Phoenix nodded. "Yeah, they can't have broken glass spread out all over the track when we crash." She tapped her plates. "To much of a risk to the racers."

"Safety is... a good idea..."
Ebony winced and gasped suddenly from a sharp pain within, "Oww... that hurt this time... wish they'd stop moving and let me sleep..."

"They're really moving around now aren't they." Phoenix said. "Guess I miss a lot. Any word from Boost yet?"

"Just three more months of having to put up with them..." Ebony replied, giving a deep sigh, "but I wish this term ended a lot sooner... And no, I haven't heard from Boost yet... He says this disbandment is a delicate process that requires his full attention and constant presence... He won't be back until week later... I think..."

"I hope so, I'm starting to miss him," Phoenix said. "Its funny not having him next to me when I wake up, I was getting use to that. Though he's going to be surprised when he sees me when he comes back."

"He probably would..." agreed Ebony, "but I don't know what he would say to something like that..."

"Where did he all have to go to find everyone anyway?" Phoenix asked. "I don't even know how big the gang was?"

Strip, Lightning and Doc were quietly waiting their turn while Darcy was going through some laps, concentrating on her steering and brake work. She was finally learning to cope at her top end, which was considerable. She might never actually race, but she would be able to look after herself. She continued to make calls and emails to her mother and brother back in Canada, who were still in the battered women's shelter because friends and relatives of her stepfather were still giving them trouble. It had been decided that she would be better off here with her natural father for now, for although he had issues of his own, his "alters" were stable personalities and he had Sonya to balance him. Darcy's mother, after her first husband had been declared dead after several years' absence, did not feel ready to face him again after remarrying to a much worse man and the consequences of that decision. It would take time.
Finally, Darcy completed the last of thirty laps and retired from the track for the morning. She smiled at the cars waiting as she passed, and proceeded on to look in on Ebony. She stopped momentarily as she saw that Phoenix's trailer was back again, and wondered what changes the Trans Am mix had been through as she neared the tent flap.

"As far as I can remember... the DRH is pretty scattered, but there are about fifty of us in all..." said Ebony, "Nitropolis is usually where the meeting would be taking place... It's also where I grew up..."
(((((OOC: I was thinking that Nitropolis is the equivalent of Sacramento, CA.)))))

"I've always just passed through there," Phoenix said. "The real chance I go to see it was when we after Amber when she rushed off there." She didn't hear Darcy pull up to the flap, her sense had been slightly dulled, it would be a while before she was use to it.

"I only heard about that..." said Ebony, then her sharp hearing alerted her to the approach of another visitor, Darcy she guessed correctly, "Someone's coming to visit..."
She tried to sit up and peer out of the tent opening, but that effort was apparently too much for her.

Darcy waited patiently outside. She didn't enter Ebony's private space unless invited in.

"They have," Phoenix said getting to her tires and turned to stick her front out of the tent flap to see Darcy waiting outside. "Hey Darcy."

Darcy knew that Phoenix was getting race mods, but the effect was surprising just the same. "Hi, Phoenix... that's some difference a week makes!"

"You can come in, Darcy..." Ebony called from her pad, "How's things been going for you...?"
