(OOC: Also would be interesting too. Especially since she was accused of the vandalism to Glimmer's trailer and some other things. Anyways, I'm sorta stuck and Slick's been MIA for the longest time. A little help, please? ^^;; )

Joltsen was distressed and afraid. He tried to be as still as possible from the beginning. Few seconds after he had taken a big slurk of the gas, he was unable to breathe, and the engine was overheating. Smoke came from any openings possible in the hood.
"Alright Trip, I am here." O'Hale rarely called Joltsen by his first name, but now it was one of the rare occations. He really needed Joltsen to be aware of what was going on. "Open the hood." He said while going to his work desk. He knew what it was, it was an allergic reaction to the Ipacac, but the last time Joltsen had a reaction, O'Hale was not his crewchief.
He quickly found the booster shot and opened the hood. With a quick motion, as he had done it few times before while working as a doctor, he got the contents of the shot to Joltsen, and waited.
Joltsen started to breathe again, but was too weak to even stay awake. The engine started to cool off. He closed his eyes knowing he would be okay now, and tried to rest where he was. O'Hale checked the engine over to be sure it was okay, and then closed the hood.
"Siphon the gas, I don't want him to start the engine again with that junk in him." He turned around. The paramedics were not there yet, probably assisting other racers who had gotten sick. He looked at Shroder, and bowed slightly. "Thanks for coming, but it is a one-man operation when you know what to do. If I get the bastard who thought about playing this practical joke however..." He growled slightly. "Joltsen won't be racing today."
((OOC: I admit it! I don't know anything about severe allergic reactions, and I forgot to look it up. But I wont be nitpicking at details if someone will create a epileptic character.))

Slick saw that Kamui was in a bad way and he began to get worried as he came over to her.
"Hon, are you okay? What happened?" he asked worriedly.

Phoenix stood up on her shocks. "I don't know?" She said. "I haven't seen Ebony since yesterday. Could she be somewhere with the twins?"
~~~~~
"I'll say." Kitt said. "Joltsen along with a few other racers are having the same problems, it looks like someones trying to sabotage the race today."

"Yo, Hon..... been poisoned..... with ipicac.... please..... watch where.... you tread..... I was just very sick..... a moment ago.... and I don't think...... you'd wanna drive.... in it....." Kamui managed to say.
She tried getting up but ended up back in that slumping position that she was in before. She still wasn't strong enough to move.

"She's the kind of car who goes off on her own," nodded Boost, "Ebony's not really good with crowds. I just hope that wherever she went, she and the twins are safe."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That bad, huh?" Slick leaned toward Kamui, "Want me to get you anything?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire just stayed where she was, not feeling like she wanted to go anywhere. She shook her hood again to clear it.
"I bet it was Norman..." she half-growled, "I just know he's up to something bad..."

"Just out of curiousity. I'm from Ireland." O'Hale said and opened the freezer where he kept the fuel for the race. It had paid of well, as cooled fuel had higher density, which allowed few more gallons to be put in the tank. So as long as no tires went flat, it made the longest runs without going to the pits. After checking the tanks in the freezer, O'Hale went out and closed it. "Well, the fuel here is okay, I guess whoever did this didn't know about the freezer."
"Anyhow, you can return to Exan, there isn't anything you can do to assist me I'm afraid." He looked at the gas container Joltsen had drinked from. He sucked small amound in him and spit it out. He was badly surprised. "Scrap! Just how much of Ipacac is in it?! This is far more than the other racers recieved." He looked at Shroder. "I need to make few phone calls, including to security." He said, kicking the container to more secluded location and went to the nearest phone.

"If..... if you can.... help me.... to somewhere..... comfortable..... that would.... be nice.... I can't make.... it anywhere.... under my.... own power.... yet...." Kamui managed to say.
She paused to fight off another sick feeling. Fortunately she won and nothing made it on to the ground in front of her.
"Ugh.... don't feel.... so hot.... right now....." Kamui muttered.
_________________________________________________________
"Mkay... fine, man. I... uh... juzt nee'd ta che'k out sum foo'tage, man. Whoev'r did dis want'd ta get ba'k at Jolts'n-dude goo'd," said Shroder.
With that, he also went looking for security as well to see if they had any footage from nightwatch. _________________________________________________
Norman awoke slowly. He made sure to put some poison in to his own gas supply to avoid blame. When he left his trailer, he saw most were rushing around in a panic.
Heh heh heh! Looks like my plan worked better than I thought. And with the help of that tuner too! Speaking of which.... where is he?

"Here, lean on me and I'll help you back," said Slick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edison was checking the security footage with Marco and Jason as Ebony had asked him to. He was beginning to get suspicious when all that was shown was a grainy image of an almost non-descript car, which looked like a Dodge Viper, was seen on the footage.
(((((OOC: Just setting Ebony up for the blame...)))))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Flint had taken care not to let himself be seen by either security or other staff in the stadium. He was now out looking for Ebony.

"I hope you're right." Phoenix said. "I just can't shake off this feeling that somethings going down later."
~~~~~
Kitt pulled along side Sapphire. "After this, he might be trying to find another way to knock you out of the race." He growled. "Need anything?"

