Although, she could handle herself on straight roads, Ebony wasn't sure that she would be able to take the curves without some effort. Her brother had warned her about exerting herself too much and wouldn't be happy if she just happened to fall ill again. It happened occasionally.
Yet, this was a race that she was in and she put on a little gas to keep up, not wanting to be left behind so suddenly. She wanted to prove that she was just as capable at taking curves as any other tuner.
This time, she concentrated fully on taking the next curve instead of having to worry what would happen to her if she didn't pay attention.

Phoenix pulled out of the last curve and the road straighened out again. She could still hear Ebony behind her.

Suddenly, Ebony had an idea as the road straightened. She activated her nitrous and shot forward, blue-black flame coming out of her exhaust pipes.

Phoenix blinked as Ebony shot past her. She resisted the urge to use her own small nos tank. She floored it and but her speed to the test.
(((Got to go to work be back on tonight, so please puppet. Laters.)))

Using the nitrous had been a good idea, indeed. Ebony shot past Phoenix like a black and purple fury and notched up some distance between them. Good thing that the road was deserted or she wouldn't be able to use the nitrous at all.
She packed up more speed as the push of the explosive liquid pushed her almost up to 100 mph. The Viper only took a very brief glance in her rearview mirror to see that Phoenix was attempting to keep up with her.
Once she reached the perimeter of Nitropolis city limits, Ebony broke off the nitrous and began to slow down. Being caught by some thrill-seeking cop was the last thing that she wanted to have happen to her or Phoenix. She signaled to the Trans Am to slow down as well.
"What is it?" asked Phoenix as she pulled up, "Why'd you stop the race? We were just getting started back there."
"Yes, but we're closing in on the perimeter of the city limits and sometimes the cops hang about here to catch speeders," answered Ebony, "Let's not let that happen to us."
Phoenix pursed her lips, but she nodded, "Alright. But what now?"
"Let me send out a signal to Boost and we'll meet somewhere where we won't get caught," answered Ebony, as she punched in the number to her brother's cell.

-Thing was irritably listening to his police scanner. No reports of Tony Blitz's location yet. He was getting impatient. He looked at the name carved into his hitlist, and narrowed his eyevisors. That little tuner had made Thing more angry than he'd been in years, and he wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was that Thing couldn't stand arrogance.-

After getting a call from Ebony, Boost headed off to the secret location that his sister had indicated that they meet to discuss what they were going to do if they happened to encounter Tony Blitz again. It was at one of the city's lone, run-down parks that had once been well-maintained before the Street Wars began and it was where he used to take Ebony to play when she was younger.
~~~~~
Tony Blitz was careful to stay out of sight as he made a wide circle around Nitropolis, also having listening in to the police scanner that he had stolen from a cop that he severely beaten up and put in the hospital. He found out about the APB on him and thought that it was a bit curious and funny that these cops would want to search for him, even when his actions were not even known to the city authorities yet.
Perhaps that Viper had something to do with it, he thought as he continued to stay out of sight, but was beginning to develop some plans to do away with that troublesome tuner girl once and for all.

"So now what do we do after we meet up with your brother?" Phoenix asked.

"That still remains to be seen," answered Ebony, "but it depends what kind of event that we run into at the time."
She could hear Boost's engine approaching and his scent getting stronger. The purple Viper appeared around a street corner and headed straight toward the meeting place.

"So take it as we come then," Phoenix said as she scented Boost. "There's your brother."

Boost approached to two girls with a serious look on his front. "Lemme guess. It's about Tony Blitz, right?"
"Yeah," Ebony nodded, "We got Shale to put out an APB on him and keep a lookout just in case that Supra shows his face around here."
"You're pulling Shale in?" asked Boost, "Wouldn't that cause Tony to lay low for awhile?"
"It would, but if you remember the heightened senses that helos have, he wouldn't be able to escape Shale's searches for very long," said Ebony.
"Ah, I see," nodded Boost.

"And hopefully keep him from causing to much trouble," Phoenix said.

"Yeah, but just wait until he makes a mistake and slips up," said Ebony, "and then we'll catch him unawares and have him at our mercy."
Boost nodded in agreement with his sister, but had noticed a change in her at the mention of Tony. Almost as if she wanted the Supra's oil.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, Ebs," sighed Boost, "In the meantime, why don't we just cruise for awhile and see what we can find for fun?"
"I'm sorry," replied Ebony, "I guess I can get wrapped up in whatever's bothering me, don't I?"
"Yes, but try to lighten up a bit," said Boost, "I know our life situation may be hopeless, but I don't like seeing you in such a morose mood."
"Okay, I can try, but I don't guarantee anything. The cruising idea sounds fun, however," said Ebony.
