Thomas Zok Needs A Job

5 years after the accident that caused him to quit and break his left leg and right arm, he walked out of his house to only see an empty yard.

Thomas missed his car a lot and then closed the door and went to his garage and opened the door up and looked inside and then saw a girl and said, "Huh."

The girl heard that and said, "This is a nice ride you got here."

Thomas shut the garage door and said, "Thank you. Why are you in here?"

The girl answered, "I came to speak with you."

Thomas said, "To speak with me about what?"

The girl answered, "About your career."

Thomas asked, "What about my career?"

The girl asked, "Why'd you quit racing?"

Thomas asked, "Who are you to ask me that type of question?"

The girl answered, "I'm Mia Marvell, 1 of many members of the Racing Council."

Thomas asked, "Why are you here Mia?"

Mia answered, "I told you, to talk about your career. You said that you needed a job."

Thomas said, "Yes I do. I need like 5 years of tax money. Money for electricity so I could play my video games."

Mia laughed and said, "You're an interesting man for being a legend."

Thomas said, "I'm a legend. No I'm not."

Mia said, "If you look on the internet, you are all over it."

Thomas said, "No I'm not."

Mia took out her tablet and showed him everything and Thomas said, "They call me The Legendary Driver. That's just nonsense. I'm not legendary at all. Dale Earnhardt Sr. is a real legend right there. But he died in a terrible car accident."

Mia said, "We all know that Thomas. I came to recruit you."

Thomas said, "Recruit me in what?"

Mia answered, "Driving again. Each race can pay top dollar."

Thomas said, "Bullshit. When I was racing 5 years ago, I only got paid $80,374 a race. That's nothing compared to the taxes that I need to pay miss."

Mia said, "That was 5 years ago. Now each race will give you $300,000. Will you join again?"

Thomas answered, "Nope."

Mia asked, "Is it because you don't want to hurt yourself again?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. I don't want to hurt my car again."

Mia said, "You don't eh."

She took out a set of keys and Thomas saw that and said, "Oh come on Mia. Don't do this to me. I just got her fixed. It costed me $4,687,992 to fix her up."

Mia heard that and said, "Man, you're giving me no choice. I was ordered to get you to race again."

Thomas walked toward her and she put her hands close to the car and Thomas grabbed her arm and twisted it and Mia said, "Ow ow ow. Let go of me."

Thomas took the keys out of her hands and said, "Tell your boss to stay away from me. I won't be driving again."

Mia said, "OK. I'm sorry for trying to damage your car."

Thomas let go and opened his garage door and said, "Get out now."

Mia heard that and said, "You know that you should get out of the house once and a while."

Thomas heard that and said, "Shut up. I do what I please."

Mia walked out and Rias Ogawa called Mia and asked, "How'd it go with Thomas?"

Mia answered, "Not that well. He tried breaking my arm."

Rias laughed and Thomas grinned and Rias said, "He needs money to live in a house Mia. Please help him out."

Mia said, "I got it."

Mia hung up and Thomas kept the door open and yelled, "Mia, do you want a drink or are you too young for that?"

Mia answered, "I'll have 1 or 2."

Thomas laughed and said, "OK. Come on in. I got some Coors Light in the refrigerator."

Mia heard that and walked inside and Thomas said, "Please close the garage door."

Mia said, "OK."

She did and walked inside the house and Thomas said, "I'm sorry about earlier. I had something in my head when I attacked you."

Mia said, "You did."

Thomas said, "Yeah. The accident 5 years ago. Only if that didn't happen, she would be alive still."

Mia asked, "What are you talking about Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "The passenger in my car died. She wanted to see me race for once. But then my tire popped and I lost control of the car. And it flipped out of control killing her and injuring me. I've been thinking about that for the past 5 years. That race was sabotaged."

Mia heard that and said, "It couldn't have been. We checked everything and it was safe."

Thomas said, "No it wasn't Mia. It was sabotaged."

Mia heard that and said, "Hold up, I need to call someone."

Thomas said, "Go ahead."

Mia called Rias and said, "Rias, it's Mia."

Rias asked, "Did you get him to change his mind about racing?"

Mia answered, "Nope. He thinks that the race 5 years ago was sabotaged. Do you believe so?"

Rias sighed and answered, "Yes I do. Thomas is right, when we looked at the scene, we found nails, spikes and lots of other things that pop tires on the ground. Someone went there after we were there and planted it. And Thomas lost his sister that day."

Mia said, "That's why he doesn't want to race anymore. He doesn't want anyone else to get hurt."

Rias said, "That's probably the reason. But we need him Mia."

Thomas took out the keys to his vehicle and stared at them and asked, "What am I going to do Mia Zok? Help me choose. Do you still want me to race? Or do you want me to quit?"

Mia heard that and said, "His sister's name is Mia."

Rias answered, "Yes it is. You didn't know that."

Mia answered, "No I didn't."

Mia's ghost appeared and said, "Honey, that's up to you. But I think driving is your thing. You need the money Thomas. So continue racing and become the legend everyone is hearing about."

Thomas heard that and drunk his beer and then placed it on the table and took the keys to the garage and Mia said, "I think that I saw a ghost talking to Thomas."

Rias said, "Good. That means that Mia wants him to race again. He needs the money."

Mia asked, "How close were they?"

Rias answered, "Boyfriend girlfriend relationship. They loved each other that much."

Mia heard that and said, "Huh. Really."

Thomas said, "Yep. By the way, do you need a ride or is your car somewhere around here?"

Mia answered, "My car is the 1 parked in front of your house."

Thomas said, "Good. If you need me, I'll be at my hideout."

Mia heard that and said, "Hideout."

Rias said, "Yep. Thomas and a couple other drivers work together to become the best drivers in the world. They are the best drivers in the world."

Thomas said, "See you around. Drink as many beers as you want. I have plenty."

Mia heard that and Thomas walked to his garage and Rias smiled and said, "I have to go Mia. Have fun."

She hung up on her and Mia finished her beer and walked to her car and turned her on and Thomas turned his car on and said, "It works just as the old 1. This should be good."

2: Thomas Zok vs. Mia Marvell
Thomas Zok vs. Mia Marvell

The garage door opened and Thomas drove out there and the door closed and Mia said, "He's driving it."

Mia's ghost appeared and said, "Thomas, how does it feel to be driving again?"

Thomas answered, "Sad. You're not here with me."

Mia's ghost said, "I know that honey. But you need to overcome my death. I know that you can do it Thomas. I love you. We will meet each other again soon."

Thomas heard that and said, "You can't be serious. You're dead."

Mia's ghost laughed and said, "I know that Thomas. We'll meet again soon. See you later."

Thomas said, "That's what you meant. As a ghost."

Thomas tapped into her GPS and said, "Race me."

Mia heard that and asked, "Where?"

Thomas answered, "My hideout. I'll send you the location now."

He did and Mia said, "OK. Let's begin at the light."

Thomas said, "OK Mia. Let's begin at the light."

They drove to the light and Thomas asked, "What made you join the Racing Council Mia?"

Mia answered, "So I could make some racing events. And the other members like the ideas that I had."

Thomas heard that and said, "OK. Let's see what you got."

Mia smiled and said, "You're truly an ass. Let's do this thing."

They revved there engines and Elizabeth Tyson saw them and Thomas said, "Burn some rubber Mia. You have an advantage. I only just started racing again after 5 years."

Mia laughed and said, "No, I think that we both have an advantage. Your car is better than mine. So let's see how we do."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "She's got him out of the house. Amazing. His spirit has been recovered. After it was broken 5 years ago."

Thomas saw the light and said, "It's still red."

He started burning rubber and Mia said, "You gotta be kidding me."

She did burned rubber as well and Thomas said, "Hoorah."

Mia laughed and asked, "Are you sure about this race Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I am. Don't worry, as soon as we get to our destination, we part ways. OK."

