| Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 21: The Great Escape Part 2 "Think again asshole." I said as I pointed my gun directly at Chris's head. Suddenly, there was movement behind me and then I felt the steel of a gun on the side of my head. "Put the gun down Dom." Letty ordered from behind me. By now she had her left hand holding the gun and her right arm around my neck. I watched as Dom put down his gun slowly, then I felt Letty's grip on my neck lessen, so I took the chance. I hooked my right ankle around hers and knocked her down. Letty had landed on her ass but quickly flipped over onto her stomach to try and reach her gun that had slid away from us, I jumped on her and a fight ensued, each trying to get the gun before the other. DOM'S POV Dom and Chris were circling each other, preparing to fight. Chris still had the gun in his hands but he was too stupid to use it, so he decided to come at Dom with the gun. Dom ducked and knocked the gun out of Chris hands, causing Chris to stumble, but not fall. Chris gets into his boxing stance and punches Dom causing blood to gush from his nose and mouth. Dom growled and then came at him with left and right hooks like you would not believe, Chris is caught off guard and falls hard. This gave Dom enough time to reach for the gun and point it at Chris, but he wasn't on the floor like he'd thought. Chris had gotten up while Dom's back was turned and ran out, he had already made it back outside of the garage into the main part of the warehouse where all the heavy loading and unloading machinery is. JANET'S POV Janet and Letty circled each other in much the same way as the men had a couple of minutes before. "Your going down bitch." Letty seethed at Janet. "Bring it on." Letty ran towards Janet looking to tackled her, but came up short of air when Janet wheeled around a hook punched her right in the abdomen. Letty doubled over and as soon as Janet was close enough came at her with lefts and rights, causing Janet to stumble backwards. Again, Letty tried to rush her and that's when Janet leapt into the air and brought her left leg up, executing a perfect Akito Superkick to the side of Letty's skull causing her to fall to the floor with a thud. Janet knelt beside her and whispered, "Didn't know who you were fuckin' with." before grabbing hold of Letty's chin and upper body and twisting, cleanly breaking her neck. She got up and went in search of Dom, she found him pointing the gun at Chris. She knew there was no way that Chris was gonna give up that easily so since neither man had spotted her yet, she made her way around the machinery until she found a tractor-like thing with a giant metal hook to it used for lifting heavy crates and stuff. She started going through switches to see which one turned it on..... MAUREEN AND CATHY'S POV Cathy and Maureen had followed the two goons to somewhere in the back of the warehouse. They watched from behind some crates as the two guys took two silver suitcases out of something that looked like a closet. As the guys were busy taking care of whatever they were doing Maureen and Cathy came out, guns in the air. The two goons had lost all color in their faces but one of them still made a move to reach for his gun, only to have his thumb nearly blown off by one of VR's bullets. "Alright you fucks, slide your guns over to us and step away from the godamned cases." Cathy said, but the guys didn't move away. "NOW!" Maureen screamed at them from her place two feet away and this time the men complied. Quickly the girls stepped over and grabbed the cases and then turned to leave, only to stop in mid-step. "Dom said not to leave any evidence we we're ever here." Maureen whispered over to Cathy. "So, let's not leave any." replied a smiling Cathy as both women raised their guns and delivered clean shots between the eyes to both men. BACK WITH DOM........ Chris was on the floor begging Dom for his life, unfortunately, Dom was falling for it so he lowered his gun and went to Chris. As soon as he was close enough, Chris backhanded the gun outta Dom's grasp and brought his knee up into his croch, sending a growling Dom to the floor in pain. Then he bent down and pulled out the 35mm handgun he'd had strapped to his ankle and pointed it square at Dom. "So this is how it ends Torreto, I get the money and the girl, and you get.......dead." Chris said with a stupid smirk on his face at Dom. But then he heard a loud noise behind him, sounded like machinery, he turned around only to have a large metal hook go through his chest and back, making him look like a worm on a fishing hook. "Told you you'd die screaming motherfucker." Janet said as she stepped out of the seat and ran to check on Dom. "Baby are you ok?" She asked the concern evident on her face and voice. "Yeah...just help me up." He said from his place on the floor. Janet bent down and helped Dom to his feet just as Cathy and Maureen came around a truck covered in dirt and blood splatter. "You guys take care of your end?" Dom asked smiling. Both women nodded returning the smile. "Let's clean this place up." Dom said as he handed each girl a galon of gasoline, then grabbing his own and started to drench the place. Soon