Veronica's POV

Braedey is the best man that a girl could ask for. He has been taking great care of me. He is so gentle and firm with his hands. His sister's would usually come out into the garage to help him. I believe their names are Karen and Jessie. The girls like me, and I like them. But I can't let them know who I am. Braedey is the only one who knows of my past, and I would rather keep it that way for now. I love Braedey, and I am excited to live in Jamaica with him. But then I remembered those other boys who tried to get Braedey in trouble with the law via street racing. I could tell that one of them did not want to go through with their leader's plan, but he probably obeyed him because of fear for his life. I think his name is Ren. The other two boys were named Zach and Dagger. I think Dagger is the leader of the trio, and Zach is his right-hand man. Dagger probably forced Ren to work for him under the threat of killing the latter if he refuses. I could also tell that Zach was lying when he said that he did not want to go through with Dagger's plan. Those boys had better watch their step because next time, I will make them wish that they went to jail for life.

Later that evening, Ren and Zach were at the police station, waiting for Dagger. They were sitting in Ren's car which was a 1969 Dodge Charger RT.

"I wonder what his punishment is going to be. I sure hope it's something good." Ren said.

"I agree. I think some jail time will do him some good." Zach replied.

Then Dagger came outside and he was raging mad. He got hit with his license being suspended for three years, followed by sixteen months of community service.

"That bad, huh?" Zach asked.

"If that idiot had raced me, none of this would've happened. He wrecked my car." Dagger answered.

"Actually, you wrecked your own car. Braedey is smarter than you, and he knew there were cops watching us, you didn't." Ren replied, demonstrating clear disagreement with his boss.

Dagger glared at him.

"No. I am going to make him pay for this. Now drive, you disrespectful son of a bitch." He said.

Ren silently obliged and drove to the Martins' house. Braedey was in the kitchen with a mug of hot coffee. He was still working on a plan of how to travel to Italy and bring Veronica back to life. Braedey is a man of his word, and will do anything under the nose to keep a promise. Dagger and his goons backed into the driveway. They got out of Ren's car and went to the garage. Dagger smashed the lock with a sledgehammer and opened the door. He stormed into the garage with the sledgehammer in hand.

"I don't know about this, man. We shouldn't mess with a man's car." Ren said.

But Dagger was too stubborn and hardheaded to listen.

"Don't be a pussy. Martin wrecked my baby, he deserves to suffer for this." He said.

"No, actually Dagger, Ren is right. Braedey will not be happy when he sees that we destroyed his car. In fact, he might kill us." Zach replied.

Dagger glared at his right-hand man.

"If you two aren't gonna help me, then I'll do this myself." He said.

Dagger raised the sledgehammer and smashed the windshield with tremendous force. Ren and Zach shrugged and decided to help him since they knew Dagger would murder them if they refused. Ren grabbed a crowbar while Zach got a tire iron. They dented and damaged every part of the car, until they were interrupted by a loud BANG. Braedey was standing in the doorway with a Winchester 1887 shotgun.

"I don't know what you bastards are doing here, but I suggest you get outta here now." He said.

Braedey began shooting at Dagger and his goons while they ran back to their car. He cocked the lever by flipping the gun in the exact same manner as Arnold Schwarzenegger did in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

"I told you it was a stupid idea!" Ren shouted.

"Yeah! We shouldn't have messed with his car! This guy is crazy! Didn't you know, HE HAS A COLLECTION OF GUNS!?" Zach asked angrily.

"Of course not! But that doesn't matter right now! Just shut up and let's get outta here!"

Dagger and his men scrambled into Ren's car and began to pull out the Martins' driveway. But Braedey wasn't gonna let them get away that easily. As they pulled out of the driveway, Braedey managed to take out the rear-left tire on Ren's car. Ren struggled to control the car as they escaped with their lives. Having heard the gunshots, Braedey's family came running outside to see what was going on.

"What happened out here?" Naomi asked.

"Some douche bags tried to steal some stuff from the garage. I'm gonna go see what they took." Braedey answered, handing the shotgun to James.

Braedey went into the garage, and suddenly fell to his knees. James and the others ran to his side.

"What's wrong?" Karen asked.

Braedey didn't say anything. He stared sadly at the wreckage of his car. Naomi and the others felt sorry for him.

"We should leave him be. Braedey loved his car very much. He needs some time alone." James said.

They all went inside and returned to their beds while Braedey went into the garage to repair Veronica. He started working on the engine, and realized that Dagger and his buddies did more damage than he thought.

"This is gonna be a long night." Braedey said.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of creaking. Braedey sees the metal begin to bend and reform. Soon, Veronica's engine was completely repaired and ready to run.

Braedey walked to the front of his car and stood there.

"Okay Veronica. Show me." He said firmly.

The Ferrari's headlights came on, almost blinding him. But Braedey watched as the blue car began to repair itself. Within minutes, Veronica was repaired to showroom quality.

Braedey walked up to the Ferrari.

"Veronica, are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm here Braedey. I'm sorry that didn't tell you sooner, but I can repair myself and regenerate from all matter of injuries." Veronica answered.

"It's okay Veronica. I'm just glad you're alright." Braedey replied.

He hugged Veronica's hood, and the latter warmed her engine in return.

"They can't hurt us now. We'll show them what we can do. For now, we should get some sleep." Braedey said.

"Goodnight Braedey." Veronica replied.

Braedey shut the garage door and applied a much more sophisticated lock before heading inside and going to bed.

Veronica's POV

I was relaxing in the garage, enjoying the peace which was interrupted by Dagger and his friends. I was able to confirm that Ren does indeed serve Dagger out of fear for his life. But I was right about Zach being a liar. They severely damaged me, but then Braedey saved me by driving them off with a shotgun. I loved watching him shoot at Dagger and his friends while they tried to escape before Braedey took out one of their tires. He tried to fix me, but I knew that it would take a long time for Braedey to repair such damage on his own. So I decided to repair myself. When Braedey asked me to show him, I thought that he would be afraid to see me repairing myself. But I was wrong. He accepted me. I am glad to have Braedey with me. But now I have a couple of possible targets on my hit list. I swear, Dagger and Zach are gonna wish that Braedey killed them.
