Thrill Ride

Chapter Three

Chapter Three

The dark sky continued to wrap around the vast desert,  hours away from Tobey and Julia's destination. San Francisco. Julia had been asleep for at least an hour meaning that there was only 6 hours left on the journey. Tobey had missed the feeling of complete control and power over the car and the road. This meant that now he was back onto the road, He could drive forever with no limits. Tobey honestly felt alive now that he was inside the Ford and in Julia's presence. Tobey didn't want to go back to the dirty place that was jail again, But with his racing lifestyle it could not be avoided. Tobey did not mean to do bad, Not by a long shot. It was just that the police did not always agree with his methods of getting money.

The Ford continued to purr under his feet, And Tobey felt like he was on top of the world! The moon was slowly moving across the sky, Making room for the sun to rise in a few hours. The moons bright glow reflected off the bonnet of the Ford and occasionally would find it's way into Tobey's blue eye's as it made its way across the car. The roads were becoming narrower meaning Tobey needed to have more concentration on the road. Tobey had to admit, Julia knows how to pick good cars. The Mustang responded instantly to Tobey's actions and even the slighest touch would be enough to turn it in any direction. Tobey had to admit though, He prefered the silver Mustang, Simply because it had more history behind it and it was definitely a head turner, Sometimes by the wrong people. The red paint was not really his colour, But why put a beast of a Mustang down because it's red? Many people would die for the chance! Although, after driving around in the dust for a few hours it will probably look a murky brown colour from the dust being kicked up by the wheels blasting along the undisturbed roads on their way back to San Francisco.

Julia was still fast asleep, And Tobey didn't want to disturb her just because he wanted someone to talk too. Tobey wished he could ring one of the guys and have a talk with them, But the jail wardens clearly didn't have a iphone charger at hand, Because his phone was long gone. Julia's phone was in the iphone dock she had installed for charging, But Tobey couldn't just take it without her knowing. Tobey knew she would have everyone's number on it, but it wouldn't feel right using her phone when she isn't looking. So Tobey allowed the thought of having a proper conversation with actual people to escape his brain for now. He was just going to have to wait. He waited years before he could avenge Pete, So having to wait a few hours for a conversation wasn't that bad.

Another two hours passed by quickly meaning there was only 4 hours yet. Tobey had to admit, He was anxious to be back with Benny, Joe and Finn and once again be a team. Tobey wondered if Julia could be classed as 'one of the guys' now, After all she did nearly die in a crash just so Tobey could win the DeLeon and beat Dino. Julia had also gained the trust of the guys, Tobey would class her as one of the team, And so would everyone else. He would make sure of that. Julia suprised everyone with her driving skills and her quick thinking in chases, Meaning she would be a valuable right seater for Tobey to have. Tobey was very thankful that him and Julia met, But now he could never go back to the old days where she wasn't helping. Julia was still asleep meaning Tobey had no choice but to continue driving, listening to the road and the car.
