Dom’s POV
I didn’t bother to obey the speed limit as I drove to Hector’s. There was one thing on my mind and that was getting to Letty as fast as I could.
It seemed luck just wasn’t on my side tonight as I had to stop at every red light between the house and Hector’s. As I yet again had to stop for the fourth time I swore, thumping my hand on the steering wheel in frustration. It was an impatient two minutes before they returned to green, my foot flattening the pedal to the floor.
It felt like a life time had passed before I arrived at Hector’s but glancing at the time it was just ten minutes. I slammed the car door shut, not even bothering to lock the car as I bolted to the door. Hector met me there with a smile on his face, nodding behind him to the couch. Letty lay curled up fast asleep covered over by a blanket. I walked over to her slowly, barely noticing as Hector left the room to give us some privacy, my eyes doing a silent assessment of her. There were no obvious signs of harm, no wounds I could see.
Dropping to my knees in front of the couch I gently tucked her hair behind her ear, using my hand to smooth the rest of her hair away. She stirred at my touch, her eyes blinking open slowly as she registered where she was. Within second she was in my arms as we toppled to the floor.
“Dom.” She whispered into my neck, her hands tightly clutching my shirt. My arms wrapped around her completely, my hands squeezing her body to mine as I tuck my own face in her neck.
“I’ve been so worried.” I whispered and she nodded slightly as I sat us up, situating her in my lap properly.
“You’re safe now.” I whispered to her, pulling her head towards mine as I placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
“He’s still out there.” She whispered, fear obvious in her eyes.
“He won’t ever get near you again. We’re gunna find him Let, I promise you we’re gunna find him.” I vowed as I pulled her closer.
“Can we go home?” She pleaded and I nodded, moving us both from the floor into a standing position. Letty remained tightly locked into my side and I kept her there, not wanting to let her go any time soon.
“We’re gunna go looking for him tonight, Vince just rang too said he notified the police, they want her statement.”
“After what they did tonight they can wait till morning.” I snapped, angered once more about their lack of concern.
“That’s what he told them.” I nodded pleased that Vince had our backs.
“I’m gunna get her home, she needs the rest.” I spoke and he nodded in agreement giving Letty a small smile.
“We’ll find him mamí, I promise. My boys won’t rest until the fucker’s found.
“Thank you Hector.” She spoke quietly, exhaustion evident in her voice.
“Come on I’ll walk you guys ou-“ He stopped cut off by the sound of an engine starting up close by. I gave him a horrified look as I recognized the sound. That was my car.
“Fuck.” I swore, all three of us bolting out the door just in time to see its tail lights turn the corner.
“Knew I should of locked it.” I muttered looking back at Hector and Letty as they stood staring where it had last been.
“Sorry man-“
“It ain’t your fault Hector, it was mine. Besides it’s just a car, I’d take Letty of the car any day.” I spoke holding my hand out for Letty. She took it willingly and I placed a kiss on her head.
“I’ll ring Vince, he can come and grab us, Leon and Jesse can see if they can track it down.”
“Lucky you installed those trackers in the cars.” Hector joked and I winced glancing at Letty in panic. She looked surprised but soon laughed and shook her head.
“I should be mad that you’ve been tracking my every move, but after tonight I just don’t care.” She smiled.
“I’ve been tracking everyone, not just you.” I spoke, trying to ease the situation a little.
“Guess it’ll come in handy.” She smirked and I snorted.
“I hope so. They cost enough.” I said shaking my head, slinging an arm around her shoulders as we walked back inside.
Ten minutes later Letty was curled into my side as we sat on Hector’s couch, Hector sitting across from me as we talked. Vince was on his way and Leon and Jesse were tracing the car.
“Yo open up its me.” Vince pounded on the door a few minutes later, Hector getting up to answer the door.
“Thanks brother. Letty girl you alright?” Vince asked as he pulled her in for a hug.
“I’m good, shaken and exhausted but nothing some sleep and a hot shower won’t fix.”
“So glad to have you back. Come on, let’s get you home. Leon and Jesse are working on tracking your car.” He explained to me and I nodded. All of us walking outside to Vince’s car.
“Thanks for all your help tonight man, get some rest and tell your boys we said thanks too.” I spoke, shaking hands with Hector.
“Anytime man you know that. Take care of your girl, don’t let her out of your sight.” He whispered low enough for Letty not to hear.
“I don’t plan on it.” I agreed getting into the back of the car with Letty.
“You really okay? He didn’t touch you did he?” I asked her, caressing her face with my hand as Vince backed out of the driveway.
“No. I just want a shower and then I want to go to bed with you.” She admitted quietly. I nodded with a smile, placing a kiss on her lips sighing happily as she kissed me back.
“Hey no hanky-panky in the back of my baby.” Vince teased as we pulled away. We shared a laugh before silence fell over us again. A few minutes later Letty snuggled further into my side and I held her tighter, staying silent for the rest of the ride home.
