| Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 17: New Shit To Deal With... I woke up and instinctively rolled over to put my arm around my man, but he wasn't there. Hesitantly, I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I didn't hear anything, so where was he? I got up and put my robe around my naked body as I walked to the kitchen. Then I saw the note on the fridge. I read it: Janet, sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, I would have loved to see you wobble in the kitchen. If you need me, call my cell. I'm gonna be racing most of the night, you know we need the money. So I guess I'll see ya later babe. Love, Dom I was both touched and furious. But then I got over it, at LEAST he left a note this time. I got up and took a shower. Then I called Pop. "It's about damn time I told him what his baby boy is up to anyway." I said to myself as I listened to the phone ring on the other end. "Yeah?" he asked. I didn't know if it was wrong or not, but I think I missed that voice. 'God help me'. I said to myself. "Pop it's Janet." I said trying to not sound so damn happy. "J. how's it goin' down there kid?" he asked and my throat closed. "We need to talk pop...." "Sure shoot." He said. Like he had no idea what I was about to drop on him. "It's Chris. He tried to fucking kill me." I said as calmly as I could manage as the memories of him between my legs flooded my brain. "What the HELL are you talking about Janet?" "He came down here and was helping at first. He hired the Tran Crew just like you said, but then when he saw that he couldn't control ME he almost had me taken out." "So what did you do about it?" he asked like I hadn't just said what I'd just said. "Nothing. At least not YET. I guess I didn't know what I could do without your permission." "What the hell are you sayin'? What? You were gonna let him kill you before you handled it yourself Janet? I thought I taught you better than that?" "I know what you taught me about FAMILY, and whether I like it or not he is." "That shit went out the window when he put a gun to your head. I'm gonna tell you something. I think Chris was BORN a spineless coward. I had to constantly put myself in hot water just to dig him out of trouble when he messed with the other families. And I'm gonna tell you something else, he's nothing but a liability to me. I sure as hell don't wanna leave him in charge when I croke." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying it's your call. What ever you decide, you're gonna always be my girl. You have your family no matter what kid." "Thanx pop." "No problem kid. Just don't leave any loose ends and no proof tying you or us to any of it. Take care of yourself." "Bye." I said and then hung up. So it turns out Chris has one last chance and then he's MINE to "deal with." "God I LOVE being Italian." I said out loud to myself Then I got dressed and decided to walk to where the races were being held and surprise Dom. ******************* Dom had arrived a little later than the rest of the crew. He ignored the hooties that came his way and the UGLY looks Letty was giving him. "I'll deal with her later." he said to himself as he walked up to where Leon and Edwin were talking. "Alright peeps, who's takin'?" he asked them both. "Two rich boys over there. They're puttin up 10G's each." Leon answered with a grin on his face. They could see the gleam run across Dom's eyes as he said: "Nothing but easy money." He turned around and basically gave the crowd there the run down of what was gonna happen. The race was awesome. Dom, of course smoked the two guys and was being congratulated by the crew when a black Honda S2000 pulled up. The crowd hanging around got really quiet when they saw Dom's crew place their hands on their guns. Dom couldn't believe it! Hadn't Tran had enough humiliation? He got his answer when Jonny Tran got off the bike and took his helmet off. He put his hands up as if to tell the crew that he didn't come for beef. Dom got right in his face, almost nose to nose. "What the FUCK are you doin' here Tran?" He asked, the veins in his neck sticking out like they were gonna pop. "Business." "What fucking kind of business? I thought we finished whatever was between us." "My employer, Chris Malone wants to meet with you. NOW." "Go tell your "employer" that if he wants to talk to me he can come down himself. I ain't no fucking lap dog. Unlike some people I know." Dom said the last part looking Jonny up and down so he would get the point. Tran clenched his teeth, stopping himself from saying something he'd regret. "Fine. Just don't say I didn't warn you." "Whatever." Dom said as Tran made his way back to his ride. The crew came up behind Dom, still confused about what just happened. "What the hell was that about man?" asked Vince to his right. "Nothin'." Dom said and then went back to announcing the following races. The night went off without any more problems, the crew made about 25G's that night. When it was over, Vince, Leon, Edwin, Letty, and Mia went home but Dom said that he was gonna go work on his ride's brakes at the garage. ******************** I was ROYALLY pissed! Damn I hadn't realized that they had moved the races back to intersection of West and Logan, so I had to walk all the way there. Then when I did get there the races were over. I didn't get to see SHIT! Since I was pretty close to Dom's place I decided to walk there. That's probably where he was anyway. "Wonder how much money he made tonight?" I asked myself as I walked the streets with a BIG smile on my face. I know what racing does to Dom's libido.. ******************** Dom had been in the garage for about an hour when he decided to call Janet and tell her the good news about the races. The phone rang until the machine picked up so he hung up. "Where is she?" he asked himself. An half hour later it was close to 2 in the morning and Dom was just getting ready to leave. He went outside and locked up the garage. He didn't even hear the three guys come up behind him. Dom fought but he was just one and they were three. He blacked out when the butt of a gun hit the back of his head. When he woke up his head hurt like a motherfucker. He shook it so he'd be able to see if he could figure out where he was. He realized he was sitting and his hands were tied behind the chair, so were his feet. