Chapter 11
Liz held it together until they reached the safety of her townhouse and then she broke down. Huge sobs wracked her body as Dom held her in his arms. He hated the fact that she'd been caught in the middle of it all but he wasn't going to stop seeing her just because Letty threatened him.
"Dom, we can't keep seeing each other," she cried against his chest. "I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to you because of me. I kept hoping that she was lying the night she came over about what could happen, but now I know she wasn't," she cried.
Dom hated Letty for what she was doing. If she couldn't have him then she was determined that nobody would.
Stroking Liz's back, he softly talked to her. "Nothing's going to happen to me. And I'm not going to quit seeing you just because Letty threatened me. So you can just get that thought out of your head."
He held her for a little while longer until there were no more tears to shed. When he felt her relax a little, he knew that she was going to be ok.
"Why don't you go up and take a shower, relax a little," Dom suggested. "I need to call the guys or they'll be over here beating the door down."
Liz pulled from his embrace and looked into his eyes. "I'm glad your here Dom, more than you'll ever know," she said before gently kissing him.
Dom watched her walk up the stairs thinking the same thing.
He picked up the phone and called the guys.
"So what happened?" Vince asked.
Dom explained everything that had happened and to say that Vince was furious was an understatement. He wanted to go out right then and take Tran out of the picture, but Dom calmed him down long enough to make him see that they couldn't do it their way. All three of them would get busted and they'd all serve time. They didn't have daddy's bucks behind them to bail their asses out like Tran did. They were on their own and had to take care of things differently. But they would get taken care of.
"What I don't understand is why in the hell they showed up at the restaurant," Vince commented.
"The only thing I can think of is for an alibi," Dom answered. "They were seen at the restaurant which meant that nobody could say that they were involved."
"I guess it makes sense. Show up in a public place while your thugs are doing your dirty work. How's Liz taking it all? She ok?"
Dom listened to the shower running upstairs and smiled. "She's doing ok. A little shaken up but she'll be fine. Listen, I need to go so I'll see you guys in the morning."
"Later," Vince replied and then hung up the phone to relay everything to Leon and Mia.
Dom made his way up the stairs and joined Liz in the shower, pulling her to him and holding her. They were safe.
"I'm sorry for all of this Dom. It's my fault that this happened," Liz quietly said.
He shook his head. "No, I'm the one who's sorry. I'm the one she's after, not you. I'm sorry that you've been caught in the middle of it all. For once in my life, I'm finally happy and then she comes along and tries to fuck things up. We'll get through this. Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen to you or me. I promise you that," he said holding her even tighter.
Days went by and life seemed to return to normal, although everyone was on their guard, watching for anything that seemed out of the ordinary. When they were on the road, they were constantly checking their mirrors for someone following them.
Friday night as they lay in bed, Liz turned to Dom. "Do you think they'll try something tomorrow night at the races?"
"No, I have a feeling all hell's gonna break loose next weekend at Race Wars. But I can't figure out what in the hell they're up to. When Letty was here and you two were talking, you said that nobody could touch me and then she said we'll see who's on top after Race Wars. What in the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know. Maybe Tran's bringing someone else in to drive. He can't take you down on the strip so maybe he's got someone who he thinks can beat you. And I wouldn't put it past them to mess with your car either. For some reason, Tran needs to be on top and from what I've seen, he'll stop at nothing to get it."
"Yeah, but why?" Dom asked.
Liz shook her head. "I don't know. All I know is that I'll be glad when it's all over and done with. I'm tired of living my life constantly looking over my shoulder to see if someone's there."
Dom pushed Liz down onto her stomach and laid his body over hers, his hardness pressed between her cheeks. "What about like this?" he whispered into her ear.
She turned her head to the side and smiled. "This I like," she said, wiggling her ass back and forth. Dom lifted himself up on his knees and pulling Liz back with him, slid his cock into her wetness. It never ceased to amaze him that no matter where they were or what they were doing that she was always ready for him. Sometimes they made love slow and easy and sometimes it was wild and crazy. This was going to be one of those wild and crazy times.
