The Racer

Chapter 2

The next day, Kester decided to go to the hospital to visit Mazer. He went over the things that had happened in the past few days and felt like crying. Why did this have to happen now? His parents invested all their money into his career and now he had failed them.

He sighed when he saw Mazer still unconscious in bed, wondering when he would awake. As if he could read his mind, Mazers eyes opened suddenly and he jolted up breathing heavily.

"What about the race? I need to finish that race!" Mazer shouted as he struggled to get out of bed.

"Its too late... the team has disbanded since we went into bankruptcy." Kester explained, slightly shocked by Mazer's sudden movement.

Just then, a nurse entered the room. "Ah, you are awake at last." Then she told Kester, "Could you leave the room while I conduct a few tests?" Kester obeyed and went out.

Not long after, the nurse came out with a device in her hand. "Mazer is fine, but his brain is not fit for racing. He may experience seizures and send the car out of control."

Upon hearing this, Kester started to tear. He had been hoping to talk Mazer into racing again while he finds a company to fund them. Maybe he could get the whole crew back and revive the team. But now, one again, his dreams were shattered into smittereens, and there did not seem to be any hope of putting the tiny pieces back together.
