14. Saving the Team Part I

A devilish expression was spreading on her face as she walked towards "The Demons" trailer, she recognized a few faces from his crew but none of them seemed to notice her. She examined the area and slowly went out of their sights to the back area of the trailer. There was a small window at the back of the van, she assumed it was leading to the bathroom or to the back of the trailer, the latest cabin.

The window was too high for her to climb without help, she needed something to lift her from the ground. Letty searched around desperately for a chair or something else. The only thing that was in her reach was a big wooden box, its height was a meter and its width was a little wider. She dragged it below the window, thanking god that it didn't make any noise while rubbing the floor.

When it was in the right place she hurried to climb on top of it and glanced into the trailer. The back of the trailer was darkened, she could see a dimmed light far ahead, she assumed it was the improvised kitchen or the driver's cell. The door to the cabin she was peeking into was half open, it contained a small brown couch and a white plastic chair that a few magazines were lying on. Letty heard a few steps coming closer, she didn't freak, she didn't even move.

"I'ma look for my gun, I think I've left it in my bedroom." Was all she could hear and someone's shadow turned to the left, right before the room she was peeking into. A woman's giggle was heard pretty close, Mio stood in the middle of the corridor and Cole showed up infront of her, Letty could see their shadowed lips touching as their faces became closer. Letty didn't move, the half closed door of the cabinet almost interrupted her to see what was going on when the kissing couple leaned a little backwards but she was too afraid to even breathe.

"You deal with the tough one, I'm on the policeman." He said to her, handing her a gun. Letty's eyes widened at once. Were they talking about Dom and Brian?

"Here's how you're gonna do it, tonight I'll let him win, even though I did some improvements to my car that can smoke his poor Mazda, his victory party would be you, he obviously doesn't care about his Latina former bitch anymore, so you're coming to his trailer tonight after the race, he feels like a winner and you give him the last fuck, or at least that's what he thinks he's gonna get, when he least expects it you pull out a gun, and bang! No more Torreto empire." Cole spoke up fluently and mischievously.

"And what are you gonna do?" Mio provoked him, clenching to the fringe of his top. "I'm going to find that blonde cop when he's on his own, if he's gonna be with Dom's sister – even better, she's next."

"This is a good plan." Mio said to Cole admirably, looking into his eyes. Her cherry lips were in his face, tempting. "I know, what can I say, I'm a genius." He bragged. "A very twisted one…" Mio added in a lower voice. "Remember – we're taking down anyone who's trying to stop us, if something goes wrong…always be prepared for the worst." Cole warned her, waving with his gun infront of her. She giggled and it seemed that she was excited and impatient to hurt Dom.

Letty was in rage, she felt the blood boiling in her veins. She couldn't believe that bitch used Han to get to Dom, and used Dom just to do what she was trying to do to the team. Dom's unfaithful behavior hurt her so much, but this set her off completely, discovering all of this had sent her to a whole new level of anger.

Letty's expression hardened as she saw the couple starting to kiss and take each other's clothes off. She slowly and noiselessly got off that box and walked away to the sound of their dimming moans.

She knew she can not meet the team right now, if they'd see her Dom might want to face her and clear things up about Mio, but Letty had proportion, she knew she can solve their romantic issues later, but right now his life was in danger, and so does Mia's and Brian's.

The sun had started to set and the hour was 8 PM, Letty sat in her car, still thinking what to do, how to get this over with.

The final race was about to being and as promised – Cole, Dom and another guy got to the final race tonight. "Goodluck, Dom." Vince said, hugging his friend ostentatiously. Leon tapped on Dom's shoulder and Mia gave him a warm hug. Dom walked towards Brian's standing place, they switched looks, not feeling the need to talk in order to communicate, they had this strong, unknown and unexplainable bond that made them fight harshly and laugh and act like best friends the following minute.

Dom nodded, Brian nodded back and Dom retreated into his car. At that very moment even though Dom tried to play it cool, his knees were shaking and for the first time in his life he didn't know how this is going to end.

He missed Letty's kiss for luck and he missed knowing that she's gonna be there when he comes back from a race. He always used to get out of his car straight into her arms, she was his trophy and the huge amount of money was tossed aside. Mio's voice interrupted Dom's thoughts as she stood behind the car door, leaning her elbows on the open window. "Guess what's gonna be your price tonight?" she said with a devilish smile, leaning her head forward, letting her breasts spill out from the cleavage almost entirely. Dom looked straight into her eyes, he felt like he was no longer under her spell.

