Well, here is chapter 2 up. Please read and review. :)

Again, own nothing of NFS and this is for entertainment only.

Chapter 2 Food and Gas


We finally made it to the dinner. I was 6 minutes ahead of Nikki so she was groaning as she got out of her car. "You lost fair and square Nikki." I say as we reach the others at their table. Neville had already ordered. Sitting in front of him was a plate with 2 cheese burgers, a heap of fries, another plate loaded with fried onion rings, a third plate with a huge slice of cheese cake and a glass of a suspicious looking brown liquid. I squint my eyes at it as I sit next to Yumi. We were at a table for 8.

On one side were Samson, Neville and Colin and on my side was Sal, Yumi with

Nikki at the end of the table between Sal and Colin. "Is that diet coke Neville?" I ask taking his glass for a taste. "Yes it is, I'm on this new fried food diet, you should try it sometime." He says, taking his glass back after my little taste. "Ugh Nev, how can you eat all that?" Yumi asks as Neville shoves some chips into his mouth. "By picking them up, putting them in my mouth, and slowly chewing." He says once he has swallowed. "There is no way you are eating all of that Neville." I say and grab his plate with the cheese cake and two forks, handing one to Yumi, intending to share the cheese cake with her. "Hey, that's mine." He says, trying to take back the plate. "And two burgers, your eyes are bigger than your stomach Nev." Samson says, managing to get a spare plate from a passing waiter and transferring one of Neville's burgers to it. "Hey I was going to eat that one first." He wails. "Well you still have the one left Neville and I doubt you'll eat these so Sal and I will enjoy them." Says Colin, grabbing

Neville's plate of onion rings. Neville looks around at us forlornly. Yumi and

I were already tucking into the cheese cake, it was delicious. Colin and Sal

were enjoying the onion rings, Sal had some ketchup on his side of the plate.

"How can you eat onion rings with that stuff?" Colin asked as he popped a ring into his mouth and chewed. "Quite easily my good man." Sal replied then dipped a ring into the sauce before putting it into his mouth slowly, as if to relish the flavour, but really to annoy Colin. Samson was defiantly enjoying his burger while Nikki was half heartedly eating her fries. I could tell she was still upset about our chat before we got here, but there was nothing I could do about that. Neville finally gave up on getting his food back once he saw us all start to eat. I knew he wouldn't mind, he wasn't a selfish kind of guy. We all ate in silence for 5 minutes. All of us starting to feel awkward for some reason. No one knew how to break the silence, but Neville decided to break it his own way, with a loud burp. "Neville, eeww, we are in public!" Yumi said while trying to cover her slowly turning red face. "Hey, it's not my fault diet coke gives me gas." He said, to which we all replied at once, "Then don't drink it." We all stared at each other for a moment before breaking out into slightly hysterical laughter. That was all that was needed to break the ice and the conversation flowed from there, though it was a light trickle between Nikki and I, but I knew it would be some time before we got back to where we used to be.

After about twenty minutes, we were going to head back to the garage, and do yet some more tune ups to our ride, when a muscle car came by. It had a Grim reaper painted on the door, was yellow, with brown stripe running right through it, with red window tint. It pulled up to the parking lot, did a burnout, then sat there staring at us, soon after, three more muscle cars with the same paint job, but no grim reaper came by, and formed around the lead muscle car. The lead muscle car's door opened, and out stepped a fairly handsome man. He was bald, and had a muscle shirt on. He had baggy pants, he had a chain coming out of one of them. His face looked like it was chiselled by stone, steely eyes, and thin lips. He then came forward towards us, while his crewmen revved their engines. "Which one of you is Alex?" He asked, his voice deep, with a sort of evil tone to it. I stepped forward, and he walked over to me. He then looked me over, and smiled with a grimace that I can only begin to imagine what he was thinking. "So this is who took the city from Darius, you look like you couldn't take a little kid in a video game!"

I could feel the anger boiling up inside of me, but I kept my cool.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Oh, we're here to give you a warning."

"Which would be?"

He then stepped out of the way so we got a clear view of his car and crewmen.

"You got another gang in the making."

"Looks like a bunch of delivery men to me."

I could clearly see the anger on his face, but he kept his cool also.

"We're going to take the city from you Alex!"

"Big words for a small man!" I reply

He then started walking towards his car, and got in, and then he leaned his head out the window.

"The reapers of the seventh age will own this city Alex, one race at a time!"

He then closed the window, he and his crewmen all did a 180 degree burnout, and sped off into the distance. Neville then came up to me.

"Is it something we should worry about Alex?"

I then turned and looked at him.

"All in due time, come on, let's go."

We all walked towards our cars, revved them up, and sped off towards their warehouse.


Well that was Chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope to be able to update it soon.
