Chapter 13

Is it because of the title that no one reads it? Is it because there is no Letty in the story? Is it my summary? What makes my story so bad? Come on people you can tell me.

Ok well forget all the non-reviewers. This is my Christmas present to all of my readers. Thanks for reading. I hope you like it.

Reki looked down at her watch and frowned. The meeting with Satiana was supposed to have happened over an hour ago. It didn't bode well for her cousin. In the family business if someone was late, they paid for it with their lives. She hoped her cousin was either dieing in a gutter or in jail. Those were the only things that would save her from the family's wrath.

            "I hope that you survive this little one…with all of your fingers, thumbs, and toes."

            Satiana stood up slowly. Her eyes never left Edwin or his cousin. The women stood and went inside. One of them, Satiana noticed, was Monica. The woman smiled at her and flicked her off. Ian turned to her.

            "Get inside." The smile on her face disappeared and she ran as fast as she could in her stiletto heels inside. He turned back to Satiana who had backed away from them.

            "Miss Lee, I'm not going to hurt you I just want to make a deal." Edwin gaped at him.

            "What kind of a deal you sick bastard? You had sex with my drugged up mother and you think that I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself in my family? Hell No! You stay away from me and I'll stay away from you." He stepped forward and Satiana stepped back. Ian smiled as she found herself backed against the house.

            "Unfortunately it doesn't work that way Miss Lee. You see I want a part of the family business and my daughter is the ticket into all of that." He caressed her face and Satiana flinched. He dug his nails into her flesh and laughed when she screamed. He pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and switched it off before throwing it in his pool. He forced a pill down her throat and smiled when he knew she had swallowed it. "I do believe my men and I will like you on 'Ecstasy'.

            Satiana's eyes caught and held Edwin pleading for help. He turned away from her to the sun at its zenith. It would be the only witness to what they were about to do to her.

            Jessie's hands flew across the laptop while his eyes kept a close watch on the timer and the F.B.I. Their tracking system thought he was somewhere is Iceland and that was fine with him. Leon was true to his word he kept the others busy but Jessie didn't find anything on Brian. He was going to have to go to technologies building on George Air Force Base where Satiana had stolen the equipment needed for everyone's cars to hack into what he wanted properly. There was a bank robbery that made Brian less than clean but it was all to perfect. If someone had a bank robbery behind their belt they had to have started small and there was no evidence of that. It pissed Jessie off to no end that he couldn't find out what was up with the guy.

            Suddenly his computer started blinking red and making a whirring sound. Jessie jumped back and everyone else ran forward. Jessie hit escape and sighed in relief as the files he was looking for about Brian disappeared. He sat back over his laptop and grinned. It wasn't hopeless after all.

            "What's the noise all about?" Dom asked as he looked down at Jessie. Jessie looked up and in that moment, the two came to an understanding. They both loved the Lee family and would do anything possible to keep them alive.

            "The pendant has been activated."

            "What pendant Jessie?" Mia asked. Her tears had dried and she was ready to help the team. Jessie didn't even turn to her. He knew his anger still burned in his eyes. She had forsaken his family and most of all his sister not giving her the time of day to explain what was going on. They had sent her away and now she was out there alone.

            "Satiana's flame pendant. It's a tracker." He kept typing narrowing down the search of where the pendant was. He went back into the F.B.I and straight to their satellites.

            "Who cares about Satiana? She can take care of herself. We need to find the children."

            "Mia, if you're going to accept the children you have to except their family as well. All of their family." Jessie said as he stopped typing and glared at her.

            "Who cares about her she's just an ex-con." She bit her lip when she said it and looked at her brother. His head was down and when she tried to touch him, Dom backed away from her. Tears filled her eyes as she whispered his name. Dom walked off to his car and Vince followed him. Leon stepped away from Brian and Mia.

 Jessie heard someone gasp as he started typing again and looked up to see that Brian's eyes burned into his. He ignored him for the moment.

