"Keep going." Damien yells at me while we try to catch up with the car that had just left the station.

"My fucking foot is on the floor." I yell back at him. "This piece of shit can't go much faster!"

The car in front jumps the lights and I have to slam on the brakes to stop anyone colliding into the side of us.

"Fucking go!" Damien yells as the green light comes on.

I speed forward, barely missing the pedestrian running across the road as I cut another driver off. We couldn't lose this guy.

I round the corner, lifting off on two wheels. From the corner of my eye I see Damien grab the dash. He wanted me to hurry and this was the only way. "We can't let him get away!"

"Don't you think I know that!" I shout back over the screaming engine.

"I knew I should have gotten behind the wheel."

"I've seen your driving, we wouldn't even be this close." I snap, watching the car in front drift around another bend.
