Wanted: Sound

It was half past one in the afternoon when Lilly strolled silently into the kitchen to prepare lunch. So far, the day had gone by as normal as any other Sunday within the blonde's life since she and her brother had moved to Miami.

She had gotten up early in the morning to attend to her ballet course at nine o'clock. To the girl, dancing had felt like a burden being taken from her shoulders. She had just lost herself into the dance, the music, the rhythmof her body and she had been able to forget about everything occupying her mind at the moment. The grounding, the fight with Brian, the upcoming trial...everything had seemed so clear to her because she had not thought at all, only felt and within the emotions flowing through her veins, she had found relief.

I'm pathetic, Lilly smiled while searching for the ingrediants she needed for lunch, but it's true. In a way, I could let go. No worries, no stress, just peace. I always laughed at Teresa when she told me that a Jeté was able to make a dancer feel like she was flying...that it would be like an ultimate experience, but now, I understand. I understand better than I ever thought I would.

The young woman took a medium sized pot out of a cupboard to her left and put it into the sink before turning on the water. There was only the sound of the running water filling the air, except maybe for a random noise every now and then, which was at a lower volume because of the window still closed.

Although, on Sundays, it's usually a lot more silent than during the week, Lilly turned off the jet of hot water, then, she lifted up the three quarter filled pot only to set it on the stove. Having activated it, she was already searching for another pot, so that she could begin to make a sauce. Today, Lilly had decided, they would have pasta with a tasty cream sauce. Once she had found a proper pot, she put it on the stove as well before sitting down on her chair and leaning back.

I should call Mouse later on to tell him that I'm good, now, she sighed, last night, I really was a wreck. I gotta thank him somehow. Hmm, what could I possibly do to make up for this? Of course, he'd never blame me for anything like this, but still...the night could've been more fun, if I'd been alright. Oh well, I'm still not completely alright, I guess, at least I wasn't before the course started. Marisa took one look at me and immediately asked me what had happened. Apparently, last night, she was at the races together with Alex and noticed Brian 'behaving strangely' like she referred to it, the teenager smiled, yeah, my mommy's always been one to acknowledge whether somebody's okay or not.

Lilly had met Marisa for the first time at Tej's garage due to her being Alex' girlfriend. She had at once taken a liking in the Hispanic, because the woman was a rather motherly type. She had a beautiful warm smile, a peaceful slender face, large liquid brown eyes with a certain sparkle in them that always gave Lilly a feeling of reassurance and acceptance. The twenty-four-year-old also had two and a half feet long, dark brown wavy hair, which seemed almost black, and she usually dressed in very sexy dresses or skirts without looking cheap; they did not cling tightly to her body in order to attract man, nonetheless, only by hearing her musicial laughter, she often received appreciative stares or smiles...much to Alex' dislike.

Then, after this first meeting, they had seen each other again at The Club, where Marisa was also participating in the ballet and sometimes in the Salsa or Tango courses, yet, she visited only the latter together with Alex. Of course, Lilly had asked Marisa not to tell anybody that she was dancing and after having explained to the brunette why without hesitating, the woman had told her that her secret would be safe with her. It had, for some reason, not felt bizarre to Lilly to talk to this stranger about her past and that moment, the blonde had realized that Marisa was special.

One day, when Sugar had decided it was time for Lilly to go out with her into the clubs, they had gone shopping together with some of Sugar's friends she had wanted the girl to meet. Among those friends had been Marisa, who happened to be, just like Sugar, a Diamond Dog. Ever since that afternoon, Lilly had gotten to know the Hispanic way better, she had even spent some nights at Alex' and Marisa's already. Although having other female friends like Sugar, V and Lola, the girl felt the most drawn to Marisa whenever she sought a listener or good advice. Eventually, she had also begun to call Marisa Mommy whereas the older woman referred to her either as her baby or Puppy.

A grin spreat over Lilly's face as she stood up from the chair to open a package of noodles to let them dive into the water that was now boiling. Somehow, she always grinned when thinking about her mommy.

But, unfortunately, Lilly rolled her eyes while lowering the heat of the stove, not everybody's sharing my point of view...like Suki, for example.

Till the date, Lilly was not capable of understanding, why the Asian held a grudge against Marisa. Naturally, Suki would never insult or snap at the other woman, yet, this was merely a consequence of her refusing to talk to the Hispanic more than was necessary. She might exchange an off-handed greeting, but that would be everything. Lilly had figured out that Suki felt threatened by Risa, due to her drawing lots of attention to herself, even though she did not do it on purpose, it just happened by the way people were attracted to her lovely and warm appearance.

However, Suki can just not stand being out-shown by anybody, not even by her own friends, the blonde shook her head no, hell, I'm having fun when I see one of my sisters enjoying some attention, but then again, I don't think Suki and her friends are as close as we are.

