Faye was giddy, she'd just gotten her first pay check through and on top of that her brother had told her she could use the money in his account to find any car she wanted and that it didnt matter if she cleared him out. She knew he had a tidy sum in there, what with the money from the heists and what he had saved up over the years.
She had wanted to go with Jack but he was working, as was Brian and Leon was busy brooding over Chris not that she could blame him, he had really liked her and for her to turn out not to be the person he thought she was, Faye knew how tough that could be. With a sigh she grabbed her bag rummaging around for her brothers keys, he had even left her his Skyline considering her car was wel and truly dead.
Fingers brushed over paper and she raised a brow, it was Walters number, biting her lip she wondered if she should cal him, Brian had checked him out and he seemed like a decent, harmless guy. Plucking up the courage she decided to text him instead.
Hey its Faye from the other night, im in need of a new car, fancy garage hopping for something, need a guys perspective.
Which basically ment she had no idea about cars, depsite the fact her brother was a racer as well as her new family and she wanted something decent that ran.

Kav stepped from the shower drying himself off when his phone beeped. He picked up the Iphone and opened the text. He smiled and shot back his responce.
"Yeah sure give me a minute or two, I remember where your house is." He pressed send and began getting dressed. His appartment was well organized and he pulled on some black jeans and his punishr shirt. He grabbed his brown leather cowboy hat and placed it on along with his sun glasses. He grabbed his mustang's keys and took the stairs quickly before starting the car up. It roared to life and he cruised the path quickly to her house. He revved the engine and waited for her to come out.

Faye hadnt expected him to respond, let alone to actually say he would come along, she half expected to be going alone, but with his repsonse came a smile and she quickly got herself ready, she put on some flates with her skinny jeans knowing heels would be a bad idea, threw on her sunglasses and headed for the door at the sound of the engine reving.
Her brow raised and she let out a low whistle at the site of the Mustang, it really was a beauty, she quickly made her way to the side of the car sliding into the passenger seat.
"Nice"She commented looking over at him.

"American muscle. Plus a real cowboy only rides horses." He smiled as she sat down. "Problem is I have to keep from gunning it, last time I took the rear bumper off...probably will grab some wheelie bars while we are out..." He said as he tossed the quick shifted through the gears tearing up the street and breaking past local cops. Each cop he passed he would click a button by the shifter. Even though it looked as if the cops were clocking him they never gave chase.
"So somone ran a check on me last night," He said without looking from the road. "Probably ran into a bunch of nothing." He smiled. "Don't worry about it, the last couple missing years is because of my job." He slowed down as he came by Racer's Edge. The owner owed him a favor for sending some illegal parts from Dubai. "Here we are." He said and slowly rolled to a stop. "He has a custom kit for a Skyline in the back and a couple SRT complex's, if you don't like either of those we can look elsewhere but this will be cheaper then most other places. Boss man owes me."

Faye smiled, pretending to even understand half of what he was saying, cars to her were about getting from A and B, and because of her brother and now Jack what they looked like as well, she didnt care what went under the hood, or anything else.
At his question she spun around, brow raised, how the hell had he even know that, she smiled sheepishly, biting the inside of her lip, she had Brian check him out of course, smiing she watched him pull up outside Racers Edge.
"Yea my er, well a friend of mine is ex FBI" She shut the door behind her and looked over the top of the car. "Iv had some trouble in the last week, just wanted to be sure i was inviting a axe murdere into my life" She gestured to her head which was thankfully healing, although she stil had the stiches in.
At the mention of cars she simply shrugged, gaze wondering over to the garage, her brother had mentioned this place a couple of times, she ast least thought it was this place. "Yea this was my brothers go to"She stated as she followed him into the garage, eyes wondering around the cars, they were all so pretty and so fast.

