I'm busy playing XBOX 360 in our manor when somebody is calling me.

I get annoyed hearing my phone rings, so I grab my cell and press the green thing flashing on the screen.

"What do you want?" I ask dryly as I throw the joystick beside, letting my game dies.

"Easy, man," this guy tells me with a chill voice. "I just want to invite you to watch a drag racing match today."

"Are they in?" I question him, pertaining my gangmates.

"Yeah, of course, they are. We all wanna see the Prima Razza tonight." He answers, as usual, he's always in the cool aura. "So are you in?"

"Fine." I sigh, "Count on me. What time?"

"Exactly midnight, Chance."

"Copy that. I'm hanging, now."

"Sure thing. I'll see you."

I shake my head as I grin, "All right, Primus." then I say, tapping the end button.

I check the time on my clock forms as a wrist watch and says that it's 9:30 in the evening. I still have two hours and thirty minutes to prep myself.

I grunt as I stand up. A racing event is about to happen tonight. And the main attraction of the night is the best of all. I'm expecting her to attend this drag racing event. What do I expect? She's the Queen. I smirk and start walking towards the stairs. I would like to have a match with her and strip off the mask out of her face when I beat her.

But not this time. The Primus is back and the hengist should be with him.

23:30 in the evening.

I'm all ready for the race. I hope everyone are all-prepared as well. Speeding my engine, I continue driving fast. I don't care if I'm breaking the laws, it's just for fun, anyway.

If they will going to chase me, just make sure that they can catch me.

Another smirk drawn out and add some numbers to my speedometer. There's no traffic after all. It's almost midnight.

I'm wearing a black leather jacket, a black and white checkered turtle-neck blouse with my skinny black pants, and a pair of flat boots up to my knees. Add also the black mask that I'm currently wearing that complements with my green contact lenses. Yes, it's my style.

Yesterday, my new car arrives. It's a brand new Lamborghini Huracan. At dahil ito lang ang mayroon ako dito sa Pilipinas, ito na rin ang gagamitin ko ngayong gabi.

Minutes has passed and I arrive at the meeting place, exactly 23:55.

I decide to exit my car, and show my existence as a sign that I'm here, alive and smirking.

"Look at what we have here!" The racketeer announces, "It's the Queen of Drag Racing!" and states my name with his very long utterance.

I'm quite—no, I'm really popular in the World of Drag Racing, so every people on this place cheers for me.

While checking everybody, my eye catches somebody. I know that person that well. When I notice that he's also looking to me, I remove my gazes afterwards.

It is Chance.

What is he doing here? Together with his gang?

They are also placed on the VIP seats. They are not just five, but they are six freaking persons! Hindi ko makita ang mukha ng isa, dahil may maskara rin siya. I could care less.

But, they are a gang? How come? No one can attend this kind of illegal race if you don't have a membership.

And, they are sitting on the VIP seats. Crazy.

I don't know why they are here. I don't know also the rules of Underground Association. Why I do not know? Simple. I have never been in the Gangster World. Yes, I compete a lot in drag racing, just because they are inviting me. The note they sent me is the proof.

Hah, jeez. At first impression, you'll never think that they are a gang. They look so innocent, actually.

And, yeah. I need to focus on this! No need to get distracted.

Focus. I need focus. The race will start in a very few minutes.

"Okay, I think everybody is here!" The racketeer steals everyones' attentions. And then, the organizers readies everything—the spot where the competitors should be placed, the juries who are ready to judge, the lights, video producers, and as well as the operators.

Once everything is set up, the racketeer comes back. "Silence, everyone!" He proclaims and every people keeps silent in just a shush. "I am here, to officially start the race in few moments!" After he says that, every person in this place make their noises again. "I bet every contenders are now prepared!"

I smirk. Sure as heck.

"And now! We're going to start! In Five!"

As if on cue, I turn my engine on. Ako ang nasa pinakahuli. Unfair? Nah, it's fine.

"Four!"

I step on the accelerator along the break paddle.

"Three!"

I stretch my head. Sabi kanina, F-1 racer ang pinakamalakas kong kalaban. Galing pa raw sa ibang bansa. Ha ha. Let's see, I'm gonna beat the ass out of him. Never stand against The Queen.

"Two!"

We're eight contestants, including me.

"One . . . Go!"

So, it has started! I can tell, everyone are on the hot verge. Easy, bitches. You'll freak your asses out when you crashed uselessly.

Okay, time to get serious.

I step on the gas harder, with 200 to 210 kilometer per hour speed. And with ease, nalagpasan ko ang mga tatlong racers.

Three down and four to go.

Halos magkakasabay ang dalawang racers sa harapan ko. I gun my engine with exact 230 speed. Kagaya ng kanina, nalagpasan ko sila.

