EPISODE 7
*The last thing Tony remembered after he got to Gia's place was he had one drink and passed out. It was 10:00 AM when he woke up. Late for work, he was. Tony sits up and rubs his head.* What happened.... *Nobody answers him. He gets up and walks towards the kitchen. He opens the refrigerator and finds some orange juice. He takes it out of the refrigerator and then finds the cups. He gets a cup and pours himself a glass of orange juice. He takes a swig and sees Gia in the doorway in her underwear.* Good morning Gia. What happened last night and why do I feel like I got hammered?
*Gia smiles and walks into the kitchen.* You had a couple shots of whiskey. Damn, you were hilarious when drunk. *She also gets a cup.* Could you pour me a glass? *She smiles and brushes her hair out of her face.*
*Tony pours her a glass and finishes his own drink.* God, Theresa is probably wondering where I am right now...I was supposed to be there at 10:00 AM. You mind giving me a lift? I shouldn't drive feeling like this.
Gia: Yeah, sure. Let me get dressed first. *She walks to her room and Tony watches her exit. He thinks to himself, "God damn, why is she so hot?". He chuckles and finds his jacket and his sunglasses. He puts the glasses on and then his jacket and then opens the door and it's a nice and cool morning. He breathes in deeply and exhales. He walks out to the driveway and sees a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Blacktop and Gia's 2015 Nissan 370Z. He smiles and puts his hands in his coat pockets.*
*Gia meets him outside with something in her arms.* Tobey wanted me to give this to you. *she hands him a white leather jacket and Tony smiles.*
Tony: Thanks. *He grabs the jacket.* Why would he give me this?
Gia: I don't know. But we should get going. We'll take my boyfriend's Super Snake. *She opens the garage, revealing a black 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake with black wheels and white stripes. Gia watches Tony walk around the Super Snake.* I don't like American cars but if I did, this would be my favorite. It has-
*Tony interrupts.* 850 Horsepower, making 800 at the wheels. A shit ton of power for a Supercharged V8, more power than Theresa's Hellcat at stock. *He smiles. Should you move your Nissan 370Z out of the way?
Gia: Yeah, I'll get to that. *She gets into the driver's seat and backs her car onto her street and parks it infront of the lawn. Gia gets out and walks up to the Super Snake and opens the door. She gets in and starts the Whipple/Shelby Supercharged V8. It rumbles to life and she revs it a couple times.*
*Tony gets in the passenger seat, finding almost the same interior in his Mustang.* What sucks in my Shelby Mustang is that the interior in mine is almost the same in this and in a base GT. The only difference is where you start the car. It's start button in between the top vents in the center. *he points in the general direction of the air vents.*
*About 15 minutes later, the Super Snake pulls up to Marshall Motors of Trenton and Tony gets out with a smile on his face. Theresa meets Tony at bay 3.*
Theresa: Where the hell have you been? *She puts her hands on her hips and looks over Tony's shoulder and at the black Super Snake.* I've been trying to call you for the past couple hours and where did you get that jacket? From her?
Tony: Woah woah woah, slow down Theresa. I know you're pissed but you don't need to be so rude. It's Tobey's jacket. Gia was just holding onto it. Also, last night I was pretty hammered so go easy on me.
Theresa: You got hammered on a work night? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Can you drive? *She's still sounding pissed, very pissed.*
Tony: I wouldn't count on me being sober right now. Basically I'm saying no I can't drive right now. *he takes off his aviator sunglasses and hangs them on his shirt. Tony sighs and walks into the shop.* Guys, I'm here.
Finn: Dude, you're late. Where have you been? Out late, drinking?
Tony: I stayed at Gia's place for the night. I did get hammered though. So what's the plan?
Finn: You meet Tobey at your old shop, as planned. After that, we'll get you on the road. *he claps his hands.* Alright since your car is currently a cop magnet, let's have you take your girlfriend's Hellcat to the old shop of yours. *he smiles and then leaves the lobby, leaving Tony in the lobby.*
*Tony walks out of the lobby and into the shop section. He puts his sunglasses on and smirks. Tony makes it across the shop, to Beauty. He opens the door and sits in the driver's seat. Tony turns the radio on right when Alex gets into the passenger seat.*
Alex: Hey, how's it goin?
Tony: It's going fine. Sorry I didn't come back last night. It was late and I left my car here, so I stayed at Gia Moran's place.
Alex: Gia Moran? She seems familiar...She work at the shop?
Tony: I don't know. I've been back only a day and I'm gonna hit the road soon. *he yawns and puts his hands behind his head. Less than a week till DeLeon and I can't wait. I'll be the youngest racer with the world's fastest Mustang and I'm gonna win. *He smiles and looks at Alex.* And you're gonna navigate for Theresa. I hope you can do that.
Alex: Sure, I just need to learn to fly a plane.
Tony: Maybe Benny can show you the ropes. *He starts Beauty's supercharged engine and then closes his door.* You might want to get out or close your door because I'm backing this barking bitch out.
*Alex laughs and closes his door.*
*Tony smiles and the cameras turn on and Tony looks back and back Beauty out. Theresa stands right next to the entrance of the bay with her hands on her hips.* Alex, go through the radio and find the rear wheel drive button and turn it on. I want to peel out with this badass car. *He puts Beauty in neutral and let's Alex make the car RWD. Alex succeeds and Tony puts in first gear. He floors it and keeps his foot on the brake pedal. Beauty's back tires spin and the engine roars. Suddenly there is smoke coming from the tires. Theresa, not looking too enthused, walks towards the driver's side window and knocks on the glass. Tony rolls it down and stops burning his tires out.*
Theresa: Are you a fucking idiot? This is only gonna make your situation with the cops even worse. *She puts her hands on her hips and walks away.*
*Tony rolls his window up and looks at Alex* She's really pissed now....C'mon, let's go talk to Tobey.
