"Back the fuck off Erik!" Letty warned while thrusting both hands hard against his chest shoving him back. She was trying to get into her fire red 2001 Honda Civic when a tall Irish Italian with a nasty attitude and tattoos to match drove up blocking her driveway.

Furrowing his brow he stood up straight and scowled, "Stop bein' a lil bitch and tell where she is!" He wasn't in the mood for this shit, he wanted to know where the fuck Letty was hiding her.

She bawled her fists and spread her legs shoulder length a part getting into a fighting stance. "Don't you get it? She ain't here and if she was, she wouldn't want your scrawny ass anyway." Letty drawled sarcastically while her face twisted into a defiant grin. She knew what he was capable of. Hell she had seen him go crazy on some punks at one the Race Wars.

"I thought you were smarter then this Letty.." He trailed off while smoothing his spiked black hair with a tattooed hand, "If you ain't gonna give me what's rightfully mine, then I'll make sure Toretto knows what happens when you fuck with Erik Santiago."

Without warning a loud bang shot out into the air, echoing against the cool night breeze.

Letty's eyes grew wide in disbelief as she stood there motionless. Every fiber of her being screamed out as the bullet ripped through her flesh and embedded itself into her ribcage. Her lungs squeezed shut as the ground seemed to slip from under her, causing her to collapse onto the cold pavement. Dizzy from shock she just gazed up at Erik.

"Be sure to give Dominic my regards."

Letty watched as he slipped back into his 1968 Navy Blue Fire Bird and burned out. Leaving her alone as crimson streams continued to ooze from her chest. There was nothing she could do as she choked for sweet breath that continued to evade her. Letty was to die, alone.. On her driveway.

'This ain't right.. I'm not supposed to go out like this.. Not like this..' She cried to herself and struggled to open her car door. Only to leave a smear of blood along the paint job. "Damn it Dom… Please be home." She managed to open the door and reached her cell. With as much energy as she could summon Letty dialed his number and waited… The constant ringing seemed to last for an eternity as she fell back against the car waiting for a miracle.

"Hello?" A sleepy voice answered.

"Mia.. It's Letty.." She groaned as the pain shot through her spine in a wave of agony.

Mia woke up immediately, "Letty? What's wrong?"

"I'm on my driveway.. I've been shot.. Fuck this hurts!" She cursed through clenched teeth. Letty clutched her bleeding chest, "I don't think I'm going to last long."

"Hang on babe, Vince is on his way." Mia reassured as Vince was already out the door. "Stay on the phone with me. Letty who shot you?"

Letty sat up and let out a painful growl as her body began to pulse with cold chills, "Erik.. Santiago. That fucker had the balls to shoot me!" She babbled half in and out of consciousness, "Erik came here looking for her.. But he didn't find out.." Letty trailed off as her vision began to dance with spots.

"Letty? Letty stay with me God Damn it!" Mia began to panic, "Don't you die on me!"

"Fuck Mia, chill out. I ain't going anywhere.." Letty chimed sarcastically trying to make light of things. "I can see that piece of shit car of his coming up the road." She announced as a blur of lights came tearing ass her way.

"Letty don't get quiet on me! Keep talking." Mia was scared out of her mind, she didn't want to lose Letty.

She let out a soft gurgling laugh as she spit out some blood, "That's the first time I've ever heard someone tell me that." Letty mused as darkness began to fill her thoughts.. "Shit Mia.. Where's Dom?"

"He's not here.. Otherwise he would be there right now." Mia replied trying to hide the fear in her words.

'Go figure.. I wouldn't want him to see me like this.' Letty told herself and smirked, "Mia I want you to know I love you very much. Tell the guys I love them too and that I'll always be there to watch over their grease monkey asses."

That was all she needed to hear and lost it, "Damn it Letty, hold on. You can't do this to us, we need you!" Mia sobbed trying to keep herself from completely breaking.

But Letty couldn't hear her… She couldn't see Vince screeching to a stop and jumping out of his car.. She was already gone. By the time Vince had reached her, her heart pumped its last beat, her lungs took their last breath and then all was silent. She would never hear Mia's sobs or Vince's howls of pure agony at the sight of her dead body. No one would ever know where she hid her… Letty swore she would protect her secret and take it to the grave..

Letty kept her word..
