Espionage

Queen

H-how?

Red thought as he was left dumbfounded after the race. He still can't believe how the hell did he end up being the loser.

Ready...set...go!

The two cars swiftly run when they heard the signal go.

As expected Red is in the lead, he was already more than half of the first lap while Cole has just passed the half of it.

Despite that you can see no worries or fear on Britt's face instead she was just grinning widely like a chesire cat while watching the race.

On the other hand the Dukes as usual were bored.

Red peeked at the rear view mirror of his car and see the big distance between him and his opponent. Currently he was on the half of the 2nd lap while Cole has just finished the first lap.

Heh, piece of cake. Hanggang salita lang pala ito eh. Akala mo naman kung sino. He said to himself but didn't let his guard down as he add more speed to his car in order to finish this match and embarrass the arrogant midget.

Meanwhile Cole is just relaxed even though she's far behind. Little did they know that she's just observing Red's technique that's why she's letting him to go first.

At the same time Cole is impressed that the guy didn't underestimate her because although he is leading he still added more speed to assure that she'll not get pass him. Meaning he's really a skilled racer but not skilled enough to defeat her, she thought.

Nang makalampas na si Red ng 2nd lap bigla nalang nag-iba ang kutob niya. Parang may mali sa paligid, naging mas tahimik at parang lumakas ang tunog ng makina niya.

Tinignan niya ang kaliwang side mirror maging ang rear view mirror at nakitang wala ang sasakyan ni Cole kaya naman inakala niyang malayo na masyado ang pagitan nilang dalawa.

Ngunit agad siyang napatingin sa kanyang kanan nang marinig ang isang busina. Nanlaki ang mata niya sapagkat di niya napansing magkapantay na pala ang takbo nila. Kaya naman pala mas malakas ang tunog ng makina dahil magkalapit na ang dalawang sasakyan.

Kahit nga ang kaninang bored na mga Dukes ay nabuhayang manuod ng laban. Napatigil rin si Nero sa pagkalikot ng kanyang rubics ngunit wala paring pagbabago kay Mori.

Kitang kita ang pagtataka sa mukha ni Red sa kung paano siya naabutan ni Cole gayong kanina ay malayo pa ang agwat nila.

Naputol ang kanyang pag-iisip ng muli itong bumusina at kumaway sa kanya sabay ang pagharurot ng kotse nito.

Hindi agad nakapagreact si Red sa pagkagulat ngunit ng makitang medyo lumayo na ang agwat nila ay pinaharurot niya rin ang sasakyan.

Ngayon ay kahit anong gawin ni Red di niya magawang malagpasan ang kotse ni Cole. Hindi niya inaasahan na may binatbat talaga ang kalaban.

All along it was just a facade to hide his true skill.

Masasabing niya ring baliw ito dahil delikado ang paraan ng kanyang pakikipagkarera. He's not using his brakes when making a turn which is really dangerous because he can bump the walls of the course but still Red saw that Cole's turns were very exact and calculated.

Despite all of that, Red didn't lose hope and drive at his best but unfortunately lose in the battle.

Naputol nalang pagbabalik tanaw ni Red ng may kumatok sa bintana ng kanyang sasakyan at nakita roon si Cole.
