Hey everyone :) Sorry for keeping you waiting but school is so annoying and time consuming. On a good note winter break is fast a approaching and I'll be able to upload more often.

I don't own Fast and Furious of any of the characters, although I'm still trying to save up enough money but it might take me a few years. I only own Katie O'Connor :)

I hope you enjoy :) ~Hanna West

For five months Dom and I moved from place to place, from Rio to Costa Rica. We finally landed in Panama City, Panama. Dom got a job at a local garage while I helped the owners wife with the running of her fresh produce stall, but I never passed up a chance to help Dom.

The sun beat down on another busy Sunday, I was helping Dom under the hood of a recent drop off when Kendrick came running in.

"Telephone, telephone." He shouted in Spanish, tugging at my arm. I smiled down at the little boy, he was the owners son and we'd become kinda close. I followed him out to where the pay phone was and kneeled down to him.

"Thanks Ken." I answered the phone and sighed when I heard Mia's voice on the other end. "Mia, I thought Dom told you not to call us here."

"Katie, it's Letty." Mia spoke, my grip tightened on the phone. "She's been murdered." I couldn't breath. I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. I just stood there, still as a statue as my eyes welled with tears. I didn't even listen to the rest of what Mia was saying, all I could do was fall to the ground.

I lost track of time because the next thing I knew Dom's callused hands where cupping my face and lifting me up off the ground.

I opened my month to tell him but the words got caught in my throat, I started hyperventilating and shaking my head. No, no, no. She not dead, she can't be dead. This isn't happening.

"Katie, what's wrong? Who was on the phone?" Dom asked forcefully, holding me close to his chest. I felt his heart beat increase, telling me he was starting to panic.

"She's dead."

I hated funerals, the only funeral I've ever been to was my grandmother on my fathers side. I was 6 and didn't truly understand death yet, I still was waiting for grams to open her eyes and tell me she was just taking a nap, but she didn't and now as I stood on top of a hill in a L.A cemetery watching a priest tell everyone how wonderful Letty was I realized that she wasn't coming back either. The whole way here I convinced myself that this was some kind of cruel joke, a ploy to get Dom and I back. But as I watched the mourning people and distantly heard the priest speak kind words the realization all came crashing down.

"This isn't right." Dom muttered. "You should be down there."

"You know if I go down there I can't stay with you. Do you see the line of police cars? There waiting for you to show up." I sighed whipping my eyes of the leaked tears.

"You know it's not too late. You can go with Mia and then you won't have to run anymore. You could be normal."

"I'm anything but normal." I smiled, but my smile soon turned to a frown. "Promise me something."

"Anything." Dom replied immediately.

"Promise me that we'll do whatever it takes to find and kill Letty's murderer."

Dom looked at the dissipating crowd and his eyes hardened. "I promise."

As we pulled up to the old fort, we spotted a police car stationed out front. Dom took one of the back streets and we snuck in though the garage.

"Red's a good color on you." I stated, with a light smile admiring Mia's red and white polka dot dress.

Mia instantly turned around and rushed Dom and I, she pulled Dom into a tight hug and closed her eyes, savoring the moment. "I told you not to come." She breathed, letting Dom go and wrapping her arms around me. "There staking the place out, If they find you guys..."

"They won't." Dom assured, placing a hand on Mia cheek. Dom scanned the garage, his eyes landed on his old dodge challenger and he let go of Mia.

"Letty wouldn't let them junk it." Mia smiled. "Even though it is a God damn curse. When she came back she was always in here. Working on it day and night." Mia and I watched ad Dom inspected the car, I crossed my arms over my chest and let out a breath.

"Sound's like something she would do." I commented.

"It was weird. It was like she knew you guys were coming back." Mia smiled, recalling Letty saying those exact words.

"I want to see the crash site." I stated, a hard look in my eyes. "I need to see it."

Dom looked over to me with sad eyes and nodded, putting his hands on my hip he pulled me close.

"I'll go get a jacket." Mia said before leaving the garage.

Dom tilted my chin up with his finger and gave me the 'what's wrong' look. I shook my head and sighed. "Nothing, I'm fine."

"You're far from fine." He stated. "I know you. Tell me."

I hesitated and looked down, closing my eyes. "Being here..." I laughed lightly. "All the memories of Jessie and Letty and..." I trailed off when tears started to well.

"Brain?" He guessed. I nodded my head and cast my eyes down again, I hadn't thought about him in so long and being here it just made those memories resurface. "Hey, you don't have to be ashamed. He's your brother, your family."

I violently shook my head, "No, that's the point. He's not my family and this house is where my family lived before he ruined everything and I feel like I'm betraying their memory or something."

"You're not." Dom assured. "Come on, lets get out of here."

Mia took us to where Letty had crashed, it was a deserted stretch of road with only a few light posts illuminating the street. I climbed out of the back and froze, Dom continued forward looking around. I felt my body tense and I closed my eyes, I could practically watch the car flip and hear the gun shot echo throughout the stretch of road.

Reopening my eye, I sighed Mia was glancing between Dom and I with a worry stricken face. I walked over to where Dom was and bent down next to him, and ran my hand over the ground. "I can't be here." I whispered, standing up. Instantly regretting my decision.

Dom followed suit and we made are we back to the car. Before we could get out of doge we had to drop Mia off, we stopped a few blocks away and she got out. I got out too and pulled her into a tight hug.

"You found something back there." Mia stated, letting go of me.

"There were burn marks on the ground." I sighed after a pause. "The kind that can only be caused by nitro meath. There's only one guy in all of L.A that sells that."

"Nothing you guys do is going to bring her back." Mia said sadly. "If I were Letty I would ask you...no I would beg you, please let this go. Before it's too late."

I stared at her for a second, shaking my head. "It's already to late."

Mia nodded, understanding where I was coming from. "I love you." She stated smiling at me.
I thought back to the last time I told that to Letty and smiled. "I love you too, Mia. Be safe." I pulled her into another hug before climbing back into Dom's car.

Pleasetell me what you thought and what you'd like to see in upcoming chapters. Have a wonderful day or night depending were you are :)
