AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you’re enjoying this series you really need to check out Zippit’s K.D. Harvey Show. I’ve been betaing it and I swear I laughed so hard I almost cried. ;)
AUTHOR'S NOTE2: This would be when the rumors about Kevin leaving RCR began to surface. I’ve got mixed feelings about the whole thing. I want him competitive, I just...like him at RCR so much!

Post Chicago Race - Harvick Motorcoach - July 11, 2009
“I don’t know how much more of this I can take, D.”
“I know, Kevin, I know. Maybe we need to try something else. Maybe I could take the bear--”
“It’s not the damn bear, or you not being at the track or any of that superstitious shit, DeLana! It’s not you, hell it’s not me! Haven’t I proved that on Saturdays? I’ve won in our shit, finally. Doesn’t that prove SOMETHING?”
“Kevin, calm down. I’m just trying to help.”
“And you can’t. You can’t help. This is beyond you or me. It’s got me thinking….”
“What? Kevin, what? I know that look. C’mon, let’s just get home, get some rest and everything will look better in the morning. Don’t do anything.”
“I’m not, D. Not yet anyway. I’m just starting to wonder if I’m even in the right place anymore.”
Green Eyes, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I’ll stay with Blonde Mommabear. I don’t mind. Gil!Fish and his Ford Guppy are really, really nice. Don’t be mad. You can squish me if it’ll make you feel better. You can even throw me around. I won’t break! I promise. Just don’t give up!!!
“What’re you saying, Kevin? What’re you going to do?”
“I’m not sure yet, but this isn’t working. None of it is. Damn Bowyer has Dillon’s ear and you know Jeff doesn’t rock the boat. Making me wish I had a performance clause like Mears does.”
“What?! Kevin, you aren’t saying what I think you’re saying are you?”
“I dunno, D! Do you think I should be fucking twenty something in points?? I’m behind Mears for God’s sake. Maybe I should see…if I can get out.”
“Kevin, you don’t mean that.”
“Why not? I’m sick to death of the excuses, of the apologies that don’t change a damn thing. Nothing ever changes. I can’t even go one race without the pit crew fucking something up. I’m sick of ‘I’m sorry.’ I want things to change! Maybe…I’ll just have to change them myself.”
I’m s--…. I wish you weren’t so mad, Green Eyes. I hate to see you so upset. It’s not fair, but where would we go? I get to go with you, right? Me and Big Yellow? We get to go where ever you go, right? He doesn’t mean to be bad either. Maybe he needs new shoe changers? You should ask Gil!Fish, or maybe go find Imaginary Todd. Imaginary Todd always made things better. Maybe we could go be with him again. I miss him, Green Eyes. Can we go see him soon?
“Kevin, you need to calm down. Are you seriously thinking about leaving RCR and the 29? I mean, I know it’s been a bad year and all….”
“What options do we have, D? Besides, partnerships don’t last forever. Hell, couple years ago no one would’ve ever dreamed June would give up the eight.”
“And you see where that’s got him.”
“Hey, at least they’re building towards something! Can you say the same for us? Two years ago I was running for a championship and now I’m dog shit! Look at Tony. Look what he’s done by starting over. Maybe it’s my turn….”
“I don’t know, Kevin. I don’t know. Let’s just…get home, ok? I’ll get LO and we can just go home.”
“I need to call, Tony. I need to at least see if I have options.”
Options for what, Green Eyes? You aren’t really going to leave Big Yellow are you?!?! You CAN’T! Big Yellow neeeeeeeds you! Why are you gonna talk to the Bear Man? He was mean to me, remember? He put me in the cans. Green Eyes, I don’t want to go be with Bear Man. Please, please find Imaginary Todd. Please? Talk to Gil!Fish and the Cowboy. Green Eyes, I don’t want to leeeeeeeeeave!!!
