Gat lost sight of her for a moment in the crowd. Finally spotting her watched as she headed back over to the guy she just talked with previously taking his phone from him. Gat glared daggers at the guy.

Shaundi came to the driver's side, "Shit, people here know her. She has eyes on her at all times? She nearly killed me for almost spilling her name at the club. Can she really race?"

Gat was trying to play it cool. "Yeah, best fucking racer in Stilwater." Without missing a beat, he walked through the crowd over to where the two of them were flirting. Gat placed an arm around her neck, glaring at the guy the whole time. "Baby girl, Daddy needs you now." He led her away.

"Gat, why?" Ky whispered, thinking something was wrong. She looked around and thought she saw someone she knew.

"Aww, baby, you taken?" The guy she left called after her.

Ky went to say something, but Gat cut her off. "Yes." Then kissed the top of her head. Li's eyes narrowed. "Chill, you know the deal. Head in the game, ripping them off, not sleeping with them." Gat's plan was to snuff it out before the fire got hot. It was bad enough the outfit she had on had eyes glued to her.

Li's mouth opened and closed. It pissed her off she wasn't just gonna let it slide this time. "Every fucking time with you, new name Cockblock. I will have you know I don't sleep with anyone." She growled out and could not shake the feeling someone was really watching her.

Gat chuckled, thinking of that possibility. "How about me then?" he mumbled over the music and crowd, then shaking the thought from his head.

Kyouki waved to the dude once again, then felt a sharp sting on her ass. "Johnny! Cut it the fuck out!" She swung on Johnny, who caught her hand, turning her around and had her arm behind her back. "Ow damnit. Get off me." Ky grumbled.

Gat looked around before he swatted Li hard on her ass. Letting her go when she said, pushed her forward. That ass of hers tempted him to do it again, but they had people watching them closely. Several still greeting the woman walking in front of him. Gat waved Carlos and Shaundi over.

Ky leaned in the car sitting in the driver's seat, Gat handed her a pair of sneakers from the trunk. "Shaundi, get in the car."

Shaundi looked scared, "Why?" Going to the passenger side, taking Aisha's place.

"They handicap me." Ky should have known it would happen. Her car was tuned for her weight, not additional. Carlos had worked a miracle getting the car ready for racing on short notice. Ky just wanted her car back. It was sheer coincidence Shaundi was hip to the race scene.
Johnny started laughing. Li threw a heavy boot in his direction. Kyouki got in and adjusted the seat. The race was starting in seven minutes.
Li took her other boot off and put on her sneakers. "You know Maurice likes to do this to me." She handed the boot to Carlos and told Johnny to get the other car to park in the spot she was about to vacate. Snapping her fingers for Shaundi to focus and to fasten up her seat belt.

"Five minutes..." Came from the megaphone, announcing the time left to ready up.

Carlos seemed a bit worried, as he leaned in the window with worry all across his face. "Yo, can you do this?"

Li popped the hood, turned the nos line on, she got back in, starting the car. "Of course I got this. See you at the finish line."

They pulled up to the line as Shaundi buckled in tight. They were in for two laps around the marked locations. Li sat there as the flag dropped. Despite that, she sat.

"Go, the race started!" One spectator. shouted.

Another was looking at the cars that had already left. Urging the well known to go. "Empress go!"
