Chapter 7: War
Once again the house was packed with people for a post-race party. Aaliyah's hands shook as she got out of the car and headed into the house. Everyone was grooving to the deep bass beat that shook the house. Aaliyah weaved her way through the crowd and headed straight for the kitchen with the Corona. She had just popped the top off her first bottle when she felt a tap on her shoulder, she whirled around prepared to deck whoever it was, but stopped when she saw it was Jesse. His eyes filled with concern on how extra pale she looked, how jumpy she was, and how her hands were shaking. Her eyes filled with tears and he pulled her into his arms, not asking any questions just holding her. Jesse was still holding her when Dom came into the kitchen looking for some more brew.
"What's wrong?" he mouthed to Jesse, to which Jesse just shrugged and mouthed "No clue"
Aaliyah finally composed herself and turned around to face a very concerned Jesse and Dom. Jesse pulled out a barstool for her to sit on at the counter island and passed her her Corona.
"Whats wrong baby ?" Jesse finally asked when she had finished her first beer and had started her second.
"I saw him," she choked out.
"Who?" Dom and Jesse starred at her, equally confused.
"Troy."
"What the hell are you talking about ?"
"I saw Troy tonight." she started shaking again.
"Are you sure, did you take anything ?" Dom asked seriously.
"No, I'm not high. Jesus Christ. I know what I saw, it was him. I saw Troy." her face blanched at the mention of his name.
"Where?" Jesse asked completely blown away.
"At the race tonight, he was in the car next to me, the one with the tinted windows. Right before Leon tipped us off, he lowered his window and I saw him.", she told them as she drained the rest of her beer. Dom walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. The music stopped abruptly and Aaliyah could hear Dom yelling.
"Alright everybody, party's over !!! Get out now !!!" his booming voice sent everyone scurring out the door in a hurry. Dom returned to the kitchen with Letty, Brian, Mia, Leon and Vince in tow. He quickly filled everyone in on the situation and they all sat back in shock.
"Well what the fuck are we gonna do ?" Vince asked.
"We still go to Race Wars and we see what happens, no one let her out of you sight. Jesse I think you can handle that, right ?" Everyone laughed at that, even Aaliyah cracked a smile.
*************************
The rest of the week passed without incidence. They boys spent every spare moment in the garage, fine tuning the cars for the coming weekend. The girls began planning the wedding, which more or less resulted in time spent pouring over wedding magazines, laying around on a bed and giggling over their men. Aaliyah quickly learned that Dom and Letty were on the rocks, and the cloud wasn't lined with silver. She learned just how bad it was one afternoon when she walked into the garage. She could hear Letty yelling and Dom cursing back in the office, she quickly ducked into the shadows to hear what was going to happen.
"Letty I'm sick of your shit."
"My shit ?! Asking you to keep your dick in your pants is giving you shit."
"Letty you knew what I was like before we go together."
"You said you didn't need those skanks anymore. I was your trophey, Dom."
"You still are baby."
"Bullshit, Im sick of this. I catch you one more time and we are so over. Prove I'm your fucking trophey !''
"Fine I'll prove it, but I thought we were over this, even before the whole truck thing."
"Fuck you Dom !" Letty screamed at him before storming out of the garage. Aaliyah waited until Dom left before moving out of the shadows.
****************************
The team pulled into Race Wars that weekend. Stress was completely forgotten as the races got under way. Aaliyah won all three of her races the first night with little stress, Troy was the last thing on her mind. Jesse was on her mind as she weaved through all the cars making her way to her first race of the day Saturday morning. She waved to the team as she weaved out of the crowd, she didn't even see the car following behind her. She walked along the line of cars oblivious to the car until it pulled up beside her, she stopped and turned around, her blood running cold. The passenger door was flung open and an arm reached out and pulled her in.
"Jesse, help !!!!!! " She screamed before the door slammed shut. Jesse heard his name and looked up to see Aaliyah yanked into a black car, and the car racing away.
"Dom, we got trouble," Jesse said, grabbing Dom by the arm and leading him towards his car.
"What's up ?" Dom getting agitated since he was about to make some serious money off of a race.
