Ch.6 Morning came, it was 6:00. Mia looked at the clock; it was way too early for anyone else to be up. She drug herself from the bed and took a quick shower. She threw on some short shorts and a black belly tank top, and tossed her hair up in a messy bun then headed downstairs. Brian was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee.

"I didn't expect to see anyone up so early."

"Just thought I'd get an early start today."

He sounded tired. Mia poured herself a cup of coffee and invited Brian out to the café counter in the garage.

"So, what do you gotta do today?"

"Dom wants me to run some errands. Ya know, like, Hector needs his car parts soon and if I don't check them out he's gonna freak. Stuff like that."

"Sound's interesting. You wouldn't mind if I tagged along, would you?"

"No, no problem."

"Ok, well, let me grab my shoes."

Brian and Mia hopped in the shop truck and were off.

8:30 came rollin around and one by one, everybody woke up. Dom as usual was the last one up. He trudged down the steps and into the kitchen. Everybody sat around the kitchen table and greeted him happily. Letty's eyes lit up,

"Hey, sweetie! Want some coffee?"

He smiled weakly and accepted. Mornings were never the best time of day for Dom. Vince and Leon got up from the table and walked to the garage door saying they were going to open the garage and café.
