~*~ Dom ~*~
God dammit! What did those bastards want with Letty! He was gonna kill whoever it was that had just taken Letty. But he couldn't just stand there forever and wait for the bridge to come up. The Trans had to go back to their garage sometime, and that was where he would wait. He got in his car and drove off down the road toward Toretto's Garage, to get Jesse, Vince and Leon. He had a feeling he was gonna need they're help.
~*~ A few hours later with Letty ~*~
Uh...my head...Letty sat up and looked around. Where the hell was she? She was sitting on the floor of some room, looked like it was a storage room. The floor was cold and the air was stale. The room was gray, and the walls were cracked, shelves had fallen over, overall it looked almost as bad as Vince's room.
She stood up and looked around. The lights were flickering off and on and she was trying to see if Tori or Erin were in the room with her. She saw a body lying across the floor and her fears rushed threw her like she'd just been hit with a bucket of cold water. She rushed over to the body.
'Oh god, no, please be alive,' she pulled the body over and her eyes widened. 'Riley?' The blonde haired man's eyes snapped open and he squinted at Letty.
'Letty? Is that you...' he broke off as he felt a pain stab his side. 'God damn.'
'Don't move.' She said as she fixed his side. It had a long gash on his left side. 'What are you doing here?'
'Those Tran people...they just said something about a boss and knocked me out. Beat the shit out of me.' Letty hushed and put her hand to his lips.
'Don't talk.' Suddenly there was a bang as the door was opened and a large oriental man stepped threw. Letty stood and backed up a bit. 'What?'
'We would like you to follow us for a moment.' Letty looked down at Riley who nodded. She didn't need to get beat up too. She nodded back and followed them down the long corridor that was the same musty gray color that the room had been. The came to a door and Letty entered.
It was a large gray room with low ceilings that had pipes running across them. The entire place smelled of gasoline. She guessed that it was a closed off or abandoned parking garage. For someone who just wanted to get they're revenge on Dom, this was a little extreme.
'Ah, Miss Rodriguez.' Letty turned at being addressed in such a way. There stood a slim tall man that had a thin mustache and wore a tuxedo. A little bit too dressy for someone in the lower ranks.
'So are you the boss?' Letty managed to spit out. The man gave an airy, light laugh. She then wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
'My dear, 'the boss' as you call him, is much to busy at this moment in time to see you. However we want you to be here when we phone in you ransom to one Dominic Toretto.' Letty's breath caught in her throat. They were gonna ransom her? For what? Dom's car? Or his life?
'You bastard.' She said slowly. 'WHERE ARE TORI AND ERIN?!?!' she shouted. The man again laughed.
'Why they are in good hands, my dear, I promise that they are not harmed.'
'Just like Riley isn't harmed?' she said loudly. The man's smile left and he straightened his bowtie.
'If you wish to leave this situation alive, dear sweet Leticia, I suggest you learn to hold your tongue. And if your life is of no importance,' he stood about an inch from her face. 'Then think of theirs...' Tori and Erin were shoved threw a door, two giant guards behind them.
'If I give the word, both of them will die. And as for Dom, if you don't cooperate, I promise you, he will meet a most untimely fate.' The man then pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, his long spindly fingers punching in a number.
There was a loud dial tone, as if someone had just hit the speakerphone. The cell phone was connected to a small box, which she guessed was why his conversation was amplified. The thin creepy man lifted the phone to his lips and then there was a crackle on the speaker.
'Hello?' Dom's hoarse voice answered. Letty felt her heart jump and her palms begin to sweat. Oh Shit.
'Hello, Dominic? I'm phoning on behalf of one, Mr. Grant. I'm just calling to see if you're wondering about your girlfriend? Letty, wasn't it?'
'Who is this?' Dom said, his voice trembling a bit. 'Who the hell is this?'
'Now now Dominic. Let's not get angry. Just because we've got your girlfriend and might just have to teach her a few....shall we say, manners.'
'You sick fuck, what did you do to her?! What did you do with Letty?!?' Dom's voice raged uncontrollably. Letty couldn't hold it back any longer.
'DOM!' she screamed, pulling her arm away from a guard. 'Dom stay away! Don't co...' she was suddenly grabbed again and one of the guards stuffed a cloth in her mouth and held her back.
'Well, we'll tell you this, Mr. Toretto, Leticia is a very spirited one. She is very hard to control. I'm sure we'll be taking this into account and put her under stricter security...'
'Where the fuck are you?!' Dom yelled into the phone. The thin man merely smiled.
'Tsk, tsk Dominic. Such an unwavering temper may cause the death of Leticia and her friends. I suggest you listen to what I have to tell you.' He said in a very calm, eerie voice.
'What did she do to deserve this?' Dom said, his voice suppressing his anger.
'It's not what she did, Dominic.' The man said, his voice becoming even more creepy and misty. 'It's what you did.'
