Ok so the next couple of chapters go into the movie. Now I'm only writing where Letty was at during the movie, espcially in scene that she didnt come out in. Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy. )
Chapter 58
Thursday night came faster then they thought. No one was in the mood to eat or talk, they all either went to their room or somewhere to be alone and get mentally prepared for the job.
Mia had left to spend the night with a friend she didn't want to know about the heist or think about it for that matter.
Letty was in her room laying down with the fan on. Her stomach felt like there was butterflies in it. At the time she thought it was simple, but as the hours drew nearer she became more nervous about this job. She looked up when the door opened, Dominic walked in.
"You ok?" he asked her. "Yeah I guess." she responded quietly. He walked over to her and sat down next to her on the bed. He began to play with her hair, "Are you sure you're alright?" she turned to look at him and nodded giving him a soft kiss on the lips. "Mmm, I would love to keep doing this, but we need to head out." Dominic told her. They got up and headed downstairs.
Vince was already in the living room waiting for them in quietness. "Jesse, Leon lets go." Dominic shouted down to the basement. The two men walked up the stairs. They headed outside to the cars.
"Letty and Jesse you go with Vince. I'll go with Leon." They drove off to the place where they stashed the Civics. Once there, Jesse went over the plan one more time. "Lets go!" They all got in the cars and followed Dominic, Jesse gave him directions over the phone.
As they approach the trucks Letty got in front of Dominic. Jesse began to prepare, he got all of the things he needed. Letty opened the sunroof for him and Jesse got up. With the spear gun he shot the spear into the windshield, meanwhile Letty pushed the gas paddle pulling the windshield out. Dominic got right in back and Vince shot the other spear gun. He jumped onto the truck holding on to the empty space the windshield left. Once in he shot the trucker with the tranquilizer gun, soon Vince had the truck under control. They where headed into a construction area where Leon was left with no room, he went under the truck. Jesse and Letty looked at the car in shock.
They headed back to the desert and unloaded the truck. Vince went to dump the truck and Dom followed him in Vince's car. Leon, Letty, and Jesse followed behind talking about Leon's little stunt.
At home they where more relived because they had made it out without problems. They celebrated by drinking Corona. Now they just had to wait for the next one.
Later that morning Vince turned on the TV and checked on the news. Sure enough their little stunt was all over the news. 'We have breaking news, this morning a semi-truck was hijacked by three unmarked cars. They where black with green neon coming from under the car. They have no suspects or leads at the moment. There was about one million dollars worth of merchandise in the truck.' the anchor spoke seriously.
Letty and Jesse had walked into the living room to hear everything that was happening. "So they don't know it was us?" Jesse asked anxiously moving his arms as he spoke. "It seems they don't." Letty replied looking at Jesse and then turning to see Dom walking into the living room. Vince explained what they had heard on the news to Dom. "So we're off the hook." Dom said seating down next to Vince. "Yeah brotha." they both smiled.
"So what are we going to do with the merchandise?" Letty asked. "We'll go and sell it down in Mexico." Dominic had finally decided.
The team got ready and headed out to the building where they had stashed everything. They had borrowed a truck from Edwin the day before, where they would pack it up and head down there. It was decided that only Jesse and Dominic would go, it would be too suspicious if everyone else went.
Letty, Jesse and Leon headed back home after loading up the trucks. Mia arrived soon after.
"You guys, it was all over the news." Mia whispered afraid that someone might hear. "But they don't know it was us." "So what!? What if they find out!" Mia gasped in fear. Letty got up walking over to her, she put her hands on Mia's shoulders trying to calm her down. "Don't worry Mi. If they don't know it was us, they aren't going to do anything to us. They don't even have suspects, so calm down." Mia nodded glad that Letty was comforting her.
"So Mi, you going to cook something?" Vince asked with a big smile. Mia frowned her anger rising. "Why don't you cook for yourself! It's time that you grew up Vincent!" she angrily scolded. Vince had no idea why Mia was mad at him. "PMSing?" he laughed. Mia turned and shot him a glare that he had not seen in years. If looks could kill he'd be dead. "Why don't you have your whore give you food!?" with that she walked out of the living room and up to her room.
"What was that about?" Letty asked slowly, astonished at Mia's aggressiveness towards Vince. "I don't know but I'm going to take a shower." Vince stood up. Letty and Leon looked at him with shock. "What!? It's the sign of the apocalypse to the bunkers!" Letty teased him making Leon fall over with laughter. Vince looked at the two and glared at them giving Letty the finger and walking to his room.
"Ok so…what are…we going to…eat." Leon asked trying to catch his breath and holding onto his stomach. "Order pizza." Letty looked at Leon. "Ok." He ordered pizza and decided on a movie to watch.
Letty was heading up to bed and saw the glow of Mia's bedroom light coming from under the door. She decided to go talk to her about Vince. She knocked on the door and heard movement coming from behind the door.
"Hold on." Mia answered. Letty waited leaning against the railing. Mia opened the door and smiled softly at her friend. "Come in." Letty walked in and could smell the sent of lavender coming from the burning candles and soft music was playing in the background. Letty sat on Mia's bed with her back to the wall. Mia laid down on her bed with her head on Letty's lap, she began to cry. Letty gently brushed Mia's hair with her fingers.
"What's wrong Mi?" Letty whispered. "I don't know, everything is just so weird. I am so confused Letty." she looked up at her friend. "Why? you know you can tell me." "Ok, but promise you wont tell." Letty smiled softly at her and held out her hand. "Pinky promise." Mia took her little finger and they shook on it laughing at their childish ways.
"I think I'm in love with Vince." Letty's eyes became wide and she gasped. "You for real man?" "Yeah." Mia drawled out. "How? When?" Letty asked. "It started when we where in high school and you left to boarding school when it all started. After my dad died and Dominic went to jail, Vince was always there. He got me through a lot of things and I started to have a crush on him. But when I left to Montana and met Jeremy I thought I was over V. Now I get jealous whenever he talks to skanks and with Cynthia in the picture it just gets on my nervous." Letty furrowed her eyebrows. "You know I always thought Vince liked you. He is constantly flirting with you." "There's something I never told you, he asked me out once. I said no." Letty was looking at her like she had grown another head. "What!? why!?" Mia chuckled at her friends interest. "I was playing hard to get." she responded as innocently as possible.
"Right and now you're jealous of some other girl when you could have had him. That would be like me giving up an opportunity to be with your brother." Mia rolled her eyes. "I know but I thought he would catch on." Letty laughed, "Mia baby there are things you need to learn. One of them being that men can be idiots when it comes to love, they can't tell when it's right in front of them. Secondly, men aren't mind readers which leads to, they don't know if you're playing hard to get. Lastly, men need a few hints that you like them." Mia rubbed at her eyes. "I guess, but am never falling for Dominic's friends again."
