Soundratck: El beso del final/ Cristina Aguilerahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBYPXUJiKpoChapter 1- 20 % Angel, 80% Devil“Never ever think about leaving me!” Leticia Ortiz whispered into her boyfriend’s ear after listening, once again, to his arguments about them separating to keep her safe.
He embraced her against his chest of steel, crushing her in a comforting way against his body as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“If you ever leave me, I swear that I’ll look for you and I’ll kick your ass when I find you!” She quietly said.
Dominic Toretto laughed and relaxed for the first time that evening and kissed Letty several times before saying. “I have no doubts about that, Baby!”
She kissed him again and nibbled on his ear. Dom caressed her dark curls and smirked as he said. “Behave yourself Letty!”
“Let’s get out of here, Dom!” Letty seductively said while pressing her body up against his.
Dominic couldn’t resist Letty. He never could. Never…since the first time he saw her! She was 20% angel, 80% devil, on the track, in bed and in his heart.
Leticia Ortiz was pure fire and leaving her would be the hardest thing that Dom would ever do in his entire life. He knew that without her he’d never feel complete, again. She would always be the missing piece…the part that propelled him forward.
Holding Letty close to him with her legs still wrapped around his body, he continued kissing her while he walked back to their room. He didn’t care about the malicious glares and smiles from the people who were having fun on the beach. He just needed to get to their room and make love to his woman one last time.
People at the beach party watched Dom pass with Letty in his arms, greeting and congratulating them because of the success of the last heist… and the money they had earned. But Dom was feeling empty because he was the only one that realized that he was going to leave his heart behind. Letty was his heart.
Once inside the bedroom they didn’t talk much. It would be easier if they didn’t talk and Dom wouldn’t have time to think about it what he was going to do and change his mind.
He placed her gently on the floor and led her slowly to the bed. Letty unbuttoned Dom’s shirt and lightly scratched his chest making him excited.
“Mr. Invincible!” She teased him.
Slowly he slipped her white blouse down her shoulders and then untied the loop of the black bikini top that she had been wearing underneath, and removed it completely. He held her close again, feeling her breasts caress his muscular chest. Dom wanted her desperately at the moment.
He needed her.
“Dom…” He heard her moan his name as he lay down with her on the bed, kissing her thighs and knees before removing her sandals.
Letty remained quiet as she watched Dom finish removing the rest of her clothing. He looked into her dark eyes and sensed at that moment that she suspected that something was wrong.
Dom felt guilty but he tried hard not to show it.
He removed her shorts and panties, sliding the clothing down her legs and to her feet. Dom stood for a few minutes admiring her nakedness, noting every detail of that body he loved.
Dom wants to record his Letty in his memory… the colour of her skin, her lips, her smile, her scent, everything!
Letty broke her silence in the bed and whispered. “Dom? What’s wrong, Baby?”
He didn’t answer… he just undressed and covered her small body with his. Letty relaxed when she felt him next to her. She loved feeling his strong body against hers because he made her feel safe.
“Baby? Are you really ok?” She repeated the question caressing his shoulders. “Are you still thinking about what we talked about back on the beach?”
“No.” He lied. “I was just thinking about how beautiful you are and how this night is going to be so special for us, Bella Mia. (my beautiful)
Dom kissed her to silence her suspicions. Letty wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her legs to accommodate him. Her knees caressed his thighs.
Dom moved his body above Letty’s. She moaned with their close contact and raised her hips up urging him to receive her. “I need you Dom…” She whispered. “I need you now!”
“I love you Letty… no matter what…Amore Mio (my love).” The guilt was tormenting Dom again.
“Don’t say that! Not that way!” She begged him.
“I just don’t want you to forget it, Baby.” He kissed her lips.
“Damn it Dom!” Letty exclaimed. “Shut up and make love to me! I told you that we’ll be together forever.” Tears were threatening to form in her eyes and Dom felt his heart break.
“Letty… please don’t…” He began to take her body, slowly.
Letty received him inside of her body with such pleasure that she grasped him closer to her. Dom moved his hips desperately against hers whispering words of love to her.
In his mind he was wondering if these were just excuses for Letty to forgive him about he was going to do.
Dom felt Letty reach her climax and cry out his name… he never wanted to forget this moment…the sound of her voice crying out for him! Dom had his release in silence, trying to recover his breath. Now it was really all over. Even so, Dom knew that his Letty would be fine when he left because she was Letty after all!
Later, after a shower together and a little dinner, Letty finally fell asleep in their bed holding Dom’s hand next to her breast, close to her heart and whispered, “Please don’t go!”
Dom kissed her forehead and checked the clock. The time had come. He got up out of the bed and put his clothes back on and placed his personal stuff into his backpack. Outside a soft, sad rain was beginning to fall.
Dom quietly looked at Letty sleeping, barely covered by the white sheet. He sat on a chair and remained watching her for a few moments… trying in his mind to say goodbye to her.
They had dreams and plans for their future together and now they’d never realize them… because of him! It was all Dom’s fault.
He finally stood up and placed his backpack on his back. It was time for Dom to leave.

Chapter 2 - The Package
Panama City, Panama
1 year later
“A car is a like a child.” Old Man Toretto used to tell his son when he was a young boy. He began teaching his son everything he knew about cars when he was just a little boy. Dom had learned these lessons early and soon, like his father, cars became his greatest passion.
Dom couldn’t imagine himself doing anything else in his life that didn’t involve working with cars or racing cars… but he’d just wished that that hadn’t involved breaking the law.
Life hadn’t been fair to Dominic Toretto in many ways, including the tragic death of his father. Because of his earlier upbringing, Dom had done everything he had to do to live his life with dignity. He didn’t care about the consequences of his actions.
All Dom ever wanted to do was to protect Mia, his baby sister, and give to her a decent life.
At least, Dom hadn’t failed in his promise to her. Mia wasn’t with him now as she had her own house and a job. She was safe. However, Letty was another story!
It had been one year since Dom had left her in The Dominican Republic. In that time he hadn’t received any news about her.
Dom had been very careful not to be found by anyone. Only Mia knew where he was hiding and she had strict orders to never reveal this secret to anyone… including Letty.
Dom had never stopped thinking about Letty. Not one single day! His decision to leave her, he’d felt, had been the best decision for both of them…he’d believed that deep down in his heart.
Letty was now free to continue on with her life without the complications of living with a man wanted by the law.
It was another routine morning in Panama City. Dom had been hiding there for almost ten months now. He’d spent some time hiding in a tiny little village in the Dominican Republic before leaving for Panama… so close but yet so far from Letty!
When Dom had arrived in Panama he had found work as a mechanic. He had rented a room and stayed there living a very simple and quiet life.
Occasionally, he would race but nothing big like in LA. He had to remain in hiding from the cops.
Dom didn’t know how long he would stay in Panama… he only knew that his instincts would tell him when it was time to leave.
Dom was working underneath a car when one of his boss’s children came running into the garage calling for him. “Tio!”(Uncle)
Dom had a good relationship with his boss and his boss’s five children. They all loved Dom like an uncle. “Que pasa, niño?” (What’s going on, boy?) Dom asked coming out from under the car.
