RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth
A/N: Just a heads up kinda a long chapter and the start is mostly the same.
Chapter Ten: Wanna Race?
Ruby's head felt groggy as she sat up. Ilia had them rework the plans until 5 in the morning and her family caught her lying and sneaking out. Keep it a secret until college and then you can disappear forever and hopefully, no one will ever bother them.
Ruby got up and changed into some fresh clothes, she went over to her door and put her hand on the doorknob. She weighed her options of staying in her room all day or going out and risking the chance of being yelled at by her mom. Ruby looked over to her window that leads to the back yard, now there's an exit I can use. Ruby opened the window but before she could even think about scaling down, she heard a loud laugh.
Summer was standing to the side looking up at her. "You know I was hoping that you would stop sneaking out after we moved in with Tai and Yang but I guess I was too hopeful." Summer smiled at Ruby while walking over to some freshly planted roses…right under her window. "Its fall now but I planted these roses so that you will stop sneaking out. Ruby, I'm sorry to say this but you're grounded, no more sneaking around and if you want to go out you have to take Yang."
Ruby looked at her mother in disbelief. "I'm not ten I don't need a babysitter."
"It seems to me like you do Ruby…I worry about you sweetie. In recent years you've been going out more and coming home late, I just don't want to lose you like…" Her mother's words trailed off but Ruby didn't need her to finish her sentence to understand what she was saying.
"I got it I'll stay in inside all day if that's what you want." Ruby's voice seeped with anger before she slammed the window shut, she heard her mother yell her name once more but Ruby ignored the plea.
Ruby took out her phone and immediately texted Blake.
me: im grounded
kittycat: Why?
me: because i was caught yesterday
kittycat: oh, well that's not good we have to get the quota for tonight's races or else the Boss and Cinder won't be happy.
me: i know that, i'll have to figure something out
kittycat: you better we won't reach the quota if you're not there.
me: yeah yeah i'll be there tonite meet me by the garages
Ruby threw her phone to the side hoping it would land on her bed, but luck wasn't on her side. she watched as her phone ricochet off the wall and back to her hitting her leg. Ugh, today can't get any worse.
"Ruby!" Or maybe it can. Ruby got up to the sound of Yang's voice calling her.
Ruby walked to the door but didn't unlock it. "What."
"Are you not going to open the door?" Ruby could hear the confusion and disappointment in Yang's voice.
"I'd rather not, what do you want anyway?" Ruby was curious as to why Yang wanted to talk to her, is she still trying to be my friend, pathetic.
"Don't you want to go out and have fun, you can't do that unless I'm around." Ruby ponder her options which were risk getting a bunch of cuts across her body or go out with/possible ditch Yang.
Ruby cracked a smile knowing exactly where to go to ditch the buffoon. "Sure, lets head to the mall."
Ruby kept her devilish smile on her face as she walked out of the room, she was happy to leave the house and she couldn't wait to leave Yang's side. It was very apparent that Yang was excited as she was radiating brighter than the sun, Ruby felt like she had to shield her eyes from the beaming blonde.
"Awesome…um a-are you inviting Blake to come along." Ruby looked over to see a small grin and pink cheeks, it made Ruby wonder what Yang wanted with Blake.
"Sure let me give her a call." Before Ruby could even get her phone off the floor Yang spoke once more.
"Also the ice queen is coming, she said this could count as your 'mandatory hang' whatever that means."
Ruby frowned at the mention of Weiss but didn't complain. "Alright, I guess." Ruby was getting kind of excited to see the snow princess on her day off, it was a strange feeling.
The trip to the mall was filled with silence save for the radio quietly playing The Achieve Men, Ruby seriously disliked the band but the rule of the car is whoever is driving is the ruler of the radio.
Once they finally reached the mall, Ruby sighed in relief at the beautiful site as she was now free from the terrible music. "Oh, let me call Blake real quick." Ruby got her phone out and called Blake.
After a few rings, Blake finally answered. "What do you need this time Ruby."
Ruby giggled a little but sound offended when she spoke. "Wow no hi I missed you, rude."
Nothing but white noise could be heard. "…I'm hanging up."
"NO WAIT doesn't chicken sound nice at seven." Ruby spoke quickly not wanting to call again if Blake really did hang up.
"Okay I'll pick you up at seven…where exactly?"
"Bistro Café."
"So in the abandoned part of the mall at seven. Okay…you're not with someone are you?" Blake's tone was curious and a bit alarmed.
"I'm with Yang and Weiss is coming over soon as well."
