Houston, 2017

“We need to leave, tonight. We can’t stay here.”

Dominic paced the garage’s loft office, sighing deeply. Everything that he and Miles had worked for was coming crashing down in a matter of days. The city was being told to evacuate, yet he and his business partner and closest friend Prince Miles decided to stay behind and ride out the storm. Forget the fact that their garage was filled with high-end automotive performance parts, forget the fact that their houses were already washed out, forget the fact that the majority of the income they had earned had gone to tuning their vehicles. No, none of that mattered, because Dominic’s stubbornness overrode the reality of the situation.

 

“I’ve been saying that for days, but you being you, you don’t listen.”

Prince spoke as he was stuffing his laptop in a backpack; the garage had a full loft above it. The loft housed an office room, two very small dorm-like rooms, and a medium sized gathering area on the platform. The two of them had used the garage as their home when the first swells of the storm had begun making landfall. They had packed up enough to live on as far as clothing and personal effects go, and had essentially “moved in” to the garage space.

 

“I’m listening now, man. The streets are going to be flooded. We won’t make it out of this city with any of our cars.”

The duo were notorious in the underground racing scene- both Dominic and Prince had both ripped off win after win in the grimey underworld. Racing for pinks, for cash, or just for glory, they found it difficult to turn down a race when the police presence in the city had clearly better things to worry about than two twenty-somethings in suped up automobiles.

 

“Let’s go, then. If we leave now and head directly west, the freeway will take us out along US 10. That’s a concrete bridge for a portion and should be elevated. It’ll take us into San Antonio and from there we can plan our next move.”

Dominic nodded his head to show Prince he agreed and left the room to pack his own bag. He didn’t bring much with him, simply because he didn’t own a lot outside of the shop and his cars. A laptop, some GoPros, and some clothing articles were all he took from his house before abandoning it for the garage. He had managed to fit near everything into one duffle bag,

A few hours later, they had managed to make their way onto Prince’s suggested US10. Dominic had chosen his prized possession, and realistically the only vehicle he had at that point that was running, his Bravado Banshee. Dominic had poured his heart, soul, and a commanding percentage of his wallet into the beauty of a car, making it a renowned vehicle. It was red with a black stripe, sleek, and sexy. The body’s curves imitated that of a woman’s, giving off an air of desire to anybody who gave it a passing glance. This was Dominic’s baby.

Prince, on the other hand, had taken his reliable and well-fitted Ubermacht Sentinel XS. This car had taken Prince to hell and back, and had given him everything back that he had given to the car. Prince had a firm love for his vehicle but wasn’t enraptured by the Sentinel in the same way that Dominic was with his Banshee. Prince’s ultimate goal was something faster; as most racers strive for.

The two of them made a short stop in San Antonio, topping off on gasoline, coffee, and Red Bull. They had consulted a map, and decided on the state of San Andreas as their next resting point. Every highway sign had a direction for Los Santos, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. They had three to choose from, and ultimately, the City of Saints is where the arrow struck.
