Untimely Revenge

"Rome! What is your deal?" Kendall asked as she curled her hair, getting ready to brave the torrential rain falls LA was having. Roman sat on the chair beside her make up table and frowned, staring at her without a reply.

"Nothin." He got up and headed for the door, stopping at it to rethink telling her. He shook his head and opened it, finding Brian there.

"I was just about to knock." Brian grinned, making Roman walk past him without a word. "What's with him?" Brian asked, coming in Kendall's uniquely dressed room. She shrugged. The two were getting ready to go see Letty, something they had to do together.

"I couldn't tell you what crawled up his ass and died." Kendall put he finishing touches on her hair and looked in the mirror for a once over. She grabbed her lip gloss and shut off the curling iron." Let's go." She said, tired of trying to guess what was on people's minds. It never worked for her to begin with so she lost the drive to try to figure it out.

"You're kinda cranky too." Brian noted and followed, almost getting the door slammed in his face. If it hadn't been for his quick hand and thinking, Kendall would have succeeded hitting his face with that slam. "DAmnnn." He sighed, taking the stairs in silence.

"Ok, so we made it past them this time." Kendall breathed a sigh of relief. The two always had to make excuses as to why they were disappearing together and even Kendall and Brian were running out of answers. The FBI was the much closer to getting to Tran, thanks to Kendal's help but still not enough to pull off the rest of the operation.

"You are really irritated it seems like we're going back out, aren't you?'' Brian asked as Kendall drove through the downpour LA was experiencing.

"Excuse me?" She asked, slamming on the breaks. The car started to hydroplane and they skidded to the bridge, both gripping the dash board for dear life. They went over the not so high bridge and the car made a gurgle, then shook as it died.

"Way to go." Brian nodded, his irritating grin on his face as Kendall sat there, trying to take in that her baby, her car was now totaled. It seemed to be at least,. She tried to get out and couldn't.

"Great, he door is jammed. You try your side." She leaned her head back in frustration. Brian tried, not having any luck either. "Great, we're stuck." She sighed. She sat watching the small creek flow rather rapidly and was glad that water hadn't come rushing it. "You ok?" She asked as Brian rubbed his arms.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. You got your cell?" He asked, again trying the door.

"Nope. Remember last week you told me not to bring it when we say Letty." Kendall rolled her eyes ,more mad at herself for listening to him in the first place than at his advice.

"Glad to know you're not always willing out and crazy and can listen." Brian leaned opposite way of her, knowing she would hit him. Sure enough, she gave him a good punch. "I'm just saying, you always have been freaking crazy. It must be the water in Barstow you and Rome drank." Brian teased. He had moved there in his early high school years and had known most people from Barstow even longer.

"Shut that shit up. I am not crazy." She objected, though smiling a mischievous smile.

"Right. Ok, maybe jumpin go n cars in the middle of the night, go undercover on my own, get thrown in jail I don't know how many times…" Brian was interrupted by his own laughter as he held his stomach and reminisced.

"Hardy har har. Enough. How long you think we'll be stuck here?" Kendall asked, chewing on her lip as she did when deep in thought or nervous.

"Until someone sees us. Seeing as how its' almost night, I am bettin in the morning." Brian turned serious, keeping his eyes on the water that was rushing past them.

"Great. Now the crew can think we're out tougher all night." Kendall laid her head on the steering wheel and gave a groan.

"That shit really bothers you, don't it?" Brian asked, checking his watch. Not only would the crew wonder where they were at, the FBI as well as Letty would be assuming some more awful had happened to them.

"Uh, hello, yes." Kendall almost slapped him upside the head, then thought better of it and pulled her hand back.

"You are so violent." Brian mused, shaking his head and grinning.

"I find nothing funny about any of this." Kendall sighed. Then found herself yawning. She had been so busy living his two lives that she had barely managed to have time to get the rest her body expected of her.

"I know you don't. I think that makes it that much more funny." Brian admitted, staring at her in all seriousness then cracked up laughing. She glared at him. He looked at her and held out his arms in a questioning kind of way. "You were the one who got all pissy and ran us off the road, ya know." He said, taking a drink of his 20 ounce Coke he had brought.

"I know this, thanks." Kendall smiled sarcastically.

"Seriously, Dall, I think since we got time I need to talk to you." Brian said, almost an hour alter as they sat in the muddy bank of the creek that lay hidden under the bridge.

"What else did I do?" She asked, trying to sound nice and not so attitudish. She was starting to shiver and get clod chills and she tried to focus on the water to keep her mind off of it. Brian handed her his jacket and she shook her head, refusing it.

"Take the damned thing. I have more clothes on than you do." Brian shoved it at her again and again she refused. "I mean it, Kendall. Take it." He ordered, putting it around her shoulders, not taking her 'no' for an answer this time.