*The Mustang rolls out onto the street and towards Slash Performance Motors. Suddenly a black unmarked Dodge Charger R/T rolls up behind the Mustang. Tony continues to look ahead and glances at the windshield speedometer, the speedometer reading 80 mph with the speed limit at 30 mph. He looks at the camera mirror display and sees the Charger behind him. The unmarked Charger flashes it's lights, signaling for Tony to pull over.*
Alex: Oh shit, man. We're in trouble now...
*The Mustang stops and Tony waits for the officer to walk over. In the cop car, the officer checks the license plate number and then gets out to verify the driver. He walks over to the Mustang, his name badge saying Raines on it. He has a blonde Mohawk, a black shirt and slacks, blue eyes and an eyebrow piercing. He has his sidearm with him just in case Tony tried to shoot at him. He reaches the Mustang and Tony rolls down the window of his Mustang.*
Officer Raines: Do you know how fast you were going?
Tony: I was going about 79 or something like that.
Officer Raines: Accurately, you were going 81 in a 30 mph zone. For that, I need your license and registration son. And this is one hell of a car. Looks like the one street racing last night with that yellow Aventador and red One-77.
*Tony smiles and grabs his wallet. He feels around for it and smiles again.* One moment officer. Mind if I get out?
Raines: I don't mind.
*Tony gets out and feels his back pockets for his wallet. He grabs it out and pulls his license out. He hands it over to Officer Raines and then grabs the registration for Beauty in the glove box of the Mustang. Tony hands the registration over to the officer and then gets back into Beauty.*
Raines: Thanks. *He walks back his Charger and runs everything through. About five minutes later, Raines comes back and hands over the license and registration. He pulls out a citation pad and writes $200 on the ticket. He hands the ticket over to Tony.* Mr. Slash, I'm sorry about your pops. Also, great job in that race last night. I heard you gave James Sandler, the Ultimate Enforcer, a hard time. I'm Eric Raines and good luck in DeLeon, Officer Sandler is definitely gonna try and stop you. *Raines leaves and then Tony's Mustang leaves at the speed limit.*
*At Slash Performance Motors, Tobey waits patiently for Tony to arrive. About five minutes later, Tony's Mustang pulls up and parks next to Tobey's Ford Mustang GT. Tony gets out wearing his aviator sunglasses and red jacket. He walks over to Tobey with a smirk on his face. Alex gets out of the passenger seat of the Mustang and waits for Tony and Tobey to finish up their meeting.*
Tobey: You're an hour late, Slash. Where have you been?
Tony: Sorry Tobey, I woke up late. Had a very late night and woke up with a hangover. So, why'd you bring me here?
Tobey: Nice racing last night. A few adjustments to your driving style and you'll be a champion in no time.
Tony: Thanks. I tried.
Tobey: Letting Gia fall into those cops' trap was perfect but you should've gone off road and make it back onto the road, keeping up with the girl. Also, I got you a car to take across the United States.
Tony: What'd you get me?
Tobey: I got you a 2015 Camaro SS 1LE in bright yellow. I thought it'd be nice for you to drive to San Francisco instead of risking getting your Mustang taken down by the police. I'm giving you a 15,000 dollars to spend on food and gas and that's all. You're gonna have to sleep in the Camaro if you can.
Tony: OK, cool. I would've settled for a Dodge Challenger or Charger in the R/T trim package. So where's the car?
*Tobey signals Alex to retrieve the Camaro from the shop.* It's coming, don't worry. Help me with the garage. *He walks over to the garage door and starts opening it. Tony grabs a plank and leans it under the door to keep the garage door open. Suddenly, LED lights turn on and a bright yellow Camaro pulls out of the garage.*
*Alex gets out of the Camaro and smiles as he pops the hood.* I want to see if we could have a friend of ours drive Big Red towards San Francisco while Tony and Theresa haul ass across the states. Knowing Theresa's attitude today, I don't think she could deal with Tony for even two hours before she's had it with him. Maybe Gia could ride with Tony? Maybe.
Tobey: Let me call Gia and see if she wants to be a right seater for Tony on this trip. *he pulls out his cellphone and finds Gia's contact and then calls. The blonde picks up her phone almost instantly.* Hey Gia, I have a question.
*Gia over the phone* What's your question?
Tobey: I was wondering if you'd like to ride with Tony. Theresa's pissed off and I don't think she could stand an hour or two in the car with Tony.
Gia: Sure, I'll ride with him. When should I be there?
Tobey: Be here at 11:00 so I can send you off or I could have Tony pick you up.
Gia: Send Tony to pick me up. That gives me some time to pack a bag of clothes for the road trip. See ya then. *She hangs up.*
*Tobey looks at his phone and then puts it in his pocket. Alex is done checking the engine and suspension and gives Tobey a thumbs up. Tobey looks over at Alex and then glances at Tony* Tony, you might want to head out. Here's the cash. *he grabs a wallet out of his pocket and hands it to Tony.* Here's your money and here are the keys. *Tobey tosses the keys to the boy.* Be careful out there.
Tony: I will. See ya in San Francisco. *He waves and gets into the driver's seat of the Camaro. He closes the door and starts up the car's V8. The Camaro heads out onto the street and activates it's turn signal. It heads out onto the street.*
*At Noon, the yellow Camaro pulls up at Gia's place. Tony revs the engine to let Gia know he's there. He gets out and opens the trunk. Inside was a black duffel bag with his clothes inside. He smiles* Alex, you think of everything. Tony looks over and sees Gia coming from her house with a yellow duffel bag on her shoulder.*
*She mumbles.* Why do we have to ride in a piece of shit American Muscle car with an ugly as hell paint job? *She sighs and looks at Tony with an expression that was unreadable. She puts her bag in the trunk of the Camaro and then gets into the passenger seat.* You got a manual for this piece of shit?
Tony: Yes I do, actually. It's pretty decent. Needs a few changes but it works for the performance setup of this car.
*Gia sighs and buckles up.* Next time, we're taking my GT-R.
