The Beast In Me

The Beast In Me is a Side Job in .
==Walkthrough==
Some time after V and Judy Álvarez saved Evelyn Parker from the Scavengers, Claire Russell reaches out to V that they have a job for them. She tells V that she needs help with some street races, and is looking for a driver, and since that V is a reliable mercenary, they approached them. She asks that V meets with her in her garage on Valley street in Arroyo, Santo Domingo during the day.If V approaches the garage during the evening or night, the garage door will be closed and they are forced to return during the day.
As V enters the garage, they can hear Claire mumbling to herself about her car. She will slide out under the vehicle, which she introduces to V as "Beast." As V asks about the races, Claire tells them that there aren't really any, other than that you race in pairs; a driver and a gunner. She tells V that she is more of a gearhead and a shooter than a driver, and that is why she needs one.
When V prompts her with the question if she has raced before, Claire answers that she has raced before, but that her previous driver passed away during a race a year ago.
:V accepts Claire's offer to be her driver during the street races. Claire will tell V that there will be four races in total, and that the first one will start in the City Center district, followed by a race in the Badlands, Santo Domingo, and a finale round in Westbrook. When asked about the payout, Claire tells V that first place will receive some prize money, that they'll split equally. She will also tell V that the decision which vehicle they will enter with is up to V. 
As a final bit of information, she informs V that in order to qualify for the Watson final, they will have to qualify in the top three in at least two of the races. She asks V to wait for her call and meet her at the first race in City Center.
:V declines Claire's offer to be her driver during the street races–despite her efforts to convince them–and forfeits the job.Refusing to drive for Claire will cause the job to fail.
===City Center Race===
In the morning of the next following day, Claire will text V with the coordinates to the first race held in City Center. The race will start on Martin Luther King Boulevard and Skyline East in Vista del Rey, and go through Corpo Plaza to the finish on the Wellsprings Docks in Wellsprings.
===Badlands Race===
Two days after participating in the City Center race, Claire will contact V again, this time to give them the the coordinates for the second race on Brooklands street in Laguna Bend, Badlands. For this race, Claire demands that they use her "Beast" instead of V's vehicle, as she wants to test it out in the field.
===Santo Domingo Race===
A day after competing in the Badlands race, V is contacted by Claire once again, this time for the final qualifying race in Santo Domingo. She tells V to go Brandon and Wolleson street in Arroyo. Unlike the previous race, Claire allows V to pick the vehicle they will be competing with in the race.
:Claire and V managed to qualify for the final race, taking place in Watson.
:
::After accepting to help Claire kill Sampson, Claire will reach out to V later for the final race.
:
::V says they just want to compete in the final race, and will put the race over her dispute with Sampson. Claire understands V decision, and will reach out to V later for the final race.
:
::After refusing to help Claire kill Sampson, V was sacked from the team.This choice causes the quest to fail.
===The Big Race===
Two days after competing in the Santo Domingo race, Claire contacts V to flip them the details for the final race, instructing them to meet on Pardey street in Charter Hill, Westbrook.
During the final race, Peter Sampson will split off after his vehicle has mechanical issues. Claire wants V to follow him off the highway.
:After following Sampson veer off from the highway, V and Claire witness Sampson collide with another car, and get out of their vehicle. Claire rushes over to Sampson, and starts to mock him for his current situation as he tries to crawl out under his wrecked vehicle.
:Sampson, begging for Claire to spare his life, claims that he didn't kill Dean, but that he got himself killed. 
:
::V tells Claire that they want to hear what Sampson has to say. Sampson will tell them that Dean tried to pass him just before the finish line, but that he lost control over the car when Sampson rammed him, which is according to him not against the rules of the racing. After hearing what Sampson has to say, V comes to the conclusion that it was a racing accident, which is part of the racing.
:
::Claire shot Sampson despite V's attempts to spare his life. As a reward for V's help, she will gift V her "Beast", as she has no use for the car anymore.
:In order to prevent Claire from killing Sampson, V must have selected the dialogue option "Are you sure it was murder?" and "My priority's winning." during The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, and chosen the text option "Don't worry about it. Just remember what you promised me." when she texts V after the race.
::V prevented Claire from killing Sampson. Despite Sampson living, she gifts V her "Beast" as a thank you, as she no longer has a use for the car.
::After a few days, V received a text message from Sampson, saying that they want V to have his car.
:
::V agrees to back to Claire's place. While driving back, she tells V more about Dean and that she has no desire to race in the future.
:Claire gets mad at V and refuses to service them at the Afterlife bar.Choosing to win the final race will cause both quests to complete.
==Journal Entry==
:No one in Night City is only one layer deep. Take Claire for example - an Afterlife bartender who likes to burn rubber in illegal street races when she's on break. If you get the itch for a little adrenaline, I think you can snatch it at her garage.