"No not a murderer...well not technically. I'm...complicated. I do some dirty work for Uncle Sam and make some decent money from it. The attack on the Navy Carrier last month...we handled the people that orcastrated it." His smile was gone when he discussed his job, "If whoever did that steps up again, let me know. I have more then enough access to finish things for good." He smiled again, "But onto happier topics. Most these care would be about fourty to fifty k a peice...Let's go check out the back."
Kav waved to two of the mechanics as he passed through the garage towards the back door. He was stopped just short as Harry stepped out from his office. "Mace!" He said as he opened his arms up in a wide hug. "How's it going Boss." He said softly and hugged the man. "Who is this lovely lady?" He said letting go and opening his hand out towards her. "Your back a few days and already got a girl friend?" He said smiling.
"No Harry, she's not mine. She chilling with Jack." He said and double checked his pockets and finally pulled out a roll of hundred's. "Actually I'm here for more then just a visit. I need to grab one of the special three in the back...I got cash and I need the car legit." He nodded to Faye, "It's for her." He said smiling widely as Harry's eyes bulged. "I got about two hundred G's here for one of those three, a wheelie bar set for the 'Stang, and double set of NOS. I need the keys today and without hassle."
Harry looked as though he would have a heart attack before he finally nodded. "Go head on back, keys are colored with the car. Two SRT's and a Skyline." He smiled and walked back into the office presumably to get the paper work started.
Kav opened the door and stepped out onto the closed track behind the store, the first SRT was sky blue with a fiber hood the second was a sleeper her could tell. Nothing on the outside of the car could sepperate it from being a stock vehicle. Normal red paint, he tapped on the window and heard the familier clink of a lighter windsheild, probably racing kit installed through out the frame. The skyline was neon green with a snake scale design over it and a racing NOS kit set on the passenger side. He knew which two he'd choose but for her, she'd probably like the stock red.
"Well Faye, your choice." He smiled and swept towards the cars.

Faye watched him with interest as he talked about his job, so he was goverment, made sense on why Brian could only get so much, letting out a silent breath of releif she smiled at his offer. "When we figure out whoes behind it i think you'd have to step in line" She stated, because not only did Jack and Leon have a beeline for the guy behind it but so did Brian for thretening his family.
Following him into the garage she looked around, it was pretty similiar to what Leon had described and she knew for a fact her brother would have been right at home in here, her, it all went over her head, in fact racing just went over her head. She watched as Harry and Walter embraced obvioulsy close friends, at his comment she shook her head, blushing.
"Yea im Leon's sister"She stated looking up at him, knowing that Harry would know she ment there was only one Leon, it had always been him and Dom who were golden. When he started talkign again she tuned out, what ever he was saying Harry got, even if she didnt, she tuned out untill he pulled out the roll of cash.
"I have my own money"SHe stated looking over at him "Enough to get any car in this place" More then enough really, Dom may have been stupid with the highjackings but it brought in a lot of money.
Following him outside towarsd the cars she looked over the three of them, they were all beautfull, she was actually leaning towards the Skyline, she head learned to drive in one, and actually enjoyed the driving but both Brian and Leon had one and she didnt think Jack would be to impressed so she instead turned her gaze towards the other two.
"Ok then for a girl like me which one"SHe stated eyeing the red one, it was a beautiful car that was for sure, simple but gorgous, but then so was the sky blue one, biting her lip she stepped closer.

Kav smiled as he reached back inside and grabbed the keys from the locker, "Take the red one for a spin, the car is called a sleeper. It doesnt look like much so it has a low profile. Keeps cops from choking up on you for the way you look." He walked around the door and popped the hood open.
Immediately the engine jumped out at him, the twin turbo engine was in fact a skyline's set in a new bracket. He whistle and handed the keys to her before shutting the hood. "GO take it out to the track and just test it out to make sure you like it. It will be pretty fast so take it easy on the gas. Don't want you flying into a fence or anything. Be careful...please." He smiled letting the keys drop in her hand.