"Hm, seems a bit messed up that you're leaving them?"
"Alright see ya soon, bye Blake." Ruby smiled but felt guilty on the inside, she may work for a gang but that doesn't mean she wants to be a terrible person.
When she looked over she noticed Yang's big smile and slightly red cheeks.
"Are you sick or something your face is red."
Yang's face turned even redder. "N-no it's just hot out here let's wait inside."
"…Right," Ruby went along with it not really caring about whatever was going on with Yang. While walking towards the mall Ruby pulled out her phone to check the time 6:50 we have to meet Ilia at 7:30, even if we lose them quickly, we won't have too much time…what do we do? Ruby's thoughts continued like this until she ran into something before she could yell at them, she looked up and saw the last person she wanted to see.
"What?" Weiss said giving a distasteful look.
"Damn." Ruby mumbled to herself. Weiss got here before Blake, this was going to make it harder to leave them.
"Pleased to see you too," Weiss said while rolling her eyes. "Let's just get this hang out day over with."
Ruby started to fidget. "Blake isn't here yet."
"I'll wait for her while you guys do your thing." Yang chimed in.
"No offense but I'm pretty sure Blake doesn't like you."
Yang's large smile turned into a small quivering smile. "Make's sense, I wouldn't like me too."
Ruby frowned, she really disliked the sad smile Yang gave her it was the total opposite of her usual self. Then again, I don't really know her.
"Come on Ruby lets go." When Ruby turned to Weiss, she didn't see pity in Weiss's face it was more disappointment, like her mom when she sees Ruby after long nights and principal office trips.
Ruby didn't look back at Yang she just walked forward deeper into the mall.
me: change of plans go 2 the front of the mall and met yang there.
kittycat: Why? What happen?
me: please trust me on this
kittycat:…Okay. What's the new plan.
me: i honestly dont know
kittycat: -_-
me: give me a few moments please
kittycat: Fine…
Ruby needed a plan and quick, the way she saw it was one: run away or two: take them with her…
"I-I, Weiss would yo-you like to come with me…somewhere special, I think?" Ruby's words fumbled out, she couldn't believe what she was just doing.
When she looked at Weiss's for her response, she found Weiss slowly backing away.
"Are you going to kidnap me?" Weiss's voice sounded concern as she was slowly reaching into her purse.
Ruby looked at her mortified. "Why would I kidnap you, if I wanted money I would kidnap Velvet and ask Coco for money."
No longer backing away Weiss put a scowl on her face while putting her hands back to her side. "I feel a little insulted. Anyway, what do you mean somewhere special."
"The gang sort of makes us race, and we need to go, I kind of doubt you could make Yang disappear so do something please." Ruby pleaded.
"Yang knows."
Ruby stood there. Yang knows…why hasn't she said anything…I don't have time for this. "O-Okay, well then I guess let's leave now then. Oh, wait…"
"I know about Blake too…Yang was supposed to deal with her." Weiss butted in; Ruby stopped in her tracks anger setting in.
"If Yang hurts Blake in any way she used to hurt me, I'll make you both regret ever living your pathetic little lives."
"Yang isn't going to hurt her…I think she just said she was going to tell Blake after we were partnered up with each other." Although her voice was calm and steady, Weiss's eyes told a different story. Ruby felt ashamed, Weiss was looking at her like Ruby looks at Cinder…fear and dread.
Ruby looked at her phone. "Whatever we don't have time for this. Let's just go."
As soon as they made it back to the front of the mall Ruby found Blake and Yang arguing in front of everybody there.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER!" Blake was shouting. I guess she found out.
"OH WELL SORRY FOR NOT TELLING YOU, WHEN YOU KEPT IGNORING ME, I TRIED TO TELL YOU. NOT MY FALUT YOU WOULDN'T SIT STILL AND LISTEN." Yang was looking furious, but she didn't clench her fist the way she would with Ruby. How unfair.
Ruby walked up to the pair without letting either of them continue she grabbed them by their hands and dragged both of them out of the front doors of the mall.
"Shut up both of you, we don't have time for this." Ruby's voice came out in a growl quieting both girls in an instant.
"Ruby, Yan-" Blake started.
"Yeah yeah she knows who cares at least you're not being blackmailed." Ruby didn't hear another peep out of anyone, she felt guilty but she didn't care, life's just unfair like that.
As soon as they got in Blake's car Ruby took out her phone to make a call.
"Hey prepare two extra suits and masks"
"Who for?"
"It's none of your goddamn business that's who it's for."