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You know, if I had figure it would have been this easy I would of never hurt Janet so bad." Chris said as he came outta the darkness with a baton in his hand. Rage boiled into Dom's blood. "FUCK YOU." Dom basically growled from the chair. "Now Now, Dominic. You know that if it's fuck me prick, it's fuck you too." Title: SPEED Author: Priscilla Chapter 18: How Do We Get Outta This One??? When I got to Dom's house I talked to Mia and the rest of the crew and asked them where Dom was. They said that he was at the garage, but I had stopped there on my way over and hadn't seen him. Then the bomb shell hit me: Letty was nowhere to be found either...."Could Dom be with her?" I asked myself. It wasn't that I didn't trust him it's just that there is NO denying Letty's beautiful and very slick. Just when I shook those thoughts outta my head, as if to answer my question, Letty walked through the front door. We locked eyes for five whole minutes. I don't know what came over me but I went over to her. "Letty do you know where Dom is?" came out of my mouth before I could think about what I was doing. "What the fuck do I look like to you? Dom's keeper? " she said. "Look. I didn't come for here for beef." I said warning her that she was stepping over the line. She got in my face and I pushed her back. "That's it bitch! You and me race now. Whoever wins gets Dom." she yelled from her place on the floor. I followed her outside, she got in her car and I got in mine. We drove side by side to West and Logan. When the street lights turned green we sped down the road, head to head. She pushed her shot of NOS and left me in the dust. But there was no WAY I was gonna loose Dom now. I pushed my shot of NOS and again we were head to head. As we both came down from the rush of the NOS systems she abruptly took a left turn leaving me to follow again. Then she did something completely retarded. She got out of her car and ran to one of the abandoned warehouses and closed the metal door behind her. I got out of my car and followed, glad I'd decided to bring my 45' Taukson with me. When I opened the door, I was met by complete darkness. I tried to listen for Letty but I heard nothing, add to the fact I couldn't see nothing either and I had a really big problem on my hands. I felt movement behind me but as I turned to face my attacker the side of my head met solid cold steel. Next thing I know, I'm tied to a chair facing a wall. I know that there's someone tied up to the back of my chair cause their fingers are grazing mine. God my head ached and it hurt to breathe. I had a really bad sense of deja vu as I looked around the warehouse. Then I heard the mechanical door open and close. I heard and felt as a bucket of cold water was dunked on the sleeping guy next to me. I could tell it was a guy from the cologne he was wearing. Dom wore the same one.......Dom? was Dom the guy next to me? "Oh God no." I silently pleaded as I saw Chris appear into my line of vision. "Well ain't this cute. Mr. and Mrs. Torreto tied up together." He said with a stupid smile on his face. I stopped breathing and I felt Dom do the same. Apparently he'd thought I was safe and far away from here instead of right behind him. "This is the last fucking straw Malone. What? You can't fight me like a man so you go after my woman. You're fucking pathetic." Dom growled from his seat. There was so much fury coming from him that he was pulling at his restraints, causing the ropes to tighten around my wrists. I saw the color rise in Chris's face but still he was smiling. Like he knew something we didn't. "OH I only FUCKED your woman once. The rest of the time I had another woman deal with her for me. Ever wonder who could of gotten into the garage to mess with the NOS system on your car the day Jesse almost died?.... Come here baby." He said holding out his hand. And then that's when Letty stepped out to him grabbing his hand in hers. I felt the numbness flow through Dom. So that's why she was constantly in my face....I thought to myself. "Why?" Dom practically whispered. He sounded so hurt and that bitch's smile just got bigger as she noticed Dom's pain and answered. "WHY? You wanna know why Dom? Because I spent most of my life trying to get you to notice me, to get you interested in ME, and you didn't even give me the time of day. Did you ever think of why I would want to learn so much about cars? TO IMPRESS YOU and then when I finally thought I had you, this BITCH comes and ruins EVERYTHING. and you leave me in the dust. THAT'S WHY." She said "So that's why you were always hangin' off my dick? Damn, I just thought you LIKED to be on your knees." Dominic said chuckling. Letty lost all control that exact moment. She came up to Dom and slapped him HARD. Then she did it again and again until Chris had to pull her back. That bitch was really lucky I was tied up right now........ "That's OK Dom. cuz I'll get even soon enough." She said smiling. "Remember that truck heist we were planning? Well Chris and I decided WE deserve it more. So OUR men will intercept the truck on it's way INTO L.A. leaving your little friends in the dust." She said "They won't even know what hit em'" Chris chimed in. It seemed like hours had passed as Chris and Letty continued to tell us about their plans, until it was finally time for them to get ready for the heist. How stupid could they be? Did they really think that me and Dom are just gonna sit there when they left us with NO supervision? "Dom." I whispered to him "Hmm?" He asked. I could tell he was close to passing out again. "We gotta get outta here NOW." "HOW?" He asked kind of sloppily like he was drunk. I sat there thinking about it. Then I saw the broken glass doors on the other side of the warehouse. "OK can you get up baby?" I asked him "I think. Yeah I can." "Ok, then when I count to three were gonna get up at the same time. Ready?" "Yeah." "Ok One. Two. Three." I said as we both rose up using our legs and leaning back against back for leverage. Our hands were tied behind our backs, but not our feet. So we made our way over to the broken glass pile. We sat on the floor still back to back and I grabbed a piece of glass with one of my hands. We put it between each other's backs as I moved it up and down on the rope that held our hands. "I hope this works, we gotta get outta here fast!" my mind screamed at me. Dom was slumping over behind me, his breathing becoming labored. "Dom!" I screamed trying to get him out of it. "Dom!" I didn't get no response. Shit now I had to work REALLY fast. Who knows what they put into his system. |