*Tony closes the trunk and gets into the Camaro.* Depends on if there's a next time. *He looks in the rear view mirror and spots a Go Mango Orange Dodge Challenger pull up. It has dual carbon stripes with a Hellcat hood.* That's great, just great.... *He sighs as he starts the Camaro's V8 up.*
Gia: Girlfriend?
Tony: Yeah... *he looks out his left side mirror and watches his girlfriend approach the car.* Here she comes. *He rolls his window down and revs the Camaro's V8, keeping it warm.*
Theresa: What the hell are you doing with this girl, Tony? You were supposed to take me to the airport. We planned it the night you came back instead you're taking a girl that you barely know across the United States. I'm through with you Tony Slash!! *She storms back to her Challenger and rams Tony's Camaro. The Challenger speeds off with Theresa flipping him off. The song Robot Boy by Linkin Park plays in the background as the Challenger drives off.*
Gia: She ever like this?
Tony: No, not really...She's been like that since I went to the shop this morning. I think she's just jealous..
Gia: Probably. C'mon, let's get going. But you might want to inform Tobey about what just happened and he's not gonna be very happy. *she touches the touch screen in the car and calls Tobey.*
Tobey: Hello, this is Tobey Marshall. What's going on?
Tony: Tobey, my girlfriend just smashed the Camaro. Bro, I don't know how bad the damage is.
Tobey: I'm on my way right now. Just stay put, I'll have the Beast arrive with parts.
*A few minutes later, the Beast rolls up and Joe and Finn hop out. They inspect the damage and then Joe walks over to the car. He signals for Tony to roll his window down. Tony rolls it down.*
Joe: Hey man, we got some bad news. The back end won't be replaced anytime soon. You're gonna have to take one of Gia or Jake's cars. We'd like for you to drive your car of preference, Tony.
Tony: I'll open the trunk and get my stuff. Gia, will your boyfriend mind if we borrow his Super Snake for a while?
Gia: He won't mind, not like he drives it. *She smiles and brushes her hair out of her face. She gets out of the Camaro and opens the trunk but it doesn't budge.* Shit. Tony, the trunk won't open. Do you think you can fold the seats down so we can get our stuff?
Joe: I got it. *Joe grabs his trusty crowbar and pries open the trunk.* There you go. You better get on the road to San Francisco. *He pats Tony on the back and then walks back to his truck. Finn gets into the truck. Later, the Beast drives off.*
*Tony and Gia throw their stuff into the trunk of the GT500 Super Snake. A moment later, the GT500 backs out of the driveway and heads out of town. On the way out of town, they pass Joe's F-450 custom with Beauty on a trailer and under a cover. Tony rolls the window down and pumps his fist in the air.*
*Gia looks at Tony with disgust.* Is that necessary, Slash? Just drive please. *She looks out her window.* We have less than a week to get to California so what's the plan? *Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin plays in the background.*
Tony: I don't know what the plan is. *Tony smiles and passes cars. He drifts onto a ramp and speeds onto the interstate. Tony listens to the police scanners, he hears about the Shelby being wanted for illegal street racing. A black 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 with police lights sits in between a divider. The police car sees the black GT500 and enters pursuit.* God dammit, gotta get these guys off my ass!! Gia, find me a route to get away from this ass wipe.
Gia: On it. Just keep the car steady. *Gia reaches inside her coat pocket and grabs her yellow Iphone 5C and opens the navigation app.* Tony, it doesn't look like there are any routes to get away from him so you're just gonna have to drive like hell. *Her body being slammed around by Tony's tough driving style.* Just be careful. Maybe we'll switch rides soon. I know a guy named Thomas Oliver who owns a black and yellow 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake. We might need to borrow that car.
Tony: Gotcha.. *He passes cars at 170 mph, the speed increasing. The police GT500 is still on Tony's ass.* Alright, let's throw in some tricky driving. *The Shelby's V8 roars with the supercharger whining. Tony downshifts and goes from the far left lane and into an exit. The Shelby goes into a drift, going right. The police GT500 is trying to keep up with the black Super Snake.* C'mon, let's get away from this guy... *He looks in the rear view mirror and sees the cop slowing down. He smiles and escapes the cop.*
Gia: Tony, damn that was a close one. Let's try not to attract more attention to ourselves as there is.
*The Super Snake passes a grey SUV and a red sedan, it's supercharged V8 roaring. The Shelby hits a corner and it stays in it's lane. The corner curves to the left, the Mustang liking the corner. The tires grip to the road but the back end slides out a little bit. The low fuel signal flashes, telling Tony that the car is low on fuel.*
Tony: Gia, find me a gas station please. *He presses the gas peddle all the way to the ground and the Shelby accelerates, the computer warns Tony about low fuel. Gia pulls her phone out and is tossed around a bit.* God, you can't run out of gas in these things. We got about 15 miles left in the tank. Should've filled up while we were in town.
Gia: Hey, we're in luck. There's a gas station a couple miles from here. *She shuts her phone screen off and sits it in a cup holder.*
*A little bit later, Tony and Gia finally stop for gas. Tony gets out of the car and walks over to the pump. A grey police cruiser rolls by but doesn't see the black Super Snake. The officer gets out of the car and walks inside the station, the officer looking familiar.*
*Tony opens his door and looks at Gia.* Gia, it's Eric. He pulled me over yesterday for speeding...I hope he doesn't notice the Shelby.
Gia: I hope so too.
*Tony closes the door and pumps gas into the Shelby's tank. He pulls his phone out and calls The Beast.* Hey Beast, I've stopped to fuel. In a hundred more miles, we have to have to go bingo and hot fuel.
Joe: I read you. What's your code name?
Tony: Let's go by Snake.
Joe: Snake, I like it. Come in contact soon. Beast out.