At this moment, Dom realized that the boy was holding a medium sized package close to his chest. “What’s this, José?” Dom asked standing up.
“Esto es para ti, tio!”(This is for you, Uncle) The boy said in Spanish. “Tiene tu nombre escrito.” (It has your name written on it.)
Dom took the package and examined it. “Gracias, José.” (Thank you, José.) The boy smiled and left Dom alone in the garage.
The boy was right. Dom’s name and new address in Panama were written on the package. He suddenly became worried. The package had to be from Mia. She was the only person who knew where Dom was hiding. Something must have happened to her!
Dom hurriedly tore open the seal of the package with a knife. Inside the package was a piece of paper and a white teddy bear. Dom held the stuffed toy in his hand. He didn’t understand what the package meant and there was no return address.
He read the piece of paper: “Go back to Los Angeles. I would like to discuss issues that might be of interest to you. You won’t regret it - if you come back!” The letter was signed, Braga.
Dom frowned. This was all very strange. Who the hell was Braga? And how did he know that Dom was there? Could this package be a coded message? But from whom…Letty?
It could be a trap from the cops, too, but Dom had to figure out for himself what this package really meant.
Dom left the garage and went to the nearest public phone that he could find. It was located near a busy street full of people selling fruits and vegetables from tents.
Dom picked up the phone and dialed Mia’s number. His sister would definitely be surprised to receive a call from her brother after all of these months!
“Hello?” Mia’s soft voice answered the line.
“Mia… it’s me!” Dom quietly said.
“Dom? Oh My God Dom! Is really you? I’ve been so worried. I’ve wanted to call you so many times but you said that I couldn’t!” Mia excitedly exclaimed.
“I’m ok, Mia. What about you? How are you?” Dom asked.
“I’m good.” She said. “But alone…”
“I know Mia…but you know it’s best this way… for everyone! Besides, I don’t want to talk about it. I didn’t call about that, anyway. I wanted to know about you and…about Letty. Have you seen her?” Dom nervously asked.
“I haven’t seen Letty for almost a year now, Dom. She was staying with me after you left and then suddenly one day she said she had to leave. She promised to call me and give me her new address but she never did. So, I thought she was going to meet you somewhere and didn’t want me to know…” Mia sadly explained.
“Why would she come to meet me? Did you tell her where I was?” Dom worriedly asked.
“Of course not! Even after she begged me to. It was so hard lying to her, Dom.” Mia said.
Dom looked at the teddy bear that he still held in his hands and said to Mia, “I’m coming back to LA.”
“No! You can’t come back! The cops will catch you Dom!” Mia desperately pleaded with him to change his mind.
“I need to come back Mia and find Letty. I’m worried about her. I’ll see you in a few days.” He simply said and then hung up the phone.
There was something strange happening in LA. Even if was a trap he’d take the risk to make sure that Letty was ok.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dominican Republic
Letty took in a deep breath and counted the rest of the money that she had in her bag. Three thousand dollars…it wasn’t nearly enough! With so little money she wouldn’t be able to support herself for much longer in that country. Things were starting to get complicated.
She had decided that it was time to return to The United States and ask for help… even if she was afraid to go back there. The last time that Letty had been in L.A. she had been running from bullets and bad guys.
These same guys had stolen most of the money that Dom had left her. Letty sighed and set the money down on the coffee table in the small room where she had been living for the past few months.
She picked up her cell phone, a very old model…the only one that she could afford, and made a call. A female voice answered and Letty, speaking in Spanish, said, “Hola, soy yo. Tienes mi dinero? Como no tienes, mujer? Yo necesito este dinero. Quiero volver al Estados Unidos.”
(Hello, it’s me. Do you have my money? How come you don’t have my money, woman? I need this money! I want to get back to The USA.)
Letty paused to listen to what the woman on the other end of the phone was saying to her and then she replied in a very nervous and loud voice. “Pero como tu quieres que yo regrese a mi país con este dinero de mierda? Yo no puedo, Soledad. Yo he trabajado duro para ti y ahora necesito el dinero. La niña necesita muchas cosas. Tu lo sabes! Oh, no, no te perdono!Por favor, ayudame…está bien, voy esperar que llames. Pero no tardes. Yo necesito regresar al Estados Unidos.”
(But how do you expect me to get back to my country with this shit money? I can’t Soledad. I worked hard for you and now I need the money. The baby needs many things. You know this! Oh, no, no I don’t forgive you! Please, help me…ok, I’m going wait for your call but don’t take too long. I need to get back to The States.)
Letty hung up the phone and felt tears form in her dark eyes. However, a loud and desperate cry shook Letty out of her despair and she quickly wiped her tears away and resolved herself to take care of what needed her attention most at that moment.
Letty quickly jumped up off of the bed where she had been sitting and went to check in the bassinette that was sitting in the corner of the room near the window. In it a baby covered by a soft yellow blanket was crying.
Letty smiled and picked up her little bundle. She gently rocked the child in her arms and whispered, “Don’t cry, My Baby. Mama’s here, Sweet Caterina…”

Chapter 3 - Race or Die
Dominican Republic
1 year before
“Dom?” Were the first words that Letty spoke when she woke up the next morning and couldn’t find Dominic in the bed with her.
Rubbing her eyes, she sat in up in bed, suddenly feeling worried.
“Dom!” She called for him again looking towards the bathroom door, wondering if he was in the shower but she couldn’t hear the sound of running water.
Letty left the bed and walked towards to the bathroom still calling for Dom, but the bathroom was empty. She went back into the bedroom and pulled on her jeans, and flip-flops. Then she tied her long, dark hair back into a ponytail and left the room for a walk towards the empty beach outside. The morning was cloudy but the sun would be up soon.
Letty walked along the white sand, hoping to find Dom. She thought that maybe he was walking along the beach trying to put his thoughts in order but he wasn’t there.
The concern inside her grew even more and she returned to their bedroom…praying that he would be there waiting for her.
“No you bastard! You didn’t do this to me!” Letty said to herself as she looked in the closet. She was stunned to discover that all of Dom’s clothing and personal items were gone.
“Cabrón!” (Bastard!) She yelled in Spanish. Letty, then noticed a large bundle of money sitting on top of the coffee table. There were at least three packets of stacked dollar bills that he had left for her… a lot of money but Letty didn’t care about the money…she only wanted her man by her side!
It was never because of money that Letty broke the law… it was because of him! It was something that they did together and she was hoping that one day he would stop and they’d live a real life together. Finally! But that would never happen now because Dom had left her!
“Why Dom?” She screamed in a moment of fury…and despair. She angrily threw the money across the room, kicking the packs under the bed. Her whole body was shaking.
Dom had talked about the possibility of leaving her, but Letty wasn’t expecting that he would actually do it…especially in the middle of the night when she was sleeping! Coward!
Now Letty had no idea where he was going and she knew that if she called him on his cell that he wouldn’t answer her. Dom had made his decision and nothing would make him change his mind! Letty was smart enough to realize that.
