1.1.1.1.1 Chapter 8
Truth Revealed
"I can't think of anything." Dom lied.
"How bout, how you ended up in Mexico. Or how you all met." Cory suggested, pulling herself up onto the car she had been leaning against and pulling Jesse back with her, so she could still lean on him.
"Well how we met is kinda boring, me and Dom are brother and sister so obviously we've known each other for ever. Letty lived down the street and was always hanging around, Vince and Dom became friends in like the 3rd grade. And Leon and Jesse just came to one of the parties after a race and never left." Mea explained.
"Then why you all down here?" Rain asked wondering if they'd tell the truth.
"That's a long story." Leon said. Jesse unconsciously started rubbing his chest.
"You okay?" Cory whispered into his ear.
"Fine." He said giving her a reassuring smile.
"We got time." Reese said.
"First tell us how you all met." Letty said hoping to buy time.
"Reese and me are brother and sister, our aunt is Rain and Dillion's mom. Kaylee used to go to school with me and Rain, and Cory lived down the street. Now Go!" Missy said quickly.
"We were doing some truck heists, Brian was a cop who was suppose to turn us in, but he didn't. See our last one went wrong, the driver had a double barrel shot gun, I got shot once and banged up pretty bad from being thrown around on it." Vince explained part of it.
"We got Vince off the truck and put him on a helicopter to a hospital, then me and Leon took off for Mexico with hopefully Dom, Mea and maybe Jesse behind us. See this all went down during race wars, and Jesse raced Chan, a guy that none of us liked, for slips on his dad's car. He lost the race and took off, with the car. So we didn't know where he was." Letty explained the part that she was there for that Vince hadn't explained.
"After Letty and Leon took off, Mea and me were getting ready to go find Jesse and get out when Brian pulled up. He was acting all cop like and him and me were yelling at each other, he was planning on taking me in. Jesse pulled up then, yelling about how sorry eh was and asking me to help him, Chan came gunning down the street on his bike and started shooting at us all, he hit Jesse. Mea called the ambulance, and Brian and me took off after Chan, we hit them both. They weren't dead but hurt pretty bad. Then Brian came after me again, we came up to this place were I used to drag in high school; it was a quarter mile from the stop light to the rail road tracks. We raced, when we got to the railroad there was a train coming, we barely missed getting hit by it. I was so happy that I hadn't got hit I didn't see the truck coming on the side, it hit me and I flipped. The cops were heading our way, and Brian gave me the keys to his car and let me go." Dom explained.
"After Dom and Brian left, I called the ambulance, they were there in less then 5 minutes. I went with Jesse to the hospital, and because they couldn't prove anything, Brian hadn't told them anything. When Jesse and Vince got better us 3 plus Brian headed down here to meet up with Letty, Dom, and Leon. But we learned to like it down here, so we haven't went back home yet." Mea explained the rest.
"What about you?" Jesse asked.
"Needed a change of scenery." Dillion said shooting a look at Rain for her not to say anything.
"That it?" Leon asked, knowing there was something else and pissed that they wouldn't say especial since they had just told them.
"Dillion!" Kaylee warned, knowing that they should tell them the truth.
"That's not it, not even part of it." Rain said looking Dillion straight in the eyes and defying him.
"They never agree on anything." Cory whispered into Jesse's ear as she watched her family argue.
"I bet." Jesse whispered giving her a sweet smile and a little kiss on the cheek, which no one noticed, they were all to busy watching Rain and Dillion.
"That's enough!" Missy yelled stepping between the 2. Then turning to Dillion, "Were gonna tell them, they told us now we can be honest. If you don't wanna live it again or hear it leave."
"Fine." He said, "Dustin come with me, we'll go get some parts for Betty."
"Yeah!" Dustin yelled running up to him and jumping into his arms.
"Betty?" Vince asked once Dillion and Dustin had left.
"Yeah, Betty is Dustin car that he's been working on." Missy explained.
"He's like 4, how can he have a car? And why Betty?" Vince argued.
"He's 5, and the car is just something that he wants to work on for when he gets older, and we all help. And it's named Betty cause he's in love with Betty Bop." Missy answered.
"Do you wanna keep talking about Dustin's car or do you wanna hear why were hear, cause if you don't wanna hear I gotta go find Dill Doe and apologize." Rain said getting impatient.
"We wanna hear." Letty spoke up.
"See, one reason is cause my smart cousin, Reese, got in bad with this gang. The Scorpions." Rain started.
"Was that it Letty?" Mea asked remembering how she had reacted to the tattoo.
"Part of it. I'll explain the rest later." Letty said shooting her a look that told her to shut her mouth.
" Anyways, he got in and when he realized some of the stuff they were doing, he wanted out. He told them and they kicked the shit out of him, he was in the hospital in IC for about 6 months. So we wanted to get away from them cause they wanted to kill him not just hurt him. Another reason is cause Carlos, Dustin's dad, was in a gang. And the gang killed him, now they want to kill anything that belongs to him, which mean Dustin. They wouldn't kill me because I don't belong to him, I don't got his name." Missy explained.
"Then there was the fact that Dillion got off parole and we wanted to start all over so we figure Mexico was a real god place to do it." Kaylee finished.
"Wow…" Jesse said in astonishment.
"Dillion didn't have a long parole for being in jail 5 years." Vince pointed out.
"What?!?" Rain screamed.
"Ooops." He said.
"You did checks on us?" She screamed looking at them all.
"Twisted." Cory whispered to Jesse as she climbed off the car form behind him and walked out shooting mean glances at everyone. Kaylee and Rain stomped out right behind her.
"I wasn't supposed to tell uh?" Vince asked sheepishly.
"Well duh!" Mea said.
"They'll get over it. It's just, you don't mention Dillion's jail time around Rain and Kaylee, it was a hard time for all of us. But especially for them." Reese explained.
"I know what it's like." Mea said.
"Well 5 years is worse then 2." Missy said.
"Well yeah, wait. How do you know?" Letty asked.
"We did checks to." Reese answered for her.
"If you did checks to then why did they get so mad?" Jesse asked.
"Well with Rain and Kaylee it was just the jail remark, but Cory, Well Cory has trouble being around people who know about her past. She hates talking about it, most the time she pretends she doesn't have one." Missy explained.
"Anyways, tell me what you can do with the cars and then me and Reese will leave you all alone." She continued.
"We can fix them, im assuming you and Rain wanna help with that though." Dom answered,
"Course."
"Okay, well since we got all your moving in finished this morning then tomorrow you 2 can come over at about 10 and we can get started on them."
"Okay." Missy said then walked out the door with Reese right behind.