About the other, hinabol ko. And now, we're fair. He opens his side window down. Now, what does he want?

I open my window also. I eyed the man with deadlocked orbs.

He laughs mockingly on me. Asshole, you're on drugs, bitch. And surprisingly, he signs a thumb down on me.

That makes me annoyed. Really, huh? High people are creepy, aren't they?

After that, (I mean, the thumb down issue), this man lifts his middle finger while showing his whole tongue out with a crazy look.

I sense a vein jerks at the side of my forehead. My eyes dilates also as it makes my mouth curves in irritation.

You bitch, I will kill you.

Since he pisses me off, I pick two kunai inside the glove compartment. I intentionally aim to his hand holding the steering wheel. I'm sure, that his hand is pinned to the steering wheel.

He goes out of balance, and in a very fast move, I throw the left kunai to his tire.

And because my car is still brand new, I'm not planning to crash my car to his old ugly fart car. That bastard will be lucky if I did.

I form a wolfish grin. What a pathetic proud bastard. Such a winnie. If you are going to ask me what happens to him, well, he's currently having a meeting to the Real Grim Reaper.

I increase my speed again. From my place, I can see clearly the number one spot racer. He is far really from me, about a hundred meter distance, I think. And yes, I'm ascertain that this is the F1-Racer.

I speed up my engine up to 245 kilometer per hour speed for me to reach him. I press my horn for a little distraction. His car slightly slows down. And I think, he's telling me to bring out everything.

Nag-full speed siya, at nauna siya nang kaunti sa akin. I'm not in the full speed rate, yet.

Luckily, my car has a speed of 325kph.

Nang nasa paliko na, I make my full speed state, and ta-da! Naunahan ko na siya. I quickly drift my car. Hearing the screeches of my tires, makes me want the F1-Racer to realize that he has no hopes winning on me.

After few meters, naging zigzag na ang daan. Pero, naging straight din ulit.

Few meters that I cross, when I step on the break, really hard!

There is a bridge that surprises me. In the middle of it, there is a deep hole for about 20-30 feet depth. The crater has 7-meter distance.

I drive backward, calculating the speed that I need to cross this broken road. My, you'll need to study Physics to get the exact distance of the crater and also for the speed.

But I don't care about that Physics thingy, it's just a headache. You'll just need to estimate it in your mind and then, you're poof!

Kapag nasobrahan ako sa speed, may posibilidad na pwede akong masubsob, kung narating ko ang kalahating parte ng tulay. And if it is short, I'm out, and I'm in the hole.

I need 250kph, as I estimated. I ready my car, I step on the accelerator and on the break. Seconds pass when I release the break pedal.

I can do this. I can.

My car flies.

It is like a slow motion.

Everything goes slow, yet more exciting.

I'm now seeing that I'm near to the other half.

My estimation is not wrong. It's prefect!

After the most breathtaking moment, my car lands on the other side with loud screeches and thuds.

I remain astound. Not believing that I did it.

I did it, right? I did, yeah? I actually succeed, right?

"Suck it up, losers!" I exclaim with pride and joy.

"Ha! I know you can." he whispers in the air.

"Nathan?" I hear Sean called the Primus of this group. Nathan is his name. "You whispering something, dude?"

"Nothing." I hear him replied, leaning back to his chair. "She's really extraordinary, isn't she?"

"Yeah, as always." Sean answers back, "At bakit ka nga pala nakamaskara, Pinuno?"

"Oo nga," it is Kieffer who joins the conversation. "Pumangit ka na ba, Pinuno?"

"No." Nathan answers in lazy tone. "It's a surprise for someone, actually."

"Sino naman, Nate?" It is Justine who says that.

"I can't tell you now." said him again.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Napailing na lang sila.

My eyes follow where the Lamborghini Huracan is heading, it is going towards the finished line. And about the F-1 racer, he gets stuck in the broken bridge.

I averted my eyes to Nathan, he uttered something. "What would she react if she found out that I'm already here?"

"Who, Nate?" I asked him. He said 'she'.

"Her." he replied cryptically.

I only sighed in annoyance. "Your riddles again, dumbass."

He only laughed, "Anyway, what can you say about the Prima Razza?"

"Like the usual, I want to compete with her."

"Oh, right. I remember." he told me. "Just knowing her, Chance, it will never be easy if you had the opportunity."

"I'm aware of that fact. She's been reigning for years now, and unbeatable. I admire her for that."

And then realization strikes me.

Her. I recalled what Nathan had said. Does the her that he pertains is the Prima?

And another actual realization . . . Prima and Primus. Are they related to each other? Or rather, know each other?

"She amused me, Chance." I could feel his wide wolfish grin inside his mask. "And I will meet her in no time."
