After a lengthly cell phone conversation with Neela, Cole learned where the drift competitions were taking place and when to be there, supposedly Neela would meet him there. Right after the call, he decided to pull the front driveshaft off his evo to make it a rear wheel drive, just incase anything should happen. He found an abandoned parking lot close to his hotel and practiced some drifting with his now rwd car. Cole had previous drifting experience, and he wasn't bad at it, but he certainly wasn't as good at drifting as he was at racing. Practice had to make perfect, in his eyes.
Later that night, he mounted some new rear tires and drove down to the location Neela told him about. Once again he got lost, but eventually came across yet another old parking garage, painted a faded blue of all colors, and had a lookout at the entrance. Seeing the nature of his car, the guard opened the gate and Cole rumbled in. The scene here was BIG, even bigger than the racing area. He recognized a few cars he had seen racing the other night, who were apparently drifting tonight. He could hardly believe how alive the place was. He finally found something he liked about Tokyo; they knew how to party...with cars. He found a parking spot he liked and jumped out, he immedietly started searching for Neela, which could be a challenge in this place.

Agent Hobbs had taken a few days to think hard about how he was going to approach this case now that he knew his daughter was pregnant. The fact of the matter was, he was absolutely no closer to a solution other than to capture the two jackasses that have her. He and his squad found several locations where races took place, thanks to the word of mouth and a little scouting. The police here hardly seemed to do anything about the racing, which allowed it to grow big time. Hobbs and his men loaded up their truck and drove to a spot roughly 500 yards from the blue parking garage they were targeting tonight. Word had it that this place was the biggest race scene of them all, couldn't hurt to try it first. The whole squad was dressed in casual clothing so that they would blend in once the sneaked their way into the garage. Hardly a word was said between anyone as they approached the garage and lifted each other up the concrete wall to the first level, now they just had to find the cars. They followed the sound of the DJ upstairs.

BayLeigh pulled into the faded blue garage. She was in the R34, even though she never fixed the dents. She found a spot and parked, sitting in her car for a while. She looked around as the crowd started to grow, she wondered how tonight would go. As she looked on, she noticed a group of guys that she hadn't seen before. She had a feeling, but she ignored it. "What is with all of these Americans suddenly appearing here?" She asked herself. She got out of her car as another driver pulled up next to her. He got out of his car and she started to talk to him, staying close to her car as she watched the new group.

"C'mon, let's go." Brian shouted through the closed door of the bathroom. Mira was taking extra long tonight so Brian urged her to hurry. About 15 minutes later they pulled up in Brians now repainted Skyline, which he intended to swap for another car that night if somebody was stupid enough to race for slips.
At first nothing seemed unusual but he wasn't that familiar with the race scene just yet,

Neela sat on the hood of her Mazda RX-8 waiting. She was waiting for Cole to make his appearence. To tell the trye she was alittle nervous about bringing him here. The people into drifting were not the most friendly to Americans. Hopefully Takashi wouldn't be there tonight. The thing she needed was him being a jackass to Cole.

Drivers here apparently had something to prove, everywhere Cole looked there were challenges being made, accepted, and acted upon. It was ridiculous to say the least, but also pretty cool. After a couple minutes searching for Neela, Cole gave up and pulled out his phone. He texted Neela. "hey where r u?" As he sent the message, he noticed a group of Americans on the far end of the lot, looking on as if they were searching for someone. They looked like guys you wouldn't want to mess with either, almost like federal agents. Cole made a mental note to keep watch on those guys.

As best as he was doing, Hobbs had a hard time blending in with the crowd, and it didn't help that everyone was giving both him and his squad dirty looks. He stopped suddenly and turned to his men. "Alright, we need to split up. Each of you know what were looking for, so start searching." He dismissed his squad as they went their separate ways. He walked past rows and rows of modified cars, keeping the ones he was looking for in mind. A blue skyline, a black and blue charger, a silver GT-R, and suspicions were one of them had a black evo x. After 10 minutes of looking around and seeing quite a few cars that fit that description, he finally saw a black evo x that matched every detail of the car reported in America, he wrote the plate number down and made a note of where it was parked. He would come back to that car later.

Kira walked around the building a little bit taking pictures of some of the people there. She spotted Mira, Brian, and Cole over at another end and saw BayLeigh as well. She headed closer to them and out of the corner of her eye saw another group of American's. She only saw a few groups since she'd been on the racing scene but never a group this old or this large. Most looked really scary to her so she made a mental note not to go over there after snapping a quick picture of the group as she headed over near BayLeigh and the others.

