As soon as I pull to a stop, I exit the car with a cocky smile. And I know it’s full on cockiness, full on arrogance. ‘Cause fuck this guy.
“Brax, it’s the second time you’ve lost to me.”
“Man, fuck you. You go and get a contract into the big time and you think you rule the streets of LA.”
I step closer, my eyes never leaving his dark ones. “I do own these streets.” I laugh because it’s the truth.
I was filth. Scum. And Brax knows it.
Brax also knows I’m the motherfucker calling the shots now.
I pull a cigarette from my pack and flick my lighter to life. Breathing in, I take a long drag, letting the smoke enter and fill my lungs. “Now, don’t you have something for me?” I breathe out.
Brax isn’t happy, but he’d never not keep up his end of a bargain. Especially with this many witnesses.
Brax can put on a big front, but in the end, he’s harmless. He was the second person I met when I went to live with Kav.
Before then I was a ghost, and no one knows anything about me from my time before. I adopted the name Danger, and now that’s who I am. A danger to everyone.
The red and blue lights shine before we hear the sirens.
“Run. Cops,” I hear someone shout over my shoulder.
Brax hands me a slip of paper and I read the name written there, “Colton Donavan.” I crumple it up and stuff it into my back pocket.
Before I can even try to make my way back to my car, it’s over, and I’m thrown on the asphalt with handcuffs being slapped on my wrists.
Fuck. I’m going to get into a lot of trouble for this.
Because at this time of night, there’s only one person I can call.
And he’s not going to be too happy.
The team owner. The man who plucked me from the streets and threw a racing helmet on my head and stuck me behind the steering wheel of an Indy race car.
Knowing Luther Grander, he’ll send his ice princess of a daughter to come and pick me up.
Tonight, Monterey’s in for a treat.
Chapter 2
Monterey
Headline News: Danger Hudson is at it again. The Indy racing world may need to put the brakes on Danger’s partying.
Indy race car driver, Danger Hudson, lives up to his name, yet again, by partying at the Breckell Mansion. The twenty-four-year-old driver, who races with Grander Racing, has been arrested three times in the past six months. Allegedly for drugs and driving way too fast. Danger’s reportedly been off the charts since joining the racing team in late April.
Luther Grander and his daughter, Monterey, signed Danger onto their team after spotting him on the Formula Three racing circuit, and grabbed him and put him into an Indy Grander car alongside his teammate, Mandarin Chase.
It’s rumored Danger replaced longtime boyfriend of Monterey Grander, Thad Jeffries, after they broke up last year due to Thad not being serious enough for Monterey. Thad Jeffries is now racing with the Hammond Team, and can’t be more thrilled to finish this season strong. He thinks Grander’s new replacement Danger is a joke and an embarrassment to the sport.
Monterey Grander lost out big time on keeping Thad. Too bad. But don’t worry ladies, he’s still single and he’s happy to not be tied down to the ol’ ball and chain as he puts it.
With only ten races left in the season, will Danger be able to walk the straight and narrow? Will the Granders be able to keep this bad boy under control?
At seventeen, Danger held the record for fastest time set by anyone in the Quarter Midgets for three years in a row. His childhood is shrouded in mystery and there’s no record of him or his real name before the age of twelve. Did his mother really name him Danger? What do we really know about this mysterious man? We know he’s got a killer driving ability to burn up a race track. His speed and accuracy on the course is something other drivers envy.
One thing is certain, Danger knows how to get a crowd pumped up.
What do you think of the man Grander has declared will take their team all the way to victory?
We have some opinions here:
Dr. Martin Scarborough, psychologist from John Hopkins University, “Danger appears to be experiencing abandonment issues probably brought on by a mother or father leaving him. There isn’t much we know about the man’s childhood, but I can gather by his actions he didn’t have the most pleasant of one.”
Hailey Bloom, Hollywood actress who reportedly spent one night with Danger, “Let me just say, this man has some serious skills in the bedroom. He’s also not a talker. Kind of dark, broody, and when I asked him to call me the next day he laughed. Not that I cared, I would never date a guy like him.”
