Stalling

The next few days Letty spent working on Dom's car, normally Mia and I would help but after a while she just wanted to do it herself. Leaving Mia and I to continue working and raking in the cash that went to the car, and bills and any other needed things.

"It's Thursday right?" I asked falling on the couch I was tired I had been running around trying to avoid Roy as much as possible. That and I had to double up on racers to pay all my bills, so knowing what day it was, that was unneeded information until now.

"Yeah, you okay? Looks like you been to hell and back." Mia asked looking up from her book.

"Yeah, just tired. Do you know why Roy is so intent at buying your shop?" I questioned for the third time this week, Mia rolled her eyes and tossed her book at me, I barley dodged it.

"For the millionth time I have no idea, maybe its taking business from him. I don't really care." Mia stated as a greased covered Letty walked in.

"Where's lunch?" She questioned looking at the both of us.

"In the fringe." Mia answered shaking her head at her as she walked by. I smiled at her then jumped when my phone rang. I dug it out of my pocket and flipped it open.

"Hello?" I asked seeing the unknown number.

"Jiya get your ass to the shop NOW!" It was Roy and he was calling on someone else's phone.

"Why what's up?" I asked sitting up and popping my neck. There was some yelling off in the distance followed by a stream of cussing.

"I need you to fix something, now get over here." He demanded. I let out a sigh as more chaos erupted on the other line.

"I'm on my way." I flipped the phone shut before getting up and waving at Mia.

"Be back later, if Roy doesn't kill me." I told her she laughed and waved. I headed out of the house and got in my car, heading over to Roy's shop. Traffic was bad so it took my longer than normal and when I showed up, I wasn't happy with what I saw. Cory was there with some of his crew, he had taken over most of the Asian gangs, and Roy and him never got along. I reluctantly got out and headed over to the two males who were yelling in each other's faces. Roy was pissed and had both fists clenched in rage, Cory looked the same way.

"What the fuck is going on here?" I questioned drawing their attention to me. Roy glared at Cory before speaking.

"This little bastard turned me in. Half of my crew are sitting in jail right now." Roy snapped. Cory growled at him taking a step toward him.

"Why would I do that, you're the one who told, they found my shipment only a few people knew about it." he snapped, I stepped in between both of them planting a hand on each of their chest.

"Calm down, I know both of you, you're not going to nark on each other. It looks like you have a common enemy." I stated both men looked at me before nodding.

"She's right." Cory stated taking a step back I let both my hand s fall and looked at Roy.

"Yeah, but who would do that?" Roy mumbled, then looked at me.

"Any ideas?" The two crowds looked at me as I crossed my arms.

"Nope, but its either someone who wants out of the competition, or a new person in one of your crews." I stated Cory looked at me taking a step forward making me face him.

"What about the new girl you're hanging out with?" He questioned, I narrowed my eyes at him at the suspicion.

"She's family, that and she has no idea about any of this." I snapped anger flooding my body, suspecting me and my family was out of the question.

"Okay just had to ask, Roy we'll talk later." Cory stated before him and his crew turned and left leaving me to face a very angry Roy. I looked over at him, he was still pissed but now he had a motive and his eyes showed it. His crew headed back into the shop and cleaned what little mess was made.

"What started all this?" I questioned as he sat down on the hood of my car.

"Someone getting our people in jail, Jiya I don't know who it is, and I want to know now." He growled at me, I shrugged.

"Better start looking because I have no idea." I told him. He shook his head before crossing his arms.

"I'm losing money Jiya, I need to know if you got Mia to agree yet." He changed topics making me shift my weight.

"I'm working on it, it won't be easy Roy." I told him shaking my head; he stood up then took a step making me look up to meet his eyes.

"Work faster." It was on order I knew I couldn't hold him off for long but I would have to until I found a way out.

"Why don't you worry about finding your worm and I'll work on Mia." I told him smiling, I hoped it worked.

"Fine but I want that shop by the end of next week." He told me darkly before turning and heading back into the shop. I let out a sigh getting back into my car and heading back over to Mia's. Stalling him was harder than I thought it would be, and he would be pissed when I didn't have the answer he wanted.
