Untimely Revenge

"What the hell?' Dominic's voice was low, his eyes still on his girlfriend. Kendall shook her head, her throat tight and she felt weak. He examined Letty's hands and looked at his cousin. "She didn't do it, Kendall." He shook his head stubbornly.

"She wouldn't have." Kendall reassured him, her face and eyes down, unable to look at Letty's body. It pained her even more to look into Dominic's dark, pained eyes.

"I'm sorry for your loss." The nurse told the two after announcing herself and basically telling then their time was up. Kendall had made it back to the group and lacking a few feet from being close to any of them, she hit the floor, passing out.

"Shit!" Roman jumped up. A nearby nurse gave him a cold washcloth and he held her head in his hands, fanning and wiping her forehead. "Come on, Dall. Wake up." He whispered. She opened her sad discouraged eyes slowly and looked at him. He pulled her into a hug as they sat on the floor, her in his arms.

"Vince, the crew's in your hands for awhile. Till,. I get back.' Dominic sighed, handing over his two way he usually kept on him on race nights.

"Dom! Don't...don't leave..." Brian ran up to his friend as Dominic quickly headed for the door, keys in hand.

'Don't, Brian! Don't tell em what to do." He ordered, his voice first angry then it began to grow soft as he rubbed his bald head. "Brian, I gotta.. think. I can't....she's ...dead, brain. Just watch Kendall for me." He now had both hands on his head in stress. Brain stared him down, looking for a sign he could be trusted not to do anything foolish. He nodded after a minute of silence.

"Call me, Dom. For anything. If you get tired, need a ride, whatever, man, call me. "Brian offered, seeing his friend look completely exasperated as he talked. He decided to shut up and let him go now.

"Yeah, I guess. You cal me if any trouble comes up or if you find out something..." Dominic ordered, leaving without a word further or waiting for Brian's promise. Brian swallowed and walked up to the group, closest to Vince.

"Listen, here, Golden Boy. You need to step off. This is my crew when Dom's not around. Step off." Vince smirked, pushing him.

"Vince! Not now." Brian shook his head, knowing they were on highs of traumatic adrenaline. Leon put a hand on Vince's back and stepped between the tow.

"Letty just died and you guys are still at it??! STOP the bullshit!" Leon frowned, making his words sting like a slap in the face to not only the two who were about to fight, but the whole group.

"Where's Dom?" Kendall asked, her eyes wide as she looked around, fighting Roman's strong grip to get up.

"Alone time. He needed some." Brian answered as Kendall scrambled to get up. She did, and holding her head, stumbled again.

"She dint' do it. She was murdered." She stated dadzingly as the group halted all their movements and strafed at her.

"Dall, Babygirl, you need some sleep." Tej patted her shoulder. She shrugged him off in anger and glared at the group.

'oh boy." Roman muttered, standing back, knowing what was coming next.

"DON'T' tell me what I need. Don't,, just don't... I don't give a damn what you think." She sucked in her breath, walking outside, stomping as her anger become more and more fiery. She took off down the road, not wanting to be around anyone but her cousin. She had to know if he was okay.

"That flight trait runs in the family." Roman told Brian as they grimly headed for the car. They drove down the deserted road in the am hours, searching for Kendall, not knowing what way she had taken at all.

"Yeah, it's a defense mechanism." Brian nodded as he coasted the street slowly, his eyes scanning the darker areas.

"There's no way." Kendall told herself as she walked numbly wherever her feet were taking her. She remember the first time she met Letty, they day she had been disappointed she want' pregnant and so many other memories rushed her head. She ignored the buzz of the interstate traffic, her mind replaying the night over and over.

"Get in." Dominic ordered after what had been hours of her walking. It had started to rain, Kendall not even noticing. She was soaked and shivering as she came back into reality. She looked at him, expressionless. He reached over and opened the passenger side. She got in, no words spoken. "I keep thinking how Letty would handle it if things were reversed." Dominic said, heading out to the outskirts of town. "She's stronger then me, that's for sure." He noted, followed by more silence,. "It doesn't feel real. It hurts, Kendall. And for once, I'm not sure I can handle this. I'm not as strong as what Letty is.. was." Dominic frowned, shaking his head. He was wanting his cousin to talk, to say anything.

"You are strong." She argued her voice defiant to his confession. She sniffled and wiped her nose. To hear the hurt and defeat in Dominic's voice and now the admittance of weakness was just too much. "Where we goin?" She shifted in the bucket seat as he picked up his speed.

"I don't have a clue. I can't go back to the house right now.' He hung his head, as though in shame. Kendall put her hand on top of his that was on the shift stick. "Mia. We gotta tell Mia.' He turned the car around, without notice and at full force. Kendall felt as though she was going to be sick. She wasn't sure if it was the spin out turn at high speed or the thought of having to tell Mia. Before she could say anything, a cop was behind them, lights and sirens flashing as well as blaring.

"What'd I do now? Whatever it is, I just need to get goin to my sister." Dominic said blantlently to the police officer.