Tex woke up to his alarm in his private suite. By now, he knew, the racers and their crews would be up and around, getting ready for the day's events. Strip and Lynda would arrive around noontime, about two hours before the event. The big Caddy stretched and rose off of his sleeping pad, shaking himself like a horse. It was then that his cell system rang, and the pattern of the ring tone told him exactly who it was.
"'G'mornin', Ondine." he began good-naturedly. "What's up?"
"We got some problems, boss." The Bricklin woman answered. "The security on pit row reported that several competitors are down with tainted gas and one of them is in the hospital with an allergic reaction. Better brace yourself, because the media is going to be all over this one. It looks like someone could have deliberately contaminated the fuel."
Tex swallowed a curse as he pulled back his curtains to look at the scene below him. Sure enough, the media were piled twenty deep before the guard post. Within the infield where the trailers were parked, crew chiefs and pitties were scurrying to make sure that they hadn't received any of the poisoned gas. "Holy... Ondine, I'll be right down. As for those media buzzards, let'em stew until I get there. They can wait a few minutes."

Kamui shuttered as another feeling passed through her frame. She switched from leaning on the side of the trailer to leaning on Slick.
"I.... I can't.... believe anyone.... in their right.... mind would.... do anything.... like this....." Kamui managed to say.
___________________________________________
"Mkay. Will do! Lat'r, man an' I hope Jolts'n-dude getz bett'r!" said Shroder.
With that, he went to seek out Edison and the security tent with the can in tow. ______________________________________________
By now, Norman's crew was in a frenzied panic when they tested Norman's gas supply and discovered it was positive for ipicac. Norman pretended to look concerned. But out of the corner of his eye, he could see Sapphire and she didn't look to be in good shape. Joltsen - even WORSE shape.
Let that be a warning to you, Ice Princess! Mess with me and I'll mess you and anyone connected to you even worse!

"I can beat this... I've been sick before..." said Sapphire, "I just... need to get to my trailer..."
She managed to get up on her tires, although she was a bit shaky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edison peered closely at the footage, trying to determine who the Viper was and why it was sneaking around the pits. He could barely make out two front spikes on the fender and just shook his front in disbelief.
It couldn't be Ebony, could it? She was up very early and had told him about the tainted fuel, but was she really the culprit?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Just take it easy," soothed Slick as he helped Kamui over to her trailer.
He then looked over at Sapphire's trailer, "Sapphire looks to be in about the same shape too. Kitt's with her now."

It was hard not to for Kamui to put any extra stress on herself. But however, that extra stress wasn't doing her health any favours. She shuttered again.
"I'm..... I'm trying......" said Kamui.
She then heard the Sapphire comment.
"She's.... affected.... too....?" Kamui managed to say.
