Diablo snorted softly, "I don't have a boyfriend, so she's all mine and I already know what's wrong with her. I installed one of my prototype motors and she probably just shook loose one of the lines. Grant it, in all of the tests I ran there wasn't supposed to be any problem like this, but that is a given for tests," she said shifting the cold can to her other hand.
She shook her head taking his implication, "I used to race in San Fran, had a business up there too, but stuff happened and I moved down here. I take it you all are racers too, not many guys ask if I do more then just drive her around."

It sure sounded like the girlknew what she was talking about or she had a pretty damn big mouth. !Sorry bout that. There are a lot of posers out there theses days." Brian winked. "Yeah, we do the ocassional race. Haven't done any lately. So you build engines?" He raised his eyebrows.

Angel nodded, "Yeah there are a lot of posers out there these days but they pay good money for the best. Yep had a business in San Fran doing just that," she said reaching into her back pocket where her wallet was, "I still build them but, the business side is kind of spread over my apartment right now."
She wasn't surprised, most guys didn't think that she could hold her own in the races or in the building, but cars were her life.

Brian carefully watched what was in her wallett. For the past 6 months his life had gone pretty strange ways and he was constantly watching his back. A quick look to Mia confirmed that she didn't mind him talking to the stranger. She was rocking Tyler while she was chatting to Faye. His attention was turned back to Diabolo. "What's the name of your buisness? Do I know anybody who's got your engine in his car?" He wondered.

Angel handed him one of her old Business cards, "Obviously not in San Fran anymore, but the rest of the stuff on there is still good. I used to run Diablo Custom Motors, and don't know if you know anyone with one of my motors. There was some good business I got over seas in Japan, they wanted them mainly for drifting so their motors are a bit different then the ones I make here for the drag racing. There are a few kids out there running Diablo tags, everyone with my motor has a set of bat wings on their car somewhere. My version of tagging them as mine," she explained shrugging.

Brian thought about that for a moment. he was sure he'd seen those wings but on whose car. "I can't put my finger on it but I'm sure I've seen them on a car out in the desert. I think it was a winner: white Honda or something." He got a bit lost in thoughts. "It'll come to me."
He nodded over at Jack. "Do you remember who had the wings on thier car at Racewars last August?"
With a smile he added. "You got me real curious now. Let's pop your hood."

Angel nodded, "Alright, I'll let you take a look under my hood," she said grinning at Jack, "If you want you can come to. Sadly my car isn't going anywhere until I pull her apart to fix her engine again."
She motioned the two to follow her as she walked back down to her car sitting there where it had broken down on the street. Angel had pulled it off to the shoulder and made sure that there was no easy way to accidently hit her baby. Not to mention there would be hell to pay if any one did hit her car.

Mia shifted her gaze back over to the new comer and Brian, as well as Jack, she licked her lips smileing as she looked at the intense look in the eyes, cars, typical, she laughed, turning back towards Faye who was shooting worried glances in the direction of Jack, with a small sigh she shook her head.
"Come on lets go man the grill, before the boys let everything go to hell while there car oggling" She chuckled softly, trying to pull Faye from her worires, which seemed to work.With a smile she offered Tyler to the other woman and with only a moments hesitation sh took Tyler, easily fitting him into her grasp, rocking him gently agasint her chest.

Jack only shrugged at Brian's question, indicating he had no clue who had the wings on their car. He didn't tend to pay much attention to details like that anyway, especially if he didn't even know that he should have in the first place.
Glancing at the car again, he nodded at the invite to take a look under the hood. Even if it turned out the girl was bragging after all, it wasn't an offer he was going to decline. An engine was still an engine, right? And one that needed fixing was always more interesting than watching the grill. Why did he quit his job at the garage again?
"If you want any help or whatever, I got tools in the garage and could move the Evo to make room..." He mumbled, shoving his hands in his pockets as he followed Diablo and his brother toward the broken down Eclipse.

"Help would be awesome," Angel said smiling at the other male that was walking with her to her broken down car, "Hopefully my car will cooperate and all of this will be fixed in no time so you guys can get back to your party. Realizing that you guys are fine with all this, it's just that I still feel as if I am intruding."
Angel unlocked her driver's side door and bent down slightly pulling the hood release before she straightened once more and closed the door. Moving around her car she touched the hood lightly before she pulled the hidden latch and pulled the hood the rest of the way up. The engine was still warm, which wasn't surprising since it hadn't been that long since she had broken down.
"Well there you go boys," Angel said looking at them, "One of my new prototype engines, she burns half the gas then the stock motor."

Brian wrinkled his brow when he poked his head under the hood. He had definetly never seen one of Diablo's homemade concoctions before. "Safe gas, huh? What about the output-do you have twice as much power, too?" he smirked. he was an performance kinda guy even though he cared for the environment. "I seperate plastic and paper but I don't care how much gas my car needs." He ran a hand over his chin and waited for the engine to cool off. "How come a girl like you builds engines? Anchient family tradition?"

