Duke

  It was a normal day, Oh wait I didn't properly introduce myself, hi the names Duke Johnson. I'm a 18 year old car enthusiast in a Miami house that was built in 1992. Anyway, I woke up to the smell of my parents making coffee. I put on my black shirt, leather jacket and walked down the hallway to go downstairs breakfast and possibly wake up my 17 year old sister Nya. I walked by my sister's room where she was sitting on her saucer chair watching Impractical Jokers on her new 40 inch plasma tv. I waved hello to her and she looked away from the tv and gave me a slight wave back. I walked downstairs where my mother was in the kitchen cooking potatoes while my dad, being the lazy man that he is was sitting on his recliner watching the morning news. I said good morning to my father who replied "good morning, son" back. My father was wearing a pain black shirt and light blue jeans. He had got a haircut yesterday so his hair was short just the way he likes it. I walked into the kitchen and said good morning to my mother who had just put the bacon in the oven. My mother was wearing her normal jeans and Supernationals t shirt and was storming around the kitchen. She called my sister for breakfast and she came downstairs with a why did you interrupt me face on. We had breakfast and said goodbye as me and my sister went to school and my parents to work. My dad took the Plymouth Superbird to work and drove it out of the garage with a rev goodbye. My mother took her lamborghini Urus that she calls her family car and waved me and my sister goodbye. My sister opened the door to her Z28 Camaro and told me "have a good day dork" and took off to school. I slightly smiled and hoped inside of my 1967 Mustang Shelby and that's when I realized that I forgot the keys. I ran into the house and got the keys, when I was on the road I was thinking about what we are going to do at school today. I passed through Miami Beach on my way to school and admired the beach. I pulled up at the school and parked my Mustang. My friend Tego was waiting for me at the entrance of the school, he walked up to my car and said "hola amigo como estas." Tego is a tall guy from New Mexico, he is a hispanic man and religious, today he was wearing his normal Dodge shirt, jean shorts, Nike air max shoes and his golden cross necklace. I replied "whats up Tego" he said back " ah nothing waiting for my drivers licence, I have enough money to buy a Maserati and I can't do it without a licence" I slightly laughed and we started heading over to the school. Tego suddenly told me "so when is the crew getting back together mi amigo" I looked at him with a mad sort of fache and told him "bro the crew ended a long time ago and we probably will never get the team back together after what happened" Just in case you didn't know my old crew the Wild Life was your normal everyday drag race crew that would roam the city streets drifting and causing all sorts of trouble. I had started the crew with five friends Tego, Nala, Chuck, Venom and Crow. We used to be unstoppable, you could always find us at Berry's auto collision hanging out and talking about which car we were going to customize today. At night we would tell our parents that we were going out to eat but really we would meet under the carport at Berry's and go race in illegal street races. We would win sometimes and we would lose sometimes but we always stayed together. One night we got done racing and were driving home, suddenly some eagle eyed cop saw us drive out of the alley where they heard races going on. The cop followed me and when me and the team separated the cop put his lights on and started chasing me. At the time I had a 1970's dodge charger and was pushing the Hemi motor to its limits. The cop followed me and even hit the side of my car twice, at the end Tego rammed the cop with his 2014 chevy ss and Jolted the cop to the side. Tego hit the cop again and sent the cop into the bottom corner of the charger and sent me rolling. The last thing I remember was hearing the police sirens and my car roll, seeing the world spinning on the windshield when suddenly everything went black. According to Tego the car was rolling and it clipped the cement wall of the bridge and flew into the flowing river. Then I woke up to the sound of my roof hitting the floor and I almost drowned, I unbuckled my seatbelt in a hurry and opened the door. I got out in time and ran away, while I was running I made the mistake of looking back and looking at the rolled over car. When I looked back the car exploded at my face, the heat was like the sun and water was becoming knee high so I ran and I ran back to Berry's. Tego was arrested that night for assaulting an officer and got his licence taken away. I walked to Berry's where the crew was watching tv, I walked inside and everyone seemed worried that the tv showed a man named Tego Martinez has been arrested and a green charger has blown up. I walked in and said "guys" they looked at me and started hugging me, the only person who stayed on the sidelines was Venom. She looked at me and then came up to me and slapped me across the face, I got mad and asked her "what was that for" she said "you got Tego arrested how do feel now" I stood in shock and then she started an argument with me blaming me for Tego's arrest. We were yelling and cussing at each other, that's when I said something I would regret for the rest of my life. I looked venom in the eye and told everyone "that's it the crews done" She shook her head and walked out of the shop. The rest of the crew walked out of the shop with a disgusted