"I really don't understand what you're doing in here." I heard a familiar voice say. "Hey, buddy. You doing okay?" Alejandro said coming around the corner. "If it isn't Baltimore's most Dangerous, in New York." he said looking at me. "I really wish we didn't see eachother this way." he said. "But you knew it, all along, especially having me as a friend." I said. "Would you get me out of here I got a race in an hour." I shouted. "Alright, alright." He said as the officer unlocked the cell. Being in jail for almost six days wasn't how I wanted to spend, my break but I'll be turning that around in a couple hours, I'll win the team race, make the qualifier, in Redneck Alabama, and everything will be back on track. 

I made it back to my apartment whee everyone was waiting for me. "I'm glad you guys are still my pit crew." I said. "It would be complete with you know who." Grayson said. He's been floating in and out for the past few days. "No. It wouldn't matter, I never really even loved her." I said. I changed clothes and headed downstairs. I opened the door to get in my car, "You can fool yourself, but not us, man." Carr said.

We made it to the race, and of course it was the usual washed up racers, the new ones, the ones I've beaten in the past and Trevor. "Well look if it isn't Baltimore's most wanted, and his shit for brains crew." he said. "Hey who knew douche bags could drive." I heard someone say. i tunred around to see a trio of boys ranging from 17 to 15 years-old. "I really think that you kids should go find your moms." Trevor retaliated. "Well the family, is right here." they said, jumping down from the stands. The three of them looked familiar. "See you on the track, Stryker." Trevor and his groupies walked away. "Man, that was sweet." Haley said. "Too bad that your sister's not here." "Yeah, Mavy would've decked him." one said. "Holy shit!" I said. "I told you he wouldn't recognize us." the muscular one said. "I remain an optomist." the youngest said. "Nicky?" a girl shouted and looked around. Nico whistled, "Give me a sec, Athena." he said. "It was good seing you guys again, but I got to go." he said to us. "Gun, Rocky we'll meet up at the car." they all nodded in agreemant. "Well, that was wierd." Grayson said. "that's only because he was your favorite." Rocket said. "I got to go to." Gunner said, pulling a skate board out of his backpack. "Wish I could hang with you guys, but there are some things I've got to tag." he skated off. "They were so young." Carr and Fonz cried. "You leaving us too, rocket man?" I asked. "With out my sister here, I think it's best I stay with you guys." he said.

Wiht the help of Rocket man and the rest of my fantastic pit crew, we won the race. Even with my demotion of starting in last place. I thanked my pit crew and Mavy in my acceptance speech. "I really wish you could of seen your sister, that's my fault." I told Rocket. "Oh, I know. she called me after she broke up with you." he said. "Did she tell you where she went?" I asked him. "That's one of the reasons she called. To tell us that she broke up with you, to tell me where she was going and to envoke the Marilyn Monroe pact." he said. "I can't tell you." he said. "Oh." I felt defeated, the only person who coud tell me where she was had been sworn to secrecy. 

I barely slept that night, I was too busy thinking about Mavy, and where she was, and hoping she was thinking about me.
