Letty had been working at Tej's Garage for about three weeks since she came to Miami and she was loving everything about it. Jersey was still being a problem. Though Letty and Jersey had clicked because of their backgrounds, Jersey despised Letty for some reason she couldn't explain. Letty was working on a Taurus one day when someone yelled into the garage.
"YO! JetPipe! You in here chica?" yelled the female voice and Letty turned to see a young woman with brunette hair, pulled into a ponytail, looking back at her "Hey, lady-"
"My name's Letty, thanks." Letty said, wiping her hands on a rag.
"Diego. You're welcome but I'm not sure for what." Diego said, "You seen JetPipe? We got some things to discuss before I beat her ass."
"She's out back-"
"DI!" yelled Jersey, seeing Diego standing in the garage.
"What's up, JetPipe?" Diego asked as Jersey grabbed her in a hug.
"Not much." Jersey said as she and Diego walked out of the garage.
"Who's the new chica? Letty?" Diego asked, walking past some chicks in bikinis and sitting on a beach chair.
"She came from LA three weeks ago. Told me about my mother and father." Jersey said, her voice dripping disdain.
"I take it you no like Letty." Diego said, cocking her head, smirking.
"It's just-I don't know the fuck why but I feel like I know her-or I should, I mean. We're so alike it's scary-which is one of the reasons I don't like her."
"Oh-you have a list?" Diego asked jokingly.
"Di, shut up, girl! The boardwalk has ears, you know." Jersey said. Diego screamed as someone poked her sides and jumped up, turning angrily.
"What the HELL do you think you're doin'?" Diego asked a shocked Rome. Jersey sighed, getting up and moving between Diego and Rome.
"Chill, Di. That's his way of saying hello." she explained.
"Only other freaks understand it." Rome said, grinning.
"You callin' me a freak?" Diego asked.
"You understand it?" Rome asked.
"Damn it! I hate talking myself into corners." she said.
"Name's Roman. You can call me Rome." he said, sticking a hand out to shake her hand.
"You apart of N.A.O.T.B.?" Diego asked.
"Come again?"
"New Ass On The Block."
"Diego-be nice. He's been here six months. Come on-let's go show you off to everybody else." Jersey said, grabbing Diego's arm and pulling her away before she and Rome got into a scuffle. "Diego, this is Suki Suzuki Miyazaki Sugawara Kinshita." Jersey said and Suki looked up.
"Don't ask. My parents were crazy." Suki said, sticking a hand out to Diego. "Nice to meetcha, Di. Just call me Suki."
"Right. Nice to meetcha, Suki. Now where's Whiz Kid?" Diego asked, looking around.
"Day off."
"Damn." said Diego. Suddenly, Diego saw a familiar back and said "Well, if it ain't Tej Parker actin' like a hustler."
Tej turned and yelled "Di! Where you been girl? Life ain't been the same witout ya!" before running over and giving her a noogie.
"Tej-Tej- I swear to whatever diety is up in the sky if you do not get your hands off me I will kick your ass!" Diego yelled, laughing.
"You couldn't kick my ass if your life depended on it!" Tej scoffed.
"Oh really? What was that little scuffle in our senior year between you and me that landed you with a black eye, broken arm and bruises everywhere while I just had a scratch on my cheek? What do you call that?"
Tej glared at Diego.
"That's what I thought. I can beat your ass anytime, anyplace." she said.
"Wanna go at it right now? I grew up since then, home girl-got me some muscle," he beamed.
"Aight, think fast!" She exclaimed, stomping on his foot and grabbing him in a headlock. She gave him a monkey scrub while Jersey guffawed at her antics. Letty wandered out of the garage to see what all the noise was and laughed along with Rome and Suki.
"Alright, alright, I give in!" Yelled Tej.
Diego immediately let go and straightened herself out.
"Told ya," she boasted.
"Yeah, yeah," he laughed.
"So what's gone down since I been away?" Diego asked.
"This and that," Tej shrugged.
"Well ya got yourself some new friends it seems," she replied, indicating the three that were now approaching.
"Yep. They're cool. I trust 'em."
"I should hope so. I bet ya been playin' 'em for all they're worth," she said.
"You bet. These fools like to lose money."
"Naw, we just know you're a sour loser and you'd kick us outta our homes if you lost," Rome added, grinning at Tej.
"Hey-nice to meet you Diego, but I gotta get back to work on that Taurus." Letty said, pointing over her shoulder at the garage before turning and heading back in, totally disregarded by Jersey, Diego, Tej and, at the moment, Rome. Suki saw her stop at the door and turn, leaning on the doorframe, a look of longing on her face.
"What's this about you bein' here six months?" Diego asked, crossing her arms and looking Roman up and down.
"Like what you see?" Rome asked and Diego's eyes snapped back to his face.
"No-just measuring you up. You know-in case I need to beat your ass." Diego grinned. "And don't answer a question with a question-ticks me the hell off. Now-answer my question."
"I came here fourteen years ago with my boy, Brian, and met these whackjobs-" Rome began, jerking a thumb towards Tej and Suki, "-We did a job for the pigs-"
At the word pigs, Diego froze up and glared at Tej.
"He's clean, Di." Jersey said, putting a hand on her shoulder, and Diego relaxed.
"ANYWAY-I went for a very long vacation down to Mexico, then LA. And other various places."
"You took a thirteen and a half year vacation?" Diego asked in disbelief.
"What?" Rome asked, shrugging, "I was enjoying myself."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Letty watched as Diego, Rome, Jersey, Tej and Suki stood and talked. She saw Diego look Rome up and down and felt a twinge of anger and jealousy.
'Don't do this to yourself, Let. That's what got you into this fucking mess in the first place. And technically you aren't even together.' Letty thought to herself, leaning against the doorframe. She noticed Suki watching her and their eyes connected for a moment before Letty turned away into the garage.
