"This is weird..." Parker said to himself, he wanted to think more to this but Tessa called him out ready for the go, he smiled, why not? His cars were already in disguise as they didn't have any plates no them. It was going to be thrilling.
"Let's do this!"
With that, the two revved their engines, the sound bouncing off the buildings around them like a war cry. A few people on the sidewalks stopped to watch, sensing that something big was about to go down.
Parker glanced at Tessa, her determination radiating from her like heat. "On three," he said, gripping the wheel tighter. "One... two..."
Before he could say three, the deep, guttural roar of a different engine filled the air. Parker's eyes darted to the rearview mirror, and his smirk widened into a grin that bordered on wicked.
Behind them, a sleek Bugatti—dark as the void but glinting with a sharp edge of blue under the sunlight—was closing in fast. Its headlights blinked once, almost tauntingly, like it was throwing down a challenge of its own.
"Well, shit," Parker muttered, laughing as the adrenaline kicked in. He slammed his foot on the gas, the Speedtail leaping forward with a feral growl.
"Game on!" he shouted into the call, the sound of Tessa's laughter blending with the scream of their engines as they took off, the Bugatti hot on their tails.
The engines roared like lions set loose, the sound tearing through the air as the countdown finished. Parker's foot slammed the pedal, and the black Speedtail leapt forward, tires screeching against the asphalt. Tessa's green Speedtail shot ahead, her laughter ringing through the video call.
"Keep up, rich boy!" she taunted, her voice buzzing through the speakers.
"Cocky much?" Parker muttered, gritting his teeth as he shifted gears, trying to close the gap.
"Boom, baby!" he yelled, adrenaline pumping through his veins.
But Tessa was still ahead, her green car a streak of neon slicing through the road. "What the hell? How is she so far?" he muttered, frustrated but also kinda impressed.
The Speedtail ate up the road, Parker finally catching glimpses of her tail lights. He pushed harder, his focus razor-sharp.
For a second, they were neck-and-neck, her grinning at him through the window like this was the most fun she'd had in years.
"Ready to eat my dust?" she teased.
"In your dreams, T," he shot back, his own grin spreading.
And then, out of nowhere, the Bugatti.
It didn't just pass them—it flew. A dark blur that screamed pure power, its taillights flickering like a challenge.
"Did you see that?!" Tessa yelled through the speakers, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"Yeah, of course, I fucking saw it," Parker muttered, his grip tightening on the wheel.
The Bugatti didn't slow, didn't hesitate. It disappeared down the road like a ghost, leaving them both stunned.
"What the hell fast of car was that?" Tessa asked, her voice quieter now, almost breathless.
Parker didn't answer. His eyes were locked on the road ahead, the image of the Bugatti burned into his brain. Whoever was behind the wheel wasn't just fast.
Maybe a real racer?
