"I'm doing better," said Sapphire, "the long nap did me some good."
She then caught a glimpse of Norman over at his pit.
Dammit! He's still here, she thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh, okay," said Slick, getting up. "What Kamui and I were doing last night was very intimate and very private, so please don't bother asking me that question. I just don't want to answer it."
He opens the trailer door.

Jens Glimmer was not woken up that morning by the usual monotone beep that was his usual alarm. Instead he was woken up by his trailer driver, Rocky Barnes, who seemed very worried as he opened the trailer door and paged #57.
"Jens? Wake up, you gotta see this."
It wasn't as if Glimmer already had a hint of what was to come when he noticed that one of the small slats that provided for windows appeared to have turned completely red, causing him to raise an eyevisor. It certainly wasn't the apocalypse yet, as it appeared to have affected only one side of the trailer.
Glimmer grumbled as he rolled down the ramp, only to find his crew chief, two or three snickering members of the Swarm (the term for Glimmer's pit crew) and a few assorted reporters taking note of the trailer's side. Only when he saw for himself what exactly had turned his trailer window red did he actually show any emotion, if at all.
Somebody had thoroughly defaced the design on the side of his trailer, implying many things about many parts of Glimmer's persona that he didn't even suspect, much less have anyway. Jens curled his lips in and closed his eyes before taking a rather deep sigh.
"Who did this?" the CLK stocker asked in a tone such that anybody who answered was very well likely to be the number one suspect. Of course, the crew chief spoke up first. "Jens, calm down. I just got here myself, but nobody saw who did this. One of the Swarm alerted me to the graffiti." "I just want to know who did this." "I wouldn't know...but you did seem to make a lot of enemies yesterday, judging from what we heard..." "Enemies...enemies..." Jens appeared to go into very deep thought.
That "shooter mutt" whom he clearly ticked off yesterday could definitely have done this, on the other tire she probably would have sliced his trailer in two - and him in it! - with that weapon she almost did the same to him with. Of course, after he signed off from practice yesterday he did happen to learn that she had her own team, and could as well have hired any one of them to do this sort of dirty work. Then it clicked as there was one particular member that had tried this sort of stunt before.
"I can't believe I let him get away." he muttered in frustration. "Get away? Who?" Jens turned away and started heading away. "I'll be back in time for qualifying. Right now, someone needs towing." "Jens? Don't do anything rash! I'll go with you." "No, this is personal." "The press and spectators will be arriving in almost full force soon. I'm not having you get anyone towed today." Jens turned to face his crew chief with a very icy cold glare. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of him." The glare was enough to cause his crew chief to stop in his tracks. "Okay...okay, man...just...watch yourself."
Glimmer sighed and made his way around the trailers toward #85's. Chances were that tow truck would be nearby.
((Do spectators watch qualifying too? Just checking.))

Joltsen saw the commotion at Glimmer's trailer, and saw what looked like to be graffiti on the trailer. "Oh boy." He muttered. On one hand, he could let what was about to happen, happen. On the other, he could try to get some answers before Glimmer would go where he was headed. He had seen earlier the Tuner Club, and it looked like Glimmer was going towards Kamui's pit, not Sapphire's. He shrugged, then turned towards Sapphire's pit.
When he got there, he stopped a car length behind Kamui. He announced his presence with a cough. "Kamui, it may be funny for you or Slick to deface other people's trailers, but the German is quite pissed off, and judging by the way he drives, either you or some unlucky S.O.B he blames for it is going to get it, bad."

"Whot?! Dat kin'dah?! Fin'e, fin'e, man. But I thoug'ht yar both wai'tin' fer da off seazon fer dat!" said Shroder, "Unlesz yar confuzin' me 'gain an' it'z sumthin' elze but ah still ah privet, man."
He looked a little confused as he let Slick passed.

"Well! Glad to see you back on your treads and looking forward to beating you on the track," said Kamui with a grin.
She then caught Sapphire looking passed her.
"There's something bad behind me, isn't there?" said Kamui.
She looked around as someone coughed loudly behind her. It was Joltsen.
"What? I didn't deface anyone's trailer. Last night, I was in my own trailer with my boyfriend!" said Kamui.
She looked back to Sapphire.