“Oh Papi!” She lay down on the bed and cried.
Letty had never been the queen of drama for tears… but Dom leaving her had been a strong blow to her. She couldn’t imagine her life without him. They’d been together since she was sixteen years old. They had had many fights and break ups over the years but they always got back together… because they belonged together! That was what Letty believed…no knew….deep down in her soul.
Still crying, Letty buried her head deep into the pillow trying to alleviate the unbearable pain that she felt in her heart. That was when she felt something cold and hard under the pillow.
Letty picked up the object and realized that it was the heavy silver necklace and cross that Dom always wore. He’d left it for her… so that she’d never forget him.
She held the necklace tightly between her fingers and started to cry again. She didn’t want to leave her room that day…the last place that she felt close to Dom….not alone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Los Angeles, United States
6 weeks later
“FBI.” Letty quietly read the very large silver letters set onto the side of the cold looking brick building that housed The Headquarters of the FBI in Los Angeles.
The last six weeks that Letty had remained in The Dominican Republic without Dom had been incredibly hard for her. She couldn’t forgive him and was still in denial that he had actually left her. She understood his reasoning but she didn’t agree. She understood that he was afraid for her safety. He loved her and didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
For Letty that only left one solution.
The only way for them to ever be together again would be if Dom was pardoned by the law.
Dom needed to be a free man…not wanted by the cops. Then Dom and Letty could be left alone and live their lives together. There was only one person whom she thought could help her. The same person that was in part responsible for Dom being a fugitive now.
“Good morning.” She sweetly said to the officer sitting at the reception desk inside the building.
“Morning.” The officer politely answered. He subconsciously smoothed his silk tie and smiled up at Letty. He was interrogating her body with his eyes….from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes!
Letty smiled back at him. That morning she was dressed differently… for her. She was trying to portray herself as the respectable lady. She was wearing a yellow dress with delicate white sandals.
“How can I help you, Miss?” The officer gently asked.
Letty seductively put her fingers through her loose hair and said. “I’m looking for an old friend of mine. His name is Brian O’Connor.”
The man nodded when he heard the name she’d just spoken. “Well, he’s not here right now. He’s out of the office on business.” He replied.
“Oh dear…that’s too bad…” Letty said in a sad voice trying to gain some trust and empathy from the officer. “I haven’t seen him in five years now and I came all the way to LA just to talk to him. It’s urgent! Are you sure that you can’t help me Officer…” She read the name on his badge. “…Melbourne?”
The officer smiled again, thinking to himself that maybe Letty was interested in him. Realizing her victory, Letty manipulated him a little more. “Can I call you Allan?”
“Sure.” He said. “Well… maybe I can help you, Miss…?”
“Ortiz. Letícia Ortiz.” She said. “But my friends call me Letty.”
“Letty! Well maybe I can help you if you tell me what you want to talk to O’Connor about. He’s not exactly the model cop, you know?” Melbourne stated.
“Really?” Letty said impatiently. She just wanted the silly man to take her to talk to Brian.
“Yeah. I heard that he let a dangerous criminal escape five years ago and because of that he was dismissed from the police force. I have no idea how he got his badge back but…”
Letty quickly interrupted him before he could start talking again and continue to waste her time. “Well Allan, what I have to talk to Brian about has nothing to do with the police… actually it’s personal.”
“Really?” He asked disappointed thinking that Letty could be Brian’s ex-girlfriend.
“Yes, Brian and I...we need to talk, so…” She moved closer to him and seductively said “Maybe if you help me talk to Brian sooner, then I’ll be finished sooner… then maybe we can go out for a cup of coffee Allan!”
Melbourne was hopeful again. Looking around, he left his position at the reception desk and said to Letty. “Come with me, Miss.”

“Damn it!” Brian yelled when he arrived at the office full of agents…most of them pacing impatiently waiting for him.
He was upset about the case he’d been working on. The case involved an influential drug dealer named Arturo Braga. The FBI had been trying to capture him for over a year now and hadn’t made any significant progress.
The last information that Brian had received on this ruthless drug lord was that he used race car drivers to transport his product quickly and quietly over the border from Mexico.
Brian’s plan had been to infiltrate Braga’s organization as a driver. Brian’s superior had said that there was no way in hell that he would ever allow Brian to do this…someone else maybe…but never Brian.
Brian’s boss didn’t like him. That was obvious. He’d shared his opinion of Brian and why he felt Brian deserved to be kicked off the force and not allowed to return.
He told Brian that he had failed when he had infiltrated Toretto’s gang all those years ago. He had allowed himself to get too close to his suspects Dom, his sister Mia and the other drivers.
In the end, Brian had lost his prime suspect, his reputation and his job from the police force.
However, Brian had been given another chance…a police mission that he had successfully solved and he had worked hard ever since earning his way into joining the FBI.
Brian wanted his boss to change his mind. If he wouldn’t let Brian infiltrate Braga’s organization then somebody else had to. He just needed to find a driver good enough to infiltrate the organization.
Brian thought that his plan was perfect. Braga was always recruiting drivers… so it couldn’t be that difficult getting someone in there? Could it?!
He was so distracted thinking about these details that he didn’t realize Letty’s presence until she actually spoke to him.
“You kiss your mama with that mouth O’Connor?” Letty asked grinning. Brian heard the familiar voice coming from the corner of the room and turned to see Letty sitting in a chair with her arms folded across her chest.
Five years had come and gone and he could see the maturity in her face now, especially since she was dressed so beautifully. However, her “I don’t give a damn look” that he remembered was still on her face.
“Letty?” He said, surprised to see her. “What are you doing here? It’s been a long time!” He quickly walked over to her and gave her a big bear hug and they briefly embraced.
“I need your help.” She quietly said as she sat down again. “It’s Dom.” He pulled up a chair and sat down in front her listening to what she had to say.
“Dom left. I don’t know where. He just disappeared one night. He was afraid that something might happen to me if we stayed together.” Letty quietly began.
“Ok. Back up.” Brian said. “First, tell me where you and Dom have been hiding all of this time?”
“After you let him get away, Dom met me in Mexico. I was with Leon. We stayed there for a long time quietly living our lives. But I knew Dom wasn’t comfortable with our situation. He was becoming distressed…always on guard. Then, we went to The Dominican and he left me there all by myself. I know he wants to protect me but I can’t live without him Brian. This isn’t right!”
Brian understood. He understood Letty completely, because he felt exactly the same way about Mia. Mia was on Dom’s side and Dom was on the wrong side of the law. Brian’s predicament with his colleague’s on the police force was volatile after he let Dominic escape. He had to give Mia up.
“Do you have any idea where Dom could be?” Brian asked.
“No man.” She solemnly said. “Do you think that if I had a clue where Dom was that I’d be here talking with you!”
“What about Mia? She’s his sister she must be in contact with him?” He offered.
“I’m going to see her soon but I know she won’t tell me where Dom is, Brian. Like you said they’re brother and sister. They’re very close…and loyal to each other.” Letty explained.
“How long has it been since he left?” Brian asked.
