Katlynn O'Conner

Chapter 8

Tej walks over to me handing me the money I just won, I count it then hand him his share. "You see this that is a respectable racer she gives the organizer a nice share." I laugh as Brian walks over to us. "So is this where you have been since you snuck out of the hospital." "Yeah, why you going to take me back buster." "I didn't nark on you Kat and if it helps any I'm on the run, cause they found out I helped Dom escape." "Fine I accept your apology since you let Dom escape, are you sticking around?" He nods. "Yo Tej." He looks back to me and I wave for him to come over. "What up mama?" "This is my brother Brian O'Conner. Do we got a spot he can crash?" "You sure about him staying with us Baby girl?" I nod. "Race for me Brian and you can rent the boathouse." They shake on the deal and then we roll out. Once we are back at the garage we show Brian where he will be staying. "Where are you staying Kat?" "I sleep with Tej." He raises his eyebrow and looks at me. I just roll my eyes and walk away. "Night Bri." "Night Kat."

We have spent weeks fixing up cars and racing tonight helping Tej out. "Alright let's fire it up." We walk up to the drivers. "Oh-oh-oh where is your fourth." "he had to work the graveyard shift." Fro boy says "You either find a fourth or you don't race." I smirk and look to Tej. "Hold up I can get you guys a fourth, anyone I want." They all nod and I pull out my phone. "Yo you up for racing Bullet." "You know I could use the money." "You got four minutes." I hang up and walk over to Suki. "Hey, girl how are you doing?" "Good how are you and Tej?" "I have told you before Suk we just friends. I don't date, never have, personal reasons ya know?" Just then a silver and blue skyline pull up. "Awe shit it's Brian," Suki says. I walk back over to Tej and Brian walks over to him as well. "Do they got deep pockets?" "You know they do Bullet." I just sigh and roll my eyes. They just walk back over to the cars as I move the people back. "Alright baby girl start us off." "Ready" engine revs. "Ready" revs engine. "Ready" engine revs. "I know you're ready" Brian revs his engine. "Go" They take off. "I got a surprise for yall at the end." "What the surprise this time Tej?" "You'll have to wait, Kat." He wraps his arms around my waist and starts kissing down my neck. "Tej" "Sh baby when are you going to let us be a thing?" "Not going to happen." "Jimmy hit it." He says into his walkie-talkie phone. The bridge starts rising I just shake my head as everyone starts cheering. We see the cars come flying over the bridge and Brian takes the lead and finishes in first Suki is the only other one to finish after. My phone starts ringing I look and it's a blocked number. "Yo, this is O'Conner whatcha need?" "Kitten?" "Dom?" I walk away from the crowd. "Kitten I need your help meet me in Mexico and don't tell anyone." "You got it see you soon." I hung up and walked over to Suki. "Congrats girl" "Thanks, Kat" I hear sirens and I see the cops I think shit and immediately take off for my car. I race out of there turning and drifting to avoid the cops. I make it out of there just barely miss getting hit with one of those car disablers. Once back at the garage I see Suki. "Suki I'm glad you made it back okay." "Yeah, you too have you seen Tej?" "He not back yet?" She just shakes her head. "Sorry I haven't then." She walks out of the garage and I head up to Tej and my room. I pack all my stuff then write a note to the Tej.

Tej,

Had somewhere to be can't say where you know if the cops come looking for me. I can't risk you getting into trouble because of me, just better if you don't know. I'll miss you and am so grateful we meet. Stay safe and don't get into too much trouble. Look out for my brother will ya, he tends to get into a lot of trouble. Thank you for allowing me to crash here and showing me around here is some cash for all your troubles. You're a wonderful guy and I hope to see you again soon.

Love, Kat.

I get in my car and drive off towards Mexico.
