Shattered Bonds: Secrets and Lies

Chapter 29: Jesko vs Bugatti

Ten minutes was up and they got in line. Both fixing their rearview mirrors at the same time. The crowd commented in excitement.

" Jesko versus Bugatti baby! I don't regret coming here! "

" Ooh! That Bugatti is on fire right there! But damn, that jesko, I can't say who's gonna win."

" Obviously Vick! I never saw that guy before I don't think he can do well enough to beat Vick! "

The brunette girl was so over the moon by Daven. " Guys! Can't you see that that's a jesko! A jesko for goodness sake! The fasters car in the world! I'm in for Daddy!" she turns over the cardboard poster she made for Vick, and wrote, "GO DADDY GO! "

The flag girl stood in front of the two cars, in the middle carrying a black and white flag. She attracted a lot of attention from everyone including Daven and Vick. There was something more about her that Daven liked.

She looked very overwhelming and overbearing with her raven hair, framed piercing green eyes that commanded the track. Her full lips set in determination. Daven couldn't tell what it was that he liked about her, but a strange feeling rose up to him. ' Can it be love at first sight?...eww what am I thinking! '

He ignored the feeling and slowly breathes in and out rolling the window down only to see Vick's evil smile.

" On your marks! Roar dem engines...Go! " She raised the flag with precision, unleashing the roar of engines.

In a flash, off they went with Daven leading. Vick smirked once more, he wasn't in hurry to chase after him. He wanted to see Daven's skills before making his move.

" Oh my Gosh! Look! The jesko is leading! " a guy in the crowd said in a gasp shocking others.

" Woohoo! Go daddy go!" the brunette girl shouted climbing on top of a roof car which wasn't even hers anyway.

Soon all the other coquette girls followed. " Go daddy!"

Lucy couldn't believe it, why is he not going after him?

Vick is the mayor's son, he is a professional racer and has won many races... well we can say that he won by cheating in most of them. He is one of the famous people in Gotham City.

Vick could see that Daven's skills are weaker than he thought. " hehe!" He sarcastically laughs, steadily holding the wheel. "Let's see how you will manage these."

Up ahead was a difficult one as there were many potholes that had to be avoided.

Vick stepped on the accelerator increasing his speed. He was very familiar with these potholes as he has raced here many time and knew how to avoid them.

He caught up with Daven and a sly smile played on his lips thinking Daven was going to have a hard time dodging these potholes. Some were slightly big and wide while others were just a game play. This was all part of the race.

As they reached on the potholes, thinking that Daven was going to slow down shocked everyone. including Vick.

" Is that guy crazy!"

"How does he do that?"

"Ooh! Yay Daddy!"

Instead of slowing down which was really necessary, he increased speed leaving Vick's car behind with dust dodging all the potholes smoothly.

This is how he vented his anger when he is upset in the past, he would drive really fast as if he doesn't care for the outcome if he missed a turn.Vick had no time to recover from his shock, he needed to catch up with him.

He cursed out loudly and increased his speed. If Daven wins, where will he get that kind of money?" I need to win this! " It wasn't that he doesn't have money, it's just that all his accounts have been frozen after being suspected for selling drugs.

Amir quietly watched them with his heart in his throat worried about Daven's safety. Anything could go horribly wrong. While Daven was calm as water, Vick was beginning to panic. He switched the gears and stepped on the accelerator really hard in rage.

When Daven saw Vick coming behind him, he just chuckled and focused on the road climbing a hill. Vick got very close behind him and attempted to push him to the side. Just as he was about to, Daven flashed out of his sight in speed leaving the audience in awe.

"Oooh! That jesko is something else! I feel like I'm dreaming!"

"I never thought I would see that car live in front of my eyes!"

"It's pretty clear that the jesko is the winner!"

" F*ck! This i***t thinks he can take me out just like that? Huh! " Vick angrily stepped on the accelerator to its full extent and went after the jesko.

"Look! Looks like the Bugatti ain't giving up!"

Surprisingly, the jesko started to slow down. This confused the audience and it was an open chance for Vick to lead.

"What!? Has the jesko ran out of fuel!"

"Why is it slowing down!"

"Boo!" The audience were getting upset. Lucy who has been watching scorned.

" Looks like your Daddy over there can't beat my man even if he's driving the fastest car in the world! Hahaha!"

'Why is that boy slowing down? Does he think 3.5 million is a child play? ' Amir was getting out of control with his emotions but tried to manage them.

Vick gracefully went past Daven full of pride of himself. He didn't even care why the jesko suddenly slowed down and continued to drive.

What they didn't know was that Daven's mind went blank and lost focus after hearing a woman or a girl's voice that is familiar. He felt a cold chill down in his spine sweating.

"Are you okay? answer me please! " the voice said twice in a row.

Forgetting that he was in a race and driving, his arms went numb. For moment, it felt like he was dreaming and everything around him felt surreal suddenly, wether it was a cheer or a scream from the crowd woke him up. He realized that he was driving on the edges of the mountain road.

He quickly gets back in the road gasping not knowing what happened. He looked into his rearview ignoring his sweat and found out that Vick was no longer behind him.

"Sh*t!"

He stepped on the accelerator and rushed to Vick who was now far away and has turned on his music. "No one does it better than Vick! " He was so carried away with himself that he began playing around by slowing down and chilling thinking that the jesko won't catch up on him this time.

Moments later, Daven's car flashed behind Vick's which startled Vick. " Shoot! "

He increased the speed almost to its extent but Daven was still onto him. They disappeared from the audience at the back of the mountain which made it difficult for the audience to see what was happening at that moment.

Daven was still behind Vick driving really fast. Vick was panicking seeing that black jesko not far away behind him. Ahead of them, the road was split into two different ways.