"Toretto, don't think we're not watching you." The cop said, standing tall at Dominic's side of the car as he studied the papers Dominic had willingly handed over, asking not needed.

"What's that mean?" He asked coolly as he stared up at the cop, headlights of the cop car drilling into his eyes, making him squint.

"WE know you're anger. And don't think we have forgotten he last incident." The cop replied, his arms folded, watching Dominic's reaction intently. The words made Dominic flinch, though he pretended to keep his cool.

"Glad you know something, cause you obviously don't' know how to do your job." Dominic replied, his hands drumming on the steering wheel in irritation. He started the cop down as e handed back the drivers' license and registration.

"We'll be in touch, Toretto." The cop promised, then walked back to his car and pulled out.

"Why are cops such asses?" Kendall asked, pulling her hair into a ponytail, her grip hard around the mass of hair that was just drying out slowly.

"Not all of 'em are.' Dominic made Kendall look at him in pure and utter shock. "What" He asked, shrugging as he weaved in and out of traffic.

Name one who isn't." She challenged, her body stiff. Dominic took off his seatbelt as they cruised the long dark highway.

"Brian. Was." He coughed, now staring at the road and trying to ignore her icy stare.

"Not you too." She grumbled, not happy to hear he had even won Dominic's approval. "He's still a cop, Dom. I know he is." She accused.

:"So, and if he is? Maybe he can help us solve Letty's murder.' He sat up, hating the sound of those terrible and harsh words.

"I guess you're right." She sighed, defeated mentally. Mia's collage was hours away and the drive was tense, both thinking and replaying the last night of Letty Rodriguiz's life ."What ya doin?" She asked as Dominic pulled into a gas station adjoined by a trucker 24 hour café.

"You're already skinny enough to waste away. You need to eat, the car needs gas, and I need to take a piss." He shrugged, pulling in.

"I'm not hungry." She objected.

"Go get us some coffee and try to order something to eat. I'll be in after I get the gas." He said with a nod. Kendall sat down, surveying the café part she had ventured into as Dominic stood on the opposite side of the building, filling up the car. A group of obnoxious guys behind her seemed to be celebrating. She grimaced bitterly and tried to focus on the menu to order food for her and her cousin. Then their conversation caught her ears.

"So, his crew is less one, right? You got it done/" The first guy asked,

"Relax, yeah,. Sealed up tight. No worries.' The second voice responded.

'I'm imagining this.' Kendall chided herself, forcing her head to stay on the menu and not look over her shoulder.

"Why one of the females? Why not take out the real race competition?" The second guy asked as he lit up a cigarette. Kendall drummed her fingers nervously now, the conversation really beginning to send chills down her back.

"She was the heart of the main man. By offing her, we put them all in a weakened state and now he'll feel the pain he deserves while we take over the scene again.' The first guy growled, hate in his voice. Kendall, her back to the booth, nonchalantly took out her phone,. She texted Dominic to go tot the convince store to get her some pads and that she was getting coffee to go, the place was unclean. She told him they would stop somewhere else and deal with coffee right now and she'd be out in a minute. She kept her ears open, trying to think logically without ruining what she had planned in mind. Her mind raced, wandering how to contact these guys. If they recognized her, it would be over and her plan could never get started. She stretched and turned around to see if she recognized either of them and was relieved to say she didn't'. She ordered one coffee, knowing it was going to be time to head out soon. Her phone went off, its tone playing "anxiety', making her jump and drop the phone. "great' she thought, 'now I have to face them' she scooted over to get the phone, bending over but was met with a man who had distinct chiseled features.

"Drop something?" He asked with a grin, his eyebrow raised. IT was the first voice that she had heard when her back had been turned.

"Yeah, sorry." She blushed, her cheeks feeling hot. Lucky for her, he took this as her flirting.

"No problem, you form around her?" He asked, making her mind fumble for an answer. Was he asking because he knew her or was it a question of interest?

"No, I'm from Arizona. Name's Kendra." Kendall pulled herself together, turning on the charm and smiling.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl." The guy nodded approvingly. "Can I show you around town sometime?" he asked, his eyes staring into hers.

"That's be cool. Got a phone number?" She asked, scrounging in her purse for the ticket the waitress had dropped off.

"Yeah, just call this number on my business card. I got your bill, Princess." He winked at her.

"Thanks, you're sweet. DO I get a name?" She asked, checking her watch for benefit of trying to leave before Dominic showed up.

Just call me JT." He nodded.

"K, JT, I'll see ya around. You got my cell number if you want to keep that promise of showing me around." Kendall reminded him, handing him her number.

"Just make sure to answer." He waved coolly as she started for the opposite side of the door, not taking any chances of him watching her.

"I wouldn't miss your call for a million dollars." She replied honestly as JT's friend, punched him with a grin. She smiled and waved flirtatiously, knowing she had to be sure he called her. He nodded. Thank goodness Dominic had illegally tinted windows she thought to herself as she bolted for the car.
