Brian checked his computer systems seeing that everything was running smoothly. Stage one complete flashed, Brian hit the first of the NOS release buttons and shot forward. Overtaking Edwin. The screen started to then flash red, Danger to the manifold. Brian slammed the top down and pressed the second NOS button.
Another burst of speed hit the car and nuts and bolts started to spray up at him the floor plate of the passenger side flying off behind him even as he passed Dom. Seconds later Dom sped past him. Brian came to a shaky stop to gather his wits before continuing to where everyone was congratulating Dom.
Skye shuffled her way through the crowd and stopped next to Hector, "And here is what you won." She said pulling the cash from her waistband and giving it to Dom.
Dom smiles and walks over to Mia and the others, "My sister holds the winnings. Count it." He told her as he turned to where Letty was headbutting Vince.
"And you're my trophy." He told Letty picking her up by the waist.
Brain pulled up to a stop. Jesse hurried over to see the damage done to the car. Popping the hood the compressed smoke came spilling out. Dom looked over to Brian to see him smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" he asked.
"Dude. I almost had you." He chuckled. The gathered crowd laughed.
"You almost had me?" Dom asked incredulously, "You never had me. You never even had your car. Granny-shifting. Not double-clutching, like you should." Dom made his way around to the back of the car, "you're lucky that 100-shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake." Dom looked to one of the guys, "Almost had me?" he said pointing to himself.
"You tell him, Dominic. Get out of here." The guy replied.
"Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried." Dom put down the hood of the car and secured it, "Ask any racer. Any real race." He said pointing around at the crowd, "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
"Yeah!" the crowd roared.
"I told you you'd fuck up Brian." Skye spoke up appearing behind Jesse. When the call came through that cops were coming and all the racers scrambled. Dom shut his door and prepared to take off when he saw Skye sitting in the passenger seat.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"If you get cornered who's gunna get the car home." She replied and indicated him to take off which he quickly did.
"That's warped fucking thinking."
"Do the cops know this car?" she asked as they turned another corner sharply.
"They know me and that's enough." Dom responded making a quick decision to enter a parking garage.
"Then I'll be able to get the car back to you safe and sound. I'll wait here for half an hour just in case some cops lurk and then I'll leave. Alright." She explained as they came to a stop in a parking space.
Dom reached in to the back seat, "Alright deal, but you had better be at the house by midnight." He told her leaving no argument.
"I'll see you at the house." She told him and he quickly left the parking garage pulling on his jacket as a cop car sped by only to stop and turn coming back at him.
"Hold it right there Toretto." Came the officers' voice over the loud speaker and Dom took off into a back alley with the cop car not far behind him. Another car came to a stop in front of him after coming from behind.
"Come on get in." Brian beckoned quickly, Dom didn't need to be told twice and jumped in the car and they sped off with a cop car on their tail. Brian sped out of the alley and in to the street where he skidded into the street and at the on coming cop cars.
