their earphones painted by Jarvis. Tarka looked over to her and nodded, she nodded back them looking away joining in the conversation Simone and Tash were having. After breakfast the drivers went back to their garages and Leah returned to her room. She did not see Hannah there and really did not care to see her.