Saturday night, they met the gang at the strip and Dom set up the races. He was racing three other people tonight and since this was the last race before Race Wars, he was more than ready.
They stayed together, constantly scanning the area for any signs of trouble. When it was Dom's turn to race, he left Liz with Vince and Leon and drove over to the starting point. Hector had taken up his usual place and collected the money from the drivers, holding it until the race was done.
Dom looked over and saw one of Tran's thugs get into the car beside him. His heart sped up a bit as the adrenaline pumped through his body.
What in the hell were they up to? He thought to himself.
Flipping open his 2-way radio, he called Vince.
"The guy next to me is one of Tran's."
"Fuck," Vince said into the radio.
"What's wrong Vince?" Liz asked.
"The guy next to him is one of Tran's thugs," he answered Liz and then spoke back into the radio. "I'll keep an eye on him. If anything looks like it's about to go down, I'll send the girls to the shop and we'll take care of it."
"I'm going to keep going after the race and see if the guy follows. If he does, I'll let you know so you can get the girls out of there. If not, then I'll come back around."
"Will do," Vince answered before clicking off.
Dom sat in his car and tried to figure out what this guy's plan was, if he had one. Would he try to shoot at him while racing or would he just try to run him off the road at 140 mph? Did Tran have someone else hiding that would try to take him out? Either way, lots of people would die, including Dom. Deciding that dying wasn't in his plans for today, he got ready for the race.
Hector dropped his arms and all four cars flew off of the line. Tran's guy was behind Dom and didn't look like he'd be catching up anytime soon. The other two cars were running neck and neck, but Dom was in front of them, so no worries there. Dom shifted gears and flew down Hawthorne, spectators becoming a blur as he passed them. Once he crossed the finish line, he slowed down a bit to see if Tran's guy would do something. He drove a couple of blocks and when it looked like he had turned back, Dom visibly relaxed. Turning the car around, he drove back to the group of people who were waiting to watch the next race.
When he pulled up, Vince and Leon made their way over with the girls.
"Dude, I hate to say it but I was a little worried," Leon said while shaking Dom's hand.
"Yeah, no shit man," Vince added.
"You're not the only one," Dom admitted.
Mia and Liz made their way over and stayed closed to the guys. Dom pulled Liz to him and wrapped his arms around her.
"You ok?" he asked.
"Yeah. I was hoping it was all for show," she said.
"Not as much as I was," Dom replied, glad that nothing bad happened.
Hector made his way over and handed Dom his winnings.
"Have you heard anything?" Dom asked him.
"Nothing man. Nobody's saying a fucking thing. I just can't figure it out. What in the hell is he up to?" Hector asked.
"I've been trying to figure that out for weeks. And since nothing's happened tonight, I'd put my money on next weekend at Race Wars."
"Just so you know, me and the guys are behind you if you need us," Hector offered.
Dom shook his hand. "Thanks man. I just might take you up on that offer. Liz seems to think that they may try to mess with the car before the races. I may need some extra eyes, know what I mean?"
Hector laughed. "I got you covered. We'll take care of it," he said, then turned to look at Liz. "She's a smart woman. I'd hang on to her if I were you."
"I'm trying man, I'm trying," Dom answered.
"Ready to go home?" Dom asked Liz after Hector walked off.
"Whenever you are."
They were pulling away from the crowds when they saw Tran and Letty standing beside his car, watching them.
"Think they'll try something else?" Liz asked.
"I don't think so, not until next weekend," he answered. "But don't worry, I've got eyes and ears all around. Someone's bound to slip up and when they do, we'll nail them."
"I hope so, Dom. I really hope so," Liz said as she relaxed back into the seat as Dom drove them home.
Liz held it together until they reached the safety of her townhouse and then she broke down. Huge sobs wracked her body as Dom held her in his arms. He hated the fact that she'd been caught in the middle of it all but he wasn't going to stop seeing her just because Letty threatened him.
