Chapter 40 – Corvette
"Ah my bike! What did you do to my bike?" Jason cried after Huey brought him back the handle bars. Huey had returned to the school in Caesar's truck with his dread headed friend, his brother and the now safe Jazmine an hour after he left on Jason's bike. In the parking lot Ed and Rummy waited in their black Escalade watching over them.
"It kind of skidded half a block and was run over by a school bus," Huey said handing him the mangled handle bars which Jason took carefully in his hands like he was holding a thousand year old book.
"My baby how short our time was together," Jason continued with the melodramatics.
"I'm sorry, but it needed to happen to save Jazmine," Huey said hoping it made some difference.
"So you destroyed my baby girl to save yours," Jason said earning a cough from the blonde basketball player standing behind him and he gulped down his next words replacing them with, "Ah I mean its okay it's only a bike. It's not like it was a person."
"Dat's better," Cindy said putting her hand on his shoulder and squeezing. "Now let go of da handle bars."
Jason looked down at the mangled handle bars of his bike before dropping them on the ground his bottom lip quivering a little. "Happy now."
"Ya know what dis means right," Riley said with smile. "Ya got to get a new one."
Jason stood up his mangled handle bars forgotten with the prospect of a new car. If there was one thing to take away the hurt of a lost vehicle it was a new one. "I did get a nice bonus the other day for making the finals."
"Den it's settled we're going to the car dealer," Riley said punching Jason in the shoulder. "I'll tell Ed and Rummy to follow us."
With only gym left for the day Huey got the team excused citing an emergency practice and everyone piled into Huey's Mustang or Caesar's truck as Cindy had come to school that day on Jason's bike. Ed and Rummy pulled up behind them as they crossed town to the Chevy dealer. Huey pulled up to the dealership and found an empty parking spot before meeting the rest of the group at the dealership door.
"You should get one of those. Bitches love men with trucks," Ed pointed to a black Chevy Silverado.
"Nah I don't want a truck. I want something fast," Jason said.
"What about a Volt?" Jazmine whispered still trying to get over the fright she had suffered through earlier.
"Hmmm...maybe."
"Naw nigga ya can't just get any car. Ya'll Jason James, ya need a special car," Riley said his eyes locked on a convertible Corvette.
"Huey's already got a convertible. I want something with a hard roof. I want it to withstand the weather back home," Jason said but his eyes did not leave the section of the dealership that was showing off Corvette models. "I do like the Corvette though."
"Ya gonna dive a vette in the snow. Ya can't do dat," Riley said a look of horror in his face.
"I'm not going to drive it when there is lots of snow," Jason assured him.
"Can I help you?" a porky dealer in a tacky blue suit bottoms and pinstripes dress shirt with sweat marks showing asked them noting their particular interest in the Corvette a car that should have been outside any teens budget.
"Do you guys have the Z06 in?" Jason asked the dealer.
"Yes right over here," the dealer said pointing around the corner of the display where the Corvette Z06 was on a raised dais facing the window. "But I don't think you can afford a car like that."
"As my friend over here says, I'm rich bitch," Jason smirked looking back at Ed. "I can afford the car. The question is who fast can you get me one of these?"
"Well for a friend of the Wunclers we can have one of these ready for you tomorrow," the dealer said and Jason smiled.
"Then I'll get one. I assume we have some paperwork to fell out," Jason said. "Do you have a sheet with the colour options and special features I can get?"
"Right here," the dealer said pulling out a small booklet from near the car's stand a large smile on his face. Today was going to be a big payday for him. "I'll go draw up the initial paperwork while you decide what you want."
"Ya should get da Jetstream Blue Metallic," Riley said looking at the paper upside down.
Off to the side Cindy was standing with Huey and Caesar. "Five says he picks something in orange," she whispered to them.
"I'll take that. I say he goes yellow or some other odd colour just to stand out more," Caesar said.
"I got five on red," Huey decided to join in.
"I'll get the Inferno Orange Metallic," Jason said and Cindy held out her hand.
