A Mazda Rx-7 sped down the dimly lit road slamming up gears every few seconds it's speed steadily increasing. By this time Roxy had her foot on the floor pushing the car to it's limits. A little harder than usual to control because of the wet roads and rain pelting down in the windshield but she still held it in line and kept her foot down. A hard right hand turn sent her into a deserted parking lot, there weren't many people around at this time of night, they were all with friends of family but Roxy was exactly where she wanted to be. A quick flick of the steering wheel and the car screeched to the side and came to a halt perfectly in line between the parking space lines.
Jumping out of the car she lifted the hot hood and glanced inside at her over heating engine, it wasn't the end of the word, she just needed more water in it...which shouldn't have been hard in this weather. She glanced up and just that moment the Skys began to clear and once more the star filled night sky could be seen. As always the sound of another high speed car coming down the road distracted her and she turned her attention to the roads.

-Preston rumbled down the road in his 2004 Shelby Concept the speed sending the air sweeping over the streamline body like a bullet in the night, he was almost unnaturally quick on the stick never missing a gear as he roared down the city street. The tires skidding like a skipping rock over the wet street , he noticed off to the side a parking lot so he quickly spun the wheel the tail of the car swinging wide Preston pulling the E-brake then releasing it allowing the torque to kick throwing it forward. Preston would slow to a crawl moving by the Mazda RX-7 parked within a young woman standing near it that he would glance to through the windshield and give a nod before parking his vehicle and getting out. -
-Preston would then walk over to the safety barrier and look out into the night sky with a smile breathing in some of the fresh night air, he would then turn and walk towards the young woman giving both her and her car a once over before cracking a welcoming Irish grin.-
“ Nice night Aye Lass?.. Thas a good lookin car yeh got yerself there.”
- He would turn back to the barrier and continue looking out into the sky peering at the stars.-

Her cold blue gaze followed the guy as she remained silent, as he walked to the barrier to look at the sky she took her change to glance over her ride and smiled a little skimming it with a skeptical eye although no faults could be found in the car. Her brother had once owned a 93' Shelby but the newer ones looked so much more graceful and smooth to ride, it wasn't your typical boy racer car. Her attention was drawn when he spoke and she gave a soft smile taking note of his accent. It was pretty obvious he wasn't born and raised here, Roxy herself had still kept to her Canadian accent even though she had moved away from Toronto several years ago it was still as strong as the day she had moved.
"It is now." She said referring to the weather as it was just raining moments ago, she liked rain but not when it pelted down and you would find yourself soaked within seconds of stepping foot outside. "Thanks." she said gracefully and returned the comment. "That's the 2004 model right?" she said questioningly, she had seen the newer 2005 model with only a few people, it was out of mosts price range but it was hell of a car.

- Preston would glance to the young woman then over at his car and smile.-
“Aye.. Tis the 2004 concept houses the prototype 427 cobra jet.”
- He would stretch taking in yet another deep breath of night air .-
“ So what brings yeh out teh an abandon parkin lot in the middle of the night lass?”
-He would look around the area then glance back up into the sky.-
“Aside from the view of course.”

"Not many other places to go, cops are littered everywhere els." She said simply her thoughts still focused elswhere as she her gaze continued to skim once more over his ride. Turning her attention back towards him she smiled a little looking up at the sky. It was beautiful thet she couldn't deny. "I'm Roxy by the way." She said trying to make futher conversation not based on the weather.

-He chuckled slightly and looked to the ground placing his hands to his hips and grinding the toe of his right boot to the ground with a slight scrapping noise echoing in the night .-
“Meh names Preston lass, folks on the streets call meh “The Professional” ,nice teh be meetin yeh Roxy.”
-He would scratch his chin and give a yawn before rolling his shoulders and cracking his knuckles, he would look at her and send out a soft smile speaking.-
“Don’t worry lass , I’m not goin teh jump yeh or anythin poppin meh knuckles and such is just getting teh be a reflex action these day’s.”

She laughed at his last comment, to be honest the thought hand't even crossed her mind infact her mind was still playing on his name. She sat back against the hood of her car, brushing a few stray strands of hair away from her eyes she tilted her head a little to the side and looked at him with an inquisative expression. "The professional as in driver or something els?" Roxy wasn't the sort of person to talk non stop, everything she said was always something that was relevant and only after a few drinks would she start to loose the link between her mind and her mouth.

-He would pass a glance over to Roxy and smirk before speaking in a confident tone.-
“The Professional, as in I do what I do well. Anything I do.”
- He would softly chuckle and step profile to her reaching into his pocket and pulling out a packet of lucky strikes, he would slide one from the package and placed it between his lips removing a Zippo from his pocket flicking it open and igniting the cigarette. The end burned cherry red in the twilight and he stood silent for the time being exhaling some smoke.-
