Waking up

I woke up to the sound of beeping, the steady kind, that and there was a soft voice in the room, most likely a nurse's then the soft voice of Yaretzi, I smiled hearing her. I opened my eyes then I was blinded by the light. I coughed a bit as I sat up, my chest burned, as I did it. Yaretzi rushed over to me tears in her normally calm brown eyes. The nurse ran over trying to get me to lay down.

"back off." I told her my voice hoarse and dry. Finally she did and left the room.

"Thank god we thought we lost you." She cried looking at me as the tears fell, I smiled but as the memory of how I got here crashed back to me my heart jumped.

"How's Letty?" I asked looking at her coughing a little bit. Yaretzi smiled at me before leaning back and wiping her eyes.

"She has a concussion and a broken arm, some cuts and burses. She's been hiding out everyone thinks you two are dead, thanks to Brian." She told me, I sighed calming down she was okay, I'm not sure I could handle losing her again. Mia walked in the room minutes later. Her eyes were relived as she rushed over to me, Letty was a few feet behind her, her right arm was in a sling and cuts were over her face. She smiled at me as I waved at them.

"Hey." I greeted as Mia lightly gave me a hug, Letty sat at the end of my bed looking out the window. She looked distracted like something had happened.

"How long have I been out?" I asked looking at Mia, she rubbed her eyes.

"A week, the bullet almost hit your heart they thought you were a goner, you were luckily Letty was there." Mia told me and I heard Letty scoff at that. I looked over at her as she smiled sadly.

"You took a bullet meant for me, I was luckily you were there." She told me I smiled at her shaking my head at her.

"It's what I do." I told them, Yaretzi laughed before the room became quite.

"There's bad news your apartment was ran sacked your car gone, not to mention if they find out your alive." Mia started but I nodded cutting her off.

"I know, I'm a walking target." I mumbled, Letty nodded we both were. The fact we weren't dead was going to get back to Braga and his man, and when it did, I was dead.

"When can I leave?" I asked looking at them, Letty laughed as she stood up facing me.

"They said after you can walk, but there worried about that ticker of yours you almost died on the table twice." Letty told me bluntly.

"Ha they can't kill me." I joked earning a laugh from all the women in the room, I was tired of being a target everyone knew it.

"I have to go but call me." Yaretzi told me before giving me a hug and leaving.

"latter." I called as she left. The doctor came in and yelled at me for moving, I yelled back with the help of Letty and Mia. After an hour of fighting I checked myself out. I had stitches in the upper part of my chest and I knew it would scar. The fact was I didn't care, I was lucky to be alive and now, I wanted to take down Braga for the fucker he was. Mia drove as I sat in back of her car, they had given my pills, I refused to take them. Letty looked back at me, she had a question in her eyes.

"Why did you do that back there?" I looked at her like she was crazy, I would have given my life to save her.

"Because that's what I do." I told her smiling, she shook her head as we reached Mia's house, it was the first time I had been homeless in a long time. Letty helped me out as I coughed a little more, the doctor said my lungs had been beat up a little.

"So where do I sleep?" I joked as we made our way up the stairs.

"The floor." Letty joked, I laughed a bit my chest hurt again, but I could handle that much. Mai was up front she walked in and gasped. I looked up from the last step; Letty went still next to me before I saw what she did. I pushed her in a before me wobbling a bit but standing on my own. I walked in and closed the door just as Letty jumped to Dom who was standing in the front room. Mia had tears in her eyes as she walked over giving him a hug as well. I smiled leaning on the wall I hug sounded like more pain to me. I watched as Mia backed off as Letty gave Dom a tearful kiss.

"I thought you two were dead." Dom mumbled looking up at me then back at Letty. Letty smiled sadly as she looked back at me, I shook my head no. She was going to tell him I almost was, but by the look in his eyes he could tell, Letty was beaten pretty bad, and I looked like I crawled out of a whole.

"They almost were." Mia mumbled looking over at me, I sighed as I made my way to a chair and sat down, I was tired my chest throbbed and my head was getting that way two.

"Are you okay?" Mia asked, I nodded taking a deep breath, there was that look in Dom's eye it was the look of vengeance. Dom and Letty sat down as Mia went to the kitchen, Letty filled him in on what had happened, he was upset but more at himself. They agreed to call Brian tomorrow. Mia brought me a glass of water that I took, I looked at it before drinking it before I had fallen asleep.

Others

Letty looked over at Jiya she had passed out, Mia was worried about her as she looked around. Letty looked back at Dom with loving eyes, sure she was upset about him leaving her but at the same time she got it. He looked down at her then over at Jiya, she had been left behind to clean up the mess.

"How did you two manage to get away?" Dom asked again, Letty went over it again, until Jiya had pulled the corner and taking the shot for her. Dom looked back up at the sleeping girl that had been left clueless and alone. He knew they were in trouble if they were to be alive, he made his choice, you don't mess with his family and Fenix did he was a dead man when he found him.

