11. Leaving

Letty knew she had no option but to leave, she started putting some of her things into a bag while Dom was staring at her. "What are you doing?" He asked sharply.

"I don't desreve you Dom, V's right I have to leave, there is nothing else I can do."

"I'm not finished with you yet!" Dom screamed and pushed her hard onto the bed. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me? Huh?"

"We wanted to protect you Dom." Letty explained.

"Protect me by keeping the fact from me, that the two people I trust the most are making a fool of me behind my back?!"

"It's not like that!"

"Letty, I don't ever wanna lay eyes on you again or hear your name mentioned again. Just go now. Before I do something really stupid. GO!"

Letty knew there was nothing more to say. She grabbed her bag and walked out, looking back at Dom, he turned away, it looked as if he was crying. Letty was to tired, to devastated to cry. She was completely empty inside. She walked out and got in her 240 and drowe away. There was no coming back now, she drowe all night, she headed for the border. One of her cousins lived in Mexico, she might as well stay with him for a while.

When Mia came home, she found Dom in the living room, he had smashed some of the chairs, one mirror and all the pictures of the team. His hands were bleeding and he had a crystal stare in his eyes.

"What happened? Where's Letty and Vince?" She asked carefully.

"They are probably out fuckin' each other." Dom said in a dull voice.

"Why are you talking like that?" Mia was really worried about Dom's strange, totally out of character behaviour.

Dom was usually controlled and he never lost it like this. He finally broke down and told Mia the whole ugly story. Mia was in shock, why had they done that to Dom and to the whole team?! Why had Letty distroyed the future of the entire team just to get back at Dom? How could Vince betray them all like that? Things were never going to be the same again. Mia helped Dom upstairs, but he wouldn't enter his and Letty's room. He went to bed in the guest room, he layed there staring out the window until he finally fell asleep.

When Leon came back home Mia told him what had happened.

"Holy shit! That's what's been bugging Vince since the races, that's what Letty has been hiding. This explains everything... but why? Why did they have to go that far?" Leon realized that this was probably the end of the team. Dom and Letty had had some pretty huge fights over the years but they had always worked things out. There was no denying that the two of them were made for each other in a wierd twisted kind of way. This one though might be hard or impossible to solve peacefully. Dom was stubborn as hell and not nearly as forgiving as Letty always was. Now Letty was gone, so was Vince. And if Vince ever showed up at the house again, Dom would no doubt kill him with his bare hands. What was they supposed to do now, when life as they knew it seemed to have come to an end.