the girls got his drift and started doing it too. OUTSIDE..... Brooke and Princess had been waiting out back with the get-away cars for over two hours. Both women were on edge. "What the FUCK are they doin' in there?" Princess asked from her seat on the hood of the baby blue Supra turning to look at Brooke who was sitting on the hood over the other car. "I don't know....but I say let's find out." "You just read my fucking mind." Princess said jumping off the hood with Brooke in tow. BACK INSIDE......... When Dom was sure that there was enough gasoline on the place to erase all evidence, Dom and Janet walked out the back doors with Cathy and Maureen following, almost running over Brooke and Princess who were gonna walk inside just when they were coming out. "Did we miss ALL the action?" Asked Princess and everyone laughed "Not quite." Janet said as they walked to where the cars were and light a match, "Ashes to ashes" Janet said as she dropped the match and the flame rode all the way up to the doors and spread out into a wild blazing ocean of flames, "And dust to dust." Dom whispered as they hugged, glad they were all alive and got into the cars to check on the others. When they made it to warehouse everyone got caught up on the news. It turns out that in the briefcases there were about $90,000 and an estimated $40,000 in merchandise from the trucks. Then a smiling Maureen and Cathy put two metal briefcases on the table. Everyone looked at Dom for what they should do. Since they didn't wanna waste time trying to figure out how to open the lock mechanism on them, Dom shot off the locks. Inside were leases for two houses off the Eastern coast of Puerto Rico. To say the least, everything had gone down better than expected. Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 22: New Beginnings, The End Two weeks later, we we're all at St. Mary's General Hospital. They were releasing Jesse today. It had taken forever but he had learned how to walk again and maybe with some work he could even be able to run. Dr. Landman wheeled Jesse outside to where we were waiting for him. We sort of watched in silent amazement as Jesse rose up from the chair and walked, slowly, but walked over to us and hugged Dom. I don't think anyone else noticed the sudden glistening in Dom's eyes, but to me it was obvious that he was SO relieved Jesse was ok. We had this huge party planned for him when we got home, there was basically everyone we knew in attendance and as soon as Jesse got out of the car everyone was on him asking questions and congratulating him on his safe return. I smiled as I watched Jesse trying to answer everybody at the same time, I didn't even feel Dom come up behind me. "Come out with me for a minute." He whispered into my ear as he walked me over to the back garden of the huge house we had just bought. You see, I had asked Dom to move all of us to NY where nobody knew us and we could start over, but he'd refused saying that L.A. was all he's ever known and that it'd be too hard for him to leave all those memories. So I called Pop and told him that I had "exterminated" Chris but that I was not coming home, I was gonna stay with Dom, and to my surprise he's actually gone for it. So we split up the money we'd made between each other and since Maureen and the rest of her crew had been SO helpful to us with the whole mess, we gave them the leases for the houses in Puerto Rico with a cut of the cash. Everybody was happy and for the first time in my life I felt part of something, like I belonged. I came out of my memories by Dom gently shaking me to get my attention. "Hey you Ok in there?" He asked smiling. "Yeah just thinking I guess." "Well I brought you out here cuz I needed to ask you something." He said as he took my left hand in his. "What?" I asked sort of confused at what he wanted, but then he bent down on one knee and pulled a blue velvet box outta his pocket and my mind went blank. "Janet, you've been the only woman whose ever taken a chance on me and never doubted that I'd come through. You showed a stupid prick like me that there's something more out there than quick fucks and pointless relationships, so I just wanted to know if you'd take another chance on me. Will you marry me J?" Dom asked holding his breath. I let a sigh out, and looked him straight in the eyes. Such beautiful eyes, their was no denying it.......I was COMPLETELY in love with him. But you know what they say, better safe than sorry......."You're not any easy man Dom..." I said kinda drifting off,....... I wasn't sure. "Yeah but I was kinda hoping you'd help me work on that......Marry me?" He whispered. I looked at him again and nodded. "YES, Yes, I will marry you." I said and he slipped the ring on my finger and pulled me to him for a kiss that can only be described as amazing. "Let's go show off." He said and I laughed. As we walked out back into the party I looked over at my soon to be husband and thought about how he'd react to finding out he was gonna be a daddy in a couple of months? Silently, I thanked God for these gifts and I thanked him for my love of racing. Yes indeed, Thank God for speed....... (c)Copyright: Priscilla Asencio for "Speed" Chapters 1-22. |