All of a sudden this felt so cheap to him, so not true. Just flesh. "Kiss me." She demanded, trying to sound sexy. But actually this gave him a little nausea, or was it the stress from the race? He couldn't tell. He bent forward slowly and knew this was the test. He felt nothing but soft lips colliding, she shoved her tongue into his mouth but he didn't do the same. She pulled away and licked her lips, feeling that something is wrong but not showing it. "I'll be right here, for you." she said and walked away.

Letty was seeing all of this from a distance, she blended in with the rest of the crew that was standing on the edges of the runway. For her that kiss was the last proof that everything between her and Dom was over. She didn't know that the kiss was the end of his affair with Mio, she didn't know he was just now starting to get what he did to her and started to feel remorse.

The cars were to be started and everybody stood stiff and tensed to see how it ends. Dom had always a certain strategy – always keep the NOS for the end. This was something that Cole didn't do this time, he and Dom were together in the same line while the third guy was far behind. Cole pressed the NOS and flew 20 meters ahead, Dom managed to gain on him without the NOS, meanwhile Cole's NOS started to lose its effect and they were heading to the finish line. Dom pressed the NOS button and drifted full speed ahead, leaving Cole behind.

"Bingo." Cole smirked to himself and raised the passenger's sit padding. He caressed his gun and put the padding back on it.

Dom went out of his car, his shoulders were stretched back and he walked towards Mia and Brian cockily. Mio followed him and hugged him warmly. "Here's the winner!" She announced excitedly as Mia and Brian stared at her disgustfully.

"Hey, I'm off to look for Leon." Vince said, awkward. "Were with you, man." Brian said, a little disturbed by Mio's behavior, he grabbed Mia's hand, pulling her away from there. Brian and Mia headed into Vince and Leon's van, they decided to take advantage of this great opportunity while Vince and Leon were partying and Dom was with Mio.

"We need to talk." Dom said, taking her arms off his neck. Mio became serious, her bright brown eyes were trying to see through his blank expression, but she couldn't. "Alright, let's go to your van." She said, trying the seductive tune again. Letty saw the whole thing from a distance, she started to walk towards the Torreto's backside of the van, waiting for them to get inside so she could sneak in. She knew Mio can pull out a gun anytime now so she has to be ready and primed.

Mio kissed Dom all the way into his bedroom, she pushed him slightly on the bed and started to unzip her shorts. "Listen, I said we have to talk." He said, pressing the last word. "What's to talk about?" she asked directly and sat on the edge of the bed, putting her hand on his thigh and slowly going up to his crotch. "You're the winner, I'm your price." She whispered in his ear.

Letty sneaked into the van silently, she sat in the living room and only one thin wall was separating her from the two, she could hear everything.

"I love Letty, I searched for her everywhere, and I should have met her by now because she said she is gonna be here." Dom explained. "You didn't seem to care when we were fucking on the couch at Han's." Mio said sarcastically. "I wasn't thinking." Dom defended himself, recalling how blind he was.

"Letty never cheated on me, never even looked on another man, she was with me since day one. People make mistakes, but I'll do anything from now on to bring her back to me." Dom informed motivated. Mio got up angrily, she looked around, trying to process what had just happened. Her ego was getting the best of her, she was never rejected by any man. "I don't understand." She said, sounding offended.

"You're sexy, funny, smart. You deserve better than this. I had something better than this actually. And I threw it away. I'm in love with Letty, always been and always will." Dom said out loud. Mio just stared at him the whole time, with hate in her eyes. Letty stood at the entrance as Mio's back turned on her, she could now see how Mio's hand was slowly reaching behind her back to pull out a gun.

"Stop." Letty said firmly, suddenly Dom's gaze fell upon Letty, he was about to rise and approach her. "Sit down, Dom." Letty said firmly. "Please, don't get angry baby." Dom's tune softened. "We can solve this later, Dom. But right now there's something you need to know, something more important." Letty said, getting closer, pressing the barrel against Mio's skull, swinging her head a little forward.

Dom's eyes met Mio's, now her expression was blank and unreadable. Mio knew this is the end. She didn't know how Letty figured it out, but she remembered Cole's words. "We're taking down anyone who's trying to stop us, if something goes wrong…always be prepared for the worst." Cole's voice echoed in her head, Mio knew it was the do or die critic moment, it was she or Letty.

I know you waited for a long time for an update, maybe too long, lol. I decided to re-edit this chapter before I will continue to part II.

Some of you even PM me, I wanted to say thanks for that! It shows you really care (:

The story is really coming to an end soon, I hope you like the recent chapters and how the plot develops.

I hope I get to write Part II soon, I was away for a month but now I'm back so it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't forget to review, feedback is GOOD.

Alice (:
