~~Letty's POV~~
Mia came running in the room, I jumped up from the bed and within seconds everybody else came in.
"What happened" Mia yelled
"Nothing I was just sleeping and Dom dropped a glass" I said
"Dom what's going on dawg?" Leon said
Dom just stood there, not responding in any way. If I didn't see him breathing I would have thought it was a statue of him.
"Dom, wake up, man what are you staring at?" Brian asked
And again no response, he just kept staring out of the window. Vince came up to him and grabbed Dom by his shoulders and turned him around. He now woke up from his catatonic stage and immediately pushed Vince away from him and ran out of the room.
"MY CAR, somebody stole MY CAR!!" he yelled
Dom ran downstairs and everybody followed except for me. How much I wanted to run downstairs to see what's going on. I can't leave the room naked.
When I finally joined the others. I saw Sarah and Sean searching for clues on how the boost was pulled. Dom and Vince were cursing and yelling and Brian, Mia, Leon and Jesse just stood there doing nothing.
"Shouldn't we call the cops or something?" Jesse asked Dom
"No, I'm gonna find the thief myself and when I find him I'll kill him." Dom growled
"I bet it's not a 'him' but a 'her'." Sarah said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked
"The two cops who were here last night said there were lots off car-boosts lately and they know it's a girl. My guess is that the one who's boosted those cars is also the one who took yours." Sarah said
"So all we have to do is find a girl who steals cars, that shouldn't be a problem." Jesse said.
"If it's easy or not we have to find the car soon or it will be shipped out of state." Sean said
"Jess, why don't you go and find on the internet if the cops have a lead on who's pulling this shit all over city" Dom said "What have you planned for us, Dom?" I asked
"We are going to the garage, we have work to do. And Letty I'm drivin' your car."
"Hell no, what am I supposed to drive." I reacted
"You'll be in the passenger-seat next to me." Dom said as serious as ever
Sarah and Mia looked at me with a look that said "men and there ego's".
I nodded and let Dom have his way. I didn't feel like having a grumpy boyfriend the whole day. I guess it was inevitable with his car stolen today, but I didn't feel the need to make it worse
~~Leon's POV~~
We all got to work but business was slow today. Usually when business was slow we talked about just anything. But today we just sat there.
Most likely we all waited for someone else to start talking, but no one did. Suddenly we heard someone coming in the garage. Finally something to do. The one who got to the car first helps the client.
And off course I wasn't the first there, I didn't bother trying to win, I never won. So when I saw everyone running towards the car I stayed in place and waited until they needed my help.
~~Sean's POV~~
I won, Finally something to do.
It was a Honda S2000 with a face of a girl spraypainted on the hood. A girl got out of the car. And it was her face that was painted on the hood.
"Hi, I heard this is the best garage in town," she said
"You heard right what's the problem with your car?" I replied
"Nothing really, I just heard you had the best mechanic when it comes to modding a car" she asked, she seemed a bit nervous, why would she be nervous.
"Yeah, you race?" I asked knowing the answer very well. Her whole attitude screamed streetracing and her appearance did as well.
"Yeah, but I need this car to get faster." She pointed towards her car.
"You said that like you have more cars" I commented
"Yeah I got another one, but that one's fine"
"It will take a while 'cause Jesse is a little busy right now. But you can park your car here and I will drive you wherever you need to go" I said
"Ehm alright, do you know a good place to eat," She said: "I haven't had a good lunch in days."
"Sure, just let me tell the others about what you want with your car and then we'll go" I said already walking to the garage.
"And tell them, I don't care what it will cost me, just do whatever they can to make it run faster."
After telling Dom what was up. I told Jesse when he was done trying to find any information on the booster that he needs to check the car out and find the proper mods for it.
"And Dom, if you need me I'll be at the store" I yelled while walking towards the girl
Dom didn't say anything, he just nodded while looking at the Honda.
