Chapter 38

The phone rang in the house grandma Georgia answered it.

"Hello?" "Hi, grandma it's me Dominic." "Oh, how are you? Are you ok?" Georgia smiled at hearing her grandsons voice. "I'm ok, how about you and Mia?" She shook her head in disappointment. "Oh Dominic, I'm ok but Mia isn't." "Why? What's wrong?" he sounded worried. "Well remember Jeremy. He died five months ago and well Mia is in depression. She goes out a lot but she has been doing drugs. I just found out yesterday. I don't know what to do. I tried talking to her, I tried taking her to a psychologist or a therapist, I thought that maybe they could help her out of her depression, but she refused and ran away. But she came back this morning." "Alright, Um grandma I'm coming out of prison next month. Maybe you can bring Mia back to L.A and I'll see what I can do." "Ok, I'll see you later then. Bye." "Bye." She hung up the phone and headed upstairs.

She opened the door to Mia's room. She was lying down on the floor looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes where not moving and her breathing was ragged. White foam began to spill out of her mouth. Georgia screamed at the site of her granddaughter. She quickly grabbed the phone and dialed 911.

The ambulance took Mia to the hospital, Georgia sat in the waiting room. She saw Jeremy's mother walk in and went over to her. They hugged and then sat down next to each other.

"What happened?" Lila asked. "I don't know, I just found her in her room like that. I don't know, the doctors haven't told me anything yet." "Don't worry she will be fine." The doctor walked over to Georgia and knelt down in front of her. "Hi Mrs. Toretto, I'm doctor Anderson, I'm taking care of Mia. What happened is that she poisoned herself with drugs. We found traces of cocaine and heroin in her blood system. We don't know if she took them at the same time or if one was taken hours or days before and then the other. Anyway, the two combined poisoned her. Right now she is having her stomach pumped and we are doing everything possible to stabilize her. I do suggest that she be looked at by a psychiatric, we have one here if you want the psychiatric to look at her when she wakes up." Georgia had been crying for Mia, she looked up at the doctor and gave permission for a psychiatric to talk to Mia.

Hours later Georgia was finally able to see Mia. "Hi baby." Mia looked at her grandma with anger and hate in her eyes. "What are you doing here? You bitch why you bring me here for? So they can put me in some hospital for crazy people!?" Mia yelled at Georgia which made Georgia cry. "No honey, if I hadn't found you would be dead now. Mia you're going to get some help for your drug problem. Which means that you're not coming home with me. You're staying here and then you'll be moved to a clinic where you can be helped. Dominic called and said that he comes out next month. I told him that you where doing drugs. I'm going to go now. I'll see you when the doctor says it's ok." Georgia walked away and went back home.

Dominic couldn't believe what he had heard. His baby sister doing drugs, but how? Why? He didn't understand why she would go that low instead of asking for help. Then he put himself in her shoes. He knew that if Letty died he would go crazy. He wouldn't do drugs but he would drink himself to oblivion. He felt a great sadness for her. He hated not been able to help her, to be there for her.

"Mr. Toretto you have a phone call." Dominic got up and followed the guard back to her office. He took the phone, "Hello?" "Dominic it's grandma. I don't know how to tell you this. Mia is in the hospital." Dominic's eyes got wide, "Why? Is she ok? What happened?" "Dominic she poisoned herself with drugs. She took cocaine and heroine. Um, they told me that there is a treatment center that can help her with her problems. I am going to admit her there. She will get the help that she needs and she'll be better. They told me that she will be there for six to eight months. I just wanted to tell you." Dominic didn't know if he should be angry or sad by all this. His feelings where confusing him. "Alright grandma, do what you have to do. I'll support you 100." "Ok thanks bye." "Bye." He hung up the phone and just stood there for a moment thinking. Then he got an idea.

"Can I please make a call?" He asked the guard. She looked at him and then at his file. "You already made a call today. You can only make one call per week." Dominic ran his hand through his shaved head feeling the stubble that had grown. "Please, I need to talk to my lawyer." The guard looked at him for a long moment. "Ok, go ahead use the phone." Dominic smiled at her, "Thank you so much." He grabbed the phone and dialed his lawyers number.

"Hello?" "Hey, it's me Dominic Toretto." "Ah yes. How can I help you?" Dominic took a deep breath and slowly let it out before responding, "I want to know if you can come. I need to talk to you." "Alright, I'll go over tomorrow." "Ok thanks bye." Dominic hung up and thanked the guard one more time. He walked back to his cell and began to think about what he would tell his lawyer tomorrow.

Letty walked the streets of L.A by herself, she thought about everything that had happened in the last year and this year. She thought mainly about the baby she had lost. She had found out that she had had a baby girl and decided on naming her Elisa Karina Toretto. By now her baby would have been one year old, she wondered what she would have looked like, who she would have looked like. She wondered if she would have had Dom's eyes or attitude or if she would be like her.

A car pulled up next to her, she knew right away who it was. He rolled down the window and looked up at her, "Get in, we need to talk." she opened the door and got in with him. They drove off going no where in particular. "So what do you wanna talk 'bout?" "I have a job for you. It's simple or at least it should be for someone like you. I need you to boost some cars for me. Here's the list, I want them at the warehouse tonight. You can get help from whoever you want, but be warned if you go to the cops or anyone about this you'll be seeing you father sooner then you thought." He smirked. She looked at the list and frowned. "Where exactly am I suppose to get some of these cars?" "I don't know sweetheart. That's not my job that is yours so figure it out before midnight tonight. This is your stop." He stopped the car in front of the park. She got out and walked the length between her and the boys.

"Hey where you been at?" Jesse asked her. "I went walking around. I have a job I need to do for the guy that loaned me the money. Only I need help." Leon looked at her for a moment, "What is the job about?" Letty thought about it for a moment should she actually tell them and get them involved, but she needed the help. "Well, I have to boost some cars. He gave me a list and said to have them at his warehouse before midnight tonight." Jesse looked at the list while Leon thought about what was happening. "How are we going to get these cars?" Jesse asked looking at Letty then cutting his eyes to Leon. "I was thinking the rich part of L.A," Letty said. "Ok we can do this." Leon turned to look at Letty and Jesse.

They began a plan, Leon and Letty would try to take the car while Jesse was on the look out. They planed everything perfectly, they planed what they would say if they got caught and what they would do if they had to run. They agreed in going in different directions and then meeting up at a small café near the park. They got their things together and started walking in search of the cars.

They began the process of stealing the cars and by midnight all the cars where at the warehouse. Leon, Jesse and Letty couldn't believe how easy it had been, they also couldn't believe that they didn't get caught.

"I see you got all the cars, very good I like your work. Now who are they?" he asked Letty. "That's Leon and Jesse, guys meet Johnny Tran and Lance Tran."
