A street racer and a cafe

Ch.51 wraith

It was starting to get dark out. Kashou had just closed his shop for the day and asked me to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things.

"Yeah, so just these will be fine." Kashou said handing me the list of groceries.

"Alright, I'll be back in a bit then." I said grabbing my car keys and heading to the store.

I headed to the store, bought Kashou's groceries, payed for them and loaded them into my car. I got in my car, started it and pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road. I drove for a bit and decided to speed a bit, that was until a car turned on its brights and made me swerve. My car was hit by a much larger vehicle like a Humer or a big truck, my car spun and slammed into a building.

My head slammed into the rim of my steering wheel and back into the head rest of my seat. The Humer pulled over to my car and the window rolled down to reveal a bald man in his mid twenties talking on a cellphone, one thing stuck out though, he had a number seven tattooed on his right hand.

I heard him speak, but only barely.

"Yeah, he has to be dead, I hit his car at over 150 miles per hour, there ain't no way he's walking away from that.............he won't stop is this time, its only a matter of time before I run the racer show here in Ventura and this city will be know who the wraiths are."

He hung up his phone and drove off.

"C-Caleb you're.......gonna p-pay." I said before I passed out

*two hours later*

I woke up to the sound of a loud engine and slowly opened my eyes. I looked around and noticed I was in a car, looking to my left I saw Coconut driving. Thank god, I thought.

"Hey." I said sitting up.

"Thank god you're alive Royal, I thought I lost you." Coconut said.

"Hey, it takes more than a car crash to stop this man." I said petting Coconuts head.

"Are you gonna be ok, can you walk?" Coconut asked.

I shuffled my feet in a walking motion and felt no pain, next I moved my arms, hands and fingers and felt slightly sore.

"My arms feel a little sore but other than that I feel fine, speaking of fine, where's my car? I asked.

"On the trailer." Coconut said gesturing to the back window.

I looked through the window seeing my car.

"So whats its condition?" I asked a bit scared.

"Just small damage, the windshield, right fender, front bumper, and hood will all need replaced, other than that everything's fine." Coconut said.

"Good, I can't afford to get a new car right now, tell Kashou I'm sorry about his groceries." I said.

"Ox went and got them when I told Kashou you were in a car crash.

We stopped at a red light and Coconut latched onto me with a hug and started crying into my chest.

I put one arm around her and petted her head with the other.

"I'm still here, its gonna be alright Coconut, shhhhhh." I said trying to comfort her.

Coconut eventually let go of me and returned to driving. We soon got back to the bakery when Cinnamon and Karol tackled me onto the couch crying as well.

I signed. "Guys, I'm fine, a little sore but for the most part fine." I said.

"Don't scare us like that again." Cinnamon cried.

"I won't, I promise." I said.

"You swear?" Karol asked.

"I swear." I said

"Good, cause I can easily switch up our playing field." Karol said with a wink.

(Royal.........run.)

"I hate to interrupt this little snuggle fest but did you manage to see who crashed into you Royal?" Ox asked.

"Yeah, I don't know for sure, but I feel it was Caleb, the leader of the Wraiths, a street racing gang that tried to run the while Bayview racing scene and tried yo prevent me from winning races at what ever the cost." I said.

"Sounds like his style of work, crash into your car, nearly kill you, and then act like it never happened while he approaches on your territory." Ox said.

"So that's how he treats people in his way, damn near kills them?" Azuki asked crossing her arms.

"Yeah, so the way I beat him last time is I kept winning races and winning all the sponsors that were offering to local racers, he wanted to race all or nothing, I beat him and he had nothing." I said.

"So how are you gonna beat him this time?" Coconut asked.

"Second vers same as the first, now lets fix my Supra so I can put his career in a hurst." I said.

(Bars)

I'm back and so is the suspense, lets see how Royal handles the return of Caleb in the next chapter, stay tuned