"Details."
"The first do light yellow and dark orange. The second do white and light blue."
"Understood."
"Have it done in 10 minutes…or else."
Ruby hung up the phone not waiting for a response, she watched Blake give her concerned glances. Ruby was getting angrier by the second, she wanted to punch and shout but now was not the time, she had some races to win.
After a long silent ride to the casino, they made it over to the secret entrance, carefully sneaking Yang and Weiss to Ruby's room. Upon entering the room, they saw two crisp suits hanging in the open closet.
"You two get dressed here, me and Blake are going into her room across the way be ready in 5 minutes. Weiss hid your hair." Ruby slammed the door shut behind her not waiting for their responses and went off into Blake's room.
"Ruby," Blake spoke quietly behind her. "Please tell me what's wrong."
"She could've blackmailed me or you, but she choose me, I'm pissed off."
"Ruby…I don't know what to say to make you feel better."
"That's all right, I'm going to make Weiss's life a living hell at school. Plus, I'm getting some info on her and her family. Oh, how I'm going to laugh when karma gets her."
Ruby looked over at Blake to see a terrified expression. "Ruby, this isn't like you calm down and think this through properly. Just because we work for bad people doesn't mean we are bad people."
Ruby frowned. Of course, she doesn't understand she's not being blackmailed. "Fine I'll think before I act, hurry up and let's go I don't want Ilia yelling at me…where's my cloak?"
"I'm pretty sure it's in your room." Blake said with a more relieved look on her face.
Ruby walked across the hall to find Yang and Weiss already dressed.
Yang wore a light-yellow dress shirt untucked with the first two buttons undone, it was accompanied by a dark orange vest and no tie, they also gave Yang some dark yellow gloves, her pants were brown with dark yellow stripes. The mask they gave her had dark orange on one side and dark yellow on the other.
"Wow, your suit is kind of ugly." Ruby commented before looking at Weiss
Weiss had a pure white suit perfectly set in place accompanied with a pair of white gloves, the only color on her was the light blue vest and tie…and her father's red cloak.
Ruby stared. "You look good…I guess."
Ruby heard footsteps coming up behind her. "Wow Ruby I'm surprised you haven't killed her for wearing your fathers' cloak."
Ruby blinked feeling a little calmer than before. "It's fine…it looks good with the suit, plus now she's hiding her hair, now let's go."
"Wait don't we need cool code names." Yang asked before Ruby could walk away.
Ruby thought for a moment and proceeded to point at Yang. "Your codename is Golden Flames. Blake grab the red color hair spray and change Yang's tip while I think of a name for Weiss."
"Wait you're not doing anything to my hair." Yang walked backward away from Ruby and the doorway.
Ruby looked Yang dead in the eyes before proceeding. "I'm not doing it, Blake is. It comes out after a wash. Blake sometimes uses it when we work."
Blake came through the door with the hair spray. "Come on Yang people would recognize you."
Yang laughed. "This isn't some superhero movie. They could probably recognize me even with the red."
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND SUCK IT UP!" Ruby clenched her fist as she shouted, they needed to leave soon or else Blake and her will receive punishment.
Ruby watched Yang shrink down from her yelling and then sit on her bed as Blake proceeded to dye her tips and other parts of her hair.
Ruby felt a hand on her shoulder it was a cool touch. "Weiss…your name is White Rose."
"Why not Ice Queen?" Yang asked looking annoyed, probably from the hair dye.
Blake was the one to answer Yang's question. "There is only one Queen…also people would guess its Weiss."
Ruby watched the light bulb slowly click in Yang's mind. "Oh gotcha. Then why White Rose."
Ruby shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know fits I guess. We need to leave now."
They all put on their masks and headed down the hallway leading out to the private garage as soon as they step through the door Ruby could hear bickering. Turning the corner, she immediately found the source of the noise it was Sun and Ilia.
"We can't wait any longer shoot them a text or something!" Ilia shouted.
Sun was now shouting back. "No, we can all get punished together like good little gang members!"
"No need we're here." As soon as Ruby spoke up their shouting stopped. She noticed both Ilia and Sun's eyes go wide when the others came around the corner.
Sun began to point and shout upon the arrival of Weiss and Yang. "WHO ARE THEY? WHAT'S GOING ON? WE ARE SO DEAD!"
"Shut up. Let's just go already." Ruby wasn't in the mood to deal with everyone, rather than grabbing her motorcycle she went into a red Mustang. The car had a red neon light underneath with long bear claw scratches on the sides, it was the gang's signature sign. Ruby pulled up beside Weiss motioning her in the car.