*Tony sticks his phone in his pocket and whistles while pumping gas. He looks over at the entrance and sees Raines walk out of the station. He glares at Tony and then gets into his cruiser and drives off.* Man, Eric isn't too happy about me being out here...I should get back out on the road. *He opens his door after pumping gas. He gets inside the car and starts it up. The Shelby drives out of the gas station and back out on the county road.*
*In Eric's police cruiser, the man checks his computer for Snake Way. He smiles and grabs his radio.* This is Adam four-niner requesting check on license plate Adam Charlie David 149.
Dispatch: Owner of the car is Jake Holling, year 2014, Make is Ford Shelby, model is Mustang GT500 in black. Why are you asking?
Eric: I believe this car has been hijacked by Anthony Edward Slash, wanted for breaking parole.
Dispatch: We'll send an undercover unit to intercept this GT500 Super Snake. Do not intercept, I repeat, do not intercept.
Eric: Roger that dispatch. *He drives down the highway, being passed by the 2014 Shelby GT500. Raines smiles at the Snake.* Dispatch, I spot the Shelby. Where is that backup?
Dispatch: Backup is on it's way, do not engage the suspect. I repeat, do not engage the suspect. Officer Sandler is on his way right now.
*Sandler's Shelby GT500 Super Snake passes Eric's police Cruiser.* Officer Sandler on scene, in pursuit of modified Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang.
*Tony glances in his rear-view mirror and sees the blue Super Snake with it's police lights on.* Shit, why do I always attract attention?
Gia: Maybe if you drove properly then you wouldn't attract this much attention. *She becomes serious and looks out the right window.* You're clear to move to the right.
*The Mustang moves into a right lane and goes faster. The police Shelby moves with the black Super Snake, it bumps Tony's tail end.*
*Tony's Shelby maintains it's speed while getting a little bit of damage. Tony shifts up and activates the nitrous.* C'mon Snake.
*On the other side of the road, a black 2015 Ford Mustang passes by. Both drivers look at each other and then focus back on their roads. Tony smiles and shifts again, this time a 2012 Camaro ZL1 Police edition arrives on scene. His smile goes away and he tries to escape the cops.*
*An exit appears and Tony exits the highway and towards a small town. The cops try to follow him but they start to fail as the Shelby hits it's top speed of 200 mph.*
*Tony smiles and slows down.* We should find a hotel and rest for a little bit.
Gia: I agree. *She yawns and falls asleep in the Shelby's recaro seats.*
*About six hours later, the black GT500 pulls into a hotel and parks next to the Beast. Tony gets out with Gia getting out the other side. They get their bags and head inside the hotel.*
*They enter their room and jump onto their respective beds. Tony sighs and laughs a bit.* Damn, this is a badass trip. Too bad we can't enjoy going to places.
Gia: I agree. *She smiles and looks at Tony. She becomes serious.* I'm sorry for what happened to your brother, Andrew.
*Tony's pupils become super huge as flashback occurs and it's back to the race between Tony and Gene at the moment where Gene purposely rams Drew's Corvette Stingray. Tony runs towards the wrecked Corvette with it caught on fire. He pulls Drew out of the car and lays him inside the Koenigsegg Agera RS and waits for the cops. In his flashback, he hears finger snaps. Tony snaps out of his trance and sits upright instantly. He breaths heavily while Gia gives him a weird look.*
Gia: You ok? *She sounds concerned.* I'm sorry I brought that subject up..I am truly sorry.
Tony: I'm fine, just a flashback. I-I'll be fine. *He pauses and then continues speaking.* I-It's fine. I just want payback on Gene for what he did. I don't know if my brother is alive...I'll be back in a moment. *He gets off the bed and heads towards Finn and Joe's room. He knocks on the door.* Hey it's Tony, may I come in?
*Joe's voice comes faintly from behind the door.* Yeah, come in. *The door opens and Joe invites Tony in. Joe has a toothpick in his mouth. He signals for Tony to take a seat.* Take a seat, I was just about to get you.
*Tony takes a seat on a chair.* Before you say anything, I have an idea to bring forth. I think we should leave tomorrow before dawn., that means we should get to bed soon. *He yawns and then looks at Joe and Finn.
Finn: I think it's a pretty good idea, so we need to talk about what happened earlier today. How many cops did you run into?
Tony: A Ford Shelby GT500 and a Shelby GT500 Super Snake. I also ran into a 2012 Camaro ZL1. I think the super snake driver was the same driver from that race with Gia and Troy.
Finn: Did you find anything similar about the driving style?
Tony: Between the Koenigsegg and the Super Snake, both driving styles were pretty similar but it kinda varies between the cars.
Finn: Funny how you picked that out while you were driving. Now about that local cop who pulled you over today. What's his name and we can search up some info on that cop.
Tony: Eric Raines, that's his name.
Finn: Local or highway?
Tony: I think he was Highway. I spotted him earlier today at a gas station. He didn't seem to notice the Shelby I was driving.
Finn: Hm...Let's try to get by undetected. I'll have Joe install a jammer into the Shelby later. You can back to your room now.
*Tony nods and exits the room. He walks towards his room and uses the card key, he keeps trying to unlock the door but it's not working. He sighs and knocks on the door. Nobody answers.* C'mon Gia...Answer the door... *He turns and walks out of the hotel and out to the Shelby, he feels the keys in his pocket. Tony takes them out and unlocks the Super Snake. He opens the door and gets in. He spots Gia approaching the Shelby with a smile on her face. The song "Seal The Deal" by Volbeat plays in the interior of the Shelby.*
*Gia opens the passenger door and smiles at Tony.* Hey, whatcha doing?
Tony: Just chilling and rockin' out. I wish I had my guitar...Maybe Alex put it in the Beast along with the amp.
Gia: He might've. You never know. Listen, I know you like me and all. I just wanted to say that I think I'm gonna break up with Jake. He's changed since I've met him, the nice and comforting guy to being a dick and cheating on me. He's said that he's sorry multiple times but I know he is still cheating on me. I know this because I search his phone when he's sleeping. I really want to get with you Tony, I do. Dating you would be fun.
