| Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 19: The Great Escape "Damn it!" I growled from my place on the floor. I just spent about 10 whole minutes trying to cut the ropes that held Dom and me together only to have the damn piece of glass bust on me. I felt more pressure being applied to my back and wrists. Dom's slumping over! "Dom!" I yelled...."Dom!" "What? huh?" He asked kinda groggy still. "Dom baby you gotta stay awake for me ok?" "Yeah." He answered. "Well at least he was responding." I thought to myself. "OK can you reach another piece of glass baby? Try that one right next to your left hand." I told him and he turned his arm at an odd angle trying to get the damn thing. Almost dislocated my shoulders, but he got it. Using our fingers, we passed the piece of glass from one hand to the other and I started cutting the ropes again. I heard a crackling sound and then a snap. "YES!" I almost screamed as I pulled the ropes off my wrists and untied Dom too. It was the fist time since this morning I got see his face. He'd been roughed up pretty bad, cut above his right eye, busted lip, bruises and cuts all over. "Those two are gonna pay in blood for this Dom I promise" I whispered to him and helped him up. “Damn I feel like I got the shit kicked outta me.” He said with a dumb little smile. I quickly took both of our guns and a couple of rounds off the table where Chris had put them. “You DID.” I said trying not to laugh. As we walked to the metal doors we saw that there were a bunch of barrels on the assembly line of the old warehouse. I jumped on the line and opened one. Inside were hundreds of bags of coke and heroin still in rock form. I got down and put Dom’s arm over my shoulders and helped him walk outside. “Are those two idiots or what??” They’d fucking left my car right there where I had left it! We made our way over to it and got in. Then I realized that bitch Letty had my damn keys. “SHIT!” I said slamming my hands on the dashboard. “Relax. Don’t you know how to hot wire a car?” Dom asked and I smiled. He turned his body upside down in the car until his head was directly under the steering wheel. “You got something that cuts J?” “Yeah here.” I said as I handed him my Swiss army knife from the glove compartment. After cutting and reattaching cables and stuff, Dom stuck his head out from under the steering wheel. “Turn the key babe.” He said whipping off his hands. I did and my baby purred like a kitten. (Not Dom! The car!) I smiled at him. “You’ve got some good equipment.” “Always have.” He said winking at me with his special smirk on his face. I got my cell phone from the glove compartment and dialed a number. It rang 4 times then someone picked up. "Yeah?" asked the female voice on the other end. "VR?" I asked. VR-4 (Maureen) is one of the small group of friends I made in the first weeks I came to L.A before I met Dom. Her and the rest of her crew which is made up of women only, let me crash at their place before I got my own. We've remained friends. "Yeah. Janet? damn girl where the FUCK have you been. You get your new place and forget all about me huh?" "Nah just had some shit to take care of. Listen I need your help, can you get the girls and meet me at Dom's?" "Aight. Bye." Peace." I said and hung up. We drove off to Dom’s place to tell the rest of the crew what went down. When we got there, it was like they already knew something went down. Vince, Leo, Maureen (VR-4), Cathy, Ladie D, Vinlover 101, sushomog, Edwin, Brooke and Mia were all in the kitchen. I guess the girls had come over immediately after I called. Man I loved those girls.......they knew how to have FUN! “Oh my God! Dom what happened? Mia asked rushing over to her brother. “Nothin’ Mia, just had a little accident. Alright you guys.....family meeting.” They all sat down around the table, I decided to stand. Vince handed Dom a Corona and he sipped it, thinking about how to start. Then Vince turned to me. “What the HELL is she doing here?” He practically yelled. I could see Dom’s jaw clench but he stayed seated. Vince was starrin’ at me until Dom spoke then they locked eyes. “ Who Janet? that’s my girl.” Dom said as calmly as possible. “Your GIRL? That bitch almost cost us all our asses!” Before I could even blink Dom was over in Vince’s face and holding him 2 feet off the ground by his shirt. “I never thought I’d fight you over a woman Vince, don’t make me change my mind. That “bitch” over there," He said pointing at me, “just saved my ass from dying twice, the first time, yeah I thought she betrayed me, goes to show how stupid I am cuz what she was really doing was almost losing her life to save all of ours. It turns out I shouldn’t have been worrying about OUTSIDERS betraying me, the deceit would come right from home.” Dom said giving them a couple of seconds to register what he’d just said. “Letty?” Leo asked like he couldn’t even believe he’d said that. Dom nodded. “I knew I didn’t like that bitch for a reason!” Cathy basically growled. “Wait till we get out hands on that skank Dom, there’s a reason they call us gutter girls.” Maureen seethed from the corner as the other G girls nodded. I smirked at the gleam in their eyes........Oh yes, I definitely like these girls. “Yep. That’s the one you should be angry at Vince, that’s the BITCH we gotta go after. Her and Janet’s little psycho fuck brother Chris. Those two fucks are gonna try and intercept the truck with all the merchandise coming our way before it even gets to L.A. Now I don’t know if ya’ll wanna loose all the money but I sure as hell don’t.” “So what the hell do we do about it?” Asked Vince after he’s calmed down. He shrugged his shoulders at me as if to say “Sorry" and I smiled. “We hit them before they hit us.” I said catching everybody off guard. “That’s right.” Dom said coming over and putting his arms around my shoulders. “Here’s the plan. Leo, Vince, Edwin, Vinlover, LadieD, and soshumog, you guys are gonna head out on the back roads out of L.A. You’re probably gonna get there just when their goons intercept the truck. I want you to take care of it as quickly and as permanently as possible, no proof you were there. I want the truck. After that the plan we had before