She opened her eyes . What the hell went wrong ? Did she won ?
She found herself tightened by the safety belt , with the part where she was in a wall. She recalled what happened a few moments ago. She looked around and saw people staring at her , and cars stopping by .
Was that a police siren she heard ?
Her eyes widened and she practically ripped the safety belt off her body , trying to get out. As she separated her back from the seat , a sharp pain went trough her right arm . In her arm laid deep a piece of broken glass from the smashed window. She gazed at it , biting her lower lip . She put her fingers on the small part of glass that was out of her arm . She breathed once or twice , and pulled it out .
The wound was free from pressure and the blood started to rush on her hand .She knew that in a couple of moments she will feel har hand and body numb , so she had to move fast. The sirens were closer now , people were screaming something.....
She tried to start the car again . It didn't worked .
" Come on , baby ! Come on !! " She screamed , hitting the pedals with her havey boots.
The car made a low sound and the gasoline started to rush inside.
" Yes !"
She waited for a couple of seconds for the people around to back away as soon as they heard the engine running. She pressed with force on the pedal and the car started full speed ahead , right trough the intersection . She didn't cared about the people screaming and the sound of the sudden breaks as she passed with almost 200 Km/h on the street. She just hoped she won't hit anyone.
Behind her she heard the police sirens. She looked behind and , indeed, two cars were following her . Why ? She was sure it wasn't because of the accident , they knew ! They knew about the race ! She should of listened and not get into this today . But God damn it , she had the fast car here !!
She hurried as she tried to get theme dizzy , get lost trough the streets , but they were still after her. She had to think fast !
She recalled a bridge in the other side of the town . Under it were tons and tons of boxes used for the furniture of the near factory . She could jump with the car off the bridge , on the boxes and speed ahead on the highway , trough that shortcut...... WHAT IS SHE THINKING ?? The bridge is very very VERY high !
She opened the door and backed away from it as she entered in the back of a truck with it. The door fell behind her , into the wheels of the Policemen's cars. That slowed theme down a bit. The wind started to blow her hair and sting her eyes.The windshield was broken too.
She continued to speed up a lonely street , when she saw behind her another car coming from a street on her right , flshing its lights at her . What the hell.....? She didn't stopped . But the other car , witch proved to be a C-Class Mercedes as far as she saw, approached her until it reached the same speed and paralell line. The window went down and a face vaguely familiar to her was revealed , but she still didn't knew who he was.
" Kid ! Jump in ! " She heard a powerful voice.
" I'm NOT a kid and I'm NOT gonna jump !" She screamed looking behind her at the police cars.
" The car won't last long ! "'
" I KNOW THAT ! "
" Than jump ! "
" No can do stranger ! Thanks for the help anyways ! " She replied saluting him and trying to speed up ." Besides, the windows are too small for me to jump in !"
The man opened the back door and speeded with it in a wall , and the silver door flew in the air and fell on a near parked car . He speeded close to her again with no problem.
" See ? Now you have enough room to jump !" He said faking annoyance.
The young woman looked at him like he was nuts . Why was he helping her ? No , WHO was he ? He seemed so familiar...... The police sirens approaching woke her up from her short trail of thought. Her car was starting to make funny noises . The man was right and she knew it : it wouldn't last long enough for her to escape. She looked at the man and the car once again . He moved his head and widened his eyes like asking " Are you jumping ? I'm waiting !"
" Fucking shit ! I've ended up jumping from cars when I could of worked as an advertising manager or something....." She talked with herself while trying to get rid of the seatbelt that fell between her legs and it was tripping her , not letting her to reach the pedals.
" Are you comin ' ? " The man asked again .
" Hold on ! "
She screamed to him. She put her hands on the edges from where the door flew , while her car was losing control without its driver and stretched her right hand towards the other one and reached for it and jumped ! Her hands were holding tight the hot metal as her feet slipped and her boots were scratching the road .She made one final effort and lifted her legs and fell on the leather seat. trough the back window she saw her car turning left and entering a store.
The bald man just looked behind and when he was assured she was safe he turned suddenly on a street and on another , and another , and another......in a matter of minutes the Policemen lost their traces. As far as she realized , that was his plan , and he was sure knowing where he was going because he stopped like he had no care in the world in a rather public place . Maybe he thought that cars without doors were the latest fashion.
" Kid , you pulled a nice stunt on the ramp..... " He said looking for something on the seat next to him.