Then, the blonde started to pour the ingredients for the sauce into the other pot before taking out a little knife to slice some field mushrooms.

After lunch, I'll have to leave for Tej's to spray Diego's and come back right away, once I'm done. That's gonna take me about an hour or maybe two, I guess, so I'll return at, hmmm, four or half past four. Of course, I'll have to stay the rest of the day within my room, so that I can avoid Brian, who's probably leaving tonight for dinner and races. Well, if I'm lucky, I'll manage to watch a movie even though TV is actually forbidden, right now. Grounding really requires a great sense for organizing everything!

While slicing the mushrooms, the girl noticed how quiet it actually was within the kitchen, thus, the switched on the radio.

"Radio 21, the best from the eighties", she immediately heard a female voice. Although Lilly preferred Black and Hip Hop, she had to accept that Brian did not know what to do with these types of music. To him, the only real music was Rock or Metal but the teenager could cope, after all, she had grown up with his music and she really thought that it was great, yet, she just...

I've just got a different taste in music than he does. Oh well, whenever we're in the same room, I'll listen to whatever station he picks out, still, when I'm alone...I don't feel like listening to Hip Hop right now, though. Dancing ballet to Ghettomusick by Outkast and then driving with The Black Album by Jay-Z blasting out of the subs will do enough till I'm at work.I so gotta get that new album by Outkast...I think, I'll have to use the computer Tej's put up in the lounge and do some serious downloading...once this fucking grounding is over and I got enough time for it!

The young woman rolled her eyes, before going back to her task, in the meantime, she began to sing along with the radio. I Was Made for Lovin' You by KISS.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Brian lay on his back in the middle of his king size bed, arms folded behind his head, covers down to his hips to let his bare chest feel the soft breeze coming in through the opened window. He was facing the ceiling, busy thinking about the current situation.

Last night, Roman had not been the only one to question Lilly's grounding. No, except for his best friend, there had been Suki, Shane, the entire crew of Tej's Garage and, of course, the big boss himself. Lately, Brian had started to have an eye on Tej because the other man seemed to have gained more influence on Lilly than it was good for him. If Tej did anything to undergo the blonde's authority in this case of grounding, Brian could not guarante that he would live. It already bothered him that Lilly was spending so much time with Tej anyways. He feared his baby might get involved into business that should not be hers and with Tej, risks were high in regard of his connections to many people in Miami and elsewhere.

I'll have to wait, the man sighed, wait to see how this works out. If Parker tries anything, he's gonna be a dead man, but I still gotta find a way to make my baby spend more time with me than she does now. Okay, grounding her may not be the best solution to show her, how much I actually love her, yet, I just had to do this. I'll ask her, if she wants to watch 2Fast 2Furious together with me tomorrow. Hell, yeah, it's against the grounding, but it's only this one evening, afterwards, she's right back at being grounded. I gotta admit, though, I'm pretty much using her status of restricted freedom against her. She'll be willing to come with me only to get some fresh air, not because of wanting to spend time with me...not after yesterday evening, anyways. I so fucked this up! I wonder what she's thinking of me, now. She probably hates me for having brought up bad memories...my baby, my lil' one, I love you, I could never hurt you, don't you know that? Alright, so maybe I wanna go to the movies with her because I feel guilty! I just want my baby back, back the way she was before Verone...Verone. The trial is next week, then, I hope it's all over for us, we'll just go back to normal, he snorted at that thought.

Normal. What's normal to us? Let's just think about Jack's and...what was his name...Chico? Yeah, Chico. So, Jack's and Chico's accident.

In his mind, Brian reviewed the events of last night. The strange thing was that there had been two accidents. One would think Chico and Jack had crashed into each other, however, they had been in different groups. The young man felt a shudder running down his spine as he saw the picture of Chico's car going up in flames in front of his inner eye. He had been four groups ahead of Chico, who had survived by pure luck and was now lying in hospital. The car had not even crashed into anything, it had just gone up in flames as Chico had entered the home stretch. Jack had been in Brian's group, though, together with Alex and a guy named Pablo. This time, Brian had to admit, he had really been forced to fight for his victory. Alex had kept up with him the entire time, their fenders only seperated by inches. At the beginning, Pablo had been close to them, nonetheless, his car had soon reached its limits, so it had been Brian, Alex and SlapJack. After one of the last corners, Jack had no longer been at the leading duo's side, yet, they had not worried due to them having been too busy winning.

SlapJack's car had not been toasted like Chico's, however, he had lost control somehow and collided first into a street lamp and as the car had turned as a consequence of the impact, he had also hit a phone booth.

