Guess which car! 🤩😏😎

DRIVER'S WARNING! KIDS, DO NOT TRY ANY OF THESE STUNTS IN REAL LIFE. 🚫⚠⬇

"Seven-hundred feet from the meeting point," Brook said to everyone on the call. "I need that diversion right about now guys!"

"Little busy, cops are spotlighting us right now!" Payton called back.

"Er, guys!" Brook said urgently, as the Mao You's cars drew dangerously close to his Ford.

"What do you think it is, dodging cops and criminals at the same time, easy?!" Paige reacted sarcastically. Just then, Soriano's Mazda drew up near them and gave the nearest Mao You car a deafening side-slam, sending it veering off course to crash into the road railing.

"I got your back, Brook." Soriano's words came reassuringly through the call connected to the radio. "Take the tunnel and make the swap. The Mao You will never expect the smoke and mirrors act we're about to pull."

"Yeah, we'll meet you at the other end!" Payton said.

"Just be quick!" Reece added. "We'll distract the Mao You."

"Got it, we'll call you back soon," he said and hung up the call. "Ready, Michelle?" Brook asked, glancing at her beside him. She gave him a confident smile.

"Ready." Brook drove straight through the dark, gaping tunnel that engulfed them but instead of driving to the other end, he turned to the right where a sectioned-off branch of the road stretched out, barred by a wire road-block fence. 

Brook smashed through it and disappeared through the smaller tunnel which lead them underground into a wide, sandy space of an unlit, unconstructed tract

Brook smashed through it and disappeared through the smaller tunnel which lead them underground into a wide, sandy space of an unlit, unconstructed tract. He slowed down and brought the car to a halt, turning back briefly to check the tunnel they had driven through for tails—but no one had followed. No one had seen them disappear.

"We did it!" Michelle said excitedly, making Brook smile.

"But we're not done yet. It's time for an upgrade." He and Michelle got out of the car and walked to a dark corner up ahead where a tarped object sat. Brook pulled off the tarp, revealing his glossy black and purple Bugatti.
