Chapter 6
They left the club with Sienna's car and Zara quickly texted Dylan that they were on their way back home when she saw the text from Theseus which she had received while they were still in the club:
'That was a good trick you played last night, love. But I know it was you all the time. BTW I love the dress that you put on for your mission but I don't like it when other men stare what's mine. You can only wear that for my eyes only. I'll see you tomorrow, love.'
"What the fuck..," cursed Zara loudly.
"What?," asked both Sienna and Miranda.
Zara shoved her phone to Miranda who was sitting on the passenger's seat for her to read. Miranda read the text to Sienna and both of the girls gasped when they saw the name of the sender.
"Theseus Balthazar sent you that?," asked Sienna, her eyes concentrating back on the road, "Wow.. If your brothers find out about this,".
"Don't forget Jackson, he's much more overprotective than Dylan, remember?," said Miranda.
"What kind of trick did you play last night anyway?," asked Sienna.
"Well he texted me and I pretended to be a married man that received the wrong message from him," replied Zara making both Sienna and Miranda laugh.
"But you forgot that he had Matt on his side though," said Sienna.
"That reminds me, I'm going to kill Matt though when he's coming tomorrow," Zara glowered.
"Why's that?," asked Miranda.
"Because I only gave my number to him, not Theseus, or Jake, or Freddie," said Zara as she took back her phone from Miranda to reply back to the text.
'Yours? I think you're delusional. I'm nobody's and that means I can do whatever I want. So fuck you.'
'Fuck me? So eager.. I'm all yours, love. Can't wait to see you again.' came the reply a few seconds after that.
Zara facepalm herself after reading the text. But suddenly her phone started to ring and Theseus's name came up. She looked at it and rejected it before pushing down the silence button, ignoring a few more calls from Theseus.
'Yeah, you will have to try better than that, Throwback..,'
====================================================================
They arrived home nearly midnight and Zara quickly handed the pill containers to Karan who were experts in gadgets and other technologies. He quickly heads to his lab which is next to the garage to work on the fingerprints using his 3D printer while the girls went to the kitchen to have a quick supper before going back to their apartment complex next block.
Zara woke up late the next day, very late, nearly lunchtime to be exact. When it comes to weekends, sleep is the best thing to do in her life. Dylan frowned when she finally came to the dining room.
"You know, I feel sorry for the man who's going to be your boyfriend," said Dylan as he beckoned Zara to sit next to him.
"Well that's not going to happen in a very long time, right?," asked Zara, knowing how protected her brothers were.
"Yeah.. You're right," Dylan sighed.
Lunch was served by Ben and Shane today, a simple fried rice with eggs, and potato salads. They all had their lunch together except for Meera since she's fasting.
"So who's in for tonight?," asked Theo, "There's three categories; Drag, Drift, and Risk,".
"I'm in for the Risk," said Zara, "I need to win a car for the mission,".
"I'm taking the Drift," said Ezra, "I'm not using my Mustang on Monday,".
"Looks like I'm doing the Drag then," nodded Theo, "We better service our cars and tune them after lunch,".
They took their car to the garage for Jackson and Harvey to go through all the service and tuning procedures. They have to make sure that the cars were all in good shape and suitable for the races that they were joining tonight. They test the cars on the runways and ramps in front of the factory, racing each other to train themselves. Dylan and Megan had set up obstacles for the challenge while Raven recorded their time.
As evening came, they washed their car and finished with the tuning to make it more presentable and desirable so their plan could work. Zara's phone beeped and she open her phone, revealing a text message from the leader of the Hunter:
'See you at the race, love,'
She rolled her eyes and put back her phone in her pocket without replying to it. A few hours later, after Meera had her Iftar, they got ready for the race, put on a suitable outfit and got into their car. Ezra and Sienna in the Mustang, Theo and Meera in Nissan GTR, Zara and Karan in the McLaren, while Dylan drives his Mazda RX-7 with his wife next to him, and Leon with Raven in his Audi. The others went with their cars while Jackson and Ben stayed behind since Ben had a lot of work for his court case, while Jackson doesn't like to be in a crowd of people.
They arrived at the location an hour later and went straight to see the organizer to register their cars for the race.
"Do you want to put your car in the display with the other racers?," asked the organizer.
"No thanks, we like to keep our cars in private," replied Theo as he paid the fees for him and the twins.
They parked their cars near the race track and got out of their cars and walked together at the displays where rows and rows of sport cars were parked for show performance. Their drivers stood proudly next to their cars as girls roaming around to attract hot men and women who will be racing that night.
