I'm going to skip the author's notes in today's chappie. Oh yeah, Kai is a bit OOC in this chappie so you don't have to rub it in.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS.

CHAPTER 3.

GALUX PHOENIX.

Kai sighed as he picked up the phone. He quickly dialled one of the last two numbers on the sheet in front of him.

He tensed up slightly as the phone on the other end rang a few times.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile of the other end of the phone line, two men were having a small argument.

"You tell him!" one of the men said loudly.

"No! You do it! How is a guy who doesn't speak answer a phone call?!" the other man replied.

"It's YOUR job!" the first insisted.

"Ok, fine." The second man grumbled opening a door just enough to call out: "Bryan! There's a phone call for you!"

On the other side of the door, a man stood in a morgue like room, he was wearing a white coat and rubber gloves. His lavender hair rustled slightly as he moved towards the phone. He picked it up with his left hand.

"Hello? Bryan? Press a button if it's you." Kai asked on the other end of the line.

Bryan tilted his head to the side slightly before shrugging and pressing a button.

"Ok, good. I really need your help on this one. So listen up ." Kai continued.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kai walked through a large mechanical workshops, cars littered the floor space many being worked on by mechanics. He approached a car towards the back wall.

"Sounds like the ribbon is broken." He said simply to the woman who was working underneath the car.

"What do you want Kai?" she replied coldly. Pulling herself out from under the car the change spanners.

"I need your help Steph." He replied.

"Well I don't want to give it to you." She cut in her coldness still there.

"Please Steph. This is an emergency." He pleaded a hint of urgency in his voice. (O_O that's really OOC!!)

"What time is it?" she asked with slightly less coldness lacing her voice.

"About 5. Why?"

"Shit!" she cursed under her breath. "I have to get to work."

"You are at work." Kai stated simply.

"I have two jobs. I discovered you have to work twice as hard if it's honest." She replied rolling out from under the car. She stood up and took a swig from a drink bottle by the car.

She strode out of the workshop leaving Kai behind eyes widened slightly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The music was still pumping in the slightly grimy and dimly lit bar. Steph stood behind a bar along a wall serving people the drinks they ordered.

"Please help me on this one?" Kai asked searching her eyes for a weakness he could use against her.

"What do you need my help for anyway?" she asked ignoring his question.

"Kyo took a boost. And he sort of totally screwed it up."

"Shit!" Steph cursed under her breath. "So you need my help to fix this problem of his?"

"Yes. Well, will you help out an old friend?" Kai asked again.

"I'll think about it. No promises."

"Promises are made to be broken anyway."

A small smile spread over Kai's lips and he nodded once before turning and heading for the door. He paused a few metres away and turned around.

"You know where to find me." then he turned and disappeared into shadow once more.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kai walked into the parking lot behind the bar. He pulled his jacket around him in the cold night air. He shivered slightly as a gust of wind picked up.

"You just had to accept that job didn't you?" a voice called out coldly through the dark night air. Kai spun on his heel. Hi crimson eyes narrowing in the darkness as the owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows they hid in.

"What the fuck do you want Tala?" Kai growled coldness etched over his features.

"I want to show you not to mess with jobs that should have been given to me." in cold fury Tala through a punch a Kai's face. Kai dodged it swiftly before he was held back by Ian and Spencer.

Tala continued to through punches at Kai who couldn't really dodge them properly due to his restrainers.

**SMASH!!!** The sound of glass shattering reached the four men's ears. They all looked over to the back of the small car park. A man about their age stood next to a car with it's side window smashed in to smithereens.

"HEY!!! That's my car you idiot!!!" Tala yelled at the guy next to the car. The man stepped out of the shadows, his light lavender hair falling over his eyes slightly.

"Bryan!" Kai exclaimed. His eyes widening slightly.

Bryan nodded once to Kai before he lit the end of a rag that was hanging for the gas tank of Tala's car. An evil smirk formed on Kai's lips as the car turned into a giant fireball complete with flames streaking a few metres high into the air.

"Thanks for that. I owe you one," said Kai patting Bryan on the back as he rearranged his shirt.

"So that means your going to help me?" Kai asked.

Bryan gave him a look that said 'If I wasn't going to help you, why the fuck would I be here?'. The two walking off into the darkness surrounding the car park, Tala and his gang long gone.
