>>5747008>>5746997"Not bad driving out there.
Though you looked like you were going to stall a couple of times out there..."
Don Torino was right. This was a close shave even for him.
The Lancer was already a fast car, even better with the adjustments he got the garage. It was an impounded car he was using for undercover operations
but the stick shift was faulty. But this race made "Rico" understand why so many officers out there lost out in a chase.
"Well I couldn't have made it without you. The nitrous was really what allowed me to catch up in the end..."
"How does it feel?"
He thought for a second. Sure it was a bit like doping your car. But the Lancer was built for it now. It was simply part of the systems
and made for a truly fair race between them
"...You know some people would say that 'it's a crutch' or 'you need to be more skilled. But that ain't me amigo.
Sometimes, you got to trust in the skill of flicking the nitrous on the right time. Ain't that right."
"Yes, except there's one thing you got wrong in that statement..."
Don Torino looked harshly, as if he was evaluating him, analyzing him. No way...was his cover blown? Though Don Torino wasn't stranger to meeting
and getting undercovers around him it most if not all of them got caught one way or another. Was this it?
"I'm not your 'amigo'..."
A sweat ran on Rico's temple
"We're Familia." The Don smiled and tossed over the winnings and a letter. "Here" he said "Call that a letter of recommendation to the Central City Circuit."
"Sweet...Although..." Rico to the surprise of Don Torino handed the winnings back to him.
"My handling ain't exactly up to stuff hermano*. So I think I'll be passing by the shop for an upgrade."
"So you know what kind of race your going into huh? Sure. Just pass by the shop and we'll get you hooked up."
They each nodded to each other and after a donut left in the Heat City Night.
