15th June- Washington DC
Outside D.S.S Headquarters
Lotty's POV
I sighed heavily as I picked up my ringing phone. Trailing Hobbs had led to a rather boring day, the guy was very much pissed that Toretto had escaped with a lot of money.
"Talk to me." I answered.
"You answer your phone like that with everyone?" An annoyed voice spoke over the line. Rolling my eyes I sat back further in my seat, twirling my hair around my finger.
"Only for you Leon." I replied faking a sweet voice, but his scoff on the other told me he saw through it.
"To what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked getting down to business.
"Letty just rang me." Hearing her name he had my full attention.
"And?" I snapped wanting news immediately.
"I need to get to Berlin by tomorrow can you make it happen?" I frowned at his words, wondering what was wrong.
"Why?" I demanded.
"Letty shot a soldier during the first job, she's falling apart." He confided. I felt for Letty, killing for the first time wasn't easy and hard on the mind. I was surprised she had managed to make the phone call.
"Be ready for my phone call." I spoke quickly before I ended the call. I scrolled through my list of numbers searching for the one I needed. Already planning Leon and Ava's trip in my mind as I dialed the number, it didn't take long before the person answered.
"Lotty." A man's voice purred over the phone and I smirked.
"Kev." I purred back, listening as he chuckled.
"I take it this is a business phone call."
"Baby you know I never mix business with pleasure." I flirted.
"Too bad, you and I could have some real fun. What do you need baby girl?"
"Two flights to Berlin from Mexico, asap." I added. He whistled but I could hear tapping of the keys as he checked it out.
"You're in luck. I have three left for tonight's flight."
"I'll take two, book them in under one adult, Benjamin Thomas and one baby, Clara Thomas." I ordered.
"You get a man and have a kid since the last time we saw each other?"
"No, it's a friend's baby. Is it done?" I asked impatiently.
"Always to the point, but yes it's done. I'll forward the itineraries to your email; it's nice to hear from you."
"Thanks Kev, I'll be in touch regularly."
"So does that mean I have an IOU?"
"Only if you behave." I spoke teasingly before I ended the call. Opening my email I checked all the details were correct before forwarding them to Leon.
"You're all set, better get a move on." I spoke to him after he answered.
"Thanks."
"No worries. Give a kiss to Ava and Let for me yeah? I bet that girl's grown since the last time I saw her."
"I will. Ava's almost crawling, she's growing bigger every day."
"Damn, I need to make plans to come back soon. I miss her." I said softly.
"She misses her aunty Lotty too. I better go I need to feed her before we leave."
"Okay, safe flight Leon. Ring me when you arrive so I know everything's okay."
"Sure." I heard before the dial tone hit my ear. Closing the phone I sighed and looked back to the sight in front of me. Car still in reserved car park- check. Mad hulk still pacing in front of office window- double check. It was going to be a long afternoon and possible well into the night.
"I need a coffee." I moaned to myself.
17th June- Berlin, Germany
Letty and Leon's apartment
Leon's POV
"We gunna see mummy?" I cooed to Ava as we walked in the door. The plane ride had been long and packed. Travelling with a baby was hard work, but she had been fairly good. Sleeping had been the only issue. Now she was fussy and over tired but refused to close her eyes, choosing to rather cry.
After locking the door behind me, I headed straight for the bedroom. I had fed her on the plane so she would right for a few hours, or possibly the whole day depending on how long she crashed for.
"Letty." I said surprised as I took in the dark dressed figure sitting on the bed. To say she looked terrible was an understatement. Letting the bags fall to the floor I rushed to her side just in time for whole resolve to crumple.
"Hey it's going to be okay, we knew going into this wasn't going to be easy." I soothed as I used my free hand to pull into me. She shook her head slowly, her tears falling faster than before.
"Nothing will be okay after this morning." She cried and I frowned at her words. This morning? Had something else happened after the phone call to me?
"Did something else happen after you rang me?" I asked. She nodded, sobbing as she covered her face with her hands. Understanding that something was really wrong, I explained to her gently I was going to put Ava to sleep before we spoke. She didn't make a move to move, not even towards Ava to say goodnight. Feeling panic well up inside me I rushed to put Ava down, if Letty wouldn't touch or react in any way to Ava something was really wrong, bigger then shooting a soldier.
"Sleep tight princess, you'll see mummy later." I whispered as I put Ava into bed. She fussed for a moment before she settled, yawning widely. Creeping back to the bed I pulled Letty to the top of the bed with me, I lay us both down face to face. Drying away her tears slightly I held her as she clung to my shirt, sobs slowly still wracking her body as she tried to calm down. I frowned noticing for the first time the bruises on her face and a small cut on her eyebrow.
"Tell me what happened Let." I coaxed softly once she was calm enough to talk. Her eyes met mine as she let out some deep breaths before she started her story.
