The Fastest Kiss - part seven (the last one)
It has been 3 and a half miles, Thomas is now just 50 meters behind him, but isn’t getting anymore closer to him. Clarice calls him on the radio:
- What’s your speed?
- 350 Km/h! For the love of God I’m almost dirtying my pants!
- Hold steady Thomas, now you must push the black button, and turn off the engine of the car, when I say it.
- WHAT? Turn it off? Are you insane?
- Just do it, without further questions. If you don’t do that after pressing the button, the engine will explode.
He pushes the button. The car trunk’s door slowly opens, revealing what’s inside. Suddenly, an explosion is heard, and Thomas feels something pushing the car forward even faster. By the side mirror, he sees a huge tail of fire getting out of his car.
- Turn the engine off! – Clarice said, at the same time that Thomas did it. – Thomas, this thing behind you is a rocket propeller adapted in the back of the car. The high temperatures won’t affect you, because you are protected with thermal isolant composites. It’s sort of a ceramic material, the same used by NASA.
- Oh my God! Do you want to kill me?
350... 360... 380... 400 Km/h, his speed continues rising, approaching Rabbit very fast.
- Now Thomas, when you overtake Rabbit’s position, go very close of him, to burn him like a chicken!
And so Thomas did it. In a blink of an eye, Rabbit sees what was going to be a victory, turning into a nightmare. The fire from the rear of Thomas’s car somehow gets Rabbit’s, spreading it through the vehicle quickly. Thomas looks the mirror again; he is being pursuit by a fireball.
- What’s going on? Rabbit is literally burning.
- Let’s just say that his car wax was a little bit modified, with some flammable substances. Marcus has done a fine job on that.
Thomas crosses the finish line, looking the fire rabbit behind him exploding and falling of a cliff. Clarice’s revenge is done.
- I’ve crossed the line, now how am I supposed to stop the car? It is 500 Km/h!
- Release the black button.
By doing it, the rocket stops to work and three parachutes open, slowing his speed until it stops.
- Thomas, now you need to get away of it, before the air around you gets too hot to breathe. I’m going there, just wait for me.
She gets there, just some minutes later, with the winning prize on her hands.
- Here, this is for you, 5000 dollars.
- Thank you very much. Now, what are you going to do?
- I’m going back to France. Marcus will help me with it.
Thomas gives her a ride to the docks, while Marcus drives the rocket-car to there.
- I think it’s time to say good bye. You’ve been so kind to me, how can I ever pay you back?
- It was my pleasure.
She looks deeply in his eyes, slowly gets up from the wheelchair, falling in his arms. Then, like if it has been written by someone else, they kiss each other, under the sunrise in the sea, and she goes away, while Thomas stand still, looking to her leaving and wondering why he could let his love go away so easily.
- What’s your speed?
- 350 Km/h! For the love of God I’m almost dirtying my pants!
- Hold steady Thomas, now you must push the black button, and turn off the engine of the car, when I say it.
