Chapter Three- Welcome Home/In trouble

Dom moved forward and embraced Ace with a hug so tightly that Brian was sure the kid couldn't breath. When they let go and Dom took a step back, he had his arms on Ace's shoulders. He looked him up and down and then smiled, "you look good kid…you hungry?" he asked.

Ace's ghost of a smile came on his face and he eagerly shook his head , "yeah, I'm starving. That food I had this morning did nothing for my complexion," he joked as Letty came up and took his hand.

"come on man, lets get some food," Letty said as she pulled Ace towards the table, Ace was all to happy to go with her, as he let her lead him to the table.

Dom watched with a small smile as Brian came up beside him. " Dom…I'm going inside to see if Mia needs any help, if that's alright", he asked . Dom nodded his approval and Brian turned and went into the Torretto kitchen, where Mia was standing making a salad.

"Hey ", Mia said as Brian came to stand behind her. She smiled and leaned back into Brian.

"I'm glad he's home.", Mia said .

"me to Mia…me to," Brian said as he kissed the top of her head.

Three weeks later…..

I am so dead. So dead…maybe Brian will pick up the phone…if Dom does I'll really be dead. The thoughts of being horribly murdered ran through Ace's head as he sat outside the principles office. He had only ben back in school three weeks and he already picked a fight with the son of one of Dom's most hated enemy. He had the upper hand before the head coach grabbed him in a headlock and dragged him down to the office.

He had been there over an hour before the office door opened and he heard a deep familiar voice talking to the secretary . He glanced up and saw Dom standing at the front desk. Dom turned and glared at Ace until he turned his eyes to the floor. The principle came out of his office and introduced himself to Dom before taking him into the office and shutting the door.

Thirty minutes later the door opened and Dom walked out and turned , shaking the principles hand and walking up to Ace. He reached down and yanked Ace up by the arm, ignoring the pained look on the kids face.

"We're leaving." Was all he said as he drug Ace out of the office and out of the school. He walked them to his black charger and all but pushed the kid into the car. Dom went around and got in on his side. He started the car and pulled away from the school.

"Dom.."Ace started but fell silent as Dom raised his hand.

"we'll talk when we get home. I'm to angry to talk to you right now." Dom growled as he sped down the road.

Yep…I am for sure a dead man. Ace thought as he hunkered down in the seat.
