CHAPTER 7: A last thank you


"Shit!" Van yelled.

Several people turned and looked at him, but Van just gave them the middle finger and than ran off to find Hitomi. Van ran down the street and skidded to a stop in front of a park.

"Did you see a girl run past here she has sandy brown hair?" Van asked a man.

"Come to think of it yes was she wearing a halter top?"

"Ya." Van answered.

"Down that way." the man said pointing toward a lake.

"Thanks." Van said.

He ran toward where the man pointed and he found Hitomi she was sitting on a bench looking out toward the lake.

"Tomi." Van called.

Hitomi turned around and smiled at him.

"Took you long enough." she said.

"Took me long enough you're the one who ran off." Van said.

"Van I didn't run off we got separated and why would I run off?"

"Cause I kissed you."

"Oh I knew why you didn't and I'm not complaining about the kiss." Hitomi said grinning.

"Women." Van said.

Hitomi laughed and got up from the bench "Are you still taking me to lunch."

"If you want."

"Ya let's go." Hitomi replied she than wrapped an arm around Van's waist and leaned against his shoulder, "I may need protection incase some other mean mafia men come for little 'ol me."

Van rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around Hitomi's shoulder, "Aey babe we Italians aint all in da mafia." Van replied in a heavy mafia accent.

They both laughed and they walked to the restaurant.

What is she doing? Van asked himself, What game is she playing?


*~**~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~***~**Van drove down the main highway back to the small town of Gaia, he looked over at Hitomi she was reading one of the books she had bought. Hitomi was leaning down a bit and it gave Van a good view of her boobs. Van grinned and than Hitomi looked up at him.

"What are you smiling for?" she asked.

"Nothing." he replied.

Hitomi followed Van's gaze and turned red.

"Why didn't you tell me they were hanging out?!"

"I'm not complaining about the view." he replied.

Hitomi blushed even more and pulled her halter top up.

"Men." she said.

Van gave Hitomi a sexy smirk and looked back onto the road, there was silence for about 10 minutes and than Hitomi broke it.

"Van?"

"Ya." he replied without taking his eyes off the road.

"Thanks."

"For what?" he asked.

"For bringing me to New York today."

Van looked at her and gave her a lopsided grin "No problem babe."

Van looked back at the road and pressed the brakes the light had turned red.

"Oh my God Van!" Hitomi yelled.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

But his question was answered a huge transport truck was driving right for them passing the red light. The brakes on the truck were cut and the driver could not stop the truck. Van pulled the gear and his Suzuki backed up with a squeal of tires, Van kept backing up well the truck came closer and closer. He ignored Hitomi's screams and concentrated he had street raced before this was no different except for the car he was driving wasn't a convertible and instead of a supped up sports car about to crash into them a huge transport truck was. The Suzuki kept backing up, and Van couldn't stop it when he attempted a turn, the Suzuki turned into a ditch falling upside down. The last thing Van heard were Hitomi's screams and a sickening thud