"I told ya. He always gets orange," Cindy smiled smugly. "Now pay up."
"Shouldn't ever bet against the girlfriend," Caesar grumbled as he and Huey pulled out five dollar bills and put them in her hand.
"Have you made your selections?" the dealer asked after coming out of his office.
"Yeah," Jason replied.
"Then step into my office and we can hammer out the details," the dealer said motioning to his office with a giant wide smile. Jason followed him into the room leaving everyone else outside.
"Hey isn't that Stacy," Jazmine said pointing to the parking lot with the blonde and black haired girl was walking away from a white Ford Escort. Almost immediately Caesar ducked behind Huey. "You still haven't worked things out yet."
"I haven't even tried," Caesar said watching the Revolvers' Quarterback as she entered the dealership from the space between Huey's side and his arm.
"Then maybe you should talk things out right now," Jazmine said and Caesar gave her a look of complete horror guessing what she was about to do. "Stacy!"
Stacy looked over at them in surprise. "Jazmine and the guys what are you doing here?" she asked walking over to them. "Hi Caesar."
"Jason is buying a new car," Jazmine said. "He's in there right now finalizing things."
"He's in there with my father," Stacy said looking into the office where the dealer and Jason were haggling over the price.
"That's your father. He works in Woodcrest," Caesar gulped shying further behind Huey.
"Yeah he was just transferred to this dealership a few months ago," Stacy said. "I was coming to drop off his lunch he forgot at home." She showed them a blue lunch bag. "Who come you haven't called Caesar?"
"Uhhh...umm...I was busy," Caesar lied. "And you said you hated me."
Stacy laughed a high pitch laugh flashing them her glowing smile. "I don't hate you. Why would you think that?"
"You practically screamed it in my face several times during our game," Caesar said standing up straight now but unwilling to remove his shield in Huey.
"It was the heat of the game," Stacy waved her hand at him. "I didn't mean it, you should know that. I can't hate you."
"Really?" Caesar asked brightening.
"Yes silly. I've been waiting for you to ask me out for two days but you haven't even called I was getting a little depressed."
"Ask you out," Caesar repeated. "A movie?" He managed to squeeze out of his constricting throat and Huey rolled his eyes another lost to the white woman.
"Tomorrow, Eight o'clock. Come pick me up," Stacy said quickly as he father's door opened and Jason came out followed by her father.
"Stacy dear what are you doing here?" her father asked just as surprised to see her there as the gang was earlier.
"You forgot your lunch," Stacy said holding out the lunch bag. "How do you manage to forget something so important?"
"I was preoccupied," her father said before turning to Jason. "So the car will be delivered to the Wuncler Estate tomorrow evening."
"I look forward to it," Jason said.
"What car did you get?" Stacy asked.
"He got the Corvette Z06," her father said happily. "Got me a good commission too."
"Where did you get the money for something like that?" Stacy asked shocked that he could afford something that expensive.
"You think I play for Wuncler for free. I make tens of thousands of dollars a game to play in this tournament," Jason said. "I can afford more than this if I wasn't sending money home."
"Are all of you getting paid to play?"
"No only he is. Wuncler imported him from Canada," Huey said. "Can we go now? I want to get everyone to the field before something happens again. We have some new plays to learn given today's events."
"Nasty plays?" Riley asked hopefully.
"Possibly," Huey said and they said a short good bye to Stacy and her father while Stacy mimed a phone at Caesar as the left.
Once outside their attention was grabbed by the honking of a car horn. Parked on the side of the road was a yellow Honda Accord. "I told you I would get out Huey and this isn't over. I'll see you again before the game I promise," Cairo shouted at them from the driver's seat before flipping them the bird and with screeching wheels sped off.
"I guess things aren't over with him yet," Caesar said.
"You guys better learn these plays. I don't want him leaving that field in one piece," Huey scowled remotely unlocking his Mustang while behind him Jason and Riley had large evil grins on their faces. They had a pass to use the Cross Cleave again.
Cairo is out again. What does he have in store for Huey and the gang? What plays does Huey have in mind?
