Midnight - Driver change, collaboration with @HermannMatern
Thomas speeded in to the pits with dangerous speed - it was clear that a driver change was neccecary.
Eh! There you are! I had a flat tire causing me almost to crash into the barrier, but I fixed that myself with the jack. But we are out of the top ten, I guess we better hurry up. Chantal, why are you limping again? What´s wrong?
Stepped into a screw, Jan treated that, keep calm!
Damn, look after yourself and TRY NOT TO DIE! I need to install a new ignition coil, but I havent worked on these old engines for a while. Pass me the handbook, I just need to put on my glass… eh… .gla… eh, HELP! Ugh… hel…
Thomas grabbed on his chest, made a panicking facial expression, then passed out.
Chanty immediately started panicking as well, crying for her boyfriend.
I am here! Don´t worry, I handle this, please keep calm!
Just in this moment the Eberswalder Rennkollektiv with the Wartburg, being out of the race, wanted to welcome Thomas, and withnessed his serious heart attack. Grandpa Klaus-Dieter immediately realized what happened.
ALEXANDER! This does not look good. Distract the girl! If she has a mental breakdown, her boyfriend will not be able to focus on saving the life of Thomas!
Alex Biermann sprinted to Chanty, who indeed was in panic and cried uncontrollably, but Alex pulled her aside and tried to calm her to not distract the medically trained Jan. Every second was important now.
ALEX! MOVE IT! THAT IS AN ORDER! THE LESS SHE SEES, THE BETTER FOR US!
Alex did his best to care for Chantys breakdown, and she soon looked for an escape and just started working on the car to be distracted of all the drama. Meanwhile, Jan tried hard, but Thomas, without pulse, showed no response.
I lose him! Eh, grandpa, HELP ME!
Oh, my young comrade, I doubt we can do something. I heard he lived an unhealthy life, full of grilled sausages, Cabinet Würzig cigarettes and alcohol, especially whisky… his heart is used up, I am sorry. I just brought my best whisky here to ask him for a ride home, and… EH, WHISKY!
Klaus-Dieter ran back to where he dropped the expensive spirit, opened the bottle and held it under Thomas´ nose.
Thomas! I have Sloupisti! THOMAAAAAS! I know you want that, so come back to us now! I won´t empty that all by myself! THOMAS!
Thomas heart slowly started working again, it skipped a few beats, but it worked. He slowly got up, carefully helped by Jan.
Eh? What happ… eh, I don´t care. Klaus-Dieter, what are you doing here?
We are out of the race, Thomas, and you should be grateful to your daughter´s boyfriend. He saved you. Your heart passed out.
Ah, not again.
AGAIN? Really, Thomas? It is this serious and you did not tell us?
Jan, don´t make a drama out of this, thanks a lot, but … hey, Chantal is repearing the car. Without me having to force her to. That´s… great… but seeing her so sad is breaking my heart. Care for her, you are better at that than me. I need to fix the Wartburg! GENOSSEN, GREIFT ZUM WERKZEUG!
Thomas grabbed his toolbox, and even if everyone told him that he needs some rest, he grabbed the whisky bottle of Klaus-Dieter and commanded the Wartburg team to get to the car.
Jan put on his racing suit, calming down his still very scared girlfriend.
He looks much better now. Don´t worry. He will be fine. He is already complaining and cursing again.
Will… at least you promise not to leave me alone? Will you?
Never. Ever. Are you ready maintaining our car?
By following the service manual I changed again the spark plugs, the faulty ignition coil, filled up oil and coolant… and used my lipstick to draw a heart on the dashboard, so that you know who waits for you.