"So…ready to race?" Ruby asked as Weiss stepped in the vehicle.
"I suppose this could be fun."
Ruby watched Weiss stare out the window as she drove off ahead of everybody.
"Ruby, what did Sun mean by punishment."
Ruby glanced over to find Weiss looking back with her mask off, a strand of pure silver hair falling in front of her eyes. Would it be weird if I moved it…probably.
"Put your mask back on, and anyone who fails the Queen receives punishment. Blake, Sun and Ilia get beat, while my punishment varies."
"Why does yours vary?" Weiss asked through the muffled mask.
"Cinder gives me my punishments, while Emerald and Mercury take care of them." Ruby felt uncomfortable talking about this with Weiss. "Let's stop this topic."
Weiss became quite all Ruby could hear was the sound of the purring engine as they drove down abandon roads. Ruby liked the silence it was giving her a moment to calm down and get her mind ready for the race.
"Oh right." And the silence was ruined. "You didn't have the chance to answer my question on the first day of school."
Ruby thought for a moment trying to remember what the question was, ultimately giving up. "What was the question?"
Weiss sighed before speaking. "Why do you switch moods so fast. Your kind one minute and the next you could be beating someone up, I just don't understand, it makes you very…unpredictable."
Ruby did wonder for a moment why she was like that, but all of her wondering lead to one conclusion. One person who broke her, beat her, and made Ruby feel so small.
"…Cinder. She makes me so angry, so sad. She makes me hate myself. But then I have to go home and act like I'm okay, so I don't worry my mom. Thinking and acting like that for three years and counting…it would make anyone bipolar or a bit unstable.
"…Makes…present tense." Ruby's stomach dropped, now she knows…Cinder still makes me feel that way.
Ruby looked over at the slumped Weiss and no longer wanted the silence. "So um how did you figure out it was me and Blake."
Weiss looked over at Ruby, she didn't know what kind of face Weiss was making…this made Ruby uneasy.
Weiss didn't get the chance to answer as Ruby approached a crowded area full of cars and sketchy people.
Ruby cleared her throat. "Alright stay close to me and don't talk to anyone. Where I go you follow…don't leave my side." Ruby felt her face go a little hot at that last statement, shaking away the feeling she went to find a spot to park.
They both stayed quiet for a few moments until Weiss spoke up. "I won't leave your side…I promise."
Ruby's heart raced at the statement. Calm down, nothing to get worked up about. Why am I feeling like this?
Taking in a deep breaths Ruby was starting to calm down, she felt a cool hand on her shoulder, it felt nice. Feeling better Ruby looked over at Weiss one last time. "Alright let's do this."
As soon as Ruby got out all of the people around her backed away that was usual but what she didn't expect was all of the gasps around her.
Shit, maybe I should have told her to stay in the car. No, I would feel bad leaving her in there.
"Move." Ruby's voice came out commanding as she began to make her way towards Ilia. As she moved through, she felt an arm link around hers. Ruby looked to the side to see Weiss.
"I kept falling behind…sorry." She whispered.
Ruby sighed but continued forward. She finally caught up to where Ilia parked. A huge crowd had formed as soon as the rest of the gang members gathered.
"Alright, people step right up. If I call your number it means you get to race, The Monkey King, or Panther, or THE RED REAPER!" Ilia shouted hyping up the already energetic crowd.
"Who are the other two." A voice shouted from within the crowd.
"Um…" Ilia looked over at Ruby for some kind of answer.
"Who said that?" Ruby asked in a monotone voice
A familiar person stepped up to the front of the crowd. "Don't be upset it just me The Devil's Goat."
Ruby could feel anger rising within her but before she could say something a fist was connecting to Adam's face.
Yang stood over him. "You're supposed to have a mask on, punishment is in order."
"HA, you must some new idiot. I don't belong to The Grimm anymore, the new gang I'm in is going to take ca-"
Yang grabbed his collar and punched him again before he could finish his sentence.
"YOU BITCH ST-" Another punch. Yang didn't stop this time.
Ruby was scared of Yang right now Adam's face was becoming unrecognizable. He was passed out now Ruby could tell. The blood was staining Yang's yellow gloves. Ruby's stomach began to turn, she felt Weiss's hand tighten around her arm. When was the last time she saw Yang like this full of anger…oh yeah, last spring was the last time I saw her like this.
