Thread: The Good, the Bad, and the Fast (Sparxman and driven)

Kai smiled a little bit. He could understand perfectly how Roslyn may have felt, and he knew all too well just how much money she could have put into her car. Even though Kai didnt race as often as he used to, he does still put money into his car. There are the occasional tweaks to the performance of his car he puts money into, then he would put money into keeping his car well maintained. He would even go as far as to have it professionally cleaned..both inside and out. Of course he would always say that if he ever found a scratch or mark on his car, he would find the worker responsible shoot them in both of their knees. Not that he actually intended to go through with this, but it was usually enough to get his point across to those at the company who would clean his car. On top of that, there were the tires and he would even fork out money on getting his car resprayed every so often. There were many other things that he would have to fork out money for his car, but despite how much it would cost, Kai did feel as if it was always worth it in the end. If he hadnt spent so much money on his car, the chances were likely that he could have been living in a really nice, big and very expensive house somewhere. Still, Kai wouldnt have it any other way. His car meant the world to him and he couldnt help but think that it was all money well spent. He chuckled a little at her comment before nodding his head in agreement. You know if I hadnt spent so much money on my car, I could probably be living it up in one of those big 12 bedroom mansions. He laughed a little bit before speaking again. But you are right. I dont know how much money you have actually put into your car, but I imagine it is a lot. It sure is worth it though, it really is. He flashed her another smile as she had winked at him. As he spoke with her, Kai began to think that maybe this assignment wouldnt be as bad as he first thought. He was beginning to think that there was the possibility that both him and Roslyn could actually get along. Not that he had thought they would be able to get along when he had first been told that he would have to work with her. Kai had actually been against the idea originally, but it did seem to help that they seemed to have a number of things in common already. Not only were they both racers, even if they were different types of racers, but they also seemed to share a passion for the same type of car. Kai hadnt met many racers who liked Mustangs, so it was a welcome change for him. Still, he found himself wondering what it would be like to actually take her to the track and race her. Sure, he may have said it could work as their cover story, but now there was a part of him that actually wanted to see it through.even though he was certain he wouldnt be able to take her to the track immediately. With his arms folded across his chest, Kai nodded his head in agreement with her statement about power and skill. Oh, I dont doubt that for a second. Ive seen just how dangerous it can be with power and no skill. He crossed one leg over the other as a thoughtful expression formed on his face. I remember one time as a racer. There was this kid in a souped up Corvette. To cut a long story short, he tried to pull a move during a race. He tried to cut past two racers, taking one on the left and then one on the right. As he started to pass the third, something caused him to lose control. He clipped the third racer just as he was approaching a tight bend. He tried to regain control of his car, but ended up rolling it six, maybe seven times. Luckily he survived, but his car was completely written off. He shook his head a few times as he recalled the memory. His eyes lit up a second or so later and his lips curled up into more of a smile. Ah, well I like to think I have a good reason to be confident. My car should have no problem keeping up with yours. You may even get a run for your money. Maybe more so than ever before. He grinned a little and winked at her before speaking again. I may not be able to drift as well as you do, but when we get some time to spare with this assignment, I will gladly take you to the track, or wherever else you might want to race. Maybe you will be able to give me the kind of challenge many other racers couldnt. He laughed and rolled his eyes as she started to act all innocent with him. Hahaha, you might be able to fool the other agents, but you cant fool another racer Roslyn. His tone was both joking and serious at the same time. As soon as youve got your keys back, whether it be during or after this assignment, I can bet my bottom dollar that you are going to be out there again eluding those rookies they call cops. Maybe you will get a paintjob so they wont recognise you, but I do get the feeling that you will be back out there. Not that I blame you because you do get a certain rush from the chase, dont you? I know I did when I had to elude the cops. He smiled fondly as he thought back to his times as a racer. Even if you get into a chase during the assignment, you wont have to worry about me stopping you. Besides, it would be interesting to see just how you handle the cops. Not that Im saying you should go out there deliberately looking to get chased. He said, smiling a little more. He didnt really feel too surprised when she had told him how she had never seen a classic Mustang. He wasnt surprised because pretty much every other racer he had ever been up against had never seen a classic Mustang until he had pulled up to the starting line. The other racers would never expect it and they certainly never expected to be beaten by a classic Mustang. Yeah, I know what you mean there. I barely saw a racer with a newer model Mustang, let alone a classic Mustang. Still, there may have been a time when I saw someone racing with a classic Mustang. You might find it hard to believe, but that person actually won the race. He said with a nod of his head. It was true that he may have been talking about himself, but it wasnt as if she knew that. Ah, well Im sure drool wouldnt ruin the paintjob too much. Of course I do suppose that would depend on just how fresh the paintjob is. He shrugged his shoulders a little bit after saying this to her. Kai could understand if Roslyn would have been reluctant to go through with the assignment after everything he had told her about the group, but he had just thought it would have been better for her to know everything about the group they had to deal with. He didnt think it would do either of them any good if she was missing out on vital information about the group. Sure, it may not have been too great to know the group they had to deal with were both killers and drug dealers, but it was something she should have known regardless. It was why he couldnt quite understand why she hadnt been told when she was first briefed by the Deputy. After all, Charles had known just as much about the group as everyone else involved in the assignment. I know its not the best of things to know about a group of racers, but it is still something you should have been told. Anyway, I will try my best to keep you out of trouble off the track, even though I do get the feeling that you are still going to manage to get yourself into some form of trouble. He laughed a little as he had said this to her. If youre as good as everyone says you are, then I should certainly hope that they shouldnt be able to touch you on the track. There was a twinkle in his eyes as he had said this to her. He nodded his head as she had agreed to call him by his name, and then he turned to face her after making his way towards the door. Just remember that you may beat everyone else at the track, but you will have much more trouble beating me when you eventually get your chance against me. There was a mischievous smirk on his face as he had looked back at her. However, you would be more than welcome to try to beat me, but until then, I am more than happy to watch you kick the ass of everyone else there. His smile had become incredibly cheeky as he had opened up the door. Kai looked down to the keys in his hand as she had mentioned how he would need to give them back. Now it was Kais turn to pout. Oh, I dont, do I? His eyes met with hers for a moment and then he looked down at the keys before looking back to her again. And there I was, hoping to drive us to the track.even though questions could be asked about why I would be driving when its going to be you who is going to be racing. He lightly tapped his chin before stepping out of the interview room. Oh well, we better get to the impound lot to get your car. With that said, he turned and walked from the interview room and started to head back to the impound lot. If Im going to give your keys back, I will try to give them back when we get to the impound lot. He looked back over his shoulder at her as he had said this, and then he continued on towards the impound lot. It took him approximately five minutes to get to the impound lot. When he got there, the guard did give Roslyn a funny look, but Kai just shook his head at the guard. The guard reluctantly gave them both access to the impound lot, and as soon as he was in the impound lot, Kai made a beeline for Roslyns Mustang. His pace had quickened quite considerably as he had been walking over to her car, and when he reached her car, he unlocked it once again. Kai began to open up the drivers side door, and he looked back to Roslyn as he had opened up the drivers side door. He really did want to drive her car, but deep down, he knew it would have to be her who drove them to the track. This was just him teasing her. Just to make it look like he was actually going to drive her car, he climbed into the drivers seat, inserted the keys into the ignition and started up the engine.