look on their faces. I was left alone in the dark shop with the tv showing my burning charger. Three months later Tego's sentence was over and I picked him up in my new 1967 Mustang Shelby. I could tell that he was changed and that he was tired. When he was still in prison I visited with him and he told me that he had not been getting any sleep, that prisoners have threatened to kill him while others have been telling him that they never belonged there in the first place. I was driving him home and he was telling me his experience, he showed me a stitched scar on his arm, he said the scar was from a gang of prisoners who were desperate to murder someone and tried to stab him with a knife from the cafeteria but they missed and Tego blocked the blade with his arm which left him with a scar for life. Me and Tego walked into the double doors of the school and said hello to Principal Gwen at the front desk. The bell rang, me and Tego ran towards our science class. We arrived just in time, our science teacher told me and Tego to please have a seat. Both of us sat down and looked across the room, Venom was just arriving as well as Crow, Chuck and Nala. They gave each other dirty looks and sat at separate tables. Before the team broke we would sit at the same table and cause trouble. Sadly those days are gone, the day went by fast it was like school only lasted an hour. At the end of the day I offered Tego a ride and he happily accepted. As we were driving up the hillside to my house me and Tego were talking about random things and making jokes just like the old times. I pulled up to my house and turned off my car. Me and Tego were about to go into my house to do homework. My sister had just pulled up and was going into the house. Right as she opened the door a white Aston Martin Vanquish pulled up, the driver opened his window and threw a grenade into the door of my house, my sister turned around and sprinted toward her car. I closed the door to my car just in time for the house to explode in a fiery inferno. I looked to my side to see the vanquish gone and my sister ducking behind her car. She was in tears and Tego had rushed over to see if she was hurt. Suddenly a Plymouth Superbird pulled up, that's when I knew that I was in deep trouble. My father opened the door to his car immediately and put his hands on his head. He was confused and yelled "what the hell is going on"! I explained to him what had happened, he looked at us and asked us if we were ok we all responded yes. I sat in my car and thought to myself who was in the Aston Martin, who could have possibly wanted to kill me so badly as to bomb my house? I thought of it and that's when it hit me, Morgan Creed he would be the only person that would want to get that type of revenge on me. Morgan was a guy that would race against us and would lose almost every time. One day a close family member of his died and he told us since they gave him the money to race they died because of stress. He blamed the death on the wild life because he told us that the person almost went broke and that they died because of us taking his racing money. He wanted to get revenge on us ever since. Tego looked at me with an are you ok face, I looked back at him and my sister to get in the car. Tego asked why and I replied "i'll explain on the way get in." Him and my sister got into the car, they both looked puzzled. I peeled out when leaving the driveway, passed my moms Lamborghini Urus that was turning into the driveway. I thought to myself "oh Jesus keep my father safe," I hit the accelerator and told Tego and Nya what was happening. They seemed to calm down after I told them but Tego looked nervous and I know the exact reason. I forgot to mention this but Tego has a huge crush on my sister and i made the mistake of putting them in the same car because Nya has a huge crush on Tego but won't admit it. I told Tego to call Venom and put her on speaker. He did so on his IPhone 8, Venom picked up the phone and said "what do you want Tego" I looked down at the phone and said "Venom its Duke" she responded "why are you calling me" I told her what had happened at my house. She responded "Look Duke i'm sorry about your house but what do you want from me" I told her "Can you call the old team and tell them to meet us at Berry's" She stayed silent for a minute then said "ok first of all who else is with you and second of all why do you want me to call the rest of the crew" I told her "My sister and Tego are with me and I think it's time for the team to get back together" She stayed silent one again and then told us "ok i'll call them" then she hung up. 20 minutes later I had my car parked at Berry's waiting for the rest of the team and Berry to open up the shop. A 2009 Corvette Stingray pulled up to the shop and parked next to us. Berry got out of the car and looked inside of mine. Berry is a stunning young woman about 22 years old but when me and the crew met her she was just turning 19. She got out of her custom car, she was wearing dark blue jeans, her signature corvette shirt, leather jacket and long blonde hair. We got out of the car and said hello to our old friend. She told us hello and walked us to the door, she opened the door and told us to relax. She went to her office and told us "hey you guys welcome home.'' The rest of the gang pulled up in their brand new cars, they all got out and walked into the shop. We looked at each other for a moment then we got together and hugged each other. Everything was forgiven but there was one thing I forgot to do, I forgot to tell my sister who the heck these people