Mia said, "OK."

Elizabeth drove behind them and the light turned green and they hit the gas and put it into first gear and Thomas did a wheelie and then the smoke completely disappeared and Mia saw him and said, "What the hell is with that car?"

Thomas laughed and answered, "This is me driving Mia. It's called a wheelie."

Mia heard that and asked, "Who the hell do you think I am? I'm not as good as you man."

Thomas said, "I don't think that opinion is right. Doing a wheelie is on the driver, not the car. Try to beat me Mia."

Elizabeth chased them and Mia looked in her rearview mirror and said, "Thomas, we're being followed."

Thomas said, "I know. Let her follow us. She's a friend of mine."

Mia smiled started swerving and Thomas saw that and hit the e-brake and the car turned around and he drove backwards and stared ahead of him and asked, "What does she want?"

Mia answered, "I don't know. How am I supposed to know?"

Thomas hit the e-brake again and said, "Let's continue this race of ours."

Thomas missed a turn and Mia drifted to the next street and Thomas smiled and turned the car into the alley and Elizabeth grinned and said, "Dammit, I lost him."

Thomas said, "This is fun. We never lose."

Elizabeth turned right and saw Mia and said, "I'll just follow you for now."

Thomas smiled and got on to the main road and Mia saw that and said, "He's good."

Elizabeth said, "He's even better than before. A 5 year time skip. Let's see if he could still beat her."

Thomas said, "Mia, I'm right behind you."

Mia said, "I know that already."

Elizabeth hit the gas and went into 4th gear and caught up to them and Thomas saw that and Elizabeth rolled her window down and she started moving her hand up and down and Thomas opened the window and Elizabeth said, "You finally awoke from your nightmare Thomas."

Thomas said, "Nightmare you say. Who is the leader now?"

Elizabeth answered, "I am. I came to get you, but you're already in your car."

Mia asked, "Who are you talking to?"

Thomas answered, "A friend of mine."

Elizabeth said, "I'm sorry about your sister Thomas. She was a really great asset to our organization."

Thomas said, "Yes she was."

Thomas stared at Mia's car and hit the gas and Mia saw that and Thomas hit the nitrous and flew passed her and Mia saw that and said, "You can't be serious."

Rias said, "He's kicking her ass. It's like we awoken a monster."

Traffic appeared on both sides of the street and Mia smiled and said, "This should be fun."

Thomas drove through the traffic and saw the warehouse and the GPS said, "We're ½ a mile away from our destination."

Mia said, "It can't be. I lost to an amazing opponent."

Thomas passed everyone and turned into the driveway and said, "Mia, see you around. This is where we part."

Mia said, "OK. I'm going back to the base. That was a good race."

Thomas said, "Yes it was. You almost beat me."

Mia said, "I know. But you're too good."

Elizabeth pulled into the driveway and snapped her fingers and the doors opened and Thomas saw that and Mia said, "Over and out."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Mia went back to the base and they drove into the base and everyone saw Thomas and started cheering for his return and Thomas heard that and saw that and Thomas parked his vehicle and turned her off and stepped out and yelled, "I'm back."

Maya Shiba asked, "What took you so long?"

Thomas answered, "I was afraid that if I drove again, my sister would haunt me. But she won't. She actually wants me to race. The Legendary Driver they call me. And I'm back."

Maya smiled and they all ran toward him and hugged him.

3: The Finalists Fixing Up Thomas Zok's Car
The Finalists Fixing Up Thomas Zok's Car

Thomas saw them run and they jumped on top of him and Thomas collapsed and they all fell on top of him and Thomas screamed and yelled, "It hurts. Get off of me."

Elizabeth yelled, "Everyone, this is his first day back and the LA Circuit is waiting for him."

Thomas heard that and everyone got off of him and then asked, "What are you talking about? I didn't sign up for the LA Circuit."

Elizabeth asked, "If you didn't sign yourself up, then who did?"

Everyone looked at each other and answered, "We didn't do it."

Elizabeth asked, "Do you at least know where it is?"

Thomas answered, "I could use my GPS to find it. How long do I have to get there?"

Elizabeth looked at the time and then the paper and answered, "You have 3 days to get there."

Thomas said, "Well, it seems that my start has been ruined. Well, my new start is ruined."

Maya said, "Don't worry Thomas. You'll have fun doing it."

Elizabeth said, "There's an unknown racer there. She's really mysterious. I bet that you'll go up against her in that Circuit event."

Thomas said, "Well, thank you for the info."

Thomas entered his car and saw that he was low on gas and then exited the car and asked, "Does this place have any gas? I'm almost out."

Helia Scales answered, "Yeah, we have plenty. I'll get you some sir."

Thomas said, "Thank you."

Helia went to get the gas for him and Thomas asked, "Who is she Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth answered, "She's a newbie here. She joined us 5 weeks ago and won 69 races tied 5 times and lost 8 times. She's pretty good."

Thomas smiled and asked, "Which car is hers?"

Maya answered, "The 1970 Dodge Challenger next to Elizabeth's car."

Thomas saw the car and said, "Nice car."

Helia appeared with the gas and saw Thomas staring at her car and asked, "Do you like my car sir?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I do. And call me Thomas please. I'm Thomas Zok by the way."

Helia said, "I'm Helia Scales."

Thomas opened the hood of her car and said, "It's a V8. Nice."

Helia said, "Fully upgraded with all of the new tech."

Thomas said, "With all of the new tech. Interesting. 0 to 60?"

Helia answered, "1.88 seconds."

Thomas asked, "0 to 120?"

Helia answered, "2.30 seconds."

Thomas smiled and said, "OK. I like the way you drive Helia. I have an event to get to."

Helia said, "OK."

They walked to the 1970 Dodge Charger and Thomas opened the hood and she saw that and asked, "How much did you pay for all of this?"

Thomas answered, "$936,387,486,377. All of the best tech created in this world. But there's something that needs to get changed because it doesn't fit right in my car."

Everyone heard that and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Thomas answered, "Look. The engine is a little too small for the car. Or maybe I should just keep it like that and add something for decoration."

Helia said, "The engine will blow up if you keep the engine like that."

Thomas smiled and said, "I got plenty of time. Get me 1 of the best engines that we got."

Elizabeth said, "Do it everyone."

Mayumi Shiba said, "Yes ma'am."

They started running around to find the engine that Thomas was looking for and Thomas smiled and said, "This place never changed."

Elizabeth said, "I know. You would have been disappointed if I moved anything. Plus, all of this stuff is yours sir."

Thomas heard that and said, "You might be right. So, where's the picture of my sister? I want it while I'm racing."

Elizabeth asked, "Wouldn't that cause you to lose?"

Thomas answered, "Yes and no. I always raced with a photo of her in the car. Then the car crash, the police confiscated everything that I owned in that car. That's my favorite picture."

Elizabeth answered, "I packed it away so it wouldn't get damaged sir."

Thomas said, "Take me to it."

Elizabeth said, "OK. WHEN YOU FIND THE ENGINE, PUT IT IN FOR HIM AS WELL."

They yelled, "Yes ma'am."

Thomas shouted, "Thank you everyone."

They started blushing and Thomas smiled and Elizabeth said, "I think that they like you."

Thomas said, "I noticed."

They appeared in the office and Elizabeth walked to the box that had writing on it saying, "Mia Zok's Photos" and picked it up and handed it to him and said, "All of Mia Zok's photos are in there Thomas."

Thomas said, "Thank you for taking care of them Elizabeth. You know how much these photos mean to me."

Elizabeth said, "Yes I do."

They found the engine and took it and ran to the car and started working on it. They heard the tools being used and walked out of the office and Thomas smiled.

Elizabeth asked, "Is there anything fascinating Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. I never thought that someone would actually fix up my car."

