AN: chikita-latinaI don't know how to explain what's up with the couples
really but let me try. It all makes perfect sense to me cause it came out
of my brain. LOL. Trust me, you're not the first person to be confused by
stuff I think up and think is fine. Here goes. Nyssa in very into Vince.
Vince thinks he's very into Nyssa but old feelings about Mia are hard to
let go of, they've been a part of him for the better part of his adult
life. Dom loves Letty and Letty loves Dom, however Letty is fed up of the
way he is always flirting with skanks, even if he hasn't cheated on her in
a very long time and Dom knows he's gonna have to make some changes to keep
her because she is getting fed up. They're gonna hit a rough spot but I'll
promise you they make it out in the end Kay? Kay. I hope that clears up any
confusion for people, and if other people are confused too for goodness
sakes leave a note and let me know. I'll go back over it and see if I can
improve the details or somethin. Now read the update then go read my new
story, Adrenaline. And review that one too for goodness sakes. It's good, I
swear.
Chapter 16 - Busted!
"Letty, what's up with you?" Mia wanted to know why she was leaving Dom in the clutches of the skanks.
"Well, if he would rather flirt with skanks then be with me that's his problem. He needs to get over it and me yelling at him over it is clearly not helping. So I am going to see what ignoring him does."
"Good plan, see how this works. Couldn't be much worse right?" Nyssa elbowed Letty and they laughed. Nyssa cranked the tunes in her car and she and Letty started to grove a little to the music. The song she had queued up was a techno track called Phat Bass. Nyssa and Letty drug Mia into it and the three of them got into it. They didn't notice the crowd they attracted.
Dom and Vince noticed the crowd of people around where they parked and headed over. They saw the girls dancing, and watched as other people, including guys, joined in. Vince shook his head, it never failed to amaze him how that girl started stuff, and since it was her stereo that was cranked he would bet money this had been her idea. Of course Lett was dancing with some guy who had joined in and Dom looked ready to start throwing punches. They fought their way through the crowd and cut in on the guys who were dancing with their girls. Vince told Nyssa it was time to turn the music off, Dom was ready to race. She turned it off and a chorus of Awe's went up from the group. They had wanted to dance. But they dispersed now that the music was off and Dom and Vince were around.
Dom called the race and it went off smoothly. Dom won. Nothing new there. Too bad there was no one to give him a run for his money. He called another race since the cops hadn't been called yet. She asked Vince if he wanted to use her car and go for it. Vince thought about it for a second and decided he knew the car well enough and he did feel like racing tonight. He took her keys and told Dom he wanted in on the race. Dom didn't want him to race because he didn't want to race his friend. Vince wouldn't back down because it had been a long time since he got to race and Dom raced nearly every race night. Dom relented and told Vince he was in. They gave Hector the money and Vince climbed into her car. Nyssa walked up to the driver's window, which Vince rolled down.
"Good luck. Go get 'em."
"Thanks." She patted his shoulder and moved to walk away. Vince grabbed her wrist and turned her back around. She looked at him questioningly. He tugged her down and she leaned slightly in the window. He kissed her hard. "That's what I really needed for luck sweetness. See ya in the winners circle." She leaned in the window and changed the song on the stereo.
"No, this is what you need for luck." She walked away and the song changed to one Vince had never heard before. It went you better lose yourself in the music; the moment, you better never let it go. You only get one shot. Good inspirational tune he thought.
He pulled the car up to the line and the four men who were involved in this race got ready to roll. Mia and Nyssa could not decide who they thought would win. Letty thought it would be Dom because it was always Dom. Leon announced it was go time when he got a 187 on the scanner and Hector dropped his arms. The two other guys may as well have just given their money and sat this one out because after two seconds it was oblivious this race was all about the red Mazda and the purple Nissan. They were neck and neck. Dom had experience, Vince had the frustration of knowing he was the known around as the big dumb guy, both had cars that could bring the speed. One car would gain half a length then the other would catch right up. 7 seconds down, 2 to go.
Vince and Dom had both already used the NOS; they were still neck and neck. Could Vince get off a third charge? Would it ruin Nyssa's car? Either he tried it or he accepted a tie with Dom. It wouldn't be a full shot so it should be fine. He went for it, knowing that with Dom's system after two shots it was pretty well empty. He got just enough of an edge to beat Dom. He was going to have a hard time getting stopped from 170 though.
He got it slowed down and pulled a U. He headed back to where the whole crowd was cheering. What a race. They didn't know when they had last seen someone beat Dom. Mia was looking at Dom like she expected him to freak out and do something crazy. Letty was secretly glad, hoping maybe Dom would gain some humility, seeing that he was no superman and he could be beaten. Nyssa was cheering in the middle of a crowd of other people who were cheering.
Vince got out of the car and walked up to her. The people parted out of his way but Nyssa stood her ground.
"Way to go cowboy. I knew you could do it." Vince picked her up by the waist and swung her around.