"Enough," Blake spoke up grabbing Yang's shoulder. "Let this be an example to everyone else here, don't ask questions and don't go against The Grimm."
Yang dropped Adam and walked back to Blake's car.
Ilia was the one to break the silence looming over everyone. "Ahem well let's get on with the racing."
Ruby grabbed Blake and pulled her to the side. "What the hell was that about."
"She went off on her own, not my problem."
Ruby clenched her fist. "That is your problem to deal with, don't think the Boss won't be informed about this."
"What are you going to tell her."
"What is your problem, you know what I don't care. Go take your shit somewhere else, I don't have time for this."
Ruby turned and headed back to her car. As soon as she slammed the car door she let out a long scream. Ruby rested her head against the wheel hoping to calm down but luck was not on her side as she listened to the passenger car door open and shut.
Ruby sighed. "Blake if I farted that would be the biggest shit I could give on why you're pissed off."
"Well I'm not Blake I'm the person who promised not to leave your side tonight."
Ruby looked up to find Weiss in the passenger side.
"I'm sorry Yang acted out, she could never keep her temper in check, she always acts before she thinks which has caused you problems."
Ruby was dumbfounded. "Why are you apologizing for Yang's screw up."
"I don't know, I feel responsible for why Yang and Blake are both upset and acting this way."
Ruby didn't get the chance to press further as there was a light tap on her window. She rolled it down to find Ilia standing there.
"Hello Rainforest."
"Tell me full details later, for now, you have a race to win against a guy who owes us a lot of money."
"Right the Ark Angel dude."
"Correct, just stick to the plan and you'll be alright."
Ruby nodded and rolled up her window. She drove over to the starting line, when she pulled to a stop she went over to the glove compartment and pulled out a small police scanner.
"Ruby, what kind of race is this?"
"It's called Flying Pigs. We get a cop to follow us and the first one to lose the cop and make it back wins. They know when we get a cop following us because there's a police scanner in that shack over there. The person in charge shoots out a red light when someone's got a cop and when they lose them a blue light is shone, the person in charge of the shack scanner changes and is random so no one cheats. Except The Grimm lackeys are always in charge of the shack so we always for sure win."
"So, what's Ilia plan."
"Everyone always goes speeding through places with lots of civilians, that's the fastest way to get a cop, so I'm supposed to give Ark boy a head start so that he doesn't see me go through a back alley. We chill there until we hear a fake police call about my car, then we chill a little bit longer until we here the fake cop say they lost me."
Weiss held a hand against her chin. "Brilliant and no one ever catches on?"
"Some have but anyone who speaks out against The Grimm ends up in a hospital…sick, very very sick."
Talking helped Ruby feel at ease, it didn't feel like she was gonna race it felt like she was gonna chill and watch tv. It made her feel better about the whole ordeal.
"Sick. Not beaten?"
Ruby looked over at Weiss. "No not beaten, it would look very shady and the police would be involved. So we spread a little sickness to them."
"Do you guys play this often?"
"No, if we did we would have been caught a long time ago."
Ruby listened to another car engine rev up. It was showtime.
Ruby focused her attention forward as Ilia went in between the two cars.
"ON YOUR MARKS!"
Ruby tensed up at Ilia's words
"GET SET!"
Letting out a deep a breath she relaxed.
"GO!"
Ruby let out a little laugh as she sped forward, what a thrill.
After watching the other car get ahead Ruby drifted into a small side street and quietly parked her car. After turning off the engine she turned on the police scanner.
"So, what do you wanna talk about." Ruby asked while taking off her seatbelt and relaxing in her chair.
"Well for starters who's in that car watching us." Weiss asked pointing to a car across the street. In it Ruby could see two figures just like them watching closely. Ruby grabbed Weiss's hand to stop her from pointing.
"Weiss look at me, make it seem like we didn't notice them." Ruby pulled out her phone and began to text Ilia.
me: hey we got 2 peeps watch us
useless lesbian: Oh no, are they approaching you?
me: no
useless lesbian: Did you actually look.
Ruby sighed and peeked up at the car and to her surprise they were getting out of the car and heading towards them. "Oh shit."
"Ruby what do we do."
me: oh shit
Before Ruby could even think about turning on her car she heard a tap on the window. "Weiss do they look like police officers."
"Worse they're our classmates."
Ruby let out a long sigh as rolled down her window. "Can I help you." As she looked over at the figures, she noticed it was the quiet kid and energetic ginger
"Can you play fairly against our friend, we get that he owes you a lot of money-"
"Let me stop you there, he owes so much money that we might have to put him to work under our 'care', even if he won this race he still owes too much money. So, no I don't want to waste my time and effort on him."
