Chapter 3 ; The Race
All five drivers slammed there feet down on the accelerator and took off. Dom sped straight into the lead but not by much, he was quickly into 4th gear. The two racers on his far left moved further and further behind, they were no match for Dom, all they could worry about now was not coming last. The third racer on his left was in close pursuit, the racer was driving a green Civic much like Hectors. Dom glanced quickly to his right rear view mirror, the young girl in the black Mazda was at least a car space behind.
The speed was exhilarating, buildings, cars and people all rushed into a large blur outside Dom's windows. For the first time in over a month Dom felt completely free, he had no thoughts or worries on anything but the race in front of him. He'd forgotten how much he missed racing, he wished he could feel like this all the time.
The racers were coming to the first bend, Dom wasn't to worried it was more a curve then a bend. He took it with no sweat, so did the others. The guy in the Civic to his left was beginning to trail behind, Dom heard a screeching noise and the racer in the Civic shot forward becoming level with him. Dom guessed he had used a shot of NOS, "Too early.amateurs" Dom said aloud to himself.
Coming up was another turn, this time it was a sharp turn, he lifted his foot off the accelerator slightly, he didn't need any more speed but instead needed to keep it constant. The guy next to him on the other hand kept speeding up, he pulled out in front of Dom. A large smile grew across his face "I'm going to beat Dom Toretto!" he thought.
"What an arsehole! Don't he realise there's a curve coming up! He's gonna crash and fucking kill us all!" Dom mumbled angrily. The bend came closer; the green civic driver took it first- he spun straight out of control. Dom braced himself as he took the turn, he pulled the steering wheel right, the green Civic flew sideways across the road straight at him, missing Dom's car by a matter of inches. It carried on spinning straight into two parked cars.
Dom came out of the turn and focused on the road ahead, it was just one straight road to the finish line. Suddenly a black Mazda appeared from nowhere on his right. "Wow!" Dom thought, "That was one sharp turn". The Mazda had come out of the turn neck and neck with him. Dom slammed down on his accelerator. He glanced upwards- timing was everything, it all depended on whether he hit the NOS button on time, a second too soon or late could cost him the race.
The two cars ploughed on neck and neck, Letty and Mia watched anxiously from the sideline, Mia gripped Letty's arm tightly, both held their breath. Leon and Vince watched from the car, both had their eyes wide open not daring to blink. Dom hovered his fingered over the NOS button, then braced himself yet again "Three, two, one", he pushed his finger down, and his car zoomed forward with a mighty force, "Good" Dom declared, "exactly the right time".
He glanced to his right expecting to see the Mazda trailing behind, he was shocked to see her still neck and neck with him, "Damn, she must of hit the button at the same fuckin' time!". Letty and Mia both glared at Dom's car as it sped towards the finish line, "oh, its gonna be close, I cant watch!" Mia closed here eyes tight, Letty took in a deep breath as Dom's car and the black Mazda raced over the finish line.
------Hey ppl sorry this is kind of short but the next chapter is a lot longer. It's not going to be a draw if you're wondering! Thanks Jfurman88 for the review, it means a lot, (and the team will go to visit Jesse ;-)) .- -------
