"But dad, You can't be serious?! Your staying for another few days!" I yelled through the phone.
"I know, sweetie and I'm very sorry. I promise I'll be back in a few days. Just watch over the shop a little longer, ok?" He said. I was frustrated, but I love my dad. Sigh.
"Ok, a mech's promise?" I said. He chuckled on what I said.
"A mech's promise. I love you sweetie and continue to concentrate on your studies, ok?"
"Yes, dad. Bye dad."
"Bye, sweetie." I hung up the phone and placed it back to the home charger. I walked back to the car I was working on. I managed to fix up this beautiful car, in two weeks. 'Why would someone throw this at the scrap yard?' I thought to myself. But the thing is, this car was . . different. It had a extra part. I walked to my tool box where I placed next to, this orb looking part, I managed to take out of the car. I was scanning over the orb until I noticed a few words on it.
"T-cog? What's a t-cog?" I questioned. I decided not to have a inner battle with myself and let it go on what a 'T-cog' is. To be honest, I never heard of a car part named 'T-cog'. I shrugged it off and placed it down on my workshop desk. Walked out of the room, turn my head to see my new ride. I especially impressed on the new paint job I did. I smiled, turn off the garage lights and went to bed.

As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