"Its Aaliyah. I think she's in trouble, I just saw her get yanked into a Civic. I think it was Troy."
"Oh shit." Dom yelled for Brian to get his ass over to the car. He quickly explained the situation as he started up his car. The repainted Supra roared to life.
"What we gonna do?" Brian asked.
"We're gonna get her back." The Supra raced after the quickly fading Civic.
"How the fuck we gonna get her ?" Jesse asked, anger and fear mixed in his voice.
"One of us holds the wheel, another jumps to the other car, the third is backup." Dom explained the plan as they approached the Civic that held Aaliyah. Dom laughed at the irony of jumping a Civic, when they used jump from them.
"Brian, get ready man." Dom yelled. Brian jumped onto the hood of the Supra and held onto the windshield as Dom swerved over to the black Civic. Aaliyah had been starring out the back window when she saw Dom and company approach, she knew what was going to happen when she saw Brian jump on the hood. She tried to distract Troy as she pushed in the cigarette lighter just as Brian kicked in her window. Troy tried to swerve away but Aaliyah grabbed the wheel, stopping him. The Supra pulled up a few feet away from the Civic and Aaliyah grabbed the heated cigarette lighter and threw it into Troy's lap as Brian grabbed a hold of her arms and pulled her out the window. Jesse was holding the wheel as Dom reached over and pulled Aaliyah and then Brian into the Supra. Troy pushed the lighter onto the floor just as Aaliyah climbed out the window, his car swerved and he was concentrating on the Supra so much he didn't notice he had drifted into the other lane. He looked up in time to see a transport coming at him, he swerved over trying to ram the Supra, but Dom pushed the NOS injector, throwing the car forward. Troy clipped the bumper which caused him to swerve over into the shoulder. He flipped end over end, landing on the driver side, Troy noticed too late the fuel leak and lighter meet, he scrambled to climb out of the car but it was too late. The car exploded into a mix of orange and green flames as the NOS tanks blew.
Aaliyah watched from the back seat in Jesse's arms as the Civic that held her captor and thought murder victim into a fireball. Brian called the rest of the team at Race Wars, telling them to head home, and they would meet them there as Dom headed back to the fort.
********************
After a couple of weeks everybody had calmed down from the abduction and had even started racing again. Aaliyah was still pretty shook up and confused but she was adjusting. Life returned to normal.
It was pretty common for Letty to head from the diner or garage to the house to check on Mia or Dom. Letty pulled into the driveway around noon, three weeks to date of the events at Race Wars, noticing Dom's car in the driveway. She thought nothing of it as she headed inside prepared to give him a suprise for their two month anninersary since his return from Mexico. She jogged up the stairs, and headed for the room they shared down the hall. Soft moans filtered through the air. Letty flung open the bedroom door to see Dom being ridden by a thin, tall, blonde girl, more than likely a race whore.
"What the fuck !!" Letty yelled, Dom quickly pushing the girl off, to see a very pissed Letty.
"Letty its not what you think "
"Dom this is exactly what I think, once again you are fucking some skank because I aint enough for you."
"Letty come on, Im sorry, calm down. It doesn't mean anything."
"Fuck you Torretto " she screamed. " You promised. Im sick of this, we are so over." Letty whirled around and slammed the door cutting off Dom's pleas for her to return. Dom flopped back onto the bed, slamming his fist into the mattress. He had screwed up royaly this time, he knew she meant it too. They were over for sure now.
Letty stomped down the stairs, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Enough of this shit, first guy I see, Im gonna fuck. I'll see what its like to be Dom, fucking anything that walks", she thought to herself as she headed into the living room to get her keys and coat.
"Hey Letty, you ok ? You want a brew ?" Letty turned towards the kitchen. Leon stretched a beer towards her.
"Whats wrong ?"
*Target sighted, Its go time*, Letty smiled.
********************************
Authors Note: Ok so not my best chapter but Im trying to not focus soley on one person. Though I tend to hover around Aaliyah and Jesse. So what did you think ? Please review. I can't improve unless you tell me. What you thinking? Should Letty go for it or give Dom another chance ? Ive noticed that in a lot of stories people have Dom cast as a dog, so I thought Id agree and go with it. More to come. =0)
