Chapter 1 ~ New Arrivals
I sat on the hood of my car waiting for the new kid to come out of the airport. Travis said he was one of the best racers in Rockport until the cops chased him out of the city and forced him to leave his ride behind. He said that all he wanted to do was get back on the streets but had no way of doing so. That was until Travis called him and told him he had a ride for him if he was able to get to Ventura. He agreed and got on the next flight he could afford. His plane landed half an hour ago and he still hasn't shown.
"Where the fuck is he?" I asked myself out loud as I checked my phone for the time and to see if I had any missed calls. I saw that Ames had called and I missed it. She's been working on his car for weeks just to get it running enough to not die when he finally gets on the streets. Probably wondering where I am. I know she's been eager to show off her work to the new guy. I look up and finally see him walking through the doors. I slide my phone in my pocket and wave him over.
"Hey you the new kid? The one Travis was talking about?" He nods and replies.
"Yeah I'm James." He says as he reaches to shake my hand. "You're here to pick me up right?" I laugh and gesture toward the passenger door of my car.
"Why else would I be here man? The names Sebastian. It's a pleasure." We both got in the car and made our way out of the airport. "So I heard you used to roll in Rockport."
"Yeah. I made my way to the top before the cops found out where I was hiding out. Had no choice but to leave as fast as I could. Once I found a place to stay low I had to ditch my car because it was hot and would have attracted too much unwanted attention. A couple years went by and then Travis gave me a call telling me to head to Ventura. And here I am. What about you? What's your story?" I thought for a second before giving him an answer.
"I came to Ventura a few years ago. Started racing and at some point found myself racing Travis head to head. I had no idea who he was at the time. He beat me but only by a few inches. He said he could use someone like me in his crew and I said yes. Been driving for him ever since."
"So, what does he do? Run drugs or anything like that?" I let out a small chuckle.
"No nothing like that. Travis owns a garage where he stores and works on cars. The rest of the crew has their own jobs such as maintenance, recruiting, and racing. None of us are in charge so there is no leader. We race together and split the winnings among all of us. Travis owns the garage. Ames works on our cars. Spike looks for the best racers he could find. Robyn, Manu, Fredrick, and I roll the streets racing whoever we can. We build our reputation so the better racers rolling Ventura step up."
"So what does Travis want me to do?" I shook my head and shrugged.
"He'll tell you that part when we meet up with him and the rest of the crew. Right now we're heading to the garage where Ames has you're ride waiting for you." He nodded.
"Sounds good."