Tony: I don't think you'd want to date me. *He smiles and kisses Gia on the cheek.* You look beautiful. I don't think I told you that.
*Gia blushes and brushes her hair out of her face.* Awe...Thank you Tony!
*The two hug for a few minutes. The episode ends with Tony and Gia and Tony walking into the hotel.*
*Gia smiles and walks into the kitchen.* You had a couple shots of whiskey. Damn, you were hilarious when drunk. *She also gets a cup.* Could you pour me a glass? *She smiles and brushes her hair out of her face.*
*Tony pours her a glass and finishes his own drink.* God, Theresa is probably wondering where I am right now...I was supposed to be there at 10:00 AM. You mind giving me a lift? I shouldn't drive feeling like this.
Gia: Yeah, sure. Let me get dressed first. *She walks to her room and Tony watches her exit. He thinks to himself, "God damn, why is she so hot?". He chuckles and finds his jacket and his sunglasses. He puts the glasses on and then his jacket and then opens the door and it's a nice and cool morning. He breathes in deeply and exhales. He walks out to the driveway and sees a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Blacktop and Gia's 2015 Nissan 370Z. He smiles and puts his hands in his coat pockets.*
*Gia meets him outside with something in her arms.* Tobey wanted me to give this to you. *she hands him a white leather jacket and Tony smiles.*
Tony: Thanks. *He grabs the jacket.* Why would he give me this?
Gia: I don't know. But we should get going. We'll take my boyfriend's Super Snake. *She opens the garage, revealing a black 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake with black wheels and white stripes. Gia watches Tony walk around the Super Snake.* I don't like American cars but if I did, this would be my favorite. It has-
*Tony interrupts.* 850 Horsepower, making 800 at the wheels. A shit ton of power for a Supercharged V8, more power than Theresa's Hellcat at stock. *He smiles. Should you move your Nissan 370Z out of the way?
Gia: Yeah, I'll get to that. *She gets into the driver's seat and backs her car onto her street and parks it infront of the lawn. Gia gets out and walks up to the Super Snake and opens the door. She gets in and starts the Whipple/Shelby Supercharged V8. It rumbles to life and she revs it a couple times.*
*Tony gets in the passenger seat, finding almost the same interior in his Mustang.* What sucks in my Shelby Mustang is that the interior in mine is almost the same in this and in a base GT. The only difference is where you start the car. It's start button in between the top vents in the center. *he points in the general direction of the air vents.*
*About 15 minutes later, the Super Snake pulls up to Marshall Motors of Trenton and Tony gets out with a smile on his face. Theresa meets Tony at bay 3.*
Theresa: Where the hell have you been? *She puts her hands on her hips and looks over Tony's shoulder and at the black Super Snake.* I've been trying to call you for the past couple hours and where did you get that jacket? From her?
Tony: Woah woah woah, slow down Theresa. I know you're pissed but you don't need to be so rude. It's Tobey's jacket. Gia was just holding onto it. Also, last night I was pretty hammered so go easy on me.
Theresa: You got hammered on a work night? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Can you drive? *She's still sounding pissed, very pissed.*
Tony: I wouldn't count on me being sober right now. Basically I'm saying no I can't drive right now. *he takes off his aviator sunglasses and hangs them on his shirt. Tony sighs and walks into the shop.* Guys, I'm here.
Finn: Dude, you're late. Where have you been? Out late, drinking?
Tony: I stayed at Gia's place for the night. I did get hammered though. So what's the plan?
Finn: You meet Tobey at your old shop, as planned. After that, we'll get you on the road. *he claps his hands.* Alright since your car is currently a cop magnet, let's have you take your girlfriend's Hellcat to the old shop of yours. *he smiles and then leaves the lobby, leaving Tony in the lobby.*
*Tony walks out of the lobby and into the shop section. He puts his sunglasses on and smirks. Tony makes it across the shop, to Beauty. He opens the door and sits in the driver's seat. Tony turns the radio on right when Alex gets into the passenger seat.*
Alex: Hey, how's it goin?
Tony: It's going fine. Sorry I didn't come back last night. It was late and I left my car here, so I stayed at Gia Moran's place.
Alex: Gia Moran? She seems familiar...She work at the shop?
Tony: I don't know. I've been back only a day and I'm gonna hit the road soon. *he yawns and puts his hands behind his head. Less than a week till DeLeon and I can't wait. I'll be the youngest racer with the world's fastest Mustang and I'm gonna win. *He smiles and looks at Alex.* And you're gonna navigate for Theresa. I hope you can do that.
Alex: Sure, I just need to learn to fly a plane.
Tony: Maybe Benny can show you the ropes. *He starts Beauty's supercharged engine and then closes his door.* You might want to get out or close your door because I'm backing this barking bitch out.
*Alex laughs and closes his door.*
*Tony smiles and the cameras turn on and Tony looks back and back Beauty out. Theresa stands right next to the entrance of the bay with her hands on her hips.* Alex, go through the radio and find the rear wheel drive button and turn it on. I want to peel out with this badass car. *He puts Beauty in neutral and let's Alex make the car RWD. Alex succeeds and Tony puts in first gear. He floors it and keeps his foot on the brake pedal. Beauty's back tires spin and the engine roars. Suddenly there is smoke coming from the tires. Theresa, not looking too enthused, walks towards the driver's side window and knocks on the glass. Tony rolls it down and stops burning his tires out.*
Theresa: Are you a fucking idiot? This is only gonna make your situation with the cops even worse. *She puts her hands on her hips and walks away.*
*Tony rolls his window up and looks at Alex* She's really pissed now....C'mon, let's go talk to Tobey.
*The Mustang rolls out onto the street and towards Slash Performance Motors. Suddenly a black unmarked Dodge Charger R/T rolls up behind the Mustang. Tony continues to look ahead and glances at the windshield speedometer, the speedometer reading 80 mph with the speed limit at 30 mph. He looks at the camera mirror display and sees the Charger behind him. The unmarked Charger flashes it's lights, signaling for Tony to pull over.*
Alex: Oh shit, man. We're in trouble now...
