Chapter 1: Berlin Bound

Monday, 11:47am, Berlin

There was something about the all black Honda Civic, with extremely tinted windows, that had been parked outside of Letty's quaint little apartment building that didn't sit right with her. Letty hadn't gotten a negative vibe from the car, just a strange one. She felt like whomever it was had been watching her for the past four days and it was becoming annoying. Every night it would be outside when she came home from racing and every morning around this time, it would pull up and park across the street in perfect view from her living room window.

Letty pulled on her black leather jacket and grabbed her keys. As she headed outside, she crossed the street and boldly walked in front of the Civic. When she got onto the pavement, Letty glanced back at the car and ducked into the little convenience store to grab some breakfast. After ordering two breakfast sandwiches, Letty grabbed a newspaper and paid for everything at the cash register.

"Hey, Luc, do you have a pen back there?" Letty asked the gorgeous guy behind the counter. He'd flirted with her since she started frequenting his store a year ago.

"Yeah, beautiful." Luc responded as he handed her a black marker. "Will this do?"

"That's perfect." Letty replied. She scribbled something on the white paper bag that held the breakfast sandwiches and handed the marker back to Luc.

"Thanks, Luc. You're the best."

"If you really want to thank me, let me take you out, Letty." Luc told her.

Letty flashed Luc a smile. "Have a good day, Luc." She left the shop and on her way back across the street to her apartment, she dropped the bag of sandwiches on the hood of the Honda Civic and kept walking. Once the door to her apartment building closed, Letty raced up the stairs and hurriedly opened the door to her apartment. She slammed the door closed and jogged to her living room window. Peeking out, she smirked at the sight she saw.

The passenger door to the mysterious car was open and a thin, scruffy man stretched over the hood to grab the bag that Letty placed there. He looked at the apartment building but didn't see Letty peering out of a slit in her blinds. The man got back into the car, shut the door and handed the bag over to the bigger man in the driver seat.

The driver grabbed the bag and turned it around and read Letty's handwritting. "REAL subtle. P.S. Dom's doesn't have peppers."

Dom looked over at Leon and smirked. "God, I love that woman."

From her apartment, Letty took off her jacket, plopped down on her couch with a smile and kicked her feet up on her frosted glass coffee table. "Nice to see you again, Leon."

Monday, 10:56pm, Berlin

A knock sounded at Letty's door. She looked up at the clock in her kitchen and got off of her couch. On the way to the door, Letty slipped on her brass knuckles and looked out of the peephole. After seeing that no one was there, she opened the door and looked down both sides of the hallway. Attached to her door was a folded note that she snatched off on her way back into the apartment.

Letty grabbed a Corona out of her well-stocked fridge and flipped the note open. "Ritz-Carlton. Room 2022. Midnight. -Leon." Letty pulled out her lighter and set fire to the note, throwing it in the dirty dishwater before the smoke set off the alarm. She walked into her room and closed her door as she began to get ready for the night starting with a shower.

Ritz-Carlton, across town, Room 2024, 11:33pm

"Do you think she'll come?" Mia asked Brian.

"I don't know. Letty's been known to hold a grudge. She's probably still pissed at Dom for leaving her in the DR. Not to mention, we did a crazy heist in Rio without her." He responded.

"We didn't even know she was alive then." Mia reminded him.

"Do you really think that's a good excuse? I mean, we are talking about Letty." Brian chuckled. Mia laughed.

"Good point. I guess we'll see at midnight."

"Where's Dom?" Brian asked.

"I think he's in his room, getting a shower." As soon as Mia answered, the sweet sounds of a baby's cries filled the room.

"I'll get her." Brian said. Mia nodded and smiled as Brian leaned down to kiss her.

She sighed and pushed her long hair over her shoulders. "Please let tonight go perfect."

Ritz-Carlton, 12:15am

Letty stepped into the lobby of the prestigous hotel and walked to the gold-colored elevators. The dark gray fedora that graced her head blocked her face from the cameras inside as she rode the elevator up to the second floor. As she exited, Letty breathed deeply to keep herself from hyperventilating and headed to room 2022. Knocking, Letty slipped her hands into the front pockets of her black skinny jeans.

"Hi, gorgeous!" Mia nearly screamed as she opened the door. Letty smirked and pulled her old friend into a hug. "You look so good, Let! I've missed you so much! I love what you're wearing! Your hair is longer!"

Letty expected the excitement from Mia. She wondered who else was waiting to see her.

"Thanks, Mi. I missed you too." Letty replied. Mia grabbed her hand and pulled her deeper into the huge hotel room. "Nice place."

"Yeah. We wouldn't have been able to afford it if it weren't for that heist in Rio." Mia told her.

"That was you guys! Man, I read about that in the papers. That shit was genius!" Letty complimented.

In the sitting room stood Leon and Brian. Dom stood behind the bar in the kitchen. Standing next to him was a short, Hispanic woman. When Letty spotted Leon, her eyes filled up with tears. Leon had helped her get herself together after Dom left her in the Dominican Republic. Once she got settled, she understood when he needed to go off on his own.

"Get over here, girl." Leon said. Letty ran to him and jumped on him and he squeezed her tight. "How you been, mama?"

"I've been good. I didn't know when I'd see you again. If ever." Letty told him.

"Aww, don't be so dramatic." Leon laughed. He let Letty down and she grabbed Brian into a hug next.

"What's up, O'Connor?" Letty asked.

"Nothing but the rent, bro."

"I hear that." Letty and Brian bumped fists.

"Do you want a beer, Let?" Leon asked.

"Yeah. I'll take one." Letty replied. She took off her fedora and pushed the top of her hair back. Refusing to glance back in Dominic's direction, Letty tossed her hat onto the couch and smiled at Mia.

Letty was back with her family. It had been quite some time and there had been many highs and lows but this is where she belonged.
