Chapter 2

Mia awoke hoping that what happened yesterday was just a horrible dream. Unfortunately it wasn't and the reality set in once she looked at her surroundings. She was still at Vince's house, she hadn't left because she was afraid of what would happen to Vince or what Vince would do.

James had gone back home with the girls and the baby. He would call in sick today and drop the girls off at school and come over to help Mia out with Vince.

Vince was still upstairs locked up in his room. Now Mia need to try and coax him out of there and hopefully she could convince him to go home with her. That way she could take care of him.

It was almost 10 in the morning, when there was a knocking at the door. Mia walked over and looked through the window. It was Leon, Layla, and Travis. Mia opened the door and they all hugged and said hello, then walked into the house.

"So how's coyote doing?" Leon asked as he put his son down in the living room. "Not so good. His been locked up in his room all night long and he doesn't want me to call the cops." They sat down in the living room watching Travis play in silence. "I think it's time to call the cops Mia." Leon finally broke the silence, she looked up at him unsure if he was being serious. "Are you sure about that?" Layla asked what Mia was thinking. "Yeah, we don't know who's doing this. Obviously the only suspect is dead, so it can't be Johnny Tran." Mia sighed "what about Lance Tran? he's still alive." "Yeah but his in jail. He was given 30 to life." They stayed in silence once more, all three trying to figure out who would do this. Layla looked over at Mia and said "Maybe it's someone who Vince pissed off." Leon frowned "The only reason that's not possible is because whoever did this is threatening all of us." "So I'll call the cops today." Mia said to no one in particular.

Leon got up and headed up stairs towards Vince's room, Mia had told him where it was. He knocked at the door, but there was no sound. He reached for the knob and turned it but it was locked. "Vince, dawg it's me Leon. Open up man." there was no answer. Leon decided to go back downstairs where Mia was on the phone with the police department.

Mia hung up and looked at Leon "They're on there way. I hope we made the right decision." "Of course we did. Someone needs to help us search for them." Layla put in. "Is Dominic going to come?" Leon asked from his seat. "I don't know, he's not going to leave Letty by herself with Mackenzie, specially at 9 months pregnant." Leon nodded in understanding.

"I think we should go look for a hotel to put Travis to sleep and change." Leon said looking at Layla. "Why don't you guys head to my house, James is there with Anthony. I'll wait for the cops and call you if I need anything. Plus James is coming over in a couple of hours." Layla looked at Mia "We don't want to barge in or anything." "No don't worry about it, go ahead and go take a shower, eat, do whatever you need to do. Trust me it's fine with me and it'll be fine with James." Leon, Layla and Travis headed over to Mia's house.

Mia went to freshen her face up a little before the cops got there. There was a knocking at the door she went to go answer it. "Hello, I'm detective Miles." there where cop cars outside and two cops in back of the detective. "I'm Mia. Come on in." The detective looked around the living room. "So Mia when did you find out that the person was missing?" "Yesterday, her husband Vince called me and told me that he found a note on the kitchen floor." Miles looked at her with suspicion. "Can I see that note? And where is Vince now?" Mia grabbed the note from the coffee table and handed it to him. "Vince is upstairs in his room, he is obviously to distraught to come down." the detective nodded and looked over at the two officers with him. They whispered to each other, Mia couldn't make out what they where talking about.

"Mia, who was the last person to see your…" "My friend Cynthia and her daughter is Christina." Mia said. The detective looked at a picture of the family "So who was the last person to see Cynthia and Christina?" Mia had seen Cynthia a day before Vince was due back home. "I saw her a day before Vince was supposed to come back." "Wait come back?" the detective turned around and looked at Mia. "Yes he was out of town for a week. He went to do business in Nevada. He just opened a new auto shop over there." The detective nodded once more. Then went to talk to the two officers. "Mia, I have to go but the officers here will be taking care of everything. I might drop by later, nice meeting you." he extended his hand for her to sake and she took it. "Ok, thanks"

One of the officers snickered as he looked at the picture of the team taken a couple of years ago. "Some people get what they deserve." he muttered setting the picture down and looking over at Mia. She was taken aback, not realizing why he would say such a thing. "What?" The officer laughed "You heard me. You don't even know who I am do you? I know who you and your whole family are. Dominic the leader of the pack huh…how funny that he's not here to rescue everyone from this mess." Mia had to sit down to take all of this in. She had no idea who he was and how he knew Dominic.

"You're so futile you know that? Having a PhD means nothing Mia." he whispered in her ear. "I am John Linder, Kenny Linder's son. Yeah I'm the one who was effected when your stupid brother nearly killed my father. I've been following your family ever since Dominic went to jail. I know about everything and everywhere you have gone. So when I found out that one of your own was missing I made sure I got the case." he smiled evilly. "I never thought that your brother getting 2 years for nearly killing my father was fair or the fact that he got away with steeling merchandise from trucks or that he killed Johnny Tran." "He didn't kill Johnny Tran!" she blurted out. "Ah…so he had something to do with it?" he raised his eyebrows and laughed. "No! he didn't have anything to do with it" Mia tried to take it back, but it was to late she had already said to much.