*The Mustang stops and Tony waits for the officer to walk over. In the cop car, the officer checks the license plate number and then gets out to verify the driver. He walks over to the Mustang, his name badge saying Raines on it. He has a blonde Mohawk, a black shirt and slacks, blue eyes and an eyebrow piercing. He has his sidearm with him just in case Tony tried to shoot at him. He reaches the Mustang and Tony rolls down the window of his Mustang.*
Officer Raines: Do you know how fast you were going?
Tony: I was going about 79 or something like that.
Officer Raines: Accurately, you were going 81 in a 30 mph zone. For that, I need your license and registration son. And this is one hell of a car. Looks like the one street racing last night with that yellow Aventador and red One-77.
*Tony smiles and grabs his wallet. He feels around for it and smiles again.* One moment officer. Mind if I get out?
Raines: I don't mind.
*Tony gets out and feels his back pockets for his wallet. He grabs it out and pulls his license out. He hands it over to Officer Raines and then grabs the registration for Beauty in the glove box of the Mustang. Tony hands the registration over to the officer and then gets back into Beauty.*
Raines: Thanks. *He walks back his Charger and runs everything through. About five minutes later, Raines comes back and hands over the license and registration. He pulls out a citation pad and writes $200 on the ticket. He hands the ticket over to Tony.* Mr. Slash, I'm sorry about your pops. Also, great job in that race last night. I heard you gave James Sandler, the Ultimate Enforcer, a hard time. I'm Eric Raines and good luck in DeLeon, Officer Sandler is definitely gonna try and stop you. *Raines leaves and then Tony's Mustang leaves at the speed limit.*
*At Slash Performance Motors, Tobey waits patiently for Tony to arrive. About five minutes later, Tony's Mustang pulls up and parks next to Tobey's Ford Mustang GT. Tony gets out wearing his aviator sunglasses and red jacket. He walks over to Tobey with a smirk on his face. Alex gets out of the passenger seat of the Mustang and waits for Tony and Tobey to finish up their meeting.*
Tobey: You're an hour late, Slash. Where have you been?
Tony: Sorry Tobey, I woke up late. Had a very late night and woke up with a hangover. So, why'd you bring me here?
Tobey: Nice racing last night. A few adjustments to your driving style and you'll be a champion in no time.
Tony: Thanks. I tried.
Tobey: Letting Gia fall into those cops' trap was perfect but you should've gone off road and make it back onto the road, keeping up with the girl. Also, I got you a car to take across the United States.
Tony: What'd you get me?
Tobey: I got you a 2015 Camaro SS 1LE in bright yellow. I thought it'd be nice for you to drive to San Francisco instead of risking getting your Mustang taken down by the police. I'm giving you a 15,000 dollars to spend on food and gas and that's all. You're gonna have to sleep in the Camaro if you can.
Tony: OK, cool. I would've settled for a Dodge Challenger or Charger in the R/T trim package. So where's the car?
*Tobey signals Alex to retrieve the Camaro from the shop.* It's coming, don't worry. Help me with the garage. *He walks over to the garage door and starts opening it. Tony grabs a plank and leans it under the door to keep the garage door open. Suddenly, LED lights turn on and a bright yellow Camaro pulls out of the garage.*
*Alex gets out of the Camaro and smiles as he pops the hood.* I want to see if we could have a friend of ours drive Big Red towards San Francisco while Tony and Theresa haul ass across the states. Knowing Theresa's attitude today, I don't think she could deal with Tony for even two hours before she's had it with him. Maybe Gia could ride with Tony? Maybe.
Tobey: Let me call Gia and see if she wants to be a right seater for Tony on this trip. *he pulls out his cellphone and finds Gia's contact and then calls. The blonde picks up her phone almost instantly.* Hey Gia, I have a question.
*Gia over the phone* What's your question?
Tobey: I was wondering if you'd like to ride with Tony. Theresa's pissed off and I don't think she could stand an hour or two in the car with Tony.
Gia: Sure, I'll ride with him. When should I be there?
Tobey: Be here at 11:00 so I can send you off or I could have Tony pick you up.
Gia: Send Tony to pick me up. That gives me some time to pack a bag of clothes for the road trip. See ya then. *She hangs up.*
*Tobey looks at his phone and then puts it in his pocket. Alex is done checking the engine and suspension and gives Tobey a thumbs up. Tobey looks over at Alex and then glances at Tony* Tony, you might want to head out. Here's the cash. *he grabs a wallet out of his pocket and hands it to Tony.* Here's your money and here are the keys. *Tobey tosses the keys to the boy.* Be careful out there.
Tony: I will. See ya in San Francisco. *He waves and gets into the driver's seat of the Camaro. He closes the door and starts up the car's V8. The Camaro heads out onto the street and activates it's turn signal. It heads out onto the street.*
*At Noon, the yellow Camaro pulls up at Gia's place. Tony revs the engine to let Gia know he's there. He gets out and opens the trunk. Inside was a black duffel bag with his clothes inside. He smiles* Alex, you think of everything. Tony looks over and sees Gia coming from her house with a yellow duffel bag on her shoulder.*
*She mumbles.* Why do we have to ride in a piece of shit American Muscle car with an ugly as hell paint job? *She sighs and looks at Tony with an expression that was unreadable. She puts her bag in the trunk of the Camaro and then gets into the passenger seat.* You got a manual for this piece of shit?
Tony: Yes I do, actually. It's pretty decent. Needs a few changes but it works for the performance setup of this car.
*Gia sighs and buckles up.* Next time, we're taking my GT-R.
*Tony closes the trunk and gets into the Camaro.* Depends on if there's a next time. *He looks in the rear view mirror and spots a Go Mango Orange Dodge Challenger pull up. It has dual carbon stripes with a Hellcat hood.* That's great, just great.... *He sighs as he starts the Camaro's V8 up.*
Gia: Girlfriend?
