Kira nodded and pretended like she knew what BayLeigh was talking about but she had no clue. As she continued to take pictures she made sure not to get any of Cole for the fact that Brian said he was media shy. "What would you drive back in the states when you go back if it's not legal?" She asked.
She snapped a few more pictures then decided to view the pictures she took. "Would you like to see the pictures and pick out the ones you want to have?"

She smiled, figuring the blonde would hear her as well, "I have a Infiniti G35 that I bought in the U.S., I ship it with me whenever I go back so I have a car, it's modded too but it's modded to American standards not Japanese, so I can use it there. It's a home right now with my two Skylines. I'd love to look at them, I'm sure they're good shots." She left the hood propped up and walked over to Kira to look at the camera.

Kira turned her camera to Bayleigh could see the pictures. The first ones were of Bayleigh on the hood of the car catching all of the car as well in the picture, next few of her with the open car door in front of her. The last bits were of the car itself and pictures from under the hood. "Do you like them?" This was the first time in a while that she had shown pictures right after taking them so she became a little nervous about the quality of the picture.

As Bayleigh checked out the pictures, Cole stepped foward to get a better look at the engine, twin g20 turbo chargers with Greddy bov's were nicely tucked in, a nismo air intake decorated the area where the air box should be, and what looked like Apexi headers and downpipe ran underneath the car. Depending on the internals, he was guesstimating 700-800 hp. "Damn." He murmured.

BayLeigh smiled as she looked through them with Kira. "Those are great, what if I bought a copy of all of them? You have talent with a camera, keep it up." She looked at Kira, waiting for a reaction, hoping she'd get to see Kira around here and else where in Tokyo a lot.

Kira smiled and let out a small sigh happy that BayLeigh loved the pictures. "Of course you could! Thank you and thanks for saying so. I'm going to be around for a while yet so if anyone you know wants pictures you should tell them." She handed BayLeigh a business card out of her camera case with the prices on the back. "Here's my information." The fact that someone new loved her photo's gave Kira a little more confidence in her work as a photographer.

BayLeigh watched the blonde looking under the hood as she kept her focus on Kira. She took the card from her, "Thanks, I'll remember that, I might get you to do some shots of all my cars at my house if you'd like. There's also some other Z owners I know we have a meet some times, I'll keep you posted on it. Just let me know when to get them from you and the total, I'll have the money ready. If you need anything here, help, want a good place to eat, anything, I can help, just hit me up." She smiled and walked over to her car, reaching inside the window and grabbed a sticky note, she wrote her number on it and pulled it off, placing the pad and pen back in the little slot. "Here's my number, did you get a new phone here? or change your plan in the state to a global one? if not you should, it'll cost you a lot using your phone here."

Kira smiled some more. "I would like that and thanks I'll have to take you up on your offer sometime." She took the number and looked at it. "I got a new phone here just a little disposable one that would work great for a short time so it isn't all that bad I just didn't feel like dealing with the phone companies back in the U.S." She would laugh a bit knowing what a hassle they can be and how it took two hours just to get a new phone back home once.

BayLeigh smiled, "Good, I'll be around. I'm in Yokohama a lot too thats where I work." She looked around trying to see where she can direct Kira too, "Why don't you go over there?" She spotted some hondas together in a circle, "Check them out, its a slightly different brand than mine, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind pictures, they are a bit proud of their cars. I should be up to race soon."

Nodding slightly to Bayleigh Kira was grateful for everything she'd done tonight so far. "Thanks again and I'll go do that then." She walked over to the guys and started speaking rough Japanese. After a few minutes she started shooting pictures of the and the cars getting multiple cars and people in each shot. She looked back at Cole and Bayleigh after a few pictures just to see if she could still spot them or Brian.

BayLeigh watched as Kira left, she closed the hood of her car and opened the drivers door. She left it open and got in, opening the small netbook she had connected to her car, she loaded her program on it and cranked the car, letting the computer get all of its readings.

