Chapter 8- Good Graces
Early Monday morning
You see Julie leaning against the garage door that's clearly labelled Torrettos. She's sipping a container in her hand..presumably coffee. When finally somebody pulls up
Up drives Vince and right behind him is Letty and Dom and the lastly Leon. They all get out of there cars. Letty doesn't look to happy to see Julie standing there but she keeps her mouth shut.
" well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in" Vince said
" yes, I've come back to play good little girl and share her tools and knowledge" I said
" so your willing to play huh.well come into my office and let's us have a little chat" Dom said the motioned for everyone to open up and start the days work.
Inside Dom's office
" have a seat" he said a motions to the on closest to the desk.
" thanks but I prefer to stand" Julie said
" fine, do as you will.but you'll sit later because you'll spend the whole day standing and bending" Dom warned
" fine then I'll sit.is there something specific you wanted or is this to get me to apologise after last night.and choosing my friend over you?" I asked
" yes and no" Dom answered " before I let you start work her there are a few things that I need to know first."
" okay what do you want to know.and do I have nay right to privacy?" I asked
" I'm sorry you don't.I need to know that your not like that traitor." Dom spit out
" that traitor saved your ass when the heist when wrong.he gave up his badge for you...he stopped you from doing something crazy, let you live and get away, and he saved Vince's arm.the only thing that he couldn't save was Jesse dying...and even then he was there watching as the doctors pulled the plug on the guy he believed to be his friend. Everyday he when to see Jesse.if you don't believe me I hacked into the Hospital computer files and I could easily get them for you" I defend Brain and offered Dom I would defend my friend but not without doing my homework first.,.so last night I hacked into every federal branch within a 200 mile radius and checked to see what really happened and if I was on the right side or not.
" wow how do you know all that" Dom asked stunted
" this things.there called computer's I'm pretty handy with one. when I was in Lompoc I learned how to defend myself I also learned how to use a computer. " I told him rather boldly
" so how do you know both Val and Brian?" Dom asked
" I meet them in JuV.when I was 16" I told him. " if you don't believe me I could easily print off my rap sheet.and if you still need proof you could phone Brian or Val.they both will vouch for me. or you could call the guy that used to be my parole officer I'm sure he'd love to help.":
" so what did you go to Lompoc for and how long?" Dom asked he knew of his own stories and the hell that Lompoc was.
" vehicular manslaughter.I ran a guy over with my car 12 times.the judge didn't think he deserved it so...i got 10 years and a chance for parole at four...and so at four years I was release and I was on prohibition for a good few more months then I came here. " I told him
" wow." was all he could say
" I heard that you too were there" I said and left the subject alone
" yea I was" was all he said " so what do you do best in a garage?"
" well I design, paint, and strip the best I also have formulated a new way of making you car run like it's no Nitrous only it isn't. " I told him
" strip huh.really care to demonstrate" Dom said jokingly
" sure. let me call Letty I'm sure she'd love to help" I said and he then stopped with the joking
" fine, fine . today I want you to help Letty strip apart car that she won from you.and then I want you to stop me your plans and if you have already started to change over a car to your new system" he said
" I have my baby's done" I told him proudly " but I don't get her out of storage till the end of the month."
" alright till then you help Letty your her runner. I hear any complaints about you from here and your on notice and the fired." Dom told me
" do you have some place I could change because I like these shorts". I said this made him glance at my attire.which consisted of short shorts and a tube top.he then notice that I was toting around a back pack.
"yea down the hall. Is the bathroom" he told me and pointed down a dimly lit hall.
" thanks" I said and took off in the direction he pointed
about ten minutes later I came back wearing a old greased out tank top, and old garage uniform typed at my hips and bandanna
I walked over to where Letty was leaning up against my shitty car and giving me evil looks.
" can you actually work in that" she asked me
" yes, in the beginning it took some getting used to but now I don't mind. Do you want me to wear it up all the way?" I asked her I honestly wanted to be her friend and I think that she sensed that.
" nope it's fine.I don't mind. you have to work like that not me" she said
then I looked down at what she was wearing jeans while oil all over them and an tank top just like my will grease smears everywhere
" aren't those hot.I could stand denim at night.but during the day in a garage hell I don't think so" I told her and she laugh
" yea but like you said.you get used to it.come on now let's get own to work" Letty have ordered when she saw that both she and I were talking and not working
Lunch time
" thanks Mia.I love tuna" I told her
" yea you and Brian both" she said and then she received an evil glare form her brother and shut up about Brian.
I walked over to were Letty was sitting in the shade
" can I sit here too.or is this reserved for someone else?" I asked
" nope you can" she told me.kinda sadly too
" well I have a question for you" I told her " it's kinda personal"
" sure what's the problem" she asked looking somewhat interested
" well you know Vince right" I asked
" yea I've know Vince ever since I was 16 and started hanging out with Dom and him.Mia was always more into other girlie things like cooking and shopping." She told me
" well does he had a girl that he's interested in or some slut ho that he likes to bang" I asked her
" I know what he has a slight liking for a girl.but I don't know if he's going to do anything about it." she told me
" thanks" I said and was trying to get up.
" why.who's interested in him?" she asked " another one of your friends"
" nope.somebody else" I told her hoping that she would get that I was talking about myself...and I think she got it because she smiled and nodded.
" well if you need any help setting the two of them up.let me know" she said and winked at me
" Julie" Dom called over to me
" yes" I said as I was approaching him " what can I do for you oh mighty one?" I joked
" how are you stitches doing?" he asked me.like he cared oh no. don't let it be that he likes me.
" what stitches?" I questioned him about them I remember back to 2 days ago." Oh yea well.out of sight out of mind.I told him"
" you haven't checked them have you?" he asked me
" not really" I admitted
" okay that's it.either you let me check me or I'm bringing you to a doctor" he ordered her and knew remembered my phobia of doctors
" why don't I get someone else to loom at them.since I recall you weren't to good at the sight of my blood" I told him
" fine then" Dom said " Letty will you come here for a moment"
" yea, what is it" she asked when she can and stood in from of me
" I want to check Julie's stitches and she's scared I might pass out.so I want you to check them and I'll watch" Dom said
" you haven't checked them?" Letty questioned me
I sheepishly shook my head no " out of sight out of mind" I told her
"well like Dom said I want to check them" Letty said and led me to the bathroom and when we realise that three people were not going to fit into the tiny area Dom was forced to stand outside and wait for Letty's approval or disapproval over my stitches.
Screaming and yelps of pain could be heard though the bathroom door...and if Dom vowed to himself that if he heard one more scream that he would bang down the door. He hadn't know Letty to abuse someone when they were done but still if the opportunity arises itself you take it. Just then the door opened and out walked Letty.
" well the one across her midsection is not healed but the other one is beautiful. I was just cutting out the stitches and she could stand the pain." Letty announced to everyone
"Letty that better be the truth" Dom warned
" most of it is" I said in Letty's defense
" most of it" Dom said unsure of what I meant
" well she undid a few stitches that weren't ready to come out yet.and was what the first bout of screaming was for,.the second was Letty herself what I accidentally kicked her when she wasn't stitching fast enough." I Said
" well then everyone back to work." Dom ordered " does she need to see a doctor and I wanted to see the one that's not fully closed yet.
" she doesn't need a doctor she just can't be getting into anything rough" Letty reported to Dom.
" come on lift up your shirt so Dom can see your wound" Letty said
I did as I was told for fear she might want to play doctor again. When Dom saw the wound he wasn't too happy.
" yikes, and your sure she doesn't need a doctor?" Dom questioned Letty again
" I ain't going to no doctor" I said and stormed out.