“Six weeks. We were in The Dominican Republic. One day he just left. I contacted Vince and Leon to help me find him but we failed. When Dom doesn’t want to be found…he won’t be. Letty said.
“What do you want me to do Letty?” Brian asked. “I’d like to help you… but I work for The FBI…I’m under their jurisdiction… I have my hands tied. They want Dom…”
“They want Dom because of you, God Damn it! You brought the cops to our doorstep!” She got up out of the chair and gave him that angry glance that he remembered so well from five years ago.
Brian knew that Letty loved Dom and that she would likely do anything for him. And he knew, also, that Letty was an excellent racer. She was part of Dom’s team stealing trucks.
Letty was a strong and courageous woman that wasn’t afraid of any obstacle that got in her way. Suddenly, the arrival of Letty at The FBI seemed like such perfect timing!
“Dom needs to come home but he can’t come home with the cops trying to catch his ass. He must be forgiven. He needs to deal with this mess with the law! Don’t you understand O’Conner? You get dirty..then you clean up, got it?” She pointed her finger at Brian and then slumped back down into the chair. Her dark eyes were sad, begging him to help her.
Brian was thinking about what Letty was offering him. Things became clearer in his mind. If Letty cooperated with him in bringing down Braga’s Cartel, then maybe he could do something for her…for Dom… to bring him home. A deal. He would make a proposal to The FBI brass and ask for a deal for Dom in exchange for Letty’s help.
Then his two biggest problems would be solved. Braga would be arrested and put out of commission….and Dom could return to LA without worrying about the cops getting him.
During the time that Brian had spent with Dominic in the past, he’d learned to admire and respect him. Since then, Brian had had to live with the guilt of being the one to cause Dom to run from the police.
Mia never forgave him. Would she forgive him if he brought Dom back to her after five years?
“I think that maybe there is something that we can do Letty.” Brian said.
“What do you have in mind Brian?” Letty asked intrigued.
“Would you do anything for Dom?” Brian asked.
“Of course I would! I’ll do anything. That’s the reason I’m here, man!” Letty said.
“Ok. I’ll tell you my plan.” Brian began.

Chapter 4 - Vaya con Dios
Letty ran her fingers along the hard, cool surface of the car, enjoying the texture that mentally brought back images of Dom. It was as if Letty touching the car, made her feel somehow closer to Dominic again.
She could imagine feeling the contractions of Dom’s smooth muscles under her fingertips. Letty could almost feel the beat of his heart when she opened the hood of the car and listened to the powerful sound of the engine.
The car originally belonged to Dominic’s father and was almost totally destroyed after the crash five years ago when Dom was running from the police… from Brian O’Connor. Although the car was a real mess Letty was confidant that she could repair it.
“Who’s there?” Letty jumped as she heard a soft voice followed by the sound of high heeled shoes entering the garage.
“Letty!” Mia shouted, surprised to see her friend after such a long time.
“What’s up girl?” Letty said as they hugged each other tightly.
“When did you get back?” Mia asked excitedly.
“Today.” She answered. “I arrived very early this morning.”
“It’s good to see you.” Mia said. “How long has it been? Five years? You look gorgeous Letty!”
Letty laughed and said. “Stop! No need to try flattering me!”
Mia smiled and said. “You must be tired.”
“Actually, I’m starving!” Letty confessed. “I’d really love some of your home made spicy fried chicken! You make it the best.”
“I’ll make it for you.” Mia said smiling at her. She looked around for Letty’s luggage and seemed confused when she couldn’t find anything and asked. “Where are your things?”
“I put them in Dom’s old bedroom. I hope that was ok?” Letty said.
“Sure.” Mia felt uncomfortable because she could see in Letty’s eyes how much she was hurting because Dom had left her.
Yes, Mia knew that he’d left her about six weeks earlier and she, also, knew where he was hiding. However Dom was emphatic and he ordered...no begged his sister not tell anyone where he was.
“I’ll stay here and work on the car while you make our lunch.” Letty quietly said.
“Ok. I promise I won’t be long.” Mia stated. As Mia was leaving the garage Letty called to her and said. “Mia…”
Mia stopped and nervously looked over at Letty.
“Is he alright?” Letty asked. She had to ask that question…and Mia realized it, too. Letty needed to know.
“Yes” Mia sadly said and turned and left the garage.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A few days later, Letty was still anxiously waiting for Brian’s call. She was really looking forward to hearing from him after their conversation at The FBI Headquarters.
Brian’s plan was for her to become a double agent in Braga’s organization. Letty knew she was an exceptional driver and was very optimistic about the success of this plan but she, also, realized that it was very dangerous.
However, Leticia wasn’t afraid, especially when taking this risk meant that she was actually doing something concrete to bring Dom back home. She was doing this for him. To bring him back to her. To bring him back to all of them.
To make the wait less agonizing, and to conceal from Mia her anxiety at having to wait for the plan to be finalized, Letty spent her days fixing Dom’s old car. She needed to keep busy.
Every day she fixed something different. The engine was still making a strange noise but it was improving every day with Letty’s adjustments. In a few more days she’d take the car to the track and give it test run. Her biggest project would be to change the car’s system over to an electronic fuel injection. If she had time she’d get this done…for Dom.
Letty finished her tinkering under the car’s hood and decided that that was enough for the day. It was strange how she’d been feeling so tired these days. Maybe it was because of the anxiety of waiting for Brian’s plan to come together?
She stood beside the car and looked at Dom’s necklace shimmering from the car’s mirror where she’d hung it when she’d started working on the car.
“Dom you bastard! I miss you so much.” She sighed talking to herself.
Suddenly, the sound of her cell phone brought Letty back to reality and she quickly picked it up and looked at the display. She smiled. It was Brian, finally!
“Hey Letty!” He said on the other end of the line.
“Hey!” She said.
“We’re on for tonight. You ready?” Brian asked.
“Always.” Letty confidently replied.
“Meet me in my apartment in two hours. I need to talk to you first.” Brian stated.
“Ok.” Letty said and hung up the phone before Mia walked into the garage.
“Hey! Are you hungry?” She sweetly asked. “I was thinking of ordering a pizza for dinner tonight and then maybe we could watch a movie.”
“Don’t worry about me tonight, Mia. I have to go out.” Letty simply said.
“Where are you going?” Mia asked.
“I have something to do.” Was all Letty said and then she smiled at Mia and left the garage.
Exact two hours later she was in Brian’s apartment. Her hands were really perspiring. It was the first time she was feeling nervous about doing something like this. Maybe it was because this was the first time she was planning on doing something so dangerous without Dom. Of course, this was, also, the first time she would be working as a spy for the police.
Brian showed her a small microphone and placed it under her black leather jacket. “Do I really need this?” She protested.
“Sorry, but this is the only way to know for sure where you are at all times. Our only way of protecting you” Brian said.
“Okay man. Besides pretending to be a bitch crazy about money… what else should I do?” Letty nervously asked.
Brian smiled. “Ok, that’s the spirit! Now listen to me carefully. We recently arrested a guy named Lover Boy.”
Letty frowned and said. “This stupid name supposed to mean something to me?”