"How did you get back?" Letty finally asked as Mia sat down next to Jiya.

"I called a friend, have you heard from Leon or Vince?" Dom asked Letty shook her head no, no one had, ever since Jessie died they were gone.

"Things were bad after you left I'm not surprised." Mia stated leaning back into the chair, she looked over at him sweetly.

The chase

When I woke up from my spot on the couch everyone was gone and there was a note on the coffee table, it was from Mia.

Jiya,

Dom and Letty went out to take care of something, I'm not sure what but they left. I'm at the shop and seeing your hurt and playing dead for a while, watch TV sleep eat. Don't call anyone other than me, remember your dead.

Love ya Mia.

I laughed at the note, I got it I was dead, but that did raise some questions, how the hell would I get out of my mess when I came back from the dead. I still owed Roy money that and I had a nice patch job on my chest that gave me away. It was setting in my life as I knew it was over again, that's twice in my life, only this time I think it might cost me my life. I shook my head as I searched for some pain killers, Being shot was on my list of not fun things. I found some taking them with water before heading up to take a shower, I smelt like hospitals, I didn't like that so much. I jumped in the shower after looking at the wound, it was bad it was going to scare and leave a permanent mark, it was very unattractive. The door down stairs slammed and I was guessing it was Letty, and judging from her footsteps she was less than happy.

"JIYA!" Her voice rang out from downstairs and I knew she was mad at Dom.

"IN THE SHOWER!" I called back regretting my loudness as the pain kicked up, that fucker he was going to get it for shooting me. I could hear her coming up the stairs and swing open the bathroom door, she looked less than happy as she sat on the lid of the toilet seat.

"What is it Letty?" I asked looking over at her from the sheen curtain, she was upset and looking at me.

"He's going after Braga with Brian. Mia has been seeing him on the side. OH and to top it off Roy found out your alive. He has it going around calling you a traitor and a whore, then there's that guy Cory who seems to be looking for you." Letty snapped and I wondered where she had heard all this.

"Wait Cory?" I asked worry hitting me fuck they thought I had told, I was dead now.

"Yes Cory, Fuck Jiya Brian had to tell us all this, what the hell did you get mixed in with when we left?" Letty asked her eyes searching mine.

"Like I said things happened, I'll take care of it." I told her getting out and getting towel, she shook her head.

"Hell no I almost lost you once, it's not happening again. I'm helping you." She stated and I sighed.

"No your not, you need to worry about Dom, not me. I think I know who's been causing all the problems. Let me handle this mess while you take care of Dom. But if it will make you feel any better I'll wait until this heals." I offered and she let out a sigh.

"Jiya are you insane?" Letty asked as I walked out heading to Mia's room to steal some of her clothes.

"Yes." I answered as I walked in, she fell on Mia's bed and I knew she was not going to give up on this.

"Jiya this is deep, Cory and Roy are two of the top, the top and they both want you in a bad way. That's a list no one wants to be on." Letty told me what I already knew.

"Yeah I know I had managed to stay off it until now, I know them I know how to talk to them, and seeing as I'm already a marked woman might as well take a shot, that and if I'm luckily it will be a killing shot this time." I mumbled looking at her as I found some jeans and a tank top.

"Jiya." Letty tied but I cut her off.

"No deal now let's go check on Mia. I have a bad feeling." I stated looking over at Letty who for once agreed with me.

More Trouble

"YOU DID WHAT!" Brian yelled looking over at Bindi who was smiling, she had not done that it was putting everything at risk.

"Oh I did, I told Roy that Jiya is alive and well, it pulls the heat off me. Why do you care She's just another race rat for Braga. I mean who's going to miss her." She stated looking at him like he was a dumb ass.

"She's an undercover." Brian protested and she laughed.

"Oh please Brian that girl, I know her wrap. She fucked Roy, she is his bitch. The girl plays deadly games and always find a way to get herself out of them, she's a whore Brian and the world would be better without her type. Hell and those two girls she hangs out with, one is in love with a criminal and the others related to him. The same one you let go, Brian you're not for this job. Now let me play the cards and win while you just play with your whores." Bindi added before walking out of his office leaving a very mad Brain in a chair. Oh he knew all hell was going to hit the streets, that and he had to race tonight, just so he could get back at Braga. Take that fucker down, while Fenix he was going to get it in another way. He reached for his phone and dialed Mia.

"Hey what's up?" Mia asked as she answered the phone, they had managed to get on a good page for now.

"Where is Letty and Jiya?" He asked and there was a pause.

"Here. Why what's up?" Mia questioned and he knew what he needed to do.

"Tell them I'll meet them at your house in an hour we need to talk." He stated.

"Alright, can I come?" She asked knowing then they would know she knew about all of this.

"Yeah I think you'll be needed there." Brain answered.
