Mia and Letty sat on the couch for what seemed like hours. Letty began to feel like see was on Oprah barring her soul for all. But she knew she owed it to Mia the truth about the last 8 years. Hell she owned it to herself to say it out loud. Finally Mia got to the heart of the matter. Where was her brother.

"So, he just left. Like that in the middle of the night." Mia couldn't believe that Dom would do something like that, just leave Letty and Zan like that. She wondered if there was something more that Letty wasn't telling her.

Letty could see the wheels turning in Mia's head. "It's late Mia. Don't hurt yourself trying to figure out your brother and the reasons why he does the things he does. I have." Letty got up and stretched. "I should check up on Zan."

Mia picked up the mug. "Hey, Let."

Letty stopped at the steps. "He's really beautiful."

Letty smiled "He's the one good thing Dom and I did right." With that Letty climbed up the stairs. It felt strange to be in this house again. Mia hadn't changed much in the house over the years. She noticed that the door that lead to hers and Dom's room was open. On the bed Zan was sprawled out face plastered in the pillow. He sleeps like Dom, flat on his belly. She can never figure out how they breath with their faces in the pillow. It freaked her out when her and Dom first got together how he slept. But soon she made it enjoyable.

Letty pulled the cover back slowly to relieve Dom's smooth ass. The man hated pajamas, not that she minded. His lack of clothing made things more interesting for her. She raised her hand high in the air and swung it down slapping him on the ass. It left a Letty size hand print on his left butt cheek.

"Jesus, Let!" Dom yelp flipping over. Letty couldn't help but laugh. Dom pulled the covers over his exposed front. "You know there are better ways to wake a man up."

"But, I like my way" She replied with an evil smile.

He jumped out the bed pulling her on top of him. Letty smiled kissing him.

Letty pulled off Zan's shoes tossing them aside. She went into the out hallway closet and got some clean linen. She threw a blanket over him. She then followed him into sleep. It felt good coming home.

Letty woke up early as she was prone to do. It was one of her vices that Dom hated. If you could call waking up early a vice. Runner was still in the same spot on the lazy boy. She snapped her fingers and the dog lifted his head. He hopped off the bed and gave her a quick nuzzle. Letty let him out in the backyard. She slowly made her way to the garage. The first thing she noticed was the large lump in the middle of the garage. She pulled off the sheet and the charger sat a mangled mess. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Damn." Dom told her he crashed the charger, but this heap of metal before her was a crime against nature. She ran her fingers over the body of the car, the metal was cool.

"That thing is a goddamn curse." Mia said leaning against the door.

Letty shook her head. "Nah, Mia. It's a thing of beauty." She looked up at the other girl. "You kept it?"

Mia moved in more. "I wanted to junk it, but it's the only thing I got left." She said sadly. Mia sat down on a stool and just watched Letty stare at the car.

"I would spend hours watching Dom and your Dad fix this thing." She leaned against the car and sighed. She remembered the days she would sit and watch Dom and his day work on the car. Every once in a while they would ask her to hand them something, which she did gladly. She loved to watch them work on that car. It was like seeing an artist paint or a musician play the piano.

They were both silent for a while in their own world remembering those days when things were simple.

"I thought I take Zan to go see your folks and Jesse. Then maybe drive up to Chino to see Abuelita and my crazy cousins."

Mia nodded. "Ok." She got up to head into the house. "You want breakfast?"

"You cooking? Cause breakfast in my house consist of cereal and toast."

Zan woke up not sure of where he was. He looked around and remembered that he was in L.A. at his Dad and Mom's old house. He walked down stairs and heard a commotion in the kitchen.

"Mom?" He called out.

"She's outside." Mia replied from the kitchen.

Zan looked around trying to gain his barrings. The house looked much different in the sunlight. He noticed more picture of his Dad when he was a kid, his Mom in really tight clothing, and the same guys in the photo upstairs.

"You hungry?" Mia asked wiping her hands on a rag. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so I cooked a little of everything."

"Who are these guys?" He asked pointing at a picture.

Mia took the picture down from the mantel. She smiled as she rubbed her fingers softly on the frame. "They're the Team." She said proudly.

"Team?"

"This guy is Vince. He and your Dad were friends since the third grade. Jesse and Leon here, and they just showed up one day and never left."

"That's Vincent?" He pointed to the big burly man in the picture. This was the great and mighty Vince. His parents didn't talk much about their past. Vince was another name that came up in his parents conversations. But they never argued when they talked about Vince. Instead they were always sad when his name came up. Especially his Dad.

Mia nodded. "Yep, that's old Coyote." She put the picture back on the mantel. "Your parents didn't tell you about the old team?" She asked confused.

"No they don't talk much about the 'old times'" he put up air quotes. "They just told me that I got my name from a old friend of my Dad. They didn't really talk about you much either."

Mia looked hurt. "Really?"

"Only when they were arguing." He looked down at his bare feet. "They didn't know I was listening. Mom always wanted to talk to you. Dad wouldn't let her. Told her it was a bad idea. That would put all in danger. He said that a lot."

"Say what?"

"It's a bad idea. We shouldn't do that do this. Like he was scared or something." Zan was getting angry. His Dad didn't like them doing too much that didn't require his supervision. He didn't even want him to go to school or make friends. His Mom had fought for that.

"Sounds like Dom." Mia wrapped her arm around the boy. "Come on, food getting cold."

His eyes got three sizes big when he saw the spread Mia had put out. "You cook all this?"

Mia laughed. "Yeah. Sit down."

Zan did as he was told. He piled eggs, bacon, and fried potatoes on his plate. Then he carefully separated his food so that it wouldn't touch. After he was happy with the position of his food he said grace and ate. "Did my Mom eat?"

"Not yet. I'll go get her."

"What she doing?" He asked with a mouth full of food.

"She probably underneath the charger."

He swallowed. "Charger?" He hopped up out his chair. "The one my Dad and his Dad built?"

"So your Dad told you about the Charger, but not about me." She huffed.

Zan grinned. His face was greasy from the food. "Yeah, we were supposed to build a car together. But, he left before we got a chance."

Mia kissed the top of his head. "I'm sure Letty will let you help, fix it now."

Letty was sitting in the driver's side of the Charger trying to figure out her next steps. She need to get in touch with Brian and figure out a way to clear Dom's name. She knew the only way that Dom was coming back to her and their son is if his name was clear. Then he could face his demons and make atonement. The only thing she need to do this without Mia finding out. Mia always had a way of figuring things out. Letty smiled when she saw Zan standing in the door with his mouth wide open.

"Hey kiddo."

He hesitantly walked towards the car. Like Letty he ran his fingers across the car. "It looks sad, Mom."

"Nothing I can't fix. The engine still in tact. Just needs some body work, paint and some TLC and it'll be purring like a kitten."

Mia wanted to argue. To tell Letty to forget about it. But the look on their faces was priceless. And as long as they we're working on the car, then at least she would have them close.
