It seemed every other time, their respective elder brother forbid them from mingling, much less look their way. Though it was the very reason that one of Mark's crew snitched on Trey for supposedly racing with Tiny, cut their night short. It seemed Mark had his younger brother practicing early in the morning for the quarter-mile drag&nbsp; race. She tried to sneak out of the garage, but Raymond was quick to pull her back in, as his crew was practicing in various sessions as well. She was tasked with watching everything so that nobody had bright ideas in sabotaging the competition.<br><br>It was around lunchtime did Nikki get her chance to leave the garage. Instead of heading straight to the rows of food trucks, she headed to the paddock area, a sort of open-air garage that didn't give the protection from the beating sun that a regular garage would. But it was closer to the track, giving that convenience that the permanent location of a garage could provide. Nikki neared the McCarthy car trailers and found a familiar Hemi Cuda with a guy with a lot of hair working on it. It was none other than Trey. Maybe it would've been a good idea to get him lunch, since he did look like he was in need of some food. The sweat on his head was clear sign that he had been out here for a while. She wonder what was wrong.<br><br><strong>“Hey Trey,'</strong>' she called out and walked over to him and his car. <strong>“Anything wrong?”</strong>

Did you get the new Hoosiers on earlier?&nbsp; How are my tire pressures?”&nbsp; Molly’s voice carried back into the trailer.&nbsp; A moment later, a response came. <br><br>“Yeah!&nbsp; You’re good to go.&nbsp; Would I ever let you take this monster out if it wasn’t in top shape?&nbsp; Before I left to come down here I changed all the fluids, swapped out the spark plugs and retentions all the belts.&nbsp; If you don’t win, it won’t be the car’s fault that’s for damn sure! Your tires are fresh and have the proper pressures.”<br><br>Molly laughed and dropped her helmet and HANS device into the driver’s seat.&nbsp; Heading back into the trailer, she pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and cracked it open.&nbsp; Hydration had been drilled into her by her HPDE instructors since the very beginning.&nbsp; Dehydrated drivers made poor decisions and and poor decisions got you in trouble.&nbsp; Looking out into the brightening sunlight, she say Paul under the hood of he Z and wondered what he was up to. She did most of the fabrication and development work....but Paul took care of the maintenance.&nbsp; Truth be told, she’d be lost without him.&nbsp; She had so much work to do that a lot of times she didn’t have time to do the upkeep on her cars.&nbsp; <br><br>Leaning back, she rested against the counter and set her water down.&nbsp; She rubbed her face a bit, feeling the cool water that was on her hands.&nbsp; Every time she came to the track it was the same thing.&nbsp; Excitement that kept her up late the night before followed by a long day and crashing the next night.&nbsp; Last night she’d been too hyped up to sleep and she’d stayed out far too late.&nbsp; Good thing the adrenaline always kicked in after the started up the car.<br><br>Today was going to be a long day though.....

Once Nikki got near Trey, she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and guessed, "Maybe it's your nerves, Trey. It's affecting you. This race you're racing, it's like it's for your brother's approval, maybe. Why don't you take a water break and maybe I could find out what's wrong. Just no promises. I don't carry a turbo in my pocket." She would gently push him towards the water cooler and if he resisted, she'd push with more gusto.<br><br>Looking at the engine, she had no clue where to start. In fact, most of the engine was very analog and the only electrical part was the spark plugs. She turned a couple spots down the paddock and found a lady in half of a fire suit looking like she was chilling after a couple hours of racing. She waved her along and called out once Trey was out of earshot. "Hey Molly! You know engines, right?" she asked, presenting her the engine of Tray McCarthy once she was near. "I'm pretty sure it's the heat affecting his shifting, but maybe there's a little tweak that you can do to help him out?"<br><br>But seeing Trey come back with water in hand and stress on his face, she fiddled with the engine randomly as if to bless it for his upcoming race. "<em>She</em> just needed some alone time, Trey," Nikki said with a chuckle. She stopped Trey from coming any closer to the Cuda, but her move inadvertantly caused the both of them to get rather close to each other. Nikki's hands were awkwardly on his chest, which she awkwardly reeled back to settled behind her back. "Just relax and think about only getting those perfect shifts and you'll win it." Hopefully her pep talk allowed Molly to do any other tweaks before she closed the hood.<br><br>Nikki stepped back as she saw Marcus approach from their RV.
