not his first mate now novel Chapter 3

I couldn't stand everyone's attention on me and the king's beta, so the minute we hit the bottom and the crowd stormed in on us, I let him go and made my way through the crowd of people until I reached the back where a large table with food was standing. I smiled when I saw the salad sandwich with salami, I had to eat them.

"I'm glade you could make it Miss Martain." I look up to see Mr Cooper, the host for tonight. His grey hair was styles back away from his face and his grey eyes smiled down at me.

"it's a pleasure to be here sir." I say in a business like way, this seems to please him as he loops my arm through his and pulls me outside where a line of cars are sitting. All of which are the latest models out.

"I've noticed you have been fixing many newer model cars lately. " I nod to his question, he's right though, in the last six months I've had more newer type of vehicles coming into my shop the normal.

"and your painting designs on each car are very unique." I look up at him with a questioning look. I wasn't sure what he was getting at.

"what is it that your getting at Mr Cooper?" I told my hands behind me at my lower back as I give him a challenging stare.

"I have a few people who have asked about you doing their vehicles." and with that I new there was a but coming afterwards.

"but..."it took him a few seconds to answer my one question.

"these are no normal vehicles, they are made for specifically racing in the streets. Each driver wants there own hand painted design that has never been done before." slowly I walk down the Isle, staring at each car. each one was different and each one had its unique style and strength and yet the one thing that all had in common is that they have rich drivers who after twelve months changes there cars.

"I'll have to think about it and have a talk to my partner." that was the only answer I could really give him at the moment. I would have to talk to Mulan about this tomorrow and see what she thought of all of this. before we could say anything else someone decided to clear there throats. I new by there smell that it was the beta who was behind us.

"good afternoon beta Sanders, and how are you enjoying the show so far?" while Mr Cooper spoke I decided to make my way down the rest of the cars. in total I counted seventy cars, one row of new types and ones of old styles. I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face as I stared at the 1970 mustang in deep blue.

"this would have to be my next car." I shook my head at beta Sanders who was grinning at the car like he new it's dirty secrets.

"Are you following me Mr Sanders?" I enquire with a glare, slowly he turns to stare at me.
