"Hey V, would you run to the store for me real quick?" Mea asked using her foot to pull him out from under the civic he was working on.
"What do you need?" he asked eyeing her warily.
"Milk, cheese, beer, and some olive oil." Mea answered quickly.
"That's all?"
"Yep."
"Dom I'll be back in a few." Vince yelled pulling himself off the floor.
"You can remember it all right? You want me to write you out a list so you don't forget?" Mea asked already rummaging threw the desk for a pen and paper.
"No Mea, I got it." He said grabbing his keys, jumping in his car and pulling out.
A few minutes later the sound of an engine gunning can be heard, and then the screech of tires outside the shop. Mea can hear a pair of shoes stomping into the shop from under the car she's working on.
"Thought you had it V?" Mea asked laughing as she started to pull her self up to go write him up a list.
"Oh." Mea stops when she see's that the stomping feet belong to a young girl who is standing in the middle of the garage a scowl disorienting her face. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Can I help you with something?"
"I need to talk to Dominic." The girl stated still scowling, only this time the scowl was directed at Mea.
"Bout what?" Dom's voice boomed as he slid himself from under the car he was working on. Sitting himself up Dom took in the girl infront of him, she looked to be about 5'3, 115 pounds, same age as Mea, Dom guessed. White strappy sandals showed off her baby blue painted painted toenails, her tan shapely legs were visible below her thigh length jean skirt, her white halter top stopped about mid ribs leaving most of her toned stomach visible, sky blue eyes that looked detached at the moment, her shoulder length black as night hair was pulled up into a ponytail. When Dom was done looking her over he knew she was a very beautiful women, and would look a lot better if she ever wiped the look of disgust off her face.
"What is it you want?" Dom asked again.
"Biggie is very pleased with the work you did for him. He is also sad that you didn't take him up on his offer, but he has other business to discuss with you if you would call his office it would be much appreciated." The girl stated sounding like she was repeating something she had read. Then turned to leave.
"What's his office number?" Dom called after her.
"Shit! I knew I forgot something!" she yelled turning back to him, a smile creepy into her lips, "I almost had it that time." Walking over to him she handed him a card, "Office on front, cell on back." She turned again to leave and started to her car, half way there she stopped and turned back to him, "I don't know you, or your ties with Biggie, but take my advice on this, don't get in deep with biggie do the work your doing and get out."
"What's your name?" Dom called to her as she was opening her car door.
"You'll find out soon enough Dominic." She smiled, got into her car and peeled out.
"What the hells that suppose to mean?" Dom asked confused about what had just happened.
"I don't know but we can't just sit and think about it all day. That Silvia your working on is being picked up at 2." Mea said trying to clear her thoughts.
"I can think and work at the same time." Dom defended himself.
"Since when can you do 2 things at once? Isn't it hard enough to do one without screwing it up?" Mea asked sarcastically.
Dom was about to say something about Mea's cooking but on second thought decided against it and just started laughing, and was soon joined by Mea.
"What's so funny?" Vince asked, standing in the doorway, grocery bags in each hand.
"Nothing." Mea said wiping away the tears that had come to her eyes, "Did you get it all?" taking the bags from his hand and heading to the counter where she could inspect the containments.
"Yeah its all there."
"V? What's up with all the oil?" Mea asked holding up 4 bottles of oil.
"I couldn't remember what kind you wanted so I bought every kind they had." Vince explained heading back over to start working on the Civic again.
Laughing Mea grabbed all the bags and headed to the back, "Told you I should have written you a list!" She yelled over her shoulder before disappearing threw the doorway and into the storage room, shutting the door before he could say anything back.

"How's your head?" Dom asked settling himself on the bed next to Letty.
"Hurting like hell!!! Probably would have been better off at the garage today, the old people next door moved out and whoever the hell is moving in now was making a shit load of noise all fucking day!" she yelled threw the sheets that covered her face.
"Aawwww, poor baby. Do you want some Advil?" Dom cooed.
"I took enough of that to last me a life time. How bout you just give me a massache." Letty said pulling the covers off her face and rolling onto her stomach.
"Did you say hi to the new people today?" Dom asked starting to rub Letty's shoulders.
"I yelled a lot of words at them today, but 'hi' wasn't one of them." Letty sighed already starting to feel her eyes becoming heavy. Just as she was drifting off a loud Thump could be heard from next door.
