After spending the night in a semi-comfortable bed at a nearby hotel,
everybody was sitting around the poolside.
"Luckily the house insurance is going to cover everything that was wrecked," Mia said, sipping her drink.
"I'm more bothered about the bastards who did it," Vince growled.
"If we rule out the Tran's, who else could it be?" Leon posed the question to everyone.
"Maybe they were looking for something," Letty suggested.
"Like what?" Elly asked.
"Well, everybody knows we make a shit load of money from the races we win. They must've been looking for our stash," Letty shrugged.
"Nah, they wouldn't destroy the house that much just looking for cash. I think they were looking for something else," Jesse said slowly, looking between Vince and Leon.
"Huh?" Mia said.
"What are you talking about?" asked Letty.
"Do you know something we don't?" Elly asked, pointing with her thumb to her, Mia and Letty.
"Err, no," Vince said unconvincingly, scratching his head.
"Yes you do!" Letty cried standing up from her chair.
"What is it? What were they looking for?" Mia pushed, standing up and putting her hands on the table in front of her.
"What the hell have you done?" Elly shouted, moving round the table to stand behind the three men. They all winced as the girls were ganging up on them.
"Vince?" Mia asked, raising an eyebrow and folding her arms. He looked up at her then turned away.
"Leon?" She tried him next. He hung his head and pretended to be interested in his shoe.
"Jesse?" she asked. He continued playing with his can of coke, looking sideways at the floor.
"Okay fine! It was a diamond!" Leon broke first.
"Leon!" Vince scolded.
"What? It was Dom's stupid fuckin' plan anyway!" Leon defended.
"A diamond?" Elly repeated.
"We hit a truck filled with diamond necklaces imported from Tokyo," Jesse explained.
"I can't believe they broke you two!" Vince said to himself.
"When did you hit a truck without me?" Letty questioned.
"You hit a truck? And you didn't tell us!" Mia cried.
"How much is the diamond worth?" Elly asked quietly.
"Five hundred," Leon said quietly, looking around at the other guests in the hotel suspiciously.
"Five hundred dollars?" Mia asked. Five hundred dollars for a diamond that caused this much trouble didn't seem right.
"No," Jesse said.
"Five hundred thousand?" Letty's eyes widened.
"No," Jesse said cringing.
"Five hundred million?!" Elly screamed, drawing attention to themselves even more. Mia and Letty sat down in their seats.
"Baby, calm down, you're drawing attention to us," Leon said, getting up and holding her elbow.
"We had a diamond worth half a BILLION dollars in our house and you think I'M drawing attention?" Elly asked in disbelief.
"It's not in the house," Vince stated.
"Where is it then?" Mia snapped.
"It's in hiding," Vince said.
"Now look who's been broken," Jesse smirked at Vince.
"Where is it hiding?" Letty asked through clenched teeth.
"It's hidden in an abandoned warehouse estate. Only Dom and Hector know the exact whereabouts," Vince said.
"Wait a minute. Dom told me he put it in bank safe," Jesse said.
"He told me he hid it at the garage," Leon added.
"Fucking bastard! He was screwing us over again!" Letty yelled, and stormed back in the hotel.
Elly and Leon went back to their seats. Everybody was sitting in silence.
"You have to get out of here," Mia said to the guys.
"What?" Vince asked.
"Come on, V! You stole a diamond that could buy a small island! You need to leave, it's only a matter of time before the cops are on to the trucks," Mia explained.
"Mia's right. I mean we haven't exactly got a home anymore anyways. We need to lay low for a while," Jesse agreed.
"Where we gonna go?" Leon shrugged.
"Miami sound good?" Mia smiled. Everybody smiled back and went upstairs to their rooms to pack.
"Luckily the house insurance is going to cover everything that was wrecked," Mia said, sipping her drink.
