[ Monaco, January 16, 2021 ]

- Max Verstappen

"Can we call Vic and tell her how horrible this suit is? Let's send her a picture so she can see how horrible I look in this suit."- I say and adjust once again the tie that tightens my neck - "I refuse to wear this tie" - I look at my younger sister, and although she and Victoria share the same first name, nothing about them is the same, Vic is brunette and my sister is blonde, Vic has beautiful green eyes and my sister has beautiful blue eyes just like mine, Victoria is my younger sister and I can tell she is a female version copy of me and much nicer - "Victoria? Do you hear me talking to you ?" - I say and wake my younger sister up from the trance she is in.

" Max, look what I just saw here on the news" - Victoria gets to her feet and walks towards me while not owing to her eyes from her phone - " Red Bull Racing's newest signing, Victoria Jones was in an accident this afternoon." - she says and shows me the picture of Vic's car destroyed - " Apparently the new pretty face of Red Bull was on her cell phone at the time of impact, not stopping at the red light, which caused another car to crash into her." - Victoria finishes reading and shows me the rest of the news release.

"Victoria was reportedly transported to The Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace"-I finish reading and start walking towards the outside of the apartment.

"Max, where are you going?" - Victoria looks at me, she is wearing a beautiful black dress, with a slit in her left leg, her hair is perfectly straight and only on one side

"To see how Victoria is." - I say and start looking for my car keys.

"What about the gala?" - she says and walks towards me and takes her phone out of my hand and hands me mine - "Besides Kelly should be here soon." - she says

"Tell her I had to take care of some problems and I'll be at the gala, ask Victoria, shit, Victoria no, I'll call Christian to send a car to pick you up" - I say and finally find the keys to my Aston Martin and Victoria quickly takes the keys from me - "If Kelly's isn't supposed to know where you're going, if you get to the hospital in the Aston Martin everyone will know it's you." - she says and grabs her purse and hands me the keys to her Audi A3 - "Take my car, I'll take Kelly to the gala and you meet me there." - she says and I take the keys from her palm and head for the exit again, I get in the elevator and go down to the garage and take Victoria's car and get out of the garage, the sun is already starting to set in Monaco and view is breathtaking, I take my cell phone and look for Vic's number, I call but no one answers, I try calling again isn't avaliable - "Pick up Vic." - I say and call again, I quickly look up Christian's name and after ringing three times he hangs up the call, I try again and again the call is refused, and I try again.

"Max, I really can't talk right now." - Christian says on the other end of the line, his tone of voice is calm and low, as if he is somewhere he can't talk.

"You're with her aren't you?" - I question and speed up, I know I shouldn't be taking chances and going against the rules, but I really need to get to the hospital.

"What are you talking about Max?" - he questions.

"Victoria's, I just saw on some Instagram page that she had an accident? Are you with her?" - I say

"Yes I am, I came to the hospital, but everything is fine Max, she is fine, it was more the impact, she has nothing serious, she is just doing some tests for prevention." - he says and my heart is more at ease

"I'm on my way there" - I say and overtake another one of the cars on the road - "5 minutes and I'm there." - I delink my cell phone and throw the passenger seat with it, not even 5 minutes later I am parked at Hospitalier Princesse Grace, I get out of the car and walk into the emergency room - "Good evening, I'm looking for Victoria Jones." - I say to the front desk girl
