Ch.16

"Kurt" Nolo says

"Yeah it is me" Kurt says...as he steps out of the shadows.

"I should of known" Kris says walking up behind Nolo.

"So this is how you to are getting together" Kurt says

"Your point" Kris replys

"I should of know that we weren't going to keep you away from him" Kurt said

"None of you are...no matter how much you try" Kris said, "Does Markie know?"

"We talked early this morning, but I think he still won't believe it" Kurt said

"Then you won't tell him" Kris said

"NO...I won't tell him" Kurt replys

"Thank You" Kris said as she smiles at him

"Just don't let him catch you together and keep that act up" Kurt said, as he starts to walk away. At the doorway he stops and looks over his shoulder, "And Nolo if you hurt her in any way, I will tell Markie and you better just run...Good Night" Kurt says as he finishes and walks out.

"we are finally getting to be together" Kris says as she leans in and kisses him.

"Yeah finally" Nolo says

The next morning Dr. Tezla called all of the drivers to the conference room to talk.

"I have to go away on a trip, I need some people to go with me...4 at the most. Me and then 3 others" Dr. Tezla says, "Lani will be in charger while I'm gone...so listen to her. Gig will also stay to monitor you guys. Now for who will go, will be up to you...I will give you at least 30 minutes. We leave tonight" And with that Dr. Tezla left, leaving the drivers to see who will go and who will stay.

"So who will go" Tork said as he stood up.

"Well, who do you think should go" Kris said, standing up and walking towards, the head of the table.

"You want to choose from each team, there are three teams, each team chooses one from there own team" Kris said
"I like that idea" Vert says

"Okay, so from the Metal Maniacs that would be..."Kris says looking at Tork

"I will go for Taro or Markie" Monkey said

"Markie" Taro spoke up

"I will go" Markie said

"Then Markie will go" Kris said, "Teku"

"Nolo" Kurt said

Kris looked at him and Nolo nodded,

"Okay now for the Vixens" Karma said

"Cleo" Kris said
"What about Andrea" Cleo said

"If she wants to go, then fine" Kris said

"I want to go" Andrea said

"then it is settled, Markie, Andrea, and Nolo will go on the trip" Kris said

All of the other drivers nodded. They told, Dr. Tezla and they left that night.

The days seemed to go by two realms, Lava and Junk, opened and they won both of them. Kris was talking with Cleo, Alex, and Karma one day,

"Isn't Dr.Tezla coming back today" Kris asked

"As far as I know they are" Karma said

"I..." Kris was cut off by the screeching of tires. Dr. Tezla, Markie, Andrea, and Nolo had returned from there trip. As they stepped out, Kris walked towards them, only to hit a sprint and headed for Nolo. She hugged him, Markie stood dumbfounded at what he saw. Markie was seeing Nolo and Kris hugging each other. Markie just sighed, and said,"excuse me" Kris turned around and pulled away from Nolo and hugged Markie.

"It is great to have you back" Kris said, talking to Markie and Nolo.

"I thought I heard you guys" Kurt said, walking towards them

"Hey bro" Markie said, Did he just say bro, and it actually felt good to say it...he liked it. That was weird as he shook his head slightly and shook his hands with Kurt and walked off talking. Kris couldn't help but sigh at what she was seeing, "you are probably tired" Kris said looking back at Nolo. Nolo just somewhat shook his head grabbed his bag and headed for his room, "let's meet in the mess hall in like 10 minutes" Nolo said

"Okay" Kris said

Nolo headed for his room, while Kris headed for the garage to finish what she was doing. Kris had a funny feeling that Nolo wasn't tell her something, but for now she just blew it off.

In the mess hall Nolo and Kris sat talking with each other.

"So how was it" Kris asked

"interesting" Nolo answered

"Nothing exciting happen" Kris said

"Nope" Nolo said, "you know I'm suddenly tired, do you mind if we talk later"

"Not at all, you just go rest" Kris said, kissing him on the lips and then watched him leave.

Kris sat there, letting her mind run, "something is up...I can feel it. He almost seem like something else is eating him. But why..I thought he would be excited to see me. I wonder what happened. Markie and Andrea went with him, just talk to them, but if something did go wrong then they would probably try to hide it, wouldn't they, well it wouldn't hurt to just ask" Kris thought, she got up and headed for the garages.

Markie and Kurt were talking, Kris decided to just let them be for right now. She decided to go towards Andrea and talk with her. As Kris neared were Andrea was she could hear her say something about how Nolo betrayed her and how he went with someone else while they were gone. Kris was angry with him and herself. She sighed and decided not to press it, just to go work on his car.

Nolo on the other hand, hadn't gotten to sleep at all he was thinking about how he betrayed Kris. He hadn't let Markie or Kurt know much less anyone one else know. He didn't want to get pounded into the ground, but he probably would. He sighed and thought about how when he first saw her...
