Brian slowly pulled onto the dirt road leading to Letty's place, Piggy and Charley running out to meet him, barking like crazy. He couldn't help wondering how they would react to him today…depended on Letty's mood, he guessed. It was crazy, how the dogs fed off Letty's energy.

Letty could hear the dogs going crazy, but she was too damn tired to get up from the couch to go see what they were barking at.

Lulu was laying on the couch beside her, the dog's head in her lap. The little dog thought she was one'a the big dogs, had to be right there in the middle'a everything with Charley an' Piggy…Letty kept telling her she was gonna get run over, trying to keep up with Charley an' Pig, running all over the streets like they owned them or something.

Finally, Brian pulled up to the house and slowly opened the door to his car as Piggy's pink nose pushing through the narrow space. He must have caught brian's scent pretty quickly, though, because he moved back, almost like he wasn't interested anymore since he knew it was Brian.

"Who is it?" Letty hollered towards the door, content in not moving.

"It's just me…" Brian yelled back, climbing onto the porch and opening the front door. He hoped he wouldn't come face to face with a pistol like he had the first time he'd come to check on Letty.

"What now? You got what you wan'ed." Letty muttered. "And fucked my life up in the process." She grumbled, stroking Lulu's ears.

"I just…wanted to check on you…" Brian said slowly, shrugging as he stood there, watching her an' Lucy, not quite sure what to do. "He called." Brian said finally, watching Letty closely for a reaction.

"He who?" Letty retorted, even though she knew full well who he was talking about. "Th' fuck do I care?"

"Just left a message…he's in Asia…Tokyo…" Brian said, finally sitting down in one of the recliners. "Still looking for Braga." He laughed a little under his breath, shaking his head.

Christ, when he'd gotten back home and found the FBI questioning her….he'd nearly had a heart attack.

He and Dom had spent all that time, off avenging her death, and she'd been just fine. 'Course, Dom had already disappeared when Brian had tried to call and tell him. Brian knew Dom blamed himself for her death , regretted walking away from her…

"Sayonara, asshole," Letty muttered, flipping off nobody in particular. Still, the thought that he called Brian, it had her hopeful that maybe Dom was realizin' that he hadn't had t' leave Letty just t' keep her safe…

"Think he's gonna end up dead…" Brian said quietly, shrugging. Christ, Dom had been a wreck, drunk whenever they weren't focused on hunting Felix down.

"May he rest in pieces." Letty mumbled. "He left me, damn near killed Vince, got Jesse shot t' hell…'s either him 'r Mia next…or me…"

"So you really want me to let him keep thinking you're dead?" Brian asked, a little surprised; shit…he knew Dom had fucked up, leaving her like that, for her own protection, but…

"I don't CARE, Brian." Letty said quietly.

Shit, they both knew she did care what happened…even if she did wanna kick his no-good, ex-felon ass all the way to Rosarito and back again.

"So I can do what I think is best, then?" Brian asked, eyebrows raising.

Christ…what was best was the two of them back together…neither one of them worked very well on their own, even though Letty had done pretty well for herself, all things considered.

"You bring him here and I don't know who'd kill him first, the dogs, Vince, or me…" Letty mumbled, shaking her head.

"Didn't say anything about bringing him here…" Brian said, not quite meeting her eyes. "Shit, he hasn't ever done more than leave a message. Ain't like I've got a way to even get back to him."

"You try callin' the number that left the message?" Letty snorted. "Christ, even Jesse could'a figured that one out."

"Its unidentified…" Brian told her, rolling his eyes. She still thought he was an idiot. "Asked one'a my guys at the bureau, says he must be using throwaway cell phones, different one ev'ry time he calls…"

"Fucking coward…" Letty muttered, shaking her head. "He calls but won't say where he's at…"

"He did say where he's at…" Brian told her, shrugging. "It's just, Tokyo's a pretty damned big place…"

"So you look for the streetracers, you MORON!" Letty snapped. "How the fuck did you find US?"

"So what, now it's my job to go find him?" Brian asked as he shook his head. "Christ, two minutes ago you didn't care if he ends up dead!"

"He LEFT me, Brian! Shit, he might as well have done what you did t' MIA!"

"Yeah, an' he's felt guilty as hell 'bout doin' it ever since!" Brian retorted, wincing a little when she mentions Mia.

"An' what, I've been fucking PEACHY?"

"I'm just saying… think you came out better than he did…" Brian said, his voice quieter.

"I'm lucky Vince still talks to me!" Letty snapped. "I haven't seen Mia in god knows how long…and if I have to work on another fucking crotch rocket this MONTH, I'ma scream!"

"C'mon…you know you like motorcycles now…" Brian teased, laughing a little. "You've got the shop, an' the dogs, an' this place…all he's got is vengeance an' guilt."

"You f'rgot a hear that just might be beyond repair." Letty said off-handedly.

"Think you've both got that." He said, shrugging.

"He broke mine first…" Letty said, not caring how childish it sounds.

"And he thinks you're dead!" Brian said, knowing it probably wouldn't make any difference.

"He LEFT ME!" Letty roared, standing up now.

"And he beats himself up f'r that every single day." Brian said, just as quiet, standing up himself. "Look… I guess I shouldn't have come. Just thought you'd maybe wanna know he called…"

"I'll believe that when he gets the balls to come looking for me." Letty muttered, scooping Lucy up off the floor.

"He thinks you're DEAD!" Brian told her, shaking his head. Christ, Brian had to find a way to get a hold of Dom…

"I might as well be! I have a house I can't afford to fix up, a roofer who was my ex's best friend and now isn't talking to ME and now I'm spilling my guts to the PIG that caused it all to happen in the first place!"

"Sure, this is all my fault." Brian muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"YOU were a COP! I mean, sure, you let Dom go, you saved Vince's ass but you also put ALL OF US on the run for the rest of god knows how long!"

"It would've ended even WORSE if it hadn't been me!" Brian retorted, heading towards the door. "Christ, I'm sick of this shit…"

"Bring him back. Let Vince rip 'im to shreds. See if I give a fuck."

Letty talked a good talk, but shit…Brian knew Letty was still in love with Dominic Toretto, just like he was still in love with her. He nodded, opening the front door, Piggy an' Charley almost running him over as they pushed their way inside. Brian was gonna fix this…make it up to her, to all of them.
