Chapter 4

An Idea is Forming

Editor's note: I am now going to describe actions in paragraphs and all the talking will be done like this

Dom: "Brian what do you know?"

"I know a lot that can help us Dom but we'd better get moving." I said. So hopefully that's easier to read. Thanks for the reviews I find all of them helpful and I try to fix the mistakes try. But the reviews are encouraging thanks! It's still Brian's point of view.

The girl as it transpired was pulling into the same station that Leon had walked to because he blew a tire. Her name was Kerri Simpson she was twenty one years old and she had provided the beer. Turned out Dom had seen her street racing and on some armature circuits. Dom didn't know what she did to make the money but it was definitely not legal. She came from a more middle class background and her parents would never give her two grand so she could illegally street race. In fact they knew nothing about it.

I talked to her when she came in.

Kerri: "Yeah I always had just enough what I needed roof over my head and love from at least one parent."

Leon: "That's what she told me anyways it was only last year when she got into cars and racing and a couple of friends she made at the bar she works at got her in."

Letty: "It smells and moves like a skank I don't think we can trust her Dom."

Kerri: "Funny I was just about to say you look trashy which is worse or is there a difference."

Letty leapt at her throwing a good punch. It surprised us all when Kerri returned the favor. Dom grabbed her hands.

Dom: "You ever touch my girlfriend again I'll smack you so you can't race anymore understand? Oh and you'll be escourted off the premises."

Leon: "Guys give her a chance."

Vince: "Look what happened when we gave him a chance."

I knew he meant me. "Hey I passed the test and you know it!"

Vince: "I'm still waiting for the day you go and run to the cops about what we did. So I can kick your ass."

I rolled my eyes. "Just because Mai chose me."

Mai had come back downstairs to see what the commotion was about. She took a good look at Kerri and then clung to my arm scowling. Jesse didn't seem to mind another female around though he was checking her out. She caught him and smiled in a friendly way. Not I'm flirting with you but hey. Mai kissed me. It caught me buy surprise.

Dom looked from Letty to Kerri. Letty was angry. I could tell.

Dom: "All right you can have a drink but that does know way make you a family member here okay?"

Kerri shrugged: "Do I look like an orphan to you?"

Dom: "No a lost sheep armature."

Kerri: "Cold very cold Dom."

Letty stormed upstairs and Dom followed her. Letty punched a hole in the wall. Leon looked at Kerri.

Leon: "I'll get you a drink."

Kerri nodded.

Leon went into the kitchen and Kerri followed him.. Dom came back down stairs reporting that Letty refused to come downstairs but that if Leon and Kerri were friends there was nothing he could do about it really unless things got violent. Mai was eyeing Kerri nervously too. I held on tightly to Mai.

"So does this mean you forgive me?" I whispered.

Mai: "Yeah."

I looked at Kerri: "Thanks."

Kerri looked back at me puzzled: "Your welcome I guess."

Kerri and Leonwere talking about cars. Mai and I were only kind of listening in. Dom pulled me aside.

Dom: "Brian I need your help. This is another way we know we can trust you. The cops know where my house is yes?"

I looked Dom right in the eye. "Yeah. How'd you think I found you."

Dom punched me on the arm: "Oh so you're a wise guy now huh? Seriously Brian what do you think we should do?"

"Look Dom I left the cop world to be with my family but I am not going to leave you. So I have an idea. We're both wanted. Your wanted for stolen items and I'm wanted for not turning them in. What do you say we drive around the fifty states for awhile keeping them off our tale making money joining the different street racers? Until we find a place we all agree to settle."

Dom: "Not a bad plan Brian O Connor let's put it into action. The rest of the team has to agree of course."

"When do we pack?"

Dom: "Tonight after we kick our guest out."
