~*~ Still Flashback Mode ~*~

By the time he left he was nineteen going on twenty soon. And Vince was twenty. Letty would have probably been seventeen or eighteen. Something like that. And Mia was about ten? Or something.

As Dom pulled up to his house, everything flooded back to him. He was finally home. The memories, Mia and Vince and him as kids. Letty wasn't really in his mind but she was gonna be. He got out of the car and the first thing he saw was Mia running toward him.

'DOM!' She yelled as she jumped him. Now that Dom thought about it she looked more like she was twelve. She looked him up and down and then poked one of his biceps. 'Where did those come from?' She asked laughing. Dom smiled as she took his hand and led him over to the garage in the back of the house.

'Dom! My man!' Vince said as he came out, cleaning his hand on a rag.

'V! Vince! How ya doin'?' Dom said as the embraced each other like brothers.

'Not bad. Me and Mia been wonderin' when you were gonna get back here.' He laughed.

'Is that Letty kid still here?' Dom said as they walked into the garage. Vince stifled a laugh. Dom's face showed that he didn't get what was so funny.

'Oh yeah, that's right, you've been in prison.' Vince said throwing the rag in the corner. 'Well, it's just that Let hasn't been called a little kid in a long, LONG time.'

'And why is that?' Dom laughed. Vince pointed to a girl standing in front of a toolbox. Dom's mouth nearly dropped. She wasn't skinny, she'd filled out into all of her curves, and mind you she had quite a few. Her hair and eyes were still the deep brown color they'd always been. She wore a pair of short jean shorts, a white tank and a pair of boots with flames on them. She stretched out, showing off her ass and legs, which made Dom feel a bit hotter than he'd originally felt.

'Ahem, Letty?' Vince said, watching Dom, wanting Letty to see what she'd done to him. But Dom immediately snapped his mouth shut and returned to his tough guy stance. It was Letty's turn to be surprised.

Letty managed to stifle out a 'Dom?' as she looked at his well-toned body, his black muscle shirt, his black pants and baldhead. She looked about ready to faint. Vince laughed.

'Ah man. You two get a room!' Vince laughed. Letty narrowed her eyes and ran over to him and began to chase him around the house.

'Are those two at it again?' Mia said as she watched Letty hit Vince in the side. Dom smiled.

'Do they do this a lot?'

'You have no idea.' Mia said, sighing. 'Come on, I'll show you your room.'

Dom reintegrated with the house in fifteen minutes. It was like he'd never left. He'd work on the cars with Vince and Letty, and try to help Mia with her homework. He was finally free and happy again.

It was inevitable but at a party, he and Letty had managed to hook up and had sex and decided to stick together. Letty loved Dom and Dom loved Letty and it seemed everyone knew that except the two of them. Well now it was time for them to know it.

~*~ End of Flashback ~*~

'Letty, you seem kind of deep in thought?' Letty woke up. She'd fallen asleep!

'Where are we???' She said looking around. Erin looked at the map.

'We're about five minutes from the border. We have one more bridge to pass. Dammit!' For some reason there was a shit load of traffic. It was the summer, there were probably a lot of people heading for they're vacation.

'Vete a la mierda, qué está con este tráfico? We're gonna be here for a while.' Tori said as she sat back in her seat. 'So Letty, I kinda noticed that you and Vince, how should I put it, aren't very tight anymore. I remember when we were kids V and you were really cool with each other.' Erin looked back at Letty for the answer. Letty sighed.

'Me and Vince were tight; there's no doubt about that. But when all that shit happened a year ago, with our last boost, when Vince got hurt an all. Well, Leon and me went to Mexico for a while, just till things cooled off. But Vince was convinced that we'd abandoned him and Dom and Mia and Jesse. I guess he still hasn't forgiven us. All I know is he's been a prick on my rosebud life since I got back from Mexico.'

'But you came back, wouldn't that prove him wrong?' Erin said as they steadily moved threw traffic. Letty shook her; a little sarcastic smile crossed her face as she looked out the window.

'You'd think the big ape would get the picture.' She said. 'But he thinks the only reason we came back was cause the racing scene was safe now. He figures if there wasn't anymore racing and no place for us on the team, we'd have stayed in San Juan.'

'Well, we won't have to deal with him much longer. The traffic is clearing up right before the bridge.' Tori said as they all looked ahead to the steal bridge. Letty didn't know why but she had a bad feeling about this.

'I think we should turn back.' She said, looking around nervously. Tori shook her head.

'Can't. We're locked in this lane.'

'Come on Let, when we get to the other side we'll turn back.' Erin said. 'Promise.' Letty sunk back in her seat again. Last time she didn't feel right about something, she'd ended up in a Mexican hospital for three days. But what could happen? At least now she wasn't gonna have to leave the state.

'Girls.' She said softly. 'Ya'll don't mind that I wanna go back?'

'No way chica!' Tori said with a smile. 'To tell the truth, I'm surprised we got this far without you wantin' to go back!'

'Yeah, come on girl, that ain't exactly top dog behavior!' Erin laughed as they came to the bridge crossing. Letty couldn't help but feel relieved. She wasn't leaving after all.

~*~ In Dom's Car ~*~

Got to get there. Got to get to the border. Dammit, what is taking this fucking traffic so long?! Dom thought as the traffic thickened. He too could see the bridge, and he could see a couple of cars getting ready to get on it. AND ONE WAS TORI'S!!!

'Fuck it!' Dom said as he turned onto the road and went along the outskirts of the road, past all the honking cars. He watched as Tori's car got past the tollbooth and headed onto the bridge. Up ahead was a small shack for skiers. He drove right in it and he flew threw the air out the other end. It was a ten-foot drop so Dom gripped the wheel. His front wheels landed on the road, his back ones on a black Ferrari. But all that was running threw his mind was 'Get Letty.'

~*~ Letty ~*~

What the fuck was that? Letty craned around and caught a glimpse of Dom's car flying over a couple others. She turned right around, her breath caught in her throat. She closed her eyes tightly. Please God don't let him die! Don't let him get hurt! She heard a loud crash and when she turned around there he was, speeding toward them.

She turned around and felt her heart leap. He was coming for her. But the bridge started to rise before him and he was forced to stop. But it didn't matter. He was still gonna be there when it came down again.

'Oh shit!' She heard Letty yell. She brought the car to a stop and it skidded at least ten feet. There was a screech of rubber and smoke was flying from the tires. It was the Tran Clan.

~*~ Dom ~*~

Dom watched in horror as the Tran's pulled out they're guns and pointed them directly at the car. The car that was carrying his precious Letty. He watched them shout to Tori and then the bridge went up. They were out of sight but definitely not out of mind. What could he do? How could he save her?
