Don't Leave Town

The moment she saw them her head went into her hands. "What's wrong?" Han asked in Korean to keep their conversation private. "Please tell me I don't see Twink with a white boy that looks like the Major. Please, I'm begging you." She said quietly.

Han put his arms around her shoulders. "Unfortunately, I can't." He said in a smirking tone. She whipped around. "You think this is funny?" She asked outraged. He smirked and shrugged. "Seems like fate to me." He said simply. "You didn't look for him. He found you." He said reasonably.

She sighed and held his hands where they met on her chest. "I hate when you're so sensible." She said slightly smiling at the situation now that the shock had worn off. "Seems The Major has two delinquent children, love." She felt Han's chuckle in her back though he gave no outward signs of it.

She looked for her brother and sighed when she saw he was talking to her cousin's girl, Neela. A stunning young woman she adored and her cousin didn't deserve. She had been lucky that her uncle had declared her his or she would have gone through the torment Neela had being only half Japanese.

They decided to walk over to her cousins area of the garage and talk to the ones in his crew she could stand. Her cousin seemed to have noticed her brother talking to Neela and asked Han about it. "What's up with the tourist?" He asked Han never taking his eyes off the two.

Han looked there and back. "What's with you and the school girls, T? You're moving up in the world, you need to elevate your company." He said trying to make him forget Neela. Kat squeezed Hans arms that were around her waist in worry. She didn't even know her brother's name, but she felt protective of him.

She stared at Twink who was the closest to them until it made him look around. Luckily, he saw Takashi making a beeline for her brother and ran to intercept. She and Han slowly followed her cousin to see what would happen. She would step in only if she needed to. This kid didn't need more strikes against him with Takashi.

Takashi being the wannabe he was spoke Japanese and slid up behind Neela wrapping an arm around her and kissing her neck. She could see Neela flinching as she sat with Han against the nearest car. "He was just leaving!" Twink quickly said trying to save the newcomer.

It seemed Takashi was happy with threats tonight. She pulled out a bag of gummies to split with Han as they watched the goings on. Her brother was brave, she'd give him that, but there was a fine line between brave and stupid.

She and Han smiled when her brother called him the Justin Timberlake of Japan. Deciding they didn't want to risk it she and Han shared a look before Han spoke. "Hey, D, let's go. It's time to race."

She stopped and sighed when she heard her brother mouth off again. She knew her cousin couldn't allow that without looking weak. They were nose to nose quickly. Somehow her brother challenged the self proclaimed Drift King to a race. Though why he did so without a car she would never know. She had obviously gotten her intelligence from her mom's side.

"Take ours." Han said throwing the keys to Mona Lisa. She had to use all her training to not show emotion at this. She trusted Han, but she didn't trust anyone with their car. They had many others, but this one was theirs.

Takashi gave Han a look when he turned, not daring to challenge her in public. "What? I wanna see what the kid's got." He said 'innocently'. She wanted to laugh at that, Han Seoul-Oh was anything but innocent. They had met when he came to do side work for the Yakuza for goodness sake.

She couldn't look as they pulled to the starting line. She just knew this would cost so much money and wrench hours. She flinched when she heard the first smash. Han looked calm, but she knew he was fuming since it upset her so much.

She and Han took an empty elevator to the top as the race ended. Han had to hold her up when their car finally made it to the top. "We can fix it." He said sympathetically. When she was steady they walked to the car. "Don't leave town." Was all Han said before walking her to Ricco's car to go home.

The next day Kat was doing paperwork for the club they owned and checking in orders while Han went to speak to her brother and make some pickups. Sean, Twink had finally told her his name. It was a typical American name her father would have chosen.

Han had decided to make him the side business' errand boy. Picking up money and dropping off whatever they told him to. This also included doing whatever she said. She knew Han would tell Sean about her. He knew she wouldn't and wanted to take the pressure off of her.

Han sent her a message that her cousin was on a warpath for their shipment. She laughed, her cousin didn't have any idea how much bigger than a shipment his problems were. Another text told her they were pulling into the club.

She shut everything down upstairs and walked to the club. Han meeting her in the VIP lounge. She laughed when she heard Han tell the girls Sean was underage. Twink was explaining how most of their clients were fashion models and such. Han got his attention again and walked him to the garage she had went ahead to.

They just stared at each other for a moment. "It true you're my sister?" Sean looked hopeful but upset. She smiled, "Well, half anyway." She said quietly. "Why didn't I know about you?" He asked getting more upset. She sighed and took the champagne Han handed her. "The long version or the short?" She asked with a gulp of champagne.

Sean looked confused. "The short, Major Boswell is an asshole that got a young girl pregnant and ran like a bitch." That seemed to make Sean smile. "You want the long you'll have to stick around." With that she let Han lead her upstairs to their room. They had people that would care for the club and it was time for them to enjoy their night.
