Chapter 4: Better things to come
A.N. Letty and Leon are not in Mexico. They are a few hundred miles away in a out in the middle of nowhere town. Thank you all for the reviews and sorry it took so long to post this chap.
As Leon and Letty pulled up to the hospital, they saw an ambulance crew pulling out a guy who had been shot in the chest. They just looked at each other and thought what would have happened if Vince would have been shot a few inches up. After dwelling on the thought for a few minutes, they got out of the car and walked into the hospital.
"I need to see a doctor, right now." Letty told the receptionist in a stern voice.
"Ok, you need to fill out this paperwork for me........"
"I'll fill it out while I am seeing the doc. " Letty shot back at her before she could finish her sentence, then grabbed the clip board.
The nurse got up and went into the office behind her. When she emerged from the office she had a doctor following her. " The doctor will see you know." The nurse said in disgust.
"Thank you... I appreciate it. " Letty said in a innocent voice.

After Dom had jumped into his car and Mia and Brian were in the Supra Dom stuck his head out the window. " I think we should go by and pay Jes and Vince a visit. I wanna tell them what's going on."
"Sounds good." Brian shouted over the engines.
When they arrived at the hospital they went to the desk and asked the receptionist what room Jesse was in. She scanned the computer for a few minutes, she told them that he was in room 269. They headed to the elevator and up to the second floor. Already knowing what room Vince was in.
Jesse was glad to see them. He told them that the nurse he had to tend to him was hot as hell and that she was going to give him a sponge bath later on that night.
Dom smiled and chuckled a little along with the others. "Good luck Jes. We just wanted to stop by and tell you what was going on. We have been talking about a few things that we need to go over with you later on. But for now we got a race to go and win for you."
"Sounds good. Thanks for stopping by. Tell Vince I said hi when you go and talk to him." Jes said as they were walking out the door. Brian stuck his head back in the door . "Will do Jes. Take care of yourself in here."
"Yea right Bri. I got the nurse to do that." he shouted as Brian walked out. hearing him chuckle in the hallway made him laugh .
When they arrived in Vince's room they weren't shocked to see him knocked out from the drugs. He had managed to talk the doctor into giving him pain killers for what he said was unbearable pain. They all know that he could take it he just wanted them to give him some drugs.
Not wanting to wake him up Mia pulled a pen out of her purse and wrote a a note on a napkin and set it next to his bed telling him that they would come by tomorrow and see him. And that they had a few things that they needed to talk about.

"I have some good news and some bad news for you Ms. Letty." The Doc came in the door with the test results. "The good news is that you are going to heal up quite nicely in a matter of a few weeks. The bad news is that you have a mold concussion. You must take it easy for the next few weeks. Don't do anything that will cause you to have a headache or take a blow to the head of any sort. If you do you will end up having a migraine from hell that wont go away as easy as you may think."
"Doesn't sound so bad doc. Am I able to drink?" Letty asked in hope.
"Yes you can drink Letty. Just as long as you don't over do it. Like I said before headaches will hurt like hell. And hangovers will cause the worst headaches". He stated as he handed her a prescription and some other papers. "You will need to give these to the receptionist up from t to check out."
Letty took the papers and grabbed Leon. On the way out the stopped at the receptionist and check out. "Ok , you will have to go to the first floor to get your prescription filled." The recep. stated as she handed them the bill.
Leon took some money out of his wallet and paid her. "Lets get out of here." Leon said pulling Letty out of the room. After they got the prescription filled and paid for they went out and jumped in the car and headed back to the hotel.

After arriving in the alley and parking their cars, Dom began to scope out the competition. He saw a few people who were up for it but they were people that he had already toasted in the past. Just as he had found Edwin to find out who had announced they wanted to race, Hector came up and join the conversation.
"So who all is going to challenge my team tonight?" He asked jokingly.
I believe Brian here is gonna be spinnin' some tires here tonight. Dom said pointing over at Brian who had Mia in his arms. "Those his new wheels?" Hector asked questionably.
"After Tran went awall on his car he had to get a new one. Its a good choice too. Wouldn't you say Hector." Dom asked as he ran his hand up the hood of the Supra.
"Yea I would. Very nice choice Brian. You gonna show me what you got under the hood this time or do I gotta find out the hard way?" They all chuckled a little bit.
Brian just gave Hector a look that told him he would have to find out the hard way. "I'll tell you one thing. It's got a 2jz engine in it." Dom told him as he patted the hood.
"Nice, so its on for tonight. All we have to do now is find another racer." Hector started to look around as the asian guy from the last race (the one in the white car. Who was playing ps2 they never gave him a name so I did). " I ran out of cash the last time I got toasted by Dom, but I am going to take my chances against the snowman and bet my pink slip." Tuo (pronounced two) said, hoping for approval.
Brian looked up at Dom, wondering what he was going to say to the offer. Dom went to look over his car and said that he was in. Trying not to show that he didn't have what it took to beat Brian. Especially if he drove like he did when he raced Dom on his old drag strip.
Tuo nodded and jumped in his car waiting for them all to start pouring out of the alley.
"All right we got ourselves a race." Dom shouted outloud. "Edwin you hold the money this time." As they all handed him their money and pink slips he asked, "Why me? "
"Cause you proved you are to slow to take off with it already fool". Hector said as the whole group busted out laughing to what Hector had said. Edwin punching him in the arm only made them laugh harder.
As Brian and Mia were driving, they talked about what had happened. They argue a little bit, and by the time they got to the strip they would be racing on that night, they had resolved all the conflicts they had wanted to discuss
They pulled up to the line and Mia jumped out, but not before getting a kiss from Brian, then jumped into Dom's car. Then Dom took off and drove down to where they would be gathering after the race.
"I'm gonna win." Brian told himself. Remembering what had happened the last time he said that he told himself to win this for Jesse and Vince. Looking down the line at the other racers, he flipped a few switches then prepped his NOS . Then focusing back on Edwin for the ready signal.
Once Edwin got the go ahead from Phil, someone else in his crew, he raised his hands to get their attention. They all started to build up their rpms' and put their cars into first. As Edwin dropped his hands they all took off. Hector had stayed up with Brian till he shifted into 3rd. Hector just looked as he watched Brian shoot past him, watching his 2g's going down the drain. And laughing to himself knowing that Tuo was going to loose his car.
Brian checked his rearview mirror and saw both Hector and Tuo going at it to see who was better out of the two since he was long gone. He laughed to himself as he crossed the finish line.
After the race they had their usual gathering and speeches. Dom talked a little, then Brian said a few words. Hector gave a little speech on how Brian had now gone from being the new guy who lost his car to great racer who is now winning cars.
They all started laughing as Tuo came up and handed Brian the keys to his new car. "Thanks for the race man, you really smoked my ass."
"Good race man." Brian said shaking his hand and taking the keys from him.
"PARTY AT MY HOUSE." Dom shouted out. Cheers rang out and they all began to leave for his house.
On the way back to the house Brian got pulled over for speeding. The cop asked him for his license and registration, then told him why he had pulled him over. He had been going 43 in a 30. As the cop went back to his car to write the ticket and run the plates Mia asked him why he was going that fast. Brian just gave her a blank look then told her he didn't realize it.
"Brian O'Conner, sign here please. And there is a request that you come into the station and talk to Sgt. Tanner tomorrow at 2 P.M." The cop stated sternly.
"Here you go officer." Brian said as he handed him they ticket back keeping his copy.
What do you think Dom needs to talk to Jes about? What's gonna happen with Sgt. Tanner? Thanks for reading. Please read and review.
