Chapter 6
"There's nothing wrong with this car," Jimmy said, closing the hood of Brian's Evo.
They were all still in Tej's. Tej had changed out of his street clothes and was now dressed in a pair of grey coveralls, mounting tires to a set of rims. Suki was sitting at the table working on a new design featuring an intricately drawn panther. Rome was still helping Brian with the exhaust system.
"I coulda told yah that," Brian says, from underneath the Civic.
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you'd lost cost you can't drive for shit and not cause of something I'd screwed up under the hood," Jimmy said, laughing.
"What the hell yah mean I can't drive?" Brian slides from under the Civic, trying his best to look offended, but knowing Jimmy was just playing.
"He mean you can't drive," Rome said laughing, throwing a rag, hitting Brian in the face.
"I can drive better than you." Brian gets up and uses the rag to wipe some of the grease and grim off his hands.
"Just cause you can do some ol' Dukes of Hazard type shit and jump a car onto a boat don't mean you can drive. That just means you a crazy ass white boy." They all laughed at that.
When the laughter died down, Tej gave Brian a serious look, "So what you gonna do Bri?" He was referring to the situation with Team Torreto. Brian had explained to them how he had gone undercover to find out who was pulling the truck heists and had been accepted by the team. Well, he had been accepted by everyone but Vince. He explained about Mia and how he had fallen in love with her. Then he had told them about saving Vince, Tran shooting Jesse, and giving his keys to Dom.
"I don't know. I never expected to see any of them again. Now they're looking for me. I guess I'll just have to see what happens."
Rome was about to say something when the sound of squealing tires pierced the air. They all looked at each other and made their way to the street outside the garage. They got there just in time to see the RX-7 turn left at the end of the block.
"Guess they found you," Rome said.
"I gotta go after him." Brian headed back inside to get his car. At the sound of several high performance engines heading their way, Brian turned back to the street to stand with the others. A smile came to his face as the cars came into view from the opposite end of the block that the RX-7 had disappeared to.
"That's Vince in the blue Maxima, Letty in the purple 240SX, Leon in the yellow Skyline, and Jesse in the Jetta." He told them, naming the cars and their drivers in the order in which they were pulling into the empty parking lot across the street.
The cars parked in diamond formation leaving the tip of the diamond empty. Soon another high performance engine could be heard approaching. The RX-7 turned into the lot with the other cars driving in between the two diagonal rows the cars had formed to fill up the empty space in front completing the diamond formation. The engines were cut and the drivers got out.
