She was about to be dragged upstairs when Brian came over and turned Danny around, punching him in the face.

"OW!" Danny complained, sitting up on one of the steps.

Brian grabbed him and showed him roughly to the front door, kicking him out.

Lisa breathed heavily and Brian came back to her, holding her shoulders, crouching down to her level. "Are you okay?"

Lisa nodded. "I'm okay."

Brian growled. "Who gave you the beer? How much did you have?"

"Danny gave me one and he tried to give me another but I didn't take it," Lisa replied. "It was only one."

Brian sighed before raising his voice. "Okay everybody! Party's over! Time to go!"

Everyone heard his voice and started to leave, some slower than others.

Lisa sat on the couch and watched the last lot of people leave. Brian went to the kitchen and brought back some water for Lisa. "I'm sorry about Danny."

"That's okay," Lisa said. "Thanks for helping me, again."

"You like getting into trouble don't you?" Brian laughed.

"Habit I guess," Lisa smiled. "I don't know what I would have done if you didn't show up."

"I'm sure Danny was only joking-"

"I meant, with the cops," Lisa said. "I'd probably be having an earful from my parents if the cops had of caught me."

"Yeah well, I saw you drop your car at a house and the cops come and then chase you. What was I supposed to do? Turn a blind eye and let you get caught?" Brian shook his head. "You would have gotten your car destroyed and you'd never be allowed to race again."

"You could have turned a blind eye," Lisa said, drinking some water. "You could have gotten caught as well."

"Well, we're both fine, so it's okay."

Lisa smiled.

"There's another race going on soon," Brian said. "A month from now. It's legal."

"For you maybe," Lisa laughed. "It's still illegal for me."

"Just say you're 17 like you did with the Chinese guys."

Lisa shrugged. "I'll give it a try."

Lisa opened her eyes and got out of her bed. She had been staying with Brian for three weeks and she had her race car in his garage.

She went downstairs after she got dressed and saw Brian waiting for her.

"Morning," she said.

"Morning," Brian replied. "We're going to the garage today to do up that car I got."

"You mean that ten-minute piece of junk?" Lisa teased.

Brian laughed. "When we fix it up it will be a ten-second car. And you did say you went to juvie once for stealing a car and making it race."

Lisa followed her friend outside and got into her car, she was driving.

She started it up and drove off towards the garage, scaring the shit out of Brian as she hit the noss button and zoomed past cars.

"This street," Brian directed and Lisa went to turn. "Not with noss on!"

With the noss still pushing the car at a really fast speed, Lisa turned it ninety-degrees without stopping and sped down the street.

"Holy shit man!" Brian yelled. "You could have rolled the car!"

"I've done it before," Lisa smirked. "I'm a pro at turning with noss on."

The noss turned off and they reached a long driveway. Lisa drove up it.

She parked her car and they got out. "Okay, I'm never letting you drive unless it's for a race." Brian said. "You're dangerous on the road!"

"No I'm not!" Lisa said in a kids voice. "You do it."

"I've had more experience."

"This is because I turned a corner with noss on isn't it?" Lisa laughed. "I scared you!"

"You did what?"

"Hey Dom," Lisa said as Dominic came over.

"She turned the car ninety-degrees with noss on," Brian said.

"Shit man, you shouldn't let her drive at all," Dominic laughed. "She's a danger on the road and on the track."

"I am not!" Lisa growled. "Are we going to get this car done or not?"

Lisa lead the way into the garage and they walked up to a rusty old car. "I still cannot believe this is a ten-second car. Or at least, supposed to be."

"It will be," Brian said. "Have you seen under the hood?"

Lisa shook her head. "Its probably just a motor. Nothing special."

"Pop the hood," Dominic said. "I didn't believe him either when he first brought it here."

Lisa walked over to the front of the car and opened the hood. "Whoa, are you serious! This thing has hydrolics and everything!"

"Now do you believe it will be a ten-second car?" Brian said with a smirk.

"Well at the moment it still looks like a ten-minute car," Lisa said, putting the hood back down. "But we still have to get the parts for it."

"We will," Dominic smiled. "And if we win at that race next week we can put the money into finishing it."

"What if we don't win?" Lisa asked.

"You will win," Brian said. "If you can beat Dom, you can beat anybody."

Lisa smiled, "Let's start to fix this thing."

Through half of the day Lisa helped Jessie model the car, it was going to be an orange car with racing stickers and a roof that could be taken off.

The rest of the day, Lisa was helping Dom go to a car dealer and get some noss and nitrous injections. Lisa was driving.

"Now I know why Brian said you were dangerous on the road!" Dominic said, holding the handles near his head.

"And now you will know why Brian got scared as I put noss on and turned a corner," Lisa smiled.

"Don't put noss on!" Dominic said.

"Too late," Lisa laughed and hit the noss button and sped through the streets, dodging beeping cars and coming up to the street where she would need to turn.

