"Yeah," nodded Slick, "She looks very sick and very shaky. Not really the picture of health right now."

Saint Paddy's? You sure you're not Irish?
"It looks your fuel supplies are fine. Looks like your boss' paranoia paid off." "Good. Excellent." "No, it's not 'excellent.' People will start suspecting that we're the ones who've spiked the fuel." Glimmer didn't to hear the groaning and other sickly noises coming from the pits of racers who had already taken the fuel to affirm this. Then he started wondering who really did this. Naturally, he already had a number-one suspect.
I never thought she'd stoop this low...
((Recappi por favor? Thankee. And BTW, would El Bandito know who did this?))

"That.... doesn't sound.... good. Sounds like..... we're in the.... same boat.... right now....." Kamui managed to say.
She was quite dizzy now and that sick feeling swept over her. She coughed.
"Hon...? I don't.... I don't think.... it's done.... with me..... yet....! I wish.... I didn't.... drink almost.... the entire.... can.....! I think.... I'm going.... to be.... sick again....." Kamui managed to say.

(OOC: Quicky recap - Joltsen's been hospitalized because of an allergic reaction to the poison, a nasty article by Eddie Vegas was posted in the tabloids which dealt with a JoltsenxSapphire thing and quite a few others are suffering the effects of being poisoned.... Sapphire and Kamui included.
And as for your question, El Bandito can half sense who's innocent and who's guilty. He sorta has the ghost version of tuner senses. XD )

(((((OOC: Recap for Fierano - Anyone who mistakenly consumed some of the poison fuel got really sick and they're all trying to figure out who was responsible, although the footage shows the grainy image of a dark Dodge Viper...)))))
"Okay, take it easy," said Slick, offering his side for Kamui to fully lean on, "You'll get through this. We're almost to your trailer. Try not to think of being sick."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony had, in the meantime, gone back to the hotel to get some more peace and quiet. Maybe she'll play that Cii that she brought with her or read some of her Western novels. She just wanted to stay away from all the stress right now.

Kamui again had to fight the feeling back.
I'm not going to be sick.... I'm not going to be sick.... I don't feel like hell.....
Kamui tiredly leaned in to Slick.
"Yeah.... I'll get... though this.... this is just..... temporary..... I'll be.... alright....." Kamui reminded herself as she was helped back.

I don't know if I should. If I do, and given that my fuel isn't spiked, they'll really think I did it.
"This is a troublesome situation, Jens. We do not want your reputation compromised before you even see the green flag." advised his managers. "Does anybody else know your fuel has NOT been tampered with?" "No...I don't think so..." "Good. We're asking your crew chief to have the fuel "tainted."" Which would explain the Silverado's subsequent and sudden exclamation after receiving an order from another manager. "Make sure nobody else learns about this. We're having extra fuel transported there now." Jens raised an eyevisor. If he was deliberately sabotaging himself with no real effects to others...was it really sabotage? Still, an order was an order...
===mEaNwHiLe!=== "Hey Eddie, look at this." called the htB crew chief. "What?" Eddie slinked toward a monitor that the crew chief was watching, and stared in horror at what he saw. "What do you think?" "Eh...uh..." The alternate #86 did NOT want to admit that he had quite possibly given shelter to a saboteur... "I-it's too grainy to see who that is..."

Boost decided to go see if any of his fellow DRHs has seen Ebony. Flame and Cade said that they hadn't seen her since yesterday morning.
"There's Slick," said Cade, "You could go ask him."
"I think I will," said Boost and went looking for Slick.
He found the tuner helping Kamui back to her trailer, "Hey, Slick. I need to ask you something."
Slick slowed gently to a stop and turned his attention to his leader, "What is it, Boost?"
"Have you seen Ebony? She was here last night. Now she's nowhere in the stadium. She might be back at the hotel, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm worried."
"I haven't seen her," replied Slick, apologetically shaking his hood, "You think something happened to her?"
"I hope not," said Boost, still worried about Ebony.

"Hmmm... Eddie... that racer who's Chick's backup driver," said Slick, then had a thought, "Hold on, Boost. Let me get Kamui settled and I'll come with you. Ebony might get blamed for the tainted gas and you and I both know she's innocent."

Tex came storming up to the racers' area, his normally genial features retraced with a mixture of anger and concern. The guards cleared him a path through the media horde and escorted him into the restricted area. What he saw there, he didn't like.
He drew up to Kamui's trailer first, on impulse. "Hello? Did anyone get sick here?"

Sapphire tried to roll forward, only to collapse back on her frame, too sick and too weak to move. And she was getting more shaky by the minute.
"Uh... Kitt...?" she looked up at the Bonneville, "C-could you help me to my trailer... please...?"

"Of course Sapph." Kitt said pulling along side Sapphire and letting her lean against his side as he helped her along. "Think you'll be able to kick this out of your system by race time?"

Kamui, with the help of Slick, was being settled in to her trailer when Tex arrived. She looked up at him. She indeed looked pale and sickly.
"Y-yes..... I was, Mr. Dinaco..... I did get..... sick..... I was.... poisoned......" Kamui managed to say.
She slummped down on her sleeping pad. She really didn't want to move.

"This is just like the flu I had last year..." said Sapphire as Kitt helped her back, "I'm pretty sure I can beat this out of my system... all I need is a couple of hours rest and I'm better..."

Flint finally found Ebony at her hotel and knocked on the door of Ebony's hotel room. When she came to see who it is, Ebony gasped and rolled back in surprise.
"Hello, Dark One," Flint grinned a toothy grin, "How's the twins?"
"F-F-Flint...?" Ebony squeaked, "What are you doing here? How did you find me?"
"Your scent," replied Flint, "Anyway, I'm here to warn you that you should not return to the stadium."
"Why?" Ebony narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.
"They are going to blame you for the tainted fuel," explained Flint, "and they will be out for your oil."
"I didn't do anything!" shouted Ebony angrily.
"I knew you were going to say that," chuckles Flint, "but they're not going to listen to you. All they want to do is lock you up and throw away the key. Nobody takes kindly to sabatours here."
"I don't believe you, Flint," Ebony stated, "You are a liar, a cheat, and almost a murderer."
"Hey, I tried to warn you and this is the thanks I get," snapped Flint, "Well, then. See if I ever try to get you out of a jam again."
He drives off, leaving Ebony speechless in her doorway and not knowing what to do.
