Summary: This is my take on what happened with Letty and Dom when he got outta Lompoc.
Crazy For You
Chapter 10- Thinking Of A Plan
Dom's POV
It was now a few days later. Jesse was still in the hospital. We had been there everyday. There was still no news if Jesse was going to be OK, and wake up. We did have some good news though. The good news was that no one had yet to hear from Tran since the accident with Jesse occurred, and he told us that things were going to get worse for us if I didn't take his deal.
Me, Leon and Vince were all sitting in the lounge. We don't really do much since Jesse isn't with us it really just didn't feel the same without him. No would dare say those thoughts aloud, but we knew we were all thinking the same thing.
The was no sound in the room. The only sound was the sound that was coming from whatever was on the TV. I wasn't really paying attention to whatever was playing on the TV screen at the time. My mind was wondering off on other things. Like how to get Tran back for hurting someone in my team, and how to do it without getting myself killed. Or getting someone else on the team hurt. I had finally had enough of the silence, and decided that I was going to voice my thoughts out loud.
"OK we need to think of a plan to get Tran back for hurting Jesse." I yelled out a little to loud. Unaware to the fact that Mia was standing in the next room making dinner.
"Yeah, man I agree with you. We have to show that little fucker just who he is dealing with." Vince was first to agree. I knew that he would. No questions asked.
I turned my head to see what Leon thought of it. He was just shacking his head yes, and saying yes that it was a good idea. Him and Jesse were very close friends so I knew that there was nothing from stopping Leon to wanting to get back at Tran just as bad as I did.
"We can't let Mia find out though." I told them. They both immediately shook their heads yes. They knew that Mia got pissed off when we did these kinds of things.
I guess that we had been talking a little bit to loud, because just then the door that lead to the kitchen swung open and Mia came running out. She was pissed off. Just like I knew she was going to be. So much for not letting her know what we were doing.
"No. Dom please don't do this. It will be a lot safer for us if you don't do anything about this. If you do try to get back at Johnny then someone else in the team could get hurt. You know damn well that Johnny can be a threat if you piss him off enough. Also you were just going to come up with something to try and stop Johnny, and not even let me know what you were doing?!" Mia yelled out. I knew that she wasn't going to like the idea of us trying to get back at Tran. She was always telling us that we should just let these things like this go. That nothing good was going to come out if we were going to do something to get even. She would always give us that same speech. Two wrongs don't make a right. That's why I was planning on not telling her. I knew that she wasn't going to understand our decision, but we all had to do this for Jesse.
"Mia listen to me. I know that you hate it when I get into things like this. We have to do it though." I was just about to finish talking, and saying how we were doing it for Jesse, but then I looked up. For the first time in the conversation I saw that Letty was standing in the door way.
"I think it's a good idea." She calmly stated. I was about to say something to her, but before anyone could get anything out Mia was dragging Letty into the kitchen by her arm. She was in for it now. I just hoped that she would be able to talk Mia into letting us get back at Tran.
Letty's POV
It's been a few days after Jesse was put in the hospital. We were always up at the hospital visiting Jesse. We would be there for hours on end. Sometimes the nurses had to come in and yell at us to leave. Since it was after visiting hours. I knew that they were getting tired of always having to tell us to leave. We didn't like leaving him alone though. There was still no news though on if he was going to wake up or not. So we made sure that we were with him as much as we could.
I had drove my car out to the beach. The beach calmed my nerves. Just like engines calmed Jesse's. I couldn't explain to you why exactly the beach and watching the water calmed my nerves it just did. There was just something relaxing about it.
I could sit on the beach and stare out at the water for hours, and never get tired of looking at it. A lot of the time when Dom was locked away in Lompoc I would just come here to think. Thinking back to all the memories when Mr. T was still alive and with us, and when Dom wasn't away from us.
It was a peaceful spot and no one would really bother me here. Everyone in the team knew that I loved being at the beach, but they knew not to bother me when I went.
After sitting and looking at the water for another 30 minutes I decided that I was going to go back home. I wanted to see what everyone else was doing, and to see if we were going to head back up to the hospital and see Jesse. We hadn't been to the races since the accident. No one liked going there without Jesse being there. So since Jesse has been in the hospital we skipped all the races and the parties.
When I pulled up to the house I could hear faint yelling as I got outta my car, and walked to the front door. I quietly opened it. That's when I heard it more clearly. Dom and Mia were yelling at each other. What I caught of the conversation was Dom wanted to do something to Tran, and Mia wasn't going for it. I walked to the doorway and continued to listen. No one had yet noticed me. As I listened more I realized that Dom wanted to come up with a plan to get back at Tran. Dom was in the middle of a sentence when his eyes looked up and connected with mine.
As I voiced my opinion and said that I thought it was a good idea. Mia turned to look at me. The look on her face looked like she was about to kill someone. That someone being me. She walked up to me and got a hold of my arm and quickly pulled me into the kitchen, so that we were away from the rest of the team.
"Letty how on earth can you possible think this is a good idea?!" Mia yelled at me. When we were both standing in the kitchen with the door closed.
"Mia hear me out on this one." I paused and looked at her to make sure that she wasn't going to interrupt me. She just lightly shook her head and waited for me to continue talking.
"I don't want anyone else in this team to get hurt. I also want all this shit with Tran to be done and over with now."
"Yes but Letty if you guys do this. This whole getting back at Tran thing. You know that you guys could get hurt too. Maybe even worse than if we left it alone."
