Chapter Nine
She was wearing black leather pants, a baby blue crop top, and her black leather jacket. Her signature sunglasses were in her hand again, and she looked absolutely beautiful. Her hair was pulled up now, but she was still fine.
He watched as she walked up to the bookie and gave him her entrance fee. Two grand, in bills. The girl had money. She was up to something, he could tell. She wasn't "just in town". There was a reason to her being here. If he got lucky, she might let him in. he could always use the extra cash.
She walked up to the bookie, who had seen her pull up. She paused before him, taking in his facial expression.
"What's the entry fee, two grand?" she asked, pulling out the bills.
He stared for a moment. She obviously was big headed about this shit. He smiled to himself and took her money.
"You wanna roll with the big boys, huh? Well, hat to break it to ya, but you're in for a major ass kickin'."
She let him take her money, then went to turn away. As she did, she thought better of it and turned back to him.
"I'll tell you what," Madison began, "whether I win or lose, you and your slow ass car can meet me out on the street after and I'll show you an ass-kicking."
With that, she walked back to her car and waited. Jarod stared after her in amazement. Whoever she was, she wasn't afraid of anyone.
However, he knew she would lose this race. Toretto had already entered and everyone knew Dom ran these races.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dom watched as Madison challenged Jarod. She had some guts. She had accepted a challenge from Dom and was not challenging Jarod. The boy was good, but he was no match for Madison. She would whoop his ass with no effort at all.
Cameron broke into his thoughts. The guy was a prick and Dom wasn't in the mood to deal with his shit right now.
"Nice to see you could make it, Toretto," Cameron said, snidely.
"Go to hell, Maurice."
"Ouch. Sorry to say, but I'm gonna kick your ass tonight."
Christian heard Cameron's comment and turned around. He knew Dom didn't need to be dealing with Cameron's shit and was ready to step up and get rid of him. Dom, however, had a different idea. He held Christian back and chose to let this one go. Cameron was not worth his time. He turned his back to Cameron, who got pissed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Madison watched as some guy she didn't know grabbed Dom by the shoulder. In one swift move, Dom turned around, punched the guy in the stomach and the jaw and laid him flat on the ground. The guy, deserving what he got, lay in the fetal position, holding his stomach.
She rushed over to him and glared at Dom. He shook his head at her, but she refused to listen. There was a guy lying on the ground and Dom had put him there.
"Leave the prick there," Dom commented.
Madison was getting more and more pissed at Dom by the moment. She stood up and bitched at him.
"What the hell did you do to him?"
"You don't know shit about this prick, Madison. Leave him the fuck alone. There's shit between the two of us that you don't know about."
"That doesn't give you the right to kick his ass. God, Dom, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you treat everyone like this?"
"Madison," Christian began. "Trust me on this. Stay out of it. Dom has his reasons."
"Yeah, like being a complete asshole? I don't get you," she turned back to Dom. "You're just one complete asshole."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian watched as she bitched at Dom. He was amazed that she would take him on. Madison showed no fear. It was like she didn't care.
"Yo, man, you here to race?"
Brian turned around to see a tall guy in jeans and a polo shirt behind him.
"Yeah."
The guy looked at him for some cash.
"How much?"
"Two grand," came the answer.
So, it hadn't changed after all this time. Dom was still gonna be one rich fuck when he got done racing.
He thumbed through his pockets and found the money. After giving it to the guy, he looked back at Dom and saw that Madison was no longer there. Neither was the guy who had been on the ground.
He looked around to see Dom looking in his direction and they made eye contact. Shit. He had been spotted. So much for shit not going down before the race. Too late for that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O'Connor. That name held a bitter taste in his mouth. Dom was already pissed that Madison was stupid enough to get involved in the conflict between he and Cameron, the last thing he needed was to have to deal with O'Connor.
Dom tapped Christian on the shoulder and nodded in Brian's direction. Christian shook his head in disgust. The balls that guy had, coming to town. What the hell was he expecting, for things to be cool between he and Dom? It wasn't going to happen.