“This guy is the one that chooses the drivers for Braga. We made him put your name on his short list… to race tonight.” Brian explained.
“Ok. So all I have to do is win this race to get into Braga’s organization?” Letty grinned.
“Exactly.! Then you’ll give us all the information you can gather to get this bastard! Lets go!” Brian said.
Letty followed him out of the apartment and they took the elevator to the ground floor. Downstairs in the garage was a very cool and very hot 1970 fully restored Plymouth.
Letty’s eyes were gleaming. “This is your car?” Brian smiled at her and cockily said. “I chose it myself and I made a few modifications for you…”
“Son of a Bitch!” Letty exclaimed. “This is better than my old civic. How did you get this O’Connor?”
“Being a cop has its advantages!” Brian smirked. “We got this car almost destroyed. The owner was loaded and practically totaled it. The guy was fine but he lost his car to the cops and when I saw this sweet little thing in the impound yard…well I thought it looked like a car that you might appreciate.”
“Ok, I love this car!” She said smiling like a child with the new toy.
Brian handed her the keys and seriously said. “Letty….please be careful.”
“No worries. I’m a grown up girl Brian, and I’m going to kick these guys’ asses!” She grinned back at him.
“Here’s the address!” Brian said as he handed Letty a piece of paper. She handed it right back to him without reading it and said. “Come on, man! What kind of a racer I would be if I didn’t know where all of the important races were?”
She got into the car and started the engine. Brian stood and watched her quickly drive away, squealing the tires as she burned up the street.
In his mind, Brian prayed that Dom would forgive him for involving Letty in that dangerous mission.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Letty was feeling at home behind the wheel until she arrived at the place where the race would begin.
She realized that now she was a spy…amongst enemies…she felt like a little lamb in the wolves den. She didn’t feel as safe as she used to with Dom at her side.
In one way, it felt like old times because of the crowds of people on the track, laughing, dancing and talking. So many songs were playing at the same time that it was hard to focus on any of them.
The men were dressed in their fancy gear, oozing money and power. They were surrounded by hot metal and hot scantily clad women. They were all crazy for the race and the prospect of blood on the track.
Letty got out of her car and deliberately placed one of her legs high on the hood of her car in a seductive way, pretending she was adjusting her black boots. She wanted to be noticed. It was part of her plan.
Soon she realized male eyes were watching her and she smiled seductively trying to tease them while she tied her hair back in a ponytail.
“Hey baby.” A tall, skinny man said as he approached her with a confidant smirk on his face. The man was dressed brighter than Lisa Minelli and he had a dumb look on his face. He wore a ridiculous looking cowboy hat that didn’t work with his outfit or his personality.
“What’s up?” Letty asked.
The man crossed his arms over his chest in a weak attempt to show off the muscles that he didn’t have. He stood there for a moment and then said. “I’m Dwight and you?”
“Letty.” She replied looking around, trying to pinpoint someone who could tell her something about the race.
“You look so hot, baby.” He drawled as he stared at her ass.
Letty felt her stomach feel sick as she watched him undress her with his eyes. He was so disgustingly obvious.
“I’m sorry but I can’t say the same for you, man.” She smirked back at him.
He laughed. He had an annoying little laugh that sounded like the snort from a dirty pig.
“Mmm… so you’re a tough girl, huh? That’s not a problem for me, baby doll! Papa Dwight loves angry women.” He cooed.
Now Letty was the one laughing. “Okay Papa Dwight, so you think you can handle me? Great! But I came here interested in racing… not romance! Sorry. Can you tell me who I can talk to about this race?”
“You can talk to me, sexy woman.” He said. “What do you want to know? Who the best racer is tonight? It’s me baby bunny!” He grinned and licked his lips at her.
“You don’t understand me, man. I’m asking about the race because I’m going to drive tonight!” Letty firmly stated.
“What?” Dwight asked not able to conceal his shock. “An angel like you is going to compete for a place on Braga’s team?” He gave another of his nervous, annoying laughs.
“You got a problem with that?” Letty dangerously asked.
“I hope not.” A female voice said from behind him. “After all… a woman can race just as good as any man… sometimes even better!”
Dwight turned around and smiled at the woman. Letty looked at her. She was beautiful, tall, slim and had long dark hair. She was definitely Latin, her accent sounded Brazilian.
“Hello Gisele.” Dwight said. “This race is taking too long to start. Did Braga cancel the race tonight because he decided that I’m the best driver for the job?”
The woman smiled and said. “I heard that when a man is overly confidant, this means that he is hiding his lack of performance in bed.”
Letty laughed out loud and Dwight felt humiliated. Before the two women could say any more insulting things about him he tipped the rim of his ridiculous hat and walked away.
Alone with Letty, Gisele asked. “So you want to drive for Braga?”
“Yeah. That’s kind of why I’m here.” Letty impatiently informed her.
“Who sent you?” Gisele asked.
“Lover boy.” Letty replied.
“He never disappoints Braga. Follow me!” Gisele said.
Letty followed Gisele into a two story, brick building. The woman took her to a room where nine men were waiting. Letty suspected that they all seemed like potential drivers. She sat in a chair a little away from the men as Gisele left the room.
One of the drivers, a young man with a beautiful face and long dark hair whispered to Letty. “I don’t understand why all the mystery?”
“What do you mean?” Letty asked.
“I’m talking about Braga.” The young man said. “Nobody has ever seen him… and nobody has any idea who he is.”
“Really?” Letty urged the man to talk.
“Yeah! The man has his people find the drivers for him but he never shows himself to them…or so I hear. But I don’t care about this shit, you know? The man pays!” He looked over at Letty with interest and offered his hand out to her: I’m Diogo by the way.”
“Letty” She said shaking hands with him.
“Well Letty, hopefully Braga isn’t Dracula and demands our blood when the job is done!”
She laughed, pretending to be relaxed on the outside, but inside her stomach was nervously contracting. She’d been feeling sick the last few days. She deduced it to stress. She thought that things were becoming increasingly too much for her to handle.
At that moment, Gisele came back into the room followed by two men. One of them was tall and black, with a face that reminded her of a bad guy from a bad movie. His face was full of scars.
The other man was Latin, was short and wore a tacky shirt with gawdy designs and dragons on it, tight jeans and crocodile boots. He had a malicious grin on his greasy little face.
“You all know why you’re here, don’t you, cabróns?” (bastards). The shorter man asked before he realized Letty’s presence. “Oh perdon cabróns y señorita!”( Sorry lady!)
Everyone began talking at the same time but the man raised his hand up in a gesture to silence them.
“I’m Ramon Campos and I’m here to recruit the best drivers for Braga. But like I said earlier…only the best drivers will be chosen. Tonight I’ll choose two drivers.” He announced.
The irritating Cowboy that Letty had spoken to earlier entered the room and asked Campos a million and one questions trying to get an answer as to why the race was delayed so long. Campos shut him down and the cowboy sighed and slumped back down in his chair.
Gisele gave all of the drivers a GPS.