Cole thought he was probably starting to look awkward just standing there, and the brunette was probably wondering why the hell he was so interested in her car. He looked back over to his own car and noticed a small group of young asian guys pacing around his car, then one of them took a car key and scratched some initials in the hood. "Oh no you didn't." Cole furiously stormed back to the evo with full intentions of letting this fool have it. Before he even got there, the group all turned towards him and started mocking him. "Tourists aren't welcome here." One of them said in broken english. Cole decided that instead of breaking someones nose, he'd make some quick cash off of them instead. "10 bills says this tourist will kick keyboy's ass over here." He pointed to the loser who disrespected his car. The group fell silent and looked towards their friend, who surprisingly looked scared. Cole got impatient. "So is this gonna be all bark and no bite?" He pulled the cash from his pocket and slammed it on the hood of his car. Finally, his opponent pulled out a grand of his own and smirked to his friends. "Tourists are easy money." He nodded over to the staging area. "Be there in two minutes." With a huff he turned around and left Cole. In the staging area, both of them were debriefed on their race. They would run up to the top level of the parking garage, exit and run a circuit around the area, then enter the top level of the garage and come back down to their current level. Cole tapped in the streets to his GPS, handed the organizer his money, and pulled to start line. Seconds later a blue silvia s13 pulled beside him. The silvia revved at Cole, who was unimpressed at the sound. He could tell the motor was just an SR20, not RB26 like most silvias. The starter girl walked in between the two cars and turned to face them. As she raised her arms, Cole put it in 1st gear and brought the RPM's up to the launch control limiter, building boost at the same time. The moment her arms dropped, Cole slid the clutch out and bolted off the line. "Man I love all wheel drive." He watched the silvia lose ground in his mirror as the approched the first ramp up to the next level. He downshifted to second gear, yanked the ebrake and kicked the clutch, trying to induce a small slide to better easily take the ramp. It worked, and he gracefuly slide through the ramp into the next level. Through the next few levels, he glided his evo out of the garage and into the street. He checked his mirrors to see the silvia struggling to keep up. He kept a close eye on the GPS to navigate the turns, he knew all he had to do now was drive smoothly, apex the turns correctly and not make any mistakes. He caught fifth gear as the cars speed went in excess of 120 mph, thankfully there wasn't a high amount of traffic on this backroad they were on. As the first right hander approached, he swung wide to the left hit the brakes while heel-toe downshifting to second. He tugged the handbrake slightly to help the car turn and cut through the turn right by the inside curb. The silvia, on the other hand, went way to fast in and nearly lost it through the corner. This guy evidently had no idea how to drive. Cole had a large lead now, and just held it through the remainder of their street run. Once they reached the parking garage, the silvia was hardly in sight, he just drove easily down through the levels and crossed the spray-painted finish line. He was hardly even thrilled, that race wasn't even a challenge, there had to be much better drivers here than that. As a small cheering crowd gathered around the evo, he simply stepped out and accepted his money and win certicate. Many were wondering who he was, and some tried to speak in Japanese to him, but he smiled and waved them off, trying to communicate he was didn't speak Japanese. He sat back down in his car and waited for the silvia driver to show up, who still wasn't there.

She had stopped taking pictures and turned around when she had heard Cole bet in a race. Kira watched the whole thing wanting to take a few pictures but because of the fact that Cole didn't want her to she couldn't.
"He must race no one has that good of luck on their first try here," she thought. She wanted to find out more about this group. She knew that Cole and Brian were two of the three people in the room next to hers but she hasn't seen or heard the name of the female in the room. She also knew that the other man's name was Brian though he gave a different name. This group was definitely something to look into maybe BayLeigh could help answer her questions.

BayLeigh watched the blonde race, she was pretty impressed with what she saw. She walked over to his car and nodded," You're the pretty boy who was checking out my car earlier. Nice race, My names BayLeigh, or just Bay. And you are?" She held out a hand.

Finally the blue silvia showed up, but quickly drove off. Cole shook the brunette's hand and stepped out of his car. "Thanks, I'm Cole, or just Cole." He laughed at his terrible joke. "I didn't mean to look that obvious, it's a nice car for sure." He nodded. "I take it you race around here?"

BayLeigh laughed, "It's cool, she is a beauty. It's nice to have a name now. Yes, I do race around here, I've been here 5 years, next time you come just park your pretty car next to mine, it won't get touched then. The Japanese are kinda rude to foreigners. And here," She handed over a sticky note, something she always kept on her, "Here's my number and address, if you want that fixed by a professional that you can trust, I have a shop at my house just on the outskirts of the city, we can take care of it." She smiled.

Cole took the post-it note and looked it over. He was surprised she was so outgoing to someone she just met. "Thanks, I'll take you up on that next time." He looked over at the scratch marks in his baby. "So you've raced here for 5 years, you must know who's who around here then." He paused for a moment. "You own your own shop?"

She smiled, "It's always there, and yea, I know who's who. I've kinda moved my way up, many of the people who come don't mess with me, most are afraid to. And not really, I have a shop, but its my own work mostly. I have a spot for body work and a spot for anything mechanical. I just don't advertise, I spend enough time at the Nissan headquarters, I don't want to work on others cars. For you though, I'll make an exception, many probably won't fix that right here, so me and you can do it at my place." She smiled.

When she mentioned Nissan headquarters, that got his attention. Cole raised his eyebrows. "You work with Nissan?" To certain people, it almost would've sounded like she was getting flirtatious, but Cole thought nothing of it. "Well I appreciate it, I'll give you a call this weekend." He smiled.

She nodded, "Yea, I came out here for work for Nissan. I have a Automotive Engineering degree, I design the cars that come out as well as mess with all the motors, transmissions, and everything that goes to the cars and gets upgraded in current models new models. Its a pretty cool job. Thats really how I can afford the 4 cars I own, the Z isn't the only one. I hope to see you around here again." She smiled.
