"Leticia Rodriguez, the jury finds you guilty as charged. You will serve out your sentence of fifteen years at Lompoc Prison. You will remain under house arrest at the hospital until you give birth and then you will proceed to carry out your sentence."
fell from the sky like a star
Letty sat in the chair, staring blankly ahead, in the orange jumpsuit. Her wrists were cuffed together and her belly pressed against the tight material of the jumpsuit. She provided no resistance when she was led to the police truck. She just stared at the silver wall across from her as they drove her to the hospital. She stood there as the police officer spoke with the doctor about her "condition". She knew it by heart though she'd never heard it with her ears-she'd provide no resistance because she remained in a constant depression which caused her to be lacking in response and emotion.
sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in heaven
Letty gave birth to a healthy baby girl on July 12, 2002 and named her Jersey Michelle Torretto-after which she was promptly taken from Letty's arms.
Letty was taken to prison two days later and was shoved in a cell with a black man everyone had taken to calling Night John. Night John had skin the color of midnight and eyes the color of honey. The grin which never left his face always lit up the room. Nobody knew why he was in Lompoc but he'd been in there longer than most of them and was going gray on the top. Letty found him annoying at first-always getting up in the middle of the night and walking around like it was the middle of the day. But then she just grew used to it, and it grew comforting.
and I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
Letty was sitting on her bed, curled up, crying one night when Night John came over. He wrapped his arms lovingly around her and asked her to tell him what her story was. So she told him and buried her face in his
chest, crying. He rocked her to sleep that night, and every night for the week after, stroking her hair and whispering comforts in her ear.
and I saw my own face like a spark frozen in heaven
Letty stood in front of the gate with her bag, waiting for it to open. She wore her jeans and black tank from fifteen years ago. Her eyes were no longer the soft, bright brown that they were before but were a hard, cold brown, light long since extinguished or hidden. She wasn't the same person she was fifteen years ago and she wanted to forever forsake her past. Everything- the team, LA, the heists and especially Dom. And so she would. dark bodies floating in darkness...
Letty walked calmly out of the gate and boarded the bus that would take her back to LA. She was going back. She had to go back to forget. She had three things to claim-her daughter, her car and her life.
The long brown scar on the left side of her face shone white in the bright LA sun as Letty stalked up to the door of her old house and knocked.