Quickly turning over and sitting up Letty glared at Dom, "See? They've been doing that shit all-" but before she could finish a loud Thump interrupted her and was closely followed by a Crash, Bang, and a long string of cuss words. Jumping out of bed Letty ran to the window, lifted it up, stuck her head out and yelled, "Hi!" then turning around smiled at Dom. Turning back around she stuck her head back out the window to finish what she was saying, "Dipshit, you wanna knock that shit off! I've got a poundin' headache and all that shit you doing aint fucking helping all that much!! So how's bout you stop so I can sleep and don't end up stranglen one of your asses!" with that said she slammed the window shut walked back to the bed and fell onto it. But before Letty could even think of sleep the doorbell rang. "I swear to god…." Letty mumbled as she climbed back off the bed, ran down the stairs to the front door. Swinging it open she glared at the girl standing behind it.
"Hey, ah….. I was wondering if you all had like some first aid shit? Cause you know all the shit were doing next door, moving in and all mi hermano dropped a box of dishes and sliced himself." The girl asked.
"Hold on." Letty ordered. "Dom, where's the first aid crap?" She yelled up the stairs.
"Kitchen. On top the fridge." He yelled back emerging from the bedroom upstairs and starting down the stairs. Looking up her saw her standing in the doorway, it was the same girl from the garage. She had on the same top but replacing her skirt was a pair of black cargo pants and instead of sandals she had on a pair of black boots.
"What are you doing here?" Dom asked.
"She's the new neighbor." Letty answered for her, handing her a white box with a big red cross on the front of it.
"Did you get it Rain?" a voice from somewhere off to the side of the house called.
"Rain?" Dom asked.
"Told you you'd find out soon enough, Dominic." She said, "Thanks." She yelled as she ran towards the voice that had called to her moment before.
"How do you know her? Letty asked skeptical.
"She came into the garage today, gave me a message from Biggie." He explained.
"She works for Biggie? Dom we can't live by someone who works for him! That shits messed up!" Letty yelled.
"What do you wanna do move?" Dom asked sarcastically. "Look its not a big deal, k? Just she works for Biggie don't mean shit."
"Used to, don't now." Came Rains voice from the door.
"What do you mean used to? You just went by the garage to represent him today." Letty asked.
"Dominic was my last job." She explained. "Thanks for letting us use this." She said holding out the first aide kit for Letty to take. "See ya around." She said and ran off as soon as Letty had her hands on the box.
"That was strange." Letty thought out loud as she pushed the door closed and went to the kitchen
-------------------------------------------
"Hey Rain, help me put my bed together!" Cory yelled as Rain walked past her doorway on her way down the hall.
"Cory, I think you can put the damn bed together, you've put a lot more complicated things together then a bed." Rain said really wanting to start on her room.
"So don't help me. But come talk to me!" Cory said pulling Rain in the room and shutting the door behind her.
"Talk bout what?"
"Our neighbors."
"Oh, them."
"Yes them. Who are they?"
"Well I only met 2, but my guess is more live there. The 2 I met were the muchacho we saw this morning and the chica who been yelling all day." Rain said.
"yeah, and?" Cory pushed.
"I didn't get her name but his is Dominic and owns a garage. I think those two are nivo y niva."
"Oh." Cory sighed sounding depressed.
"Not what you wanted to hear?"
"No me wanted some single muchachos mi amigo."
"You sound so funny speaking espanol." Laughed Rain.
"Well gotta know some to be around tu y hermano y mi amigos, chica." Cory said then joined Rain in her fit of laughter.
"What are you 2 doing?" Reese asked sticking his head in the room.
"Nothing. How's mi hermano doing?" Rain asked getting serious.
"Dillions fine, chill." Reese assured her, "Now get back to work!" he ordered.
"We aint your slaves!" Cory protested.
"Did you just talk back to me? (Makes whip sounds) Now get back to work my slaves or you will get more whippings."
"Yeah, Yeah, yeah….." Rain drawled heading for the door.
"Rain?" Cory asked as Rain reached the door the hallway.
"Yeah Core?" Rain said turning to face her.
"Are you glad we came here?"
"Im not sure yet. I guess I wont know for a while, ya know? Chance lo muchacha, no se preocupe tanto." Rain said then left the room and went down the hall to hers to start putting it together.
