Rewritten: 6/10/18

The crews make their way down south to the Oregon border, taking the 5 Interstate as their fast route. They try to stay separated, mostly from Jake's crew knowing how dirty Logan's drivers are, desperate to reach LA by any means necessary. By the time they reached Portland, the two crews officially split off taking different directions as Jake's heads down close to the coastline while Logan continues on the main highway, thinking it was still faster. Jake's side however were trying to avoid as much traffic as possible, using their GPS's to avoid congestion farther down from the 5. Despite taking a long way, they wanted to keep the pace moving, knowing Logan may be stupid enough to take his crew through the jam of vehicles, using their GPS's to find other ways that were quicker to them.

Jake's crew head through countryside fields near Corvallis and into the hill regions passing Philomath. Eventually they make their way through the thick tree roads of Siuslaw National Forest, almost enjoying the rush through national parks in the regions and peeking out on the green landscapes on roads with less trees. It was only by late afternoon they reached the coastal roads and pushed on from there. Keeping an eye on their current position on the GPS, Logan's crew was still siding with Jake's on the main highway still. It was only a matter of time until both need a gas stop, let alone some quick food while getting off to stand up after 6 hours of sitting. Every second counted as they stock up on energy drinks to keep the energy going, but sooner or later each crew have agreed with Alex's 5-10s on phone to take one power sleep if necessary.

Unfortunately for both, state troopers would find their trails along the way, giving pursuit down the roads being chased by Chevy Corvette C6 Stingray units. For Jake's it was more difficult to outrun the units, even after crossing the California border they still dealt with Stingrays followed by 2 helicopters and highway roadblocks with spike strips. They had no choice but to lose them out of the coastal highway and back into the large forests and small towns. They barely escape after outrunning them through Redwood State Park, despite dealing with park ranger units and only a single helicopter. Too much time was lost after the pursuit, away from the coastal highway and too far away from the 5 interstate. It already struck evening at this point as the forest roads became too dark for the crew to drive through. San Francisco was still hours away from their location, and they had to stop for at least some rest. Eventually, they find a small town between the mountains, finding what looked to be a house-like hotel in Willow Creek. They hid their cars away from the road and tried to get some sleep for less than 4 hours.

When the sky was barely lit, they set off once again taking a number of hours until reaching the San Francisco checkpoint. Getting another full tank of gas, it was now here on out to reach Los Angeles without stopping. The crew cross the Golden Gate Bridge and stay by the coast all the way down. At this point both crews were apart a number of miles taking the same path. Logan's was leading ahead, but Jake's continue to draft through the narrow road while swerving around traffic in both lanes. More hours would pass as the following crew gets closer to the leading pack. They already pass through Santa Barbara with the sun already setting out in the ocean as they now take the 101-highway leaving the coast and cutting through the hills passing Oxnard and Thousand Oaks. The night was already set as they pass between the last mountain under a tunnel and see the glowing lights of the LA skyline. Jake was now homing in on Logan's drivers, only a few miles away from the finish leading them to Griffith Observatory.

It was now all for nothing; both crews were tired, but they were not going to lose coming this far. The two now clash each other after getting off the freeway and finding their way up to Griffith park. At this point, Logan was not gonna take any chances, ordering his crew to run Jake's group off the road by any means necessary, even if they have to sacrifice their cars to do so. Jake's take immediate action, only for them to split off to different roads while Jake goes after Logan's Ferrari. Logan would call him on phone.

Logan: "It's come to this, StreetRat. One screw up and I'll be taking your cars away. You better hope your crew could avoid my drivers cause they won't be able to make it out of these streets once they're dealt with."

Dwayne picks up: "Don't worry about us, Jake, just focus on taking that as*hole down. This is our only chance to defeat him."

Jake and Logan were now reaching up the hills, having no idea if any of their drivers will make it. Jake was furiously staying close, keeping up with his own car as he tries to pass Logan at any given opportunity. Logan began ramming from the side, trying to spin out Jake's Camaro or run him off the path. The tunnel was almost coming up as they continue to trade paint while avoiding lone traffic vehicles coming down the hill. Meanwhile up at the observatory, Alex Taylor's 5-10s, including Maxwell were waiting for the drivers to reach the parking lot. They could hear the loud engines echo from the hills, knowing they were getting close but unsure who was leading. Maxwell anxiously waits for them to arrive.

