vandanell-flash doesn't get hangovers, remember? ;) Are you callin her that because of her dance routine with Letty? If so that's clever. I might have to work that into later chatpers, like V starts callin' her flash. Of course it can have two meanings because she's starting to get good at racing. Very cute. Thanks for the compliment on my boys. I can't wait to take the rex out and teach the ricers a lesson on Saturday nights :) His engine'll be all rebuilt by this weekend. I could dance I'm so excited. Anyway, on to the story.

Chapter 25 - You gotta get outa here.

The other girls all arrived and there ended up being about 20 of them all together. Nyssa thought it looked like a Barbie Doll convention in the house while they partied and danced, waiting till a fashionable time to head down to the club. But the girls were all nice, even if some of them were a little air headed. They headed down to the club around 12. Nyssa and Manda both got in no trouble.

It was a new club and it was awesome inside. The tables around the edge of the dance floor were made of clear plastic and they were lit inside with neon lights. The walls were black. The dance floor was also lit up with a light show in time to the music. The place was lit at the ceiling with black lights and the girls with white on were glowing. The bars served all the drinks in neon coloured cups that glowed under the black lights. Nyssa was almost over whelmed. She should have invited Letty.

They all bought a drink and headed out to dance. They all danced together as a group but random guys would cut in on them. Some guy started to dance with Nyssa. She figured what can a little dance hurt and danced along with him. It was fun. She realized it was Chad from the shop. That song ended and then she started to dance with Manda. She didn't want to dance with any one guy too long in case they got ideas about her being into them or something. She didn't see the other guy in the corner watching her.

This was a street racer club, it was where a lot of the people who didn't go to Hector's club came. So a lot of the guys here knew Dom and his team and had seen her with Dom at last race night or at his shop. Cause Dom worked on a lot of racer's cars when they didn't have the knowledge to do it themselves or they just wanted it done by the best. They had all heard she was Vince's girlfriend but had just seen her dance with another guy.

The guy watching her knew damn well she was Vince's girlfriend. It was Brian. He was here to try to get info out of the racers, to see if anyone knew anything about the trucks. He hadn't come up with anything yet. He did happen to know that this club was getting raided by the LAPD later because it was fairly new and the cops liked to make sure that they were checking id's and not serving minors. And since he knew for a fact that Nyssa and her cousin were underage he knew they were in for it. Especially since he had seen them order drinks no fewer then 4 times. He had to get Nyssa out of here before she got hauled downtown.

But on the other hand that would mean that Dom and the team would know he had been out tonight and might wonder what he had been doing down here. Since he was seeing Mia it might look like he came down here to try to pick up another girl. Or like he was snooping again. After they had caught him at El Gato Negro he didn't know how they would react to knowing he was at another racer bar. At least Nyssa was too drunk to ask questions. Well if the Team ever found out he was here and could have saved her from getting hauled in then he would never live it down. He stood up and walked her way.

He cut in on her and her cousin. He told her she shouldn't be here.

"Oh shit, I mean hi Brian. How's it goin?"

"Fine, till I saw my girl's underage friend was dancing on the dance floor of a licensed club."

"I know Brian, but chill out. I got it all covered." She showed him the ID, proud as could be.

"This is fake."

"Well I know that and you know that but the doorman didn't know that." "Nyssa you have to go. Ok? Take your cousin and anyone else you brought with you that is underage and leave ok?"

"No, I don't want to go." Nyssa stamped her foot and pouted at Brian.

Brian grabbed her arm and drug her to the hall were the bathrooms were. It was quieter there and he had to reason with her. "You've gotta go. I know some people downtown and this place is gettin' raided tonight. Any cop will know that is a fake id and you're goin downtown if they catch you in here with that id."

"Oh shit. I gotta get Manda. She is the only other underage one in the group."

"Go get her and meet me out front. I'm not drinking so I'll drive you guys home."

"Ok, thanks Brian."

"OK, go and get her and meet me out front." He checked his watch. "You have like 5 minutes, GO."

Nyssa took off and found Manda. Nyssa told her they had to go now. Manda started to protest and Nyssa told her to shut up and dragged her out into the night air in front of the club and looked for the red truck Brian drove. She saw the truck off down the street a little. She made Manda sit in the middle and just as Nyssa sat in the truck about 5 cop cars squealed up.

"Oh shit." Both girls said as the cops blocked the door so no one could get out but past them. "Thanks Brian. That would be all either of us needed.

"I didn't want Dom to find out I let you get taken in when I could have stopped it. I'm taking you guys to Dom's now though."

"No, we need to go to Janet's. That is where we are staying tonight."

"No way. I'm taking you to Dom's. I'm not leaving you anywhere else. Do I look crazy to you?"

"I wonder if Vince would find it interesting that you knew the cops were coming before they even showed up? Do you think that piece of info would interest him and Dom Manda?"

"Oh definitely Nys, I think that Vince and Dom would find that fascinating."

"That's dirty girls, I saved your asses back there and you guys know it." Brian was terrified that if they did find that out it would blow his cover. It had come close enough to happening when they caught him at Hector's club. The girls shared a look.

"Here's the deal Brian. You take Manda home to Janet's. She doesn't have to be involved in this. Then I let you take me home to Dom's. But you tell him that we ran into you at a house party. You can say you know our cousin Janet and you ran into us there. Then since you hadn't had anything to drink in a long time you offered me a drive home. Then they don't need to know that I was at that club and they don't need to know that you knew the cops were coming."

"Fine, as long as you go home to Dom's Nyssa."

"Fine, I'll go home to Dom's." Manda gave her a grateful look.