Faye smiled as she looked at the red one, it was deffiently a good car and low profile, so it fitted in with her job, looking down at the engine she raised a brow, she reconise an engine like that from any where, taking the keys from him she rolled her eyes.
"I learned in my brothers Skyline"She stated as she slid into the drivers seat, she didnt like speed, but she knew how to handle it when she needed to, getting used to the feel of the car she sighed, it had that new car smel. Starting it she revved the engine a couple of times, getting used to the feel.
Ten minuets later after giving the car a good going over and a couple of laps around the track, the first one she spent getting used to it, going slow and steady before actually pressing the car for everything it was worth, she pulled the car back in front of Walter.
"Shes perfect"She stated with a wide smile on her face as she looked over at him "Deffiently this one" Landing her blue gaze onto him she smiled. "But im paying"

"Okay your paying, I'll go get things started with Harry." Walter smiled and walked back inside counting out hundreds as he entered. "Too late sorry already paid." He said peeking back out the door with a large smile on his face. He ducked back in and began discussing the wheelie bars with the owner.
"So the hydrolic pistons have enough preasure to keep your rise to minimum and stable enough not to punch a hole in the fender like last time." Harry said as he produced two large boxes from under the desk. "The two gas cannister's are by your trunk and I got the paperwork already set up for the girl she just needs to sign off her name and I can get the tags transfered from her last car by sunset." He said looked at the wad of cash on the desk in front of him.
"If only DMV worked this fast." Kav laughed loudly at his joke. "She's going to try to come in and pay, don't let her." He added looking out the window at Faye. "Her last car was falling apart yesterday so I thought it would be good to help her out a bit."

Faye rolled her eyes at his comment, so was not happening, while muttering she headed into the store, eyes trained on his back. "Oh yes she is"she stated as she shifted to stand next to Walter, her gaze on Harry.
"I can pay"She stated, her eyes trailed over to Harry "So either he's getting double the car is up for, or your gonna take your money back"she stated as she brought out her own wad of cash, her gaze flicked between Walter and Harry, brow raised as a slow smiled spread across her face.
"I have Leon as a brother, kinda not the woman who backs down, Toretto learned that the hard way"She stated lauging at the memory of sticking up to Dom when no one else was, with a sigh she popped her hip to the side waiting for one of them to back down, hell she didnt mind paying double for the car.
"Oh and Harry, Lee says he needs some more NOS"

Harry's eyes lit up with the prospect of a large payday. "You guy's are really going to give my kids a great christmas yuo know you that?" He said blinking, he'd done deals with Walter in the past and he could tell that Faye would never back down.
"Okay fine, Boss you get one hell of a tip today." He said not moving towards his money. He grabbed the boxes and lifted them up towards his shoulder. "Faye go ahead and wrap this up, I'm going to see what I can do with these bars." He looked at the car then at Harry. "And I'm going to use your lifts for it." Harry shook his head and laughed. "Fine, you just spent a years income in an hour..."
Walter moved towards his mustang and place the NOS in the trunk bolting it down into it's brackets. He got into the car and slowly rolled it onto the lift and raised it to eye level then got to work setting the bars up.

Faye raised a brow shaking her head as she turned towards Harry "Is he always like this"she questioned with a raised brow as she pushed her own money for the car plus that of Leons NOS, towards Harry. Leaning agasint the counter she looked over her shoulder, watching as Walter worked, oh yea she could see him getting along with her family just fine.
She spent the time signing everything she needed to and talking with Harry, who she found she actually liked, and realized why Leon liked this place so much, her keys were in her hands and she smiled her thanks.
"Im sure ill be back, once Brian sees my car, or Lee for that matter there gonna want to turn her into their pet project"

"For as long as I've known him. Once he has his mind on something he is very tenacious. When he first made SEALs he brought that Pony in here practically pushing it." He looked at the man then back to Faye. "He's done one heck of a job on it. Surprised no one's seen him on the track yet." He chuckled a bit. "When you get a chance, tell the Dom I got some parts for him. Proto-type headers and a blower, Walter over there shipped them in about a week before he got back. More then enough for his engine so I want somone to test them before I toss them up on the market." Harry put the cash in the safe and double checked the paperwork before filing it. "Tell your brother I can't want to get him in here again we need more work."
Walter finished testing how stable the bars were then lowered the car back to the ground. He stepped in the driver seat and pulled back slowly moving the car around to the back. He revved the engine and double checked the preasure gauge for the wheelie bars. Without warning he slammed the gas down and adjusted the hydrolics as the nose of the car lifted into the air a few feet, he kept the timing down the second and then slowed to a stop the car came down with a thud but the suspension held as did the shocks. He turned around and headed back pressing the gas hard. The car roared to life as the nose shot towards the sky, his gauge shot up with preassure and he had to adjust the downwards PSI to keep from flipping backwards. He slowed to a stop again the shocks absorbed most of the impact but their was still a loud screach of metal on pavement as the skid plate took the punishing blow before righting itself.
Content with the test he pulled back around front the entire shop crew started at him. "What?" He said with a smirk and stepped out to detach the wheelie bars and place them back into his trunk behind the NOS tanks.