“Listen to the GPS. Go where it tells you to go. That’s it!” Campos said. “The race will consist of eight grueling kilometers The first two drivers to finish will work for Braga.”
“The streets will be closed for eight kilometers?” A driver asked.
“The streets won’t be closed.” Gisele explained. “You have to be careful of the civilians and get to where you are told to go… faster than anyone else!”
“Who wants to quit?” The tall man with the scarred face asked. His smile was ice cold.
“What are we waiting for?” Letty asked holding the GPS in her hand.
The drivers gathered at the track and waited for departure. In the end, only six drivers would race that night. Three quit. Amongst the remaining drivers were Dwight and Diogo Muñoz, the young man Letty had talked to earlier.
She was getting in her Plymouth when she heard Gisele voice right behind her saying. “I admire a woman who enjoys a challenging race. I wish you good luck.”
Letty raised her eyebrow and said. “Thanks!”
“Vaya con Dios.”(Go with God) Gisele said.
Inside the car, Letty turned on the GPS and waited for the instructions to appear on the screen.
The race finally began. It was crazy and intense. All of the drivers wanted a place in Braga’s organization. Letty was no different than any other driver. The other drivers didn’t treat her any differently either.
She needed to infiltrate the organization, get the information she needed for Brian, and clear Dom’s name. Then everything could be like it was before. Dom and Letty could be together again and live their life together.
Of course there would still be racing action like they used to do but no more illegal activities! They had money now to invest in a legal business. Maybe another garage or something like that? So much for her to think about… but now wasn’t the time.
The GPS guided the racers through some busier streets of Los Angeles, and the competition was heavy. Dwight tried to take Letty out early in the race several times but she outmaneuvered him and continued to keep her distance from him.
“Stay way from me you asshole!” She yelled as he hit her car again with his.
“F*ck you bitch!” Dwight shouted.
Letty accelerated her Plymouth and darted out ahead of him, passing other drivers. Dwight tried to get her, again, but Diogo purposefully rammed his car.
“Let the lady go, you bastard!” Diogo shouted.
“Son of a Bitch!” Dwight yelled but he couldn’t catch Diogo who accelerated in front of him.
Meanwhile, Letty was leading the race. There was less than a kilometer to arrival. Diogo was right behind her in his powerful red Chevy.
“Now!” Letty said to herself and activated the nitrous oxide system of the car. The engine fired in a way that she had never experienced before… even with her vast racing history. “Brian….what the hell did you put in this car?”
Letty held onto the steering wheel with all of the strength that she had left in her. It didn’t take long and she had crossed the finish line… victorious. She had never deviated from the streets and had followed the GPS’s instructions unlike some of the others drivers.
“You have reached the final destination. Congratulations.” A female voice in the GPS screen announced.
The second driver to arrive was Diogo. One of the other drivers had been killed during the race and another had been seriously hurt. This reaffirmed in Letty’s mind the kind of people that she was dealing with.
Dwight was the last to arrive. He wasn’t hurt but he was furious to be left behind and shook his finger at Letty and screamed. “You bitch! No woman will beat me in a race…ever! So let’s go again and I’ll show you who’s the boss! Then I’ll spank your sweet little ass!”
“Better watch your own ass, cowboy!” She screamed back at him and said. “Do you know what they do with guys like you in prison? If you ever come near me again - I’ll make you find out first hand. Don’t mess with me man!”
Campos, Gisele and the tall man approached them.
“You had your chance Dwight. You blew it. Try again next time!” Campos said smiling.
Dwight walked away furious. Diogo approached the group, too.
“Excellent!” Campos said. “You two now work for Braga! Be ready. You’ll receive a call from the GPS when you’re needed.”
Campos left with the tall man with the scarred face. Then Gisele motioned for Letty and Diego with her finger to listen to her. “The GPS works like a beeper. When you’re needed the beeper will page you and tell you what to do. I’ll see you soon.”
She quickly left in her own car.
After Gisele had left, Diogo smiled at Letty and said. “I think we need to celebrate our victory. Do you want to have a drink with me Letty?”
“Yeah, a drink would be nice but…” Letty began.
“But…” Diogo persisted.
“Just remember, cause I agree to have a drink with you doesn’t mean that I’m going to end up in your bed!”
Diogo laughed and said. “Point taken.”
“You still interested in that drink then?” She asked doubtful.
“Yeah. Sure.” He said leading her in the direction of a nearby bar.

Chapter 5 - The Frontier
The sound of loud music and the smell of cigarette smoke inside the bar caused great discomfort to Letty. She couldn’t remember feeling like this in a bar before. It was common for her to go to bars or dance clubs after races with Dom. Maybe she was uncomfortable because this time Dom wasn’t there with her?
Letty was a very independent woman. She was used to taking care of her herself anytime and anyplace but Letty couldn’t stop herself from feeling empty in a place like that because Dom wasn’t by her side. She still had a hard time believing that he’d left her.
Diogo Muñoz was a nice guy and Letty was really enjoying talking with him… but she definitely wasn’t interested! Everything she wanted at that moment was to go back home. She already had what she was there for….a way to infiltrate Braga’s organization. But she couldn’t just leave the party or her new friend might suspect something.
They had to push through people to get to the bar and order their drink. “What do you want to drink, Chica?” Diogo asked.
“I’d like a corona please.” Letty answered smiling. She was trying hard to hide the nausea she was feeling because of the cigarette smoke from a man smoking a cigar next to her.
“Two coronas.” Diogo asked the bartender. He took the two bottles of beer from the bartender and handed one to Letty saying. “To Braga! And to all of the money that we’re going to make working for him!”
Letty toasted with him before she sipped her own beer. But soon she realized that the beer was a very bad idea. Letty immediately felt her stomach churn and she grabbed on to the edge of the bar go try to contain her composure and avoid vomiting.
“Are you, ok?” Diogo asked noticing her discomfort.
Letty took in a deep breath and said. “I’m ok man… I’m sorry….but I really need to go now!” She placed the beer on the counter.
“Do you really have to go?” He asked disappointed. “Why? We just got here!”
“Sorry… but I have to meet someone.” Letty quickly made up her excuse to get out of there.
“Boyfriend… or husband?” Diogo asked.
“I’m still thinking about it.” She smirked trying to look normal again. Apparently it worked because Diogo smiled back at her.
“All right. Good talking with you Letty. I think we’ll see each again soon, right?” Diogo looked hopeful.
“Yeah, man! When duty calls!” Letty said smiling back at him and walked away.
She rushed trying to get the hell out of there. The nausea was agonizing and she quickly pushed past people who were dancing and kissing on the dance floor. She needed to get to the ladies room.
When she arrived in the ladies room, Letty almost didn’t have time to remove the microphone that Brian had placed in her jacket. She didn’t want him hearing her vomit. Then she entered one of the stalls and proceeded to vomit all of the contents of her stomach into the toilet.
A short, young woman, with red dyed hair, wearing a shiny orange dress and white cowboy boots came into the ladies room and noticed Letty vomiting. “Hey girl! You ok?” She curiously asked.
