Summary

Six friends—two girls and four guys—spend their nights cruising through the city in their luxury cars, attending underground car meets, showing off their builds, and chasing the thrill of the nightlife. To them, it’s all about friendship, fast cars, and unforgettable nights. But one night, after leaving a massive car meet, they take a wrong turn and accidentally cross paths with one of the most feared and powerful gangster bosses in the city. What begins as an innocent mistake quickly turns into a dangerous encounter when the friends realize exactly who they’ve bumped into. With their lives suddenly tangled in a world of wealth, power, secrets, and danger, the six friends find themselves caught between wanting to return to their normal lives and becoming involved with a man whose influence reaches far beyond the city’s streets. As they discover that their accidental meeting may not have been an accident at all, their friendship—and their loyalty to one another—is put to the ultimate test.

Chapter 1

As we get ready for a wild night, my friends Danny, Ethan, Katlynn, John, and Alex buckle up and get ready to attend one of the biggest car meets ever.

As I get into my custom black GTR, I set off to meet the group beforehand. As I pull out of my driveway, I call Katlynn, my best friend, who has been there for me since day one.

“Hello,” Katlynn answered.

“Hey, are you on the way to the group meetup?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’m about ten minutes out,” she replied.

“Okay, I just left my house. I’ll be there soon,” I said before hanging up.

As I’m driving, I look at the clock on my dash.

1:30 a.m.

“Damn, not as late as I expected,” I say to myself.

I stop at a local gas station five minutes from the group meetup. As I walk inside, I see a tall man with black hair, a clean-shaven face, and all-black clothing. Not thinking much of it, I walk up to the register and pay.

I make it back to my car, and as I’m filling up, I get the feeling that someone is staring at me. Sure enough, I look up, and about 200 feet away is the same tall man, staring directly at me.

Feeling a bad vibe, I reach into my car and grab my phone.

I dial John, someone I knew would fuck someone up real quick, especially when it came to his group.

“Hello,” John answered.

“Hey, John,” I replied.

“What’s going on? Are you okay?” John asked firmly.

“Yeah, just getting gas before I meet up with the group,” I replied.

“Oh. What gas station?” he asked.

“The Marathon on Bar Street,” I said quietly.

“Okay, I’ll be there in a minute,” he said before hanging up.

If I’m not mistaken, he could hear the fear in my voice.

A few minutes went by, and I see John pulling up next to me. He gets out and gives me a hug.

Immediately after giving me a hug, he spots the tall man who is still staring at me. John looks at me and knows exactly why I called him.

As a twenty-three-year-old girl who rides around doing illegal stuff with her friends, you would think I’m stronger than I look. Well, I am. I just never show it.

As I finish filling up, I hop back into my car, and I hear John yell something.

“I’ll follow you,” John said.

I nod my head and head toward the group.
