Right after finding the two from central Euroupe, they are all trying to figure out where to go next. Michele put a map of the world on the table with locations of different sightings and then said, “Alright boys. We have plenty more places to go, so where to go next is your choice.”
Right before Mason and Nekomi reached their own conclusions, Seb immediately said, “France of course, it's my home.” Tommi and Kimi then just simply nodded their heads without saying anything.
Michele then said, “Great! We will go to France then, I’m French as well so why not. And you two will take the lead.”
Mason then muttered, “Umm… but…” Seb then just went up to him and said, “Look at me. I'm the captain now.” then left as he giggled to himself. Mason then yelled, “Oh come on! We will be the ones to choose next time, OK?”
After a few hours, they had just headed south to the alps on twisty mountain roads, crossing multiple borders and reaching the French part of the mountains.
Nekomi then asked, “So are you sure that one of them is in the mountains. Cause I see nothing special around here other than twisty roaaAAAA-”
Nekomi just encountered some ice on the road surface which made his car slip for a while before correcting it by instinct. “-And tons of ice, you know I hate icy surfaces.”
Tommi then said, “Well you should have come to Finland to practice with me, because you could have won in Monte Carlo if you know how to handle the ice. Besides, you crashed, don’t you remember?” Now everyone laughed except Nekomi who just felt embarrassed. Even the girls that just followed along heard it and giggled.
“In my defense, I was born in a hot country where it never snows. Also, it rarely snows in Britain.” Nekomi then replied.
“Hey, I think this is just the right place to practice driving in icy conditions. So Nekomi, how about you try to follow me as close as you can, I will only use like 70% speed just to make you get used to things.” Tommi then said.
Nekomi then agrees and they both start sliding on the icy roads. After just a few minutes an old blue car just followed them both and took notice of Nekomi who was in front of the blue car.
“Umm… Tommi it seems that we are not the only ones out here.”
“After a few corners we can probably get it off our tail.”
But somehow after a few corners, the blue car managed to keep on and it seemed like it wanted to race them both.
Tommi then asked, “Can you manage to see what car is that?”
“I guess it's a thing called an Alpine.” Nekomi replied
“A what?”
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
“A sporty Renault essentially.”
“Alright, if it wanted a race then so be it. Nekomi, just go as fast as you can, OK?”
“Alright then let's do it.”
They both pressed harder on the pedal and tried to race the Alpine. They all tried their best to get away, but somehow the blue car caught on. Slowly the Alpine even got closer to Nekomi’s car and overtook him. At that point when Nekomi got the chance to get a closer look on who was driving the car, he realized that there was no driver inside. Nekomi immediately called everyone else that he found another one.
“Wait what? Another one and it is now behind me? I need more info, you are the car expert here.” Tommi then told Nekomi through the phone.
“Small engine put in the middle, rear wheel drive, but extremely light.” Nekomi answered
“How light?”
“Same as a modern F1 car.”
“All I could do is to out drag it, but you know we are in the middle of a mountain road.”
“Just hold on alright, you are the ice expert here.” Nekomi then replied as others just laughed on Nekomi’s reply
These cars may be heavier, but as modern rally cars, they are all equipped with all-wheel drive. They can find grip where no other car could and accelerate out of corners earlier than anyone else. Tommi eventually holds on while Nekomi somehow manages to overtake the old blue car.
Eventually they all stopped over in a village around the bottom of the mountain. Both Nekomi and Tommi then went towards the blue car just to examine it as a flash of light appeared inside of the car, then a woman with glasses and a scarf walked out of the car appearing to be a bit tired. “Yawn~ It was fun, wasn't it. So, what made you all come to France?”
“It's for you Madame.” as Seb said as he proceeded to hold her hand and kissed it.
The woman then blushed and said, “Just call me Angeline, so you are the guys that are meant to find us right?”
“Well how did you know?” Nekomi then questioned
“It's easy, I can easily recognize some of my old acquaintances that are with you guys. So you must be Sierra right?” as she looks at Cossie.
“Nice try girl, but that is my mother. I am Cossie, she does have the same rear wing as me though.” As Cossie said
Then Angeline looked at Alice, “And you, you must be related to one of those 911 that the Germans have been talking about.”
“Well technically I am a special, called the 959. But you do recognise my sisters right? We are a big family so we can easily get confused with each other.”
“And you must be… hmm…” As she pondered as she looked at Katerina, “I may be incorrect but you seem to be born behind the iron curtain right.”
“Yes indeed my lady, I was born behind the perils of the curtain made out of iron under soviet rule, these Russians seem to have an extremely tight grip on things. Yet, I not only managed to survive, but thrive as I was considered to be the fastest one within said curtain, I even beat a Lada for crying out loud, I am of course one of the best in the east.”
“Yup those books to make you learn quite a lot actually, I might as well recognise some that I may have never seen before in my life. So you must be the Audi Quattro and the Ford RS200 am I right?”
Quattro and Clara both nodded her head.
“Well you all probably know that there are 2 more in this nation, but they don’t really like to meet new people. Glad I do keep in touch with both of them, so I can just introduce them to all of you if you want. But in the meantime, welcome to France you all.”
Now they were all glad to finally find another and finally find someone new, now they all went to a local restaurant to spend the rest of the day.
