It was the longest drive of my life, when in reality it only lasted for about five minutes. When we pulled up to the house Dom was saying something to the team, and miraculously I watched them all go inside the house. Then more miraculously I watched Rome head inside the house after Dom had said something to him at his car. Dom the turned to me and headed towards my car.

"Don't worry I'm not mad at you or hate you if that what you are worried about. I don't think the team is either, but I'm not to sure about that." Dom said to me rather quickly as he opened ups the passenger door of my car and got in.

"Let's go get some coffee and just talk for a couple of hours."

"Ok. where is the closest place." I replied to his question.

"Just go down this street." He said pointing "turn left and there a place just on your right." I nodded and pulled out onto the street without another word spoken between the two of us. A few minutes later we had arrived to the place that Dom had given me instruction to go to. We got out of the car and headed inside. Dom even held the door open for me as I locked up my car.

Once inside we headed for the furthest corner booth so we could be assured that we had the most privacy that we could get out in public and sat down.

We sat in silence for a few minutes the only thing going on is the waitress coming to take our order of two coffees and her bringing the orders a few minutes later. After sitting there and sipping our drinks we both started to ask each other at the same time "how have you been?"

We both started laughing and Dom started to answer the question.

"Everything been ok.After you let me go I drove as fast as I could to the Mexico border, and I almost got caught. Once I made it across the border it been ok and bought that house you saw for pretty cheap from so old guy and settled in. Leon and Letty found me two weeks after I got here. Everything was all right for about a week we all tried to avoid what happened and tried to live a somewhat normal life...Well for us anyway." He laughed "Then about a week and a half later Letty came up to me claiming that Leon in her were so in love that it was so totally over between us, but she would like everyone to still be friends." looking up and smiled at me. I smiled back feeling a bit worried about what he would say next.

"Somehow I wasn't that hurt about it, I figured it would happen eventually. Anyway about a month after everything happened between Letty and Me, Mia found us here and she had Vince and Jesse with her." he took a deep breath then looked at me again this time I could see some guilt as well as relief in his expression.

"I was so worried that Vince would hate me for everything that happened to him, and the Jesse would hate me because I wasn't there for him when he needed me. In reality though Jesse was blaming himself for him getting shot he was thinking I hated him. He would say stuff like I should have listened to Brian, I shouldn't have raced, and I shouldn't have taken off after I lost the race with Tran. I told him I wasn't mad that I never could hate him that I thought of him as family actually more like a brother, and family doesn't turn there back on family. I told him that actually I should be blamed for not being around and not doing something while he was in the hospital. Right away he said to me that he was glad I wasn't there that he didn't want to me in prison." He smiled slightly at that then continued.

"After that he hugged me and we been cool with each other to some extent mainly I still blame myself for everything that happened since even though he won't say I word. I know he still sometimes in a lot of pain." Dom stopped then sighed while picking up his coffee and taking a sip from it.

"I'm glad Jesse ok I was almost so sure he was .after Tran shot him." Brian said to Dom in almost a whisper. Looking at the table and picking up his cup of coffee and taking a drink from it.

"What happened with Vince?"

Dom took a deep breath, "Vince claims he doesn't hate me or blame me for what happened, but sometimes I think he does. It almost like I know what he thinking. If I hadn't trusted Brian, If I would have listened to Mia.the list could go on." He said sighing again and shifting in his sit.

"Mia is the only one that has openly blamed me for everything, She thinks if I would have listened to her things would have been different. You know she right, things would have been different we would still be in LA right now, but I had to go and do all that stupid shit."

We sat there in silence again when he then said, "Things are not as bad as you would think everything been pretty good once you get over the fact that the reason we're here is because of me. However we have it good here we've own our own garage again for the last month, and work there during the day. Plus about every other week we go and race at one of the races that are held every week around here. Pretty much that had been life for us."

It had been two hours since we been here and the waitress came back over to our booth.

"Gentlemen I'm afraid to say we are closing in 5 minutes I must ask you to leave." She said to them smiling and checking both of them out. Dom nodded and handed the waitress 10 bucks in Mexican money.

"Go ahead and keep the change." Dom said to her and grabbed my hand

"Can I drive you look kind of tired." He said to me, I nodded my head and handed him the keys to my car. He unlocked the car and we both got in. Dom started the car and started going somewhere. I figured I'd just trust him since I had no idea where we were anyway. Dom ended up taking us to a park that was empty. He then motioned for me to get out and to follow him. He led me to the top of a hill that had one of the most gorgeous views of a garden that was a couple miles away from here.

We both sat down and looked at each other in conformable silence when he said, "how have you been?"