Helia waited for them to be done and Thomas walked to her and asked, "What's wrong Helia?"

Helia answered, "I'm waiting for them to be done Thomas. We didn't put the gas in yet."

Thomas asked, "Why don't you help them out?"

Helia answered, "I don't know. I really don't want to mention it."

Elizabeth asked, "Do you have any enemies or rivals Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I do. My sister is 1 of them. And then there's the person I lost to. I just forgot his name. It was when I wrecked my car and killed my sister."

Helia said, "You killed your sister."

Elizabeth said, "The race was sabotaged. Someone wanted to kill either Thomas or the other driver."

Thomas said, "Or Mia. She was in the car with me. I hit something and the tire popped. I lost control of my car and it flipped into a building. I was badly injured and she was dead."

Helia said, "I see. So it wasn't your fault."

Elizabeth said, "He would never kill his sister. The 2 of them have a really good relationship."

Thomas walked to the car and put the photo in the visor of his car and said, "This will be my 2nd race of the week. But it'll be a blast."

Maya said, "We're done sir."

Thomas turned her on and said, "Let's see."

He revved the engine and asked, "How does it look?"

Maya answered, "It's perfect sir."

Thomas said, "OK. Thank you everyone. I would kiss you all for helping me, but I have to leave now."

Helia put the gas into the car and closed it and said, "You're all done sir. See you later."

Thomas said, "Thank you everyone. Elizabeth, when I get back, I'm taking my desk back."

Elizabeth heard that and said, "Yessir."

They asked, "Why would he do that?"

Elizabeth answered, "He's the 1 that created The Finalists."

Helia opened the door and said, "See you around."

Thomas pulled out and said, "Thank you everyone. See you when I get back."

They said, "I love you Thomas."

Thomas put his thumb out and said, "They are insane."

4: Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 1
Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 1

Thomas drove on to the street and said, "See you around everyone."

They said, "See you around Thomas."

Thomas started driving to LA and then a person in a mask appeared next to Thomas's car and his GPS beeped and Thomas looked at it and it said, "Race me Thomas Zok. We're headed in the same direction. The LA Circuit."

Thomas asked, "Do you have any friends to race with?"

The masked person typed, "Yes I do."

They appeared and Thomas saw them and said, "OK. Let's do this then."

They stopped in front of the red light and Raymond Shanks said, "As soon as the light turns green, we race till the 5th street light and we continue doing that till we get to our destination. Got it."

Thomas said, "I can handle that. How about you masked person?"

The masked person smiled and typed, "Yes I can. Bring it on."

They started revving there engines and said, "OK. Let's do this."

They started burning rubber and Thomas got directions to where they were going and so did everyone else and Hector James asked, "Why are we joining in boss? This'll just ruin our record."

The masked person typed, "Because, this will be a fun match with a new opponent. Plus, you don't even know who he is. I do."

Raymond heard that and asked, "What do you mean by that boss?"

The masked person typed, "I can't tell you that till the LA Circuit is over."

Thomas laughed and the light turned green and they drove off and did wheelies.

The masked person asked herself, "How is he so good? He thinks that I'm dead still. But I'd like to tell him that I am alive still. I want to tell him soon. I love him so much."

Hector said, "Thomas, where are you headed?"

Thomas answered, "LA Circuit. You should know that. We're all headed in the same direction. But we might know different paths on getting there."

Raymond heard that and said, "You must be the insane man. The Legendary Driver."

Thomas said, "That would be me."

Thomas saw the first turn and hit the gas and drifted around the corner and passed the 1st street light and said, "1."

Hector said, "You're right about that."

The masked person said, "We only passed 1 street light. That doesn't mean that you won Thomas."

Thomas said, "I know. That's why I'm counting. And now you decide to talk."

The masked person said, "It's too dangerous for me to type while driving. I'd get into a car accident like last year which caused me to get this mask on my face."

Thomas said, "I'm sorry to hear that."

Raymond said, "The boss actually spoke for once."

The masked person said, "Yes, that's because I love the way this man drives. And I've always wanted to see it so I knew how do deal with him in a race."

Thomas heard that and said, "You do eh. Sounds like my sister. But she's dead. 5 years ago she died because the race was sabotaged. It caused me to have a major breakdown and quit racing."

Hector said, "But you're racing now. Why?"

Thomas answered, "A ghost appeared in front of me and said that I should continue racing and that I should get her out of my head. And that's what I'm doing now. I'm the boss of the Finalists."

The masked person said, "I'm the boss of Fastlane."

Thomas heard that and said, "Nice name."

Raymond said, "So is yours Thomas."

Thomas said, "Thank you. Mia was a member of the organization."

The masked person heard that and said, "She was."

Thomas said, "Yep. She is also a legendary driver."

Thomas stared at the GPS and saw it glitching and Hector asked, "Do you see your GPS glitching?"

Thomas answered, "Yeah. Someone doesn't want us to get to the LA Circuit."

Raymond said, "I see."

The masked person asked, "What are we going to do Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "I have something to fix our problem."

Thomas took out his laptop and drifted around the 3rd corner of that street and said, "2 street lights down."

Raymond said, "Yep. Now get to work man."

Thomas said, "Don't rush me boy. I got this."

Thomas hacked into the system of who was hacking him and the masked person saw the car in front of Thomas's car and Thomas continued typing and Thomas hit the gas and drifted around the car and said, "Don't worry. I can see the cars ahead of me while doing this. By the way, tell me when the GPS's stop glitching. I'm almost there."

They said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "It's Thomas. Not sir."

George Tyson said, "You know Elizabeth Tyson right Thomas."

Thomas said, "Yeah, I know her. She's a member of The Finalists."

George asked, "Was she a good leader while you were gone?"

Thomas answered, "Yes she was."

Thomas put his visor down and took out the picture of Mia and said, "I didn't want to race anymore because I didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. That was my first accident."

The masked person said, "The driver owns this world. The police are only here to capture the criminals that kill or injure the drivers. And yet, they can't even find the person that sabotaged your race."

Thomas said, "You have a point masked person."

Raymond said, "So what do you plan on doing about it Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "I'm going to find out who did it for the police. And when I do, I don't know what's going to happen to me or to that person."

They heard that and Thomas saw that the glitch was gone and the GPS said, "580 more miles to go."

Thomas said, "Holy shit."

George laughed and said, "580 miles ain't that bad."

The masked person said, "We'll have a lot of fun today."

Raymond said, "Yes we will."

The GPS said, "Turn left now."

Thomas drifted around the 7th corner on that street and said, "3 street lights down, 2 to go."

The masked person said, "You won't win Mr. Zok."

Thomas said, "Come on guys. Hit the gas already. I'm a legend you know."

The masked person grinned and said, "Don't mock them Thomas."

Thomas heard that and hit the gas and went into his 5th gear and was going 249 MPH and Raymond said, "You had to say that."

George said, "You pissed him off."

Hector said, "This is who we're up against in the LA Circuit. This is insane."

The masked person said, "Damn you old man."

Thomas said, "I'm not that old masked person. Bring it on."

Hector hit the gas and so did everyone else and Jason Trevors called Thomas and said, "Thomas, it's Jason Trevors. The announcer for the LA Circuit."

Thomas said, "Jason, it's nice to here from you. How's the race coming along?"

Jason answered, "So far 90 racers. Got to make this â…• of the year insane. So I'm going to have 100 racers for the entire year."

Thomas smiled and said, "Good. I need this race to be interesting. Because I'm back."

Jason heard that and said, "You are. That's good. The people around here are a little worried about you Thomas."

Thomas asked, "Why are they worried?"

Jason answered, "They want to see some excitement and they don't think that you could excite them this year."

Thomas heard that and said, "Tell them that I'm back for a comeback. If I lose, I lose. If I win, I win. And if I tie up, I tie up. It's my same policy as 5 years ago. And I don't plan on changing it Jason. I'm counting on you to make this an interesting race for me this year."

