10th July- LA, United states
FBI headquarters
Letty's POV
Walking towards the FBI building I wondered what the hell I was doing. I was about to try to make a deal with the enemy. I took a deep breath before walking in making my way cautiously to the front desk. I was well aware that by coming here I was taking a huge risk. Mia had said I was not wanted but I wasn't so sure. I had to be ready to high tail it out of here at the first sign of trouble.
"Hi can I help you miss?" A young man asked before looking up. I ignored the way he paused, his eyes running up my body. When he finally met my eyes I sneered at him, at least he had the decency to look ashamed.
"I was wondering if an officer O'Connor was employed here?" I asked trying to be discrete.
"He does. Do you have an appointment with him?"
"Um unofficially yes." I lied.
"I'll page him down for you. What was the name?" He asked slyly. Not wanting to give out my real name I gave him my alias and hoped O'Connor would come down out of curiosity.
"Take a seat miss Thomas." I nodded to the officer but I didn't sit. Instead I kept a sharp eye on the man's movements ready to bolt at a moments notice. Nothing happened though, everything was calm and no one came running for me. He simply phoned Brian and said a woman was waiting for him. Looking around I took in the surroundings. A photo caught my eye and I turned to study it. I couldn't help but glare at the offending picture. Dom's face was hung up on the notice board under a wanted sign. I sighed and tried to fight down my emotions, the hurt was always going to be there but I knew I needed to bring him home. I'd kill him for leaving me when he returned.
"Le-" I turned to towards Brian with a fierce glare as I heard him start to say my name. He caught himself just in time and went on to say my alias I had given.
"You asked me to come by." I stated with a look that clearly said I was here for business not a friendly chat. He nodded nervously sparing a glance at the officer at the desk, who was watching the exchange with interest.
"Yeah, why don't we go out for a walk and we'll talk." I nodded letting Brian lead me out of the building..
"Letty what are you doing here?" He asked suddenly as we stopped far enough away to stop anyone overhearing.
"You owe us." I spat.
"I know. I'm sorry for what I did." He started but I cut him off.
"Save it. Your apologies are too late now."
"Then what can I do for you Letty?" He asked defeated.
"You owe us, a lot. You tore my family apart and right now I need that back together more than anything. I'll do anything to get Dom back home." I said quietly.
"Letty I don't have that kind of power." He said.
"Well then do something to get that kind of power. I need him home, Mia needs him home. You're the only one who can make it happen." I tried again. He said nothing and I had a feeling it had something to do with hearing Mia's name.
"I might have something that the FBI could use your help with." He said eventually.
"Then I'll do it." I said immediately.
"Letty it's not that simple, it's dangerous." He argued.
"I don't care, I need him home." I stated firmly. He sighed and turned away from me in silence. I waited to see if he was going to say anything but when he didn't I spoke.
"You let Dom go when you could have easily taken him in, but you didn't. You gave him your car key and you let him walk. I don't know why you did it, I don't even want to know, but I know the person you were pretending to be is in there somewhere. All I'm asking you is to find him because that's who you really are, not this person you're pretending to be." I said as I started to walk away.
"Letty wait." He called out and I paused turning to face him.
"Wait for my call."
"I'm trusting you O'Connor, you go back this I will kill you." I stated as I saw fear flash through his eyes.
"You're right, I do owe you. Wait for my call." He spoke as I nodded once and left.
Driving home I wondered if I had done the right thing. I had said anything because I would do anything to bring Dom's sorry arse home, but how dangerous was dangerous? I had sworn to lay low. That the DR had been my last job, I had another little person to think of but I knew I had to do this. I wasn't going to be a single mother; my child was going to know its father.
11th July- LA, United states
Toretto house
I was working on the charger the day after my meeting with Brian when I was interrupted. Mia was at a class so I hadn't been expecting anyone. Looking up at the person I narrowed my eyes at Brian as he looked around regretfully.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded.
"I spoke to my boss and he to his. An arrangement can be made if you're still interested." He said sadly. It peaked my interest as I stood leaving the car behind me.
"You know I am. What's the job?" I asked.
"I can't talk about it here; it has to be formally put to you. My boss wants to meet, hoping for today but if you can't…."
"What time?" I asked.
"Now."
"I'll go get changed." I said eyeing him up.
"I know you don't trust me."
"Damn right I don't." I snapped as I walked towards the house.
"I promise this isn't a trick. You carry out the job, we'll clear Dom. He'll be free to come home." I sized him up before nodding.
"Be out in five." I said turning into the house.
Brian's POV
I sighed heavily. I was worried about the outcome of this job. The last two agents we had sent in had been returned to us dead. Dom would hunt me down and kill me if anything happened to Letty. The thought of the Dom made me wonder why they'd separated. I didn't dwell on the thought long as Letty returned.
"Before we do this I just need to know. Why aren't you and Dom together? Why have you split? " I asked quietly. Her face hardened and I knew immediately I had hit a nerve.
"He left me. That's why I need to clear his name and bring him back." She snapped and I nodded leaving it at that. There was a lot of hurt there; you could tell by the way she spoke.
"Let's get this over with then." She muttered as I led her to my car.
"I just want you to know I regret doing what I did to your family. I was young and stupid. I thought being an officer was what I wanted." I said as we got in the car. She turned to me expressionless.
"What about now O'Connor? You still look like one to me."
"I only just got back. I was on the run too." She looked surprised by the info but said nothing and the rest of the drive was spent in silence.
I could only hope this worked out for all our sakes.