'What the fuck did I do?' Dom said his voice firm and dripping with dislike.
'Mr. Grant was once a little boy, Dominic. A little boy named Lindor...hm? Does that name seem familiar?' Letty's voice in the back of her head was screaming something at her, and then it hit. That was the name of the man Dominic had beaten, the one who had killed his father.
'Kenny Lindor is somewhere in Ohio, working as a janitor at a highschool.' Dominic said defiantly. The thin man gave a low, trembling laugh.
'But what about David Lindor?' a silence fell over the phone. 'That's right Dominic. He never forgot about what you did to his big brother. In fact, you seem to be pissing off a lot of brothers these days. First Mr. Grant and then Joey Tran...Tsk, tsk they always say prison changes a man, but you never can trust whoever says those kinds of things.' Again, silence over the phone.
'Fuck you.'
'My, my. Well I think that's the cue to start the executions.' The door Letty had entered threw slid open and Riley came in, two body guards on either side of him, a jacket on his arm. Letty began to scream threw the cloth, trying to warn Riley.
Riley got to where the thin man was standing as the man pulled out his gun and aimed it directly at him. Letty screamed and screamed, and tried to wrestle her arms free, but the guards were keeping a tight hold on her. She watched helplessly as Riley stared at her and flashed his gorgeous smile.
'Dammit! Don't kill him!' Erin screamed. There was bang as there was a shot fired. But it was Erin who fell to the ground. Letty looked up and there, holding the gun, was Riley.
'That was boring, let's kill another one.' Riley said waving the gun around, still smiling. He then picked up the phone. 'Hello? Dominic? I just want you to know, before I kill your girlfriend, that Letty and I actually did sleep together and I tell you it was, OH! So good! I mean she is a tomcat in the sack! Man, if I didn't have to kill her I'd like to take another ride on that pony!' Riley said laughing into the phone.
'Riley?! You son of a bitch! I'll kill you!' Dom shouted into the phone. Riley laughed.
'Well, I'll let you in on a little secret.' He then whispered into the phone. 'My friends call me Dave.' He then turned of the phone and threw it to the thin man.
'Very good sir.'
'Bored, bored, bored. I am so very bored. Now, who should I shoot next?' Riley waved the gun around. Then he stopped and a malicious grin crossed his face. He walked over to Letty and ripped the cloth from her mouth. 'Sweet, sweet Letty.' He ran his hand threw her hair and down her cheek. 'How I wish it could have been another way. I would have made you my lover. My wife. My princess.'
'You son of a bitch!' Letty spat out, glaring at him with the utmost dislike. Riley's smile faded and he tore his hand from her cheek. He then walked over to one of his guards who was small and covered all in black and wearing a black helmet. This guard was holding a larger gun. A shotgun.
'Letty, may I present to you, my better-half.' The guard took off they're helmet, revealing a pretty little face, while tussled red hair fell down her back. It was the whore from the races. The same one that had tried to run her and her crew off the track. Riley licked the girl's cheek. 'I told you. Remember when we first met? I told you I had a girlfriend waiting for me. We met on an online chat. Turns out we both killed our parents and both hate Dom and his hussy. Isn't that a coincident!' he laughed.
'You're both insane!' Letty shouted. Riley laughed.
'There's a fine line between genius and insanity.' He said still waving the gun around carelessly his eyes flashing dangerously. Tori let out a small laugh that made all eyes turn on her.
'Well I guess we all know who crossed that line.' She said, her voice obviously pissing the red head off. The whore slapped her.
'Shut up.' She yelled as she hit Tori again with the gun. Riley smiled and pulled her into a hug. He traced kisses along her neck and laughed.
'I love it when you get pushy.' He said, the red head still glaring at Letty and Tori.
'When do we get to kill them, baby? Say it's soon...'
'I think I have a better idea. Put them in the car.' The guards pushed the girls to the corner of the lot where a black '88 Chevy Corvette sat. They forced the two in and shut the doors.
Tori struggled to open the doors but it was locked. The design was like a cop car. No way out unless they opened it for you. Tori sat back in her seat and looked around to Letty, who was staring blankly at the front of the car, her whole body limp.
'Letty?'
~*~ Flashback ~*~
It was two nights after she'd told Dom she hated him. She lay across the bed, the sheets clinging to her skin. She was staring out the window at the moon. She wondered if Dom was staring at that exact same moon and thinking of her. She wondered so much, what he was thinking that very moment.
'Letty, will you close the window. I'm cold.' Letty blinked and everything about the room flooded back to her. She turned over and looked at Riley who was sleeping peacefully next to her. Had she really had sex with him? Or was it all just a bad dream? Sadly it wasn't. It was sex, but not like the kind she and Dom had. It was empty and meaningless. She got out of bed and closed the window. Now whenever she looked at the moon, it would just make her feel empty and cold and guilty.
It wasn't her moon anymore.
