HAYES

" Hayes you can't run forever " A female voice has boom on the road - SARAH BURNS - Hayes eldest sister.

" Have you gone mad ?" Hayes shouting back

" you could have handle it better, Leaving is not a choice, Mom wanted to see you "

" Phiiiii, seriously ? there are so many teams for Karting, what the hell are you doing there and here?" Hayes angryly turned his head to his sister.

" If this is the only way for you to talk to me then I don't have a choice but to do this. " Sarah shouted back

" Stop it ! go back and tell Mom, I don't want to get married with that Jerk " Hayes said speeding away from her sister.

" This is not about Simone anymore " Sarah abruptly said " great! that idiot ".

Hayes really despise his EX Boyfriend that Playboy Narcississt Jackass Simone, I don't know exactly what he wanted. Pressuring us not to sign for our hotel merging unless we get married.

Hayes Family owned a Hotel and been collaborating with the Leu Family until that Jackass become the Ceo. Both Families have been okay with their relationship but everyone doesn't know what that they weren't together since 3 years ago, except for his sister.

Hayes accepted his Dad's proposal to be transfer here at thailand, he is currently managing one of the branch as a Ceo when he learned that Simone wouldn't cooperate with the merging of two Hotels unless we get our marriage certificate.

If running away from him is the answer for me, then so be it , to heal and mend a heart that is shattered. 8 years in a relationship, Man! The hardest thing to move on is letting go someone whom you used to be your own strength.

That night Hays has gone to Thailand using their private plane, informing only his father and requested not to tell everyone where I am, for three whole years, I didn't go home but I call my parents and my sister via video call but didn't say where I am.

As for Simone, I didn't try to look into his activity because the pain is too much to handle , I focused on managing the hotel and reuniting with the gang were the best thing happened.

Meanwhile . . .

ZARIA

All of us were shocked to hear that conversation, Hayes forgot to turn off his mic as the whole team heard it.

" Erhhmmmm " I poked in the ear piece.

" Hayes, you have a sister ? " Cassidy asked

" Why you didn't tell us ? is she pretty ? " Jace excitedly asked

" Uuuughhh! " Hayes frustratedly said on his mic, " Damn it! so you've heard.

" Hey, your sis is catching up, whooopsiee, what an ass, I like her" Zaria commented.

" Oh no no, not with you Ocean, Im almost there" Hayes abruptly turn off his mic and hit the gas more seeing her

hand flang out her/his window.

2 sec and her sister had already catch up switching to Carvie, due to Cassidy and Arthurs Laps, both team had 3 more laps to finish but still depends with the time table.

" Alrighttiiiee! Lessgoo baby " Ocean speeding away from the starting point. People from the bench started getting up and cheering for her.

"𝒐𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒅! 𝑶𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒍 " 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈

" 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒅! 𝑶𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕, 𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒉"

" 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒊'𝒎 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍"

My two laps went smoothly and I'm quite surprised that Carvie is extremely good with Karting. Although I'm a little bit faster with 90 sec, he can catch up.

Seems like he had gone a tough training in order to drive that fast, not suitable for a beginner.

I'm almost at the finish line for my final Lap when smoke has started to emerge from my car and it become thicker sooner than I expected.

I tried to stop but my break isn't working too, " 𝘋𝘈𝘕𝘎! 𝘐 𝘒𝘕𝘌𝘞 𝘐𝘛 " trying to calm down as I reduce my speed I can't see anything, I saw Carvie middle finger when I looked back.

" what is going on ?" Parker asked emerging from the racing Bathroom. Payne tried pulling Parker but it was too late he already saw it.

" Calm down " Payne tap Parker's shoulder.

" That's Cean car " Parker whisper grabbing the mic and earpiece. " Damn It ! Ocean, Are you okay ?

" Ocean, can you hear us ?" Zeph calmly half panicked asking on the mic too.

Zoticus arrived at the garage, " Have you heard from him ?"

All of us shaking our heads as we tried to connect with him. As the yellow flag has been raised for the racer to notice when a roaring sound caught their attention, Ocean's car speeding up at the finish line.

"BASTARD! I'm gonna pull those malicious eyes of Carvie if I find he is behind my car's malfunction, Im going to ripped those fingers of his. " Ocean exclaimed, I got only 30 seconds to reach the finish line, Zeph i'll be bumping my car on the barriers, my brakes is not working too." I shouted passing the finish line.

The moment Ocean said those, we heard a loud BANG 300 meters away from the Chekered Flag which means he/she finish the race. At the same time, other Racers had to stop since the Red Flag were being swayed.

Teo and the others had sprinted fast towards my car along with all the securities and personel of the Zoticus. Zeph and the others who were on the garage had to run also.

The gas has been leaking and fire has started to ignite and a loud Boom erupted

Black Flag were raised as people had to exit the racing track.

"Emergency had been requested for everyone to exit the racing track, We will soon address the issue, for the meantime, Everyone should evacuate immediately , Thank you for your cooperation " Zoticus calmly instructed on the microphone.

" Ocean " shouted by all the people who were trying to get near the car which is on fire.

" No, No , No " Parker hysterically shouting as he tried to run but Payne has been holding him.

" Hey,! Zeph hold his face, " Look at me, I don't feel any pain right now, you know what I mean ,Ocean is just near." Zeph reassured

" What are you guys doing ? Is he dead?" An innocently female voice asked

All of us turn to see her/him standing next to us.

"......." deadpan eyes.

Notes:

Si- short for Simone but pronounce as Sy

Green Flag- the race has started

Yellow Flag - is a Caution if there is an accident on the track

Red Flag - All stop when there is an incident on the track

Black - Safety Infraction, All must exit the track

White - meant for Last Lap of the race

Blue with orange is a PASSING is to allow faster karts to pass

*I'm not really an expert in terms of karting but I do love to watch Go- Karting and had to search at g****e for rules and regulations for a definite description for Karting.

Thank you 🙂