Angel laughed softly, "Yeah she runs 10 seconds top speed, my first I tweeked to run 8 and a half. Sadly my dad lent my keys to his girlfriend and she wreaked it. The only reason I need the saving gas thing is so I can keep working and improving engines."
She couldn't help it, engines were her life, Angel shrugged, "Nope no ancient family tradition... they just... as weird as it sounds, they speak to me. It's one of those things that you do because your happy doing what you do no matter what else comes your way. So I do what I have to, to keep me building these babies," she said patting the side of her car.

Jack let out a low whistle while checking out the engine. Nowadays it took a lot more to draw that reaction out of him than it did before he'd moved to LA, but he had to admit it was obvious the piece of machinery was built with a good amount of knowledge.
"Well, you got my vote. I'm impressed." He smiled, finally peeling his eyes away from the engine to look at it's owner. "But my take on things is people work better on full stomachs and seeing as how the food smells about ready, how about you join us? Maybe reveal a secret or two about your engines while you're at it.." He shrugged at his own offer. His stomach was grumbling and it seemed the car wasn't going anywhere without help anyway.

Angel laughed softly, "Alright that's sounds cool. I appreciate everything you guys are doing to help me out here," she said it with the soft duck of her head as she grinned, "And I don't know about those engine secrets," she said shrugging to show she wasn't trying to be uptight about her work, "I had to figure them out by working with an engine block."
She let her hand hover over the motor, not surprised that it was still giving off enough heat to be noticed in the naturally warm environment around them, "Not shockingly my engine is still a little warm for my tastes to be working with right now, so other then stand around and chitter chatter there is nothing I can do."

Faye turned away from Mia and headed towards the guy and the new girl, "Hey you guys bout done the foods ready" She stated her eyes shifting over to the stranger, she offered her a smile, her eyes twinkling. "Faye" She stated, but didnt bother offering the woman her hand, instead her gaze shifted over towards Jack with a soft smile.
"You guys wanting anything to drink" This time her eyes turned towrds the stranger, letting her know she was talking to her more then any one else.

Jack raised a hand, indicating he wasn't going to ask any further about her handy work. If she'd let him stick his head under the hood long enough, he'd be able to figure some out by himself anyway. 'Do and learn' was what he was good at, that was, when the subject held his interest. "Fair enough. No engine secrets."
He turned his attention away from the car and it's owner hearing the feminine voice behind them and he was soon sliding an arm around his, luckily still, fiancee's waist when he moved toward Faye.
"Yeah, we're done so let's eat, huh?" He smiled, leaving out the part that there'd be some work to be done after the BBQ. He wasn't entirely sure if she'd appreciate Angel staying a little while longer with the looks she had been giving the girl, or the worried ones she had given him for that matter.
"You ok?" He mumbled when he lent in to place a small kiss on her lips, his voice soft enough for only her to hear.

Angel smiled lowering her head as her shoulders shook slightly with a silent laugh, the boy was pretty tethered to the woman who had introduced herself as Faye. Glancing up once more she held up the coke she was still nursing.
"Thanks for the offer Faye, but I got one," she said walking within respectable talking distance, "It's nice to meet you I'm Diablo," Angel said waving slightly to the girl.

Faye smiled over at Diablo and smiled in her direction. "Nice to meet you" She stated with a smile in her direction just as Jack pressed his lips agasint hers, with a soft sigh, she rsted her forehead agasint his forehead. "im fine" SHe whispered softly, running a hand through his hair her words only loud enough for him to hear. With a smile she dropped her hand linking their hands together, his fingers brushing over her ring.
"When are we telling them" She questioned with a raised brow as she turned towards him, with a raised brow.

Whether he was looking whipped as hell or not, Jack for once could care less after recent events. His fingers touched the ring on Faye's finger subconsciously when she took his hand, almost as if to make sure it was still there. It was still unbelievable that a jackass like him, no pun intended, could bag and even keep a girl like her. But with that said, it didn't mean a part of his old self wasn't still slightly nervous. Taking the big step and fully committing was something he never thought he'd be wanting or doing.
"Soon. Probably during the BBQ or after." He gave her a smile, leading her away from the car and back to the backyard, the smell of food already wafting their way.

Brian had kept his distance but still over heard their conversation. It was obvious that something was going on and the two of the sure had him holding his breath. It wasn't always good what they had in store for them. He followed thme back to the BBQ and wrapped his arms around Mia's waist from the back and kiss her cheek. "Faye and Jack have something going on...do you have any idea what it might be?" When the little one started fuzzing he grabbed him and bounced him on his arm as he always did . Lately he had gotten a few giggles out of Tyler that way. He pulled his small sunhat a little lower to protect his sensitiv skin and watched his brother pace around the BBQ.
