Cole couldn't find Brian or Mira so he walked by the spectator area in search of them. While he was there, he noticed an R34 and a 350Z in the staging area, about to go. A closer look revealed that the R34 happened to be Manako's. "He's got that same passion." Cole smirked.
Eventually, he gave up on trying to find his friends and made his way back to his car. Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw Stephano and his men on the other side of the row. 'They better not be stalking me.' He thought to himself.

Stephen searched the crowds for any sign of Paolo or Cole. Finally he saw Paolo in a row of cars. Knowing that Cole was close Stephen pressed the search. About five minutes later Stephen found Cole waiting by his car. "Now I know you weren't expecting to see me again tonight but it only seemed fitting that we talk once again. Now if you already know this don't hate me for being redundant. I have already spoke with Mr. Sora and the terms we came to are that you get tewnty-five percent of your winnings, you recieve any car you want as welcoming gift and finally a fine Italian dinner. So do we have a deal?" Stephen put out his hand hopeing that Cole would shake it. "Oh I forgot if we do come to a agreement pass this information off to the other two. Scratch that, pass the information only to the man but invite the other to the dinner as well." Stephen puts his hand back out for Cole to hopefully shake.

Finally Cole got what he wanted from Stephano; Terms. He had to admit, they sounded good. Chances were that this mob was going to bet enormous amounts of cash, so 25% could mean one hell of a payday for him. Not to mention a car of his choice. "Very well." He took Mr. Dieseli's hand. "I will bring this to the other's attention, but ultimately I'm sure you will agree it would be best if you would discuss this matter with them yourself. I cannot act as a spokesman for them." That was it, he was officially a mob driver. "When do I start?" He gave a fairly blank expression.

"Well I'm glad we are seeing eye to eye Mr. Peyton. Of I will speak to your friend later. We will disscuse with him over our fine meal. The reservations have already been made. We will be eating at the Luna Azure tomorrow at 7:30 pm so make sure you and your friends are there. Also what car are you wishing to get a hold of so I can put the "order in" if you get what I'm saying. Now I wish you a good night Mr. Peyton and I only need to find Mr. Sora again and I can finally leave this acursed place." Stephen walks away from Cole and heads to the finish line. He meets Mr. Sora again and informs him of the dinner reservations.

Manako was surprised to see Stephano again and after he told Manako the information for tomorrow. Manako just nodded in confirmation. Manako watch Stephano walk away then Manako spotted Cole and ran up to Cole and started apologizing in the Japanese fashion "Cole I'm so sorry. I tried to find you, before he did, to tell you the information. I couldn't find you. Please forgive me." Manako was on his knees and palms bowing for forgiveness. then Manako added "I also tried to have him drop you and your friends from being part of this. I noticed the girl your friend was with, was pregnant. So I tried reasoning with him. Please Don't be mad at me."

Cole nodded as Stephano talked. 'Brian's gonna be so pissed.' He thought, dreading the talk he would have to have with him about this. There's way too many cars Cole could think of that he wanted, he was about to pick some european exotic until he realized how impractical that would be for his situation, not to mention picking something easier to obtain would possibly earn him some brownie points. "I'd like a Corvette ZR1." He decided to revisit the days when his dad taught him how to drive stick on a Corvette back when he was 13. "Thank you." He wondered what the mobster met when he said "order in," but so far it didn't concern him, so he didn't give it much thought. "We'll be there." He reassured Stephano.
Suddenly Manako came out of nowhere, extremely apologetic for a reason Cole did not know. "Dude, it's fine. We're all good." He grabbed Manako's arm and yanked him up from the ground. "I appreciate you trying to talk him out of it, but I'm beginning to think it would better if we didn't fight his wishes...for now." Cole emphasized that last part. "Who knows, this could work well for us if things go smoothly, I mean do you have any idea how much money we could in for?"

Stephen soon joined back up with Paolo. He said to come with him and that he would be sending someone to watch both Cole and Manako given the same instructions to call if anything happened. For now though Stephen and Paolo marched back to the Continental and drove home to retire for the night.

When Cole lifted Manako up off the ground and asked him about how much they could earn. Manako finally stated "Cole that's the problem I'm From Hokkaido, Japan which is the largest prefecture in Japan and I was and still known as The Dragon of Nozuka Pass. I raced for respect and pride, not money. And the race I had with you was my first time racing with money. So if you can how much can we make for winning races for Stephano?"

Cole gave his new friend an inquisitive look when he started talking about locations and titles. He remembered pretty much nothing from his visit apparently. "We all race for respect and pride. Back when I raced professionally I drove more for the trophy than the paycheck, still do." He grinned. "That being said, in today's society, money goes a long way."
Cole had to laugh when Manako right after asked about their earnings. "Thought you weren't concerned?" He laughed. "I dunno, but I'd say there could be races with 100 grand or more sitting on them. You do the math."

"I actually don't but i want an idea of how much i can earn and send back to japan." Manako said as he looked up and started moving his hand as if he was calculating on an abacus. His eyes began moving with his hands. While his mouth was moving to words that couldn't be heard. once he figured the number he finally yelled "JESUS CHRIST!" then he looked at Cole and said "Okay if I'm correct if Stephano would place $75,000 on one of us to win and it's 50 to 1 odds that means we would be making $956250."

Cole took a long pause trying to figure out Manako's math. "Depends how many cars we're running against." He concluded. "Besides, we could be getting a lot more than that if he runs us on a regular basis." He knew all to well though that the reality of the situation went a lot deeper than that. "Question is, at what cost?" He looked at the ground.

