The Asphalt Lab; June 25, 2018; 1400 hours; Cloudy

Me: Alright. If the Ford is indeed coming then it would be my getaway ticket. The moment I am waiting for. By the way, any idea if the goons know what happened to Anais?

Black Knight: So far no red flags have been raised at the Vivendi headquarters. After the R&D of the Ford, what is your plan?

Me: Same plan as I intended- isolate my garage and leave. Though, there would be an extra twist if some cars' events are released after the Ford R&D. I have full intention to drain my resources to zero before leaving, so that I have absolutely no reasons to come back. After all, I cannot swap my credits and tokens into currencies for non-Asphalt usage.

Black Knight: That is why I detect you back in the labs.

Me: I have just went through the third lab. Not much of a fuss.

Black Knight: By the way, what is that twist you are talking about?

Me: I will request the Halo Squad to retrieve any cars of this update that I have not obtained yet, if the Ford R&D comes before them. That way, I can make sure Vivendi will not make any profit though the cars that were to be sent to my garage. This will allow me to get the cars WITHOUT delaying my departure.

Black Knight: I just hope I make it before mid-August, since the riots have now affected the eastern-most portion of AsphaltLand, and they have affected two of the race tracks.

Me: I bet the new Showdown mode caused this-

Black Knight: You are wrong about that part. The Showdown mode did generate some controversy, but it can easily be ruled out.

Me: I gotta get back to my squad and send them the news. I will just see if the getaway plane had packed up the music files.

Black Knight: Seriously, I would not recommend listening to music in the cockpit, unless you have that particular headset that allows ATC transmissions to override the music.

Me: I have been using that kind of gadget all this while, so not a problem for me.

Black Knight: Well, I cannot stop you. Just be prepared to have your pilot's license revoked by the FAA if you end up causing a major incident.

Me: I will bear that in mind. Now let me speak to my jet, and my squad- never mind. The conversations can wait.

Black Knight: Actually I am done. I will continue monitoring the situation in AsphaltLand.

Me: I gotcha. Sending transmissions to N801NW Just wanna confirm if all 125 songs I have selected are able to be played within the 6 hour journey, excluding the takeoff and landing phase.

N801NW: I have bad news regarding this one. Only a maximum of 102 songs can be played during the entire journey, and even then, your music would be bound to be interrupted by incoming transmissions.

Me: I expect 100 to be just enough. resending the list

N801NW: calculating total duration I expect this list to be able to be played fully. And yes, I heard that the Ford GT is coming, which means I will have to come in soon. Though, there is a potential obstacle.

Me: What?

N801NW: N389AA and 9M-MRD have picked up some indications that Vincent knew Anais was killed by Azelfland, but since her corpse was found in Lexington Park, Vincent thinks YOU are the one that killed her.

Me: Crap. I knew Azelfland made a fatal error when he killed Anais. Anyway thanks for the input. I better let my 4-man squad know about this. And pretend like we don't know each other, until I see the window of opportunity to leave.

N801NW: I got what you mean. And do you plan to start another career when you get home?

Me: Nope, not at all. I just have too many other priorities to handle, to the point racing no longer has a place in my timetable. I don't plan to start another career, unless motorsport no longer focuses on those pink slips and size comparisions. But even then, I have a lot of things that will bar my career, so I better not attempt one.

N801NW: I copied that. Stay safe. I'm out.

Me: I'm out as well. keeping my phone I knew Azelfland's dark form would invite trouble the minute he deactivated Anais. facepalms I better get working on the Vantage and hope no surprises turn up.

Transylvania Castle, 1900 hours, drizzling

Me: Guys, I think we have some good news, and some bad news.

Douglas: The good news being the Ford GT coming here?

Me: As far as I know, yes. Time to kick some Vivendi goons as soon as the car is done.

Margaret: Bad news? We have to wait for another two months?

Me: I have no idea when will the Ford be coming, but I hope it comes soon. For whatever reason, Vincent knows that Anais is killed. But since Azelf killed Anais at my garage in Lexington Park, Vincent is now putting us under his crosshairs.

Kimberley: Ouch.... I have expected this to happen. But where did you get that info from?

Me: The A330 that we would be using got this information from a Boeing 767 and a Boeing 777, which happened to pick up some transmissions from another VVS operations centers.

Margaret: That means we would get all the heat closing in.

Me: Which means we better make sure we have a large supply of ammunation for whatever guns we are using.
