Alone once again Savannah heaved a sigh and leaned back in her seat as she wondered what else she could do with her day, they didn't need any food as the cupboards in their apartment were already full, she chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, before she could talk herself out of the decision she threw back the last of her coffee and ran out the door.

Just as the engine of Han's RX-7 came to life Savannah opened the door and jumped in causing Han to give her a look of shock, she turned to him with a smile as she pulled the seatbelt around her body and plugged it.

"Erm, what are you doing?" Han asked turning his whole body so it faced her an arm resting on the steering wheel.

"Well you told me to stay out of trouble and there is only one way for that to happen, when I'm working on cars, you just so happen to be building a Honda NSX and my hands are too clean." Savannah said with a smile as she turned to look out the window, with a small nod of her head that motioned for Han to go. He said nothing as he smiled shaking his head as he put the car in gear and navigated his way to the main roads.

They drove in silence for a while as Savannah gazed out of the window at all the sights that Japan had to offer, she let out a content sigh as she turned her attention back to Han, she studied him for a moment while his concentration was on the road ahead of them, Savannah turned her attention back to the window and the scenes behind it as Han glanced at her.

"So you going to tell me what's so complicated about you and your racing?" Han asked as his gaze drifted from his new driving companion to the road ahead.

"Why so interested in me?" Savannah asked giving Han her full attention, she studied him once again, the fact he didn't seem to talk much gave her some indication about the sort of her person he was but she wasn't all that sure, for the first time in her life she wasn't confident about her ability to read someone.

"You made yourself interesting when you said it was complicated, I mean what sort of answer is that, it just invites the question why." Han said with what she guessed was a half hearted chuckle.

"And my first answer still stands, why would I tell someone who I have just met my life story?" She questioned back with a smug and victorious look on her face, which was short lived when Han commented back.

"But you felt completely at ease with chasing me down and jumping in the car, no explanation." Again there was that half hearted chuckle like he was trying to make light of what he had just said so it didn't come across as insulting.

"I like to live in the fast lane, sometimes I do things without thinking, plus I'm a pretty good judge of character, I wouldn't have jumped in the car if I thought you would hurt me, I've learned the signs…" Savannah trailed off realising she got carried away with her explanation.

Han looked over at her and watched her whole body language change, what had once been open and upto to conversation now changed so she was closed off, suggesting him not too push the matter so he didn't, with a small sigh he turned his attention back to the road ahead, something inside of him didn't like the way Savannah had clammed up and the pain that was clearly written on her face when he wasn't looking at her directly, the mask she wore slipping slightly when his attention was on the road. It was strange he thought, that it bothered him so much to see a girl he knew nothing about hurting, that's when he remembered what Kayleigh had said the night before, about how Savannah's stepfather had been abusive, but why would that have anything to do with racing.

"Can you remember what I told you the night of the race?" Han asked changing the subject from her to himself something he rarely done.

"Not much was said that night apart from the cutting into my fight." Savannah said her tone of voice suggested she didn't want to talk anymore.

"I told you I only race when it's important." Han said cryptically leaving the comment open for Savannah to say something, hoping it would open her up a little.

"And?" Savannah asked looking over at Han once more with a shrug,

"Okay, Okay I'll bite what would be important enough for you to race?" Savannah said finally her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Family, I've raced with and for my family, they are all I have, some are here like Sean and Twinkie and others are living a far, we talk from time to time, but I know if I need them they will come running." Han explained a soft but sad smile on his face as he thought about the found memories he had with his old crew.

"Must be nice having so many people love and care about you." Savannah sighed as she let her gaze fall to her lap.

"Oh come on you're telling me that you have no one that loves you, no one that would do anything for you." Han said with a scoff.

"Well apart from the guys at the garage and Kayleigh, no, I have no family, my mum was a drug addict and died of an overdose when I was younger and my step dad well he wasn't anything to shout about." Savannah shrugged again that mask of not caring slipping into place.

"What about your dad?" Han asked curiously.

"Never knew him, apparently he left my mum when she told him she was pregnant, some sort of high school dropout, drug addict, street racer, but then again I don't know weather my mum was telling the truth, all I have is a last name and an old newspaper article that my mum kept." Savannah explained leaning her head against the cold window staring out at the whizzing streets, hoping it would clear away the thoughts that were now speeding around her mind.

After a long silence, Han pulled into a garage, Savannah's interest was completely taken over when she seen the array of cars parked on ramps and in a small line, and that's when for the first time since she left her home and family behind she felt the pang of homesickness in her gut, and she began to question, her decision to come to Japan on a lead on her father's whereabouts was she setting herself up for yet more disappointment?

Savannah was so lost in thought that she didn't realise that Han had got out of the car until the passenger door opened, she pushed the increasing doubt in her mind aside put a smile of wonder on her face and got out of the car and began looking around immediately.
