| Title: Speed Author: Priscilla Chapter 9 IN JANET'S APARTMENT...... Dominic got to the top of the stairs that led into Janet's house with a smile on his face, stopping dead in his tracks at what he saw once he was inside. The place was a huge mess. The furniture was thrown all over the place, dishes broken, pictures ripped off walls, cabinets open with things broken inside. His heart was hammering in his chest 'Where is she??' he asked himself. By the looks of the place and the drag marks on the floor it looked like there had been a fight. The only thought that came to mind was Jonny Tran. "It's about damn time I took care of that motherfucker anyway." He ran downstairs and sped towards his house. "Mia!." He yelled when he walked in. "Dom. Where have you been? Me and Janet have been worried sick." "Do you know where she is?" "Yeah she was waiting for you at her place when I last talked to her but-" "No she's not . Somebody has her Mia. I went by her place and it was a mess like there was a fight and Janet lost." "You think it's Tran?" "No doubt in my mind. Get the crew together. We're fuckin' finishing this tonight." He told Mia before kissing his baby sister on the forehead and heading off to the hospital to make sure they hadn't done something to Jesse too. He got to the St. Joseph's in record time. He probably shouldn't have done that considering it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning and he hadn't had one solid hour of sleep because of Janet and their constant sex. He allowed himself to smile as he thought about how good he felt when he was with her but SPECIALLY when he was IN her. He remembered when she came, how she had moaned his name......he couldn't stop himself from getting hard and smiling to himself. “Down boy” he said to his dick. He quickly came out of his thoughts when he arrived at the front entrance of the hospital. His heart was thumping so hard in his chest that he thought it would pop at any minute. When he opened Jesse's door and saw him still lying there, at least still alive, he let out the breath he had been holding. He went over to Jesse's side and whispered: "Hey Jess. I'm sorry I gotta go so quickly but there's something I gotta take care of, but I'll be back to see you later I promise." He said as he grabbed Jesse's hand and squeezed it, turning to leave again. When he got home the whole crew was there, some in the kitchen, others in the living room. "Alright guys, family meeting." Dom said when he walked in. Everybody came into the living room to see what he had to say. "Alright in case you don't know why you're here yet, let me fill you in. We're gonna take care of this Tran crew business tonight. Here's the plan. Vince and Edwin are gonna go to their hang out and tell them that we wanna race and that the stipulations are simple.....20G's. One race on Dead Man's Curve, winner takes all, loser has to pick up and move their whole operation out of L.A. and can't come back, if they do.....they leave permanently as in body bags. EVERYONE has to be in on this, there is NO room for mistakes. Make sure to be armed, if it's a set-up you gotta be prepared. Mia you stay here until somebody comes to get you. I don't want you getting hurt if something goes wrong. "What about Janet? Isn't she in on it?" asked Leo. "Man she's the reason it's going down. They have her and I'm gonna get her back, that's why I CAN'T lose. It's the only way to get rid of Tran and get my girl back. You guys down or what?" Everybody agreed and soon they we're asking questions and going over the plan more clearly. It was 5 o'clock in the morning when they were done. "Listen guys I gotta go work on my ride. I'll see ya later." Dom said as he walked off in the direction of the garage. Little did he know that the "surprise" Chris had left him was already there just waiting for him to show up. Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 10 Dominic and the crew arrived at Dead Man's Curve at 11:45 p.m. and went over the plan one more time before the Tran crew arrived. They could use 1 shot of NOS injection, but the driver had to decide when he could do it or not because the road curves and turns at weird angles. This was a secret race so there weren't any others around except the people that belonged to whichever crew. Dom got out of his car first and Jonny followed, both stopping in front of Leo to give him the money. "Where's Janet?" Dom asked as he handed over his 20G's to Leo. "What the hell are you talking about Torreto? I don't know shit about your little girlfriend." Jonny said irritated. Dom was gettin angry now. "After I SMOKE your ass in this race I better find my girl at the finish line." All in all there was 40G's at steak as well as not only personal honor but each crew's home and racing turf. Whomever lost would have to get lost for good. Soon, both men were back in their cars aligning themselves on the starting line. When Vince dropped the flag they sped down the winding slopes of pavement. Jonny was in the lead after the first curve, but that was ok, because soon Dom came right up behind and then passed him. When the second curve came Dom was on the inside and so came out first again. Jonny was right behind him, then he was right next to him, grinding the side of his car into Dom's to try and force him into the side of the rocks. The last turn was closing in but Jonny was not letting up, pushing for his only shot of NOS. Dominic almost lost control of his car because of the force, but regained it just before the next turn. As it closed in, Dominic used his shot of NOS just when Tran's was just winding down, to leave Jonny in the dust. They stopped at the finish line only seconds apart. Dom got out to the congratulatory hugs when he stepped out of his ride. He looked around, Jonny and his crew were off to the side talking amongst themselves, but no Janet. He stepped right up to Tran. "Where is she?" he gritted out between teeth, only inches separating their faces. "I don't know what the FUCK you talking about!" Jonny screamed. "If you don't have her who does?" Dominic asked gabbing him by the shirt and pulling him off of the ground until they were eye level.. "Look man I don't know what to tell you, it's not like I know EVERYTHING that goes on. Have you ever heard of a guy named Malone? Well, he's new. Comes from N.Y. or something. Big money. Anyways, check with him. Last I heard he was looking for someone who fitted your girl's description." Jonny said, sweat forming in beads on his forehead because of the look Dom was giving him. "Are we done here?" He asked finally getting himself under control. "Yeah were done. You just lost all status here, don't come back or theirs gonna be a war. This place is MINE now." "It's only yours until someone else tries to take it but, deal. I know when I'm beat." Jonny held out his hand and Dom shook it quickly, then the Tran crew was gone. He was surprised that after all that had gone down between them, Jonny had walked away so easily. "Dom, what are you gonna do about Janet?" asked Vince. "I don't know man. I don't know. "Where the hell's Letty?" Dom asked looking around and not seeing her anywhere.. "She had to take care of something. I think it was her mom that's sick." said Leo. Dom gave a snort. "So much for all for one and one for all." He said as they all got into their cars and drove home to tell Mia the good news. ********************* Janet had been dumped in the alleyway behind the Spanish Grocery two blocks away from her house. She'd gotten up and with all the strength left in her, walked back to her place. She was stunned at the mess she and Chris had left behind in their scuffle. "I'll clean it up later." she said to herself. She made her way up the stairs and into the bathroom. "Shit!!!" she screamed when she lifted her arms to take her clothes off. She looked at herself in the mirror and gasped at the angry blue-purple bruises around her rib cage and the scratches on her arms and legs where Chris had forced himself on her on the pavement. Very carefully she stepped into the shower and started to take a bath, stopping now and then to catch her breath. It really hurt to breathe. "God what did I do to deserve this?........The man that I love has my sicko "brother" trying to kill him." She started to cry as the water continued to cascade off her body. She felt disgusting and like a traitor. A traitor to Dom and to herself. "All I need is a day to heal up....... and then I'll tell Dom everything." She told herself as she stepped out still trying to figure out how exactly she was gonna tell Dom that he had been her target from the start. That Chris was just taking over the job she was supposed to be doing? She took about 4 painkillers, got into bed, and passed out. |
