Chapter 44
They sat around the dining table looking at each other. "So what do you think we should do guys?" Dominic asked Jesse and Leon. Letty had gone upstairs to rest she was tired of all the events from that day. "I don't know, what does he have against you two?" Leon ask cautiously not wanting to upset the bigger man. "Along time ago before Letty and I got together I dated his sister. I slept with her then we broke up. When I started dating Letty, she decided that she wanted me back. I refused and she went to tell Tran all this bull. Johnny and I got in a fight and Letty hit his cousin with a crowbar which didn't go to well with either of them. Anyway after that I went to jail and you know the rest." Jesse and Leon both looked at him wide eyed. "Do you think that he will actually do something to Let?" Jesse asked nervously. "I don't know. He will if he wants, but if he's smart enough he wont." Someone started knocking on the door, Dominic went to go open up.
"Hey man" Dominic greeted Hector with a hand-hugshake. "Hey ese, how's it going homes. I heard you was out." he smiled. "Yeah I guess word gets around fast. Come in." they walked into the dining room and sat down. "Hector these are Leon and Jesse. Guys this is Hector a friend from high school." they greeted each other. "I came cause I heard you was out and I had to come see for myself, you know what I mean?" Dom nodded. "So what's up with everything around here?" Hector smiled big. "I don't know if baby girl told you, but the racing scene has gotten good." Dominic looked at him confused and Leon and Jesse looked at him with excitement.
"What do you mean?" Jesse asked enthusiastically. Hector eyed him for a moment then sensing trust he answered. "Well you remember how we used to drag back in school. Well now it's better, guys will spend thousands of dollars to trick out their rides man. You'll see this great graphics and the engines and parts are great man. In one night you can win thousands man. You guys should come check it out. There's a race tonight where the vegetable market is held at, it's at 1 in the morning. You coming man?" Dominic thought about it for a moment then looked over at the two men sitting next to him. The excitement played in their eyes. "Yeah will be there." Hector smiled one more time "Aight homes, you can hang out with me and my crew. I just got to tell you, Tran is the one who's running the scene, he's suppose to be the king of the streets. No one seems to be able to beat him, of course now that you're back maybe that'll change." Dominic smiled at the thought of him being king of the streets. "Don't worry we'll be there." Hector got up and Dom walked him to the door.
"Aight guys get ready." Dominic told Jesse and Leon. He walked up the stairs and into his room.
Letty felt someone in the room and quickly woke up. "Dom." she mumbled sleepily. "Yeah baby it's me. Let are you still tired." She looked at him confused. "No why?" Dominic sat down next to her and faced her. "Hector came over a couple of minutes ago. He told me about the racing scene, I told him that I'd go, the boys are going, you wanna come?" Letty sat up and looked at him. She had always loved racing mainly the speed and adrenaline. "Yeah I'll go." Dominic looked at her and smiled softly at her. "Ok get ready babe we leave in an hour." Dominic got into the shower while Letty got up and got dressed.
They all got in Dom's 95 Monte Carlo, a car that his father gave him as his first car. When they got there they couldn't believe what they where seeing. Cars everywhere, they had neon lights on the underbelly of the car, graphics like no other, aftermarket wings, and stereo systems loud enough to give music to all of L.A.
Dominic parked next to Hectors crew and they all got out. They greeted each other and introduced each other. Some guys started to go over to Dom remembering him from High School and greeted him. Girls started to stand next to him, trying to get his attention or at least touch him. Letty saw this and didn't like it one bit. She walked up next to Dom, he immediately wrapped his arm protectively around her seeing as how all the guys were looking at her. All the skanks glared at Letty, some walked off knowing that she was capable of anything while the others stood by waiting for Letty to leave or Dom to move away from her.
"Well well well look who we have here. It's Big Bird and the Sesame Street gang." Johnny laughed. "Oh shut up chopstick." Letty shot back. "Oh I see the little one finally learned to talk. I suggest you shut up before I have to shut that whole in your mouth." Johnny looked at Letty. "Did yo mama have you in a sewer 'cause you smell like one." Letty smiled innocently, Johnny was fuming. Dominic looked at her with a warning to stop. "what do you want Johnny?" Dom finally asked. "Umm, I don't know a lot of things. I got one, a race. What do you say Toretto?" "What's the buy in?" Hector asked. "One night with your girl." Johnny smiled evilly. Dominic's face became red with fury and the vain on his forehead was now popping out. Jesse, Leon, Hector, and Edwin hurried to grab him before he pounded Johnny to the next life. They where to busy paying attention to Dom that they didn't notice when Letty ran passed them putting a hard punch on Johnny's nose, Johnny fell to the floor with Letty on top of him punching him again and again. "What do you take me for!? Your slut sister!?" she yelled at him in anger. Once they noticed what was going on, Dom tried to pull her off of Tran but failed. Finally Leon, Jesse and Dominic where able to pull her off. Johnny got up wiping his clothes and blood off of him. "I suggest you watch her or I'll have to teach her a lesson." "What do you want?" Dominic asked once more.
"I want one race with you Toretto. The buy in is 2g. Are you in or out?"