"What kind off car do you drive?" She said looking around to see which one would be my car
"That Nissan Skyline that's parked over there" I pointed
She walked immediately towards the car and stood still at the left side of the car
"So you know how skylines work, do you? Most people want to get to the passenger-seat on the right side." I said surprised
"Yeah my brother had one so I know about the left-hand shifting and shit."
We got in the car and drove off.
"We're doing this all wrong, you know that" I said
"What do you mean?"
"You're in my car I'm drivin' you where you wanna go. The guys are in the garage working on your car, and we don't even know your name."
"Yeah, that's not a smart way of doing business is it, are you sure you are the best garage in town?"
"Yeah, it's just that we are having a bad day. Our 'boss' his car has been stolen and we are trying to find the one who did it. But that's not your problem it's ours. Ehm what's your name?"
"Malika"
"Malika...?"
"Malika Sanchez"
"Nice to meet you Malika Sanchez"
~~Leon's POV~~
"Where did Sean go?"
"He left with our client, they're probably at the store now." Brian said
"He had a chance to do something and he just left? Weird." I replied
"Our client is a girl." Brian said in return
"She had to be a hot girl or even I wouldn't have done such a thing" I laughed
"You can see for yourself she has her own face sprayed on the hood of the car."
Really, let me see, where is the car?
"In front of the garage"
"I'll go check it out then"
"You do that."
~~Sean's POV~~
We walked into the store and Mia and Sarah were just sitting and chatting like girls always do. At least girls like Mia. I don't see Letty chatting and gossiping with other girls
"Can we get something to eat here or are you two to busy." I shouted
"Don't you have manners" Malika was definitely shocked by my comment
"No, he doesn't, but why should he be different from the other guys" Mia replied
"Oh you know each other?" Malika said confused
"Yeah, we're one big happy family and you are?"
"I'm Malika, you don't look like each other how come you are family."
"We all live in the same house, that's about it. Some of our team are blood- related with others of our team but that's not what we mean when we talk about our family" Mia explained
"That's Sarah my sister and that's Mia my sister-in-law to be." I said
"Now what would you like to eat?" Sarah said.
"I shouldn't order a tuna-sandwich if I were you." I whispered to Malika
"I heard that" Mia glared at me
"So?"
"You insulted my cooking"
"Don't give me that, you know the tuna here is crappy. So there is no need to be offended"
Sarah just sat in a corner laughing and even Malika had to laugh at the face Mia made. She clearly had nothing to say to my explanation. I had to make it up with her.
"I am so sorry Mia, could you please give us some cheese-omelets, that is one of the many things you are great at. My sweet, sweet sister-in-law to be."
"I'll give you your food if you quit sucking up to me."
"Deal."
I turned to Malika
"Malika, tell me,"
"What?"
"Why do you have your own face on the hood of your car, are you so full of yourself?"
"Why would you think that? The car belonged to my brother and he painted it this way. He left one day and never came back and I figured I could have this car."
"Why did he leave?" Sarah asked
"Our father used to beat us and my brother couldn't handle it so he left. He promised to come back for me but a week after he left I did too and we never saw each other again."
"Maybe Jesse can track down your brother, I mean if you still want to find him." Mia said
"Yes off course, but would he do that for me" Malika asked hopefully
"Let's go and ask him" I said
After we finished our omelets we headed back to the garage
~@~~@~~@~ BACK IN THE GARAGE
"Are you sure Leon?" Jesse asked
~~Letty's POV~~
Mia came running in the room, I jumped up from the bed and within seconds everybody else came in.
"What happened" Mia yelled
"Nothing I was just sleeping and Dom dropped a glass" I said
"Dom what's going on dawg?" Leon said

"Dom, wake up, man what are you staring at?" Brian asked
And again no response, he just kept staring out of the window. Vince came up to him and grabbed Dom by his shoulders and turned him around. He now woke up from his catatonic stage and immediately pushed Vince away from him and ran out of the room.
"MY CAR, somebody stole MY CAR!!" he yelled
Dom ran downstairs and everybody followed except for me. How much I wanted to run downstairs to see what's going on. I can't leave the room naked.