Jason said, "I got it Thomas."

Thomas said, "Well, I have to go."

Jason said, "OK. See you soon Thomas."

Thomas said, "Yep. See you soon."

Thomas hung up and the masked person asked, "Who was that?"

Thomas answered, "Jason Trevors. The announcer for the LA Circuit this year."

George said, "That's cool."

Thomas saw the light and they passed it and said, "1 more light to go and then we have fun."

Thomas said, "Yes we will."

Raymond asked, "How long have you been racing Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Years. That's all I know."

Hector said, "You've been relaxing for so long and forgot about racing altogether."

Thomas said, "Actually, I didn't forget anything about racing. I just forgot how much fun it was, how long I was racing for and a couple other things."

George said, "Thomas has a point."

The masked person saw the light and hit the gas and went to gear 6 and Thomas saw her pass him and Thomas smiled and said, "Too early."

Thomas went to gear 6 and passed her and crossed the 5th street light and won.

Hector said, "The boss almost beat him."

The masked person said, "Being fast is nothing in racing. It's the way the driver drives his/her baby."

Thomas said, "You're right. As soon as we get to the next street light, we stop."

Raymond said, "OK."

They drove till they got to the next street light.

5: Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 2
Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 2

They drove to the next street light and the masked person said, "We're at the next street light."

Thomas said, "Yes we are."

Thomas stared at her car and then looked at his picture again and saw that the cars were the same and his eyes closed and put it away and George asked, "What's wrong Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "That car reminds me of my sister. And looks exactly the same as it did in the picture."

The masked person said to herself, "He's getting closer to the answer."

Hector said, "OK."

They revved there engines and Thomas said to himself, "If she drives like my sister, then I know who it is."

Hector said, "Let the fun begin."

Thomas heard that and as soon as the light turned green Thomas didn't move his car and the masked person asked, "What is he doing?"

Thomas looked at his car and then said, "Time for the change."

Thomas hit the gas and hit all of the switches and drove fast as hell making every turn needed and passed them with ease and Raymond saw that and said, "He was all the way behind us. How'd he catch up with us?"

The masked person answered, "He's trying to figure out who I am."

Thomas said, "If you drive like my sister. Drive the same car as her as well. You must be a total asshole."

The masked person heard that and her heart broke as soon as she heard asshole.

Hector said, "Don't talk about the boss like that."

Thomas smiled and opened the windows and said, "Let the air flow."

Raymond asked, "What are you talking about?"

The masked person asked, "Why'd you decide to race again Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "A girl named Mia Zok. You should know her because you're copying her style of racing."

The masked person asked, "Would you like to join the organization Fastlane, Thomas? It's right up your alley."

Thomas answered, "Nope. I'm staying with the Finalists. My heart belongs to that organization."

The masked person started crying and Raymond asked, "Are you ok boss?"

The masked person answered, "I'm fine. I miss my brother, that's all."

Thomas heard that and asked, "Who is your brother?"

The masked person answered, "I don't want to tell you. But you'll find out after I beat you in the LA Circuit."

George heard that and said, "We won't beat him boss."

Thomas heard that and saw a gas station and said, "See you around."

The masked person asked, "Where are you going?"

Thomas answered, "The gas station to buy myself something to eat and drink."

The masked person said, "OK. We'll meet you at LA Circuit then."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Thomas drifted into the gas station and won the 2nd time as well.

George asked, "Are we just going to leave him here alone?"

The masked person answered, "Yes we are. He'll be fine."

Thomas bought himself 20 drinks and a lot of food and ate it while driving and and drunk his drinks while driving as well. Thomas was 498 miles away from his destination. Thomas continued speeding to the LA Circuit and got there in no time. But he raced a couple people around the place and defeated them with ease. Thomas won 48 times getting him to 100 miles away.

But then, a new racer appeared and he's headed to the same location as Thomas and and Thomas saw him going at the same pace as his car and asked, "Who are you?"

The driver put his window down and saw Thomas and said, "You must be Thomas Zok. It's nice to meet you. I'm Jason Tyson."

Thomas asked, "Are you George Tyson's brother?"

Jason answered, "Yes I am. You can't tell me that you've met him."

Thomas said, "Yeah, he lost in 2 races against me today."

Jason said, "That's insane. He's a member of Fastlane. The best organization in the world."

Thomas said, "I'm from the Finalists."

Jason heard that and said, "The former best organization in the world. I can't believe as soon as you left it, it went down hill and Fastlane rose because it's new."

Thomas asked, "How new is it?"

Jason answered, "2 years old. You quit 5 years ago. The boss is a woman in a mask."

Thomas said, "I know that. I beat her as well."

Jason heard that and said, "Impossible. She's the best driver in the world."

Thomas said, "You're talking to The Legendary Driver right now. I can defeat everyone. Except for the other legendary drivers. I'm only 1 out of many."

Jason said, "I'll race you all the way to the LA Circuit. We're headed to the same place."

Thomas said, "Yes we are. Let's race there then."

Jason said, "OK. Let's do this then."

Thomas said, "OK. We start at the next pole."

Jason said, "OK."

They stopped at the pole and parked there cars for 2 minutes.

6: Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 3
Thomas Zok's Drive to the LA Circuit, Part 3

As soon as they stopped at the pole, Thomas asked, "Did you find me by chance? Or did you follow me or something Jason?"

Jason laughed and answered, "I found you by chance. Why would I follow you? Even though there are people that want you dead though."

Thomas heard that and said, "I know. So when do you want to start?"

Jason started revving his 1970 Dodge Challenger and Thomas smiled and revved his engine and said, "OK Jason. Let's go. Me vs you till we get to the LA Circuit."

Jason said, "We're talking around 100 miles Thomas."

Thomas said, "I know. It'll be fun."

Jason said, "Of course it will. It'll also be fun when you blow a tire again."

Thomas heard that and stared at Jason and Jason was smiling and Thomas asked, "What do you mean again?"

Jason covered his mouth after he said that and Jason said, "On your marks."

Thomas grinned and said, "I'm going to kill them bastard."

But Thomas started burning rubber in his 1970 Dodge Charger and Jason said, "Get set."

Then he started burning rubber and then Thomas yelled, "Go."

They took off and they were doing wheelies and Jason smiled and said, "He's keeping up with me."

Thomas said, "He's a total dick. I will kill him before we get to the finish line. Even if his dumbass brother is watching."

Jason stared at Thomas and Thomas went to 2nd gear and passed him and Jason saw that and the masked person appeared and George said, "Jason. What is he doing?"

Thomas looked behind him and saw the 4 cars behind them and Jason grinned and landed his wheelie and Jason said, "Maybe I should injure you in front of my brother. To show him what he's up against."

Thomas heard that and the car went down to the ground and Thomas started driving and then Jason tried hitting the back of Thomas's car, but Thomas kept driving out of the way and Jason said, "Stop moving dammit."

Thomas said, "I know that you love me."

Thomas hit the gas and went to his 4th gear and the masked person said, "He's trying to kill him."

Hector grinned and said, "Impossible."

Thomas poked his head out of the window and looked ahead of him and saw a car in front of him and Jason smiled and Thomas drifted around the car barely and said, "Oh shit. That bastard really is trying to kill me."

Raymond said, "Do something about your damn brother."

Jason stared at his tires and took out a shotgun and Thomas heard it and hit the brakes and the car pulled back while Jason flew passed him and Jason yelled, "Stay still dammit. You need to learn how to stay dead like your ugly ass sister."

The masked person said, "You shouldn't have said that."

Thomas drove to his car and Jason asked, "What are you planning to do you little shit? You can't flip my car over."

Thomas yelled, "No one talks shit about my sister."

Raymond heard that and George started driving faster and the masked person said, "Dammit. Save him."

