Stan and Koji's POV

They walked towards the the earth team's manager's office hoping for some clarification on the picture, on the strange picture of him and the current earth team's pilot. Of a picture of the smiling little girl and the seemingly adoring young man holding her close. Both we're happy, and the longer Stan looked at it the more baffled he became. "This doesn't make sense, how could Don Wei be the man in this photo, it's impossible. I mean the man is a heartless robot!"

"Yeah maybe so, but you have to admit it looks exactly like him." Koji said. Stan looked at him. "It looks exactly like he would when he was younger."

Stan relented nodding. "Yeah but I still can't believe it's him, maybe it's a younger brother or a doppelganger."

"Then why would Molly try so hard to please the man?" Stan was stumped at that, as he crossed his arms and was deep in thought. "Because Don Wei looks exactly like the man in the photo, I will you bet 50 bucks Molly's father is dead and the only reason she tries so hard to please that robot is because of the resemblance with this guy in the photo."

Koji sighed and rolled his eyes, really, Stan could be just as bad as Jordan sometimes. And on Stan went talking about how Don Wei was a robot and that he was probably a clone of the man in the photo, when they reached the earth manager's office and Stan shut up. As he had enough common sense not to say out loud his theories about a person into said person's hearing distance.

But there was no need, for the office was empty, the manager wasn't there. All that was there was a folder with a couple of papers, and most of the papers, Koji guessed,if not all were probably about his race team and business. Stan sighed as he put the photo down the stack of papers not even looking at them, "Great how else are we going to shut up Jordan's ramblings?"

Koji also sighed but decided to pick the photo up seeing as they'll need to bring it back or Molly would get suspicious. That was when something caught his eye, the folder was open of course, but instead of business ventures or race team scouts there was a photo of a smiling Molly, hair a full black color, hugging what appeared to be a laughing little girl who seemed to be hugging her neck. The little girl seemed to be wearing a school uniform, a black knee deep skirt with a black vest and a white shirt underneath, Molly who appeared to be wearing the same school's uniform was wearing boy's clothes. She was smiling a smile so beautiful it took one's breath away. As Koji picked up the folder another photo of Molly fell out.

This time it was of the girl alone wearing the same black pants, black jacket, white shirt and tie, but this time she was alone. Her hair was now dyed red and she was alone. She wasn't smiling but there was an air of mischief around her. Frowning sticking out her tongue making a face at the photographer, who he could easily guess was exasperated with the girl's antics and raising his fist in warning to her as he cursed at the stubborn 15 or 14 year old girl. Only for her to give him a triumphant smirk as the photo was taken. Koji couldn't help but laugh and smile at that mental image. Only for another paper to fall out of the folder. And what he saw made him gawk and stare, and gawk some more.

For their written in that paper were some words he couldn't believe, and he quickly turned to his best friend who was still grumbling about Don Wei not being human, and being a robot instead when Koji woke him up from his stupor. With one simple sentence:

"You owe me fifty-bucks."

Stan looked around dumbfounded as his Asian friend gave him a triumphant smile. A smile Stan couldn't understand on why. "What?"

"I said you owe me fifty-bucks."

"Yeah but why."

"Take a look at this folder."

Stan gave him a weird look as he opened the folder, and then gape and stared. For their was a photo of their beloved female pilot attached to a paper that said:

Eva Sahira Ai Wei.

Age:

15 years old

Hair color:

Black

Eye color:

Red

Height:

5'3

Weight:

90LB

Parents :

Mother:

Maya Wei

Father:

Don Wei.

It was the father thing that made him squint his eyes and gawk for a good long while. Father:Don Wei. Father: Don Wei, Father:Don Wei?! He couldn't believe it, first of because thought admittedly Don Wei was quite handsome and fairly attractive, And Eva was undoubtedly a very beautiful girl ,they looked nothing alike.

"Yeah but she could have taken after her mother. Oh and I think he's quite the catch as well." Stan turned to look at his friend incredulously, and Koji simply shrugged, "You were talking out loud." Stan shrugged as well, in a 'works for me' kind of way.

"So, their father and daughter huh?"

"You don't know that."

Koji gave him a, 'are you frickin' serious?' look. And Stan stood his ground.

"Come on the guy's a robot."

"Are you really going to go on about that?"

"Where's the proof?"

"You're holding it."

Stan relented and gave up. "Fine, but how do we know the tension between them is because their father and daughter?"

I mean Jordan could be right-"

"Snap out of it Stan!" As Koji slapped him alarmed.

Stan then shook his head, bewildered at himself. "Thanks, I needed that. I was beginning to think like Jordan!" "I know." And both shuddered at the thought of having a messed up mind as that."

"I think she knows."

"Who?"

"Eva, I think she knows Don's her father."

"How'd you figured that?"

"Simple. Her blush after Don just congratulated her on her first win... And the way she acted at Alwas."

Stan nodded and relented. "Fair enough. But do you think he knows?"

"I'm pretty sure he does now, but back then... I hope not, or otherwise you're right, he is a robot."

"I still stand to that belief."

"Still stand to what belief?" Both flinched at the voice, As Don Wei appeared obviously not happy with their shenanigans. "Seriously, what are you-" And Don froze when he saw what Koji was holding in his hands. Eyes completely shocked.

