Woke up around 8 in the morning I was a little cold so turned off the air conditioner and opened the window in my room. I took a shower and threw on a new white shirt with a pair of black jeans and some black Adidas. Get a knock at my door so I answer it. It was Juan, "Hey Willie what's up?" Juan said. Not much I said. Juan had a 12 pack of beer. "It's for the game later" he said. That Juan always is the life of the party I thought. "Check this, I was in Yankeeville racing a couple of amateurs and one of em told me that one of Carlos' guys is calling us out for some races" Ok good I was gonna make a couple of moves against the SSK. Mickey and Joe are gonna be racing with us, Akiko's visiting her parents in Bayview and Luis is working on his new car. We headed to Sprint race in Yankeeville. We were racing against Paul and a green Ford Focus. Me and Joe lined up at the starting line. "I'm gonna total your pathetic car" Paul said. Fuck off guido I shouted from my car. I shot off ahead of Paul and the green Ford trying to swerve back and to use traffic to my advantage. Paul slammed his brakes to avoid hitting a truck and the Focus hit a traffic car. I gunned ahead full speed looking in mirror with just Joe behind me. I cut through a shopping mall and through a small alley. I shot through the finish line doing a 360 spin and making my exhaust ignite fire. I split the $30,000 prize with Joe and we headed to the next race. The Next race was also a sprint. Me, Mickey, and Juan were against Quentin, Kazuo, and Jose. We all lined up and gunned our engines. I geared off ahead being neck and neck with Jose with Quentin not far behind. Mickey was in first and he cut through the mall and through a park jumping far ahead, his Porsche was no joke. I told Mickey to keep going ahead while I was in second with Juan and Jose tailgating in 3rd. I signaled for Juan to follow through an alley, Jose followed along with Kazuo but Quentin missed It. Damn I said watching Jose spin out and Kazuo nearly hitting Jose but slammed his brakes. I hit the finish line in 3rd behind Juan and Mickey was there waiting. "Damn Mickey you were in a hurry" Juan said. "Put a new engine in my Porsche, I wanted to test it out" Mickey said. We headed to another race, it was a 2 lap circuit. I was against a red Mazda mx5 and a red Mazda rx8. "Let's get it" said mx5 driver a young African American kid about my age. Alright you ready? Come on I said. I shifted off first and let the two racers ahead. I was in last for most of the first lap but when the second lap came I who ahead with the nos passing the amateurs and taking my place in 1st. I won the race with no trouble, it may have been my easiest race in a while. With that I was about to head off when Matt appeared in his shiny green g35. "Shadow bitch your up against me next" he said. Ok lets go I said blood boiling in my veins. I lined up with him at the starting line, it was a sprint race. The prize was $25,000 and the territory of Yankeeville. I looked at Matt one last time before shifting into 1st gear. I was side by side with Matt so I let him edge ahead to tease him. It looked like Matt was going to win but I cut right in front by using a shortcut I found through a construction site. I came out collected the 25,000 from the woman who was directing the race and waited for Matt. Matt drove beside me. "I let you win" he said driving off. Yeah.. right I said laughing. The others caught up and I told them what to do next. Ok Yankeeville is ours now, I want the Freedom District too so we're gonna race there next I said. "Ok" Juan said, "lead the way" Mickey said. Ok lets roll out I said. We rode off to the Freedom District, our next territory.