Letty nodded but when she tried to get up her legs failed her. The girl helped her to get up and walked her to the sink. Letty washed her mouth out and splashed water on her face. She remained quiet for a while praying that the bad sensation of nausea was over.
The young woman got a paper towel and dampened it under the faucet and gave it to Letty and said. “Here. Put this on your forehead. It will help.”
“Thanks.” Letty said feeling a little better.
“My name is Suki.” The young woman offered.
“Letty.” She replied.
“I saw you race. You were amazing. You rock girl!” Suki excitedly said. Letty smiled weakly at her.
“I’m a racer too, but I wouldn’t dare risk racing for Braga’s team.” Suki said.
“Why?” Letty asked. She was very interested about what this woman had to say about Braga.
“Because I heard weird things happen to his drivers.” Suki replied.
“What?” Letty asked.
“A few guys that worked for him have disappeared. People say that Braga finished them off. They’re never seen again. Do you know what I mean?” Suki asked.
“Really?” Letty asked tossing the paper towel in the trash. She was feeling better now.
“Look… I don’t want to butt into your business girl, but I think you should be careful.” Sukie warned her.
“Thanks for the warning, Suki. And thanks for your help, too.” Letty smiled.
“No problem.” Suki said.
Letty started to leave the ladies room thinking about what Suki had told her. She thought that this information could prove useful to Brian. The nausea and having to go to the ladies room had surprisingly been useful in the end.
But before Letty left Suki asked: “Are you sure you feeling ok?”
Letty frowned. “Yeah…why do you ask?”
“Well, because you still seem so pale…” Suki said.
“I’m feeling better. Really. I think it was the beer.” Letty tried to reassure her.
“It could be.” Suki said. “But I had a friend who used to come to watch the races every night. Bars were like her second home. Then she started to become pale like you are now and she couldn’t handle the smell of beer and smoke. She was always vomiting, too.”
“Did she figure out what the problem was? Maybe she was worried about something.” Letty asked.
“Oh yes. She found out! That’s for sure! And it wasn’t nerves or being worried about something.” Suki answered. “It was baby stuff, you know? She was pregnant and that was the reason she was sick all the time.” Suki finished.
After leaving the bar and getting in to her car, Letty was still thinking about what Suki had told her. Before hearing Suki’s shocking statement, pregnancy hadn’t even been a consideration as to what had been going on with her. Letty was in shock at the possibility.
“No! This is impossible!” She said to herself.
It had been six weeks since Dom had left her. The last time they made love was the night before he left. She had always been careful to avoid a pregnancy. The life they’d been living for the last five years would make it nearly impossible to take care of a baby. Letty thought that she could never jeopardize a baby by racing through the streets at 100 miles an hour.
However, even with safety precautions taken, accidents could still happen. Why was this happening to her now? Just when Dom had left her and she was involved in Brian’s investigation to set Dom free?
“Holy shit!” She screamed angry and nervous. “Oh! No way can I be a mother. What am I going to do?”
Her cell phone rang inside of her jacket and Letty took in a deep breath, trying to calm down. It had to be Brian wanting to know why she had taken off the microphone. Her fingers were trembling as she removed the phone from her pocket and looked at Brian’s name on the display.
Letty couldn’t give up now. She was so close to finding out important information about Braga’s cartel… and clear Dominic’s name. “Hey!” She said when she heard Brian’s desperate voice on the other end of the line.
“Damn it Letty! What the hell’s going on? I was worried about you! Why’d you take off the microphone?” He shouted at her.
“I’m ok, man! I took off the mike because the race was over. I thought that if I kept walking around with that damn thing on in Braga’s territory that I’d be caught and then we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.” Letty tried to explain and reassure him.
“All right.” He said. “Cool that you’re ok Letty and I’m glad you’re on Braga’s team. You did good. You don’t have to worry about the risks… we’ll be covering you the entire time.”
“Brian… I got important information for you that I found out after I took off the microphone.” Letty stated.
.
“I’m listening.” Brian said.
“A girl inside the ladies room told me to be careful around Braga. She said that the drivers that work for him usually disappear after their first mission. They aren’t seen again.” Letty explained.
“Makes sense.” Brian said. “Two FBI agents that got onto his team were found dead.”
“What?” Letty was shocked with that revelation. “When were you thinking of telling me this Brian?”
“I’m sorry for not telling you this before, but we didn’t know if they were murdered because it was part of the mission or because they were discovered. This is something we’ll likely never know.” Brian declared.
He remained quiet for a few moments before saying. “Look… maybe it’s better you leave the organization? I’m really worried about you getting involved in something so dangerous…”
“F*ck you Brian!” She said. “Do you think I’m going to quit now? I’m in this until the bitter end!”
“I know… but I want you to be careful, ok?” Brian said.
Now she was giggling and said. “Shit, Brian! Are you afraid of Dom kicking your ass if something ever happened to me?”
Brian became annoyed. “Of course not. Take care, Letty. Keep in touch!”
Letty hung up the phone and drove back to Mia’s house. She decided that she wouldn’t think about her supposed pregnancy just yet.
Like she told Brian, she’d finish what she started. After this was all over then she could think about what to do.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was very early in the morning but Mia couldn’t sleep. She’d had another nightmare about Dom being arrested by the police and being taken back to Lompoc. Mia couldn’t imagine a worse fate for her brother than to return to Lompoc Prison.
Mia rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed trying to forget the bad dream that she had just had. She wanted to call Dom but she knew that he wouldn’t like it especially… because Letty was there.
When she felt better after her dream, Mia got up to begin her day. It was Saturday. She didn’t need to do a shift at the hospital that day. She’d been working as a nurse and studying medicine since Dom and Letty had left LA.
Mia put on her mother’s old robe, faded and with yellow flowers on it, and walked towards the kitchen. A cup of coffee would help her wake up and send away the bad aura of her nightmare.
However, when she walked down the hall she heard Letty in the bathroom coughing and vomiting. She was worried about her and knocked on the door and said. “Letty, are you ok?”
“Yeah!” She said but then she was vomiting again.
“No, it doesn’t sound you’re ok.” Mia insisted. “Open the door and let me help you.”
“No. I’ll be fine! I just need that chamomile tea that only you know how to make. Could you make a cup for me?”
“Of course I can.” Mia said and quickly left for the kitchen.
Ten minutes later Letty arrived in the kitchen wearing one of Dom’s old shirts. It was so long on her tiny frame that it came down past her knees. She was as white as a ghost and had dark circles around her eyes.
Mia handed her the cup of tea and Letty sipped a little at a time. Mia then got a package of crackers and put them on the kitchen table in front of Letty.
“Here! Crackers can help to calm an upset stomach.” Mia nervously said.
Letty thanked her and ate a cracker and sipped more tea.
“How long have you been sick?” Mia asked.
“I felt sick just today.” Letty lied.
Mia pulled up a chair and sat in front of Letty, facing her and said. “Really? What about yesterday and the day before yesterday? I’m afraid that my cooking is causing you an intestinal infection or something!”
Letty sipped her last bit of tea and lowered her head to avoid looking at Mia and said. “You don’t need to worry. I’ll be fine!”
