With but one thing on her mind, Rei was determined to lose the cycling psycho. "So you like games eh?" she called out looking straight ahead before pressing the breaks, sending the red bike shooting ahead. Smirking she allowed herself to tease the biker and follow him from behind, and flashed her headlights.
Obviously the guy would turn back, and the moment he did she leaped into a cylinder that was being hauled into the air by a crane and ran a full 360 as she rode counter clockwise, hitting her maximum torque speed and range. Once she was through the cemented funnel, she found herself speeding through the air and over the large wooden fence that framed the construction site. She landed on her back wheel which planted itself right in front of both Throttle and Modo.
"Gah!" Gasping, the tanned Martian was forced to skid to a halt before commenting,"There's something very strange about that girl.."
Modo put on a frown, "Didn't know Charley could pull off something like that.." At that moment he heard Vinnie's signature "AHAHAAAHAWWWWWWWWW! Who's the baddest mamajama in the universe!" as he skidded to a rough landing a few paces ahead of the biker girl.
Rei couldn't help but grin, she had to admit, this guy had guts, though she wasn't very inclined to socialize with strangers at this point in time-especially at this late hour. Taking a turn into a dark alley she disappeared into the darkness.
Vinnie on the other hand didn't really notice the girl had gone until he'd caught her banking a sudden right into an alley on his rear view mirror. He slammed his breaks in reflex. "Where'd she go?"
"Don't ask me bro, but I have a weird feeling about this.." Modo commented darkly as he pulled over next to his confused friend on the red sports bike.
Throttle was silent too, "There's only one way to be sure," the tanned mouse finally stated as if reading his bros' thoughts.

Back at the Last Chance Garage, Charlie had finally reached the last page of the letter, and was quite surprised to find the guys had returned empty handed. Before she could even speak or protest, Vinnie broke in. "You wouldn't believe what just happened!"
"What, they ran out of hot dogs?" Charlie added sarcastically before leaning on the tabletop still clinging onto the last page of her letter. She just had a few sentences to go and stole a glance at the last phrases as Vinnie carried on. "No! We only met the only the most single most coolest biker babe in the universe!" Edging closer, Vinnie threw Charlie a wink before nudging her playfully and affectionately, "I didn't know you could ride like that!"
Still stuck on the memory of the afternoon Charlie chuckled, "Well there's a lot that you don't know," she beamed.
Pulling in Modo took off his helmet and looked around as if expecting a ghost to jump out of a corner.
"You all right?" Charley noticed the strange look in her friend's eye.
"Did you go out on another ride tonight babe?" Throttle quizzed as he pulled in a second after Modo did while taking his own helmet off, "No why?" Charlie drew a frown to match Modo's.
"Ah..." Throttle commented turning to Modo then Vinnie who walked up to them, "If you weren't out then who-" Vinnie began only to bite his tongue the moment the sound of a bike's engine caught their attention- inviting a sudden forced silence.
"Stay here babe," Throttle told Charley before walking ahead.
"But-" Charley cut in only to meet the worried eyes of Modo and decided to comply just this once.
After a long anxious pause Vinnie broke out, "Hey.. isn't that-"
"Oh momma," Modo threw out.
Throttle just stood dumbfounded, for the girl before them was no stranger.
"Guys what's going on?" Charley pushed through the trio who now stood at the front door staring at a girl who'd just taken off her helmet. The moon had cast a shadow that hid most of her face, but by the feminine outlook the mechanic could only guess one thing..the guys were star-struck once again. If this was going to be a routine she figured they could just go get their own place to bunk.
Dressed in a fitting pair of pants and knee high boots with several boot straps to keep it in place, the character before the four dismounted and leaned on her right leg as she nestled her tinted helmet under her right arm. What dressed her torso was a normal black tank and a dark biker vest adorned with a furry rimmed collar in light white to cream shades; specks of grey and black scattered across the pelt. Criss-cross belts decorated her hips where a couple of lose chains dangled. "Charlene?" Rei called out.
Eyes dropped to Charley before the four called out in unison "Ray?"
