"So, Twiggs, What do you do for a living?" Dom asked as the two were seated at the table in the backyard. They had just met not 15 minutes before, and Dom was curious to know why Letty had dragged this stranger into the house.
Twiggs cleared his throat and sat up,taking a sip of his Corona.
"Well, I'm an MP officer." He said calmly, examing the response on Dom's face.
"You mean you're a cop for the military?" He asked, standing up.
"Yeeeah,basically. I'm a Marine, otherwise." He finished.
"Excuse me for a second." Dom said,walking off to find Letty and chew her out.
He found Letty talking with Leon and Jesse in the living room,laughing.
"LETTY!" Dom signaled for her to come.
"What?" She asked innocently, walking over to the corner of the room.
"Your little friend Twiggs is a cop. A fuckin cop for the fuckin military." Dom explained.
Letty's jaw dropped and she stared at Dom for a moment, trying to think of something to say.
"I'm not after you,Toretto. I know aaaaaall about you, but I can't touch you, mainly because I'm Military Police." Twiggs said, overhearing the conversation.
Dom perked up and looked over at the man, staring him down.
"I'm not here to bust you or your team,Dominic. I'm here because Letty sorta dragged me over here."
"Yo Dom, I got the special parts you wanted from Harry..." Vince walked in, not seeing Twiggs.
"Who the hell is this?" Vince asked, walking up beside Dom.
"Um, Vince, this is our neighbor Twiggs."
Twiggs held out a hand, and Vince just stared at it.
"Not much of a grip there, buddy." Twiggs cocked an eyebrow.
"Not yet.." Vince mumbled, walking off toward the kitchen.
"He's always like that. It'll take awhile.." Letty assured him.
"Riiiiight..." Twiggs trailed off.
"Oh yeah, the reason I brought Twiggs over here,Dom, was because he owns a car I thought you might like to think about restoring." Letty explained quaintly.
Dom looked back and forth between Letty and Twiggs then finally sighed.
"What kind of car?" He asked.
"1967 Shelby Mustang GT-500. Wrecked it a while back." Twiggs answered.
"You race?" Dom asked curiously.
"Would if I still had something to race..."
Dom thought for a moment and sighed...again.
"I'll tell you what. We'll put your Shelby on top priority at DT, and you'll help fix it. In return.." Dom stopped and grinned.
"Yeah?" Twiggs asked.
"You work for me. At DT." He finished.
Twiggs thought for a moment and smilled.
"Alright...you got a deal, Toretto."
"Good. Welcome to DT," Dom said, shaking Twiggs's hand.
"This...is going to need alot of work.." Jesse said, staring at the wrecked Mustang in awe.
"Tell me about it. The only reason I haven't fixed it before now is because it's just too big of a job." Twiggs explained.
"I said it's going to need alot of work, I didn't say we couldn't do it.." Jesse grinned.
Twiggs smiled and nodded.
"Aight then. Let's get crackin..."
Over the next few weeks, Twiggs and Team Toretto had grown like a family. Twiggs attending races and celebrating when Dom won. He worked at DT during the day, working hard to complete his Mustang. And the day soon came when it was finally completed, and it was time to take it to the track to get a 1/4 mile timing.
"Alright,Twiggs,show us what your baby can do." Dom said with a grin, slapping the top of the car.
Twiggs turned the key and the car roared to life almost immediately, finally settling with a final,satisfied pur.
He tapped the accelerator a few times, just to get the gas flowing, then prepared to shift as the light turned yellow.
On green, he shifted into first and slammed his foot into the gas pedal as the car lurched forward with amazing force. The RPM needle hit redline and Twiggs shifted up into second, juicing it for all it was worth before shifting into third.
He looked straight ahead. Straight ahead towards his goal. As he shifted into fourth gear, he felt the sudden boost of raw power as the turbo spooled up and the powerbelt kicked in. He was forced almost completely back into his seat as he passed 145 mph.
Instinctively, he shifted into fifth as the car's roar faded to dig deeper into it's powerhouse,all 915 horses speeding the car forward across the finish line.
Twiggs finally started to breathe again as he downshifted into first and lifted his foot off of the accelerator and turned back toward the start line.
"WAY TO GO TWIGGS!" Letty grinned, giving him a high five.
Letty and Twiggs had become like brother and sister over the few weeks Twiggs was there, both of them constantly playing around.
"Well?" Twiggs breathed hard.
Dom looked down at computer screen and grinned.
"Nine point 6 seconds.." He trailed off.
Twiggs practically shit his pants at the sound of his 1/4 mile time.
"JEEESUS!" Jesse yelled in amazement.
"DOM,HE BEAT YOUR TIME!" Leon laughed.
"Yeah,yeah.." Dom sulked.
"This baby is gonna go crazy at races tonight.." Letty said,running a hand across the pearlescent black coat.
"No kidding.." Twiggs agreed, jumping back in the car.
"C'mon guys, I'm gonna treat you all to breakfast...Which i will probaly regret." He grinned, starting the beast again.
"WOOT!" Letty yelled, jumping into Dom's RX-7.
A/N This chapter was kind of lame, mostly because of the time lapse, lol. Didn't feel like writing but i had to update. But i think it shows what kind of relationship Twiggs has with Team Toretto. Yeah....Shout out to Cheer, love you baby, thanks for being there when i needed you! UPDATE YOUR FUCKING STORY! ;) love you, ttyl.
