The Nerd And The Biker

Chapter 16: Run

Shit how do I always get into positions like this, go Sage Jacie Wright you just couldn't keep your damn mouth closed. I sit on the ground in some room with no windows. What a thing to wake up to, sweaty clothes from days ago, I smell like puke and a garbage can and I can't brush my teeth because there isn't a bathroom, that and I'm chained to the wall. Just four walls, a ceiling and concrete under me. There are loud voices that come this way and I stand up cautious as to who is coming in. The door opens and four guys walk in.

"So this is the infamous Sage Wright, the biker princess that the Scorpion's tried to keep hidden. Tell me Sage where are your brothers and dad." One of them asks, they have been asking everyday and I always give them the same answers.

"I don't know, I'm not their sister, and I'm not a princess." I spat at them. "Where am I?"

One of the men in the room didn't seem to like that and walked over to me and caressed my face. "Such a pretty face, to bad you can't seem to keep your mouth closed." He steps  and laughs and before I can react punches me in the stomach, I double over and start coughing.

"Fuck you," I spit out.

"Mouthy little bitch." He says and grabs a gun from his waist and hits me on the temple with it, knocking me out.

So lets go back to a couple of days ago.

************************************

After I leave the house with the boys still there I head to the nearest gas station to gab me something to eat and to drink after both the fight and the race.  I get a chill up my spine like I'm being watched but no one is in the gas station but me and the cashier who is counting money. I bring my things to the register and hand it to the girl at the check stand who silently rings up my items. She grumbles the total and I swipe my card and take my things and leave. I climb back into my car and start the engine and let it purr.

I found Jason and his motley crew when I was fifteen, they caught me buying drugs for Jennifer and told me they'd help me to get the good drugs if I'd race for them.  It went like this until Jennifer died. I'd give them the money I made from babysitting, the diner and The Pit Stop and they'd get me the best drugs they could find, and in return I'd race for them. I was the envy of every driver there, I got so good that no one wanted to race me, I was The Devil, I could beat any driver any day, even when I was sick. The fighting came later after I started babysitting the  karate studios kids and instead of paying me he taught me how to fight. I don't know how Jason found out that I was a nationally ranked black belt but he did and threw me into the fighting ring to help me make more money and it succeeded. I was able to buy my bike with it and Jason gave me the car I raced because he could afford to buy a new one since I had made him so much money.  

Coming out of my thoughts I put my car in drive and head to the meet place. It was an hour from my house and a place that not even the cops would got to. Unlike what many people think we don't race on city streets, we race in the boonies, the farm lands that have been left to the state and the state forgot about them. I drive there and crank the volume up on the radio so I can't hear myself think. I look in my rearview mirror and see a car following me, so I speed up and they speed up also, I start weaving in between cars and they follow on my tail. All I can think about is running away, or in this case driving away. I put the car in the highest gear it can go and haul ass. I miss the exit to the meet place and I narrowly get to the next one and swerve around a semi in time to catch it. The car following me is blocked by the semi and misses the exit, I roll down the window and flip off whoever they are and backtrack to the meet place and by then I'm late, I'm fifteen miles from the place and it starts in twenty minutes. I reach for my phone and come up empty handed, shit I forgot I called Jason off of Axels phone.  I speed to the meet and pull up next to Jason's car, I hop out and try to find him.
