“Look what the cat dragged in~?” Kenji greeted me; I sleepily strolled into the living room. “Did you have a good night?” 

“Mph...” I rubbed my eyes; Chester and Theo talked happily together in the kitchen, Sonny and Leon chatted. 

“Well, now that you’re up, can you boys follow me?” Ken stood, taking a last sip of coffee before walking down the hall. 

“Hm?” I followed slowly; Leon met me, laying a warm hand on the base of my back; Vic and Chester followed after a moment. 

“What’s up?” Leon hummed, stopping just outside Ken’s room. 

“I wanna show you guys somethin’.” she smiled. “As you know, I have some real expensive cars,” we all filled in, crowding around the computer. “I’ve only ever let Hys or Vic drive ‘em.” 

“You need our help-?” Leon offered. 

“No.” she tapped away on the keyboard. “Since these cars are very important to me, I’ve got to protect them,” she smiled back at us. “Some of the precautions I have are a locking door, alarms, and... cameras.”  

Shit. I swallowed hard; Vic laid his arm over my shoulders. Did he know!?  

“I’m totally fine with whatever shenanigans you do,” she pulled up a gray-scale video recording; two people on a motorbike, crashing into each other repeatedly. “Just keep in mind,” Leon snorted, Vic began to laugh. “Don’t touch my fuckin’ cars.” she smiled at me. “Other than that. Have fun and be safe, ‘k?”  

“Y-yes ma’am...” I covered my mouth with a hand. 

“I did not know you had cams set up in there.” Vic sung. “You’ve gotta pay if you wanna see us again~!” he laughed; I elbowed him in the side harshly. 

“Damn, Hys~!” Chester cooed. 

“Let’s not make fun of him.” Ken noted. “He didn't know-” 

“I am going to excuse myself.” I dipped my head, walking out quickly. 

I walked out into the garage, starting my bike up. I pulled gloves and my helmet on, rolling out of the garage; I stopped at the sidewalk, hesitating. Just to clear my head. I started towards the road.

“Kipp- wait-” Chester laid a hand on my shoulder. “I didn't mean to tease you-”  

“It’s ok.” I sighed deeply. “I just want to clear my head.” I hesitated. “Do you want to come with?” I softly asked.