were. She looked at me in surprise and asked to speak with me in private. We stepped into the old body shop and she went off on me asking me who they are and how do I know them. I told her this "ok those time I told you, mom and dad that I was going out to eat" she shook her head. "I would really get in touch with these guys and we would get together to go drag racing" she looked at me surprised and told me in a high pitched voice "i knew that you were up to something does mom and dad know" I told her "no and I don't want them to ok" she looked frustrated for a second then said "ok fine." We went back into the waiting room to see everyone watching tv like they did a long time ago. I introduced the crew to my sister who greeted them with a wave. Me and the team went to the conference room to discuss our plan, the team as well as my sister were discussing our plan and that's when we decided on a foolproof plan. Me and the team decided to go back to the drag course and put a tracking chip on the Morgan's car. Nala got to work on two tracking chips immediately. Me and the rest of the crew were on the computer printing out our signature Wild Life decals to prove that the team is back. We sent the stickers to print and I went off to buy a new car for me and Nya. I reached a Dodge Jeep Dealership with a pocket full of cash, Chuck and Crow in the backseat of my Mustang. I asked Crow to take my car back to Berry's. He silently agreed and kicked both of us out of the car. Me and Chuck walked into the beautifully decorated dealership and choose a Dodge Demon and a Jeep Gladiator. I claimed my car as the dodge demon and Chuck said that he would drive the jeep to the shop. We arrived at the shop and decided to leave the Gladiator without any modifications to the appearance, the demon we went to work on putting a wrap on it and making it better looking. When we were done Nala had the tracking chips ready for placement and we had the cars prepped. I went to get my sister and tell her that it was time to go on the mission. I opened the shop door and turned the corner. I could not believe my eyes my sister and Tego were kissing in the corner of the shop. They both noticed me staring at them and stopped but still snuggled each other in shock. I looked at them in disgust, threw my arms in the air and walked out of the door. My sister chased after me and told me the whole story, she said that while me and Chuck were gone getting the cars Tego asked her out and she gladly accepted. She said that the next thing she knew they started kissing in happiness until I walked in on them. I just rolled my eyes and told her "ok but we need to go on a mission so please stick to the plan.'' I walked back to the main garage and got into my Dodge Demon with an angry look on my face. My sister and Tego came into the shop and my sister got into the Gladiator with a smile and fixed her mirror. I rolled my eyes again and started the car. We both drove out of the white garage doors and headed for the drag strip. In the car were two walkie talkies for me and my sister to communicate from our cars. The crew set up a system in both of our cars so that they could talk to us from the radio and use a microphone at the shop. We reached the drag course and I quickly disgusted to my sister what we were doing. Our plan was that I would go on the course and challenge one of Morgan's team to a race, while I am doing that Nya will sneak behind the fence and implant the tracking device on Morgan's Vanquish behind his bumper. Nala did not put a light on the tracking device so it will not be visible. We were on our way to the course and I got a call from my mother. I panicked and accidentally answered the phone my mom had a worried tone in her voice. She yelled into the phone "where are you i'm so worried" I told her "mom i'm fine I just went for a drive" she said "good i'm happy you're alright where is Nya can I talk to her" I froze and told my mother "yeah she's here hang on" I put the phone on mute and radioed my sister. I told her that mom is on the phone and she wants to talk to her. I didn't hear anything from the other side of the radio for several minutes then she radioed back "ok put her on the line" the jeep Gladiator had pulled over. Stopped my Demon and took my mother off of mute. My sister told my mother "hi mom" My mom said "oh thank god, Nya where are you guys" My sister said in a nervous voice "ah nowhere we are just driving." I slapped my forehead, my mother then said "ok i'm just relieved that you guys are safe, please come home as soon as you can love you" my sister said "ok mom love you too" I hung up the phone and started my car again. My sister started her truck and drove the rest of the way to the track. We pulled up to the track, my sister parked by Morgan's car. I found Morgan, he looked like a gangster he was standing with his crew and holding some girl by the stomach, she did not look too happy about it. He looked at my new Demon and told one of his guys to get in the drag strip and start up their engine. The guy was driving a Lamborghini Murcielago and revved his engine at me. I gave my sister the signal to start putting the tracking device on Morgan's car. She quickly got out of her Gladiator and ran towards the car. She pulled the device out of her sweater pocket and looked surprised. Turns out we missed two very important facts, one there was a lot of Morgan's crew at the track and two the Aston Martin Vanquish does not have a bumper. Nya panicked and shoved the device under the car on the gas tank. Then the girl that Morgan was holding escaped his