OOC- here is the song www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0Manako looked at Cole and shrugged his shoulders. Then Manako walked back to his car and opened the trunk of his car and started playing Gangnam Style by PSY. As he was playing it he began bobbing his head slightly. He opened the hood of his car and began tinkering with his car. Without realizing he was dancing to the song as he was tinkering.

Cole pondered what he said for a few moments after Manako went to mess with his ride. The endless possibilities that went through his head were just that; endless. He knew eventually they were going to have to get out of it, the trick was to ride the ship as long as possible before it sunk.
Cole was watching another race take place until he got a tap on the shoulder from someone he recognized as the race director. "Hey bro, we got a group of guys wanted to do a four car race, they got three and need a fourth. 2 grand buy in per car, winner takes all. You in or what?" Cole shrugged but already made the decision in his head. "Why'd you ask me?" The directer gave him a "really?" look and explained. "Cause you're a crowd fav apparently, they don't even know your name, they just say to get that red GTR with the blonde driving. That and these guys you're running with are cocky SOB's, they need to get beat at least once tonight." Cole laughed. "Yeah who isn't around here? Alright, gimme a minute." He jogged back to his car and brought it up to the line. It had been awhile since he had done this many races in one night, and it would've felt good if he didn't have other concerns.
About 20 minutes later, Cole was celebrating with the crowd on a win and this time he allowed himself to enjoy it a little. Guys were giving him thumbs up and highschool girls were surrounding his Nissan, life was good in that moment, real good.
He soon went back to where his friend was still dancing his ass off. "Hey Manako, racin's still hot if you wanna make some more sucker cash." Cole saw he was still working on the R34's engine. "Got a boost leak or something?"

As Manako was tinkering with his car a voice behind him made him jump a little as he turned around he noticed it was just Cole, who asked him if he had a boost leak or something. Manako looked at Cole and shook his head and said as he took out a remote and pressed a button which turned off the music and closed his trunk "Nah just tinkering which keeps my mind clear of all distractions and plus I'm adjusting my settings back to the setting I had when I raced you. I changed them before I raced the 350Z. Anyways I was going to race very soon."

Cole studied the skyline's engine bay. "RB26's are usually pretty stable. As long as you run a reasonable mixture and not run it ridiculously lean you can run high amounts of boost regardless of the application. Nonetheless, no need to run more boost or advance the timing when you don't need it." He laughed. "Good, gotta keep our skills sharp now that our lives probably depend on it."

"Yeah well have you heard of the RB26DETT Z2? You probably have." Manako said smiling. "Well this Engine is that engine but with a little more modifications than what your use to. First off it was 2.8 L then I bored and stroked it to 3.15 L. Second I Kept the Twin Turbos but added two HKS Turbos to replace the stoke ones. Then I changed my gears to helical gears for gears 1-5 because I those are the ones i use the most. I added a lot more modifications that boosted the power to over 2000 bhp if i didn't use the boost control another thing is I can rev it up to 12000 rpms. one other thing is the setting I raced You with was about 1100 bhp and a rev limit of 10000 rpms" Talking about his car made him smile and chuckle a little.
"Also when I was racing you I was using about 80% of my ability. Don't be angry please because your probably the only one who made me use 80% here when I was racing the 350Z I used only 30%. So You should feel proud and plus If I use 100% with my car i can damage it. Reason I know this is because I've done it." said Manako as he looked down at his car and patted it.

"I got an S15 with an RB26 N1 block, its my favorite engine of all time." Cole held a skeptical look on his face when Manako stated "facts" on his powerplant. "12,000 rpm? Jesus christ what are your rods made out of?" Cole shook his head. "If you really are pushing 2000 horse then you need to call a couple magazines, they'd probably pay you to feature your car. That's unheard of with an RB26." Cole was beginning to see why he had a hard time beating this car, this guy must've had well over 100 grand just in the motor to be pulling specs like that.
Cole's skeptical look turned to one of annoyance when he started hearing about this ability nonsense. "Let me tell you something about racing. Whenever you beat or tie someone and they tell you that they weren't giving their all, you immediately dismiss that person as a true or honest competitor. No one races at 80%, no one. Because if they did, then why would they bother racing anyway? Ability has nothing to do with whether your car can handle your driving. Ability has to do with how well you can bring the car's full potential out."

Manako looked at Cole's face and noticed he was Annoyed when Manako talked about ability "Sorry Cole I didn't mean to talk about my ability like that usually I only talk like that when someone was very arrogant or talked smack but you were never arrogant to me or talked smack to me. I think it might be years living in Japan. Can you forgive me?" Manako said as he bowed.

"Yeah, welcome to street racing." He grinned. "No worries man, I've done the same." He clapped him on the shoulder. "But seriously, how the hell are you making that kinda power without the whole engine grenading?"

"Well you see I don't set everything to max." Manako said before continuing "Basically if I set everything to 100% I can get over 2000 bhp but I don't I usually set it 50% to 70%, mostly 65%. Right now," Manako then entered his car and looked at his computer and began typing he than turned the screen towards Cole so he could see "I have the settings at 60%..." Then Manako looks at his computer and noticed some odd "that can't be." then Manako got out of his car and looked under his car and noticed oil dripping on the ground. "Who the hell?"
Then Manako heard a voice behind him laughing "Something wrong with your car?" asked a brown haired guy, who was wearing a white muscle shirt and blue jeans, and was laughing. While the guy was laughing Manako began to get angry and then yelled "WH... WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR!" then the guy looked at Manako and said "Hey don't yell at me because you don't know how to take care of your car, Riceboy."
After Manako heard that he began to to walk forward in anger about to punch this guy.
