looked at the sky from which the sun banged down with what felt like 600 ° C. "... But here I need sun protection factor 3 million ..." - "That is quite possible, I am JD and this is my little sister Charly ...", the other one held out his hand and grinned when Nathe hit him. "Nathe ..." - "Is it that hot inside too?" - "Not soooo hot as here but ... yes, yes ..." - "Oh man ..."
Nathe went over to his Lotus and opened the driver's door to get in, start the engine and slowly drive into the warehouse, where the others seemed to be waiting for him and were quite surprised when two more cars came in behind him.
"Riku?" - "Hm?" - "I think I have a job ..." - "Right now?" - "No ... tomorrow ..." - "Will we take care of it afterwards?", Riku turned to the two newcomers . "And who do we have here?" - "I'm Charly and this is my brother JD ..." - "Okay ... I'm Riku ..." - "You are pretty old ..." - "Please what?" - "You are old ... "-" I'm 23 ... ", the Japanese was visibly confused by this conversation, he didn't know what the little Berliner wanted from him. But the Japanese didn't really have time to think about it or to continue the conversation, because barely a moment later the next of the 'guests' came, without a car - just like Nathe and Elli a few moments before.
"Kai!", The brunette gave the boy a stormy hug. "God it's hot here, man!" - "Hey Brini ...", the black-haired girl briefly picked up what had fallen around his neck and hugged her lightly."Fetch the car in if I may ask ..." - "No, you must not." - "I'll do it anyway ...", Kai let go of the smaller one and looked at her invitingly until she turned around and marched out again. But no sooner was she out the door than she stuck her head back in. "There's someone else coming back there ..." she said and then went outside for good.
"More?" - "... three more ..." - "God how many ..." - "If we do something, we'll do it right ...", Riku picked up Miu and looked at his buddy Beatz with a shrug.
Nobody knew whether Brini had been waiting outside for the other cars, or the others were just so close. In any case, the fact was that Lambrini didn't get in alone in her VW Golf GTI, but was followed by three cars, including two Porsches, one dark gray 911 gt3 rs and a white vrt 911 Turbo, as well as a black Honda Accord. As soon as the drivers got out, the discussion between the two of them started about who was faster. The third one just walked past the brawlers to Riku, greeted him with three kisses on the cheek and kissed Miu on the head.
"Viola ..." - "Riku ...", the blonde smiled at the older one, as if she had known him for years, not just for a few weeks. "How are you?" - "Damn hot and I've got the feeling since you've been here, it's got a few degrees hotter ... and how are you?" - "Great ...", the native Irishwoman laughed softly.
"Are we now complete?" This question silenced everyone, whether it was about introductions, nice small talk, a little flirt or who was faster, suddenly it was quiet, only the soft click of a keyboard and the screaming of one lonely vulture could be heard.
"Um ..." - "You said three more, there are three more ..." - "I think so ... Lia?", Riku looked for help at the only piece of furniture in the whole hall, the table at which Lia was sitting with her laptop . She looked up for a moment, but then looked down again.
"Why doesn't she speak?" - "She's shy you idiot ..." - "I'm just asking ...", Florence leaned against the hood of his car and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "And why is she wearing a jacket?" - "Ask her and not me ..."
Lia carefully brushed the pony out of her eyes, then scratched the back of her head a little thoughtfully and typed something again. "Lia, my darling? Aren't you talking to me anymore?" - "Yes ...", it would not have been largely quiet, one would not have understood the whisper that Lia replied, but since they all stared spellbound - which was the first The reason for the whisper was, you just understood it. "So we are complete?", Kai raked again, whereupon Lia just nodded absently.
"So, where is the boss?" - "I already told you, the boss is sitting at the desk ... should I really not write it down for you?" - "The child?Shouldn't she actually be in school? ", Gabriell looked incredulously from Nathe to Lia and finally to Riku." That's a bad joke ... "-" She must have a better school-leaving certificate than you ... "-" What does that mean now? "
"People ...", Kai finally intervened. "Take it easy, we are grown-ups, no quarrel ... it's hot and you have a long drive behind you, so it's understandable that the feelings are boiling a bit, but we still have to clarify a few things and that if possible without killing each other ... ", he looked around before he continued. "It's true, Lia is the boss, if you want to call it that. It was her idea and she organized the whole thing that way. She gives you your tasks and if you need anything you go to her. She is still young but she's a genius for that ... "
"I won't let a child tell me what to do and what not to do ..." - "Nobody is forcing you to stay here. We made you an offer, which you accepted. But you can get out at any time." , Riku looked around, where a general pensive silence fell.