They said, "Yes ma'am."

Thomas saw them coming and Jason aimed his gun at them and started shooting and they got down and George sighed and said, "Do it Thomas. He's not my brother anymore."

Thomas said, "Good. He's the 1 that killed my sister."

The masked person heard that and yelled, "Do it already Thomas. Avenge your sister."

Thomas drove into the back of Jason's car and nothing happened and Thomas took out his panel and started typing a code and a set of gatling turrets appeared on top of his car and Thomas hit the button and started shooting at his car at the 75 miles completed of the race already.

Jason started drifting around and Thomas smiled and hit the gas and went to 5th gear and sped up and hit the side of Jason's car and used his hydraulics to lift the car up off of the ground and Thomas yelled, "Revenge is a bitch."

The masked person said, "He really has changed."

Thomas continued driving toward the LA Circuit and the masked person said, "You really had feelings for your sister didn't you Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I did. We loved each other very much."

Thomas put the turrets away and Mia said, "Hit the gas everyone."

Everyone did and caught up to Thomas and Thomas said, "I'm sorry about your brother George."

George laughed and said, "He was definitely not my brother. What was his name?"

Thomas answered, "Jason Tyson."

George said, "Never mind. That is my brother. Who cares, he tried killing me?"

Thomas asked, "Do you have a sister named Elizabeth Tyson?"

George answered, "Yeah, she's the head of the Finalists."

Thomas said, "Not anymore. I'm back. And I'm the 1 that created the Finalists with my sister. Let's finish our 25 miles to the LA Circuit after we go to the gas station. It'll be our final race till we get there."

The masked person said, "OK. Let's do that."

They drove to the nearest gas station which was 5 miles away from them and Raymond said, "That leaves us with 20 miles Thomas."

Thomas said, "OK. We still have 20 miles of fun."

Hector said, "Thomas has a point."

They put gas into there cars and paid them and then drove off and as soon as they got to the next pole, they stopped completely and the masked man said, "OK. We start here."

Thomas said, "OK. We're almost there everyone. And then 3 days of waiting for us to verse each other."

Raymond said, "Yep."

George said, "That sucks."

The masked person said, "I'll be training till the race. So I'll be prepared."

Thomas said, "I see. I'll be counting on that then."

Hector said, "On your marks."

Everyone revved there engine except for Thomas.

Thomas burnt rubber and Thomas said, "Get set."

Everyone was burning rubber and George yelled, "Go."

They took off with Thomas doing a wheelie and Raymond said, "Thomas is good."

Thomas said, "I'm getting too old for this shit."

The masked person laughed and said, "You're way too funny Thomas. I can't wait to verse you in the LA Circuit. I heard that this year is going to be its largest 1 yet."

Thomas said, "It is. I don't know why though."

George said, "We'll find out as soon as we get there."

Thomas said, "Yes we will."

They drove and as soon as they got a mile away, Raymond said, "A mile away everyone."

The masked person said, "You're right about that Raymond. 1 mile away."

Hector said, "That's not that far."

George said, "Of course it isn't. We've been driving for over 700 miles."

Thomas smiled and said, "I must agree with you there. It was a pretty far journey. But we survived. Barely."

They laughed and said, "Thomas, you truly are hilarious."

Thomas said, "I'm not going to take that as a compliment. We nearly died trying to get here."

The masked person said, "Shut up everyone. Thomas has a point."

They saw the sign being held and the GPS said, "Your destination is ¼ away."

Thomas laughed and hit his nitrous and flew to the finish line and won and the masked person said, "Damn you Thomas."

Thomas drifted and parked his car and Jason saw Thomas's car and yelled, "Everyone, the Legendary Driver is back."

Thomas started working on his car because of the damage that it took and the masked person saw that and Thomas turned around and stared at everyone and walked toward them all and went to the stage and took a microphone and said, "This is Thomas Zok speaking. People know me as the Legendary Driver."

Everyone started cheering and Thomas said, "Be quiet. I'm still speaking."

They did and said, "We're sorry sir."

Thomas said, "It's ok. Before coming here, I was attacked by a criminal driver."

Everyone heard that and asked, "Who was it?"

Thomas answered, "The same man that caused me to quit the racing career for 5 years."

Jason asked, "Where is he now?"

Thomas answered, "He's dead. I killed him."

Everyone heard that and Thomas asked, "Would you allow anyone to talk shit about a relative or dead relative of yours and let them get away with it? I couldn't take it anymore. I went berserk for a couple hours. If any of you need me, I'll be sleeping in my car till the event starts."

Everyone heard that and Thomas dropped the microphone and walked to his car and fell asleep.

7: The Masked Person vs. Robert Miles
The Masked Person vs. Robert Miles

Jason walked around and stared at the Masked Person and then Robert Miles car and said, "We have 2 days before the big race everyone. Right now, we're going to watch the Masked Person and Robert Miles race each other. They'll doing the same circuit as the real race. And the real circuit is the same as every year we have it. So drive to the starting lines."

They did and Jason said, "You guys know the rules right."

The Masked Person said, "I know the rules."

Robert said, "Yep. I've been in this circuit before Thomas Zok gave up with life."

The Masked Person said, "He didn't give up with life. He was afraid of hurting other people."

Jason asked, "Why are you sticking up for him?"

The Masked Person answered, "I can't tell any of you the reason."

Thomas stepped out of the car and Jason said, "He's awake."

Robert heard that and Thomas walked toward Jason and Jason asked, "What are you doing Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "I'm going to start this race. I can't wait for the circuit. Because I have a bet that I want to win."

Everyone heard that and asked, "What type of bet?"

Thomas pointed at the Masked Person and answered, "If I beat you in LA Circuit 2739.2, you have to show everyone your face."

The Masked Person heard that and said, "If that's what you want. I'll do anything for you."

Thomas heard that and Robert said, "It seems that you're losing your touch Thomas."

Thomas asked, "What makes you say that?"

Robert answered, "You have a man falling in love with you."

Thomas asked, "How do you know that he's a man? He could be a girl."

Robert said, "He's got a male voice."

Thomas said, "A mask could change the tone of your voice. He could actually be a she."

Robert grinned and said, "I want to race you later. But I will kick your ass this time."

Thomas said, "Just because you won before, doesn't mean that you are a good driver."

Robert asked, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Thomas answered, "You could be a terrible driver. The better you are, the more control of the car you can handle. Like me."

Robert grin and Thomas said, "On your marks."

Robert revved the engine of his 1984 Honda Accord and said, "I can't wait to defeat you again Thomas. I defeated you once and only once. I'll make you lose again."

Thomas heard that and said, "In your dreams Robert."

Robert heard that and Thomas smiled and said, "Get set."

The Masked Person revved the engine of her 1990 Chevy Blazer and said to herself, "Stop talking about my brother. I love him very much. And I'll even get naked for him if he wants me to."

Thomas said, "You have nothing to say."

The Masked Person answered, "Nope. But I will take you up on your offer though. The bet, I accept it."

Thomas smiled and raised his arms and the Masked Person started burning rubber and Robert said, "Show off."

Thomas threw his arms down and yelled, "GO."

They took off and the Masked Person was doing a wheelie.

The Masked Person said, "Do you really think that you can beat me?"

Robert asked, "Who the hell are you? You're a masked man. Or a masked girl. Either or, Thomas will not be yours."

The Masked Person said, "Don't be so mean to me man."

Thomas snapped his fingers and the video of the race appeared on the big screen and Thomas yelled, "Be quiet. I need to watch this."

Helina Flake said, "Yessir."

Jason asked, "Who do you think is going to win this race Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "The Masked Person because she shows skill. But doesn't the Masked Person's driving look a little familiar?"

Jason watched and the Masked Person drifted around the 2nd turn of the race and Jason said, "All they have to do is complete 1 lap. And you're right, the Masked Person's driving looks like a friend of mine. Georgia Zok was her name."

