Blue Lights

Chapter 3

Erik woke up to the sound of an annoying bird outside his window. The bird's been there for a few weeks but he only remembers to do something about it when they wakes him up. Buddy is sitting at the door wanting to go out.

After Erik lets the dog out. He walks past Jordan's door and sees it's still closed so she must still be asleep. He leaves a note on the counter telling her he would be gone. He wasn't completely thrilled that she was staying there now but he didn't think it would be right to just leave her there without an explanation as to why he left.

He had to head to the garage for another car. He had to give his best one away and now had to work on his other one to make it just as good.

He got in his Holden Ute SS-V and headed to the garage.

"Hey Sid" Sid was the only street racer's mechanic. Him and his dad were the only ones that street racers would trust wouldn't go blabbing about the races.

"Hey Erik."

"Who's car is that for" Sid was holding an exhaust pipe in his hands.

"Your's. Well Jordan's. You seriously wreaked the bottom of that car."

"She should have to pay for that thing."

"It was her's in the first place"

Erik let out a chuckle at what he just heard "She still hasn't over that?"

"She spent 2 years in jail. I mean you could have just let her get in the car with you"

"Then I wouldn't have had 6 years with one of the best race cars in LA"

"Man! No wonder she hates you so much"

"In high school she had a huge crush on me" Erik says with a smirk.

"Stop shittin' me dude"

"Nah I'm serious. Freshman year. One of her friends came and told me. She never talked to that girl ever again." He said with a little smile. "Girls"

"What did you do?"

"Made it very clear that I didn't like her back"

"You told her?"

"Nup. We didn't talk till she showed up to her first blue light the first day she got her licence. She showed up in her dad's GT F and won her first race. I had to say something to her."

"Okay. What you need?" Sid asked obviously trying to change the subject.

"I need my old car."

Sid chuckles to himself when he hears the annoyance in Erik's vice. Erik just brushes it off. He is determined to beat Jordan and get that sweet car back. Erik knows how hard she worked on it. Every cent she made went straight to the car. There was always something new on the car everytime she came back with it.

Jordan woke up to find Erik's note and knew he would be at the garage all day. Erik's biggest flaw is his pride and will do anything he can to beat Jordan. That and his need for the best car in the race.

Jordan decided to head to the station. She knew she would have to explain why she was at a criminal's house all night. The criminal she was suppose to be putting behind bars.

Erik has two 'off' cars. Cars that he drives around when he's not racing. Jordan sees the keys sitting on the counter and goes out to see what car he's left  her.

"The guy who can afford a Ferrari has a 1994 Holden commodore."Jordan mumbled to herself as she got in the car.