grasp and went towards the Vanquish. I looked nervous but revved my engine because I accepted the challenge. The girl was about fifteen and ran over to Nya to ask her what she was doing. Nya looked nervous and told the girl "I, uh was just looking at your boyfriend's ride." The girl looks at Nya and then said "ok, i'm Megan Tanner" Megan had black hair that reached her shoulder, she was dark complected, wearing a Camaro V Neck, dark blue jeans and a cross with diamonds on it. She then told Nya that she was hoping that Nya was going to destroy Morgan's car or something. Nya asked why and that's when Megan told her that Morgan does not treat her right and treats her like a slave girl. Suddenly Morgan showed up right behind the two girls and told Megan, "come on Megan come over here" and he grabbed her arm. She quickly retaliated and took off Morgan's grip of her arm. She then told him "no i'm not your little slave girl Morgan, go over there and take a hike" Morgan's face got red with anger and he told her " What did you just say to me? I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that, now come with me." She got angry and slapped him across the face. He fell down in surprise, then stood back up and put his hand in the air like he was going to hit her. She looked at him with her eyebrows down and did a roundhouse kick into his stomach. Her and Nya ran for the Jeep immediately. I turned my car around and drove off to stop Morgan who had his fist raised and was running after them. I hit the parking brakes on my car and blocked off Morgan from the girls. He punched my window and started yelling at me to back up. I got out of the Demon and looked at him dead in the eye. He shoved me and I flew backwards into the side of my Demon. I got back up and punched him hard in the face, my sister and Megan got away in the Jeep. Morgan was enraged as he recovered from my hard punch. He went for my stomach but I blocked it and he punched the roof of the car. I speared him and took him to the floor. He was unconscious for the moment and everyone was looking at me. I got into my car and drove off. I caught up to the Jeep on the interstate. I was happy that they were ok but kinda mad because when I pulled up beside them they blew out the speakers listening to Demi Lovato. We pulled up to the shop, my sister and Megan got out of their Jeep. I pulled up behind them and parked my Demon in the yard where the tow guy drops off his assigned cars. I pulled the key out of the ignition and got out of the car. I took the back door inside, Nya was introducing Megan to the crew. From a far I could see what she looked like but when I saw that she was really beautiful. I went over to introduce myself when Tego pulled me into Berry's office and told me "dude Megan saw you at the race and has a pretty big crush on you, she asked the group where you were because your sister told her that you saved them." My jaw dropped when heard this news, I straighten my posture and walked into the main lobby. I introduce myself to her and she looked at me with a smile. We looked at each other for a second and then Nala ran towards us and started yelling "he's on the move, Morgan Creed is on the move. We looked at the T.V screen where Nala was projecting Morgan's location. We gathered around and were in shock he was a mile away from the shop when the signal disappeared. Suddenly Morgan's Vanquish pulled up to the parking lot and the passenger side window opened. Morgan was inside and tossed a grenade out of the window. Me and the crew ran for the back door when the grenade blew up. It destroyed half of the shop and everything was on fire. The Vanquish turned around, I knew what morgan was going to do so I slipped out the back and ran to my Demon. The Vanquish started to speed and as it headed toward the towman's gate I started my Demon. The Vanquish passed the gate and the Demon was fueled up. I busted through the gate and started chasing after Morgan. He started to pick up speed but I rammed my car into the back end of his Vanquish. The back end crumbled and the taillight became loose. Morgan looked shocked in the rear view mirror. I sped up and pulled up to his left side, he swung the car to the left and he hit my right. The Demon jolted and I almost went into the other lane. I regained control of my car and raced him down the highway. I hit the side of the car again and sent both of us into an exit where we raced into oncoming traffic. People were braking and swerving, there were crashes all around us. Morgan hit a guardrail and I drifted to prevent hitting the rail. Morgan crashed then hit the accelerator on his car, I missed the guardrail and hit the gas. Me and Morgan started crashing into me and I was returning the favor. We must have hit every car the interstate during our duel. We fought for control ramming into each other and crashing into vehicles. The duel had gone on for 30 minutes our cars were stripped to the chassis. I knew the duel was not going to last long but I didn't know that I was going to be the one to end it. I turned my steering wheel hard and hit his car so hard that the door fell off of his car. Morgan was not paying attention to the road and he went head on with a Prius coming the other direction. Morgan lost control of his car and flew backwards into a cement barrier. His car hit the barrier hard and threw him out the open space. He landed on the asphalt and got up just in time to see the remains of his totaled supercar land on the beach. He stared at me with rage, He started running after my car but I hit the gas and sped away. I pulled