Thomas said, "Georgia Zok. Who the hell is Georgia Zok?"

Jason answered, "Georgia Zok is a member of the Zok Family. Which is you, Mia Zok, Georgia Zok, George Zok, Ashley Zok, Miya Zok and Maya Zok. Each member except for your mom and dad are Legendary Drivers. Georgia is the 2nd best in the family. Plus, she is a member of the Racing Council and The Finalists. She, Miya and Maya joined the Racing Council and The Finalists after you resigned from your racing career. They made a name for themselves. And they have a surprise for you after the LA Circuit is over."

Thomas said, "They do."

Jason said, "Yep. But I don't know what it is."

The Masked Person saw Robert's car behind her and said, "You really think that you can beat me. A Legendary Driver."

Robert said, "There's nothing Legendary about you. All you do is wear a mask and flirt with the best driver in the world."

The Masked Person heard that and drifted around the 9th turn and drifted through 2 cars that were next to each other and Robert said, "He's insane. He's going to get himself killed."

The Masked Person laughed and said, "You can't beat me."

Robert hit the gas and started to catch up and the Masked Person saw that and Jason said, "I thought that you said that the Masked Person will win."

Thomas said, "She will win Jason. Just watch."

Jason said, "OK."

The Masked Person moved over to the side and Robert saw that and asked, "What is he doing? Is he trying to lose this race?"

The Masked Person allowed him to pass her and Robert laughed and the Masked Person said, "Thank you for passing me Robert."

Robert heard that and she hit the gas and Robert grinned and said, "He's going to pass me. I can't let that happen."

Robert moved in front of her car and the Masked Person kept going back and forth and Robert said, "This person truly is insane."

The Masked Person fooled Robert by making him go left when she went right and she hit the nitrous and flew passed him and Robert said, "This person is getting on my nerves. He passed me."

The Masked Person saw the finish line and Thomas stared at the cars and the Masked Person said, "I win Robert. And do you really think that you can beat Thomas Zok now? I lost to him 3 times in a row."

Robert heard that and answered, "I can defeat him. Hopefully no one sabotages our race together again."

The Masked Person asked, "Who did that anyway?"

George answered, "Jason Tyson did. Thomas Zok killed him."

The Masked Person said, "I see. Jason Tyson tried killing Thomas."

Robert said, "It seems so."

The Masked Person passed the finish line ahead of Robert and stopped the car next to Thomas and Thomas said, "Nice race."

The Masked Person said, "Thank you very much."

Jason said, "You were right Thomas. The Masked Person did win."

Thomas said, "Never underestimate a driver. If you do that, you will automatically lose. Even if your opponent is driving a truck. Not a pickup truck. An actual truck."

Robert said, "Yeah right."

Thomas heard that and laughed and Robert asked, "What's so funny Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "You don't think that I can beat you with a truck. I love this man."

Robert asked, "What do you mean? Wait, I'm not gay."

Thomas said, "Neither am I and why are you bringing that up?"

Robert answered, "Good question. Who is next?"

Jason answered, "Thomas Zok vs. Jordan Myers. Sounds like a plan."

Thomas said, "OK. What do you say Jordan?"

Jordan stood up and answered, "I accept. As long as I win, I'll be happy."

Thomas heard that and said, "Oh boy."

They entered there cars.

8: Thomas Zok vs. Jordan Myers
Thomas Zok vs. Jordan Myers

Jason said, "Thomas Zok vs. Jordan Myers. Sounds like a plan."

Thomas said, "OK. What do you say Jordan?"

Jordan stood up and answered, "I accept. As long as I win, I'll be happy."

Thomas heard that and said, "Oh boy."

They ran to there cars and drove to the starting line and then typed the coordinates of the race and Jason said, "This is a race between Thomas Zok and Jordan Myers. It'll begin soon."

The masked person walked out of her car and walked toward Jason and Jason asked, "What are you doing man?"

She heard that and answered, "I'll start the race between these 2. Plus, if I beat you in the LA Circuit Thomas, you have to take your shirt and pants off."

Jordan heard that and yelled, "What kind of betting system is this? What are you 2?"

The masked person answered, "Someone he knows. Or should know."

Thomas heard that and grinned and said, "I accept this bet. I can't wait."

The masked person said, "2 Legendary Drivers versing each other in 2 days. Who do you think will win Jason?"

Jason answered, "Thomas Zok. There's no way that he'll lose against anyone."

Thomas fell asleep and the masked person said, "On your marks."

Jordan revved the engine of his 2016 Dodge Charger and yelled, "Wake up dammit."

Thomas didn't hear that and the masked person said, "Interesting. Get set."

Thomas was asleep and revved the engine of his car and Jordan said, "This man is impossible."

Thomas started burning rubber and Jordan saw that and the masked person yelled, "GO."

They took off and Thomas let the car do all of the work and he was doing a wheelie for a while and as soon as he landed, Thomas opened his eyes and said, "I'm awake. What happened?"

The car answered, "You went to sleep before the race. So I started it for you."

Thomas heard that and said, "I see. Who's winning?"

The car answered, "Us. Go all-out sir."

Thomas smiled and hit the gas and Jordan said, "Impossible. The car was only going 80 MPH before. Now it's going 170 MPH."

The masked person saw that and Thomas yelled, "This is a warning to you masked person. I'm gonna go all-out till the LA Circuit."

He stuck his head out of the car and Jordan saw that and saw spikes and said, "Oh shit."

The car maneuvered out of that situation and said, "That was close."

Thomas looked up and yelled, "Stop the race. Stop the race now."

Thomas stopped the car and walked to the spike strip and Jordan saw that and stopped the car right before the spike strip and asked, "What's wrong?"

Thomas answered, "Someone is trying to kill me."

Jordan heard that and Thomas grabbed the strip and threw it away and ran back to his car and said, "See you around."

Jordan saw that and said, "There was nothing there. He tricked me."

Thomas took off and Jason said, "That was a nice ass trick. It never gets old."

The masked person said, "Amazing. But something flew out of his hands though."

Elizabeth Flyer said, "The masked person is right. I saw something pointy fly out of his hands."

Jason said, "So it wasn't a trick. It's happening again. Someone is trying to kill Thomas. Just like 5 years ago."

Elizabeth said, "Yep. And I can't wait to find out who did it."

Thomas appeared around the corner and the car said, "Watch out."

Thomas said, "Huh."

The car yelled, "Spikes."

Thomas heard that and started maneuvering around it, but his right side tires hit the spikes and Thomas's car started flipping out of control just like 5 years ago and Jordan saw that and said, "He wasn't lying. Oh shit."

Thomas was screaming and the masked person said, "It actually happened."

His car flew over the finish line and Jason asked, "Who wants him dead?"

As soon as the car stopped rolling, Thomas took his seatbelt off and opened the door and stepped out uninjured and everyone stared at him and Jordan said, "He still beat me after all that."

Thomas looked at his car and said, "Oh boy. 5 years of hard work is gone. 5 years."

A 2014 Nissan Altima appeared next to Thomas and asked, "What brings you to LA? I thought I told you to never come back here."

Thomas heard that and said, "It can't be. You bitch."

Helina asked, "Where'd that car come from?"

The girl asked, "Why are you in my territory Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "The LA Circuit."

The girl said, "You really think that I'll let you race in my territory."

Thomas said, "I don't care if you'll let me or not. I own the Racing World."

The girl yelled, "I guess that you don't want to look at me. It seems that you are afraid to fall in love with me. I told you if you fell in love with me, I'd stop trying to kill you. But you killed 1 of my men, Jason Tyson. Even though he deserved it. I have to thank you. You betrayed me."

Thomas asked, "How is that?"

The girl answered, "Jason tried to assassinate me. His boss. Elizabeth Carter. The boss of Hellions Fast Cars."

