"Hi!" Scott said. He was by himself waiting for her.
"Hi" she said in a pissed off tone.
He looked down and said: "Umm yeah, sorry about the tackle thing" He really did seem sorry, but she really didn't care.
"Whatever. Where are we going?" She asked, holding her necklace.
"To the auto shop" He motioned for her to go with him. Please be following me on your scanner KITT she thought.
The auto shop has its own building out back of the school. About 1/8 of the student body every takes auto shop there. When they walked in, there was the guys from the night before, and an adult that Tasha had never seen before.
"Tasha, this is Mr. Richen. He's the teacher of this class." She nodded hi to him.
"Hello Tasha. Scott has told me a lot about you." He extended his hand to shake hers, but she didn't put her hand out. She just stood there waiting for him to tell her why she was there. He took the hint.
"I have been told that you are very gifted when it comes to computers.You have passed all of the tests with flying colors. Exceptional work on the bomb by the way." He looked at her with a smug smile.
"Ok, so why have I been 'tested' and why am I here? I am so tired of playing games." She sat down and waited to see what he had to say.
"We have a very elite group here, and we would like you to join. We he cleared his throat steal cars, and re sell them. Sometimes we chop them up for parts. We need your skills with computers to get past the car alarms. Also with your skills, the rewards are endless." She didn't flinch and waited to see if he had anything else to say. After a couple of minutes of silence she decided to speak.
"So what's in it for me?" She said. Mr. Richen smiled.
"I was hoping you would say that. You get 30% of the take, for your efforts, and risk." She pretended to think about it.
"40% and you have a deal."
"Ok. You start now. Your assignment is to bring in a Porsche. Lets see how you do."
"K. see you later. "She stood up to walk out. Scott stopped her.
"If you screw up, you're gone, and I don't mean just from the group." Scott said.
"If you like breathing I would move out of my way." She said in an even tone. Scott moved and she walked out of the building alone. Once out of there, she took another deep breath, and beeped her comm. Link.
"You guys get all of that?" she asked, hoping that they both were there.
"Oh yeah. We'll meet you at the Semi." Michael said. Tasha decides to go for a walk. Its been a long couple of days, and she is looking forward to this case being over. She didn't feel like just walking back to the Semi. Instead she walked towards the parking lot. She saw Michael getting into KITT.
"Hey, Mr. Knight!" She called out. Michael turned around. "Hey, can you give me a lift?' She asked.
"Sure, where are you going?" he asked.
"Just downtown."
"Hop in." And he opened the door for her. Once in side she felt safe.
