Fast and the Furious: Diesel Queen

Chapter 7- Road Hammer

To be honest, it is not hard to spot me at a truck stop. I am a curvy woman, and in my opinion one thing that goes well with curves is short hair. As I have Mediterranean blood in me, I have black hair in a slicked-back, slightly spikey, very tomboyish look. If all you guys want to know my measurements I am a 36-28-42. Yes, I have boobs, and a big butt, No wonder Letty calls me 'Big Cat'. Today I was riding with Tej, a first time thing. I took out a pair of Diyu Leather Lace Pants and a plain black t-shirt for the haul.

I fixed the grill from the last trip I did with Letty. Now Tej is coming with me for the ride, but like a high school prom Dom thought I might need an escort, "Look Cat, I know you can handle yourself on the road, but I'm going to have Han and Roman follow behind you so someone can watch your back," Dom explained, I had no problem with it seeing that I was attacked by four trucks on my from Tacoma. I had my suspicions about that AT64F that 'Crazy Horse' was going on about. Something didn't sit well with me.

"Let's do this thing," said Tej, and gave him a hi-five. From Roman, I got a kiss on the lips and a tap in the butt from him. I looked back and gave him a flirty smile. Roman and Han were taking the Corvette Z06 while I had Tej in the passenger seat. I fired up the engine, and headed out of the garage with the Corvette behind me as back-up.

I gave Han my boot-leg shotgun just in case anyone tried to pull a stunt on the road. On my end, I was hauling a large Cosco shipping container, "Breaker, breaker, this is the 'Big Cat', according to Crazy Horse, he spotted the rig heading east out of state," I radioed to the Corvette while I shifted the gears, and pushed down on the accelerator.

"10-4 Big Cat, and may I remind you that you still owe me a new truck," said Han. I lightly laughed back, and enjoyed the trip while keeping my eyes out for that AT64F. Something told me whoever is behind all this is planning something big. Suddenly, I heard a gunshot along with the sounds of breaking glass and twisting steel. Now was not the time to panic, "watch out Big Cat, we've got company, and they are packing heat!" Han yelled into the radio, and was bumped off the road. I looked into my side mirrors.

"Oh that's not good," I said to Tej as a new Ford Mustang GT was coming in hot. There were two men in the car, and one of them was carrying a SPAS-12 shotgun. It was a good thing I am taking out my black Peterbilt 379 instead of the teal green one. A shotgun slug came in, and shot out my window, "Jesus Christ!" I blasted ducking the glass, and pulling my wheel to try and nudge them off the road, but they pulled back while Roman and Han were getting back on the road and fighting back against the Mustang.

"Does this happen a lot when you drive, or just when you're around us?" Tej asked,

"Just when I'm around you guys, but I don't mind," I replied, and saw the Corvette coming back on the road, "you guys alright?" I asked

"Our bells are a little rung, but we're fine," radioed Roman. I could hear the lever-action of my shotgun in the hands of Han as he was fighting the Mustang. Just then, the Mustang was pushing the Corvette by the passengers side door into the wheels of my trailer. I had an idea to get rid of these hijackers. These baddies are just relentless.

"Alright, we got this, break off and floor it when I tell you," I radioed to the Corvette. When they were in range, and put my plan into action, "NOW!" I blasted, and the tires of the Corvette screamed bloody murder as they drove away. I slammed on the brakes, and the Mustang collided with the back of my trailer, and exploded into a fiery wreck.

"I'm adding the Corvette to your tab, Cat," Han said on the CB. Suddenly off in the distance, I saw a rig and judging by the description this was the one we were looking for. I switched to Dom's private station to tell him the news, "Looks like we've found the rig," said Han, but it seemed too easy. It seemed like this job was nearing it's conclusion, but I was wrong. As soon as the guys and I got out of our rides and took a few steps to investigate it, the AT64F suddenly exploded. Luckily, none of us were seriously hurt.

I groaned getting up off the ground, and getting a hand up from Roman, "You okay?" He asked, I lightly nodded 'yes' to him. It looked like our plans have gone up in smoke, literally, "so...where do we go from here?" Roman asked rhetorically. Now that I know that I know that the Autocar AT64F was a trick, I know who is really behind this whole operation and know what he is driving, "Dom is not going to like this," Roman commented, he is right Dom is not going to be happy about this, but we have a new objective.

Han seemed to catch on with me, "Wait, Marina, what kind of truck does 'Crazy Horse' drive?" Han asked,

"I am on the same page as you, Han, Crazy Horse drives a black 1994 Kenworth W900L," I replied back with a hand on my hip after dusting myself off. It then hit me like a mule kicking me in the head. I looked at the guys, and lightly smiled, "alright boys, let's get the crew together," I hopped back into the Peterbilt, and radioed back to Dom.

"Okay Dom, I've got good news and bad news, the bad news is the whole AT64F thing was a trick, the good news is I know what we're really looking for, we need to keep an eye out for a black 1994 Kenworth W900L," I radioed back to Dom. It was time to roll out the big guns, and get the special trailer ready. Now it was time to go on the hunt.

"10-4 Big Cat," said Dom as we headed back to the garage. For this job, it seems like one step back means two steps forward. The problem was that was the exact rig I saw him driving at the Produce Alley in South San Francisco. I was not going to fall for him again, and neither was Dom. He radioed me back, "Marina, didn't you say that was the same rig that you saw in Frisco, right? If it is, then this is probably another dead end, there's no way he's going to want to get himself caught that easily," Dom radioed to us.

"Copy that, Dom, we're heading your way," I replied, and put back the CB. I sighed in frustration, and got a pat on the back from Tej, "merci," I said with a light smile. It was tough drive back to the garage. My window was shot out, and the Corvette Z06 was limping back. We were left to lick our wounds. On one end, we know who the ringleader is behind this gun-running operation. The problem is know who we are looking for, but now we don't know what we are looking for. Dom was there to greet us in the garage.

"Don't worry about it, Big Cat, you did what you can, we still need you in on this," said Dom. I lightly nodded to him, and went to get myself a cold beer. I thought we had this operation in the bag, but it makes me feel a little better that Dom has some faith in that we can get this job done. Dom lightly smirked a light smile, "I know who to call,"