"Alright guys, time to car shopping," said Dylan, snaking his arm around Megan's waist, "We'll wait at the stand, you know which one to choose,".
"Let's spread out," said Ezra, "Sienna and I will take the first row,".
They all did while Leon, Raven, Miranda, and Harvey, decide to join Dylan and Megan to wait at the stands. Zara, Karan, and Steven decide to take the third row since Theo, Meera, and Shane took the second one.
"What about this one?," asked Karan, "It's a cute Beetle, easy for getaway,".
"It is but we're pulling a cargo container that weighs tons," said Steven quietly, "The car might not be able to handle it,".
"We need something a bit tougher from the inside," said Zara, "With a sun roof as a bonus,".
Three of them looked again and sometimes, Zara stayed longer at a few certain cars while the other two looked for more. She finally stopped in front of a purple Dodge Viper with the hood opened and the sun roof wide enough for two people to climb out together. She stood and examined the engine, looking for flaws until she felt a present behind her.
"Hello, love.. I knew I would find you here," said a familiar voice in her ears as a pair of arms went around her waist, her back against a hard chest.
She slowly turned her head to look at Theseus and glowered at him before prying herself from his grasp. She looked back at her car and examined the engines before looking for the driver. At once, the driver who was surrounded by a few girls emerged himself and walked towards Zara.
"Can I help you, angel?," the driver grinned, his eyes raking Zara from top to toe, "The name is Carlos, and you are?,".
"That's none of your concern," Theseus spat at him.
"And I can speak for myself," Zara scowled at him before smiling to Carlos, "I'm Helena,".
"What a beautiful name. See anything you're interested in, Helena?," asked Carlos, ignoring Theseus who was still glaring at him.
"How much for the car?," asked Zara as she pretended to bend down to look closely at the engine.
"Well, for you, gorgeous.. A few nights with you, and you get it just for free," said Carlos, which made Theseus want to punch him, but after Zara gave him a look, he retreated.
"Oh.. I thought you were going to suggest beating you in the Risk," said Zara, "But I guess, you don't want to lose to a girl,".
"Excuse me? What are you talking about?," asked Carlos, his grin disappeared.
"Oh you know what I mean," replied Zara, smirking, "Men like you are easy to beat,".
This time Carlos glared at her while Theseus crossed his arms on his chest, standing close to Zara, while both Steven and Karan had decided to stand nearby and watched.
"Very well then, Helena," said Carlos seething, "You win, you can have my car.. But, if you lose, you'll mine anytime I want,".
"And I will kill you, cutting you piece by piece," Theseus growled at him, his hand clutched the gun inside his leather jacket.
"No one is cutting anyone," said Zara rolling her eyes, "And it's my choice,".
She stood in front of Carlos and held out her hand as a symbol that they both agreed with the deal. Theseus wanted to pull her hand away from the driver but Steven quickly held his arm.
"Don't," Steven muttered, "If you interfere, you're going to ruin the plan,".
"Just watch and learn, mate," said Karan quietly as both Zara and Carlos seal the deal.
Theseus nearly popped his eyes when suddenly Carlos pulled Zara's hand and kissed her cheek, making her giggle. She turned around and walked towards the three men who had been watching with Theseus looking murderously at Carlos.
"That went well," said Zara smiling at both Steven and Karan before glaring at Theseus, "And as for you, I have a good mind to kick your balls right now,".
Theseus' eyes were filled with fury as he looked at his Goddess. No one has ever said that to him before.
"Did you just threaten me, love?," asked Theseus, as he stepped closer in front of her.
His emerald green eyes look directly in her dark brown eyes while she stood her ground, one of his body parts between his legs had suddenly stirred. His fury suddenly had changed into lust. The way she held herself mesmerized him and he wanted to take her and claimed her to be his right now.
"Do I have to repeat myself that I want to kick your balls?," asked Zara back, her eyes didn't even backed down.
"Woah.. No one's kicking any balls," said Karan quickly as he tugged Zara gently to avoid any casualty.
"Well I might because he's pagal," said Zara bitterly. (Crazy)
Steven stood silently, watching and looking at Theseus's gaze on Zara. Desire, said Steven to himself. He understood that Theseus was jealous when Carlos kissed her, and angry when Carlos wanted to bed Zara. So the psycho Hunter is in love with one of our sisters, said Steven to himself again. Suddenly, there was a familiar booming sound.
"Come on, Drag race is starting," said Karan, "Theo's in,".