"Mia no matter what the hell we do. If we leave it alone and not worry about it Tran will still come after us. He wants Dom to take that dam deal. He isn't going to stop until Dom takes it. He will hurt one of us even worse then what he did to Jesse. If we go after him. Yes we may be taking a risk by one of us getting hurt, but then that way we know that Tran wont come back after us." I explained to her. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was going to agree with us and let us get back at Tran. I heard the door open and turned around and saw the guys walk in.
"So what is it going to be Mia?" Dom asked.
"Fine. I will go along with the whole you guys getting back at Tran. Under on condition. You all have to promise me one thing though."
"Yeah. Anything you want." I told her.
Dom's POV
I don't see the point of Mia and Letty walking into the kitchen. They were both yelling loud enough that we all heard them. If the windows were opened in the kitchen then I'm sure that the neighbors heard too.
We all listened quietly as we heard Letty yell that she didn't want anyone in the team to get hurt. That's my girl. She knew exactly how to pursue Mia into doing something. I shared a look with Leon and Vince, and they were both smirking too and thinking the same thing that I was thinking. After we heard that Letty was finished talking I got up and motioned with my head for the guys to follow me.
I asked Mia was it was going to be. Was she either with the idea of us getting Tran back or not.
She stayed quite for a few moments then she looked up at all of us. She said yes that she was going to let us do it. Then she told us there was one thing that we had to promise her.
"What is that Mia?" Vince asked after Letty.
"OK. I don't know what the hell the plan is that you guys are going to make up, but whatever it is. You all have to be careful. I know what Letty said is true. Johnny could do something worse to one of us if we don't try to get back at him. It could go either way, but if you guys do try and get back at him he also may try and do something bad to one of you." Mia explained. We all knew she was right. If we were going to get Tran back we needed a good fool proof plan. We all nodded and agreed that we would be careful for her.
We all went into the lounge again and sat around in silence. The only noise that was in the room was the sound of the TV playing just like it was before. We all knew what each other was thinking. We were all thinking of a good plan to get back at Tran with. That's how we stayed the rest of the night. With the TV on, and thinking of a plan.
After a while everyone had gotten tired, so we all slowly made our way to each of our own rooms. Me and Letty walked into bed and I wrapped my arms around her. I was still trying to think of something to get back at Tran with.
I looked over and saw that Letty was sound asleep. I knew that for the past few days Jesse was in the hospital that she hadn't gotten any sleep. She was always just up lying there probably thinking about him. I really wanted her to get some sleep. It wasn't good for her to go a long period of time without sleep. She would sleep for a good maybe 30 minutes then wake up, and shot up in a damp sweat and breathing heavy.
It was good that she got some sleep now. We were going to need her brains to help us think of a plan tomorrow.
All I knew was that we all had to hurry up and come up with a plan and fast to get Tran off our backs, and not bothering us with his stupid deal anymore, and also trying to hurt us into taking it.
I didn't want anyone else getting hurt. It was already bad enough that Jesse was hurt and in the hospital, and not knowing if he was going to wake up.
I looked over at Letty again as she stirred in her sleep. I lightly kissed her forehead, and wrapped my arms tighter around her. I would die before I let anything happen to her.
That's how I fell asleep with my arms wrapped around her, and thinking of some good pay back for Tran.
Important Author's Notes:
Well there is the end of the 10th chapter. OK yes I know this one is short too, and I know that I said it was going to be longer. I have a lot of more exciting things planned to happen in the next upcoming chapters. You just have to deal with this chapter being shorter. It's just meant to be a filler chapter for what's coming up next. Just wait and see there will be more exciting things coming up.
I will give a little sneak peak at to what is coming up in the next chapter. As a gift since this one was so short. The team is working at the garage and they get an unexpected visitor. Ooh who is this visitor you may ask?! I can bet that everyone already knows who it's going to be, and what this visitor wants.
Oh and the day before this happens I'm going to make an authors note, but I'm giving everyone a heads up now. I am going on my summer vacation soon. I will be heading out to Disney World the day after my birthday. My birthday is August 15th. So I will be leaving early in the morning at about 7(I think it is) on August 16th. I live in the Eastern time zone. So those of you not living in that time zone can figure what time it will be for you. Anyway to get back on track. I wont be back until August 24th. So obviously there will not be any updates from 8/16/09-8/24/09. Before I leave I'm going to make sure I get a chapter up the day before I leave. So yea there will be a chapter up on my birthday! =) Also I'm going to try and get a lot written for the chapter that comes after it. So that when I get back I can finish it up and then do some editing then get it up.
Also another thing that I will mention in the AN that I will be making before I leave. When I get back from Disney I will have about. Um. I believe that it's about 6 days before I have to go back to school. So I will still be writing while I'm in school. Also just cause I'm back in school doesn't mean that my writing time is going to go down. Once I'm in school I'm not just going to drop it and only write on weekends or anything like that. Just to let you guys all know though that my updates might get a little slow for like the first week or two of school. Until I can adjust myself to being back in school and not being in summer, and everything like that.
Anyway now that all of that is all cleared up. I hope that you did like this chapter. Again sorry that it was so short. Oh and sorry that this AN is long. It is taking up about a whole page on my word document right now. I just wanted to give everyone a small heads up. Anyway back to what I was saying. Hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter. The next one I will make sure is a lot longer than the past two have been. If you are liking what I'm doing please do review. Tell me was it good? Bad? What you liked about the chapter. Maybe what you didn't like. Anything like that will do me good! =) Or if you don't feel like leaving a small review then just add it to your favorite story's list or on story alert. So that I know you are reading it, and liking it. =) I promise that the next chapter will be longer and a lot better, because it's all leading up to something big and something good. The next chapter will be out soon.
