Chapter 2 - The Race begins

While Daniel was fixing his hair Lucas walked into the Fray and said to Diego. [" That party trick made me lose some teeth remember that Diego. I-"] however before Lucas cloud finish what he was saying Daniel said while laughing [" remember how we could hear his mom yelling at him from the two-houses away when we came back home that night."] at that moment Diego started to laugh as well, but before they could make more jokes at Lucas's expense some called for Daniel to come out of the stables.

It was one of the workers at the stable he was there for Daniel's horse gypsy to take her to the starting line. The race track was simply The old rundown Mining coal town. It was located under the hill on top of the wedge river town was built on top of a hill. The racers have to down the hill, cross the river using the bridge. Also, they have to zigzag through the run-down buildings of the main town, before coming back to the top of the hill for the finishing line. The part the Bothered most of the races was that the first person to reach the bridge usually won. It was since only one horse can cross the bridge whoever reach the bridge first was almost guaranteed the win. However, going down the hill was the most difficult part because there were many ditches, mud graves, and a lot of cactuses that slow down most of the racers.

The audience is set at the top of the hill with some chairs while some of the announcers with binoculars explain which of the racers is ahead and who is behind. The person who provides for the audience and the horse riders in these events is Diego's father. He also sets the rules for the races. he a mostly a fair person it did not involve Daniel, it was due to his hair it reminded him of the bastard who left his sister to die. When Diego had used a strategy where are you at through one of the buildings in the old mining town, to cut down the distance. he had a band that strategy immediately. Most people who didn't know Diego's father thought that decision was fair. However, if it was Diego who has used the technique or strategy he would have not been banded it. All members of the audience currently thought that without using that strategy Daniel will not be able to win this race and they would get their share of the bids.

After all members of the audience have been seated and accounted for. The announcers had started to allow Racers to come out one by one.

The first one to come out was Diego wearing a Red hat and a Sarape. When Diego came out every single person in the audience had cheered. The second person to come out was Daniel wearing the same outfit but it was green and no one in the audience had cheered for him. The audience knew that two types of races occurred in places like this one physically and the other mentally and they knew that intimidating racers before the race was the best way to get them nervous.

In all honesty, Daniel thought that he would get booed but sandwich treatment is the same I guess he thought to himself. Lucas was the third person to come out however no one in the Audience cared about his appearance today and the same went for the other racers. Today was a show about the Delavega to see who would come on top. Daniel didn't know who had bet on him on the blacklist to win however he didn't care about him after the race, Diego, Lucas, and their friend Martin were going to drink the night away.

After all the horses were in place and the announcer was done hyping up the crowd that was counting, how much money they would earn from a 500 to 1 bet. Announcer with a makeshift telephone Said [" 1..2…3… go,"]

The audience whenever I saw Diego take the lead from Lucas with a quick Dodge from a cactus. As Diego and Lucas were fighting for the first place while dodging cactuses and jumping over mud pits Daniel was being Sandwiched by two other racers. Even though Daniel doesn't care if he won or lost the rays he would not let second-rate losers like these guys control how his Race went. However, at this moment The two racers were trying to get closer to Daniel so that they could lead him to Clyde with two cactuses that were merged, yet They didn't expect Daniel to stop his horse from running which had caused them both to collide with each other and hit the merged cactuses.

Daniel continued to pass them as he loudly laughed at their misery.