Don Wei's POV

"What the hell are you holding?" he asked, though he already knew. And he had a feeling the mechanics knew he knew. Koji said nothing as with a reckless courage that even surprised him, the mechanic or IT specialist began to read his daughter's profile. "... father, Don Wei." And again he repeated. "Father Don Wei. Care to explain sir?"

"That's none of your business. "

"But sir wouldn't you think it better for the team..."

"If we did know? What's going on between you two."

"no probably not."

"Oh but I have a feeling you that it probably would."

At that Don Wei stared at the mechanics with a sort of blind rage, but the two held their ground as they stared at him bravely, dead on. "Sir we demand to know what's going on."

At this Don couldn't help but chuckle as he gave of a butter smile. "And how would that help in any way?"

"It would help put a stop to Jordan's rambling about you two having sex."

Their was a faint silence.

"Excuse me?"

"Jordan thinks you and Eva are having a physical relationship. A sexual relationship for that matter and we want to put a stop to it.

Their was another short silence, before Don Wei ended up laughing hard, and ended up smiling as he gave them a sort of ironic smile.

"I have a feeling Eva will put a stop to it sooner or later."

they we're both silent

"A father who didn't Even recognize his own daughter."

they were both silent. Obviously the man was talking to himself and wasn't expecting them to talk to him. "I didn't even bother to visit her during those 10 years, and to top it all of, I even tried to forget about her. Again complete silence. As Stan and Koji looked at him, stunned.

he didn't care, he needed to let that out somehow, as he looked out the window , memories of days gone by fresh out of his mind dancing around him. Of when he first met Maya, of when he decided to runaway with her, break free from his parents. Of when Eva was born, her first steps, her first word. The way her little smile and eyes of Of adoration would look up at him, eyes full of trust. Trust that he abused and broke the moment he abandoned her...

"Wow Sir, I never thought you had such a past..."

"Nor that you had a heart."

Don Wei then turned around, eyes shocked as he looked at them. A blank expression on his face as he stared at them for a moment, his fCial expression betraying him. But only for a moment for it soon merged to become anger & hatred to an emotionless expression, one that he had been using most of his life, only stopping during the all brief period he had with the love of his life. His Maya and then his Eva, until he blew it the day he killed his wife...

"You killed your wife?"

Don Wei froze, but for a moment, only a brief moment, as he reminisced once again. He don't know why, but it seems like those comments and the stress of this race made him remember what he wanted to forgot, to run away from."

Outside of Don's knowledge Koji wanted to say more, to tell the guy he had to take responsibility for the death of his wife. Only to be stopped by Stan, surprisingly for it would have been the red head show puld have said it, not the mild mannered brunnete. But it seemed like the mechanic specialist knew there was more to this Blame than Don Wei would let on, if he concioualy knew they were there. So he held his tongue and asked Koji to do so too. Which the IT Specialist did. Though grumbling slightly. But only for a moment, as both heard Don Wei, ramble on and on about his grief.

Yes, he was the one who murdered his wife. He was the one who destroyed his happiness. And for what? Ambition. Why? Why did he push her to compete in that race? Why couldn't he have held his tongue? If he had just asked her not to compete, if he had just asked her not to race their instead of encourage her. Then maybe... Maybe, she'd still be alive...

Both Stan and Koji were silenced. They were I'm shock, that guilt must have been eating at him. And it would have explain why he was so averse to female pilots.. It must have been so painful.

He could have at least put up a better argument as he begged her not to. He should have begged her not to race more, instead of give in like a weak-willed wishy washy. But he gave in to her words and kind smile, and let her race. If only he hadn't, if only he had forbidden her, (Stan was about to say that. That would have been sexist, seeing as the guy, was not in control in his wife, but Don Wei had pointed that out) no matter how sexist it was. If only he had done a better job protecting her. If only he had done a better job protecting his wife. He failed, and in that way, he had killed Maya himself...

"Maya?!" That stuuned shout definitely broke him out of his stupor, as he stared at the two mechanics. "Maya was one of the greatest pilots of all time! And you, where her manager?!"

The surprised sound of the mechanics woke Don Wei from his stupor instantly as he turned to look at them slightly baffled and a little ruffled.

"Excuse me?"

"You were the manager for Maya? But I thought you were against female pilots!"

"She was my first pilot."

"Ahh." Stan and koji acknowledged nodding their heads.

"But How'd you."

"You talk to yourself sir." Koji stated."

"he's right sir, you really do." Stan agreed. Don Wei was silent for a moment, debating whether he should be angry or shocked or not. But he sighed and relented. As he let the mechanics go.

"Promise me you won't tell Eva?"

"Who?" Don looked at them annoyed and rather raffled.

"Molly, her actual name's Eva."

"Ahh. We promise we won't tell her you know now. " Stan stated.

"You have our word sir." Koji backed."

Don Wei nodded sighing, utterly exhausted as he fell to his chair.

Stan and Koji's POV

Stan and Koji just walked exhausted as Jordan was again rumbling about Don and Molly's or rather's Eva's physical relationship, out of the devil's hearings of course. But of course it had to be near their's. "Should we tell him?"

"We made a promise. And we have to keep it."

"Of course we did." Koji stated, his head drooping in despair. They'd have to put up with Jordan's ramblings and sick, sick delusions. Both Stan and Koji looked at each other for a moment before weeping in despair.
