Fr The Next day I woke around 9, I got up and showered. I heard a knock on my door. It was Akiko, she was wearing a pink hoodie that exposed her belly, tight black pants and black and white converse shoes. "Hey baby" she said kissing me and stroking my hair. I told Akiko about everything that happened. Today was the day that my crew would dethrone Carlos. "Well then lets get started" Akiko said. We met up with Luis, Juan, Joe and Mickey. "Okay guys lets do this" Juan said. Hartgrove Village, it looked like a very nice neighborhood. It had a few Casinos, 2 big malls and 6 strip clubs. It was a cool place to be at night. Carlos called me on my phone. "There's 3 races tonite, the first Kazuo and Quentin, the next is against Paul, Matt, and Jose then Roberto, if you can beat them then I'll race you for your pink slip and control of the city" Carlos announced. The first race was me and Akiko against Kazuo and Quentin. It was a 3 lap circuit with heavy traffic. I geared off hitting the nos, and speeding off. Quentin was to the left followed by Akiko in 3rd and Kazuo behind in 4th. I kept a cool head dodging traffic, Kazuo nearly hit a van. The 2nd lap Akiko was in first with in second. Quentin caught up but Akiko cut through an alley so she was ahead. Quentin hit a small tree, denting his front and slowing him down. I saw Kazuo trying to sideswipe me but I rammed him off the road and he hit fence. The third lap I was in first again with Akiko in second. I won the race with ease. "Nice job" Akiko said jumping into my arms. Likewise I said running my hands through her hair and kissing her. The next race was a 2 lap circuit. It was me against Paul, Jose and Matt. I lined eyeing each of them. "I'll make sure you get embarrassed schmuck" Paul said. "Don't worry he'll be eating my dust" Jose said. At 1 I floored it, I studied each of their methods. Jose tries to run me run me off the road, Paul looks for shortcuts, and Matt just tries to use nos. I was in second for the first lap with Paul ahead. That Murcielago was pretty fast, I didn't think I would win. I saw Paul trying to go through a small back alley but he took a wrong turn and came to a dead end. I just started bursting out laughing, that was hilarious. I was in first place for the first time in the race. Jose was behind in second, he tried to come up on my left when I blocked him and he was stuck tailgating me. Watch the bumper I said. "Shut up" Jose called out. I hit the nos to get away and I was successful in doing so. Matt was behind me when he slammed the brakes to avoid hitting a traffic car. I hit the finish line in first place. "Nice job Willie" Juan congratulated. "Sweet job" Luis called out from his car. Just then Roberto pulled up in his Golf GTI. "Were racing a sprint race from Diablo Casino to the Gamestop" Roberto said. I rode to the location where the race was. I got there first, it was hardly any traffic out. Just then I saw Roberto's Golf speeding towards where I was at. He dodge several traffic cars and powerslid through the trailer of a semi in the intersection. Fuckin show off I said under my breath. Robert drifted circles around me before pulling up beside me. "If you think beating those guys was easy wait till you race me" Roberto said. Well were about to find out I shot back. That Golf was no joke, it had dual clutch and better turbo than mine. I let Roberto shift first because this guy likes to trade paint. Roberto proved to be very difficult, he the lead for most of the race. At the middle of the race I decided to make my move. I caught to Roberto, then he tried to run me off the road when I used the nos to edge ahead. He caught up again and tried to reclaim the lead but he lost control of his car when he went off road through a small park. I was ahead and I blew through the finish line. The rest of my crew was waiting for me in the park across the street. "You did it" Juan said, "Nice one" Akiko said. "This is it, the next race is against Carlos" Joe said. My phone run, it was Carlos. "Ok kid you wanna race with me?, you got it but don't be crying when I take your piece of shit car, the race is tonite at 8 prize is $50,000" Carlos said. How about I raise it to $100,000? I asked. "Oh ok lets do this $100,000 and your pink slip and the entire territory of Freemont City" Carlos said. Deal I answered. With that I hung up and explained to the rest of the crew. "Ta loco?(You crazy)" Juan asked,"$100 grand is that's alot of money" Juan added. "I believe in you can win" Joe said, "Yeah you got this" Luis said, "You got this baby" Akiko said. I headed home to get ready for the race.
