Shit! I can't get caught so early in my training. Not when I've worked so hard and given so much to secure a better life. Not now and not ever.
Letty had to think quickly if she wanted to avoid the cops.
Around the time she stopped racing, she headed back to school to get the required credits she needed to start training with LAPD.
She had decided that the best way to start a new part of her life was not only with her child but to secure a life for everyone with clean records.
She had to think quickly if she didn't want to throw all the hard work she got to accomplish up to now.
Letty grabbed her walkie.
"Guys break up and spread out. Don't head home unless you're damn sure that there are no cops tailing your ass, got it?"
Everyone agreed and everyone started to head out at different directions.
Letty started to dodge other racers trying not to hit anyone when she spotted a police squad car right behind her.
Crap! I gotta lose him quick!
Leon came on the walkie.
"Don't worry girl I got your back. Go!"
"Thanks Lee I owe you one."
Leon speed behind her right across making the squad car swerve onto the sidewalk to avoid of a collision with another car.
Letty kept driving looking around to make sure that no one was following her and to make sure she didn't step on enemy territory.
She spotted a pool bar and decided to stop.
I'll chill here for awhile until the heat cools off out here and I'll head home.
She went inside and headed to the bar where she took of her jacket and sat down.
"What can I get you?"
"Corona."
"Alright coming up."
The bartender handed her an uncapped Corona bottle.
"Thanks."
"Hey Jimbo catch you tomorrow?"
"Yeah just make sure you're not late this time huh Bri?"
"Yeah well I won't promise you anything. Take care bro."
"You too."
Letty turned to see Jim and Brian. For a second she thought one of them looked familiar but shrugged it off when Jim turned and saw her.
She raised an eyebrow glaring at him then turned back to the bar where she took another drink of her beer.
Jim felt eyes on him after saying goodbye to Brian Gamble, his partner and friend from SWAT.
He turned his attention towards the bar where Letty was sitting.
That's the same girl from the beach months ago. Why is it that I remember her?
Jim walked up to the bar and sat down next to her.
"It's good to see you again."
Letty looked annoyed.
"Excuse me? Do I know you?"
"Yes, I mean no not really. We met briefly at the beach months ago. I'm Jim Street the owner of the dog that 'attacked' you."
Letty looked at Jim for a minute and then she rose an eyebrow. She remembered
Ah that's why I remembered her. She has those brown soulful eyes that hold so much.
Letty turned back to the bar.
"Another Corona."
She remembered him. It was the same day she got to reflect on her choices. It was the same day she let go of Dom.
"Ah yes Jim Street and his dog. Have you bought a leash for that dog of yours or is he going to attack me again."
Letty turned to face Jim after getting her second beer.
She saw that Jim was grinning.
"I hope so."
Letty smirked getting the implication she put herself in without wanting to.
"Clever Jim but not going to happen."
"What? I didn't say anything else. Besides don't you think I need to know your name first before we head anywhere else."
"We're not headed anywhere else and maybe it's not for you to know my name."
"You know mine."
"True but I didn't ask for it you told me on your own remember?"
She had gained the upper hand and smirked at the fact.
Jim grinned and nodded his head.
Jim leaned in closer getting a closer look at her eyes.
Tough and confident but there's something missing.
Letty feeling uncomfortable turned back to the bar where she took out a few bills and paid for her beers.
She turned back to Jim and leaned in.
"Maybe next time we bump into each other and I feel generous I'll share my name with you."
She grabbed her jacket and headed out the door.
Jim quickly paid his tab and followed her outside.
Letty had reached her car ready to get in when a cop pulled in the parking lot.
Great will I ever dust them off!
Jim walked behind her causing her to bump into him when she had turned.
"Seems like we just bumped into each other again."
Letty was to think quick on her feet again.
She reached up and kissed Jim.
Jim was surprised at first but responded to the kiss immediately.
The kiss was tension, almost forced but it changed into a burning demanding hot kiss.
Letty was the first to come to reality and broke the kiss.
She turned around to see if the patrol car was still around and noticed it wasn't.
She opened her car door wanting to leave immediately.
"Wait you can't just leave without giving your name after what just happened."
"That was a mistake."
"A damn good one!"
Jim had placed his hand on Letty's door making impossible for her to open it.
"Move your hand."
"No. Not until you give me your name."
"Move your hand."
Letty was pleading. The kiss had affected her. No one had kiss her other than Dom and since the day of the last heist she hadn't felt a kiss.
Jim not wanting to let her go kept his hand on the door.
"I want to put a name to those eyes that hold so much. I want to put a name to those lips whose taste is now on mine. I want to put a name to your face. Please?"
Letty forced his hand away from the door and stepped inside her car.
Jim moved aside standing by her car waiting for anything.
Letty turned her car on but did not drive away. Her head was telling her one thing and her gut was telling her another.
Finally Letty looked at Jim.
"Letty."
That was all she said. Barely a whisper but she gave him her name and then pulled away leaving tire marks.
Jim looked at her pulling out of the parking lot.
"Letty."
