Chapter Four:
Nikki burst through the door. "Guys, I need some help," she announced. "We need to work on my car."
"What did you do now?" Gia joked, not knowing the
seriousness of the situation.
"I have to beat Dom in a race," Nikki said quickly. She grabbed the phone. "I made a deal with Dominic. I win, we talk. He wins, I leave him alone." She started dialing.
"Are you stupid?!" Chad cried. It wasn't that he didn't believe she couldn't beat Dominic; it
was just the fact that her chances were pretty slim.
"Yes," Nikki answered Chad.
"Who are you calling?" Gia asked.
"Work. I gotta
tell them I can't come in today." Nikki
actually had two jobs. Weekdays, she
was a mechanic. Weekends during the day
until sundown, she worked at a bar. "Yeah, Samantha?" Nikki said when someone picked up on the other
line. "I can't come in to work
today…Why?" Nikki looked at Chad and
Gia for an alibi. Chad grabbed a box of
Kleenex. Nikki rolled her eyes. "Umm…" Being sick was too suspicious. Gia picked up a picture frame and hugged it lovingly. "Uh…Family issues," Nikki finally said. "Yeah…Really sorry I can't come in
today…Alright. Thanks for
understanding." She hung up the phone
and sighed in relief. "Thanks, you
guys."
"We've hardly started to help you!" Chad said. "We have to get to work on your car. We're gonna make sure that you win."
Until the sun set that day, Nikki, Gia, Chad, Cameron,
Braden, and even Rhett worked on Nikki's car. They got new NOS tanks for it, plus extra ones. They were really going to make sure that she
won. Everyone was a little tired of
Nikki and Dominic's fighting. They
wanted it to end too. When they were
done, the team looked at their finished piece of work. "It's beautiful," Nikki said. She hugged everyone in a big group hug. "Thank you all so much!"
"Not a problem," Cameron said. "We just want to have old times back. When we all got along. We
hate leaving you out when Dom and the rest invite us somewhere."
"Not to mention it's gonna be awesome seeing you whoop his
ass!" Braden exclaimed. With that they
each got in their own cars and drove off to meet Dominic.
