The Bewitching Race - Chapter 3: The tenacious one
Entering the city, she sighed with relief. She was almost home free. She has been on vacation in the west coast for about a month and only now returning home. Another name she’s known for is Twinkie, no one knew her real name not even her own best friends. It was a hazard if anyone knew. Being one of the top 10 Racers in the country, she has a particular skill too. Gathering Information, Or rather, she knew too much. It was her main reason to go on such a long vacation. Being chased often for precious information she may know was wearing her down. Cops, Mafia’s and even other racers we’re trying to catch her. Her day job was to manage a cafe, along with her best friend known as Vain who was the lead servant.
Entering the city’s main highway and watching the colorful lights of every building, she was going down memory lane. She was thinking to quit the scene after some much resting time. She quickly snapped out of it when she noticed something familiar speeding up behind her. It was a jet black 1985 Buick Grand National, a car she knew all too well. “You’ve got to be kidding me... “
The car was owned by Giro aka Tenacious G. He was a racer in the top 10 as well, except he had joined the undercover police force 4 years ago. Only someone like Twinkie knew about it, to any other racer he was just a racer like any other. She shifted to 4th gear, and tried to shake him off using the traffic. Unexpectedly, she heard a voice calling her out in the CB radio.
“Welcome home Twinkie. I was wondering when you’ll finally return” the male voice said. Slightly shocked, she picked up the mic “If it isn’t Tenacious G. Sounds like you finally found my radio channel after all these time.”
“Finally did. I will have to thanks the convoy later.” he said with a grin “Now, now; don’t try to shake me off so soon, want to talk over coffee”. He sped up and brought his car next to hers and waved his hand at her.
Sometimes to her he was a bit of a pain. He always tried to get her to chat with him for reasons unknown, but since she knew he was an undercover cop, it’s not a risk she’d soon take. “This again. Huh... wait that exhaust doesn’t sound right..... Did you swap a V8 Twin turbo in that thing!?!?!?!?”
“Oooh you noticed? Yes i have! So you know you’re not getting away from me this time!” he teased.
Twinkie whined to herself before looking at him while he was waiving. “Fine, how’s this. Race me to the first intersection at the top of killbear valley. If you win, il give in and go for that coffee she played this to her advantage as her condo is locate on top of that hill.
He showed her a thumb up “Perfect! I’m feeling lucky tonight!” he quickly downshifted to 4th, and sped up ahead of her.
“Tenacious G. He most certainly lives up to his name. At least his cute” she smiled before catching up to his rear.
