Chapter 14

So, anyone who thinks street racing happens strictly in L.A., Tokyo or down in Miami is wrong, dead wrong. Two a.m. in the heart of Queens a race is about to start and almost everyone was there. Always looking to create the perfect entrance Bubble and her girls finally rolled up to the race!

“Hmmm well, well, well Lady Drac how nice of yous to show up fashionably late as always!” A brazen twenty-year-old black man with dreadlocks said sarcastically watching Bubble and her two friends emerge from a Nissan skyline GT-R, a Mitsubishi Eclipse RS, and a Subaru WRX STI; he fell into step behind them eyeing their scanty attire. Bubble was dressed in an off the shoulder crimson cloak that came to her heel, a navy tube top covered in silver spider-webs that ended in a spiky scallop with indigo jeans so tight many people in the crowd were wondering how in the hell she was breathing!!! The outfit was giving everyone quite a showing of Bubble’s wash board abs and her voluptuous chest. “So, which one of you lovelies is gonna be jammin tonight?”

“Uuuuummmm you’re looking at her and she’s just got one question…how much are we ponying up this time?” Bubble said as the three girls walked up to where the perspective drivers were just lounging around while the crowd salivated over the cars especially Bubbles.

“Hhhhmm you always gettin straight to it and damn I likes that in a honey. So, cats and kittens we lookin at three large this go round.” The man with the dreads said sliding in between Bubble and Sharon and trying to cop cheap feels off of the two of them. He didn’t have much luck as Sharon shot him a look of disgust and immediately moved two feet away from him.

“Oooh Reefer if yous don’t get that greasy paw off of my shoulder in the next two seconds Bubble’s gonna crack ya in the cranium!!!!” Bubble growled balling her hands into fists.

“Yeah, sure doll not a problem.” He said quickly pulling his hand off of her shoulder. Damn what is it with these bitches always bein so ice like!? “Aight, aight, aight so are we doin this or are we doin this?” He asked jamming his hands into his pockets. There were shouts and cat-calls as the crowd watched him get shot down in flames. “Aight cats and kittens time ta ante up let’s do this!!”

“Humph ONLY three large yawn how boring; we really should do something more to make this worth our while…why don’t we raise the stakes?” Bubble asked coyly twirling her gum around her right index finger. Hmmm so let’s see how much Bubble can take these suckas for this go round?

“Whoa, whoa, WHOA now hold up just a god damn minute…this bitch can’t just roll up late say raise the stakes and BAM the stakes are raised!” A man dressed like Austin Powers stormed up and yelled.

“Awww what’s wrong ya got no balls, step off the line and let someone else roll out cause this ain’t for babies!” Bubble retorted and she slinked off towards her car. “If yall ain’t too scared why not shake things up and have us a little side bet?”

“Oh, and just what exactly does the great and all-powerful Queen of the Night have in mind?” The man responded as he entered his black ford mustang. “Humph you can’t seriously think you’ve got any sort of a snowballs’ chance in hell with one of those, do you?!

“Hmmm well since ya are askin the queen…she’s thinkin why don’t we race for pinks?” Bubble said slyly as a smile flashed across her face. All according to plan, heh, heh, heh all according to plan, it still amazes even me sometimes that I always, always, ALWAYS get my way in the end!!

“Whoa, whoa, hold up d-d-did yous just say you wanted to race for pinks?!” The guy sputtered in surprise and shock.

“Uuumm yeah, that’s exactly what Bubble just said…unless of course you’re too scared!” Bubble retorted entering the crimson Mitsubishi. She started the engine and slowly inched her way towards the row of cars. As she took her place, she revved her engine a couple of times. “So, what’s the dealio are we betting or do yous still not have your balls?!” She gave him just the slightest of psychic nudges.

“All right all right all right cats and kittens let’s get it started!!!” Reefer called out while quickly running the line of cars and collecting the drivers’ money. He handed the wad to a young Asian woman with pink and purple hair.

“Yeah, aight bitch aight we racing for pinks but don’t come whining and crying talking about how you didn’t mean it and please don’t take your daddy’s car cause he’s gonna kill you when you lose!!” The dude dressed like Austin Powers finally lost his cool and fell right into Bubbles’ trap.

“Well, if everyone’s threw PMSN I suggest we get this thang started!” Reefer took his position in front of the line of cars. The rest of the drivers quickly entered their vehicles and the engines were soon roaring! “This race is on in 3, 2, 1 GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!” He became a statue as the cars came shooting out a few inches on either side past him. Down the street they flew making left and right turns with Bubble and the Austin Powers look-a-like battling for the lead.

“Come on, come on I’m the King of these streets and there’s no way some little slut’s gonna beat me!!” The man in the crushed velvet suit slammed his fists upon the steering wheel and screamed. Damn this bitch is good TOO good think I’m gonna hafta… what the HELL?! The look of shock and surprise on his face could have been seen from the moon as he watched Bubble fly by him in her Mitsubishi, twin streams of NOS fire clearly seen from her exhaust pipes.

