Letty's POV:
It's been months since the heists, months since I've seen Dom. At least Leon was here with me though, well almost. He's been different since we've been here. Can't really blame the guy it screwed all of us up. Some worse than others. It was true we needed Dom back, he was our leader, our back bone, my lover. But still no word, he could be dead for all I know.
After three weeks of being down here and no word from anyone Leon and I had to get a job. I would have gotten one sooner but I wasn't feeling to hot, cracked a couple ribs, had a concussion, all kinds of shit. I guess flipping three times in a car does that. So we started looking and found one in a garage. They hired both of us but the pay was shitty, the hours were long and it was hella hot. Times like these where you miss the a/c.
It was a Sunday morning when the phone rang I was half asleep when I answered it wondering who the hell it was. No one had or knew this number well except for one.
"Hello?" My tone was grumpy.
"Letty? It's Mia."
"Mia!? How ya been girl? Where ya at?"
"Not so good." I heard her sniffle. "I'm in the car, we're coming down."
"Dom wit you?"
"No, I don't know where he's at. I'm with Vince he just got released from the hospital."
"They just let him walk?" Sounds suspicious.
"Yea, I just went in and got him."
"Hmmmm…..sounds like Spilner's been a busy boy."
"Is Leon there?" She ignored my comment.
"Yea been out of it lately though.""Poor thing, we'll be there in a day or two."
"Mia," I paused, "Jess's with you right?"
"Ummm…he ummm, Letty…I" She started crying and then I head V in the background trying to calm her down. The phone went dead as I turned to see Leon standing there with the phone cord ripped out of the wall.
"It's bullshit Letty, he's there, has to be." He dropped the cord, slamming his hand on the dresser.
"Leon I don't think…" I've never seen Leon like this before, in this state. He was always carefree, playing around, never serious. It's like he did a total 360, but we all knew how close he and Jess were. He walked away not wanting to hear it. I heard the front door shut and I realized that we may have just lost Leon, forever.
No One's POV:
The team was finally coming back together, though painfully slow. Mia and Vince were in Mexico within the day and at the house a couple hours after that. Mia parked her Integra in the driveway and got out of the car.
"Need help Vince?" She asked opening the door for him.
"Thanks Mia but I still know how to walk." He grumbled, still a little sore.
"Just checking, you forget sometimes." She smiled walking to the door.
"Wouldn't mind if ya took care of me though Mi." He came up behind her poking her in the side.
"You're just fine Vincent." She knocked but didn't have to wait long before Letty appeared.
"Letty!!" Mia screamed throwing herself in her arms.
"Jesus Mia I'm glad to see you to but damn!" Letty laughed the first time in months. Mia let Letty go and wandering inside remarking how dirty the place was.
"Hey V, nice battle scar." She teased tracing the rope burn on his arm.
"Yea kind of gives me that gruffer effect, chicks dig that." He admired it holding it up.
"Keep dreaming Coyote." Letty slugged him in the arm.
"Get over here Lett." He pointed to the spot in front of him before wrapping her up in a hug.
Mia popped her head out the door not seconds after.
"Where's Leon?" Concern was etched on her face.
"Dunno he left right after I got off the phone with you."
"I'll go get him." V announced grabbing the car keys from Mia's hand.
"Vince you just got out of the hospital! The doctor said no driving for at least two weeks or you will put strain on your arm…" Mia kept babbling on but he just waved her off and got in. He pulled out stopping right in front of the house.
"Don't worry Mi, when I get back you can take care of me." He winked before peeling off in her Acura. Letty turned around and gave her that I - Know - You - Like - Him look but Mia was to distraught to caught it.
"He'll be fine Mia." Letty said leading her inside and locking the door.
"You gonna tell me what happened now?"