Joltsen was taken quite aback by her defence. He had actually expected her to tell what he thought was the truth, but since she had practically yelled being in a trailer with her boyfriend, and maybe in a earshot of the press, he figured he would give her the benefit of doubt.
"Alright, but the German does not think so. He is headed towards your pit. Whom should you be worried about? You, or someone in your fanclub?"

((Wait, Shroder's on Sapphire's team? X.=.x Plus, late edited previous post before Joltsen's so he heads for her trailer. It's nearer. =p Sorry for my habit.))

(((((OOC: Shroder is on Kamui's team. Kamui is just over in Sapphire's pit visiting. Shroder is at Kamui's trailer talking to Slick.)))))
"Yeah, I'm confusing you, Man," drawled Slick, "Actually, it's nothing like that. We were just having a little 'us' time and it somehow turned into game of tag."
The he just so happened to look over Shroder's roof to see Glimmer coming toward them.
"Uh... Shroder? The Frankenstein car is coming," he said, pointing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire was also looking at Kamui and then at Joltsen.
"What happened?"
And Ebony was thinking, I am NOT getting the blame for this, either.

((No, Joltsen had just seen Kamui by Sapphire's pit earlier. As far as I know, Shroder is with Kamui, unless I'm wrong))
"Someone tagged Glimmer's trailer." Joltsen quickly turned towards Sapphire to answer her. He figured he was confusing the heck out of all of them. "Graffiti"

One could imagine the Star Wars Imperial Anthem playing as a pitch-black(-frontsided) Piston Cup racer advanced slowly upon the gathering by Kamui's trailer, his expression so ominously stern. If one put their ECU to it they could humorously imagine the sound of his breathing, but the last thing they would want to do was express that humor in his presence lest they be submitted to the tire vice.
"Darth" Jens Glimmer came to a halt in speaking distance of the gathering. There were quite a few cars but he couldn't spot the one he wanted upon first glance.
"Which one of you is the 'shooter mutt's' tow truck?" he began in a cold voice, much like an icicle spear.

(OOC: Shroder's still with Team #85. Sorry for the confusion!)
"Tag? Whot da-?! Mkay... nev'rmin'd," said Shroder.
He then felt a cold chill behind him when Slick brought up 'Frankenstein car.'
"'Ee'z roight behin'd me, izn't 'ee?" Shroder squeeked.
He slowly went to glance in his rearviews.

Kamui looked at Sapphire confused.
"I have no idea what he's babbling on about. Your guess is as good as mine," said Kamui.
She looked back at Joltsen.
"Okay... what's that German up to and what the hell's going ON with this tagging thing? I'm royally confused!" said Kamui.

David visibly bristled at the German's tone, and pulled up between him and Anastasia, making her back up to avoid hitting him. The truck didn't like his attitude, and was more than ready to intervene should someone try something- or at least notify an offical.

"Tagging means writing a message on a flat surface so that someone will notice," explained Ebony, as she pulled up beside Kamui and Sapphire, "There's quite a lot of it from where I come from. So someone, I would guess, wrote a message on Glimmer's trailer and that's what's got him all out of whack about it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slick whispered to Shroder, "I think it's too late to hide."
Then he spoke aloud to Glimmer, "Who is this tow truck? What does he look like?"
Edison drew near, seeing a situation that would probably get out of tire, that he wasn't about to let happen.

Shroder was scared stiff.
He's going to kill me. He's REALLY going to kill me. I'm a dead man! Shroder thought.
He didn't dare move.
___________________________________
"Okay. That explains it. Thanks, Ebony," said Kamui.
She caught what Joltsen said about Glimmer versus a tow truck - Shroder. She rolled her eyes.
"I should'ov known he'd pull a stunt like this....." Kamui groaned.

"Well, whoever that tow-truck is, I wouldn't like to be him, Glimmer is very pissed off." Joltsen said. He paused for a moment. "But from what I have heard, I would rather be on Glimmer's bad side than yours. Some of the rumors I heard was that part of his front left side, by the tire was cut clean off."

"Well! Glimmer deserved it! Serves him right for being an idiot!" said Kamui.
She knew very well that Joltsen was refering to the Blade-fan damage she caused. When charged, it was a force to be reckoned with.

Shroder snuck off for a sec, got out his disguise kit from under his knit cap and dressed up as a female reporter. He went in to his high-pitched woman voice as he snagged an innocent bystander and began interviewing them.
