"Letty you have to go to the doctor." Leon declared as he paced back and forth impatiently. "You don't understand! You could be hurt! Broken bones... hurt..." Leon declared as he continued to pace the motel room agitatedly.
"No you don't understand!" Letty said and winced as she moved her arm. One movement cause her whole body to throb painfully. She understood broken bones. She was sure at least two of her ribs were cracked. "If we go to the hospital they are gonna ask questions! Questions we can't answer!" Letty said just wanting Dom there... he'd know what to do... and she'd do it... whatever he told her too... she didn't want to think past that.
"So we'll lie!" Leon said in exasperation. "Look we'll tell them you have an abusive boyfriend, and I'm your brother, say we had to skip the states to get away from him!" Leon declared off the top of his head.
"I'm not saying that!" Letty said quickly, her entire face darkening at even the mention of that. "He didn't do this to me Leon! The car rolled." Letty said defensively.
Leon's face lightened with realization, when her's darkened. He shook his head quickly, "I never said Dom did it Let. I was lieing. You know, so you'll go to the doctor?" Leon reminded her.
Before Letty could reply Leon's cell rang. They both jumped. Leon fumbled to open the phone while Letty grimaced but refused to cry out against her aching ribs.
"'Lo?" Leon said catiously.
"Leon? Where are you?" Mia said from the other end.
"Mia?" Letty's head shot up and she winced. "We're at the motel across from the 'Welcome to Baja' sign. El Pancho's, room 3." Leon shared.
There was a hushed conversation on the other end of the phone before Mia said, "we'll be there in about 40 minutes." Then there was a click, as she hung up.
