Greetings. I have decided to re-write this story. I went back and read my first verse of this story and came to this conclusion: My story writing skills sucked. So, Since I'm home sick for the next week, I'm going to re-write and update this story. Please enjoy, criticize, and comment.

RATED PG-13 FOR VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE.

THIRD PERSON. DT AUTO GARAGE.

IT was one of those hot, sunny evenings in Los Angeles. The sweat was pouring down the team members of DT Auto. The air was filled with the smells of BO, car oil, and moisture. The noises of old fans running, and new cars being fixed echoed through the garage's old shallow walls. Between wiping their foreheads, tuning their engines, and listening to the rap in the background, everyone was busy with their own shit. This was routine, a normal day in the life of a DT employee. The King of the Race World, Dominic Toretto, their leader and protector, was busy as usual in the office. If he wasn't ordering parts, or filing out paperwork, he was busy fooling around with Letty Rodriguez; His girl, his love, his prize.

This was not one of those days though. He had that bald head busy in papers. Vincent , his wingman, was too busy with his own problems. If it wasn't the engine that was giving his problems, it was the brakes that weren't working. He was working on some rich boys 2002 Mitsubishi EVO that looking like it had been driven into a river and back. He cursed under his breath at the car. Finally, his temper though him a curve ball as he rose to his feet, kicking the tire and throwing his wrench to the ground. He moved of the door of the garage as Mia and Letty walked in from lunch. They were too busy smiling and laughing to let him bring them down. Mia would grin as she watched him walk out.

"What' wrong V? Forgot how to fix a car?"

She laughed as Letty joined her. Vince was super sensitive about his mechanical skills. He grinned as he flipped them both off. Moving to his car, he jumped in, turning on the engine, rev it up, and peel out. The two women just watched, then turned back in to the garage. Leon stood in front of them.

"Play nice girls. V isn't have a good day. Its that time of the month again."

They both looked at him as they rolled their eyes in unison. Mia headed in one direction to the shop, as Letty went into the office. Those lips grinned as she wrapped her arms around Dominic's neck, kissing it playfully with her soft lips.

"Hey papi. Why don't you stop for a minute to spent some time with me?"

She was a total attention whore when she was around him. He sighed deeply as he turned in the chair to face her, a grin on his face.

"Nah baby. I've got problems with parts, and you know what that means. If these parts don't get here by tomorrow night, we are going to have a gang of angry customers. I guess those idiots in San Diego don't know how to drive trucks from point A to point B…I mean just because blah blah blah all his drivers are on vacation and blah blah blah no one to drive. This shit makes me want to end this contract with that stupid company and find someone else..."

He crossed his arms over his chest as he looked up at her. She smiled lightly as she kissed his lips. He was rambling on, and she thought that was just to cute. You could say that they have a history together, Letty and Dom. Growing up next door to one another: strangers, best friends, lovers. They've been together long enough to consider it a marriage. They were in love, despite the whores and the drama.

"Don't stress over it baby. Here's an idea. I've got to go down to San Diego this week anyway to visit my sister Lita and the baby. Why don't I just head down tonight, pick up the pieces tomorrow, visit for a little bit, then bring them back. I'll be home before six tomorrow."

He grinned as she took her hands in his, kissing them romantically.

"You know what. You are the best and I love you. Have I told you that recently?"

His lips would connect with hers passionately. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Letty crawled on top of him, straddling him in the chair. Those strong arms of Dominic's rested on Letty's defined hips. The kiss deepened, as their tongues met in the middle. She frowned as she pulled back for a moment, hearing someone open the door slowly. They both turned to notice Mia at the door, taping her foot gently. Letty laughed as she stood up.

"That's my cue baby. Let me go home and pack my stuff. I'll be back in about a half an hour.."

She kissed him softly, moving past Mia and towards her Nissan 240z. She slide her thin body inside, and left. Mia watched her leave, then turned her attention back to her older brother.

"Next time lock the door Dominic."

She smiled as she rubbed that bald head playfully, sitting down across from him.

"Dominic. We need to talk. The income from the garage and the shop aren't going to cover all of these expenses. We need more money. We spend more money on parts and fancy shit then we do on actually making money.."

Dom smoothed his hands over his head as he took a deep breath. He looked up at her, then back at Jesse on the computer in the garage, and Leon under the car.

"We are going to have to make another hit tonight. We can do it after Letty leaves. She's heading down to San Diego to visit Lita and pick up some parts for me. I was talking to Hector, and I guess some illegal shit for Johnny Tran is coming in tonight. You know, TVs, stereos, other shit we can cash in for money. I think we can do this. I'm mean we'll be down Letty, but I know Jesse and Leon and V can cover that."

She gave him that look. It was that same look that she always gave him when he came up with bad ideas. She hated the feeling of her family in danger. She knew even if she said something, his ego wouldn't let him not do it. She shrugged as she stood up, moving towards the door.

"Whatever Dominic. You just be careful and bring those boys back safe. Letty would kill me if anything happened to any of you. Especially you Dom. So don't make me regret this.."

She left and went back to her spot in the shop. He held his breath as he stood up too, moving into the garage. He saw Vince enter the garage from the corner of his eye.

"Okay guys. Bottom line: we need cash now. We have to many outcomes and not enough incomes You all know what that means. We have a hit we are going to do tonight. Easy shit. Semi truck full of illegal shit. Letty is running an errand and has to go to San Diego for the night, so you guys all need to step up your games. We are leaving at 11. I need to get with Hector on details, but be ready.."

They all nodded as they went on with their business. The rest of the time went by quickly until Letty finally returned. She moved inside quickly, looking over towards Dom, who was busy working under the hood of his Mazda. He looked up at her and smiled, wiping his oily hands off on a rag.

"Ok baby. I'll call you when I get there, and when I'm on my way back alright?"

He leaned down to kiss her softly as he hugged her tightly.

"Just be careful baby. Tell Lita we all said hi. And give the baby a kiss from us. I love you.."

She smiled into the kiss as she moved back slowly.

"I will baby. Don't get any trouble while I'm gone. And keep these idiots out of trouble too. I love you too Dom."

She smiled as the team looked over at her. She waved to them as they waved back at her. She kissed Dom one last time, making her way back out to the car and heading towards the freeway. Dominic made the necessary arrangements with the parts dealer, informing him that Letty was going up herself to get that parts.

Dom hung up and dialed Hector, getting all the information that he needed. It made him grin just thinking of ripping off anyone, especially Tran. He had a history with Johnny. They have been enemies since a deal that went sour. Since then, they have been playing tag with one another, one doing something to the other, and visa versa. Once the boys were suited up and ready to go, they left the highway as well. It was time to roll.

Please comment and tell me what you think. Here comes Chapter two!