"Thanks for letting me use your car."
"I just hope some day I can drive it the way you just did."
"You will."
"Cops, we got cops, go. Go. Go." Leon shouted. Vince and Nyssa jumped in the Skyline, Vince drove. They ran and got out of there so fast the cops never saw them. They were the first ones home. Vince put the money in his room and Nyssa sat down in the living room, not knowing if there would be a big party or not. Leon showed up next, then Mia who had jumped in Jesse's car. Then Dom showed up. Everyone wondered where Letty was. The phone rang and Nyssa grabbed it.
"Torreto's"
"Nyssa, its Letty. I got caught by the cops. I'm down at the station on Parkwood. Could you or one of the guys come and get me? I need money to pay my fine too. It is in my room under the bed in a box. I know that is not a great place but bring a couple hundred bucks whoever comes ok?"
"Sure Lett, I'll come right now girl, be there in about 30 minutes Kay?"
"Sure. Thanks a lot Nyssa."
"No problem."
She hung up and turned to the team, "I gotta go get Letty from the police station. She has to pay a fine and they are keeping her car overnight."
"I'll go get her." Dom said and turned to leave.
"No Dom, you better let me go for her, I'll take Mia." Nyssa stated.
"She's my girl, I'll go get her."
"Ok Dom, smart idea. After all the cops are bound to believe you when you tell them your girlfriend went racing without you this evening. Plus your car is hot and the NOS is all used up. They have enough to question you too. They have nothing on me."
"Your NOS is used up too, and your car is also in obviously just been raced shape too so I don't see how it matters who goes and gets her."
"I can take the Mustang and it's not even a race car. Just the two Torreto girls getting the third, nothing funny 'bout that. Dom Torreto picking up his girlfriend at the police station after she got picked up for street racing. Not smart." Dom relented and Mia and Nyssa went upstairs and grabbed the money. They headed for the front door. Vince stopped them.
"Remember Nyssa, you were home all night, you and Mia have school tomorrow so you were studying or something. Tell them we all stayed home just in case Letty told them that they had it all wrong she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time or something."
"We'll do fine Vince. See you soon." The two girls left and headed down to the police station Letty had named. They walked in and Nyssa walked up to the desk jockey du jour. "We are here to get Letty Lopez please."
"Who are you two? Are you a relation of hers?"
"Yes, we are her cousins. Can you get her now? I understand she is only being held pending the payment of her fine."
"Well, that depends. Where were you ladies all evening?"
"Home studying, we both have school tomorrow, so we would like to get Letty and go home. We need to get up early in the morning."
"What kind of car did you drive here in?"
Nyssa knew he had no right to question them in this manner but she didn't know if he could turn around and keep Letty over night if he felt like it so while she wanted to tell him to go to hell she bit her tongue and told him a 67 mustang convertible. The cop looked out the front door and saw the car sitting there. "So can you get Letty now or is there some other event that has to happen first?"
"You ladies sure you were home all evening?" They both nodded yes.
"What about Torreto and his band of thugs? They home all evening too?" The cop looked at them both. Nyssa answered without hesitating, she hoped she knew Letty as well as she thought she did.
"Yes we were all home. You must have picked up Letty while she went for a drive. She was the only one that left the house all evening. Mia and I were studying while the guys watched a flick." Nyssa was getting pissed off at this guy's attitude. "Listen, can you go get Letty now. I have the money to pay her fine, that she no doubt does not even deserve, and that was the only terms that were conditional of her release. So either you go get her or I call my lawyer."
"Oh I'm scared now. You gonna call your lawyer. Like people like you have more then legal aid."
"Well really people like me keep Kevin Elliot on retainer and you must know he is far from legal aid." He was her daddy's lawyer and he was good.
The cop knew who that was and he couldn't keep the girl. He relented and went and got her. They paid the fine and climbed into the mustang. Letty told Nyssa she heard every word and it was perfect. They arrived home to just the guys, no party. Dom said he wasn't in the mood. Poor baby was sulking over losing to Vince. Letty told the story of how great Nyssa had been. Nyssa was quick to point out how much Dom had wanted to go and how worried he had been. Letty looked at Dom and could tell by how grateful he was that Nyssa brought it up he really had wanted to go get her.
"So it's not that he's lazy, he wanted to come get me eh? Well what stopped him?" Letty wanted to know.
"Nyssa thought he would end up in with you so she made him stay home." Vince figured she would believe him, and she did.
Dom and Letty went to bed and the rest of the team unwound a little with some Grand Theft Auto, which always relaxed them. Nyssa fell asleep with her head in Vince's lap while he played video games. He was planning on buying her something nice for letting him use her car but he didn't know what to buy a girl one thought one liked that wasn't too serious, but at the same time was not insipid. While he was thinking about that Leon won the game against Jesse and yelled. Nyssa came to with a start. She told Vince she was going to bed, even if it was only 2am and she didn't have to get up early the next day, she was tired.
