Summary: Ever wonder what happened after Dom headed for Mexico? Here's my version...
Disclaimer: I made no claim to any TF&TF Character.
Chapter 1
There was enough Corona in the house to float the Spanish Armada. Limes and salt stood ready for the tequila Dom had stocked up on in anticipation of their arrival. The house was a clean as it was gonna get and he was getting antsy. Almost 6 months had passed since the shit hit the fan. They had all agreed that if anything ever went wrong that they would split up and lay low for 6 months. Well, something had definitely gone wrong and it was his fault. Now he just hoped they would forgive him and show up as planned.
He knew Mia and Leon would show, but Vince had been hurt pretty bad and Letty...God, he hoped Letty was all right. He didn't know, not for sure, how any of them were. No contact had also been a part of the plan. The hardest part.
Not seeing his sister for 6 months had been bad, but being without Letty...it had been like walking around with a gaping hole in his chest where his heart shoulda been. He had seen her practically every single day since she was 10 years old and these past 6 months without her had been pure gut-wrenching HELL.
God, he hoped they got there soon. He was sick and tired of being alone. Not that he necessarily had to be. There was a waitress at his favorite local bar who had let him know in no uncertain terms that if he ever wanted to get laid, she was more than available. Once...he had almost given into temptation, but he had remembered the wounded look on Letty's face when she had found out about him fuckin Tran's sister. Shit, it took forever to get back into her good graces and her pants and after everything that went down, he wasn't willing to risk it. So 6 months of self-imposed celibacy seemed a small price to pay.

Chapter 2
Two days passed before the first of them arrived. Dom had driven up to his "Little Piece of Paradise" as he like to call the hacienda style house he had purchased with a chunk of his...(ill gotten gains?)...savings and seen the white Jetta parked out front. The car reminded him of Jesse. He knew that Jesse wouldn't be waiting inside the house for him but for a split second he almost believed he that would see the hyper kid again. Jesse's death had been horrible and his blood was still on his hands. No, it wasn't Jesse, but who was it?
Dom parked the 65 Mustang Cobra and raced into the house. Flinging the door open he found Leon sprawled on the big leather couch in the living room.
"Bro!"
"Dom!"
The two men embraced awkwardly and ended up slapping each other on the back with as much machismo as possible.
"How was your trip down, man? You hungry? Thirsty?" Dom was so glad to finally have company. He wasn't a solitary man and it hit him how much he missed the team.
Leon took Dom up on his offer of food and drink and guzzled a Corona as he told Dom of what had happened 6 months earlier.
He had taken Letty to the hospital after dropping him and Mia at home and then gotten the hell outta Dodge. Letty was gonna claim to have been beaten up by an ex-boyfriend, give a fake name to get checked out and then split herself. He hadn't seen her again after leaving the hospital.
He had hopped a bus heading north and gone to Canada. He had family there who wouldn't rat him out and besides, grass and prostitution were legal up there. Not such a bad place to lay low for a while. Although he had nearly frozen his ass off for the last few months, the idea of meeting up with Dom and the team in sunny, warm Mexico made it easier.
The two men talked well into the night before turning in.
Dom took a shower just in case Letty arrived sometime before morning. If she did, he'd have her to wake up to tomorrow. He missed her so much. He wanted everything to be perfect. He had made his room as "Letty-friendly" as possible. He had painted the walls in a rich warm tone that reminded him of the shade of Letty's smooth skin. He'd bought a shitload of those scented candles she loved and the biggest bed he could find. Letty always complained about the double he had back home. She liked her space in bed and with extra king he had now, she would have it.
