Chapter 44: Such A Tough Guy
"Letty, I'm telling you, Hector saw it with his own two eyes."
"Yeah, but this is the same Hector that supposedly saw Pam Anderson naked." Letty replied, moving around Dominic as she started preparing dinner.
As Letty sliced tomatoes, Dom sighed and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I know she's your sister and I know that we haven't gotten along in the past, but I'm over that." He told her.
Letty pushed her hair over to one side and for a split second, Dom got sidetracked. Letty looked at him as if to tell him to continue.
"Look, she's been hanging around with that doctor a lot."
"So, she needs friends here besides us." Letty said, folding up laundry.
"Letty, don't be so damned naïve." Dom hissed. They were trying to keep their voices down as Joss was in the living room, playing with Ana.
"Dom, what do you think she's gonna do?"
"I have no clue and that's what worries me. Just, please, Let, don't leave Ana with her tonight. Not while we're gone at the races where no one can reach us." Dom pleaded with his wife.
"Okay. Okay, fine. If you're so adamant about this, we can ask Lulu." Letty said.
"Lulu? Lulu from next door? Are you serious?"
"Sure. Why not? She's eighteen. She's responsible and she'll probably only be studying while she's here watching her." Letty said.
Dom gave her a look.
"Or she could have hot and steamy sex with her boyfriend on our couch." Letty laughed while folding one of Ana's onesies.
"That's not funny."
"Give it up, Dom. I think she's a lesbian."
"Well, I guess that makes it all better," Dom added sarcastically.
Dom moved Letty's hair and put his face in the crook of her neck, breathing her scent in. To him, she smelled heavenly. Letty leaned her head back against his chest and closed her eyes.
"I'm telling you, she's pure evil." He said. Letty opened her eyes and rolled them.
"Call Lulu."
At the races that evening, most of the racers were shocked to see Dominic arrive with his team.
Being off the race scene for a while made them undercover celebrities. There had been rumors of their "disappearance".
"Letty, you don't look dead at all." A big-boobed, blond-haired girl said to Letty.
"That's right. I'm not." Letty said to the ditzy girl. Letty's condescending tone was not caught by the airhead.
All Letty could do was roll her eyes when the girl walked away.
"So, Leon, how did it feel to actually meet your biological father? Is it true that he's black?" Another racer chaser asked.
"Yo, Hector!" Dom called his friend over.
"What's up, man? You feeling it tonight? They love you!" Hector said, excitedly.
"Yeah, man. But what's up with all these rumors? Letty died? Leon's dad is black?" Dom questioned.
"I have no clue but I do know that when you don't give people the answers they want, they make them up themselves." Hector said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I see." Dom said.
"Well, look, man, third race of the night starts in ten minutes." Hector informed Dom.
"Sounds good."
"Did you take into consideration what I said?"
"Yeah, man. I told Letty about Joss's connections."
"And?"
"Letty's not hearing it. She doesn't like her sister's name being dragged through the mud. You know?"
"Yeah, man. I wouldn't believe it either if it was my sister. Just try to talk some sense into her before it's too late."
"I'm trying my hardest."
"Respect." Hector and Dom tapped fists and went their separate ways. Dom was always worrying about his family but he never thought that he would fear for their safety. He was not only worried for them but he feared for each and every one of their lives. For that, he had to make sure they were safe no matter what.
All night, Joss was watched by Dom and other member's of the team who believed Hector's story about Joss's connection with an old enemy of Dom's.
Forget about Johnny Tran for a split second. Tran was just a west coast worker of the man that Dom went way back with.
Angelo De Luca was the man where it all started. De Luca had never stopped watching the whereabouts of the people who had once mattered most in his life.
He believed deeply in the saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Angelo was nobody's fool and he was definitely not someone who you wanted to see angry.
Not only that, but he was someone who you never wanted to go into business with. No matter how bad you had in. If you're living in the projects of a shitty town or eating out of trash bins.
De Luca was an instigator. Whatever you needed, he was sure to have. For the right price. For the right information.
Back at the house…
The team returned to find a peaceful house. The sound of nothing alarmed Letty at first until she noticed the note on the table from their babysitter.
Parents went out and needed me to babysit my little brother as well.
Ana is with me at my house. Letty, sorry for the mini heart attack you
had when you didn't see us. Dom, sorry for the hitting.
LuLu 3
"Hitting? What hitting?" Dom asked aloud. Letty smacked his arm as if on cue.
"That hit." She responded.
"What was that for?"
"For the mini heart attack that I had and you didn't." Letty smiled. He looked down as his beautiful wife and pulled her tightly toward his chest.
"I want to get into something."
"What do you want to get in to?"
"You." He said in his sexy baritone voice. Letty put her hands on his muscular shoulders and instantly her panties were wet.
