CHAPTER 10

Friday came round quickly, Sariah, Dom and Conner had been to the solicitors and signed all the papers for the garage making them all equal partners, they had ordered all the equipment she needed for the design studio. She had decorated it to how she liked it. It was just a case of waiting for the orders to come rolling in. The team had kept her busy telling her the kind of designs they wanted for their cars Letty wanted a Chinese female warrior, Dom wanted a running black bear, Vince wanted a sliver/black dragon, Leon wanted a red eagle and bran wanted a Chinese warrior. Sariah decided to change her angel on her car to a black phoenix with black flames, Conner was ok with his red/orange dragon.

'Sariah, babe you up here?'

Sariah was startled out of her thoughts.

'There you are!' Letty said wiping her oily hands with an equally oily rag

'Hey' Sariah said with a tiered look on her face as she pushed her hair back from her face

She got up from her chair and walked over to Letty who was looking at some of her designs that were spread around the room.

'Yeah ready for tonight girl?' Letty said playfully punching her arm

'Yeah, I just need a shower to wake my self up then everyone better stand back!' she laughed

'Girl your gonna smoke 'em, what you wearing?' Letty asked

'Haven't decided, but some thing not to revealing but equally as teasing!' she grinned

Just then Dom and Conner came up the stairs into the studio.

'Man you've been busy have you eaten today' Conner said looking round at the designs in amazement

'ummm I don't know, can't remember' Sariah looked squarely at Dom

'Ready to loose tonight bro?' she said with a serious look on her face

'Loose, me? We'll see' he said

They all laughed and headed back to the house.

Sariah went into her room after eating and lead down for a bit. She drifted off to sleep but was woken up by screaming outside her bedroom door. Then suddenly her bedroom burst open and Letty came running in jumped over her and hide behind her. Then Leon came running in with a water pistol squirting it everywhere.

'Hey your getting my room wet' she yelled

'Leon get out, you getting everything wet' Letty screamed and laughed at the same time.

Sariah got up off of her bed and left them to it. She went into the bathroom and switched the shower on. As she undressed Sariah thought about what she was going to wear. She decided on her black fitted combat trousers and her purple halter neck top.  She tied her hair up out of the way and steeped into the warm shower.

Later that evening whilst Sariah was getting ready there was a knock on her door.

'Come in' she said quietly

She smiled when she saw Maria's reflection in the mirror; she was dressed in a scruffy t-shirt and jeans.

'Hey hadn't you better start getting ready' she said turning round and giving Maria her full attention.

'I'm not going tonight. Me and Mia are getting on really well so I decided to stay in with her tonight she doesn't like to go and watch the racing anymore.'

'Oh ok, but you'll be ready to celebrate my win when I get back?' Sariah said with a grin

'Hell yeah you try and stop me' she said laughing

'I'm glad you and Mia are getting on great she's not as bad as I said she was when we first moved to San Francisco is she?'

Maria started laughing

'What?' Sariah said with an innocent look on her face

'The exact words you used were. Miserable, preppy tart who needed a long hard screw!'

'Oh god I did! Do you remember Conner telling me off after I said that?'

'Yeah I had to stop my self from laughing! You know put the serious adult face on!'

Maria left the room and Sariah finished piling her hair up on top of her head out of the way, she heard Dom shout that they were leaving in 10 minutes.  She felt a wave of nervousness pass through her but that was it she was ready for this. Was the LA street racing scene ready for Sariah Torretto?

As they pulled into the road where everyone met. They were greeted with a round of applause Dom and Conner got out of their cars and everyone started patting Conner on the back and welcoming him back.

Dom was whispering with a couple of guys that Sariah recognized one was Hector, another was Edwin and the others were some guys Dom used to go to school with.

As Sariah slowly walked over to the group, heads in the crowd turned. Nobody knew who she was; all they knew was that she had arrived with Dom.

Dom looked up and saw his sister walking towards them.

'Hey guys' he bellowed

'Do you all remember my baby sister Sariah?'

Everyone went silent.

Hector walked over to Sairah. He stood in front of her and turned his head to look at Dom

'Is she really related to you? Surely not she is far too beautiful'

The crowd gave a big 'wooooooooo' and lots of whistles

Dom laughed

'Ok ok. Hector you hold the cash tonight, seeing as your too slow to do a runner with it.'

The whole crowd erupted with cheers.

Sariah wasn't surprised to see that everyone was there for her brother. Dom gathered everybody round and explained the rules for tonight's race.

'Ok who's in?' he shouted

A couple of blokes that Sariah didn't recognize stepped forward and handed hector their money. Edwin was also in. Just as they thought that was it.

'Wait, doesn't the new girl get a chance to answer' Sariah shouted

Dom spun round in amazement, he looked hard at Sariah.

'You want in?' he said slowly

'What think I can't win?' she snapped

Dom took her to one side

'I didn't mean that. I meant you don't have any cash.'

'I do have my pink slips!'

Dom laughed 'ok you're in, but you ain't getting your car back when I win'

Sariah raised one eyebrow 'when you win?'

They walked back to their cars; the crowd had already dispersed ready for the race.

Sariah wasn't nervous at all as she pulled up to the start line. There were three cars between her and a Dom but she could still see him.

Her breath shortened as the guy in front raised his arms. This was it her life in LA was about to start properly!

MMMMMMM Will she chicken out or will she race?
