[NFSC] Where the Removed Cross Romeo Scene fits

I didn't expect you to show your face again..Things have changed around here. This place is a battleground now..Tuners.Muscles.Exotics.Crews fightin' for territory in the city..And it all gets settled in the canyon..But you'd never survive it..Yeah. I heard you were back in town. Now I want to hear you're gone..Hi, I'm Emmanuelle Vaugier..The moves that you and your crew do in the game are meant to stay in the game..In the real world, drive safe, obey the laws of the road and always wear your seatbelt..I can't believe Darius gave you this car. .Start it up, let's hear it..I think you're ready, I think you're going to blow them away..Don't disappoint..I don't have time for this, you...you know what? This is....Look, between the heat and the crews, you need to walk away. Take my car. Go, get outta here.Hey, guess who's back?.I have suspect party in custody. Suspect is code 5 and I'm still code 8. Repeat, code 8 assistance required..Hey! Don't move!.Suspect is resisting arrest. .We have a code 8 here. .Get 'em cuffed!.Hey, man, between the heat and the crews, you need to walk away. Take my car. Go, get outta here..Sit down!!! How ya been? It's time to settle a little score from Rockport. Ya think?.I don't remember asking for your help, Crock. .What makes you think you can bounty hunt in Silverton without my approval?.It's Cross! This guy's from out of town..Been a long time, kid..What's his bounty?.A hundred and fifty K..David, take care of this guy..So, that's what you been up to..... Nikki..This should be interesting..How dare you show your face here!!!.Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Hey....Let go of me!!!.Hey, hey, hey. Control yourself..Whoa! Damn! My bad Romeo, my bad. Look, we'll catch up real soon. You have yourself a nice night. (Laughing).I still don't know what happened that night you took off. But I do know you into me now for some serious cash. .Things have been getting a little too close for comfort around here with all these crews battling for new territory. .I think I can use someone with your skills to help me out. The way I see things, I bailed you out of a serious jam twice now..Time for you to return the favor..Nikki. What do you say you show your old friend the ropes?.You gotta be joking right?.You got a better idea? Let's get him started right away..Don't disappoint. Not again..Thanks for waiting up..Ya ya. sure Nikki. Hey uh, who's the third wheel?.Doesn't matter. Darius made all these cars available to you. Pick one, whichever one you want..Hey, if uh...if there's three, do I get one?.I mean I...I don't care which one although I am partial to the one with the sweet rims..Why don't you just make sure the tanks are filled..That's great. I'm the monkey!.Pick one. Let's get this over with..Listen. I... I'm not saying you wouldn't have won but were you watching when I put that guy into the wall?.Hey, Nikki. You miss me?.Darius asked me to come by and see how you were doing..Neville, why don't you go get me something to drink?.Sure... Ah... What? Like a soda or something?.How .bout some options?.Okay..Look like you cleaned the place up a bit..You been generating a lot of buzz, you know. But you're not fooling me..What I'm trying to figure out is why you haven't skipped town yet..May I introduce Sal Mustela..Hi... (cough) Umm... Nikki said that you might be looking for a new wingman?.See, you don't know me, but ah... Well I know you. I'm a... I'm a big fan. I seen all your races..And on that note. I'll be outta here..See, things ain't been the same since you've gone, you know? There's a lot a... lot a posers -no respect..I know all the back streets-I grew up in these alleys, I can customize anything..I practically built all the kits you see around this place so I....Okeydokey, I got soda and water. Where'd she go?.(Sigh) I'll even put up with this guy..Wha... What's to put up with?.Nothing, ah you're a nice guy..Hey I saw that run with Angie. Very nice! When it's clutch time, you can really throw down..If you're looking for more crew, meet me at Footy's Diner..Well, well, well, nice of you to show..Listen I know you're looking to clear your rep and uh, you're gonna need some help in order to do that..It's just that race, the night you took off. There is somthing seriously outta whack. I was there too..I showed up at the line just to check things out. Everyone was talking about you..Then the Five-O were everywhere..Then I see the alley cleared..He let's you go, then shuts it up. The thing is, the guys