So they dropped Manda off at Janet's and Nyssa got her bag. Then she hopped back in the truck with Brian and they headed for Dom's. It was like 2am by this time. She told Brian if Vince was mad about getting woken up at this hour she was blaming him.

She needn't have worried. The team was still up in the living room. She walked in and sat on the floor with Letty. Vince asked her why she came home with Brian, almost spitting out the name Brian, and not in her own car. She told him she went to a party with Manda, to one of her other cousin's houses and she had too much to drink to drive home, so when she saw Brian was there too she asked him for a ride home and he was fine with that.

Letty could tell she was lying and could tell she had more then a little too much to drink. Brian told them all he was going home for the night but would be down at the garage in the morning for awhile. He and Dom were hoping to finish the supra soon.

Letty looked at Nyssa who looked pale and messed up. Nyssa had started to sober up a bit and was realizing she could have ended up bringing cops around Dom's and the thought of how bad that could have ended up hit her. Letty knew Nyssa had to talk about it and plus Letty was just plain curious. She stood up and told Nyssa that they were going to have a good old fashioned girls sleepover upstairs in Letty's room. Why Letty still had her own room was anyone's guess but she did. Nyssa nodded her agreement and the two girls went upstairs.

"What the hell is this all about do you think?" Vince asked the group in general. Everyone shook their heads in the universal I have no idea manner. "Nyssa looked upset didn't she?" Leon and Jesse nodded yes, Dom refused to get into it. "If that fucker Spilner did anything to her I'll kill him." Vince said.

"Come off it Vince, he is so into Mia she could lead him around on a leash. He didn't do anything to Nyssa." Dom said in a tone that said he knew he was stating the obvious and wished Vince saw that too. Vince just frowned his Vince frown they all knew so well.

Upstairs the girls changed into shorts and tanks for bed and Letty started in at Nyssa.

"Ok girl, what really went down, you look like shit, and since we both know you don't get hung over you better tell me what happened tonight."

"Ok Letty, I gotta tell someone anyway or I'll never sleep, and man am I tired. Anyway here's what happened. I didn't go to Manda's for a girl's night of makeup and movies. We went to Manda's cousin on her mom's side, Janet's to get ready. They we had a house party there. Around 12 we went to this new club. My cousins are all racer chasers so the bar they picked was this new one that all the racers go to. That was fine, Manda and I got in with our fake ID's just fine. We were having a great time when Brian comes up to me. Wait a second, you have to promise me none of this makes it out of this room. Promise?"

"Sure I promise, just spill the rest of the story. This is getting good. You should have asked me to go. I have fake id too."

"Next time, but anyways back to the story. So Brian comes up to me and tells me that he just happens to know that LAPD is raiding the place later to make sure they are not serving underage drinkers and that I gotta get out of there before the cops show up. So I grabbed Manda and we high tailed it out of there and got right into Brian's truck. Just as we got in and got down about 5 or 6 cruisers pulled up, locked the place down and started checking ID. Brain says that no matter how good our ID's were the cops would know they were fake."

"Oh shit." Letty was loving this story, she loved action.

"So Brian wouldn't hear of taking us to Manda's. It had to be home to Dom's. Fuck. I had to blackmail him into taking me here and Manda home to Janet's. I had to tell him I would tell Vince, ol Mr. Wile E. Coyote, he knew the cops were coming before they ever arrived if he didn't take Manda home cause she didn't need to be involved in the shit here if it should have hit the fan. Plus her mom and dad would flip out. But I mean Letty. Imagine what would have happened if Brian had not been there. The last thing we need is cops around the place. Vince would kill me, if Dom didn't first."

"Ya, having the cops bring you home wouldn't have been good. Thank god for Brian." Letty hadn't thought of that aspect till Nyssa pointed it out. "How are you making so much sense, you're smashed."

"And you're jealous cause you're sober." Both girls laughed and then went to bed.

Vince tossed and turned for 45 minutes after he went to bed, trying to sleep without Nyssa in his arms and gave up. He trudged upstairs and tiptoed into Letty's room. Both girls were asleep on Letty's double bed. Nyssa was on the side closest to Vince, he thanked god for that. He picked her up carefully and went to leave the room. She moaned in her sleep and wrapped her arms around his neck and put her head on his shoulder. He almost bumped into Dom in the door way.

"You too brotha?" Vince asked Dom. Dom smiled a sheepish grin and grabbed Letty. Both men headed back to their rooms.

Nyssa woke up all disorientated. She thought she was in the bed upstairs with Letty when she went to sleep, not with Vince. She hadn't wanted to sleep with Vince in case he noticed she was not up to par, or exceedingly drunk, and quizzed her. They didn't call him Coyote for nothing. He could get almost all her secrets out of her without even working hard at it. She was sure she had gone to sleep upstairs. She opened her eyes and saw Vince on one elbow staring down at her. She smiled at him and he sorta smiled back. She could tell he was thinking about something and that never boded well for her.

"Morning V. How did I end up down here?" She decided to start with something that would hopefully throw him off the trail of what really happened.

"I knew Dom would go for Lett eventually so I went to get you. You belong down here with me."

"I like Letty. Girls need to dish sometimes without a male present."

"So what'd you guys talk about last night?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Ya, that's why I asked."

"We talked about cute boys. Letty thought that Chad was a hottie too."

"'Cuse me! Who is Chad?"

"You know, Mr. Evo? Tall, thin..Ring a bell?" She laughed to show him she was kidding then proceeded to show him he was the only man for her. Which also made him forget he had wanted to ask her why she came home drunk and seemingly scared from a girls night at her cousins.
