A/N Trying to post as much of this as I can please bare with me.
Chapter 2
Meeting the Crew
"I'm hungry!" Roman yelled as he made his way into Brian and Dom's. He was supposed to work at the garage for the day. "Dude shut up." Han called from the love seat but it was already too late Josey had been woken up. She yelled out in terror. Han rushed over to her. "Josey. Baby girl." He spoke calmly letting her know that she was not alone. "I'm safe?" She asked. "You're safe Josey." She relaxed into his chest and let him comfort her. Roman was speechless for once, the girl's face was covered in bruises. "Sorry if I scared ya doll. I'm Roman Pearce." The tall black man said as he patted her shoulder and winked at her. Josey couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. He must be the flirt and he wasn't a bad looking guy.
Mia came down the stairs carrying a cranky and sleepy looking Jack. "Who in the hell is yelling?' She said. It was clear that Roman's loud mouth had woken her and the toddler and she was pissed. "I'm sorry sis." He said as he kissed her check and took baby Jack who was reaching for him. "So what's for breakfast?" He asked trying to joke with her. Mia had had very little sleep the night before and she had been trying to sleep in, hence why she wasn't at the diner and Letty at home. "You can fix your own damn breakfast." She said crankily. Josey wanted to help as much as she could; they had put themselves in danger for her life. She went to stand and Han offered her help up. She headed in toward the kitchen and tripped, her legs felt like they had never supported weight before. Roman caught her before she hit the floor. "Thank you." She said. "Here I'll help ya back to the couch doll." He said. "No I need to walk and try and get this soreness out. What do you want for breakfast? I make a mean fried egg or anything else you want." Josey said trying to smile but it came out more a cringe from the pain in her side. "Its okay doll I'll just go on to the garage and give Dom and Brian hell." He said as he handed Jack back to Mia.
"Shit." They heard Mia curse. "What's wrong?" Han asked as he got up from the love seat. "I have an appointment today with my old school to see what I need to pay to get back in and I can't take Jack. Shit I forgot all about this." Mia groaned, how could she have forgotten something so important. "Leave the little guy here I've got him." "Are you sure Han it's only supposed to be for an hour or so?" "Yeah." Mia was grateful, Han was definitely a good friend and she would miss him when he went to Tokyo.
Josey and Han were alone by noon, other than the toddler babbling at the TV as he watched Looney Toons. Josey needed to go pee something awful but she didn't want to try the stairs but it was better than peeing on herself. She got up and made it to the stairs but on the first step she tripped and almost fell. Han was there in a flash. "Let me grab Jack and I'll help you up there." "Okay." She replied it angered her that she needed help getting up the stairs this was the worst beating her father ever gave her.
Han helped her upstairs and waited patiently for her to finish he had Jack in his arms "Play v-game. Play v-game." He babbled happily. Han knew that he was going to have to play Grand Theft Auto with the little boy but he didn't mind he had planned on having a few little boogers with Gisele but that dream was lost.
Someone knocked on the door, which was uncommon around Dom's place. He opened the door and put Jack in the bathroom with Josey. "Stay put." He ordered. If it was her father Han would have to deal with him alone.
Han went downstairs and looked through the peephole it was just Tej. He opened the door. "Man why didn't you use your key?" He asked they all had a key to the house. "I was testing driving my new baby and forgot them. I was coming by to get my spare set here." Tej said laughing. "Give me a second man." Han went upstairs and helped Josey while carrying a babbling Jack down the stairs. Tej was playing Grand Theft Auto and Jack immediately wanted down. Han sat him on the ground and he toddled happily over to his other uncle and started climbing in his lap.
"Tej this is Josey Walsh, Baby girl this is Tej." The man didn't look up from his game with his nephew to see the new girl. He just said "Hey." Josey laughed they were a strange family but she really liked them all. "Anyone else likely to show up today?" She asked smiling at the attractive Asian-American. He smiled and it was bright and sexy as he pulled a bag of chips out of his jacket pocket and began munching on them. Josey liked him a lot. "Nope you've met everyone." He said setting down to her next of the love seat.
Tej died because Jack was pushing buttons at random and he got up to fix him a sandwich when he noticed the shape the girl was actually in. He was going to call Brian and find out what happened, if there was thing that no one in the crew tolerated it was the abuse of women and children, he was enraged at the sight of the girl.