comes into effect. You guys go to the warehouse where we put the cars before the races, unload the merchandise, and dump the truck in the middle of nowhere. Now Cathy, VR, and Brooke are gonna come with me and J to Chris’s warehouse, were gonna wait for them to come back. Then we’ll take them out. That way we get the money and we get payback on those two fucks. Brooke and Princess are gonna be outside in the back making sure nobody interferes. When it's over we'll all meet back there and leave. Any questions?” Dom asked looking around. “Yeah.. when do we leave? Cathy asked and we all laughed. “As soon as we check to make sure our rides are working properly. Every body‘s in on this....no room for failure. Everybody‘s armed to the teeth. If ya gotta go down PLEASE go down fighting!” Dom said. About two hours passed as everyone checked and re-checked their systems to make sure they were working right. I was looking out at the city from the window when Dom came to stand next to me. “I feel the need...” He whispered in my ear and I smiled. “The need for speed?” I asked like I didn’t know. “HELL YEAH Let’s do it.” He said and with that we walked downstairs to check on the others. Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 20: Nothing But Easy Money..... Dom had been right about everything. The Crew got there right after Chris's goons had taken the truck. Now they were all unloading the merchandise into their cars when they head the engines. They turned around when they saw the formation of cars. It was Vince and Leo in the lead, Edwin and VR second, LadieD and Vinlover 101 in third, Mia and Sushomog in end. As they got closer they saw Chris's goons spread out and start getting guns. Vince took control and directed everybody on their walkie-talkies. “Yo Crew get your glocks ready, this one’s gonna get hot fast. Remember to watch yours and your partners back. Don’t want nobody getting shot. Got it?” He asked getting a different set of Yes from each pair. The plan was, Vince was to get out of his car and try to “negotiate” the stuff off them. If that didn’t work it was gonna be a war. So Vince stepped out of his car and everybody held their breaths. “Can we help you?” One of the goons said pointing his gun directly to Vince’s chest. “Yeah you can, you can tell your guys to put the stuff back in the truck and you can leave with your asses in tact.” Vince said with the biggest smile ever. “I don’t think so. Now you leave before you get your ass Swiss cheesed.” The guy said still holding the gun. But Vince wasn’t really sweating getting shot since he was wearing a bullet proof vest. In the blink of an eye he brought his silver handle glock out and shot the guy between the eyes. “Damn and I was so looking forward to working with him.” Vince said as the shots started flying around him and he ran back to his car. The situation had exploded, each side was using their cars as shields and shooting at the other side. Good thing the Crew had good aim, Chris’s goon were dropping like flies. When it was over they ran to where the truck was and all the stuff was in there. So what had those guys been putting in the cars??? They searched the bodies until they found the keys to the trunks. They opened them and found about two suitcases in each. When they got them open none of them could believe their eyes. Thousands and thousands on dollars in about seven suitcases. The girls started jumping up and down and hugging each other and guys congratulated each other too. “Alright stop the shit we gotta clean up this mess and get the FUCK outta here.” Vince said and everybody started doing just that. MEANWHILE, IN THE WAREHOUSE......... Letty and Chris had been on their way to the truck when Letty remembered that they’d forgotten about 50G’s in suitcases back at the warehouse. Being the greedy bastards that they are they decided to turn back and get them. Janet, Cathy, Dom, and Maureen had gone over their parts like a thousand times when they heard the engines glide to a stop outside and the sound of slamming doors. “Shit... they brought backup.” Cathy said looking at Dom for what to do. “No prob, nothing changes you two take care of the goons and let me and Janet deal with Chris and Letty. Ready?” He asked looking each of the girls in the eye. He was surprised how much braver they were than most women he’d dealt with. He never thought he’d have to depend on any woman to help him out, but here he was, surrounded by three women who were putting their asses on the line for him. He smiled a little. But all of those feelings were lost when he heard and saw Chris and Letty walk into the warehouse with only two goons to protect them. As soon as the door closed behind them, Dom knew they were his. He had messed with the automatic lock mechanism so it would open and close once, then go to permanent lock mode. There was no way out, only he knew the come to disarm it. “Alright you two go get the barrels and load them into the van. We’ll meet you outside with the suitcases.” Chris said as they split up. Dom gave Cathy and VR the signal to go after the guys and then he and Janet made their way down the metal stairs after Chris and Letty. Dom made his way over to the lights and switched them off, blanketing the entire warehouse into complete darkness. As Dom approached the entrance to where he knew Chris and Letty had gone, Janet made her way around to ambush them from the back. “What the hell’s going on?” Asked a really scared Letty. “I don’t know but the backup lights should be up soon.” Chris said. Dom was already in the room listening to their two scared voices. He placed himself about two feet away from where they were standing when the back-up lights came on. Chris had seen him and immediately pulled his gun on Dom and vise versa. “Nice seeing you again Torreto. Guess you just don’t know when to drop things.” Chris said pointing his gun at him. “It must be hard for you to loose all the time Chris. I mean every time you try something, somebody always stops you.” Dom said smiling. “Yeah well there ain’t nobody here to stop me from blowing your head off is there?” Chris said. Then that’s when Janet stepped out of the darkness. "Think again asshole.” |