up to the flame ridden shop and everyone was outside looking at the damage. Everyone freaked out when they saw the damage to my Demon. I slowly pulled up and right then and there the door fell off. Nya came running toward the car helped me out of the opened space. She asked me in shock "are you okay." I looked at her and told her "I won" then passed out. I woke up in my Mustang but I was in the backseat with my sister. I looked in the front seat and found Tego driving and Megan in the passenger seat. I looked out of the rear window and saw a Toyota Supra, Jeep Gladiator, Corvette Stingray, Chevy Camaro and a Ford Gt40. My sister asked me if i was ok then switched spots with Megan. Megan and I talked in the backseat and shared our interest. We had a lot in common and the more we talked the more we fell in love with each other. She smiled at me with the most beautiful smile i've ever seen and looked at me with her amazing brown eyes. Then suddenly Hotel California by The Eagles came on the radio and then she leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I stood shocked and then kissed her back. After that kiss we couldn't stop, Then the car stopped and we looked at the windshield to be at Berry's house that had a two car garage and a giant fence surrounding it. We pulled over to the entrance of her two story house. Her garage door opened and the Stingray drove inside. I happened to catch a glimpse inside Berry's garage, she had pictures of her parents and posters of cars. I also saw the car in the space next to her Stingray, it was a black Cadillac Sixteen and that is a very rare car. The other cars came inside the gate and came to a complete stop in Berry's lawn. Berry opened her front door and let us into her house. On the outside Berry's house does not really look that big, but on the inside it is like being in a mini mansion. At our group meeting we sat together on leather couches and discussed our plan to take down Morgan Creed once and for all. It took us an hour but we came up with a plan. Our plan was to drive down the streets of Florida and cause vehicular warfare. The others got to use their vehicles but me, Chuck, Megan and Tego needed cars. It seemed like we hit every dealership in Miami except for one because Morgan was inside and a salesman was handing him keys to a lamborghini. I had to buy Tego his car because does not have a licence. The three crew members that got cars drove back to Berry's house I however walked to my house and went to my sut ridden backyard. I looked for my shed were my car is hidden. I found the shed covered in debris and opened the door a blue car cover stood in the middle of the small shed. I pulled off the cover to reveal a black Buick Grand National. I opened the door and found the keys in the glovebox. I closed the glovebox and door, started the car and left my house. I pulled up to Berry's house and parked my car at the front door. At 11:00 PM We all lined up and prepared for battle. I gave a black and blue cross necklace to Megan in case I don't make it out of this mission alive. We gave each other one kiss before we left to get into our cars. I went up to my sister and hugged her before we left just in case, I also Bro-hugged Tego, Chuck and Crow. I went up to Nala and Venom and hugged them too. We hopped into our cars and Berry waved us goodbye from the doorway of her house. We headed to the streets and had fun like we used to. Suddenly A blue Lamborghini Aventador was driving our way with three orange Nissan 350zs and four black Nissan Skyline GTRs behind it. We split up and one car followed us. There was an enemy for each of us, except for me, the only car that was left was the Lamborghini but it disappeared. I drove down the street and found the Lamborghini but it was facing the wrong way and was revving its engine. I saw Morgan inside and he had an angry face on, I was revving my engine too to show im that I was not scared of him. He burned out on his Lamborghini and now I know what his intentions were he wanted to play chicken. I revved and then he let go of the brake. His Lamborghini was coming fast and I was coming a bit fast too. I popped a wheelie on my Grand National and slammed into his windshield. I then got my two back wheels on the asphalt and pushed Morgan into a skyscraper. He was struggling to get out of his car because the electric door had broke. He was getting pissed so I drove away and to the meeting point. I was the first one there, at 12:15 AM everybody arrived with only some minor damage to their cars and all of Morgan's team in police custody. The next morning everybody woke up at Berry's house and was relieved that our issues with Morgan were over. To celebrate we went to eat breakfast in our cars that we repaired last night. Outside of Berry's yard nine cars were parked outside of Berry's house. A lime green Toyota Supra, Forest green Jeep Gladiator, orange Chevy Camaro, blue Ford GT40, grey Toyota FR1, 2017 Corvette Grand Sport, Redline Chevy Silverado and a black Buick Grand National. We were at breakfast when a voicemail from an unknown caller came up on my phone. I listened to the voicemail, It was Morgan calling me from the police station. He said with a gloomy voice "Hello Duke, I found your number in a phone book and I thought I would give you a call. Listen my sentence ends in three months enjoy the time without me, but be warned there is nowhere you can hide were I can't find your and there will be consequences to you putting me in this cell. See you in three months Johnson" then suddenly an explosive went off at Miami beach. The End ?
