AFTERMATH
"It appears that those men that you had encountered were part of Toto's old crew. As you all know Toto had decided to leave them, it appears though that they were a small part of a bigger system.", "What do you mean by bigger system?" Souichi was puzzled. "I mean bigger group. There are more like them across the globe. This organization
has been around longer than the ex-driver program. HQ says that they've been starting to create a bigger racket just now. That NSX you guys had tracked down appears to be a stolen ex-driver vehicle that was being transported. HeadQuarters believe that something big will happen but HQ is unsure when and is why I need all
of you to be cautious." Mr. Munakata glance at Logan and nodded at him. "So if there is something big going down will HQ send backup ex-drivers or will it just be us on our own?" Logan looked up at the chief. "HQ hasn't mentioned anything like that so I can't answer that question. Any other questions?" 'Yea when do we get to strangle them.'
Lisa thought in her head, she was pissed off after being flung by them last time. "Any other questions?" Chief asked one more time. "What happened to that guy that we had caught?" Lorna queried. "The authorities are handling him, they'll be interrogating him and he will be given a punishment. All of you are dismissed.". As the others walked out
Lorna stayed, "Grandfather?", "Yes Lorna?" "Whats an Alpha-Driver? I'm just curious because Logan had that sticker on his car." The elderly man took his pipe out of mouth. "Well... get comfortable, there's alot to explain." Lorna set herself down in the nearest chair. "Alpha-Drivers, they existed before the ex-driver program did. It was mainly an
experiment to see how effective trained drivers would be against runaway AI cars, it was a success they were very effective. If it wasn't then we wouldn't be here right now. After the Ex-Driver program was created there was no need for Alpha-Drivers, most moved on to become Ex-Drivers. Some stayed to get better training, this training was
focusing on taking down heavily armed unmanned vehicles. These vehicles were military Alpha-Drivers were trained only to take down these military vehicles if the need for such action were to ever occur. I was one of the managers of the Alpha-Driver program. I mentored Logan, he was souichi's age back then. It's nice to see he still holds up.."
"I was wondering why he drove so differently... Thank you for explaining." He'd smile "Anytime you have any questions just ask me." "I will grandfather!" Lorna exited, she walked out into the stands. She saw a light beaming from one of the pits. She noticed that it wasn't Souichi's pit, out of curiosity she went down to the fourteenth pit. She saw
Logan working his body just to fix the frontend of his car. She felt awkward just standing and watching. "Hey can you-" he looked over his shoulder to see Lorna standing there, embarrassed she walked in "So what was it like? Being an alpha driver?" Logan grabbed his hammer out of the toolbox that lay on the ground he started to
hit the chassis into shape "Well, it'd be nice if you could give me a hand. Anyway, being an Alpha driver was a lot different than this." Logan reached out his hand to try and grab a piece of sandpaper, Lorna picked up the sandpaper and handed it to him. "Thanks" He'd look over at Lorna, her eyes connected with his. The two felt a sudden shock
it stung them both in the chest. Logan would turn his head back toward what he was doing, he tried concealing this feeling by looking away. Lorna turned her head away also, she was confused by this suddenly rush of feelings. She looked back at Logan, "How different?", Logan would be sanding down a small spot of the frame. "It depends we
were required to do daily maintenance on our cars every night before patrol. We used to patrol around just in case of any runaway AI cars, It'd be quicker if we were on already on the road. It feels like being an ex-driver is easier than being an Alpha-Driver.." Lorna handed him a torque wrench he'd grab it. "Seems to me like being an Alpha-Driver
would require a lot of focus and hard-work." She'd notice that Logan removed his rear spoiler, a bigger spoiler sat next to the rear of the car. "I can install the spoiler for your car if you'd like me to.." Logan would look up "That'd be great, thanks for giving me a hand." Lorna smiled "No problem!" An hour would pass by as the two worked on the
retired police GT-R. "Hey Lorna, thanks for helping me..." he looked over at Lorna who was resting unconscious. He sighed, he picked her up in his arms, he headed toward the dorms. He entered Lorna's dorm room he lay her down on the bed softly. He looked at his watch, "Just about time..."
