Midnight: First Race

Chapter 6: The Midnight Racers

Chris

*ring* *ring*

I groaned in my sleep, slowly waking up as I rubbed my eyes, I reached over to the nightstand and picked up my phone, I had a few missed texts from Mia

Mia
-You awake Tennyson? You'd better hurry back to the garage, Tyson gave a spot to Akira on the crew and Ryder was pissed, they got into a fist fight, we could barely them apart, anyway just text me back when you get this and get here ASAP

Sat 1:30 AM

Shit

I quickly texted Mia back

Chris
-On my way

Sat 7:45

I missed a lot apparently, including the part where Tyson allowed Akira into the crew?

After all this time?

I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth, I skipped breakfast, I wasn't all that hungry anyway, I peeked into Nadia's room and saw that she was still asleep.

Good, she's had a stressful 24 hours as it is after finding out what I do at nights

I grabbed my car keys and luckily Dad wasn't home, the last thing that I wanted was to make up yet another excuse to him, I ran to the car and started the engine, backing out of the driveway, I drove my Nissan Skyline and headed towards the crew's garage.

Well I guess Akira finally gets what he wants, right?

A spot on the Midnight Racers

But why did Tyson decide to give it to him after refusing so many times? And Ryder couldn't have been happy about this, my win last night was all for nothing, the only thing I gained from last night was just beating Akira in the race

I made a sharp turn and reached Cain Auto Repair

We really were an auto repair shop, that's all a front to hide the fact that we were street racers and car dealers, I put in my fair share of work here as well

I quickly parked my car and punched in the passcode to the garage

I walked down the dark hallway and reached the stairs to see Mia sitting on the hood of her car

She heard my footsteps and looked up

"About time you showed up" She said

I shrugged
"I had a long night and a conversation with my sister, didn't get a lot of hours to sleep but that doesn't matter, what in the hell happened last night?"

"Well like I said, Akira's saddling up with us now"

"Ryder can't be too happy about that" I stated

"Got into a fist fight with little Akira" Mia chuckled, finding the situation amusing

"Where is Ryder anyway?"

Mia nodded a few feet over to where Ryder was making adjustments to his GT Ford's engine with the hood propped up, I walked over to him.

"Hey"

Ryder turned his head to see me

He had several bruises and scrapes on his face, looks like Akira got in a few good hits