Thomas heard that and walked away from her and said, "Damaging my car will cost you."

Elizabeth said, "I don't care Thomas. Get prepared to die in LA."

The masked person ran toward Thomas and asked, "Are you ok?"

Thomas answered, "I'm fine."

Elizabeth grinned and said, "You dare to listen a masked person. That thing might not even be human."

Thomas said, "Shut up Elizabeth."

Elizabeth grinned and walked out of the car and walked toward him and the masked person asked, "How long have you 2 known each other?"

Elizabeth answered, "10 years. He used to work for me. And it seems that you are a human. We need to talk Thomas."

Thomas said, "Yes we do."

Thomas snapped his fingers and the car woke up and asked, "What is it sir?"

Thomas smiled and answered, "Repair the car please."

The car said, "Got it."

They asked, "Who was that speaking?"

Thomas answered, "My car was speaking. 5 years of hard work into this car. And made it by hand. That's the reason I wasn't racing. This car."

The car was fixed and Thomas entered it and said, "Tell Jason that I'll be back. This might get ugly."

Elizabeth laughed and said, "OK. It's not going to get ugly. I promise."

The masked person said, "I'll be waiting for you."

Thomas said, "If you plant anymore spike strips on the streets of LA while I'm in it, you know what's going to happen to you right."

Elizabeth said, "Yes I do. You'll kill me even if I was your sister."

Thomas said, "Yep."

The masked person said, "See you later. 2 days from now you'll be stripping in front of everyone."

Thomas laughed and said, "You mean that you'll be taking your mask off right."

The masked person said, "Yes. I mean that if you want to get your ass whooped by your own sister."

Thomas said, "I'm not afraid of my sisters. Even though they are all Legendary Drivers. Tell Jason that I'll be back on the racing day. I need to talk this woman alone."

The masked person said, "OK. I'll tell him."

They entered there cars and drove off.

The masked person ran back and Jason asked, "How is he?"

The masked person answered, "He's perfectly fine. And I can't wait to see his face when he wins. I know that he's unbeatable. And his car is better than 5 years ago."

Jason heard that and said, "I noticed. His car repaired itself. When will he be back?"

The masked person answered, "The day of the big race."

Jason said, "OK."

9: Elizabeth and Thomas Talk About the Race
Elizabeth and Thomas Talk About the Race

Elizabeth said, "Thomas, you need to forget about the LA Circuit."

Thomas asked, "Why should I do that Elizabeth? I haven't been behind the wheel of a car for 5 years. Why should I give up now?"

Elizabeth answered, "A member of the most dangerous racing organization, Ivan O'Brien will be racing there. The organization is Wrecking Cars."

Thomas said, "I've heard of them. I lost a friend of mine because of them. But if they are racing, then it should be fun."

Elizabeth said, "It isn't fun Thomas. This race will kill you, the Masked Person and me if we all drive in this race."

Thomas said, "It's too late Elizabeth. I already made my decision."

Elizabeth asked, "What would that decision be?"

Thomas answered, "I'm racing in this event. If you want me out, you'll have to kill me."

Elizabeth heard that and said, "You gotta be kidding me Thomas. I don't want you to die."

Thomas asked, "When did you start caring about me?"

Elizabeth answered, "6 years ago. Now don't race dammit."

Thomas smiled and said, "I won't listen to what you have to say. If I said that I'm racing, I'm racing."

Ivan drove toward them and Thomas said, "Racing is what I do best. Killing is second."

Elizabeth heard that and Ivan said, "Yo brat."

They looked at Ivan and asked, "What do you want for interrupting our conversation?"

Ivan answered, "To tell you to stay out of this race. I plan on killing Mia Zok. The girl behind the mask."

Thomas heard that and said, "I won't listen to you either."

Ivan asked, "Why not? I'm Ivan O'Brien. Your worst enemy."

Thomas said, "Good, I like to have enemies while racing."

Ivan said, "You have balls kid. How about coming to the qualifier? It's tomorrow at 3 P.M. That's when it starts. It'll tell us who'll be in the top 3. Between the 3 of us, only 2 of us will make it to the top 3. So stay out of my way idiot."

Thomas heard that and said, "I'm not an idiot."

Elizabeth said, "Mia Zok is dead."

Ivan asked, "Are you sure about that?"

Thomas answered, "I watched her die in my car 5 years ago. That's why I quit racing."

Ivan said, "Only pussies quit. Now you're back for revenge on the people that killed her. You have a long way to go brat. People from all over the world was involved in that incident."

Elizabeth asked, "How do you know that. Only the Hellion's Fast Cars know about that."

Ivan answered, "I was one of Thomas's opponents that day. I was directly behind him when Jason Tyson planted a spike strip in front of Thomas's car."

Thomas heard that and said, "So this is like a death race now. You think I came back to kill the people that killed my sister. You're wrong."

Ivan heard that and Thomas said, "I came back and because the Racing Council begged for me to come back. So don't tell me what I'm doing and what I'm not doing."

Ivan heard that and said, "You'll regret this Thomas Zok. You'll be my first victim then. Then the Masked Person. And then Elizabeth Carter."

Elizabeth heard that and asked, "Why am I in this?"

Ivan answered, "I hate Thomas. Anyone that he cares about is my enemy."

Thomas took a gun out and pointed it toward Elizabeth and said, "We aren't friends."

Ivan saw that and said, "You're even worse than me."

Elizabeth saw the gun and said, "Calm down Thomas. What have I ever done to you?"

Thomas answered, "Planted a spike strip on the street that I was racing on."

Elizabeth said, "I thought that we got over that already."

Thomas shot the car and Elizabeth turned the car into the pole and Ivan saw that and Thomas stopped his car and Ivan looked behind him and Thomas waved and Ivan looked ahead and yelled, "You bastard."

His car hit the other car and the two cars were completely destroyed and Thomas drove backwards and stopped as soon as he got to Elizabeth's car and ran to it and asked, "Are you ok Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth appeared behind him and asked, "Did you miss on purpose?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I did. The reason is that I want to race you 1 last time."

Elizabeth asked, "What do you mean one last time?"

Thomas answered, "Ivan was right."

Elizabeth asked, "What do you mean that he was right?"

Thomas answered, "I did come back to kill everyone that is involved with my sister's death."

Elizabeth said, "No, no, no. You can't do this Thomas. You'll never find them without my help."

Thomas said, "I know. That's why I'm taking you with me."

Elizabeth said, "Hold up. I can't do that."

Thomas asked, "Would you like to end up like him right now?"

Elizabeth answered, "You already tried that Thomas."

Thomas smiled and said, "You're right. Let's head back. We have a lot of practice to do."

Ivan fell out of the car and yelled, "Thomas Zok, you will die 2 days from now."

Thomas heard that and said, "Wow, he survived."

Elizabeth said, "So am I. Not even Abby Wade survived that shit. She had her head torn off."

Thomas said, "Yep, I heard about that incident. She was racing a insane man. Made a car drive right in front of her car."

Elizabeth said, "Yep. She died happily."

She snapped her fingers and her car was repaired and Thomas said, "Let's go."

Elizabeth said, "OK. I'll race you back Thomas."

Thomas said, "OK. It's a race."

Ivan yelled, "Don't ignore me dammit. Get me out of here."

They entered there cars and drove to the light and waited for it to turn green.

10: Elizabeth Carter vs. Thomas Zok
Elizabeth Carter vs. Thomas Zok

She snapped her fingers and her car was repaired and Thomas said, "Let's go."

Elizabeth said, "OK. I'll race you back Thomas."

Thomas said, "OK. It's a race."

Ivan yelled, "Don't ignore me dammit. Get me out of here."

They entered there cars and drove to the light and waited for it to turn green.

Elizabeth said, "I have to admit Thomas, you still know how to drive."