            The satellites zeroed in on the pendant and showed them exactly who had it. On the ground in the middle of the road, there were two small heat signatures. They're alive. Jessie sighed in relief. The satellites moved and we lost the picture but Jessie knew where they were.

            "I'll go get them." Mia announced and Jessie laughed, loud. They all turned to him.

            "You won't go near my family. I'd rather Johnny Tran pick them up. At least we know he won't two time us and that he's loyal to people who try to help him. Even with him being one of the Triads I'd rather give them to him."

            "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Brian said. Leon turned to him and stepped between Jessie and him.

            "It means that Satiana was right not to trust you. There has always been something off about you white boy and when I find out you had better watch your back. She told us to check up on you for Mia's sake now I don't even know why she wanted to do you a favor. If you weren't Dom's little sister Mia…"

            "But she is so don't finish that sentence Leon." Dom walked up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. He called Vince and he walked up behind him.

            "Vince will get the children. I assume that Jessie you have a plan." When he nodded Dom went on. "Good, take Mia with you and I'll take Leon and Brian here with me to go speak to Johnny Tran. Keep your cells on at all times and meet up at the airport at twelve. It's the last flight out of here to China and if you miss it pack your shit and leave cause I don't want to see you when you get back.

            Eric hurt all over and he knew if he passed out, he wouldn't survive. So, he told Abre stories about when he was younger and what their sister used to do. He told her about the first time Satiana met Dom and how he had laughed and taunted her with Jessie. He told her about when Jessie and Satiana had gone out and how they found out on their fist date that they were just brother and sister and could never be more.

            He talked and talked and talked some more until his voice had worn out and his body shook in a cold sweat. Abre then started to tell him about her Barbie dolls. He held on to the stories that she made up with them. He let her tell him about her Brittany Spears Barbie doll and her Ben Afleck 'Voyage of the Mimi' Doll. His eyes started to close and he clinched the pendant in his hand holding on to the pain to keep him awake.

            He turned his head as he heard a car pull up. He knew the sound of that car and tears rolled down his face as he looked up and saw Vince.

            "Damn man what the hell did they do to you?" Vince asked as he bent down to look at him. Abre shied away from him and Vince raised an eyebrow. Eric could only nod and watch as fury replaced sorrow in the man's eyes. Eric tried to move but it was impossible.

            "Are they dead?" Vince asked as he noticed the trail of blood that went away from where he had come from. Eric nodded and let himself be picked up by Vince. Abre followed them. When Vince stepped back after putting Eric in the back seat of his car, he noticed Abre run away from him. He held the door open and watched as she tentatively stepped forward then ran and jumped in the car with her brother. Vince called Dom and told him that he had picked the children up. Dom reminded him of the flight and Vince told him they had to go to a doctor first.

            "Don't go to a hospital you don't have time and they ask to many questions." Eric said. Vince relayed this to Dom and Dom told him where to go. Vince ran around to the driver door and drove off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

            When Satiana awoke, she was naked and spread eagle on a bed. Her whole body hurt and felt like it had been violated. She saw her ripped clothes on the floor. She went to pick up her clothes and moaned as the sheets moved across her. She felt wetness between her legs and moaned again.

            "Damn it. That stupid fucker gave me 'X'." She tried ignoring the feeling but it wouldn't go away. The door opened and Satiana saw a naked man standing at her door. He smiled at her and she felt desire rise up even as she noticed he was ugly as hell. She tired to move away but the movement made her moan in pleasure. The man closed the door behind him and walked forward.

            "Your mine for the next hour." He jumped on her and Satiana's eyes went hazy in pleasure for a moment before she wrapped her hands around his neck and twisted with all her might. She heard an audible snap and sighed in relief. She looked over to her right and the clock was as red as the sheets.

