"No!" Skylar screamed out causing Dom to immediately rush into the living room. He saw Skylar sitting up staring blankly for a moment then shake her head trying to wake up.
"I -I'm fine," Skylar said as soon as he was in her sight her voice cracking as if she was ready to cry. She avoided looking at him and instead stared at the television feeling him staring at her. When she knew she wasn't going to cry she looked at him.
"Was wonderin if ya wanted to see the room you'd be stayin in," he said as soon as she looked at him. She nodded as she stood up from the couch then stretched.
Dom jerked his head indicating for her to follow him and she walked behind him saying nothing. She really didn't have to Dom could feel her uneasiness as he walked in front of her. He knew there was more to the whole Nick thing but he also knew that she wasn't going to say anything about it tonight. He opened up the first door on the left then turned and looked at her.
"Bathroom's right across the hall from you," he told her.
"Thanks," she said.
"Have a good night Skylar," he said walking back down the stairs.
Skylar found the room to be small but nice with faded, yellowed floral wallpaper on the walls. Her bags were on the bed and she went over to them pulling out something comfortable to sleep in then went across the hall to the bathroom. She didn't bother looking in the mirror she already knew she looked like hell. instead, she turned on the water adjusted it then shed her clothes and stepped into the hot water.

"She say anything?" Mia asked as soon as Dom came back downstairs.
"Nope," he said sinking back down into the chair he was sitting in earlier.
"Give her a few days," Letty said, "You can't expect her to say much the first day."
"Maybe I can look into this Nick guy Dom," Brian said, "see what kinda record the kid's got."
Don nodded, "Cash in another favor?"
"Oh trust me there's a lot of them that owe me at least one," Brian said causing Dom to crack a smile.
Mia looked at the clock as she yawned then looked at Brian.
"Babe we need to go; I told the sitter we'd be home by two and it's after three."
Brian nodded and stood up, "Guess I'll see you at the garage tomorrow."
"Count on it," Dom said, "I want you to help me look over Skylar's car."
"Thinking there may be some trackers on it?"
"Yeah," Dom said finishing his beer, "We looked over it before coming down but I just have a feeling."
"Say no more," Brian said, "We'll take a look at it first thing in the morning. You have a scrambler on it right now right?"
Dom nodded, "I ain't stupid."
"Good I'll see you tomorrow," Brian said then left with Mia.
Letty leaned over and gave Dom a kiss, "Come on Papi you've had a rough day let me give you a massage."

Skylar was just leaving the bathroom when Letty and Dom were coming up the stairs.
"Night," she said to them as they almost ran to the room at the end of the hall.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what they were planning on doing. Skylar immediately went into her room, found her phone and headphones then slipped them over her head. She turned the volume up as high as she could stand before hooking it up to the charger and laid on the bed quickly falling asleep.
