Oscar and his gang were waiting at the abandoned parking lot I had sent them the location of.

So, I sent the police to their location, and all of us drove to the underground parking garage.

We started the races and more and more joined. Tabitha was the race starter and Serena also got to start a few races.

Louie was racing a night and Micky as well.

I loved watching Louie race, he was a trickster, he looked like a rookie racing crazily, but he knew exactly what he was doing, he had 100% control over his actions and races.

Soon enough my brothers and Claire arrived, I waved at them and nodded from the other side of the cleared road for the races.

Claire made her way to me with a sorrowful look on her face, I furrowed my brows and went to meet her halfway.

"I'm sorry. I don't know how you feel about this but Marcus and St—" I stopped listening to her as Marcus rode in on his motorcycle with someone on the back.

He revved the engine loudly and people cleared for him. A lump formed in my throat, my breath hitched and I swallowed the lump in my throat.

He parked next to my brothers, then the girl behind him took off her helmet.

It was Stephanie.

Claire had paused her explanation as she had seen my attention was elsewhere.

"I'm sorry—""—There's nothing to be sorry about, okay? Just take care of my baby nephew and everything will be perfect" I say and smile at her, I caress her bump and she smiles.

"I will" Claire says and I hug her. My smile falls as I feel a pit in my stomach—her, that girl and Marcus.

I had slept with other people—multiple, I was careless, I never gave him a thought or a feeling, but now that I've returned everything seemed to come crashing down on me.

"Alex" Louie calls out. Claire parts and walks back to my brothers and I turn to Louie.

"They didn't catch them" He says with a stern voice.

"What? How?!" I snap and march up to him.

"They escaped, which means they're gonna be on our asses now" I reach in my jacket and take my gun out, I put it in the back of my jeans in the waistband and I prepare myself.

"I need you to get Claire out of here, Louie. Can you do that for me?" I ask him and he nods, he knew I placed a lot of trust on him.

"Fuck!" I hiss as he runs towards my brothers, I whistle loudly to get Serena's attention, my whistle echoes through the garage and Serena hurriedly meets me halfway.

"It failed. They could be on their way, right now" I tell her and her smile falls.

"Shit!" Serena curses. She runs back to Tobias while Micky comes up to my side, he knew something was wrong.

"What's the plan?" He asks me and I try to form a plan in my head, but I come up with nothing.

"I don't kno—" A loud roaring makes everyone turn to the entrance.

I looked at Jake and Terry only to see him standing straight to mark his crew, Roy had his eyes on me though, I could tell he knew something was up.

"Does anybody here wanna race us!?" Oscar shouted, everyone stayed quiet.

My eyes flickered to Marcus who was about to step forward but Jake stopped him, I knew exactly why, a look of recognition flashes across both Jake, Terry and Marcus' faces.

I looked at Serena and then Micky, I noted that Louie had succeeded and gotten Claire out of the garage–I exhaled deeply in relief.

"I know I have a deal with a certain Lowell" Oscar called out, I clenched my jaw and looked away from Jake's intense stare.

"Alex—don't" Serena hissed at me as I walked over to my motorcycle, turned the key and revved the engine. He wanted me, so it was me he would get.

"Ah—there she is!" Oscar taunted me, I glared at him and got onto my motorcycle before rolling up to him.

"Same deal as last time?" Oscar asks me and I look to the side and see Micky and Janet ready.

"Yes" I say and look back at his face. "Don't try to screw me over again" Oscar leans in to say in my ear.

"Don't cheat again" I retorted and smirked as I raced around him to the start line, Micky handed me my helmet while I ignored my brother's stare. I knew they were furious, confused and frustrated.

"Tabs" I call out and nod ahead of us. Tabitha looked back at Jake for clearance and he gave her a firm nod, she walked between our motorcycles and for once she looked nervous.

"Wait—" Oscar calls out, I grit my teeth in annoyance as he waves his guys over to me.

I turn to see what they want but they grab my arms and push me back in my seat– they quickly grab my jacket and rip it off, they take my gun and shove me forward in my seat.

"You're not gonna need that this time" Oscar says with a taunting smile, I look at Micky and Janet who do exactly the same to him– clearing him of weapons.

There was no telling what dirty tricks he had up his sleeve.

"Are you ready to actually race?" I retort and Oscar laughs before nodding at Tabitha, I give her a nod as well.

"Are you ready?" She calls out, she lifts her arms, Oscar revs his engine and she points at me.

"Are you ready baby?" I rev my engine louder than his, making Tabitha smirk.

"Go!" She shouts and throws her arms down, Oscar takes off faster than me, but I catch up easily.

I laugh as we race side by side and he can't shake me off, he grunts in annoyance before reaching his arm out to shove me.

I lean forward and race a half circle past him, his hand grazes my arm, but he doesn't affect my balance or speed.

He then attempts to hit my back tire with his front tire and I curse under my breath before swerving side to side to avoid him, I do it uncoordinated so he can't predict my moves.

Before I knew it, I won the race as I avoided Oscar's dirty tricks, Serena and the others ran up to me, Serena handed me a gun which I hid behind my thigh.

She and I knew him well enough.

"Alex!" Jake and Terry shouts as they tries to make their way through the crowds, Terry was pointing at something

"Alexandra!!" Oscar screams out, people clear out as he walks towards me with a gun aimed at me, I pull mine out as well.

"I think you owe me your motorcycle, Oscar" I retorted with a smirk, Oscar's smirk dropped when a gun was pressed into the back of his neck, Marcus showed himself behind Oscar and I couldn't help but smile in relief.

"Put the fucking gun down" Marcus snarled at him–Jake and Terry took his friends and aimed at them as well.

"You heard the man" Jake calls out. "This ain't over, Jake" Oscar retorts.

"It is over, just like I told you six years ago" Jake spits at him, Oscar clenches his jaw before throwing his keys at me, I catch them and watch them leave in peace.

"A new motorcycle for the best guy in town" I say to Micky who grins widely, I blow him a kiss and throw the keys to him.

"That's why I love you" Micky retorts before returning his gaze to Oscar and his crew leaving.

"What the fuck were you doing with Oscar?" Jake retorts and shoves me back from everyone.

Marcus, Terry and Roy followed him and I put my hands up in surrender and back up voluntarily as he wanted.

"Jake—" Serena calls out and follows, but he turns and glares at her.

"Not here" Serena says and looks at me. "Not now at least" Serena begs him.

"Fine. Let's go home—all of us" Jake says and I nod in agreement, rather there than here in front of everyone.

Because lord knows it won't be pretty, not to talk about peace or quiet.

"Fine. Let's go" I agree, I bump my shoulder into Marcus' as I pass him and I shoot him a thankful look and a small smile before leaving—he shot a short nod my way as I looked away.
