Chapter 6

I entered into the restaurant with Dom, Mai, Leon, Letty, Jess and Vince behind me.

"Why am I first?" I pleaded.

"Because your life is well more expendable then mine." Vince replied.

"Oh very funny." Mai slapped him. I felt a little bit better.

Kris did not look to happy to see us. I suppose beating him and his thugs if that's what you could call them wouldn't be too bright and sunshiny since they'd lost the race. But I mean it was a public restaurant it was not like he could do anything about it well maybe start another fist fight with Dom.

"What can I get you kids?" Izzo asked.

"Anything they like apparently since they've got all our money." Kris muttered.

"All of it? Wow you are cheap bastards pretending to be racers. I mean if you could race maybe just maybe your team might of won but nah who am I kidding not in this life." Dom smirked.

Kris stood up his fist raised. We stood behind Dom.

"If there's any trouble I'll kick the both of you out paid or not." Izzo said.

"Relax I'm friendly with the cops." Kris said.

"Do you roll in the dirt with the pigs too?" Dom asked.

"Look are you going to order or not?" Izzo demanded.

We stood aside. Kris barked at his group an order to go.

"They're locals I don't usually play favorites but they are my usual business." Izzo said.

Dom nodded. "Well we won't be very long in town."

"How long is long?"

"We're leaving tomorrow." Dom replied.

"After you scare away my customers terrific." Izzo murmured. She began to write down our orders.

Mai was making eyes at me when Leon sat next to Dom.

"Man, my son would love this shit."

"Your what?" Dom thundered. You could hear crickets chirping the next state over. All of us were stunned. I think if he really wanted to Dom would have hit him.

"First him then you now. Who is this son of yours?" Dom asked.

Leon turned red. "Oh I didn't mean to say that allowed and um my son he'd be now I'm not sure. I mean I got the girl pregnant when I was fourteen and she was thirteen."

"So you're a father?" Jesse asked stunned.

"Well, I've never been much of a father have I? But then the family's never given me much of a chance."

"Where does she live?" Dom asked.

"What does it matter? I steal from trucks, I'm a street racer and the mother hates me."

"Did you offer to take care of it?" Dom asked.

"Yes I did but there was no way in hell I was touching the baby." Leon murmured. "To quote the mother's mother."

"Where does she live?" Dom asked again.

"Well last I heard Texas." Leon said.

"We'll head there soon find that address."

Leon nodded. He hadn't taken out the address since he left. The rest of us just stared at him in shock not knowing quite what to say.

Editor's note: since there's not much known about Leon and Jess I can play around with that with dirty little secrets and yes I know that'd it be a very difficult for him to keep something like that from Dom but yeah it just works for this story. Thanks for all the reviews.
