Ext. - town outskirts - night.

Cars pull into an empty gas station. Jason and Nick soon enter with their cars. They park and wait outside their cars.

Nick

So this is your underground?

Jason

Yeah.

Nick

Not as big as I expected.

Jason looks at nick surprised.

Jason

Really?

Nick

Yeah.

Jason

This is pretty big.

Nick

Not as big as the one I came from.

Jason

And where was that?

Nick

A large city. We had probably twice the amount of cars.

Just as Nick says this, a large man walks up to Jason.

Jason

Hello Cameron.

Cameron

You ready to pay up?

Jason

Not really, I'm ready to be rid of your ass.

Cameron

We'll see.

Cameron turns around and walks off.

Nick

You owe him money?

Jason

Yeah.

Nick

But aren't your parents rich or something?

Jason

Yeah.

Nick

So why do you owe him money? Can't your parents pay?

Jason

Anything my parents pay, I have to pay them back.

Nick

Ah.

Jason

Well, better get over to the center, looks like they are about to start.

Nick and Jason walk over to where a group of people are beginning to form.

Cameron

Attention everyone! Let's begin.

A cheer comes through the crowd.

Cameron

The first race will be between me Jason, and two others. Who's interested? 200 entry.

Nicks hand shoots up.

Cameron

We have one, anyone else?

There is a long pause. Then a girl in the back raises her hand.

Cameron

Ah there we go.

Jason looks at nick.

Jason

What are you doing?

Nick

I came here to race. So I'm going to race.

Jason

Alright, fine.

Cameron

Alright, let's get this night started!

Cameron steps through the crowd towards Jason.

Cameron

(Gruffly)

Let's go.

Cameron walks over to his car and Jason walks to his. Nick stands and looks at Cameron for a moment, the  he walks over to his charger. He hops in and fires it up.

Nick

Gotta love that sound.

Cameron leads the group of four to the start line. A short girl walks up to each of the cars and collects the money.

Cameron

First one through town to the school wins.

Jason

You know the way nick?

Nick

Not off the top of my head.

Jason looks at Nick worriedly.

Nick

Don't worry. Cameron's running a supra, I can easily keep up with my engine.

Nick steps on the throttle and the charger roars. Jason smiles.

Starter

Let's get this race started!

Cameron

Your mine Jason.

Starter

3!

Jason revs his engine.

Starter

2!

Nick looks at Cameron.

Starter

1!

Cameron revs his engine, but nick easily drowns it out with the sound of the charger.

Starter

Go!

Jason dumps the clutch and slams the throttle. The firebirds tire lite up and Jason launches. Nick is already in the lead. Jason and Cameron are tired for second with the fourth driver closely behind. Cameron up-shifts and pulls away from Jason. Nick approaches the Corner. 

Nick

To fast.

Nick quickly kicks the clutch and puts the charger sideways. Cameron takes advantage of nicks mistake and passes him. Jason follows right behind Cameron and passes nick.

Jason

Sorry nick, this ones mine.

Nick regains control and fights for third with the other driver. Jason rides Cameron's bumper down the straight section. 

Cameron

Get off my tail!

Jason

Not gonna let you win Cameron.

The school fast approaches. Jason engages his nitrous. Just as he does, Cameron quickly swings in front of Jason cutting him off. Jason turns to avoid hitting Cameron. He barely misses hitting Cameron but losses control of his car.

Jason

Crap!

Jason's car spins around and slides off the road and into the ditch.

Jason

No!

Cameron drives into the school parking lot where people are waiting. Nick drives up and stops where Jason  drove into the ditch.

Nick

Jason! You alright?

Jason pulls himself out of the car through the window.

Jason

Yeah, I think so.

Nick

Hurry up and get over here. I think Cameron is coming back for you.

Jason

That can't be good.

Jason climbs the hill of the ditch to where nick waits. Jason looks down the road where headlights are coming towards them.

Jason

Get in the car!

Nick

What about your ride?

Jason

Forget it, it's not worth it.

Nick hops back into the charger and Jason climbs in beside him.

Jason

Get us out of here.

Nick

You got it.

Nick swings the car around and drives off away from the wrecked firebird.

Nick

What now?

Jason looks behind them where the headlights of Cameron's car have stopped at the wreck.

Jason

Doesn't look like he's following us.

Nick looks behind them to confirm.

Nick

Looks like it. So now what?

Jason

We need to get back to my place. I think the girls are still waiting for us to get back.

Nick

Alright.

Nick starts to head back towards Jason's house.

Jason

Make some random corners just to be safe.

Nick

Alright.

Nick makes some random turns and backtracks a few times just to make sure nobody is following them.

Jason

He's going to come after me next.

Nick

You can stay at my place.

Jason

That shouldn't be necessary. Cameron doesn't know my address I do t think.

Nick

Alright, my offer still stands though.

Jason

I appreciate it.

Nick once again heads towards Jason's house.