The narrow tunnel was approaching as the two drivers were still stuck alongside each other. Suddenly the 5-10s up the hill contacts them of a car passing through from the other side as the two eventually broke off with Logan taking the lead approaching the tunnel. Jake however wasn't stupid enough to go full speed while Logan ignores the warning, even when Jake warned him on his end. Turns out Logan didn't trust the warning, thinking the 5-10s were now purposefully tricking him by letting Jake win and that the motorclub had already turned on him before leaving Seattle. It would be a big mistake.

Jake: "Logan, slow down, there's seriously a car going through that tunnel, you're gonna wreck!"

Logan: "You're not fooling me, StreetRat, none of you will."

Taking the tunnel at full speed, the oncoming car suddenly sees the Ferrari coming, getting spooked and actually getting in the way by immediately breaking in a panic. Logan also gets spooked, trying to avoid the car in the narrow tunnel but was too late. The car's back corner hits the LaFerrari going on the right side, causing Logan to flip while his front left tire gets buckled making a full 360 flip out of the tunnel with 5-10 crews witnessing it down the hill. Jake sees the crash from behind, braking on time almost hitting the traffic car in the tunnel with debris everywhere. The light smoke clears with the Ferrari showing out of the tunnel on its wheels, unable to move. Jake makes his way to the wreckage and slowly drives up to Logan, seeing his stolen car destroyed up close. Getting a glimpse of the inside, Jake sees Logan still alive but with his forehead bloodied and breathing heavily. Both would look at each other only for Logan to struggle saying one more thing.

Logan: "You can't.. beat… me. My crew.. will finish first."

Jake responds: "Not without you they won't. (Contacts crew) Guys come in, where are you.

Alicia: "We're almost there, we managed lose Logan's drivers, but I'm afraid they're already ahead of us to the hill. You need to win this race."

Jake: "You don't have to worry about that. Just make sure all of you make it up here. Avoid the tunnel and take the other route. Logan's finished."

Alicia: "Wait.. What?"

Jake: "Logan crashed out outside the tunnel. The Ferrari's toast, but we can still win this if all of you finish in one peace."

Alicia: "We'll make it, Jake, and I'm sorry." (Ends)

Jake looks back at Logan: "Karma's a f*cking bitch aint it? It's only a matter of time until she got in your way someday, only to sacrifice my car for it. ..Maybe it was worth it." (Drives up to observatory to finish)

Jake reaches the parking lot to finish The Rush, leaving only all of his crew to finish soon after along with Logan's. While Alex's 5-10s and turned groups have celebrated Jake's crew's win, it was only a matter of time until cops figure out their location, getting a call from the driver that almost got hit by Logan's Ferrari. All the drivers split up and leave the area, only to find a safehouse located in Santa Monica where the old Streetrats HQ was located. The deal would be made the next day.

The old parking structure remains one of the 5-10 HQs in the west coast. With the V8, Alex Taylor inviting the crew inside, they lie low until the next day in the morning. 5-10 crews in the region would then meet up once again at the parking lot in Dodger Stadium, including Some 5-10 Outcasts being let in the state to take part of the meeting and deal. Jake and his crew would then meet with Logan's crew face to face to give up their vehicles, only for Logan to come in without the LaFerrari, being totaled up at Griffith Park. Still, Logan wanted to meet Jake one last time, limping and wearing a bandage on his forehead including other cuts around his body. Jake still wasn't too happy to meet him again including the rest of his crew. However, Logan would make a small smirk confronting Jake.

Logan: "Oh no, looks like I have no car to give back to you now. How irresponsible of me to crash it during our race. Your crew may have won my driver's cars, but I guess you're precious Ferrari aint included."

Jake: "You know something, Logan? After what I've been through with my crew, all the locations I've came across and how much time and miles I've put on this Camaro. I could care less anymore that you crashed my LaFerrari. All that matters is seeing you losing everything in the end."

Logan: "Heh, and so have you. You think you've won, StreetRat? All you did was remove me from the 5-10s and made them much weaker thanks to you Outcasts. You don't realize there're other factions and cartels in the country who are more powerful than the 5-10s, kid, that not even that chump over there (Alex) will be able to retake territories that you idiots left power vacuums for in the regions. So go ahead, drive freely like what you Outcasts want for this Motorclub, be defenseless once they start taking over. The 5-10s have now fallen I see."

