Brian watched as other cars drove in front of him. Once he pulled up to park he got out and started to check out the other cars that were there while standing near his car waiting for Dom. He looked around to see all manner of groups huddled together kicking it.

One of the Latino groups saw him, "Hold up, hold up. Look at this snowman right here, man." He moves the girl sitting on his lap and makes his way over to Brian. "Sweet ride. What you running under there, man?" he asked as he stopped to look at the car. Brian didn't respond.

He walked around the car toward Brian, "You're going to make me find out the hard way?" he asked.

Brian lip curled, "Hell, yeah."

He laughed and pointed at Brian, "You brave. You brave. They call me Hector. I gotta last name too but I can't pronounce it."

Brian extended a hand, "Brian Spilner."

Hector shook the hand, "Typical white-boy name. Know what I'm saying?"

Hector sits down on the hood of the Eclipse and points out his Civic SiR HB 94 to Brian, "See that over there? That's mine. I ain't cutting her loose tonight though."

"Why not?"

"I'm going legit homey. Trying to get on the NIRA circuit. Heard about that?"

"Oh hell yeah."

"So what's up with you, man?"

Brian looked around again, "I'm just waitin' on Toretto."

"Shit." Another came over to Hector and Brian, "Better get in line." He looked at the car, "This yours?"

Brian looked over the car, "I'm standing next to it aren't I?" he responded off handedly.

"That's funny." He walks to the other side of the Eclipse, "You know, Edwin happens to know a few things. And one of the things Edwin knows is: It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car."

Brian smirked at Edwin but his attention soon turned when he heard another set of engines. The entire crowd split and cheered as Dom and his team came in to the crowd. Edwin clapped his hands, "Oh shit. Here they come. It is on."

Brian watched as they pulled up to a stop and the crew got out of their cars. Two girls pulled along Dom after he greeted Marvin with a handshake.

"Hey Dom, how you doing?"

"Hey Camille. Have you been doing yoga?" Dom asked as he moved to sit on the hood of one of the cars, Letty watched as both girls smothered Dom. Letty walked over to where they were talking.

"Rrwow." Letty sniffed, "I smell skanks. Why don't you girls pack it up, before I leave tread marks all up on your face?"

Both girls shrugged and walked off, "Letty I was just talking." Dom explained.

"Yeah. What ever." Letty snorted in disbelief. Dom rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the crowd.

"Ok Hector."

Hector walked over to where Dom was standing, shaking his hand, "Yeah? What's up man?"

Edwin walked over as well and shook Doms hand, "Yo. What's up?"

"Edwin." Dom acknowledged.

"So what's the deal?" Edwin asked.

"One race with a two G buy in. Winner takes all. Skyelady holds the cash. Hector you're starting the race." The cash started to pass hands to Dom and then to Skye where she put the money in a money clip and tucked it into the waistband of her pants under her belly button.

"Ok. Good luck guys." Dom smirked but was halted by a voice, "Hey, wait. Hold up." Brian came through the crowd to appear near Hector and Edwin.

"I don't have any cash. But I do have the pink slip to my car." He explained showing the slip. Dom just stared at him.

"You can't just climb in to the ring with Ali 'cause you think that you can box." Jesse spoke up.

Brian pointed over at Vince, "He knows I can box." He stated, "Check it out, it's like this. I lose the winner takes my car. Clean and Clear. But if I win, I take the cash and I take the respect."

The crowd around the conversation laughed, "Respect." Dom scoffed.

"To some people, that's more important." He told Dom.

Dom took a moment to look Brian up and down and then nodded over at the Eclipse, "That your car?"

Jesse walked over to the car and popped the hood and took a look inside and let out a whistle, "I see a cool air intake. It's got a NOS fogger system and a T4 turbo, Dominic." He rattled off, "I see an AIC controller. It has direct port nitrous injection."

Dom crossed his arms over this chest, "Yeah. And a stand-alone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend 10 grand.

Edwin popped his head over Jesses to have a look, "You see that shit? He's got enough NOS in there to blow himself up."

"So what do you say?" Brian spoke up, "Am I worthy?"

Dom laughed, "We don't know yet." He pointed the slip at Brian, "But you're in. Let's go."

Skye moved forward and started to talk to Brian, "Was sind die Hölle Sie denkendes Brian?" (What the hell are you thinking Brian?)

"Ich weiß, was ich Skye tue." (I know what I'm doing Skye.) Brian told her calmly.