10:00 pm

          Satiana groaned and pushed the man off her. She ignored the heat between her legs as best as she could and opened the closet door. In it, she found some hoeish clothes. There were reds clothes, black clothes, and all different shorts of colors. Through her hazy mind she knew that she had to get to her grandfathers apartment and soon before the depression set in. She knew what would happen with the depression and it wasn't something she wanted to face alone. She pulled a black cat suit out of the closet and put it on. Over it she put on a trench coat. She didn't even look at the door knowing there was no way out of the house from that way so she went to the window. When she passed the mirror, she stopped in shock. Her face had cuts and burses on it, her neck had elephant sized hickeys, and one of her eyes was starting to swell. She turned her face and saw the four scratches that Ian had left on her face and then she turned away from the mirror.

            "I can't face anyone like this." She opened the window and looked down. She was on the second floor. Without thinking, she stepped out and let gravity do what it would. Her body crumpled on the ground and Satiana felt something snap in her left hand. Pain laced through her foggy mind and turned into pleasure. She looked around and found that outside the house was empty. Her car was still parked where she had left it and she walked over to it. She placed her hand on the door handle and the finger scanner identified her and opened the door. She slid in and closed the door. Turning on the ignition, Satiana drove off to her grandfather's apartment building.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

            The house was quiet. Red was splattered all over white as four men stood over sixteen bodies. Most of them were women. Monica's eyes looked up accusingly and in terror at her killer. Edwin wiped off his gun and looked over his handy work. His cousin was laid out on the couch dead. "You should have listened to me when I said you should kill the bitch. Now I'm going to have to do it myself." He flipped his phone open and called his boss.

            "Did you kill her?"

            Edwin closed his eyes and hopped for patients. "No I'm going up to do that now." The voice laughed.

            "It's two late for that now you dumb ass. She's here at her grandfathers. Get your shit packed and get ready to go to China. Pick up Johnny Tran on the way. I hear he had a run in with Dom. I took the liberty of booking two seats for you on the concord out of here at 12:00. We'll take care of this problem the way it should have been handled."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

            Vince walked into the room where Abre and Eric were and his frown deepened. Abre was all right physically but mentally she was fucked up. Eric was neither physically or mentally all right. He kept saying that everything was his fault and Vince couldn't see it. His wound had to be cauterized and then it was wrapped tightly so that it wouldn't seep on the way to China. Vince heard cars pull up outside the house and went to check to see who it was.

            Dom stepped out of his car and Leon stepped out of his car Brian tailing him. Dom and Vince greeted each other in their handshake. "How are they?" Dom got straight to business and Vince shook his head. Pulling Dom over to the side, he sighed.

            "Eric was fucking knifed man. He's totally fucked up. I've never seen him this way. It's fucking unnerving. He keeps saying that this is all his fault and that his sister is going to die because of him." Vince didn't even wait for this to sink in before he went on to Abre. "I don't even want to be on the same continent as Satiana when she finds out what happened to her sister. Tanuki rapped her. Eric said that he heard her screams."

            "What! That bastard rapped her! Where the hell is he?!?" Vince put his hand on Dom's shoulder.

            "Eric killed him. That's another reason I think that he's fucked up." Vince didn't want to say that he thought it would be better if the children stayed in the states. He knew that they needed to see their sister and she wasn't anywhere that they could find her. He just prayed that she was still alive.

            "Get them ready we have to go now. I haven't received word about Satiana but I did get a call back from the guy at the airport. He said some old man with the last name Lee is getting his jet ready to go back to China. I'm sure Satiana would want to meet up with her grandfather. I told him to book us a jet so we could follow them. The next jet that comes in will be here at 1:00 am so we'll be that far behind her. At least we'll know where she is."

            HOHOHO! Merry Christmas my devoted Readers. I hope you liked this chapter. It took me long enough to think about it. I hope your Christmas and New Years bring you great pleasure and memories. With three flights going out of L.A. to China what will happen? Will West conquer East or will being on different turf land Dom and his crew in a pit of hungry snakes?
