Chapter 10: Prelude to AV's Last Stand

"Thanks a lot guys. If I had stayed in there, nobody knows what coulda happened to me. This huge motherfucker in there told me I had a cute ass. That guy scared the shit outta me. I don't know how the hell I can ever repay you guys," said Jeff.

"No problem bro, we had to save you. We knew how bad it must've been in there. It's the only thing we could have done to help you. The only bad thing is that we lost Edwin and Hector, but oh well, we can always get new `homies,' right?" said Hieu.

"Fo sho dawg, fo sho," replied Jeff, impersonating Edwin's voice.

A baby blue Honda Civic with a "Civic Princess" windshield banner pulled up outside of DAiMYo's garage. It was parked so that Hieu couldn't see the driver. "Ah, a new woman racer, eh? I wonder how she looks," said Hieu. The door opened and Hieu craned his neck trying to get a better view. John Nguyen stepped out. "Oh yeah Hieu, she's beautiful," said Jeff, trying not to laugh. Then he couldn't contain his laughter and fell over, rolling on the floor. "Oh shut up," said Hieu, laughing himself.

John Nguyen walked in through the door and looked at Jeff. "Alright Jeff, I'm calling DAiMYo out. We can't beat you in racing, so maybe we can beat you in fighting. This is gonna be a brawl. Bring as many people as you want, but no more than 10. We'll meet you out by Toretto's garage. Tomorrow at 5:00. You accept my offer?"

"Of course.....Civic Princess," Jeff tried to say with a straight face.

"What? I thought it looked cute!" said Hieu. They both busted up laughing. John Nguyen flipped them off and walked out.