"Sie können nicht dieses Auto Brian laufen. Sie haben einen Leitung Fuß, würden Sie das Auto und vielleicht sich außerdem mit dieser ganzer Scheiße darunter dort töten." (You can't race this car Brian. You have a lead foot, you'd kill the car and possibly yourself as well with all that shit under there.) She told him with a pleading tinge to her voice.

"Warum nicht haben Sie Glauben?" (Why don't you have faith?)

"Warum sind Sie seiend so störrisch?" (Why are you being so stubborn?)

"Gerechter Tropfen ließ es Skye und mich laufen." (Just drop it Skye and let me race)

"Geldstrafe aber Sie werden lösen." (Fine but you're going to loose.) She snapped at him and headed for Leon's car leaving behind a stunned Hector, Leon, Vince, Jesse, Edwin, Letty and Mia.

"What the hell was that all about snowman?" Hector asked.

"I was just getting my ass handed to me by my little sister. Is all." He told them.

"And what did she say?"

"Basically she said that I'm going to get my ass handed to me at the end of this race. If I don't end up killing myself first." Brian shrugged as Jesse closed the hood.

"Let's go!" Edwin and Hector called into the crowd, which hurried to their cars and to where the race was going to take place.

"Are you ok?" Leon asked after he got in the car.

"Yeah Leo, I'm fine."

"So what was that with your brother?"

"Brian has a lead foot. And with all that NOS in the bloody car, I'm just a tad bit nervous about him racing." She explained.

Leon took her hand in his as they cruised, "He's going to be fine. He might not have a car after the race but he'll be fine."

"If we have to scramble I'm gonna jump in with Dominic so that I can get his car home to him if he has to ditch."

"No problem. At least you'll be with one of us."

"You guys are going to be clingy for a coupla days aren't you after what I told you."

"Yeah we are, even if that means that one of us comes and picks you up at school."

"Dom said that I'm supposed to use his car until he's finished mine. Whether it is still the deal or not I don't know."

"When was this decided?"

"When you were out back working on what you thought would be a good look for my car."

"Fair enough. Though it is surprising that he would let you considering he won't even let Letty."

Skye laughed, "Yeah that's exactly what Vince said. I got a feeling it's Mia that tore into him after school today. That's probably the only reason why he offered his car."

"Probably. I saw the hood up when I went in there. Obviously Dom was working on it sometime today." Leon explained as they stopped at the street entrance to stop anymore traffic from coming through. A Pizza Hut delivery car came to a stop in front of them.

The delivery driver got out of the car, "What the hell is going on around here?" he asked.

Leon stuck his head out of the window, "Streets closed Pizza boy." He waved his hand at him in dismissal, "Find another way home."

The delivery driver got back in to his car, "Goddamn street racers." He spat and he drove off.

Leon switched on the police scanner seated on the dashboard and tuned it in to the switchboard, "Log on, 22. Code 3. Tension is high. They've blocked the street." He watched as the racers came up to the start line.

Brain over shot the start line in his nervousness and had to back pedal so he was even with the others. He could see Dom shake his head at him. Dom turned on his sound system and waited for the start. One of the race girls came over to Edwin's car and made a deal with him for after he won.

Brian chants to himself trying to dismiss his sisters words, "I'm gonna win." He muttered as he turned on the NOS system and waited to race. Dom raised the passenger seat and turned on his NOS and revved the engine.

Skye stepped out of the car, "I'm gonna take off down with Jess to the end of the line. He'll prolly want to check on Brian's car when he's finished." She explained.

Leon nodded, "A'right. I'll see you later at the house." He said as she shut the door and hurried off to where Jesse was with Letty, Mia and Vince.

"So you think that you're brother's going to loose?" Letty asked.

"I know he's going to loose. He has a bloody lead foot and he'll use the NOS system to early." She explained, "That's what I was talking to him about before." She explained.

"What language were you two talking in?" Jesse asked.

"German. From our mum, if we didn't know it we were fucked so we learnt it quick from our grandmum." She told them with a shrug, "Also Jess, I'll be coming down to the line with you to drive home with Dom to take the car just in case cops swarm in and he needs to ditch."

"No problemo Squee." Jesse responded as he watched Hector stand up in his car so that the drivers could see him. Hector twirled his hand in the air signaling at them to get ready and a few seconds later dropped his hand and the cars took off.

Skye and Jesse took off for the finish line behind Letty and Vince.
