Southern Knights
Ok last time Kenneth built a lancia 037 to race against Raven and team Shadow Striker.
Richard and Brandon continued driving the Camaro and the Chevelle while Kenneth sold all but the Buell, and the BTR. He pulled out a huge insurance policy on the Lancia because he heard that Raven had been running with Sinjo Chang's ex team mate.
Chapter 19: Evo II?
Kenneth was ready for the race against Raven first as he sat waiting for them to arrive. Next to the lancia sat the Chevelle and the camaro on the other side sat Salina's 280ZX.
"So Kenneth are you ready for this?" asked Brandon.
"Yea I'm ready." Said Kenneth with a sigh. He knew that this wouldn't be easy but it would keep Salina and Kizuna safe.
Just then the 260LM pulled up followed by a Velvet Black 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird. The two cars pulled up in front of the Southern Knights and Raven exited his 260LM with a cocky grin. Next the driver of the Superbird exited her car and approached Kenneth.
"Well well Kenneth it would seem that your agreement with us expired when you moved to Japan." Said the woman
"Nice to see you too Katie." Said Kenneth with a smile.
"You may have beaten me last time when I ran that stupid Mustang GT but this time I won't loose." Said Katie with a slightly nicer tone.
"Yea well we will have to see about that." Said Kenneth before looking over to Raven who was just standing there with an angry look on his face.
"Well Katie our race will have to wait first this guys got to loose if you want you can follow like you always used to." Said Kenneth before getting into the 037 and cranking the 3.7L stroker V6.
Raven got into his 260LM and pulled up to the line followed by the 037. Richard stood between the two cars and began the count down.
"5!…" both cars revved as the drives reached down for the shifter.
"4!…" Raven grip his steering wheel hard with one hand his knuckles turning white.
"3!…" Kenneth pushed play as Linkin Park/Remember the name began to play.
"2!…" Both drivers clutched in and prepped for launch.
"1!…" The Two drivers released the clutch and felt the power begin flow through the car.
"GO!" The two cars shot of the line with the 260LM taking the initial Lead on the strait.
Katie sat next to Salina talking about why she was doing this. While Richard and Brandon looked over the Superbird in awe of the true original Superbird.
"Richard do you think that Kenneth can beat a machine like this?" asked Brandon.
"Of course he can." Said Richard before returning to his chevelle.
Down on the pass Kenneth and Raven had gotten all the way to the Skate Strait with raven having just regained the lead from Kenneth by trying to ram him off the road. The two cars roared down the strait with Raven holding the lead in the 260LM. Suddenly Kenneth saw something on the ground it was oil. "He's got an Oil Slick!" yelled Kenneth before bracing for a collision with the wall. The Lancia slammed into the wall and spun twice before coming to a complete stop.
Raven had won by dirty tricks. Kenneth crash meaning that he and Katie would have to race another time. Only Sinjo and a few members of Shadow Striker had seen what really happen. Sinjo had a smile on his face while the Shadow Strikers got back into their cars and headed up to give Katie the news.
"WHAT?" yelled Katie when she heard about Ravens oil slick. She walked up to Raven and decked him in one hit.
"You lost this race because of using that oil slick of yours now you will honor the agreement as if you had lost normally… Do you understand me?" said Katie with a pissed look on her face.
Salina and the others had gone down and tacked Kenneth home. He was ok except for the cut on his arm from when he got out of the totaled Lanica.
"So what are you going to do now you need to race them again." Said Richard to his friend in the passenger seat.
"Well I got the insurance money and the money from selling the other cars I should be able to find something." Said Kenneth with a sigh
"But what about the race with Shadow Striker?" asked Richard.
"Katie is probably going to give me time to get a new ride. Infact she's most likely giving Raven the beating of his life right now. She hates people who cheat to win." Said Kenneth as the Chevelle came to a stop in front of Kenneth's home.
When Kenneth walked in he saw the message light blinking. He set the message to play and lisined.
"Yo Kenneth this is Katie we're giving you a 2 week extension until we race and don't worry Raven is keeping to the agreement of him loosing the race. Well can't wait to run against you again…"
The message ended Salina entered the living room and sat down no the couch with Kizuna in her arms.
"Well she looks tired." Said Kenneth as he smiled and sat next to his wife. Kenneth pulled out his Laptop from the Coffee table in front of the couch and looked for the inventories of local dealerships.
"Hey babe what do you think of this?" said Kenneth as he showed Salina the 1991 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II.
"It looks nice but why would you want a Benz?" asked Salina.
"Well it's a 190 Evo II it can be fast if needed but it is still a Benz so it's a good family car. If we have to we can get away from trouble and still be comfortable." Said Kenneth before he pulled up the stats on the 190 E.

"Well I think I've found our next car." Said Kenneth with a smile
"But what will you race against that Katie girl?" asked Salina as she stood up and headed to put Kizuna to bed. Kenneth followed her and said, "That 190 sounds like a car I could run fast…"
Yea you though i meant a LanEvoII didn't you. Ok that's chapter 19 everyone. I'm looking for someone to beta read my story so that my quality can improve I need some help here people.