Dominic sat in silence trying to figure out what to do. Who would want to hurt is family? As far as he knew Johnny Tran was dead and Lance Tran had ended up in jail for something that he had nothing to do with. He couldn't think of anyone else, unless of course it was Dekashi.

Dekashi is a man of money, who has a grudge against Dominic for showing him up at the races. He was known throughout the Tokyo racing world as a man with a lot of enemies. If things didn't go his way all hell broke loose. When Dekashi showed up he had everything falling into the place he wanted. Dominic had missed about 2 months of racing, due to Letty's pregnancy, she had some complications. When she was finally able to take care of Mackenzie, Dominic started attending races again and that's when Dekashi started to loose. Dekashi had made dead threats against Letty and Mackenzie, but never actually went forward with them.

Now Dom was worried that maybe just maybe Dekashi decided to start with his family in the U.S. He got up and began to pace the living room area. The door opened and Mackenzie walked through carrying a grocery bag almost as big as her. Dominic walked over to her and took the bag from her as Letty walked in.

"There's more in the car." Letty eyed him as she settled the two bags she had, on the counter top. "Ok I'll go get them, come on Mac." he called his daughter, she ran pass him and into the hallway. Dominic followed at a slower pace, she was already at the elevator standing on tiptoes, as her little finger pushed the button as fast as she could. "Daddy why wont the elvater open?" "Maybe it's because you're pushing the button to much." Her face took a look of confusion and curiosity, she put her finger to her mouth and thought about it for a moment. Dom just chuckled and picked her up. "Maybe." she finally responded with a sigh, wrapping her small arms around Dom's neck.

They got to the garage and opened the trunk, "What she do buy the whole store?" Dominic asked as he saw the bags and bags of groceries. Mackenzie just shrugged and grabbed the bag closest to her.

"Yo Dominic!" Dom turned to see who was calling him and smiled when he saw Sean. "What's up bro?" Dom asked hitting fists with him. "Not much just came over to see if you're going to be at the race on Friday night?" "Yeah maybe. Help me out here man." Sean looked into the trunk. "Yeah sure. Hey Mac how's it going?" Sean asked. "Ok." Sean grabbed the rest of the bags and Dom closed the trunk. "Have you heard anything about Dekashi?" Dom asked. "Nah man. Well actually come to think of it, I did hear that he went over to China, something about buying a car over there or something. Why you ask?" Dom nodded "How about we talk about it upstairs, you never know who's watching."

They walked into the apartment and put the grocery bags on the dinning table. "Yo Let, what the hell you buy?" "Food you idiot." she retorted. "Right, what do we have none or something?" Dominic asked as Letty walked into the room. "Have you checked the fridge lately?" She cocked her eyebrow at him. Sean was amused by the couple, meanwhile Dom opened the fridge to find an almost empty fridge except for the few things that he wouldn't eat cause he was picky. "Hey Let." Sean greeted. "Hey Sean."

"So what was the whole thing about Dekashi about?" Sean asked as Dom handed him a beer and began to put away groceries. "Something weird is going on, I was just wondering what Dekashi was up too. We might go out of town for a family thing." Dom mentioned, explaining what was going on back in the U.S "Oh, well I also came because I got kicked out of my house and was wondering if I could maybe stay with you guys for awhile. Just until I can get a place." he was kind of embarrassed to ask, but his dad had just kicked him out for his lifestyle choice of racing. "Uh…." Dom looked at Letty who only shrugged. "Yeah sure, you can sleep in the guest room." "Cool thanks you two are the greatest people I've ever met." he smiled.

"Mia called earlier." Letty spoke up, Dom looked over at her. "What she want?" Letty shook her head "I don't know she sounded rushed and she said something very weird." "What she say that was weird?" Letty rubbed her belly and explaind, "Well first she called the cops, because of what happened and she said that one of the officers told her that he was John Linder." Dominic groaned "I didn't know he had a son." Letty commented, but Dom stayed quiet. "At what time did she call?" he asked. "Um, when you went to get the groceries, but she was in a hurry and that's all she told me." Dom nodded, grabbed the phone and left.

"Who's John Linder?" Sean asked, Letty looked at him "Some guy." was her only reply.

Dominic walked into the kitchen and looked at Letty who stared back at him. "What?" she asked. "You think you can travel?" She rolled her eyes. "Why?" "I just bought 3 tickets to L.A." Dom walked passed her. She turned around and looked at his retrieving back "Wait, I'm about to give birth any day now and you want me to travel for 13 hours?" she asked incredulous. "Yeah." he said in a matter of fact tone. "You're going to owe me for this." she responded, he looked at her with raised eyebrows and said "you already owe me." "I'm not the one who got me pregnant, you're the one who got me pregnant." "Yeah like you tried to stop what was happening." he laughed, she rolled her eyes, gave him the finger and walked away.

She didn't know where she was at. It was dark, cold and she felt wet, it smelled damp. She feared for her daughters life more then her own. She just hoped that someone would come and rescue her.
