Chapter 3

Race Wars

Passing the Test

I can't believe I'm doing this I thought. Dom made me drive the Supra but he tailed closely behind making sure I didn't take off. Letty drove in front of me with Mai.

It had been a very frosty week at that house and I was not allowed to go anywhere without an escort. Dom said it might end after Race Wars but we'll see cause we can't take any chances Brian. Hey the cops were after me now thanks I could hardly go anywhere as it was. Okay okay so they'd nab Toretto as soon as they could but still. I knew how to avoid that my information should count for something. Apparently not. Letty still likes to smack the back of my head every chance she gets and so does Vince. Well, I know why he does. Mai still wouldn't talk to me.

The security officer at the gate marked the car. "Welcome to race wars." "Thanks." I followed Letty to the sight where we'd be camping out in the trailers. You could taste the excitement in the air. Racers every sex height race were all together partying and dancing. Now I knew why I had given up my badge. For those ten seconds or less I was free. A quarter mile at a time. I came to life again and blood started pumping through me.

Dom had me race right away and Letty was doing her own thing. I handed the cash to Dom as soon as I won. I won ten out of twelve races not bad for a first timer.

"Your doing good B so I might let you off the hook you get to join us tonight in a little

party okay? If you do as your told you might just win our trust back. You haven't

gone running to the cops so I'm impressed but only just. As for my sister that's her

choice to make." Dom said. He smacked me on the back of the head for just for good

measure.

Jesse was walking past us in a hurry.

"What do you got there Jesse?" I asked him. "I'm throwing in a pink slip just like you

did that way me and my dad can roll when he gets out of prison." Jesse said.

"Yeah well they're going to throw him back in prison when he beats you up

for betting his car." I told him.

"Brian I don't need advice from an ex cop okay? Look the fools running a Honda two '

thousand I'll win." Jesse said.

"Who are you racing?" I asked him curious. "Shit!"

Jesse ran to his car which was in place Leon was getting out of the driver side

and let Jesse in.

"Don't do it Jesse!" I said.

"Visualize the win Jesse visualize the win. Your not listening to me you need to

Listen to me!" Leon said. Jesse got in his car the driver of the Honda 2000 was Johnny

Tran.

"Jesse I'll bet he's put in more than 15,000 in that car." I said warningly. "A huh." Jesse nodded. He showed Tran the pick slip. I backed away this wasn't my show.

I walked back over to Dom and watched the race. Jesse put in his nos to soon and lost the race. Jesse drove away from the race. Leon came running over to his.

"Dom we got problems!" Leon said. "What?" Dom asked. "Jesse just raced

Tran for slips and he lost." "Oh shit." Tran pulled around and drove straight at us. We jumped out of the way. Tran came out incensed. "Toretto where's he going?" Tran shouted. "The car wash." "Whatever go fetch my car." "Go fetch your car? We're not on your block anymore so you better watch it." Dom said. "Swat came into my house disrespecting my family. Somebody knocked and it was you." "I never knocked on nobody!" Dom shouted. Vince and Leon gave me looks that were murderous. "Well

I didn't turn you in." I whispered. Vince punched my stomach as he walked towards Dom. Dom went flying at Tran and started beating the shit out of him. Blood was squirting from Tran's mouth. People gathered around watching the fight in a frenzy. It took two security guards plus Leon and Vince to get Toretto off of Tran. "I never knocked on nobody." As he passed me Dom kicked me in the shins. I was bruised too.

The atmosphere grew even wilder that night. Dom grabbed me from the trailor. "Come on lets go we're using you B. Your going to tell us what you know about the tuckers and what's going on. Your also going to help us fight them two heads are better then one except when its my head working and I am just driving I ain't in the truck." Mai followed us to the cars. I was shoved in the back of Dom's car roughly.

Mai looked at Dom with pleading look and tears in her eyes. "Dom please no! I have respected you and I haven't said anything. Please please don't go." Mai begged. My heart went out to her. "Mai- I began. Dom shoved me back. "B your in hot water and way way over your head. So don't push it. Mai I'm doing this for us." "Don't give me your bullshit Dom." Mai cried and walked a way giving me a dirty look. Why was I to blame?

It took us a long time to get to the highway to reach the three Honda's they used for the heist. Once again I was riding in the back but Vince was in the front taking Jesse's spot. The team seemed uneasy about it so I had to help them. "Dom the truckers are going to arm themselves with weapons to fight." I told him. "Well something we can use." Dom said. "Thanks." "Your going to fight against them. Knock them out with their own weapon whatever it takes B then you might be considered one of us. If you don't we'll leave you stranded by the side of the road no way back and that's a promise." Dom said. I gulped not much of a choice.

The heist was over quickly. I actually managed to knock the trucker out in the back of the head with his gun but not before he managed a few shots at us blocking our way. I felt guilty and relieved at the same time. I had managed to pull of and hopefully pass their test. We loaded the DVDs and cameras into the Honda's. It was hard labor but I did it. Dom looked at me as we loaded them back into their cars to be sold for cash the next day. "If you don't squeal you've passed the test. Party tonight everyone."

Leon went out to buy the beer. I approached Mai she smacked me. "Why didn't you stop him?" Mai sobbed into my arms. "Thank God your all right." "Mai?" I asked bewildered. "I was angry at you for being a cop but I guess I forgive you." "I guess that doesn't sound definite." I said. "We'll see you'll be under my watchful eyes." She said she kissed me than ran upstairs to her room. I loved that woman but god she was complicated.

We heard tires squalling and everybody looked outside. A dark blue Subaru was pulled into the driveway and Leon got out of the passenger side with the beer. A woman four foot eleven inches stepped out of the driver's side. She wore black leather top and white shorts. What had happened to Leon's car?

Editor's note: okay I know under no circumstance with Jesse working on the cars that they'd ever fall apart and they'd all be worried about Jesse but this is just the flow of the story.