Ha-hah-ha should’ve used your NOS sooner jackass! Bubble thought smiling, while she flew over the makeshift finish line.

“Wooooohoooooo yeah way to go girl take it home now; that’s right that’s my girl kicking all of yall’s asses!!” Marilyn shrieked and jumped in the air like she was a cheerleader again. Then she and Sharon high fived each other repeatedly and began running towards the line as Bubble came roaring in and the Austin Powers wanna be screeched in two seconds after her. “Whose boo-hooing now slime wad?!”

“No, no, no, there’s no way you coulda beat me unless…son of a bitch you a mutant?!!Well yous can forget it because there’s no chance in hell that I’m giving my car to a freak!!!!” Suddenly he felt someone tap him on the shoulder…as soon as he turned around, he was cold cocked right in the nose!! Blood was gushing from what was left of his nose and the Austin Powers look-a-like doubled over both with pain and rage dropping his keys in the process.

“Oh, dear looks like you’ve dropped the keys to my new car?! Now if yall would be so kind as to hand over the pink slip there won’t be any trouble!” The clone of Bubble that sucker punched him scoffed and quickly picked up the keys. “Now you ain’t thinkin about trying to renege on our bet, are you? Yous are a man of your word, right?” Unfortunately, the response wouldn’t come from him but from someone in the crowd. Another man dressed like Austin Powers snuck up out of the crowd behind her unnoticed and pulled a 25-caliber revolver from his pant waist. Taking a quick breath to try and steady his quivering hand he put the muzzle of the gun directly to the back of the clones’ head.

“Drop the keys freak or I’ll drop you right here!” The second wanna be Austin Powers growled pulling the hammer back on the revolver. There were gasps that were heard from a few in the crowd and there were also cat-calls and cheers that were heard as this scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes. “I don’t know and don’t care if you or the one that’s in the red Mitsubishi is the real deal but I’m willing to take my chances and if yous ain’t the real one your death will hurt her I bet!”

“That’s a bet you’d lose…now get the hell away from my sister.” A voice purred causing the man with the pistol to take his focus off of his victim as he turned to see who had snuck up behind him not noticing the look of surprise and shock on the clone’s face. As he did a small purple fire ball slammed into his hand! As he flailed his hand around in pain and rage the pistol slammed to the ground…while he howled like a rabid dog the clone reacted slamming her right fist straight into the son of a bitch’s sternum and reveled in the sound and feel of at least three of his ribs breaking. As he fell to the ground groaning in pain the clone walked over to the sore loser as he was slowly returning to a full upright position; dropping him again with an uppercut to the stomach and reaching into a couple of his pockets with no luck she found his pink slip. Folding the paper up and coyly sliding it into her tube top the clone gave him one last kick to the head for good measure then hopped into the mustang. “Bubble just loves the smell of a new car!!!! Oh, and Tanya thanks ever so for the assist even though Bubble didn’t call for back-up I still appreciate it!!! If there was a response it wouldn’t be heard this night because suddenly one of the lookouts gunned his engine and headed straight for the gathering.

“Bail out, everybody GO, GO, GO we’ve got pigs on the way!!!!” The sixteen-year-old look out cried out and then he took off like a bat out of hell!!! The crowd panicked and it was everyone for themselves! Sharon and Marilyn rushed to their own vehicles and got the hell outta dodge knowing that Bubble was more than capable of taking care of herself and her new ride.

Man, I sure hope she lets me joyride in that sweet thang once in a blue moon!!! Marilyn thought to herself as she gunned the engine with about seven squad cars roaring behind her. HAH yous fools think you’re gonna nail me ya ain’t got a snowballs’ chance in hell!!!

“Woo-HOOOO alright now things are starting to get GOOD!!!” Sharon yelled with glee as she too raced through the streets of Queens with ten squad cars on her tail. It was utter chaos as the massive gathering of street racers got intermixed with all of the squad cars and the news helicopter that showed up on scene wasn’t making the cop’s job any easier. “Come on, come on, come on suckers catch me if you can let’s see what ya got!!!!”

“God-damn it…how the fuck did the news crew find out about this?!!! Now where the HELL is our chopper at; worthless pilots are probably sitting on their asses drinking coffee and eating doughnuts back at 1PP!!!” One of the many beat cops in squad cars bitched as he nearly rolled his car trying to catch Marilyn’s black Nissan.

AHHH Ha-ha-ha-HAH you’ll NEVER catch me especially in those POS cars!!!! Marilyn thought to herself as her Nissan blew through a red light causing a massive ten car pile-up in the intersection.

“Tanya, TANYA where the hell are you?!!! “Ohhh come on sis we’ve GOT to get the hell outta here…man oh man pop is NOT gonna be happy about this once he gets wind of it!!! Tyler thought to himself as he became frantic in trying to find her. He knew what would happen to him if he not only got caught coming in this damn late but if he dared to come in without Tanya!!! Their father Phillip would ream the holy hell outta him!! Tyler quickly jumped into his navy-blue Dodge Viper gunned the engine and raced down the street looking for Tanya.

