I quickly pulled my car up to the line, next to Brian's. I looked over at him and he smiled, it was obvious that he had never done this earthier, and under the cool exterior he was a little nervous to. I smiled back and reached over to turn on my Nos tanks. Jesse was right, I did have enough Nos to blow myself across state, but hopeful it wouldn't come to that.
Leon was listening to his scanner and finally called out to Vince "All clear! Let's go!"
Vince walked out to where we could see him and raised his arms. "On your marks" the tension was buliding in my arms and legs. I kept telling myself "This is your moment.....this is what you've waited for", "Get set" I revved my engine Mixing my Nos tanks and waiting for the final word "GO!" As soon as I saw Vince's arm came down an inch we all shifted into gear and I rammed the stick into 1st and let off the clutch as the accelerator was already plastered to the floor. Dom being seasoned veteran at this kind of thing easily took the lead took off, followed by Hector, Brian, and then myself. I managed to catch up to Brian without trouble, but Hector and Dom where a good distance ahead. I looked over and saw Brian going for his Nos. 'He's going for it to early" I though to myself. "But then again we are a long ways back...." I decided to screw and hit my Nos at the same time as Brian.
The rush of speed you get from Nos is amazing. Your whole body goes back against the seat, like when your on a roller coaster loop. We both blazed by Hector and caught up to Dom, but then Brian's car started to smoke and spark. He swayed violently back and fourth but then he straightened out. He then lost control and spun out before coming to a stop. Now it was me and Dom...I might actually win this thing.
How wrong I was, without so much as a glance at me Dom hit the button for his Nos and shot out way ahead of me, winning by a good distance. I pulled up in 2nd, followed by Hector and then Brian. I felt bad for Brian, losing his car and all....I hoped he had the money to replace it. I climbed out of my car and handed my roll of cash to Dom. Suddenly...
"Cops! Cops! Cops! Everyone get the fuck out of here!"
I quickly jumped into my car like everyone else and sped off. Not knowing the area real well I followed Brian's car. After a few moments of driving I saw Dom running from a cop car, I knew Brian had seen him to when he turned down the alley and reappeared on the other side seconds later with Dom in the car. I was parked in a dark alley a little ways away, when I saw the sops laying a road block for the two guys.
I'll never know what came over me, but they needed a distraction fast. I quickly speed down the hill towards the cops, one of them stupidly jumped out in front of my car. I quickly swerved to miss him....and hit a god damned telephone pole.
My car is totaled, considering that the Nos blew a few moments after I was clear of the car. So here I am sitting at the police station being questioned about the street racing, and top it off I know Brian and Dom saw the whole thing...man what a shity night....
Meanwhile back at the fort.....