Two bad accidents in one night, Brian narrowed his eyes, usually, we don't have more than one serious accident per month and now this. Strange, very strange. That demands investigations, not only by us but, of course, the cops will be informed and do some investigations on their own, so we gotta be even more careful, especially me. I don't think it would be very impressive on the youth welfare department, if they found out about me racing. Talking about bad influence on poor innocent Lilly. Though, it really is my fault that she races, so, no offense there. I wonder how she's gonna react to Shane's new girl. Hell, that chick has been over him all night, never paid any attention to him before, nevertheless, now that he's got a ride...and he lost his first race. And he was pissed at everybody afterwards. So pissed that he left...with his air-head. That boy's too ambitious, way too competitive for his own good. Alright with me, as long as he doesn't make this my or my baby's problem.

Brian craned his neck to look at his alarm clock. It was 1:52 p.m.. He had woken up when having heard his baby roaming through a cupboard in order to find a pot. This had been about half an hour ago, thus, the man figured out that lunch would be ready soon and he wanted to shower, so he might as well leave his bed now.

Once he had gotten up, Brian strolled slowly out of his room and stopped at the kitchen entrance to watch his baby sister stirring the contents of one pot. The little table was already set. Her voice caught him, as she sang along with the radio.

Now she walks through the door,

With her head held high,

Just for a moment, I caught her eye,

As a big limousine pulled slowly

Out of Alice's drive.

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,

Or where she's gonna go,

I guess she's got her reasons,

But I just don't want to know,

'Cos for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice.

Alice, who the fuck is Alice

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,

To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

Alice, who the fuck is Alice

Brian chuckled lightly, gaining his younger sibling's attention. She eyed him quickly, then, she turned back to the pots on the stove.

"Five minutes", she told him with indifference.

"I'll just shower. Won't last longer than five", he answered and waited a couple of seconds for her to respond, however, she made no attempts to do so, therefore, he continued his way into the bathroom, while Lilly finished preparing lunch.

Just try not to think about what happened yesterday evening, the girl said to herself, he was merely mad at you, he wouldn't have hit you. He ain't Dad. And he was sorry. Really sorry. I shouldn't let him feel guilty. He didn't intend to scare the shit outta me, that's just not like Brian. It was an accident, if it hadn't been for the bottle, then, I wouldn't have freaked out.

After having taken down the pots from the stove, Lilly put them on the table and went into the hall. There, the blonde grabbed her keys, which she had laid on the sideboard, before leaving the apartment to get the newspaper from downstairs. Due to Brian showering, she did not suppose him to have heard her.

Although, even if he heard me, she shrugged, I'm just fetching the paper, so there's no reason to argue. It's not like I'm having any fun here.

Once she had returned into their home, the girl noticed with a certain satisfaction that her older brother had indeed not come out of the bathroom, yet, so, she closed the door silently behind her back before entering the kitchen.

When the sound of running water stopped, Lilly had already sat down at the table, an open bottle of carbonated water with cherry taste in front of her, beginning to skip through the paper in search of anything interesting. Usually, politics, culture or sports wakened her curiosity, still, today, a special of three pages about the upcoming car fair gained her attention. Apparently, it had caused the entire city to be in some kind of fever; even at The Club, Lilly had heard bits of conversations about the show, some people had also walked up to her and asked her whether or not she would be working at Tej's Garage and about Tej's prices for this and that.

Lilly shook her head lightly no. Right now, at work, everything seemed to be about this car fair, especially because of the auto contest. Naturally, every racer wanted to show his or her ride off at that fair, thus, they had ordered Tej's services as soon as they had received the news. However, Lilly saw lots of overtime coming up within the next five weeks.

So much for enjoying my vacation, well, I guess, if I do some begging, Tej may give me a day off every now and then once this damn show's over. Fortunately, he ain't one of those to accept every order he gets. He's always having an eye on his watch, so to speak. He would never accept an order, if he knew that we would have to work ourselves to death to get it done in time. Still, yesterday, he mentioned something about him wanting to employ some co-workers till the fair to help us. Hopefully, if he really does it, he ain't gonna take some morons and only the guys who really wanna do the job, she rolled her eyes, who know how to do the job. Let's just remember this one jock, Arthuro, oh my fucking God! Next to no knowledge about engines or anything besides, but, of course, he knew everything better than we did. And then, he smokes one in the storage room where we keep the NOS bottles...lucky me I only gotta see him at the races now. Tej literally kicked that guy out of his garage. It was really fun watching, though.

An evil grin managed to escape the teenager's lips, yet, it stayed unnoticed by Brian as he strolled into the kitchen, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. There was still some water dripping from his hair onto his shoulders and the floor.

He took his seat opposite to his sister, whose head was hidden behind the newspaper – or a part of the newspaper. As the man looked down at his plate, he saw the major part of the paper lying there.

So, she allows me to read something, too, he thought, how generous.

They ate, aside from the radio, in silence, a situation not really unsual for both of them, but the tension in the air let the siblings feel rather uncomfortable. Lilly hardly touched her food, whereas Brian could empty his plate while failing to concentrate on just one article in the paper.