“Tyler, hey TYLER, where are you?!!! Come on Bro where are you…hey, hey, hey Tyler I’m over HERE!!!!” Tanya cried as she spotted from the corner of her left eye that familiar navy-blue Dodge Viper. She raced towards it and did a “Dukes of Hazzard” slide across the hood jumping into the passenger seat barely getting her seat belt on as her brother gunned the engine. “Come on, come on, go, go, GOOOO!!!! Unbeknownst to Tanya and Tyler their father Phillip was also there at the drag race confirming his suspicions about the two of them.

I knew it!!!! They’re gonna have a lot of explaining to do when they get home!!!! Phillip thought to himself putting his phone which had doubled as a video camera on this night deep into his right pants pocket. He sprinted over to an alley where a silver BMW had been hidden. No pop we aren’t racing we know how yous feel about it! We’d never disobey you on this!!! HUMPH let me see the two of you con your way out of this once I show this video to your mother!!!!

“What the hell were you thinking Tanya?!! DO you have any, any clue what kind of shit I’d be in if anything were to happen to you?!!! We’re going home and I don’t want to hear a word otherwise GOT it?!! “Tyler screamed at his sister as they along with others from the race zoomed through the streets of Queens into the other boroughs of New York and back home.

“All right Ty all right no need to have a coronary you wanna head home, let’s go home! MAN, you shoulda seen the look on Bubbles’ face when she saw that I was the one who helped her! Maybe now she’ll see that we aren’t so different after all!!” Tanya said happily as she enjoyed the wind whipping through her raven colored and crimson streaked hair.

“Oh yeah and then maybe the two of yous will have a slumber party on the moon with the fairies and the unicorns!!! Jeez, when are you going to realize that she hates us, she wants NOTHING to do with us!!! We both have tried reaching out to her and every single solitary time she’s blown us off and YET you just have to keep on trying, don’t you?!!!” Her brother retorted as they hauled ass through the streets of Queens and Manhattan on their way back into Connecticut.

“That’s right and do you know why I keep trying…NEWS flash she’s our sister!!! Daddy was the one who wronged her and if she just got to know us, I am sure that she would if not love us then at least be friends with us. Now she knows that I’m into cars and that’ll mean you are too…Ty look OUT!!!!” Tanya shrieked while her brother slammed on the breaks narrowly avoiding a man who suddenly appeared right in front of them. “Bro are you alright…d-d-did we hit him?”

“Yeah, I’m alright; stay here I’m gonna check if we hit him and if we did if he’s alive or not. Yous better keep your ass in this car I’m warning you!” He responded cautiously getting out of the car and locking the doors.

Jeez Ty lighten up, will ya?!! “Don’t worry big brother I’m not going anywhere.” Tanya thought to herself and then responded to her brother’s warning. Suddenly Tanya froze as a hand clamped down on her mouth cutting off any screaming she might have done.

Sorry honey but we’re here to collect both of you!! I have the pleasure of collecting you!! Were the thoughts Tanya heard as she felt an arm wrapping around her waist and a hand unbuckling her seatbelt.

You’re not taking me anywhere!! Tanya thought to the stranger as his hand and arm were suddenly engulfed in purple fire! He should have immediately retracted his arm from her waist but alas this wasn’t the case. Meanwhile Tyler is cautiously approaching the front of his viper to see how badly injured the man he hit was.

“H-h-hello sir are you alright…do you need me to call an ambulance?” Tyler asked looking around for any signs of whoever it was that he had hit! Strangely and somewhat unnervingly not only did Tyler not see the body of the person…he didn’t see any damage to the front of his viper or any sign that there was anyone there! What the hell…I was sure that I hit someone!!

“Don’t worry young man; I’m unharmed, as you can see. I do appreciate the concern; however, I’m going to need you to come with me.” A man stated as he materialized from the shadows behind Tyler. Grabbing the boy with a vice-like grip on his right arm and twisting it behind his back…reacting quickly Tyler channeled his photokinetic power through his arm willing spikes of light to appear!! The spikes slammed into & through the would-be kidnapper’s arm; unfortunately, this didn’t have the desired effect of forcing the would-be kidnapper to let go!!

“GET the FUCK offa me!!” Tyler shouted as he turned into his attacker and a blast of light shot forth from his right hand. The light beam pierced through his attacker’s chest and the man released his grip, Tyler tried to back away towards the driver’s side door…he wouldn’t make it very far when he was grabbed again!

“Mmmmhhh impressive boy most impressive!!! A few inches lower and you would have ended me; hhhhhhhmmmmm you’ll make a fine addition to our ranks along with your sweet sister!! Now then why don’t you just surrender now, that will make things so much easier.” The vampire purred as he easily grabbed Tyler by the left arm and wrenched it behind his back. Tyler howled and the vampire wickedly smiled as he lifted Tyler up with ease. He turned and started carrying Tyler towards a black SUV; Tyler struggled and squirmed to no avail…suddenly multiple
