The following day Dom managed to talk Vince out of throwing out Rebecca. "Fine but I don't want see that bitch around me" he told Dom. "I'm gonna go for a drive." "Take my car brother" Dom said while handing Vince his car keys. After Vince left, Dom stared out his kitchen window. He keep on replaying what happened the day before. It was true, what Rebecca said. All of them skirted around the subject. They would never dare bring up Ally or Vincent in front of Vince. He felt shame crawl up inside of him. He'd help Vince push them away. Dom didn't know how he was going to help his friend. Another thing was bothering him. Brian and Vince were different. When the lot of them went to lunch, Brian and Vince didn't say much to one another. They didn't have to, the two men were speaking without words. Brian would looked over at Vince, then Vince would nod his head as if he was agreeing to whatever Brian was saying in his head. This was strange, he and Vince use to be like that. Dom shook his head, Am I jealous of Brian? No he couldn't be. Something was different between him and Vince. He felt like Vince was hiding something from him. That night, Dom and Letty invited everyone to the races. Leon was more than happy to join them, as long as Megan went. Letty turned her attention on Megan and pretty much told her she had to go. It wasn't that Megan didn't want to go, she just felt weird. They were doing things that they use to do when Ally and Vincent were alive. She found it hard to enjoy herself, and didn't want to bring the happy mood of everyone down. Leon walked over and winked at her. "Come on Megan you'll have fun!" Megan had to laugh at him. That smile, the smile that brightened up the entire room. She missed that smile. "Sure." she finally told him. ~~~~~ Rebecca stayed in her bedroom the entire day. She only got up to take a bath in the morning then at lunch to eat. Again she held the picture of Ally and Vincent in her hands. Staring down at them like she was watching for them to speak to her. Vince was making her think about the past. A past she wanted to forget about. The pain he felt was like a disease, she was starting to catch it. The phone rang causing Rebecca to let the picture go. "Hello." "Hey girl how are you?" A smile came over Rebecca's face while hearing her cousin's voice. "We are going out tonight why don't you come?" "I don't think so Letty, no one will want me around." "Fuck Vince, I want you to come and you can take pictures. Please just for me, you won't see him. He'll be too busy watching the race cars." Rebecca rolled her eyes then finally said yes. After chit chatting with Letty for another ten minutes, Rebecca hung the phone up and got out of bed. She walked over to her dresser and put the picture back on her mirror. "Wish me luck angels" ~~~~~ The races The king of streets pulled up and everyone's eyes were on him. Dom slowly got out of his car then walked around to the passenger side and helped Letty out. The rest of team stood behind him, it was like the old days. People ran up to them, saying hello and asking where everyone had been. A couple of girls walked up and put there arms around Dom. Letty walked over and said. "Nice night ladies" Dom shook his head then stepped away from the girls. "Ladies you picked the wrong guy." "How about you two girls go off and find another boy to play with" Letty told them. "And who are you?" one of the girls ask. Before Letty could answer, Dom walked around the girls and wrapped his arm Letty's shoulder's. "She's my wife and about to be the mother of my child." Letty laughed when the two girls turned and didn't walk, ran away. "Those girls never learn do they baby?" Dom asked while kissing Letty on the lips. "Better be glad I'm about to pop cause if not.." she said before kissing him again. Dom smiled then nuzzled his face in his wife's neck. Leon and Megan found themselves standing next to one another. She looked around while trying to figure out what to say. Leon was also wondering what to say. "So" Leon said while turning to face Megan. "How have you been?" "Good and how have you been?" she then asked. "Good, can't believe Letty is so pregnant." Megan smiled then looked over at Letty, "She looks great doesn't she?" "She sure does" Leon said while never taking his eyes off Megan. Rebecca took a quick picture of Leon and Megan. She smiled to herself, They need to stop playing around! After taking a couple more shots of Leon and Megan, Rebecca turned her attention on the cars. Each one was completely different from the others. It was amazing, the cars were a work of art. She focused in on one car in particular. It was candy apple red with black letters on the sides. The letter spelled out something in Chinese. ~~~~~ Vince could have killed Letty, he couldn't believe she'd ask HER to come. He blew his negative feelings off as he made his way over to Brian and Mia. He smiled to himself while watching Mia snuggle against Brian. For so long he hated Brian but he always knew he was the best thing for Mia. Brian loved her and would do anything to protect. He'd done so much for them after the truck deal. After Ally and Vincent's deaths, Brian did all he could to find out who had killed them. He spent the last four years following up any lead from the case. He knew Brian felt like he was to blame for the whole deal. In Brian's mind, it was all because of his undercover work and getting close to Dom. Brian knew the Tran's had to be involved with the hit but could never prove it. "Hey V" Mia said. "This is like old times" he said while smiling. "I'm going to get something to drink, you two want something?" Mia asked somehow knowing that Brian and Vince needed time to talk alone. Brian shook his head while Vince said no thank you. Mia smiled then walked off. "We found out that Lance Tran is back in Los Angeles" Brian said while leaning against his car. "I saw a couple of his friends out here. When did he get back in town?" "Last week, no one knows where he's been. We have a person inside with them now. She uh..found out that he may have been involved with the hit." Vince felt his anger boiling up inside. He knew he had to control himself, any sign of hostility would through the case that Brian was working on out the window. "That fucking bastard. All that time passed. Why would he wait that long?" Vince then asked. Brian shook his head before saying, "I don't know but we need the girl, the witness. She couldn't of disappeared." Brian then took a step closer to Vince. He rested a hand on Vince's shoulder then said, "I won't stop until I find out who did this. I know that Tran was involved and I not going to give up until I prove it!" "I know Brother" Vince said before smirking at Brian. Dom watched the exchange between Vince and Brian. What the hell is going on between those two?? His mind was filled with reasons. He couldn't understand this new bond that the two men had. He felt like both of them weren't telling him something. ~~~~~ A man's face came into focused which caused Rebecca to drop her camera. It fall to the ground because she was wearing it around her neck. She froze for a moment starring at the man who now leaned against the red car. His face was burned into her memory. The sound of his voice now replaying in her head. Without a word she slowly began walking closer to him. Letty turned to say something to Rebecca but found that her cousin wasn't there. She saw Rebecca walking towards a red car. Her eyes widen when she saw who was leaning against the car. "Dom" she yelled. "Yeah" he answered while walking over to her. "What's the matter?" "Lance Tran" Letty told him while pointing over at him. "What the?" Dom said while looking in the direction where Letty was pointing. Without thinking, Dom yelled for Leon, Vince and Brian. He began walking over to Lance. ~~~~~ Rebecca stood in front of Lance Tran for a few moments before he realized she was there. He smiled at her then asked, "You need something?" She smiled back at him before taking hold of her camera. Lance laughed then asked, "you want a picture of the car?" Again Rebecca smiled at him. "Go on" he told her while standing up and taking a step to the side. "She the best car out here, better than all the rest." As lance turned to look at his car, Rebecca turned towards him. She waited until he turned his head back and hit him with the camera. He fell against the car and cried out in pain. Rebecca pulled the camera off her neck and swung at him again. He moved to quick and the camera shattered against the car's hood. Before Lance could retaliated. Dom was in between him and Rebecca. "How's it been Lance?" "Get that crazy bitch away from me Toretto, fuck look what she did to my car!" Lance yelled at Dom. Rebecca went to take a step forward but was stopped by Vince. His arm encircled her forearm. "Don't" he said in a low gently voice. She never looked up at him, she just stood there staring at Lance with a zombie like look on her face. TBC
