A/N: I'm sad. Not a lot of people are reviewing, but I know that there are a few people who like my story so okay. That's enough encouragement for me to write, but a few extra people's comments wouldn't help. Lol. On to the story.
"Hi Dom."
He stared at the girl in front of him in shock. It was Doug. His mouth was hanging open so wide that it almost touched the concrete.
"What's the matter Dom? You can't handle the fact that the new QUEEN of the streets is your baby sister. Don't forget the past Dom, it always comes back to haunt you. Especially yo bald big ass."
Some of the people in the crowd laughed, while others were too shocked to say anything. One person was Mia. She couldn't say anything. She was calming Letty down about Dom losing the race when she saw her. Doug was back. She ran towards her with tears in her eyes. "Doug?"
Doug took her shades off and said, "Yea Mia, it's me."
Doug hoped that Mia didn't turn on the waterworks. If Mia cried, then she would cry, and that wouldn't be very intimidating for the new Queen of the Streets. She heard noise on her scanner. She motioned for Jaz to check it out. Jaz said triple 6 which was their code for cops. She walked up to Mia and kissed her cheek. She leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'll come see you at Brian's at 11 tomorrow morning. Leave now" Mia nodded before walking off.
"As for the rest of you, if you don't wanna get locked up, I suggest you leave now. Remember you represent me when you drive, so don't try nothing stupid." After a cheer from the crowd, everyone scattered except Dom. He just stood frozen in the middle of the streets, watching the Skyline drive out of sight. Letty had to pull the car up next to him and yell from the driver's seat to get his attention. Dom got in and Letty sped off. "Are you okay Dom?"
"She's back."
Doug pulled into the garage of her house and cut her car off. She saw Marcus's motorcycle in the corner so she figured she was home. She sat quiet in the car with Jaz for a minute before saying, "Here's a little token of my appreciation." She counted out a $1,000 from her winnings. "I'll put the other nine in your account. So tell me how many people raced tonight?"
"4"
"Good girl. Put it up so Marcus don't take it. And don't tell him about the eclipse that's in Amy's driveway. You're too young to be driving, and he would kill me. Don't spend it all in one place."
Jaz winked at her before getting out of the car. She went into her room and closed the door. She put the money n a floorboard that Doug had loosened for her in her closet. She kept a little for herself. Doug always taught her to keep a stash for a rainy day, cuz you never know when you may need it. Jaz put on one of her brother's old football jerseys before going to sleep. She already knew that tomorrow was going to be a busy day.
Doug woke up the next morning to find Marcus still asleep next to her. She got up and took a shower. As the hot water massaged her body she allowed her thoughts to wander to what she would tell Mia. What would she say? How was she going to explain the reason she didn't call like she said? Or how come she came back? She finished showering and got out. She put one of her many Dickie's jump suit and pulled her hair out of her ponytail. She left Jaz and Marcus a note before leaving the house. She decided to take Marcus's bike. Riding on his bike always seemed to calm her nerves.
She pulled in front of Brian's apartment and got off. It was time and she was so scared she could barely walk. It took her at least ten minutes to get up the door. She suddenly wished that she brought Marcus along with her. But she knew that him being there wouldn't make the situation any better. She had to face Mia on her own. So with a slight hesitation she opened the door.
Mai jumped when she heard the knock on the door. She ran to answer it and looked at Doug. "Hey. Come in."
Doug walked in before sitting on the couch. Mia sat down across from her and said, "I know you're scared to tell me why you didn't call, but I don't care. Just talk to me."
"Mia, I'm sorry I didn't call like I said, but I knew that if I heard your voice, I would give in and come home. Marcus tried to make me call, but I wouldn't. I knew you were worried, but I figured you knew that I was okay."
"I did. Now stop apologizing and tell me what's been going on."
"I lived in Myrtle Beach with Marcus and Jaz. He ran the motorcycle races."
"How did you get so damn good with cars?"
"A combination of Letty and Brian."
"I knew it all along. I'm going to kill him."
"Yeah, yeah."
"What's going on between you and Marcus?"
Doug laughed before lifting her left hand so Doug could see.
"Oh my God!!!! Is this engagement?"
"No, we've been married for about a year."
"I can't believe it."
"Speaking of which. What's with you and Brian?"
"I'm still waiting, but Letty and Dom finally got married."
"When?"
"After Letty had Victoria."
"I have a niece?"
"Yea, she just turned three and she looks just like mom."
"I am going to spoil her rotten."
"No, cuz you'll take my job. And tell Jaz that I said she did good with Dom."
Doug laughed before saying, "She learned from the best, who learned from the best."
Mia laughed. "So tell me more about Myrtle Beach."
"I love it. You have to come to our apartment some time. It's right on the beach. I run the streets. Queen of Myrtle Beach and L.A."
"You got a crew?"
"A nice sized one, but you should see Marcus's from the bikes. It's huge!!!"
"You know, Dom would love to hear about it."
"I'm not ready to talk to him yet."
"It's okay, but I really want you, Jaz and Mike to come to Sunday dinner. You can't break tradition."
"I'll think about it. Okay?"
"Kay."
Doug got up and started heading towards the door. "I missed you Mia."
"I did too."
Doug hugged her sister before leaving the apartment, feeling better than she did in the past couple of days.