Alex Taylor walks in: "I'll make sure to deal with that when it comes, as of now, your crew will be giving up your cars. You're now banished from the 5-10 MC."

Logan: "Whatever. I don't really care about driving anyway. Enjoy these cars, StreetRat, just remember what I said. Expect worse things to come your way. Let your reputation fester around the states for all I care. Others will soon come after you and your crew someday. And I'm not taking about racers." (Crew walks away in shame)

As they leave, Dwayne comments: "I would have executed that piece of sh*t, not letting him go."

Jake: "I don't think he'll be bothering us again, Carson. He has no power anymore."

Grease: "So… what now?"

Alicia: "We're free, Grease. We can do whatever we want now. We can sell these cars to rebuild my uncle's shop back home."

Grease: "You sure it'll be enough?"

Aaron: "Those are multi-million-dollar cars together to sell, enough to at least get you started."

Alicia: "Sigh… it's gonna take a while to rebuild everything though, unless we find a new place to settle where street racing is active. I think Miami has found a new garage business by now. Competition will be tough."

Jake thinks: "A lot of racing goes on here at night, at least I still think it does. If you're uncle doesn't mind moving all the way over here, he could find a garage to settle around town and give racers what they want. I heard the StreetRats are establishing back here and around Las Vagas. …I think we're done traveling out of state for now. Let's stay here for a while, earn ourselves some local reputation."

Aaron: "I'm down with that."

Grease: "Yeah, I'm already tired of sitting on my ass every eight hours straight anyways, I'm interested in checking this city out."

Dwayne: "We need a temporary place to stay though. Perhaps renting an apartment or some sort. Our vehicles will need a place to be stored as well."

Jake: "We can leave that to Max, should be here soon."

Alicia approaches and holds her arms around him: "Are you sure that's what you want to do, Jake? What about our dream?"

Jake: "That'll come soon, Baby. I guess I just feel homesick is all, but you're gonna love driving around here. I still know some good spots to race at."

Alicia: "I love you."

Jake: "You'll always will."

Alex approaches: "Hey, you got a minute? Now I don't normally do this and I know you have other plans on your mind, but how would you like to keep in contact with us by being a 5-10 member?"

Jake: "Me? But, I'm not an Outcast driver."

Alex: "Jake, the 5-10s have restored order thanks to your efforts out in the other regions. You don't have to earn yourself our ink, but with your crew's reputation, we'll be glad to help you out in case you decide to leave out of state again. We'll offer you cars to drive and safehouses for you to stay at. Just give a call wherever you're at and the 5-10s in the region will be glad to support you."

Jake: "Thanks, but I think we can handle ourselves. I think our former V2 could use a clean sweep by the way."

Alex: "I'll see what I can do, even clean your girl's debts of any marks by the 5-10. None of us will ever bother your crew again." (MC leaves area)

Jake: "Thanks for everything" (waves goodbye as they drove off)

Alicia comments: "You know, this tattoo's gonna make me regret ever joining them, let alone hiding it in certain places. …But, … It'll always remind me of meeting all of you guys.

Dwayne: "You'll get use to it. Unfortunately for me I may have to stay out of public after all the things I've done in certain areas."

Jake: "Oh come on, you think the cops are gonna notice you that easily."

Dwayne: "You don't know how much I've been through all these years with this scar on my neck. Least your girl aint got a bad rep with hers."

As the 5-10s now set off leaving the parking lot, Jake and his group take a moment looking out at the city skyline until Maxwell's StreetRats arrive with a few autoloaders to transport the extra vehicles. They wonder what the city could hold for them, now going back to local street racing while having Jake showing them around after going with the StreetRats MC. They would arrive at a garage east of Downtown near the LA River. For less than 2 years, this was their temporary new home and HQ. The cars were then sold off to an underground auction with the pink slips and keys receiving the amount they kind of expected. The money was transferred to Alicia's Uncle's account back in Miami, and in no time, he would find a location and foreclosure, heading to Las Vegas to open a new Multi-spec shop/garage.

As for LA, the crew will settle for awhile, until another possible event will have them going around the country once again.