"No!" Dominic yelled and held on tight

Lisa turned the wheel and the car turned ninety-degrees without stopping before speeding down the road.

"Don't ever do that again!" Dominic said, shaking like hell.

Lisa was laughing and she pulled into the long driveway.

She parked the car and they got out. Dominic's face was pale white.

Brian and Micheal came out and looked at Dominic. "Lisa, you didn't?!" Brian said.

Lisa nodded.

"I told you not to do that again!" Brian shook his head. "It's dangerous."

"I've done it many times before," Lisa said.

Brian sighed. "Do you ever do what you're told?"

Lisa looked at him. "You sound like a father."

Brian returned the look. "You do dangerous things. You scare everybody. Sorry if I sound like a father, I don't mean to."

Lisa looked away. "Let's get this stuff out of the boot."

Lisa walked to the back of her car and opened it.

Brian's phone started ringing and he answered it. "Yeah?"

Lisa watched as Brian nodded and hung up. "I have to go somewhere."

"Need my car?" Lisa asked.

"Can I?" Brian said. When Lisa nodded and everything was taken out for the rusty car, he jumped in.

"I'm having a barbecue at my house later," Dominic said, leaning down to the window. "We'll meet you there."

Brian nodded. "Take care of Lisa." he whispered so she wouldn't hear and he drove off.

Dominic and Jessie looked at Lisa who was carrying most of the parts for the car.

"You okay, Lisa?" Dominic asked her.

"I'm fine," Lisa sighed. "Let's put these in the car."

"I don't think she's okay," Jessie whispered to Dominic.

Dominic hit him in the back of the head. "It's because of the way Brian's acting-"

He stopped talking when he saw Lisa staring at him. "Coming?"

Dominic and Jessie followed Lisa into the garage and they started putting the parts into the car.

Two hours later, they got ready to go to the barbecue.

Lisa washed the grease from her hands and dried them with a rag.

"Lisa you can ride with me," Dominic said and Lisa jumped in the passenger seat of the car.

Everyone got into their cars and Dominic lead the way to his house.

They went up the driveway and Lisa saw her car coming up the road.

She got out of the car and watched Brian park her car. He got out and everyone helped set up the table outside.

Lisa went inside and helped Dominic's sister, Mia get the food and plates and everything else. They put it all on the table.

"So, Dom. How much did you pay for the parts for the car?" Brian asked as everyone sat down.

"A bit," Dominic replied. "Does it matter?"

"No," Brian said after a pause. "No, it doesn't matter."

Jessie said grace and everyone enjoyed an afternoon meal.

Mia said a joke and everyone was cracking up laughing, they were all having a good time. Lisa had one thing on her mind though. Why did Brian ask Dominic how much the car parts cost?

When everyone finished eating, Mia and Brian went inside to wash up the dishes.

"Everyone's having fun I see."

Everybody turned to look at the group of Chinese people.

"What do you want?" Jessie asked them.

"Dominic borrowed money a few days ago and said he'd pay us back by today," one of them said. "Where's our money?"

"I never borrowed money from you!" Dominic said, but Lisa saw the look in his eyes that proved his lie.

One of the guys held up a gun to Dominic. "Yes you did. And we want our repayment."

Why would Dom borrow money from them? Lisa thought, but then she realized, that was how he payed for the car parts.

"Shit!" Mia said, coming out. "What the fuck are these guys doing here?"

One of the guys looked at Lisa. "I remember you. You were with Brian when he owed us money. You gonna' cover for Dominic to?"

"I would if I had money," Lisa said.

"Do you have the money you owe or don't you?" one of the guys asked Dominic.

"No, but if you give me more time I can-"

"Your time is up!" the guy growled. "Pay us in money or we'll take something worth the same amount."

Brian came outside. "Shit."

"I have no money and I don't have anything worth that amount," Dominic said.

The guy's gaze landed on Lisa and her heart started racing, she wasn't going to expect anything as bad as what she was thinking.

"What about the girl" the guy asked Dominic. "She's a good racer I hear. And she's 17."

"She's 15," Jessie said but when Dominic looked at his friend he shut his mouth.

"15?" the guy said with a smile. "She seems worth taking."

"No, you can't take her!" Mia said.

The guy pointed his gun at her. "Yes we can, and we will."

Lisa moved back to stand beside Brian.

Brian handed Lisa her car keys without anyone noticing. "Get in your car and get out of here," he whispered to her. "We'll distract them as long as we can. Get to our house and put the car in the garage. Go upstairs and wait until I get there."

"What if they come before you?" Lisa whispered to him, her voice was shaky.

"There's a gun under my bed, grab it and grab some bullets from the kitchen cupboard."

"Stop whispering!" one guy growled. "C'mon girl, come with us or your friends get shot."

