Chapter 48

"Come on Letty lets go?" Dom shouted up the stairs. Letty came running down the stairs "ok." they walked out to the car where Jesse and Leon were already waiting. "How long is the ride over there?" Leon asked. "About 2 hours." They were on their way to pick Vince up from Military school.

Once they got there they sat down in the benches and waited for the graduation ceremony to began. Vince walked up and received his diploma, he was happy to see his best friends. Once the ceremony was over Dominic and Letty went to meet him, Leon and Jesse followed behind feeling awkward. Letty and Dom hugged Vince, the three happy to see each other again. They presented Leon and Jesse to Vince and they got along right away. On the drive home Dominic and Letty told him everything that had happened in the last two years.

Vince was finally happy to be back home. No more authority figures to tell him what to do, it was all over. Now real life began for him and his family.

He had heard about Mia and was saddened by what he heard. He never thought that she would do such a thing. It still could not fit into his mind that she was in rehab, it felt like a dream, an illusion, he was afraid to wake up and find that it was all just a dream.

"Hey man, you look a little lost." Letty interrupted his thoughts something he was happy about. Now he knew for sure that it wasn't all a dream, it was reality.

"Hey Let, I was just thinking, you know." Vince looked at her as she nodded in response. "So have you talked to Mia or something?" Vince watched as the young girl pulled herself onto the kitchen counter and sat there. "Nah man, she isn't allowed to have visitation or phone calls." Letty reached over and grabbed an orange then watched Vince silently. "Why?" he questioned after a long moment of silence. "It's part of her rehab or something."

Dominic walked into the kitchen and saw his girlfriend and best friend in there already. "We need to talk." he said simply and walked back into the living room where he sat down next to Leon. Letty and Vince walked in moments later and sat on the sofa. "What's up brotha?" Vince questioned first. "I got a phone call. Johnny told me that Coney was gone. He said that he knew that we had taken her and he wasn't very happy about it." "What do you mean gone?" Letty interrupted him. Dom looked over at her and could see the confusion in her face. "She is gone as in she ran away or something. I doubt it that she ran away Johnny has that place guarded to the fullest. Something is wrong that even Johnny himself doesn't know about. Someone else had to have gotten her out. But who?" "Maybe a friend of hers." Leon put in. "Nah I don't think her friends would have helped her." Jesse thought for a second. "How about a family member?" he fidgeted with the pillow. "Who? They don't have family here, there all in Puerto Rico." Dominic responded softly. "Don't worry Let will find out who it is." Vince reassured her.

Last night

Lance walked into the room that held Coney. He walked up to her, she watched him carefully. He sat next to her and stayed silent for a moment. He took her chin and kissed her forehead lightly. He took off the gag, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him. He took her chin in his fingers and gently kissed her raw lips.

She wasn't sure if she was ok with him kissing her or not. He had changed a lot with her, he treated her differently, lovingly. He wasn't that bad looking, but he had helped in her kidnapping. For that she was confused with her emotions towards him. She felt as though she should be mad at him because he had taken her away and killed her mom. Yet somehow she felt like she liked him almost as if she could spend the rest of her life with this man.

Lace pulled away from her lips missing her instantly. He had never felt this way about someone before. He felt a need to protect her like she was apart of him. Only there was a problem, if Johnny found out about his feelings towards her he was dead. Johnny had always told him not to fall in love, that it only brought problems. Lance knew that it would be worst if he fell in love with someone that was close to Toretto. He looked at her once more and stood up.

"I'm taking you out of here." Coney looked up at Lance with shook. "What?" "I'm taking you somewhere else." he helped her up. "Where to?" She asked as she tried to keep up with him. Ignoring her question he walked fast towards a door at the end of a hallway. Trying hard to get out of the warehouse before Johnny noticed that he was taking Coney with him.

"Um…Lance when we get out of here can I call my sister to tell her that I'm okay?" Lance stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her with a soft smile. "Yeah you can. With one condition. You can't tell her where you are at." Coney nodded. "But I know she'll understand if I talk to her about it." Lance looked at her and held her cheek in his hand. "We'll talk about this later ok? Now lets just try to get out of here." The two walked out the door and got on Lance's motorcycle.
