Chapter One
It only took a few hours for us to get over the border and once we cleared the border we were quick to get to the beach house. Leon and I just wanted to sleep, especially after I flipped my car. I just wanted to sleep until I was all healed. I have to admit flipping my car scared me half to death. My first thought was I wasn't going to make it and if I was I would be in pretty bad shape. Thankfully it was only some cuts and bruises.
The drive back to Echo Park after they took Vince off in the helicopter was a quiet one. No one knew what to say and we were all worried. Worried about where Jesse was. Worried about Vince and if he was going to make it. Once we did make it back to the house Leon and I quickly packed as much stuff as we could and hit the highway. Our destination was Mexico.
We finally pulled up to the house. It was dark and quiet and you could hear the ocean in the background. I opened the door and crept out of the car slowly, still in pain from the earlier events. Leon tried to help me but I bitterly pushed him away not excepting his help. I wasn't crippled I could do it on my own. Finally, I stood up and began to limp my way to the door. Leon beat me to the front door and unlocked it for me before he went out to the car to grab our stuff.
I sat down on the closest thing to me; the couch and took a deep breath. My body was exhausted; I needed a shower and maybe a good meal. I closed my eyes and all I could see were flashes of the day's earlier events. My hands started to shake slightly and tears started to fill my closed eyes.
"Letty?" Leon asked softly. "What?" I croaked out.
"Do you want me to run you a bath so you can get cleaned up?" I nodded.
I listened as his boots stomped up the stairs. After a minute I could hear the water turn on. I opened my eyes and repeatedly blinked to stop myself from crying. Once he was done; Leon returned downstairs. He helped me stand up and helped me up to the bathroom where he set my duffel bag down and closed the door softly as he left me alone. I sighed and slowly stripped of my clothes. I stood in front of the mirror in the nude and looked over my battered body. Bruises were forming over my ribs and stomach. Once fresh scratches were now scabbed over with dried blood, my lip was swollen. I looked like someone threw me down a flight of stairs. If only it were just that.
Finally, I stepped into the tub and sat down slowly letting the warm water relax my muscles. Taking my time I slowly washed over my body until I was all clean.
When I walked back downstairs, I found Leon sitting on the couch drinking out of a bottle of vodka. It was too tempting so I sat next to him and reached over silently asking for a drink. He handed the bottle over along with some aspirin. I was thankful for both. We stayed like that for the next hour not once moving. In front of us on the coffee table lay his cell phone. Dom hasn't called yet and both of us were anxious to know if Vince was okay or if they had found Jesse yet. Finally around two in the morning I called it a night. I walked upstairs and made my way to the room Dom and I were supposed to share. I lay down in the bed and welcomed a deep slumber.
The next afternoon Leon and I went shopping at a small market for food. I was thankful that my abuela had taught me Spanish as a little girl or Leon and I would have never made it past the checkout counter. We only got a few things like corona, lunch meats and cheeses, bread and some cereal.
I wasn't as sore today as I was last night. I've been taking aspirin regularly and the pain is a tolerable one. Once we were finished we put the bags in the car and started our short journey back to the house.
"Leon, who is that in the driveway?" I asked nervously. There was a black four door with tinted windows sitting in front of the house.
"Shit!" He said hitting the gas.
We sped past the house quickly but, not before I got a chance to see the license plate. It was the cops. Instantly, I started to shake and get teary eyed. This was it, we were done. They found us and now we're going to spend the next few years behind bars.
"Don't worry Let; I'm not letting them take us." Leon said trying to sound reassuring.
I nodded and took a few deep breaths as tears silently fell down my cheeks. Why did I have to get involved with the heists? I regretted it with every ounce of my being but, there was no turning back now. We were wanted criminals on the run.
"What are we going to do?" I whispered.
"We'll have to just keep running." Leon said not trying to hold back.
There was no point in saying anything else because that's how it would have to be. We either go back to the house, and get caught or we keep running. We chose the second option.
Just to clear a couple things up so there is no confusion. Letty and Leon started running one day after arriving in Mexico and they went by the beach house every day for a week to check and see if the rest of them have gotten there yet. Dominic and them showed up two weeks after the heists so Leon and Letty had already left for Cabo a week before, leaving their phone in the ocean. So that's why they can't get a hold of them.
Anyways, I hope you like. Leave me some reviews and let me know what you think and if I should continue!!
