Thanks for the reviews
Here's the next ch. I also saw another request for a song by Queen. I will use that in the next ch for something.
Arriving in Miami
Yumi took Ulrich to the airport that night. Ulrich caught a late flight to Miami.
"Ulrich I want you to be careful out there," said Yumi.
"Yumi it's only America how different can it be from here," said Ulrich.
"Ulrich it's a whole different country," said Yumi.
"I know, you don't have to worry about me," said Ulrich.
"Listen if my record agent gets some things sorted out I may be able to make a visit," said Yumi.
"Since when do you have a record agent?" asked Ulrich.
"Since yesterday, I was going to tell you after our date but then we found out about your parents and you blew up and started to throw things around," said Yumi.
Ulrich was silent. Yumi then wrapped her arms around him and brought him into a passionate kiss. After the kiss was broken Ulrich boarded his flight. Yumi then remembered something as she walked away. She turned around to see if he was still outside of the gate but he wasn't.
'I wonder what he wants me to tell his relatives?' Yumi thought.
Back IN Miami Todd is showing Odd his new work place. They arrive at a huge warehouse. About 100,000 square feet.
"Damn this place is big," said Odd.
"You know it, Dom and I brought this place for thirty grand," said Todd.
Odd looked around there were parts and tools all over the place. Car lifts lined one wall. A paint booth in the back and offices opposite the car lifts. He then spotted a red RX7 and a black Acura Integra.
"Whose are those?" asked Odd.
"Well the RX7 is Dom's and the Acura is a birthday present for Nikki so don't tell her," said Todd.
"So how long have you and Nikki been together?" asked Odd.
"About three months now," said Todd. "What about Mandy?"
"Oh close to a year now," said Odd.
"So when did you guys get Aaron?" asked Todd.
"She had him when I first met her. I remember one day when we went to her place. When she left the living room and came back we were both on the computer and I was teaching Aaron how to fine tune his car on Underground 2," said Odd.
"How old is he?" asked Todd
"Seven," said Odd.
Todd finishes showing Odd around the warehouse. Then they go out to eat, well Odd went to town by ordering most of the menu at Arby's. Dusk comes and Ulrich's plane lands. Ulrich finds a phone book, he finds Odd's cousins number and calls it. No one is home. He copies down the address and catches a cab. He arrives at the house and sees a note on the door.
Ulrich, sorry that I didn't tell you where I lived. I suppose you looked in the phone book or something. If you do find the house and are reading this note take it off and leave your bags behind the garage. There's nothing else you can really do except wait for me to get back.
Ulrich took the note off the door. He then noticed that the fence to Odd's yard was open so he walked in and set his bags by the garage. He decided not to wait around for Odd because knowing Odd he was at a restaurant buying everything on the menu. So Ulrich decided to take a walk. He walked into town, which was about ten minutes from Odd's house. He could hear loud music coming from somewhere. So he decided to follow it. Mean while Odd was in the middle of a race.
"Days Go By"
I'm changing lanes
I'm talking on the phone
I'm drivin' way to fast
Four cars blast down a street weaving in and out of traffic.
And the interstate's jammed with
Gunners like me afraid of coming in last
Odd's civic swerves side to side as he tries to pass a red Toyota Celica.
But somewhere in the race we run
We're coming undone
The Celica driver holds steady and makes sure that Odd stays behind him.
Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Odd makes a daring move, he swerves to the left and hits the nitrous. Odd passes the Celica. The Celica swerved to keep Odd from passing but ended up going into the wrong lane of traffic and slams head on into another car.
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs
"Odd, remember your birthday present?" Todd asked over a walkie-talkie
"Oh yeah," Odd responded.
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We're losing ourselves
Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
Odd then hits the switch activating the Triton. His car immediately started to pick up speed.
It's all we've been given
The RPM gage lit up from blue to green showing the car topping out at 13,000 instead of 7,000. So you better start livin' right now
The speedometer did the same showing a top speed of 260mph.
'Cause days go by
We think about tomorrow then it slips away
We talk about forever but we've only got today
Ulrich has now arrived at the crowd of people standing at the finish line. Ulrich makes his way to the front of the crowd.
And the days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window
As the cars go by
The racers are coming up to a 90 degree bend. Odd is coming in way to fast he slams on the breaks and pulls the hand break. This gave the now second place Pontiac Grand Prix a chance to pass.
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin'
You better start livin'
Better start livin' right now
Both cars come out of the turn side by side. Everyone is now screaming at the top of their lungs.
Cause days go by
I can feel like 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
The cars are neck in neck coming down the final stretch.
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
With the blower running Odd also hits the nitrous. Odd knew he shouldn't use it because it may damage the blower system but he wanted to win.
Cause days go by
These days go by
Odd was now three car lengths infront of the Grand Prix. His nitrous is gone and the win is his.
So take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand
And live your life
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by
Come on, Come on now
Don't you know the days go by
Odd crosses the finish line and stops his car. Everyone is then allowed to run towards him. As Odd climbs out of his car he gets swamped by fans and other racers. Todd makes his way through the crowd with Mandy and Aaron close behind.
"YOU WON!" Aaron yelled as he ran up to Odd.
"I sure did," said Odd as he ruffled Aaron's hair.
"I believe that this prize money belongs to you," said TJ as he handed Odd his winnings.
Odd then takes four hundred out of the one thousand dollars he won and gives it to Todd.
"What's this for?" asked Todd.
"Repaying you for the box under the hood," said Odd.
"Odd it was a gift from me to you this is not necessary," said Todd.
"I don't care just take it," said Odd.
Odd then looks over and sees someone he hasn't seen in a while.
"Ulrich?" said Odd with surprise.
Ulrich just stood there looking at Odd.
"I never thought I would find you here," said Ulrich.
"I thought you went to the house," said Odd.
"I did but decided to look around town and then I heard the music and came here," said Ulrich.
"GUYS WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" yelled another racer as he ran towards the crowd.
Everyone looked down the street to see the worst thing a street racer could even hope for.
So who or what is coming? You may know you may not. Review to find out.