driving, he's got a badge on his belt..Bottom line is, the heat had an agenda and you took the fall. That's all there is to it..Thing is I can see them coming a mile away. Not only will I block them in, but I can mix it up with them too..Hey! Stop! Freeze! I got ya! Get down on the ground!.How'd you hear?.A friend mentioned it..You sure about that?.I dunno..I'll see you later..Darius, what are you doing? A few more races and he's gonna have more territory than you..Well hey, good for him. He should be cleaning up his rep and he's taking care of my business for me, he owes us....both of us..You're using him..Huh, I'm not using him. I'm the only one who knows what he's capable of..Is this because I had a thing for him? That's ancient..What's gotten into you?.Not all races are won on the track..I have a secret, thought you'd like to know. I was there that night you left..I was up a fire escape. You can see pretty good up there. You can hear things too..Unit 4, you are confirmed for a 10-46 on suspects Bravo and Charlie and Delta. Suspect Alpha driving a blue Toyota is a non-action..Repeat, suspect Alpha is in violation and may flee, but is a non-action at this time..Then the cops step up, and hit every car......but the blue one-yours, I didn't make any sense of that..Somebody interfered in a big way and now you need a good crew to pick up the pieces..I usually notice things everyone else misses, like, faster routes..Kenji, he can tune cars, but he just can't see what's in front of his face you know?.Hey! Freeze! Police! Don't move! Stay there! Hold it! Hands in the air!!.Drive..I remember. I was standing right over there..It was so close, I knew you were gonna win... and things went crazy..This guy knocks me over, I...I tried to get up but he held me down. I thought he was protecting me..I couldn't make it so I gave you the bag..If what you're saying is true and the bag was switched then, I don't know how it could have happened..Why didn't you ever tell me about the missing money? If the bag was switched then, that's where it happened..Let's get out of here..Step out of your vehicles! Hands on your heads! Units 1 and 5, containment! Get on containment!.Look...I just wanna race, that's all I ever wanted..If you're still looking to make good on the past, I might be able to help you with that too..It was a big night you left....It got pretty crazy real quick..I was playing it cool.Then I see Nikki knocked down..Thing is I could have sworn that the guy who knocked her down had the same bag as Nikki..I can help you guys out. I'm one of the best drivers in the city and you know it..I just want to win. What about you?.So, the sleuth has figured everything out..You just couldn't leave good enough alone, could you? We were making bundles of cash, you were clearing your name, what more could you want?.Well, things have progressed a little further now than I thought possible and I'm gonna have to cash you out. Mr. Crawl?.C'mon. I didn't let you take my money the first time. What makes you think this is any different?.You actually thought I would front you the cash to save you from this loser? (Short laugh).Then sit around while you were encroaching on my territory? (Laughing).Greed's always been your problem. You got a lot to learn about the big times, little man..This city is mine and it's time for you to disappear again..It's Cross..Take his ride to my place. Show's over..Thanks. I'm glad you changed your mind..I'm just a bounty hunter, and I always get paid. Just make sure I do..Look, I hate it when people say I told you so. So here it goes..Seems that some of your team was there the night that you left. And they tell a different story than the one I've been hearing from Darius..Thing is, their stories seem to add up..Somebody tipped off the cops. Somebody let you escape..And somebody switched the bag..And now I know who that somebody was..Darius likes to pull the strings. Now here's something he doesn't know about. Part of the deal with Cross is that I race with you..Think you handle that? You're not the only one with a score to settle..Now, let's get outta here. We got a lot of ground to catch up..Yeah.Fine, I'm going to need a crew that's motivated..What?.Nikki did that?.The keys are in the car..Enjoy it while it lasts. There's always someone out there who's a little faster than you are. And sooner or later they're gonna catch up..Congratulations, I always knew you could do it..But you know there's someone else in town who hasn't quite tested you out there yet. What do you say?.You and me?
