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

Even though he hadnt really been speaking to Roslyn for long, Kai did get the feeling that he was going to get along with her better than he would with most people. After all, they already seemed to share a few things in common. Things that were going to help them with their assignment. Things that they could both talk about together even if they werent focusing on their assignment. It certainly was better than just partnering him with a complete rookie who knew absolutely nothing about cars. Kai knew that he would have found it quite difficult to work with someone like that. It was why he was glad that it was Roslyn. Yeah, I imagine you probably could have bought your own private island, and I dont think your own personal track would be so bad. Sure, it might not be as fun as a public track, but at least with your own track, you would be able to hone your skills whenever you wanted to, He smiled a little more as he now found himself thinking about what it would be like to own his own personal track. Maybe he would own his own personal track one day, but that day wasnt likely to come for some time yet. Kai saw the look on her face as he had told her his story about the rookie kid racer in the corvette too powerful for him. His eyes met with hers as she had shook her head. What makes that story worse is the fact the kid came from a rich family. I think it was his dad who bought him the Corvette, so even though I never saw him again, whats not to say his daddy just went out and bought him another car, Kai did sound slightly annoyed as he had said this, but in a way, it was perfectly understandable. That kid certainly wasnt the first rookie racer Kai had seen ruin a perfectly good car and something told him that he wasnt going to be the last either. His smile grew as he saw her smile widening at the mention of a possible track day. Its good to hear you are up for a challenge because you are going to get one from me and the boss lady. Anyway, you wont have to worry about me being rusty. I may be an agent now, but I still visit the track when Ive got the time, He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin with his thumb and finger. It sounds like we are two opposites. I have more skill on the track and the streets, and I do possess some skill in drifting, but not as much as you. You on the other hand, you are better at drifting, so maybe after our track day, we can come up with something or race somewhere where we are both as good as each other, He suggested to her, not sure what she would think of his suggestion. Oh, Im not going to be bored racing you, and I know youre not going to be bored racing me. When we race at the track, you are probably going to say I am the best you have been up against, He spoke confidently with a smile to match. He couldnt help but to laugh at her act of innocence. Sure, it may have been cute, but Kai had been just the same in his days as a racer. He had always lied to the cops, just like most racers normally did. Kai certainly didnt miss that mischievous glint in her eyes. If anything, it was actually quite noticeable. Not that he would have said anything about it anyway. Kai nodded his head as she mentioned how she might add a vinyl to her car. Yeah, you should definitely get a vinyl wrap for your car. Some of them actually look really cool. The tribal designs always look good, and if you do keep your car black, you could always colour the vinyl..white, or maybe a golden colour. Maybe even some shade of blue or red, or maybe even..pink, It would have been hard to miss the teasing tone to his voice as he had mentioned the last color to her. Well if youve got the cash to spare, you should get yourself an older car. I have no doubt that it would be a Mustang, right? He smiled and winked at her as he had said this. I would say that we could get you an older car using the FBIs budget, but then they would probably want to know why you would want a second car anyway, He was actually being serious with her too. Once again, he nodded his head in agreement with the statement she had made. Yeah, tell me about it. I know the solid rear axle does make the Mustang harder to handle, but it doesnt make it impossible. If Im honest, I actually like the fact the Mustang can be so tough to handle. It just goes to show that those who drive Mustangs are better drivers than most, simply because of how tough the solid rear axle can make things, He said to her. I think youre right though. I think most people are afraid of the added challenge that comes with driving a Mustang. They really arent that bad once you get used to them, His lips curled up into more of a smile as he had said this. Had it been up to Kai and not his captain, then the chances were likely he probably would have skipped out of this assignment. After all, he knew that these people were dangerous and probably not the best people in the world to mess with. Kai knew that he was going to have a tough time keeping Roslyn safe, especially when he thought about how good she was. He knew that she was more than capable of beating the racers they were trying to capture, and he had read the reports about what had happened to the other racers who beat them in a race. It sure is going to be a tough assignment, but look on the bright side. At least you get your car back, and you also get my brilliant company too. Now that is always a bonus, he grinned some more as he walked out of the door with her. Besides, if you hadnt got yourself caught when you did, the chances are likely we would still be looking for someone skilled enough to carry out this assignment, so at least that says your skills are appreciatedin a way. Of course Kai knew all too well just how much Roslyn wanted her keys back. He also knew that it was unlikely that he would be unable to drive her car to the track, considering it was going to be her who was going to be doing all of the racing throughout the assignment. Still that didnt stop him from enjoying teasing her. He had that same cheeky look on his face as she had said she didnt just let anyone drive her car. He decided to act as if he didnt hear her even though she was only right behind him. What was that? Im not sure I could hear you. Im not sure what you said, but it almost sounded like you said you let anyone drive your car, he teased her again, knowing full well what she had actually said. He just found it fun to mess with her, and knew he was going to mess with her a lot more throughout their assignment. After getting past the difficult guard, Kai looked back over his shoulder at Roslyn as he had all but dashed over to her car. As soon as he had unlocked her car, climbed into the drivers seat and started up the engine, Kai seriously was tempted to shift the car into gear and drive off. Instead, he just pressed his foot down on the gas pedal, revving the engine a little bit. His foot came off the gas pedal and he stuck his head out of the open drivers side door. Okay, say I do move over, He started off. Are you going to let me drive this baby at some point? If you do, then you might possibly become only the second ever person to drive my lady, he smiled before taking a deep breath and nodding his head. Okay, I will move over for now, and I will let you show me what your girl can do, He moved over to the passenger seat and then rolled down the window. Just dont speed..too much. Im not going to stop you from goading the local P.D into chasing you, but just try not to do it yet okay, he smiled and winked at her before leaning back into his seat and buckling up. After buckling up his seatbelt, he motioned for her to get into the car.