Thomas said, "Of course I still know how to drive. You really think that I wouldn't come back prepared."

Elizabeth laughed and said, "You never seem to change Thomas. But that's a good thing. How are the Finalists?"

Thomas answered, "They are all good. How about the Hellion's Fast Cars?"

Elizabeth answered, "Amazing. It seems that I underestimated you Thomas. I was expecting a man that didn't know how to drive to appear before me. But you turned my words into a pile of shit."

Thomas said, "Let's begin then."

Ivan stared at them and snapped his fingers and the car was repaired and he entered it and the light turned green and the 2 of them took off and Ivan followed them and Thomas did a wheelie and so did Elizabeth and then Ivan followed them and Thomas looked in his rearview mirror and said, "He repaired his car." Elizabeth said, "You gotta be kidding me Thomas."

Thomas said, "Look behind you."

Elizabeth looked through her rearview mirror and said, "That bastard really is trying to kill us."

Thomas said, "Interesting. Let the race continue."

Elizabeth said, "But he's following us Thomas."

Thomas asked, "Are you really going to let that stop us from racing? We used to work together dammit. Now we're rivals. I'm only after the masked person."

Elizabeth asked, "Why is that?"

Thomas answered, "I don't know. I just can't wait to see what she really looks like. And then I'll find out why she drives like my sister."

Elizabeth heard that and said, "OK Thomas. Let's continue."

They continued racing and then Ivan hit the gas and Thomas saw him getting closer and hit the gas pedal and flew passed her and Elizabeth saw that and said, "You gotta be kidding me. He really is persistent."

Thomas said, "Oh shut up Elizabeth. I wonder when I could see my sisters again."

Elizabeth said, "I bet that you would Thomas."

Ivan said, "You want to see them again eh. How about we play a little death game here?"

Thomas heard that and looked in his rearview mirror again and said, "You bastard."

Elizabeth hit the gas and caught up to Thomas and Ivan saw that and said, "Dammit. Why do they have to be so damn fast?"

Thomas said, "Get that damn 1998 Toyota Corolla out of here."

They continued to drive away from him and Ivan continued to follow them and then Thomas said, "Split up. The first person to get back to the event, wins. OK."

Elizabeth said, "Understood."

Thomas turned right and Elizabeth turned left and Ivan turned right and followed Thomas and Thomas saw him and the Racing Council caught on to Ivan's actions and Georgia said, "Let's see. Who are we up against?"

Mia answered, "Ivan O'Brien is after Thomas Zok's head."

Miya laughed and said, "He's after our little brother's head. I don't believe that."

Thomas hit the gas and Ivan did as well and said, "Come here Thomas. I'm going to kill you along with your family."

Ivan bumped into Thomas's car and Thomas grinned and said, "No, don't spin out dammit. I won't allow 5 years of work go into the trash."

Maya looked and said, "Put it on the big screen Walter."

Walter Clarke did and Ivan's car was hitting Thomas's car and Thomas grinned and said, "Ivan, get out of here."

Ivan said, "I'm afraid that I can't do that Mr. Zok. You must die."

Thomas hit the gas and Ivan tried to hit his car one last time, but Thomas moved up a little and Ivan smiled and said, "You're still in the game here."

Thomas turned the car left and Elizabeth asked, "How is Thomas doing? Ivan is after him and all."

Georgia said, "We can't allow him to die."

Maya asked, "Why is he after him?"

Mia answered, "He's a wanted man. But Thomas used to be one as well. But now he's racing for his family. Ivan races for vengeance. Thomas is his target because he hates the Zok Family for arresting his big brother, Harry O'Brien. Thomas was the cause of his arrest."

Miya heard that and said, "That makes sense. We need to do something."

Ivan said, "Thomas, look at you trying to be a hero by separating from the other girl. You'll die here along with that girl."

Ivan hit the gas and put the car beside his and Thomas looked at him and said, "Oh shit."

Ivan smiled and said, "It's nice to see that face of yours Thomas. You'll die here."

Thomas grinned and Ivan asked, "Are you going to go faster than me or are you going to slow down? Either way, I win."

Thomas heard that and looked behind him and saw nothing and Ivan said, "In front of you Thomas."

Thomas saw the car driving toward him and Ivan put his car beside his and connected the cars and Thomas yelled, "You bastard."

The driver hit the nitrous and then jumped out of the car and Thomas saw that and unbuckled himself and moved to the other side of the car and said, "Oh shit. The car is coming."

Ivan said, "A useless effort."

Thomas opened the door and looked at the car and grinned and jumped out and then the 2 cars collided and Ivan laughed and drove away and Thomas laid there on the ground and then Thomas stared at his car and snapped his fingers and the car appeared and Ivan smiled and turned the car around and Thomas entered his car and drove off by taking the next left and Elizabeth was 2 blocks away from the event and Thomas hit the gas and made it to the straight and yelled, "Die Ivan."

Ivan saw Thomas behind him and said, "Impossible. I killed you."

Georgia said, "Something is wrong with Thomas's car."

Thomas hit the nitrous and he started flying toward Ivan and Miya said, "No, there's something wrong with Thomas."

Maya said, "Thomas plans on killing Ivan. Why would he even want to do that?"

Thomas got behind his car and Elizabeth saw Ivan's car and said, "Thomas."

Thomas said, "You will regret damaging my car dammit."

Ivan heard that and Thomas bumped into his car and Ivan said, "Don't do it Thomas. You'll become a criminal."

Thomas asked, "Who gives a damn?"

Elizabeth saw something behind Ivan's car and Thomas drove beside the car and then turned his car into Ivan's car and pushed it to the side and Ivan grinned and then Thomas hit the breaks and Ivan's car spun out and then Thomas turned the car toward his car again and drove into the driver's side of the car and Ivan screamed and then drove him into a pole and Elizabeth crossed the finish line and Thomas smiled and said, "You win today Elizabeth."

Mia said, "Ivan's life source disappeared. He killed him along with Jason Tyson."

Miya asked, "What's with him? What is he planning?"

Thomas drove to the finish line and Thomas parked his car and Elizabeth said, "I'm sorry."

Thomas asked, "What are you sorry for?"

Elizabeth answered, "For leaving you."

Thomas said, "You didn't leave me. I left you."

Elizabeth heard that and asked, "Was this all apart of your plan?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. I only wanted to race you. But Ivan had to interfere. Oh well, he won't be a threat any longer."

Elizabeth asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Thomas answered, "He's dead."

Elizabeth heard that and looked at him and Thomas stepped out of his car and the Masked Person stared at him and asked, "How do you feel Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Good. How do you feel?"

The Masked Person answered, "I can't wait for this race. So I could finally have a feeling of how you race. Even losing to her is amazing. How do you feel about that?"

Thomas answered, "It's only a race. You win, you lose, it really doesn't matter. It only makes you famous or not famous. I came back not for the comeback, but for the events to be more interesting."

Elizabeth said, "Interesting. You call racing me interesting. We almost died because of you."

Thomas sighed and said, "It's all because I helped arrest his older brother."

The Masked Person heard that and said, "I see."

Jason said, "The next race is Thomas Zok vs. Allen Royson. Who will win? Vote now and then we'll see the results as soon as the race is finished."

Thomas entered his car and they drove to the start line and the Masked Person said, "You better make this race interesting dammit."

Thomas said, "It'll be interesting. I guarantee it."

Elizabeth said, "I hope so Thomas. Because we'll be counting on you on the big day."

The Masked Person said, "And that's 2 days from now."

Thomas said, "I know that."

Allen looked at his ride and said, "Nice ride dog."

Thomas said, "I could say the same to you. It's a 2016 Honda Civic."

Allen said, "Yes it is. Your race against Jordan was nothing. But against me is a completely different story."

Thomas said, "Prove it by showing me what you've got kid."

Allen smiled and said, "I plan to."