Eventually, the girl rose from her chair and started to clear the table. She filled the remains of their lunch into some Tupperware® boxes, knowing that, at times, Brian liked to heat it up in the evening as dinner or also as lunch during the week, when his sister was at work.

The man watched her how she put the dishes and pots into the sink, then, she turned on the water.

I might as well help her, he shrugged innerly to himself before standing up. They kept their towels on a little plastic hook adjacent to the door, so that Brian checked the proper fit of the towel wrapped around his hips, as he took a step forwards to reach the hook and to grab one of the towels.

Even though knowing that his younger sister did not seem to have any problems with nudity – a fact alerting him very much – he was not as casual about it as she appeared to be, thus, Brian always made sure that everything was covered. What he detested most about Lilly's attitude was that she actually dared teasing him, whenever his lower regions reacted completely normally on certain...occasions. For example, in the morning; he had just gotten up, walked into the kitchen to see what his baby had been doing there and, after having asked him what he had wanted for breakfast, she had had the nerve to say the sentence, "Oh, hey Woody, nice of you to join us. What you wanna have for breakfast?"

Brian could not imagine from where Lilly had gotten this...this being so direct! Other girls would turn red and try to look anywhere but at that spot!

She ain't normal, he smiled lightly while drying up a pot, she's never been anything else, so I don't have to worry, I guess.

Doing the dishes required just as much concentration as eating lunch...neither of them even made a sound apart from breathing, therefore, they tried to end this situation by drying up quickly.

After having taken care of everything, Lilly, finally, spoke.

"I'ma go to Tej's then", she did not look at Brian, though, "I promised Diego to spray his Acura, today. It'll take me about...an hour ot two, I think. I'm gonna come straight back after I finished, okay?"

The blonde girl did not even wait for her brother to answer, she had already left the kitchen when Brian sighed.

"Okay",he mumbled rather to himself before deciding that it was time to get dressed.

He had just entered his room as Lilly came out of hers again, now wearing her old, worn-out sneakers which would fall apart soon. In her right hand, she held her work bag, in the other, her keys.

"And Brian?" She did not bother to turn around while opening the apartment door. "Dry the floor, will you?" With that, she closed the door from the outside, leaving the man alone.

Sighing again, Brian looked at the floor in the hall. Apparently, he had left a little trail of water behind him after he had come out of the shower, however, the true reason why he was sighing, was that his sister had actually called him by his name, Brian, she never did this except for when she was mad at

him or very serious about something. In this case, the man thought, it might be both at the same time and he did not like either.

"So",he took a deep breath, "get dressed, then, clean the floor, then, try to keep yourself busy till baby is back, then, when she's back, pray to God for mercy."

The radio was still switched on. The sounds of Papa, Don't Preach by Madonna ran through the apartment.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lilly left the building and was immediately greeted by the hot light of the sun burning on her skin. In front of the house, the air was always a strange mixture of the scent of the ocean and the sand, still, the teenager preferred their little place at the beach to any other in the city and to a girl that had been brought up in Barstow and later in Los Angeles, the heat did not really matter.

Although, she thought while looking skywards, they said it should rain this night and the others have already told me that summer was the time when it rained most, so, she shrugged, let's wait and see.

The girl turned on her heel and walked into the direction of Tej's Garage, where she would meet Diego and perhaps also some of the other crew members. They considered it luck that, on Sundays, Tej closed the garage down completely, so there would be no party going on in the back yard, just the crew and their cars.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Yes, boss, she's just left the building",a man in his mid-twenties let his eyes follow the girl. He had positioned himself about a hundred feet away from the apartment building and leant casually against a street lamp on the other side of the road. His lose clothes did not show any particular physical details but his rather high built. He wore sneakers, wide stone-washed jeans, a lose black shirt, sunglasses and a baseball hat. His tan skin indicated a Spanish descent, as well as the fact that he was speaking Spanish to the person on the other side of the line. The short sleeves of his shirt revealed that he worked out; his arms were toned and his hands appeared as though he could develop a strong grip. Now, he was holding a cell phone in his left hand.

"She goes to Tej's Garage, I think", he chuckled, "must be a workaholic...pardon?...No, Sir, she's wearing normal clothes, the type she always puts on for work...the brother?...No, boss, she's alone...yes, she's definitely going to work, she's crossing the street, now...yes, boss, I'll wait and call, if anything happens...alright, goodbye."

The man pressed a key and the connection was ended.

Before putting his mobile phone back into the pocket of his jeans, though, he regarded the shell for a minute. The shell was black and on the back of the phone, it showed the head of a white wolf. However, the image was disturbed by a deep crack running from the left upper corner down over the left eye of the animal.

"Still gotta get a new one",the man said to himself.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Finally done.

THANKS for reading!