She realized she was staring . So it was HIM ! The white T-shirt , those huge tattoos on his arms and the leather pants....no doubt it was him . She recalled seeing him between all those men , awaitng for the thrill of a stunt race . He was one of the men that advised both of theme ( her and her adversary ) to run as hell if police comes . She shook her head and frowned , looking at him.
" I'm not a kid , I turned 20 four months ago ! And thanks ! And why did you ...um...'saved' me ? Who are you anyway ? "
He turned fully towards her and threw a camera in her arms .
" Xander Cage . On the tape inside that you have your stunt as I saw it .....and on these --- He showed 3 tapes ---- the stunt from 3 diffrent angles . " His voice sounded lower than she recalled it .
" Yeah....so ? "
" You can sell it for enough money to allow you to participate in another race. Or it can win you a place in an illegal stunts team also......"
" Are you suggesting something ? " She asked handing him the tapes and the camera back .
" This may come a little sudden kid , but I wanna buy this stunt of yours . "
"It's all yours. " She replied stepping out of the car .
He stepped out after her.
" So you're not asking anything in return for me taking your stunt ? You know, I get money from this."
" No. You can sell it , eat it ,or do whatever you want with it. I've lost my money anyway. That stunt was supposed to be a whole lot more than it was ."
" You're stupid , you know . " He said , laughing.
She turned towards him , frowned , her mascara was dripping from her eye lashes .
" Who the fuck do YOU think YOU are to talk to ME like this ? !" She asked nervously and brutally pushed him back .
She would of expected some kind of a reaction , to push her back or something , but he just rose his hands as 'surrender' and turned away.
" Whatever kid , this is just easy money I just made today. I'm waiting if you wanna grab a bite and talk . " He said while heading towards a fast food.
The short haired brunette watched him as he held the tapes and camera tight and ran on the red light , towards the Yellow fast food. Who was this man ? Yeah , Xander Cage . Besides that she didn't knew anything . She looked around . She was supposed to do what anyway ? She shook her head and ran towards the fast food.
She found him at a table , ordering something.
She sat nervously and looked at him.
" Are you hungry ? " He asked.
" Only if you're payin'......"
" Sure..."
" Yeah , I'll need a coffee and some Kent. "
" No smoking allowed here kid. "
" I'm NOT a kid god damn it ! "She replied hitting the table with her fist.
Some people stared.
" Okay...then a coffee and a cheeseburger and fries."
He said to the woman . As soon as the blonde dissapeared , she breathed and started to ask .
" Fine now. this is the sudden thing that ever happened in my life , so who the hell are you , what do you want and why did you saved me ? "
" Xander Cage. To see just how good you are . Because people with balls like yours are hard to find and it would of been a shame to end up in prison at your age. Anything else ? "
The girl just shook her head as in " you're insane" and sipped some coffee.
" This is fucking wierd Xander . First off , you save me from the police , after that you talk to me like you know me for years and try to buy a cartoon's tape from me , second off , from what I'm gettin' here it seems like you want me in a stunts team , third off , you have this kind of a team ?"
" Nope. I AM the team."
She rolled her eyes and asked herself if it would of been better to just leave him there and get back to her life. After that they both looked straight into eachother's eyes . After a few tensioned moments they bursted into laughter.
" God , this is so fucking wierd.........."
" Okay wierdo , you haven't told me your name ."
" Call me .... Dana."
" You paused. Is that your real name ? "
" No."
" Why ? "
" When you get in the shit I'm in you don't want anyone to know your real name ."
" Hhmmmmmmm...if you say so..........Dana.........I think I saw that name in a game once......so you're in for the challenge ? "
" Challenge ? "
" 15 days from now a stuntsmen team is competing with me, you , my friend and his girlfriend. Who wins gets the money."
" What ? You ahven't told me anything about a challenge ? Is this why you came to the contest to find someone willing to do this ? "
" Yeah......"
" I thought you wanted me because I was good and I would of made my own stunts to get money!"
" You are good that's why I want you in my team .In or out ? "
She let out a nervous sigh. God damned men ! They always had something with challenges like this . But so did she . She took another sip from the coffee and looked outside at the silver C-Class Mercedes parked over the street , with no back door on the left side. And she looked at him .
" You don't even know me and you're saving my ass and asking me to get in a team ."
" Well your ass is worth it I guess ." He says taking a bite from the cheeseburger .
" Whatever........." She paused.
" I'm in."
