Never is a Long Time

Dom ran his hand over his head and sighed in frustration, he didn't relay know who he was mad with, Tran for what he had done to CJ or himself for heaving a sigh of relief when he realized Tran wasn't going to come after one of his own, of even his sister.

Brian made his way into the kitchen and Dom looked over at him, standing from his place at the table, he smiled tidily and took in his tired face and nodded his head in understanding.

"She ok?" He questioned even though he knew it was pointless. Brian sighed and ran his hand over his face and down to his neck.

"She's pissed, in fact she's wanting a race tonight" Dom nodded his head in understanding, he knew what it was like to want to make everything disappear for those ten seconds, racing was like a drug, once you started you couldn't stop, it hide all the emotions, numbed everything you didn't wasn't to know.

"She got any idea who she's wanting to race" Brian shook his head and leant himself against the counter gratefully taking the beer that Dom handed him.

"Nah….all she wants at the moment is to make race wars come round quicker; she really wants to get her hands onto Tran"

CJ sighed and pulled her top over her head, she stifled a yawn and headed down stairs to the kitchen, and she quickly poured herself some coffee and headed out side to her garage.

She eyed the car in front of her and gave a small smile, she wanted nothing more then to beat the holly crap out of Tran, but she knew that was never going to happen, so she was going to have to settle for second best, beating Tran at race wars, and this little baby was going to help her do it.

She walked over to the car slowly and allowed her hand to run over the cold metal, it had been a while since she had stepped foot in this garage, and allowed herself to look at the car. It had been the first car she had ever drove, the first car she had ever crashed, but unlike the crash that broke her back, she had walked out of it with a broken ankle and a couple of scratches, the car on the other had had been worst of, and she couldn't bring herself to fix it, it was one of the power fullest cars she had ever stepped foot into and it scarred her, but now, now she needed to face her fear, and she was going to do it and going to beat Tran while she was at it.

"She's a beauty" CJ spun her head not even realizing that someone else had entered the garage, hell she hadn't even heard a car pull up, that's how out of it she had been, she shook her head holding her heart slightly as she took in the form of the man in front of her.

"Jeez Vince you scared the crap out of me" She laughed slightly, her eyes twinkling.

"Yea sorry bout that" CJ nodded her head slightly and moved to the side allowing Vince to side step her, she turned on her heal and watched as Vince made his way over to her wreck of car and watched as he circled it, he bent down every now and then, or ran his hands over the exterior.

"What the hell happened to her, the axel is torn to shreds, the body kit, is gonna need replacing, in fact the whole thing is a wreck" Vince said turning his head towards her his face showing how upset he was that a car like that was in the condition it was in.

"I erm crashed it, it was when I first started out, I was out running some cops, I was side swiped, I never got round to re building her, I mean with my dads money I never had to worry being with out a car"

Vince nodded his head again his hand going to run over his head, before he turned his head to once again look over the car.

"You're planning on racing her though?" CJ nodded her head coming to stand by Vince who had a thought full look on his face.

"Yea if I can get her up to scratch I mean it shouldn't be to hard, ive used to work in a garage" CJ stated her eyes twinkling when she saw the shocked and almost disappointed look on his face, if it wasn't bad enough that Leon had a skyline and that he was never allowed to drive it let alone work on it, now he finds out that CJ has a perfectly good one, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to get to work hers either.

"But I mean Ive not relay got the time that I need to give her a full body work over, let alone re spray. So I was gonna talk with Dom, see if you guys wouldn't mind working on it, and I would pitch in when I could"

CJ walked back into the garage and handed Vince his coffee before placing the plate of doughnuts down on the table. She shook her head and watched with a look of mild humor as Vince attempted to juggle the cup a doughnut and the phone at the same time.

She turned her head slightly when she heard the sound of reveling engines and for a moment she thought it was Tran, she wanted it to be Tran, but she knew it wasn't, she could hear the light purr of Brian's Mitsubishi and knew that the team was on its way, just like Vince had said they were.

"Hey" Brian said snaking his arm around her waist and placing a small kiss to the top of her head. CJ sighed and buried her head into her chest, finding herself amazed that this man could just make everything better with one simple touch.

"Vince was right this thing is a beauty" Leon stated his eyes lighting up at the sight of the black Nissan Skyline.

"You don't plan on crashing her again right, because if you are then I will gladly take this baby of your hands" CJ shared a look with Letty and they both burst into fits of laughter at the antics of a grown man. Leon turned to face them and held his hand up in defense, his face turning slightly red.

"What I have a thing for Skylines"

"Yo CJ" CJ turned in Brian's arms and turned to look at Letty

"How bout we leave these guys to it, and you can show me round this big house of yours"

"Sure"