"Okay," Lisa said. "But let me wash up first."

The guy looked at her, he didn't believe her.

"I'll only be five minutes," Lisa said calmly. "Trust me. I always keep my word."

"Lisa you can't be serious!" Jessie said.

"It's better than seeing you get shot," Lisa said, making her eyes fill with fake tears.

"Five minutes," the guy said. "Any longer and we'll come in for you."

Lisa nodded and went inside the house with her fake tears falling.

When she was inside she crept to the front door and silently opened it before running to her car. She got in and closed the door. She wiped away her fake tears and started the motor and began to drive off, the driver's seat window winded down.

She heard bullets crash into her car and she saw the Chinese guys getting on their motorbikes, guns raised.

She slammed the accelerator pedal to the floor and raced off. Why did they have to shoot my car?! She thought. It cost me a fortune to do it up!

She sped down streets and dodged cars with the motorbikes right behind her, still shooting. That was when she saw something down near her foot, Brian's gun.

She grabbed it and leaned out of her window, her arm back and she shot at the Chinese guys, still keeping her eyes half on the road in front of her.

She hit one guy and he went down but she had to get back into her seat and dodge more cars.

At the sound of sirens she slammed her hands on the steering wheel. "This is bullshit!" she yelled and turned down a street, but she had accidentally turned onto the highway!

"Damn it!" she yelled but she could lose the cops and the motorbikes this way.

She looked back, the motorbikers were keeping a distance with their guns away so the cops wouldn't pull them over. But one of the two police cars were in pursuit of them.

To Lisa's shock,one Chinese guy turned around with his gun and shot dead the police officer and then the group went after the cop car chasing Lisa.

Lisa turned her attention to the road in front of her and hit the noss button, speeding her across the highway.

The sound of sirens died away but the sound of motorbikes was getting louder as her car stopped the noss.

The highway was coming to an end and Lisa could keep going straight or turn off at noss speed.

In a few moments she had decided and she drove in front of a truck. She hit noss but it didn't work. She hit it again, nothing happened.

She was going as fast as she could without noss and the motorbikers were catching up to her!

"This is fucking bullshit!" she growled.

The turn came up and Lisa went to turn, but one problem; She could turn ninety-degrees with noss, not without it!

She turned but the car paused, meaning she had to change gears. The wheels moved as she accidentally put it in neutral and smoke rose up from the wheels.

She heard beeping and turned to see the truck, unable to stop.

She struggled with the gears but a few seconds later her car was knocked into the air and it spun a few times before hitting the ground and rolling off of the road and down the hill beside it.

Lisa was thrown around and she hit her head on the steering wheel.

The car stopped rolling and ended up being upside down.

Lisa put Brian's gun under her shirt and she unbuckled her seatbelt. She crawled out of her car and blood dripped from a wound on her forehead.

Her arms fell from underneath her and she lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

She heard the sound of motorbikes and saw the Chinese people standing over her, but they were all blurry. Lisa's vision was failing as she lost more blood. She couldn't believe that she accidentally put the car in neutral and struggled with the gears. The truck could have possibly run straight over her and crushed her. She was so lucky that it didn't.

"What do you think we should do?" one guy asked another.

The leader of the group crouched down to Lisa. "You alright?"

She barely heard it, and she didn't have the breath to reply.

The guy stood up. "Leave her."

"What if she dies?" the girl asked.

"Then it's not our problem," the guy said. "Let's go."

The Chinese group got on their motorbikes and rode off, leaving Lisa lying on the grass, bleeding from her forehead and her leg.

She rolled onto her back with great pain and she looked up at the blurry sky, dark clouds were rolling in, it was going to storm. She was getting cold as the wind started to get strong. She probably wasn't going to make it.

"Damn it!"

"Brian, calm down man," Dominic said. "We'll find her."

"She was supposed to come here!" Brian said, looking stressed. "Those Chinese guys better not have taken her. I don't know what they'd do to her."

At the sound of motorbikes, Brian, Dominic, Jessie, Mia and Micheal came out of Brian's house and saw the Chinese people pull up the driveway.

The leader took off his helmet and walked over to them. "Got a girl that's not suicidal and worth taking?"

"Suicidal?!" Mia exclaimed.

"What did you do to her?!" Brian growled, grabbing the guy by the shirt, this time not caring that guns were pointed at him.

"She's probably dead by now," the guy smiled. "A truck ran into her and the car rolled. She has a wound on her forehead and her leg is cut open, probably by the glass from the smashed front windscreen."

"Where?!" Brian asked, his heart racing.

"When you reach the end of the highway there's a smallish grassy hill, her car should be down there," the girl said, joining the leader. "She should be there to."

"Micheal, Mia, you ride with Jessie," Dominic said. "Brian, you ride with me. You drive."

Everyone got into the two cars and sped towards the highway.

"How much noss has this thing got?" Brian asked Dominic.

