Chapter 7 : Jesse's task.
Dom banged on the door, "Mia will you open the fucking door!" he shouted.
"I'm coming!" Dom heard her come down the stairs. "You know patience is a virtue Dom," she mumbled as she opened the door. She looked up and saw Dom supporting Jesse. "Jesse!" she squealed as she leaned forward and hugged him, "I'm so glad your home."
"Yeah well Mia, let the kid get in the door." But Mia didn't listen she just fussed over Jesse like a mother did to her injured child.
"Mia I'm fine really, otherwise the hospital wouldn't have let me home, they know their shit Mia." Jesse ushered her off him and shuffled into the house. He looked around, it still looked the same. He saw Vince and Leon lying on the floor battling each other on the playstation. Letty came in the back door. "Hey guys, guess who's back?" said an enthusiastic Jesse.
Vince and Leon prised their eyes away from the screen. "Jesse, my man!" shouted Vince. Both men pushed themselves off the floor and made their way over to help Jesse to the sofa. Jesse heard. Letty rinsed her hands under the tap in the sink. She walked into the room, and saw Jesse sitting on the sofa. She smiled, "How ya doin' Jesse?"
"I'm good Letty. What you do to your face?" He asked. Dom glanced over at Letty's face and saw a large bruise on her left cheek. She saw him looking.
"It's nothing," she answered, Dom gave her a sceptical look, "really Dom it's nothing. I left a spanner on the bonnet and when I was going under it dropped off and hit me, that's all." Dom nodded, he wasn't sure whether she was telling the truth but didn't want to start an argument.
"You should put some ice on it." Dom told her in his deep masculine voice.
"Oh, cause I though you could." Letty replied in her domineering voice, she looked at him and then to the kitchen. Dom understood this and walked up to her wrapped his fingers around her wrist and then led her to the kitchen.
"I see nothing's changed," Jesse smirked, "I'm bored stiff people. What we up to tonight, a bit of racing maybe." His eyes lit up in excitement.
"Hah! I don't think so," laughed Mia.
"Mia I've been stuck in a hospital for four weeks with nothing to do, I'm fed up. I need to do some driving," Mia gave him an "as if" look, "Okay then, at least to watch some driving, I need some livening up!" he pleaded with her.
"No." interrupted Dom who had re-entered the room. Jesse shot him a desperate pleading look. "No means no Jesse end of story." Jesse cursed under his breath and flung himself onto the sofa. "Soon Jesse soon but not yet. Tonight we're gonna have a barbeque to celebrate you coming home."
"Some together time," grunted Leon, he laughed and the rest followed suit. "Together time" was not the Toretto's style.
"Well, if we're gonna have a barbeque, then we need some barbeque grub. Any one up for a trip to the store?" Vince asked them.
"I am let me just grab some shoes," answered Mia as she made her way up the stairs.
"I'm in but I'm driving." Replied Jesse. The whole team stopped still and looked at Jesse, "I'm joking!" grinned Jesse. Dom gave a sarcastic laugh at Jesse. "I need a fag, the way you lot just looked at me its enough to make anyone stressed," moaned Jesse. Leon gave him a playful hit over the back of the head. Letty smiled as she looked around the room, "this was the way things were supposed" to be she thought to herself.
Mia came down the stairs she looked flustered and out of breath, "Couldn't find my shoe," she gave herself a little laugh. "Come on then Vince." She grabbed his arm and headed out the door. Dom glanced down to make sure Mia actually had both her shoes on before she left.
"Wait! I'm gonna come," Letty called out to Mia and Vince, "Then I can drive and we wont have to wait all night for Mia." She added quietly to the others still in the room, she gave a quick kiss on Dom's cheek and followed Mia and Vince down the drive. He heard the sound of car doors slamming and then the sound of an engine.
"Well guys I've gotta take care of a couple of things. I'll be back in about an hour, catch ya later." Leon walked out of the house.
"So Dom, what you wanna do?" asked a fed-up Jesse.
"Well Jesse I got some paper work to sort out for the store. But I got a job for you to do, I want you check out those guys that showed up at the race the other night. We got a name, a Ray Hoddle." Dom told Jesse.
"Sure Dom, but you know that name probably aint real."
"I know but he might have given the same name to someone else, see if he's turned up at any other races, but Jesse don't let on to any of the others." Jesse nodded in response, he knew not to ask why, Dom would tell him if he though he needed to know.
Dom banged on the door, "Mia will you open the fucking door!" he shouted.
"I'm coming!" Dom heard her come down the stairs. "You know patience is a virtue Dom," she mumbled as she opened the door. She looked up and saw Dom supporting Jesse. "Jesse!" she squealed as she leaned forward and hugged him, "I'm so glad your home."
