We both sat down and looked at each other in conformable silence when he
asked, "how have you been?"
I took a deep breath then said to him while looking at the grass "pretty good with all things considering." I said looking up at him then turning to look at the garden.
"After letting you go I made a mad run to my apartment to get a couple changes of cloths, personal items, all the money I had, and to leave my badge hanging on the bathroom mirror. Then I got into my car and just ran not knowing where I was going. To help finance the trip though I found where the races were being held in all the cities I stopped in and actually won all of them." Looking back at him and smiling because of it wasn't for Dom I knew I never would have stood a chance with some of the people that I raced back then.
"I pretty much followed that routine of driving all day and only stopping to eat, race, and sleep. Except one night I was at some hotel when the cops started snooping around my car. I just got everything from my room that I had and left. I was walking along some street when I heard the cops when some girl told me to get in. She drove me to the next town to some use car dealer ship. Where I bought a Skyline with some of the money I won from racing and because I had extra I fixed it up some." I paused for a few minutes to allow him to soak in what I was telling him and to collect the rest of my thoughts.
"Eventually I ended up in Miami, where right away I became friends with the 'must know guy' who ran everything done there. He would call me to race or I would just go down to where the races would be held at and I won all of them. Life was good until one day after the race the cops caught me, but they weren't really cops they were customs agents except for my old boss. Anyway instead of sending me to jail they offered me a deal that if I help them take down this big drug lord or something by going undercover and being a driver for him. That in return they promised they would erase my criminal record. They tried to partner me up with this guy who knew nothing about cars but I got them to let me partner up with Rome that he wouldn't get us killed and I could trust him when it came to driving."
"At first Rome wanted nothing to do with me cause he felt that I betrayed him by becoming a cop. When really the only reason I became one was because of my old man. I wanted to do something to make him proud of me since he never gave a shit about me." Dom touched my arm then told me it was all right I guess my voice got shaky or something. I smiled at him told him I was all right and took a deep breath then continued.
"You can guess by now that Rome and I took the job. We passed his test of getting is cigar first, watching him torture some cop into giving us a window to do his run for him, but we didn't finish the job we took the money they wanted us to run and split... That was about three weeks ago since then we been looking for you and the team and hadn't found anyone until tonight of course." I smiled at him, and he smiled back at me.