"What about me." Ruby turned to Weiss. What is this idiot thinking? "If he loses to me, I could pay off his debt."
Ruby was dumbfounded. "This kid owes us 10,000 dollars."
Weiss huffed. "Mere pocket change."
This is why Ruby hated rich kids.
The energetic ginger spoke up. "Wowie, why do you have so much money." The girl squinted her eyes and backed away. "Do you sell drugs."
"I WOULD NEVER," Weiss shouted. "The nerve of this girl."
"Look who's talking." Ruby mumbled under her breath. She sighed and pulled out her phone to see several messages from Ilia.
useless lesbian: ANSWER ME!
me: wot
useless lesbian: Don't what me, did they leave? was it cops? TELL ME
me: just some friend of the ark dude they want us 2 play fair :(
useless lesbian: Alright then I'm calling off the guy in the shack, you better win or so help me
me: my guest is the 1 racing
useless lesbian: No
me: they got the money if they lose
useless lesbian:…fine…
Ruby smiled. "Well I got the okay White Rose, you are in the clear to race, now back off my car…" Ruby looked over at them waiting for their response.
"Right, I'm Silent Ninja and sh-"
The ginger cut the ninja off. "I'm THUNDER THIGHS!"
He slapped his hand against his face. "No, she's Thunder Road."
"Right, welp we gotta go if we wanna win." Ruby rolled up her window and got out of her car. "Common snowflake we don't got all night."
After exchanging seats, Ruby watched Weiss grip her hands on the steering wheel. "You do know how to drive right?"
Weiss sighed and started the car. "Of course I know…I just don't drive often."
"We're screwed."
Weiss took in a deep breath and started going out to the streets, just as the scanner went off.
"We have a 505 down the highway. In pursuit."
"10-4"
"The driver is not pulling over, 10-11"
"Description of the vehicle, blue with white and gold stripes on the car. Neon lights under the vehicle."
Ruby frowned. "We need to get a cop fast."
"Why?"
"That 505 is code for reckless driving, which may mean the other kid already has police after him."
Ruby watched Weiss tense up as she slowly increased their speed. Soon they were going 80 in a 35 but there were no police around.
"Dammit, it's always important to be the first or else the police officers will be busy with the other guy." Ruby was growing frustrated; they were going to lose at this rate and The Grimm never lost. I'm going to get punished.
Then Ruby heard a quite serein, but it grew louder and louder. Eyes growing Ruby panicked. "Weiss pick up speed now."
"O-okay."
Just as Ruby thought all of Ark's police were head their way.
"We now have a possible 510."
"Is that good or bad Ruby."
Ruby put on a big grin. "That's fantastic they think we're racing!"
"But we are doing that."
"In pursuit of the second vehicle, red with black claw marks. May be a possible Grimm member."
Ruby giggled with glee. "Alright Weiss get ready to follow all of my instructions, DO NOT HESITATE for a second."
"Alright."
As Ruby gave instruction, she felt genuine joy, when was the last time she felt this excitement this thrill, its all been so boring for the last year and a half. She couldn't stop the ever-growing smile and laughter.
Looking back she noticed there were only a few cops left and pretty soon they'll be near the tunnel.
"Alright Weiss this next part is really important, you're going to slam on the brakes for a few seconds and then turn into the tunnel to your left."
Weiss just shook her head in response to Ruby, she was scared and it made Ruby feel a bit guilty but Weiss did put herself in this position.
"ALRIGHT NOW!" Ruby shouted.
Weiss braced herself as the car jerked forward from the hard brake.
"Now GO GO GO!"
They turned into the tunnel as they heard the cars slam into each other behind them, Ruby could only imagine the damage to the cars. Ruby put the thought in the back of her mind as she gave instruction on how to get out the tunnel and back to the racing grounds.
"11-99 suspect lost."
After hearing the code Ruby became upset and turned the scanner off. The rest of the way there they both remained quiet. This gave Ruby the chance to check her phone and it didn't seem great so far as she noticed 8 new messages and 4 missed calls.
Great, we're in deep shit now.
A/N: Sorry for being away for longer than I intended. The chapter was coming out the way I wanted so I took a break and wrote down how I wanted this story to go. After doing that I came back and started working on this chapter again. I'm not sure when the next chapter will come out so please be patient with me, I'm a disorganized mess. Anyway thank you for the follows and favs(even though I've been out for so long). I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