Neela jumped alittle when he phone started to viberate. She pulled it out and quickly texted Cole back with a picture of the numbered colum that she was parked next to. At least she now knew he was here somewhere. She now just had to find him or let him find her. Deciding on the later she stayed in her spot and waited.

Mira threw her shoe at Brian. "Keep rushing me and you can sleep on the floor tonight." She did hurry up as she got ready though. As they walked out of the room she picked her mom's old dog tags out of her bag and put them on. They were something that always comfert it.
She fallowed Brian on her new Suzuki GSXR. It was a mirror image of the one she had sold in Miami. She was more comfertable on a bike then she was in her Charger because she was raised in Motorcross racing.
Parking the motorcycle next to Brian's skyline she walked over to him and stayed close.

Amazingly, in the massive crowd, Cole saw Kira walking over to him. Still eyeing the American group at the far end, he rushed over to Kira and quickly motioned over to them when he reached her. "Hey Kira, see those guys over there?" The group was starting to disband, so it wasn't as obvious as before. "Could you keep in an eye on them for me? Just tell me if they do anything weird, especially around my car." Right as he finished, his phone buzzed with a text, it was a picture of a pillar with a number on it, which he eventually figured out was probably the reference point Neela was at. Looking back at Kira, he rushed out. "I gotta go, I'll talk to you in a bit." He jogged off trying to read the lettering on the pillars as he went by. In a few minutes he finally found Neela by her RX-8 playing with her phone. "Well I see why you go to the drifts more than the races." He smiled. "This is crazy."

Kira nodded "Yeah I can watch them. Though they give me an uneasy feeling." She kept an eye on where Cole headed off to and then watched the group of men she took a few pictures just to keep the faces of them fresh in her mind. She put the camera down when she saw Hobbs near Cole's car. Out of all of them he scared her the most and that was just because of his shear size and nothing else. She watched him take down the plate number and hoped that he would pass by without speaking to her.

Hobbs instinct took over when he saw a camera flash in the reflection of the sparkling black evo. He quickly spun around to see a petite blonde with a high quality camera in her hands. If there was one thing he hated, it was people interferring with his work. He stomped over to the girl and huffed. "Need something Ma'am?"

BayLeigh climbed into her car, she turned on the radio and let her USB play. She grabbed her laptop as she looked around, keeping an eye on Hobbs and the other people with him. She watched them split up, so it was a bit harder to keep an eye on them all. She was glad she invested in a mobile hotspot for her laptop, she loaded up the web and browsed some as she watched around her. She spotted Kira and Hobbs both near Coles car. At this moment she wished she had painted his whole car, she had a feeling Hobbs knew the car. She needed to know who Hobbs was.

Kira gulped quietly and shook her head looking up at him anyone could tell she was scared. "No. I was just taking a picture of the car." She lied easily even with being scared because the truth was in the picture she had gotten of him was mostly the car. "Why do you want to know?" Even though he scared her a lot she wanted to know why he got so upset over a simple picture much like Brian and Cole did when they had first met.

BayLeigh grabbed her laptop, before getting out she loaded her design program. She walked closer to Coles car, watching Kira with the man, she got as close to Kira as she could, just to make sure she was close if anything were to go down between these two. She didn't really know Kira yet, but she seemed like a trustworthy person, the man on the other hand didn't. She held her laptop close to her as she stood there.

Hobbs took a step back from Kira. "Oh really, you're in the photography business?" He thought for a few moments, this could actually be a very good opportunity to see if the suspects were actually here, maybe this girl had taken photos of their rides. "If I gave you an email address, would you be willing to send every photo you've taken within the last week to it?" He purposely ignored her rants, in his eyes, anything she had to say that didn't deal with the suspects was irrelevant.

Kira thought for a moment then nodded. "I could for a small price. I do have to make a living some how." She didn't know what this man wanted with so many pictures, she must have taken about five hundred pictures in the past week alone but if he would pay her for this then she would have no trouble e-mailing all of them to him.

Tell you what, I'll pay you $1000 American dollars if I can have the memory drive out of that camera right now." Urgency in his voice. Thankfully for them money wasn't an issue, and those photos could make the whole case for Hobbs and his squad.

Kira's eyes widened at the amount of money he had offered for one little camera card as she slowly pulled it out. She was luckily that a spare was with her so it wasn't that big of a deal. "Alright it's a deal." She handed him the small card. "Here. It has around five hundred pictures or so."