"What exactly do we have to do?" - "Everyone has their own tasks, we have races, jobs in which we get things from A to B or C and for this we need sensible cars that are not only technically but also visually We can just make so damn much money with it that after half a year we will have had to use it for the rest of our lives ... "-" And she can help us? "-" Oh yes, she just has ten thousand addresses and she knows who needs what when and she can already assess you so well that she knows which job is best for whom of you. I mean ... she has found a warehouse in the middle of a desert where we are safe there are often problems with the cops, nobody is looking for us here ... ", Kai still had an arm around Brini's shoulder and the smaller one while he was talking.
"JD we're staying right?" - "Lotti ... I don't know ..." - "But I ... come on Jonny ... we are only here because of that ..." - "Still ...", JD looked at his little sister and was himself by no means sure about the whole thing.
"So we definitely stay, or Nathe?" - "Yes ..." - "That would give you a designer and a technical tuner ..." - "And in case the others pull in their tails, we can also drive ..." Nathe and Elenora were probably the only ones who were immediately sure that they were right where they were and that Lia was quite capable of what Kai and Riku expected of her.
Beatz took a sip of his Coke and rocked his head a little, as if he were hearing a melody deep down inside."I trust you Riku, that's why I'll stick with it ... but if that turns out to be a wrong decision, I'll be gone faster than you can see!" - "That's your right ...", Riku took the announcement very easily and waited patiently until the next one spoke.
The one, or rather the next one, was Viola, who only looked at Riku with her dark gray eyes and finally sighed. "As long as I don't have to let her tell me, I'll be there too." - "But you will have to let her tell you from time to time ..." Viola just shrugged her shoulders and pretended not to have the latter belongs.
"We can also go back first and ..." - "How to the back?" - "At the back there is something similar to an apartment that we have already equipped ... I need something to eat ...", Kai just went off and without waiting for anything Brini just pulled along.
The others followed hesitantly, not yet sure what to think of it. But when they entered the separated area, most of them changed their minds, if only because it was cooler there, there were no windows. To get into the living area, you had to go up two small steps, which were there to climb two steps after the door, the entire floor was actually nothing more than a wooden pedestal with linoleum in individual places, carpets and in the kitchen area. If you took a few steps you actually stood pretty much in the middle of the room, right next to the small staircase was a corner sofa with three sofas - different models, different colors, an armchair - which was patterned exactly like one of the sofas - and two bean bags , which brought another pattern into the mixed up color concept of the sofa corner, as well as a large flat screen TV and a coffee table. Behind it came the stairs under which - half hidden - was a large DVD cabinet. A door led into one of the bedrooms, which like the other two were on the lower floor and were to the right of the entrance, with a large double bed, a wardrobe, a small shelf and an armchair. Opposite the entrance there were three large desks, which were placed in a U and were delivered and laid out with all kinds of computers and paperwork. Right next to it was the large, dark kitchen, with a large stove, dishwasher and a large two-door refrigerator, as well as a large dining table. The stairs led to the first floor, where the large bathroom was, with five toilet cubicles, a very large mirror in front of which six sinks hung. In the large room there were five shelves for towels and other bathroom utensils. Two separate shower areas for men and women, each with five showers, as well as a corner bath and a whirlpool. There was also an unused room on the floor. Another staircase led to the second floor where there were nine more bedrooms, which were furnished exactly like the lower ones, except for the fact that 6 of them were only equipped with single beds."Where did the electricity and water come from?" - "Lots of solar cells and groundwater ..." - "How did you get all of this?" - "A lot of it was already here, the kitchen for example, we just got it clean done, the stove and the dishwasher replaced and ready ... the sofas were here, as well as the cupboards and the beds ... all that is new are mattresses and bed linen ... ", Julia looked at Kai, who
