EMMA-BROOK O'CONNOR

Han, Roman, Dom, Brian and I went out to get some cars. Not just some normal race car... police cars. I've been waiting to drive one of these. "Don't hurt yourself" Gisele said as we all hopped out of the van and jumped the fence. 

I climbed down and ran towards the nearest police car. "Oh boy" I said as I picked the lock and hot wired the car. Easy. We all met up at a random traffic light. "It's been a while since I've been behind the wheel of one of these" Brian spoke. 

"First time I've ever been in the front seat" Dom said as I scoffed. Roman and Han pulled up. "Hey, Rome! What took you so long? I thought for sure you'd be showing up with some chrome spinners or something" I mocked as he started laughing. "Real funny" Rome said as he stopped laughing. 

I laughed. "I got a hundred thousand that says I can take you all in the next quarter-mile" Roman said. "Yeah your broke ass has got a hundred grand" I mocked again. "If we pull off this job, I will" Roman said. 

"The next two lights. Hundred thousand" Roman offered. "We don't pull this job off, we're probably dead anyway. Let's make it a million" Han changed the offer. Not bad. 

"I like that. All right, a million-dollar, quarter-mile, what do you say Em?" Brian asked me as if he thought I forgave him for what he said the other night. "We racin' or not?" I said, not making any eye contact. "All right, then" Brian said. "You only live once. Let's do it" Roman spoke again. 

"What do you say, Dom?" Brian asked Dom. "We talking or we racing?" Dom said as I smirked. "Just don't cheat this time" Brian said. "Got to let that go" Dom smiled. 

We all revved our engines and waited for the green light... but someone got too excited. Roman. He left before the light even turned green. He then turned his lights on. "Always bringing the party, typical Roman" I said as I slammed my foot on the accelerator as soon as the light turned green. 

Roman and I were in front, then Brian drove next to us. Dom sped past all of us. "Don't make it too easy for me boys" Dom said. Han then sped past as Brian and I raced for 4th place. Roman behind us. "Not this time Dom" Brian said as he drove past me. Now it was me and Han. 

"Hey Han" I said as I sped past him. "You got to want it Brian" Dom said as they both raced for 1st place. Now, all of us were in a line going across. Dom looked at me and then at Brian. Dom, Brian and I were in the lead. I gave Dom and nod. We both let Brian win this round. "Yeah! Owned you! Owned you!" Brian shouted. 

"Still hate you brother" I said as we all drove back to the warehouse. 

OLD WAREHOUSE

Everyone got out of their new cars. "Good race, O'Connor" Dom said as he walked past us. "Thanks Dom" Brian said as I walked past him. "Em- still pissed at you" Brian said as I cut him off. 

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for that shit?" Brian smiled as he and Roman shook hands. "I told you he didn't see it" Han said. "Your man and your sister right there. They let off the throttle at the line. You didn't do nothing. They let you win" Roman explained as he and Han walked away. 

"Bullshit"

THE NEXT DAY

Mia was out shopping. I was working on one of the police cars like everybody else. I had some music playing in my ears. Hey Ma by Pitbull and J Balvin ft. Camila Cabello. The Spanish version. I rolled under the car to check if everything was okay underneath. 

"Cómo qué? Como tú quiera', a tu manera, Are you single? Quítate las payamita' pa' que tú veas No soy un mono vestido de seda Esas mujeres 'tán caliente' y mucho más Te queman por aquí, te queman por allá" I sang along with Pitbull's Rap.
