Fast Future Furious Past

Chapter Eight

After flashing her head lights, Skylar watched him tear off down the street. To say she wasn't expecting it was an understatement. Quickly pulling off she realized what he meant by keeping up.

"Looks like I found out where I got my need for speed from," she muttered to herself almost losing him as he sped around a corner.

"Not so fast old man," she said using the hand break as she drifted effortlessly around the corner and caught up with them.

                                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dom glanced in his mirror not seeing her. "We lose her already?" he asked then saw her car come around the corner.

"Seems like she knows what she's doing," Letty said seeing the car drift around the corner.

"Time to kick it up," Dom said hitting his foot on the gas.

                                                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Seriously?" Skylar said noticing him speed up again. She loved speed but this was nuts.

"Gotta keep up," she said pressing on the gas taking her car from almost 100 to close to 120.

"Bring it," she said as they hit the interstate but noticed that they had slowed down. She saw why as they drove by two unmarked police cars.

'He must have a scanner too', she thought as her phone rang.

"Yeah," she said after hearing the phone sync with her radio speakers.

"Nice to see that you can keep up," Dom said his voice filling up the car's interior.

"Didn't think I could?" she asked slightly annoyed.

"Still have a good drive ahead of us," Dom continued as he avoided her question, "Keep up and keep your eyes open for cops."

Skylar reached down and switched on her scanner, "Shouldn't be a problem."

"We'll see," he said before disconnecting.

                                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Letty laughed after he hung up, "I can't figure out who's the most stubborn. You cuz you gotta show her who's boss or her cuz she's trying to prove herself or somethin."

"She's good I'll give her that but it's gonna take more than this drive for her to prove to me that she can race."

"So does this mean you're admitting that she's your daughter?" Letty asked making no effort to hide the smirk on her face.

"Brian cashed in a favor," he said hitting the gas again.

"And the verdict was..."

"She's mine," Dom said glancing behind him then at her, "and I'm gonna do everything possible to protect her."

Letty nodded, "Bet she's just gonna love that."

"She has no choice since she came with us. There's gonna be rules and-"

"Dom," Letty said touching his shoulder, "you can't just lock her up the whole time she's with us. She's not a little girl."

Dom glanced again at the mirror to see Skylar's headlights right behind him.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Be there for her like you've been there for Mia."

"Just that simple," he said glancing at her.
