11th March- Mexico City, Mexico
Deserted warehouse
Letty's POV
I waited uneasily as I looked around the outside of empty warehouse. We had pushed this idea around for the last two days before we agreed it seemed pretty harmless. If Leon hadn't needed to be with Ava he would have been here with me but we both agreed it would be better to stay far away.
I shivered as I pulled my jacket closer around me. it was pretty cold for night time and I was starting to wish I had of dressed warmer. I turned my head as a car came into sight and I waited until it stopped and the driver stepped out before stepping towards it. It was the guy from the races and he was alone to my surprise.
"Glad you showed." He spoke in a gravelly voice that reminded me of a certain person but I pushed that aside and nodded at him.
"I stand by my word." I said and he nodded smiling. He seemed like a decent guy but I had learnt from experience that looks can be deceiving.
"Alright let's get going." David spoke and I nodded.
"Mind if I drive?" I asked not comfortable with the thought of getting into a stranger's car.
"I get it, you don't trust me." he said holding his hands up in the air and I gave him a small smile.
"No offense."
"None taken. Let's go then." He said as we got into my car. As we drove he gave me directions and in between he talked. It was never about anything personal which I was grateful for because I didn't need any suspicions arising from this job. I pulled into a side street David had spoken described and pulled to a slow stop as I saw two cars in front of us and a group of guys. David told me to wait in the car and I agreed. Some of these guys looked anything but friendly so as I watched David walk towards them I made sure the gun was still under my seat. Leon had planted it there in case things went wrong and though I had initially been against it I was glad he had insisted now.
It took less than five minutes before I saw money and keys being exchanged. I nodded at David as he motioned for me to back out. Starting the car again I did as I was told and waited at the end of the driveway on the side of the road. He appeared in the other car a few seconds later and pulled to a stop next to me.
"That went better then expected." He grinned and I gave him a small smile back.
"That it did."
"Thanks for your help Lia." He said as he passed an envelope to me through the open window. I refrained from counting it in front of him not wanting to piss him off.
"You aren't going to count it?" He asked surprised.
"Do I have a reason to?" I shot back and he grinned and shook his head.
"There's sixteen G's in there." I gave him a shocked look and he shrugged.
"I thought you deserved a little extra." He shrugged and I nodded my thanks.
"Thanks."
"Listen if you're ever passing through town again hit me up. I'd like to get to know you better." He said laying on the charm but I gave him a small smile.
"I'll keep that in mind next time I pass through."
"Can you find your way back from here?" he asked and I nodded.
"I should be fine." He nodded and sent me a wink.
"Well I hope to see you again." He said before he drove off and I quickly followed not wanting to hang around this part of the town. I took a shortcut I knew of and sped back to the house eager to see Leon and Ava.
"Thank god you're back." Leon breathed out as he met me at the car. I let him pull me into a hug and I returned it full force.
"Are you okay?" he asked moving me back a little to look at me and I nodded.
"Yeah nothing happened." I said as I handed over the money. He took it and started to count as we walked inside locking the door behind us.
"There's sixteen here." he said confused and I nodded.
"He said he gave me extra, said I deserved it." I explained as I snuggled into his side on the couch. This was second nature to us now as he wrapped an arm around my back and pulled me closer.
"We'll be okay for a little while now. We can wire some to Charlotte for expenses." He said and I nodded.
"How's Ava?" I asked as he put the money down.
"She's fine, she's asleep. I expect she'll be up soon for another feed." I nodded and let my eyes close as I listened to Leon's heartbeat.
"Let?" He whispered after a long pause of silence. I was almost asleep but I made a noise to let him know I was listening.
"I've been thinking about Rio." I sighed and opened my eyes to look at him.
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure you want to know?" I was silent as I thought about it but eventually I nodded.
"I need to know where they are. I can't ever be found." I spoke softly and he nodded.
"I just wanted to be sure." He spoke and I nodded.
"I'm sure Le."
"Charlotte rang while you were gone. She's managed to trace Dom but she's found something interesting." He spoke suddenly and I looked at him expectantly.
"Mia, Brian and Dom have met up with Vince. He's been living in Rio, he has a wife and kid." My eyes widened at the news.
"Vince a father?" I asked and he nodded.
"I know right?" he laughed a little and I shared a smile with him.
"What else has she found out?"
"They're not alone. they have six other people with them."
"Six?" I asked confused.
"Charlotte said it looks like they're planning something."
"Does she have names?" I asked and he reached forward to pick up a piece of paper sitting on the table.
"Han-"
"I know Han." I interrupted and he nodded.
"That guy from the DR right?" I nodded and he glanced down at the list again.
"Leo and Ricco, I remember you talking about them." Again I nodded.
"A woman named Gisele-." My heart felt like it had stopped as I let out a gasp after he spoke her name. My gasp had cut him off yet again as I gripped his arm.
"What?" he asked worriedly.
"She worked Braga." I stuttered out and he looked at me alarmed.
"Charlotte forgot to mention that." He said tensely and I shivered as the thoughts flooded over me.
"Who else?" I asked almost afraid of knowing.
"A Tej Parker and a Roman Peirce." I shook my head.
"I don't know either of those." I spoke and he relaxed a little.
"She's said she's going to start sending us the surveillance photos. We'll soon have faces to names." He said and I nodded.
"I always wondered what happened to Vince." I spoke softly.
"I can't believe old Coyote settled down. He was the last one I ever expected to have a kid."
"Let alone the first." I spoke and he agreed.
"She said it's a boy, Nico. Named after Dom-" He cut short and groaned as he realised what he'd said.
"It's okay." I said as I found his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"We should turn in. No doubt Ava will be up soon for a feed." He spoke and I nodded but didn't move.
"You gotta get up to go to bed Let." He joked lightly as his other hand found my hair and started running through it.
"I'm pretty comfy." I smiled snuggling into his side more making him laugh.
"I bet." He spoke quietly as he stretched out and pulled me closer to him. I let my eyes close as I felt his fingers in his hair again and his heartbeat under my ear.
"Sleep Let."
"I plan to." I mumbled as he chuckled lightly.