"Brian, calm down-"

"Dom! She's hurt! She could have eternal bleeding! She could be...." Brian shook his head and Dominic spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"We're going on noss," he said. In moments he heard the reply from Mia.

"Okay, let's go," she said.

Brian pushed the noss button and the car sped up the highway. He was panicky, he was scared. He had taken care of Lisa for three weeks, and now she's hurt because he didn't go with her. It was all his fault!

Lisa, please be okay! He thought. Please don't be dead!

He past a whole heap of cars praying that Lisa would not be dead and blaming himself for her accident.

Lisa's breathing was getting short, she had eternal bleeding in her leg and she was really dizzy. She knew that if Brian knew about her accident her would freak out and come racing over. But he didn't know. How could he?

She looked at her car and saw some flames starting to rise and she tried to move away before it blew up.

She moved slowly across the grass, trying to get away with her arms and good leg.

The car blew up and blue flames rose into the air from the noss.

Stupid Chinese people! She thought. That car was the first car I ever raced in!

She watched the flames die down and she heard cars screeching.

"Holy shit!"

She turned her head and fell on her back, she saw her friends. How did they know?

The gun fell onto the grass and her friends reached her.

Brian and the others fell to their knees and Brian pulled out his cell.

Dominic took his belt off and put it around Lisa's leg, above the wound to stop any more blood from rushing out. Mia pulled out a rag from her jeans and wiped the blood from her forehead, but more blood came from the wound.

"This is Officer Brian O'Conner, we have one person injured. Her name is Lisa Wilson and she has a wound on her forehead and left leg. Her leg has eternal bleeding," Brian said. "We're on Smith street down the grassy hill just at the turn-off for the highway."

Lisa looked at Brian. Officer? She thought. He's a cop?!

Brian looked back at her, his eyes full of fear and worry.

Dominic and the otherslooked very concerned for Lisa, they must have known that Brian was a cop, but no one told her.

Brian got off the phone. "They're sending a helicopter right away."

"You're a cop," Lisa breathed. "You're a cop, and you..."

"Yes, Lisa. I'm an undercover police officer," Brian said.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" she asked, too exhausted to growl. "When I get better, I'm going to juvie. Aren't I?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry, Lisa," Brian replied. Not answering her first question.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a cop?" Lisa asked again. "Why did you help me the night of that race when the cops were after me? Why did you borrow money from those Chinese jerks if you were a cop all this time?!"

"Lisa, I...." Brian couldn't answer.

"I'm an under-age street racer," Lisa said. "And you didn't turn to the police when I wouldn't have expected it. You let me stay with you and you never told the police. Why, Brian?"

Brian couldn't reply and Lisa felt some strength returning as she got a little mad at him. "You helped me when you shouldn't have! You could have turned me into the police but you didn't! You're a cop and yet you race to!"

"Lisa, I'm sorry," Brian looked at the ground.

"Well, think of it this way," Mia said. "When you're better and you get out of juvie you can race again."

"No, I can't race anymore!" Lisa said. "Not after what happened. I went to turn the corner with noss but the tank was empty and I still went to turn. There was a truck behind me. I accidentally put the car in neutral and I panicked. I couldn't put the car in gear to go and the truck hit me. I have never been so scared. I can't race again, I might crash or something. I might fail with the gears again. I might run into another race car."

"Lisa, you won't!" Jessie said. "You can't give up street racing."

"I don't want to race anymore," Lisa said. "I won't put anyone in danger."

Lisa managed to sit up, although her friends were telling her she shouldn't.

She looked at Brian. "What's going to happen to you if they find out I've been staying with you this whole time?"

"I'll be fine," Brian said, not meeting her eyes.

"You're going to get fired aren't you?"

"Maybe, I don't know."

Lisa's eyes filled with tears, real ones. Her leg was in so much pain it was numb and her head hurt like crazy.

She hugged Brian. "I'm sorry."

"You shouldn't be," Brian hugged her back, then he spotted something. "Is that my gun?"

Lisa tensed, and her leg wasn't numb anymore. "Uh...." She let him go. "They were shooting at me and I found it."

"You shot at them?" Mia asked.

Lisa nodded. "And I hit one of them."

"Damn," Micheal said. "You can punch and shoot!"

Lisa managed to smile and she heard a helicopter. She looked up and saw it landing on the ground.

Brian hugged her before medical people came running over and put her on a stretcher without wheels.

Lisa lay on the stretcher and was carried towards the helicopter. She watched police officers come walking down the hill to talk with Brian, looking at Lisa.

Lisa sighed and was put into the helicopter. It took off and Lisa fell asleep, she could no longer feel her leg. She was so scared when the car rolled, that had never happened before. It had rattled her so much that she finally realized that she was doing dangerous things. She couldn't race anymore. She couldn't, and she wouldn't.