Faye nodded her head as she listened to him speak "When i see Dom ill let him know"she stated, he had gone back into hideing once more and none of them had heard from him or seen him, even Mia didnt know where her brother was and Faye knew she was worrying. With a small smile she listened as he mentioned her brother, with a small nod she bit the inside of her lip, she hoped Leon didnt go of the rails at the sudden turn of events.
"Well ill pass the message onto him, i know he's trying to get back into the scene"She stated leaning agasint the counter. The noise of the car outside draw her attention and she turned to face it, with an impressive smile and turned back to Harry.
"Looks like Dom would have some competition"SHe stated "Or Brian"She said with a shrug, she knew Brian had sort of taken Doms spot of king of the streets around LA, licking her lips she let out a soft sigh as she waited for Walter to return.
Her gaze shifted back over to Harry and she furrowed her brow, she supposed she should get Jack something, considering his car had been compleatly wrecked because of her. "You got anything in for an EVO"She questioned with a raised brow, "Jack's kinda got messed up because of me, thought id give him something back in return"

"Most of my parts are out for EVO's after last week. Racewars is going down this month and people are running out of parts fast cause of the late entries." He shrugged, "Give me a week or two and I'll set what I can get for you. Get me a list of what you want and I'll have it done." He said turning towards his computer and begining work on getting the tags transfered between the cars.
Walter stepped back into the office. "Hey Boss, I'll be in here tomorrow, I'm going to put a push up bar in the back to rotate the wheelies in when I'm not racing...going to have to gut the NOS system parts to make room, pain in the ass."
"Okay L.T. Just try to get in before miday and we'll see what we can do." Harry said without looking up from his screen. "Faye your tag should be good to go come tuesday."

Faye smiled nodding her head as she looked over at Harry, Race Wars she had heard her brother speaking about that before, she actually fancied going herself, if not for anything more to go and see what it was all about and see everything.
"Ok, sounds good, ill have a word with Brian, cus Jack would just refuse"She laughed with a small shrug, Walter came back in and she once again tuned out, when any guy talked about cars it just conffused her beyond anything, give her anything else just not cars.
"Thanks Harry"She stated with a small nodd in his direction, "I leave it here till then, im gonna give Jack hassle for not comeing with me"She laughed, looking over at Walter with sparkling as she looked at him.

"Oh that is just evil lass." Kav said as he waved a short good bye to Harry. "But this should end intertainingly." He chuckled and opened the passenger side door for her and walked around to the driver side. He smiled at her and looked down to his watch that rested on the underside of his wrist. "So, what all you got planned for today?" He asked as he slid the key into his ignition. He was on paid time off right now and had nothing to do until the sun went down.

Faye smiled, nodding her head "Your right it is, but he was the one who fixed my car and didnt tighten things proparly"She stated with a shrug, she blushed as he opened the car door for her and dropped into the passenger side. With a smile she looked over at him, shaking her head she shrugged.
"Well i got the day of today" She stated flicking her blue gaze over to him "So kinda free, Jacks at the garage and Lee's moping"She stated with a small smile and sigh. "I hope you didnt have any plans today"she stated, hopeing that he hadnt cancelled anything to bring her car shopping.

"Nah already went for my run and swim this morning when I got up. Waiting for somone to call but aside from that, I got nothing going on. Need to get anything done? I don't mind being a taxi for the day." He laughed as he looked through his CDs trying to find something to listen to that she might like. He turned past his CD's organized with their cover arts face up. Atreyu, Shinedown, Sick Puppies, and Rise against were the first CDs in the case.
