Chapter 3
A little after ten that night they left leaving behind the hide out forever they arrived in the city about forty miles from where Letty was about four pm the next day and immediately crashed at a seedy motel.
The next morning Mia got up, dressed in appropriate cloths and caught a bus to the hospital which was where the FBI would pick her up. Mia fidgeted as she tried to look calm and collected as she waited for the rondevu. As the black SUV pulled up the passenger window rolled down and the agent in the passenger seat demanded. "You the new doc?"
"Yeah," Mia replied said trying desperately to act like an FBI agent
"Get in then," Mia complied getting into the Back seat and closing the door. After about a thirty minute drive filled with uncomfortable silence they arrived. To Mia the complex looked like a miniature housing development with a huge brick fence around the outside. The SUV drove up to the gate where the driver rolled down the window and spoke a few terse words with the agent at the gate. The gateman shot Mia a pitying look and said "good luck,"
"What does he mean," she question as the SUV pulled through the gate.
"Your patient Doc she's a real spitfire." Mia about busted a gut trying to hold in a very Letty like snort, but instead just arched an eyebrow. Seeing he disbelieving look the driver snorted and proceeded to tell her how Letty had beat the last doctor to a pulp.
"I doubt she'll have a problem with me," Mia said frostily
"Whatever you say doc," Mia just rolled her eyes and got out of the car, walking calmly up the walk to the front door and knocked politely and called out "Ms. Ortiz
"I'm in the garage," yelled a voice, Mia barley restrained herself from running behind the small house and throwing herself at Letty. Instead she walked calmly and upon reaching the garage knocked gently against the door frame. Letty looked up mouth open ready to curse the person who interrupted her forced solitude. She locked eyes with Mia and suddenly there was the sound of a wrench hitting the cement floor.
"You going to be nice Ortiz, or shall we restrain you again." Sneered one of the agents that brought Mia.
"Fuck you," Letty snarled back
"Well then have fun girls, Doc just come up to the guard house when you're done," the two agents then turned around and left the garage. Mia watched them walk around the building into the guard's house and slam the door. As soon as the door was closed Mia spun around and embraced the women that had been like her sister for many years.
"It's so good to see you, I thought I would never see anybody from the outside again," Letty rambled
"Well I thought you were dead," Mia laughed "come on we better go inside" Letty put away the few meager tools she had and turned off the lights in the garage before leading Mia into the small house. Mia whistled looking around Letty's sparse room "Lot smaller than the bed you shared with Dom," Mia laughed. At the mention of Dom's name Letty whipped around disregarding the rag she had been using to clean her hands. "How is he," she demanded
"Relax he's fine we busted he Brian and Tego are in the city about forty miles from here."
"Alright so let's get out of here,"
"Not so fast we can't get through that gate," Letty's face fell seeing this Mia hurriedly continued "but, we have a plan I'm going to give you this," she held up a syringe "and It'll make you sick when I come back tomorrow I'll tell them you have to go to the hospital, and that's when we'll get out of here." Letty huffed obviously upset with the delay "fine," she ground out Mia smiled sympathetically before moving forward and rolling up her sleeve.
"It's just strawberry extract enough to give you cramps and a stomach ache," Letty made a face but let Mia inject the solution into her arm. Standing up Mia embraced Letty one more time she laughed "you're going to hate me tomorrow," the only reply she got was a sadistic smirk as she walk out the door.
Mia took a deep breath and composed herself before walking up to the guard house and knocking on the door.
"Come on in doc," Mia entered the house and found the three agents sitting at the table watching football reruns from the night before.
"How's the spitfire doc," the guard stationed at the gate piped up.
: actually she has a small infection in the shoulder where she was shot so I gave her some penicillin, which should take care of it."
"Great," interrupted the agent getting up.
"Not so fast, penicillin is known to have an allergic reaction but she didn't know if she was allergic,"
"Ok doc," the agents that brought her took her back to the hospital, when the SUV was long gone she boarded a bus that would take her back to the hotel.
Dom was pacing while Brian watched clearly annoyed, when Mia burst thought eh door she threw herself at Dom. "Oh, Dom she's fine almost healthy and happy," Brian got up and made sure the door was locked before coming back to sit on the couch as Mia grabbed him for a hug. "So tell us how is she," Brian said sitting down on the coach as Mia flopped down next to him.
"She's fine, she was working on an old car something from an impound lot they found her to keep her happy, when I got there but she wants out now," Dom smiled and when Tego returned with lunch they ate and then chilled for the rest of the day.
