New Beginnings (Part Two)
A few weeks have passed when Jay called Lexi, in a very serious tone, he said "It's time. It's time for your first meeting in BSB. I'll be around your place in 15 minutes to pick you up." When she arrived, she saw all the boys lined up, waiting for Harry, Jay, and Bruce to start speaking. She just quietly waited next to Jay's car as she was unsure of her place in BSB.
Just a few moments later, Harry looked over at her and said "Why are you standing over there?" Lexi responded, "I just didn't know if I was allowed to listen in on the meeting..." Harry quickly snapped back, "Are you wearing green?" She nervously answered, "...Yes sir..." Almost before she could even finish speaking he said, "Then you're one of us! Get in line." This was the moment that Lexi truly knew that she belonged.
A day or so passed and word traveled quickly. The infamous Christopher Bridge was back in the city. All members were called to a meeting spot where Chris, Harry, Jay, Bruce, and many other members were waiting. Lexi just thought to herself, this is it. Is this the official return of the notorious BSB. Nervous throughout the meeting, they finally got to the ranks, and they started announcing who the current and incoming Prospects were. That is when Lexi heard her name. She knew it was coming but she was still shocked when she heard her name thinking, "That is it. I am an official Prospect of BSB. It's time to make my mark."
The next day Lexi was cruising around on her Shinobi trying to sort the thoughts in her head when she heard over the radio “I need back up at airport scrap, Royal’s are scouting the area, I’m chopping their bike.” She burns rubber going straight for Eclipse Tower to get her strap where she sees Jay and Opal in his Kamacho. She quickly hops in and they get going. When they were about a mile out, Jay turns back to them and says “Put your masks on and be ready.”
Just as the words leave his lips, you hear shouting over the radio “SHOTS! SHOTS!” A shiver shoots down Lexi’s spine and her body begins to fill with adrenaline. It is like she snapped back into reality and knew exactly what to do. She loaded the clip into her .50 and cocked her gun. She holds it firmly in her hand and once they arrive, she swings her car door open and starts sprinting, her heart beating out of her chest.
She spots her first target, gets behind the only cover she could get to, and started letting off shots, pulling her finger back with determination every time to take the man in blue down. That is when two more of them come out from behind cover and she hears Jay behind her scream “PULL BACK! PULL BACK!” Lexi runs back to cover where Opal and Barker are. The four of them now regrouped push up together laying lead into their victims.
Moments later over the radio you hear a voice anxiously say “COPS! COPS! COPS!” Jay quickly responds, “Leave them! Get back to the vehicles! Go go go!” Lexi uses all the power in her body and sprints back to the Kamacho, as she can hear the shots wizz past her. They quickly check the area for any of their injured before they zoom off, after a brief chase with PD they head down route 68, Lexi thinks, if any PD is coming, they could be coming up this road. She quickly tells Jay “Turn off here toward the oil fields.” Just moments after they turn off, you can see three cruisers in the rearview mirror heading in the direction they came from.
They finally arrive back at Eclipse where they change vehicles. They say their parting words to each other and go their separate ways. Lexi heads up to her apartment and takes a seat on her couch just letting all of the emotions absorb her. She falls into deep thought about the day she had seen Opal again. Their laughter together and the shared memories. If only Lexi knew the significance this one interaction would have and how it would impact her life to come…
