Questioning

They found Elena in the back room, the one that was never used as anything other than a place to put things they didn't want to throw out but didn't know where to put. She was standing by the window, using the light of the setting sun to study the photo she had found. And Mia couldn't stop her tisk of distaste because it was the only picture of Letty she had left. The only image that she had and she didn't like the idea of Dom's current lover looking at the woman who would always be the love of his life.

"What was she like?" Elena asked not taking her eyes off of the photo of a younger Dom sitting at a table with a dark haired girl seated comfortably in his lap. Both of them were dressed in black, both of them were smiling and they looked so in love that it all but stole her breath away.

"You should be asking my brother that, not me." The words weren't just clipped, there was also an edge to them that suddenly made it obvious that, whatever else she might be, Mia was very definitely her brother's sister.

"He won't… that is… she's not something he'll talk to me about." Once or twice she'd asked, he'd called out her name in his sleep, called out in a voice rough with desperation. So she'd ask, but his face would shut down and he'd turn away from her, so she'd stopped asking.

"She was everything." Mia said it simply, but there was a hard look in her normally soft brown eyes, a look that said she didn't want to be talking to Elena about Letty. That she didn't want to talk to anyone about Letty. "She was my sister."

"Please." It was an almost inaudible whisper, the slender blonde could see she was hurting them Brian and Mia with her line of questioning, but she had to know. She needed to know who this girl had been. Letty, who Dom called out for in his sleep when he was held by dreams she couldn't wake him from.

"She was wild and fun, and a little misunderstood." Brian said before Mia could find the words to say something she'd just end up regretting. Sometimes it was easy for people to forget that Dom wasn't the only Toretto who had loved and lost Letty. "And under all that attitude she was kinda sweet. She was defiant ya know? She was just one of those girls, called it how she saw it and she wouldn't roll over for anyone. Not even Dom."

"Especially not Dom. They used to have these blazing rows…" Mia trailed off, and while the look on her face was sad it was also slightly happy as if the memory of those fights was a good one. "She was the only one he'd ever back down from."

"You know, in L.A. they used to call Dom 'King of the streets', because he never lost a race. But it was an inside joke that while he might rule the streets everyone knew Letty ruled him." And Brian couldn't help the smile as he remembered his reaction the first time someone had said that to him, he laughed at the notion that the dark haired girl with oil stains on her clothes had any sort of power someone like Dominic Toretto. But she did.

"She was his match." Mia said, and then tugged on Brian's arm, pulling him with her towards the door, indicating that she wanted to leave. "Put that back when you're done."

The blonde continued to stand there as the day faded into night. The Dom in the photo, the one with smiling eyes and his arm around his Letty, wasn't the man she knew. That person had probably died the same time that his love had. It was no wonder that he hadn't wanted to talk to her about this girl. Her mother had once told her that she should be careful about what questions she asked as she could well end up with answers she wouldn't like.

She really should have learned to listen.


(A/N) Cus I know if I were Elena I'd sure as hell have questions about who Letty was and also I can't see her being a subject that Dom would be willing to discus. Not with Elena and probably not with anyone. What did you all think of the trailer?
