Cars zoomed along the mountain pass. It was a Monday night, no one was on the road at this hour. The young man in the blue S13 smiled, he was winning. 

He pedaled the gas, he was getting cocky. His teammate frowned counter steering the corner. The teammate cursed. "What the hell is this crap? My suspension is brand new! How am I loosing?"

A squirrel jumped across the road. The S13 driver stayed calm, being more experienced, he slowly turned out of the way to avoid it. 

The teammate panicked. "What the--!!??!?" He slammed the brakes skidding out. His car slammed against the mountain pass road. Steam left the hood, the car was totaled from the impact. 

"Kaito! Are you ok?" The S-13 Driver asked.

He slumped against the steering wheel. "Get-- get a doctor..." He said, blood all over his forehead.

The young man opened his eyes sluggishly. "Finally! You're awake!" The doctor said looking up from his clipboard. 

"Uhh... where am I?" He asked.

"Saitama City Hospital." The american said, "You had internal bleeding, possible mental damage from the impact could've left you paralyzed, you should've stayed at home tonight kid."

"My car? Where's my car?" Kaito asked nervously. 

"Your Sileighty? It got totaled." The doctor said checking his clipboard.

 "Crap!" Kaito said.

"You're truly lucky to be alive, if your friend hadn't driven you himself, you probably would've bled out." The doctor said reprimanding Kaito.

"When will I be able to race again?" Kaito asked.

 "About two months, that is if you've got a death wish." The doctor said rolling his eyes.

 "Can I walk?" Kaito asked. 

"Sure, but I doubt you'll be able to run or do anything that requires strength for a couple of weeks." The doctor replied.

Kaito stood up weakly from his hospital bed. He fell to the floor. "Whoa there buddy, slow down." The doctor said. 

"Stay there, I'll bring you some crutches." The doctor said running to the nurse.

The crutches were brought to him by a nurse. "Thanks Hama. Here." David said.

Kaito stood up slowly leaning on the crutches. "Good, see? Much better." The doctor said.

Kaito sat back down on his bed. "There's a race against this new team called Project D west of here! I have to be there! Its this Friday night!" Kaito said nervously.

"Well you can't. Doctors orders." 

"What? No way!" Kaito protested.

"Sorry." The doctor said. There was a silence. 

"What's your name doctor?" Kaito asked intrigued.

"David Friedland. The man who dug over ten shards of glass out of your chest last night." David said.

Kaito put his hand on his ribs there were bandages all over his chest. "Uhh thanks." Kaito said. 

"You're welcome, it's my job." "How about you go in my stead?" Kaito suggested. 

"What?" The doctors asked, eyes widened.

"I know you don't have anything to do with racing, but at least fill in my driving slot on Friday." Kaito suggested.