"Fine, o pushy one. SO what are we going to do? There has to be a way to get outta this mess." Kendall pushed on her door again, putting all her weight she could. It was a vain effort, as the door stayed completely closed, not budging even an inch.

"Sit here till the cows come home I guess.' Brian pretended to have a drawl and twang to his voice.

"Not funny." She rolled her eyes but laughed. Brian noticed the water was getting deeper and hoped his observation was unnoticeable to Kendall. He hated to set her off, even if not related to him, the girl had poor reaction and even poorer skills to act on.

"You sure you didn't give me my change?" A guy asked in the DT shop where Roman was working the register.

"I know I gave it to you, Homie." Roman sighed, just wanting the guy to leave so he could close up shop and close down the register. Dominic looked up from the car he was under. He could tell Roman's defensive tone and it had set warning bells of f in his head. He walked over the counter where the register sat and the two guys stood, eyeing each other.

"I have cameras. Let me go take a look." Dominic sighed, stepping in between he two. The guy nodded and Roman busied himself with clearing out the charge machine and running tapes. He came out, nodding at Roman to let him know the guy had been right.

"There ya go." Roman said, his voice low and his tone undetectable, his price not letting him say sorry or admit he was wrong.

"You knew all along. " The sixty something man shook his head, as in an 'I told you so' voice. "that 's all your kind is good for. Keep and takin what isn't yours." he added, shaking his head.

"I mean, I had to make sure your memory still works." Roman shot back, pissed at the guy and his racism. The guy snatched his money and glared at Roman.

"Dominic, you need to hire help that is gonna do better for you, son." The guy said as he walked out.

"What was that all about?" Dominic asked, his head down, trying to give Roman a chance before yelling at him.

"Did you not hear the mother fucker?" Roman asked, slamming the teal on the counter in anger.

"I heard him. What I haven't heard is how you're acting in all the time Arizona brought you here. What gives?" Dominic asked, opening the mini fridge and tossing him a corona. Roman locked the doors and was silent, still keeping his business to keep him from loosing it.

"Nothin, man. I'm cool." Roman said, not wanting to sit down not wanting to keep working. He just felt restless.

"Bullshit. I know bullshit better than I know cars. Now talk to me or I'm a haft a fir you for poor customer service.'" Dominic grinned, though a prat of him was serous. His businessmen was always top priory.

"I don't know what's botherin me, to be honest." Roman sat down, his hands in his head.

"I think you and I both know.' Dominic said as he reached to couldn't the teal. Roman looked up at him and narrowed his eyes.

"And what might that be?" Roman asked, tying to think of what Dominic could possibly come up with for an answer.

"You know as well as I do that it's my cousin and all the time she's spending with Brian." Dominic said, deciding to just lay it out there, no sugar coat to it. Roman laughed deeply and out loud at this assumption.

"You got it all wrong, Homie. No way." Roman disagreed till laying. He continued to roll with laughter until Dominic looked at him.

"You done yet?" He asked, getting a nod from Roman. He looked at his employee. "Rome, time is short. If you like her, you should just tell her." Dominic sighed, staring off into space for a second, overwhelmed with memories of Letty. "I learned that when I lost my Letty. I was an ass to her and if I could take it all back, I would. Don't let her go if you do like her, Roman." Dominic sighed, getting up to keep himself busy as he tried to hold back tears and hide his lonely misery.

"Brian's in the way even if I did feel that way, Cuz." Roman said, sighing, hating to admit Dominic was right.

"Fuck Brian. In no way will he get back with her. It'll be over my dead body." Dominic grimaced. He had hurt Mia enough and he could see the hurt in Kendal's eyes as well, even I fit was partly her fault. Hell, even in f it was all of her fault, if didn't matter. Brian knew how Dominic felt on that issue.

"You and Brian are still cool, right?" Roman asked, looking up in shocked. He would of never expected to hear those words out of Dominic's mouth.

"Yeah, but he knows how he stands when it comes to Mia and Kendall." Dominic nodded, making sure that Roman got the whole deal that Brian was not ever going to be with Kendall.

"SO, if that's the case, what do you suggest we do? Or have you not notice d what I been seeing?" Roman asked, folding his arms.

"Yeah, doesn't mean I like it. I was going to talk o them both tonight.'" Dominic admitted, stretching as he counted the money. It had been one of the busier days today and he was completely wore out. The rain didn't help his somberness or his annoyed anger at Brian.

"Well, they out right now more than likely doin god knows what." Roman grumbled, his heart torn. He wanted to leave well enough alone and let Kendall do as she pleased. But the to her part, the part that was making him so angry, wanted her to be with him. He knew they had chemistry but he was knew friends who have relationships take risks. He was battling with himself over and over and today was the last straw. Kendall was so damn preoccupied she barely spoke to him anymore.