Letty was about to get up out of the chair when Mia held her by the arm. Sometimes Letty forgot that Mia could be as persuasive as her brother. “Letty…are you pregnant?” She got to the point.
“God Damn it, Mia! Don’t ask me that question!” Letty yelled turning back to Mia.
“Oh Letty… I need to know… please!” Mia’s eyes were full of tears now. “Are you pregnant by my brother?”
“I don’t know.” Letty finally answered looking nervous.
“You need to take a pregnancy test. I can go to the drugstore with you to buy one. Heck…I’ll go for you!” Mia insisted.
“I’m not going to take any test!” Letty nervously answered.
“Letty, don’t be so stubborn! Not this time! We’re not kids anymore and if you’re going to have a baby, my brother n…”
“Your brother what…?” Letty angrily asked. “If I’m going to have a baby you’ll do what? Are you going to call Dom? Don’t you think it would be better if you tell me where is he first?”
“I can’t.” Mia quietly said.
“You can’t or you won’t?” Letty taunted. “Whether I’m pregnant or not… it’s none of Dom’s business since he dumped me. He made his choice. I’ll assume this responsibility on my own, Mia. I have to.”
“No! I can help you. This baby will be my niece or nephew!” Mia insisted.
“Let’s stop talking about a baby that we don’t even know exists!” Letty snapped.
Letty walked down the hall back to Dom’s bedroom. She needed to be alone for a while. Mia didn’t follow her.
Later, Mia saw her dressed in her jeans, a t-shirt and jacket, ready to go out and asked. “Where are you going, Letty?”
“Out.” That’s all she said as she left the house without any explanation to Mia.

Letty drove for a long time with no destination until she stopped in front of a drugstore. Mia was right, even if she was annoying sometimes!
Letty did need to take a pregnancy test and find out exactly what she was risking on that mission to bring Dom back.
She got out of the car carrying the GPS that Giselle had given to her night before. She needed to be ready if she was contacted by Braga. Once in the drugstore, she grabbed the first pregnancy test that she saw. She paid for it and went to the ladies room in the back of the store.
Letty did the test and waited impatiently for the few minutes that it took to show her result. The test couldn’t be wrong…could it? Two pink lines. She was pregnant!
Letty moved her trembling fingers through her hair. She wanted to scream! But there was nothing she could do about it now. She could repeat the test but her gut instinct told her that it would have the same result. No matter how many times she repeated it…she would still be pregnant!
“What am I going to do?” She said with tears streaming from her dark eyes.
Suddenly the GPS went off. Letty quickly removed it from her black leather jacket “Showing coordinates…” A woman’s voice on the GPS sounded, and an upload window started counting from 0 to 100%.
If she wanted an answer about what to do - Letty just got it when the GPS called her. She needed to finish that mission, get the evidence to Brian and then she could think about the baby she was carrying. Dom would come back to her. How would he react when he knew he was going to be a dad?
Letty left her thoughts for another time. She had work to do. She called Brian and told him she has just been contacted.
“Don’t forget about the microphone!” He said. “Please Letty… don’t go anywhere without the microphone. It’s, also, the only way to track where you are.”
“I got it!” She said going back to her car. An hour later she was in a huge warehouse across the city.
All the drivers were checked in and Letty had no choice but to take off her microphone and destroy it. Braga’s men were searching for electronic devices like microphones and tracking devices so Letty had to dump hers quick. Brian would kill her for this but if the microphone was discovered, Braga’s men would kill her for real.
During the time that the drivers were being checked, black bags were being placed in their cars. Letty had no idea what the contents of the bags were but she suspected that they were drugs.
After the inspection, Campos sent the drivers to drive into a semi trailer. Letty thought that it was very strange but she didn’t question anything. She knew better!
The journey was extremely long and uncomfortable and she was beginning to get really worried when the truck finally stopped. The drivers were instructed to exit the truck. Giselle was waiting for them and instructed the drivers to follow Phoenix.
“Where are we going?” Letty dared to ask.
“You’ll know when we get there, princess.” Phoenix maliciously said smirking at Letty, showing off his ugly gold teeth to her.
Letty didn’t smile back and got back into her car. She knew that they were somewhere in the frontier between United States and Mexico. She could definitely smell trouble coming.
“You cannot divert from Phoenix’s route!” Giselle announced. “Good luck drivers!”
Phoenix started his car and took off at high speed and the other drivers followed him in high pursuit in one single file. They were all silent like a scorpion in the sand in the desert.
Letty was in the second to last position in the chain of speed. Diogo Muñoz was immediately behind Letty…in last position. Diogo Munoz had been kind to Letty since they met again since the bar and she had become quite fond of him. She was kind of glad that they were in this together.
The cars sped in single file and entered a hard to see entrance of a tunnel hiding between some rocks and hills in the desert. Letty felt sick when she entered the claustrophobic tunnel, and she had to really concentrate on maneuvering her car through the narrow tunnel and avoid fallen debris lying in her path.
They exited the tunnel and found themselves in an isolated area in the desert. Letty thought they had reached the final frontier! Letty stopped her car beside Diogo’s car and lowered her head for a few seconds trying to overcome the need to vomit.
When she got out of the car she was pale and Diogo came closer to her and asked. “Hey! You ok?” Letty nodded as she saw the bags being removed from their cars.
“What now?” One of the drivers with a strong Hispanic accent asked.
“When are we going to be paid?” Another driver asked. “Why are we here?”
“Shut up you bastards!” Phoenix angrily shouted.
“Donde está mi dinero? (Where’s my money?).” A driver yelled making Phoenix lose his patience.
Immediately, Phoenix pulled out a powerful gun and shot the man who had challenged him in the head.
Letty slowly took a step back. Diogo was in shock. Two of Braga’s henchmen approached Letty and Diogo but Letty kicked one of them in the crotch and ran towards her car.
“What the f*ck is going on here?” Letty screamed to Diogo who was attempting to pound on the other henchman.
Diogo tried to run towards Letty, facing the gunfire. The drivers were being executed one by one. Letty got into her car, fired the engine up and tried to help Diogo. “Let’s go Diogo!”
But it was already too late. A bullet struck him in the head and he quickly dropped to the ground. Letty accelerated her car and took off out of there amongst a spray of gunfire. Phoenix got in to his car and pursued Letty, hot on her bumper.
Phoenix relentlessly chased Letty for several miles. Letty could not shake this guy! She was starting to panic and her hands were beginning to tremble. Her head began to spin.
Letty was driving at over 120 miles per hour and the road was wet. During one sharp curve, her car skidded and flipped over as she tried to correct this maneuver during her panic. Letty was strong and fought to stay conscious…and not vomit… even when the car finally stopped on its roof.
Trying to catch her breath Letty exited the car. She could hear the footsteps of Phoenix coming closer to her. If she stayed there she wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving.
Letty tried to be strong and crawled away from the car and hid in the dense underbrush alongside the road.
She could still hear Phoenix’s voice taunting her. “Where are you! You f*cking bitch? Don’t think this is over because I’ll find you! Even in hell!”