Tony: Yeah... *he looks out his left side mirror and watches his girlfriend approach the car.* Here she comes. *He rolls his window down and revs the Camaro's V8, keeping it warm.*
Theresa: What the hell are you doing with this girl, Tony? You were supposed to take me to the airport. We planned it the night you came back instead you're taking a girl that you barely know across the United States. I'm through with you Tony Slash!! *She storms back to her Challenger and rams Tony's Camaro. The Challenger speeds off with Theresa flipping him off. The song Robot Boy by Linkin Park plays in the background as the Challenger drives off.*
Gia: She ever like this?
Tony: No, not really...She's been like that since I went to the shop this morning. I think she's just jealous..
Gia: Probably. C'mon, let's get going. But you might want to inform Tobey about what just happened and he's not gonna be very happy. *she touches the touch screen in the car and calls Tobey.*
Tobey: Hello, this is Tobey Marshall. What's going on?
Tony: Tobey, my girlfriend just smashed the Camaro. Bro, I don't know how bad the damage is.
Tobey: I'm on my way right now. Just stay put, I'll have the Beast arrive with parts.
*A few minutes later, the Beast rolls up and Joe and Finn hop out. They inspect the damage and then Joe walks over to the car. He signals for Tony to roll his window down. Tony rolls it down.*
Joe: Hey man, we got some bad news. The back end won't be replaced anytime soon. You're gonna have to take one of Gia or Jake's cars. We'd like for you to drive your car of preference, Tony.
Tony: I'll open the trunk and get my stuff. Gia, will your boyfriend mind if we borrow his Super Snake for a while?
Gia: He won't mind, not like he drives it. *She smiles and brushes her hair out of her face. She gets out of the Camaro and opens the trunk but it doesn't budge.* Shit. Tony, the trunk won't open. Do you think you can fold the seats down so we can get our stuff?
Joe: I got it. *Joe grabs his trusty crowbar and pries open the trunk.* There you go. You better get on the road to San Francisco. *He pats Tony on the back and then walks back to his truck. Finn gets into the truck. Later, the Beast drives off.*
*Tony and Gia throw their stuff into the trunk of the GT500 Super Snake. A moment later, the GT500 backs out of the driveway and heads out of town. On the way out of town, they pass Joe's F-450 custom with Beauty on a trailer and under a cover. Tony rolls the window down and pumps his fist in the air.*
*Gia looks at Tony with disgust.* Is that necessary, Slash? Just drive please. *She looks out her window.* We have less than a week to get to California so what's the plan? *Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin plays in the background.*
Tony: I don't know what the plan is. *Tony smiles and passes cars. He drifts onto a ramp and speeds onto the interstate. Tony listens to the police scanners, he hears about the Shelby being wanted for illegal street racing. A black 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 with police lights sits in between a divider. The police car sees the black GT500 and enters pursuit.* God dammit, gotta get these guys off my ass!! Gia, find me a route to get away from this ass wipe.
Gia: On it. Just keep the car steady. *Gia reaches inside her coat pocket and grabs her yellow Iphone 5C and opens the navigation app.* Tony, it doesn't look like there are any routes to get away from him so you're just gonna have to drive like hell. *Her body being slammed around by Tony's tough driving style.* Just be careful. Maybe we'll switch rides soon. I know a guy named Thomas Oliver who owns a black and yellow 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake. We might need to borrow that car.
Tony: Gotcha.. *He passes cars at 170 mph, the speed increasing. The police GT500 is still on Tony's ass.* Alright, let's throw in some tricky driving. *The Shelby's V8 roars with the supercharger whining. Tony downshifts and goes from the far left lane and into an exit. The Shelby goes into a drift, going right. The police GT500 is trying to keep up with the black Super Snake.* C'mon, let's get away from this guy... *He looks in the rear view mirror and sees the cop slowing down. He smiles and escapes the cop.*
Gia: Tony, damn that was a close one. Let's try not to attract more attention to ourselves as there is.
*The Super Snake passes a grey SUV and a red sedan, it's supercharged V8 roaring. The Shelby hits a corner and it stays in it's lane. The corner curves to the left, the Mustang liking the corner. The tires grip to the road but the back end slides out a little bit. The low fuel signal flashes, telling Tony that the car is low on fuel.*
Tony: Gia, find me a gas station please. *He presses the gas peddle all the way to the ground and the Shelby accelerates, the computer warns Tony about low fuel. Gia pulls her phone out and is tossed around a bit.* God, you can't run out of gas in these things. We got about 15 miles left in the tank. Should've filled up while we were in town.
Gia: Hey, we're in luck. There's a gas station a couple miles from here. *She shuts her phone screen off and sits it in a cup holder.*
*A little bit later, Tony and Gia finally stop for gas. Tony gets out of the car and walks over to the pump. A grey police cruiser rolls by but doesn't see the black Super Snake. The officer gets out of the car and walks inside the station, the officer looking familiar.*
*Tony opens his door and looks at Gia.* Gia, it's Eric. He pulled me over yesterday for speeding...I hope he doesn't notice the Shelby.
Gia: I hope so too.
*Tony closes the door and pumps gas into the Shelby's tank. He pulls his phone out and calls The Beast.* Hey Beast, I've stopped to fuel. In a hundred more miles, we have to have to go bingo and hot fuel.
Joe: I read you. What's your code name?
Tony: Let's go by Snake.
Joe: Snake, I like it. Come in contact soon. Beast out.
*Tony sticks his phone in his pocket and whistles while pumping gas. He looks over at the entrance and sees Raines walk out of the station. He glares at Tony and then gets into his cruiser and drives off.* Man, Eric isn't too happy about me being out here...I should get back out on the road. *He opens his door after pumping gas. He gets inside the car and starts it up. The Shelby drives out of the gas station and back out on the county road.*
*In Eric's police cruiser, the man checks his computer for Snake Way. He smiles and grabs his radio.* This is Adam four-niner requesting check on license plate Adam Charlie David 149.
