"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?" "There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said. My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?" "We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway." What the fuck? "How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting." "What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver." I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?" "You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said. I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing." "Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said. "Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked. "You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes. *** Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female.

"No, dearest." Sebastian smiled revealing a set of perfectly white teeth. "I am quite real. Care to have a touch?" His eyebrows went up emphatically. Madeline let out a breath she'd been holding for quite some time. She took two careful steps toward him, reaching out and poking his forearm with her index finger. He was warm, deliciously so. "Not exactly what I had in mind but whatever works for you, sweetheart." Sebastian shrugged playfully. Madeline moved further away, her eyebrows in knots above her puffy eyes. "So where are we sleeping?" "We?" She stuttered. What was going on? Her mind was full of overwhelming questions. Had she finally fallen off the deep end? Sure, she had been super sad, more down than she remembered being in a very long time, but she didn't think she had pushed herself to the extreme of hallucinating. "Yes, we." Sebastian was standing then. His height was impressive. She stumbled back with his nearness. He laughed, shaking his head. He really did find her to be quite amusing. Her nervousness made her all the more interesting. "Did you not miss me, Madsy?" Sebastian teased. "Because I most definitely missed you." Madeline Hunter is abandoned after graduation by her best and only friend Nolan Sinclair. Upon his leaving, her mind is flooded with visions from her past. With no one left to distract her from the miserable memories, she is visited by an old, slightly invisible friend that she hadn't thought about in years.
