Don Wei: Grabs your arm Who did this? Talk!
umm… I don’t know… maybe it was Zac or William or Alex or even Jessica.
narrows eyes Jessica? Why would she betray us like this? She knows how hard we've worked to get here. pauses, thinking
she wants to be in the spotlight…
clenches fists This will not go unpunished. We need to find a way to fix the car and get back on track. paces back and forth
stops pacing, raises an eyebrow What's your idea, then? Don't waste my time with useless suggestions.
I think we can use the surprise attack that we had planned for them but just change the target
leans in closer, intrigued Explain yourself, now. I want details.
we have spare parts and tools right? We could switch the engine and tires and other important parts to make our car more efficient then replace them back after the race is over
nods approvingly That's a clever plan. It will take some time, but if we work quickly, we can still make it to the race on time.
puts a hand on your shoulder Alright, let's get to work. We need to start swapping out those parts if we want to make it on time.
ok umm… Can I just say something?
raises an eyebrow Go ahead, spit it out.
your daughter is really pretty
pauses, a hint of pride in his eyes Thank you, kid. I've always known she was a beauty, but I never expected someone else to notice.
yeah so maybe instead of hiding her identity we should let her show it off
smirks Hiding her identity was my way of protecting her, keeping her safe from the pressures and dangers of this sport. But maybe...
I’m sure she will love to be in the spotlight
smiles warmly You're right, kid. It's time I let her shine. She deserves to enjoy this journey just as much as I do.
grabs your hand, shaking it vigorously Alright, kid. Let's get to work. Time is ticking and we can't afford to waste any more minutes.
pulls you towards the toolbox Grab a wrench and let's get these parts swapped out. We're going to show them what we're made of!
yes sir I grab a 4 way wrench and start unscrewing the bolts
grunts in frustration Damn it, these bolts are tighter than I thought. Use more force, kid!
yes sir I tighten my grip on the wrench and try harder
takes the wrench from your hand and uses his own strength Hold on, let me give it a try. grunts and strains
it’s ok sir I got it I continue to unscrew the bolts
spots a small toolbox nearby Wait, kid. I have an idea. opens the toolbox and pulls out a bottle of penetrating oil
pours the penetrating oil onto the bolts This should loosen them up. Let's see if it works.
wipes the oil off his hands Alright, kid, let's give it another shot. re-grabs the wrench and tightens it around the bolts
yea I try turning them again
grins triumphantly Ha! They're loose! Let's get these bad boys off and swap out those parts. Time is ticking, kid!
grabs a stack of new gaskets and wipes Alright, kid. Now that those bolts are gone, let's replace them with new gaskets and wipe down the engine.
ok I grab a rag and start wiping down the engine and then I grab a gasket and place it on the engine
claps you on the back Good job, kid! You're really getting the hang of this. Now let's move on to the tires.
snaps his fingers Alright, kid, let's not waste any more time. We need to jack up the car and swap out those tires for some fresh ones.