Dispatch: Owner of the car is Jake Holling, year 2014, Make is Ford Shelby, model is Mustang GT500 in black. Why are you asking?
Eric: I believe this car has been hijacked by Anthony Edward Slash, wanted for breaking parole.
Dispatch: We'll send an undercover unit to intercept this GT500 Super Snake. Do not intercept, I repeat, do not intercept.
Eric: Roger that dispatch. *He drives down the highway, being passed by the 2014 Shelby GT500. Raines smiles at the Snake.* Dispatch, I spot the Shelby. Where is that backup?
Dispatch: Backup is on it's way, do not engage the suspect. I repeat, do not engage the suspect. Officer Sandler is on his way right now.
*Sandler's Shelby GT500 Super Snake passes Eric's police Cruiser.* Officer Sandler on scene, in pursuit of modified Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang.
*Tony glances in his rear-view mirror and sees the blue Super Snake with it's police lights on.* Shit, why do I always attract attention?
Gia: Maybe if you drove properly then you wouldn't attract this much attention. *She becomes serious and looks out the right window.* You're clear to move to the right.
*The Mustang moves into a right lane and goes faster. The police Shelby moves with the black Super Snake, it bumps Tony's tail end.*
*Tony's Shelby maintains it's speed while getting a little bit of damage. Tony shifts up and activates the nitrous.* C'mon Snake.
*On the other side of the road, a black 2015 Ford Mustang passes by. Both drivers look at each other and then focus back on their roads. Tony smiles and shifts again, this time a 2012 Camaro ZL1 Police edition arrives on scene. His smile goes away and he tries to escape the cops.*
*An exit appears and Tony exits the highway and towards a small town. The cops try to follow him but they start to fail as the Shelby hits it's top speed of 200 mph.*
*Tony smiles and slows down.* We should find a hotel and rest for a little bit.
Gia: I agree. *She yawns and falls asleep in the Shelby's recaro seats.*
*About six hours later, the black GT500 pulls into a hotel and parks next to the Beast. Tony gets out with Gia getting out the other side. They get their bags and head inside the hotel.*
*They enter their room and jump onto their respective beds. Tony sighs and laughs a bit.* Damn, this is a badass trip. Too bad we can't enjoy going to places.
Gia: I agree. *She smiles and looks at Tony. She becomes serious.* I'm sorry for what happened to your brother, Andrew.
*Tony's pupils become super huge as flashback occurs and it's back to the race between Tony and Gene at the moment where Gene purposely rams Drew's Corvette Stingray. Tony runs towards the wrecked Corvette with it caught on fire. He pulls Drew out of the car and lays him inside the Koenigsegg Agera RS and waits for the cops. In his flashback, he hears finger snaps. Tony snaps out of his trance and sits upright instantly. He breaths heavily while Gia gives him a weird look.*
Gia: You ok? *She sounds concerned.* I'm sorry I brought that subject up..I am truly sorry.
Tony: I'm fine, just a flashback. I-I'll be fine. *He pauses and then continues speaking.* I-It's fine. I just want payback on Gene for what he did. I don't know if my brother is alive...I'll be back in a moment. *He gets off the bed and heads towards Finn and Joe's room. He knocks on the door.* Hey it's Tony, may I come in?
*Joe's voice comes faintly from behind the door.* Yeah, come in. *The door opens and Joe invites Tony in. Joe has a toothpick in his mouth. He signals for Tony to take a seat.* Take a seat, I was just about to get you.
*Tony takes a seat on a chair.* Before you say anything, I have an idea to bring forth. I think we should leave tomorrow before dawn., that means we should get to bed soon. *He yawns and then looks at Joe and Finn.
Finn: I think it's a pretty good idea, so we need to talk about what happened earlier today. How many cops did you run into?
Tony: A Ford Shelby GT500 and a Shelby GT500 Super Snake. I also ran into a 2012 Camaro ZL1. I think the super snake driver was the same driver from that race with Gia and Troy.
Finn: Did you find anything similar about the driving style?
Tony: Between the Koenigsegg and the Super Snake, both driving styles were pretty similar but it kinda varies between the cars.
Finn: Funny how you picked that out while you were driving. Now about that local cop who pulled you over today. What's his name and we can search up some info on that cop.
Tony: Eric Raines, that's his name.
Finn: Local or highway?
Tony: I think he was Highway. I spotted him earlier today at a gas station. He didn't seem to notice the Shelby I was driving.
Finn: Hm...Let's try to get by undetected. I'll have Joe install a jammer into the Shelby later. You can back to your room now.
*Tony nods and exits the room. He walks towards his room and uses the card key, he keeps trying to unlock the door but it's not working. He sighs and knocks on the door. Nobody answers.* C'mon Gia...Answer the door... *He turns and walks out of the hotel and out to the Shelby, he feels the keys in his pocket. Tony takes them out and unlocks the Super Snake. He opens the door and gets in. He spots Gia approaching the Shelby with a smile on her face. The song "Seal The Deal" by Volbeat plays in the interior of the Shelby.*
*Gia opens the passenger door and smiles at Tony.* Hey, whatcha doing?
Tony: Just chilling and rockin' out. I wish I had my guitar...Maybe Alex put it in the Beast along with the amp.
Gia: He might've. You never know. Listen, I know you like me and all. I just wanted to say that I think I'm gonna break up with Jake. He's changed since I've met him, the nice and comforting guy to being a dick and cheating on me. He's said that he's sorry multiple times but I know he is still cheating on me. I know this because I search his phone when he's sleeping. I really want to get with you Tony, I do. Dating you would be fun.
Tony: I don't think you'd want to date me. *He smiles and kisses Gia on the cheek.* You look beautiful. I don't think I told you that.
*Gia blushes and brushes her hair out of her face.* Awe...Thank you Tony!
*The two hug for a few minutes. The episode ends with Tony and Gia and Tony walking into the hotel.*
