The Little Toretto

Race Wars

(Maria POV)

We were on our way to race wars and I was still working on my Charger model, I was sat in the trailer while it was being towed behind Jesse's car. I must have fallen asleep at some point because I woke up to Dom shaking me awake. " Maria you wanna see a real race?" I sit up and I nod my head very quickly. " Yes!" I jump up and I walk out of the trailer. " Dom c'mon!" Dom laughs as he followed me. We watched some guy flirt with Letty, but if I know Letty she won't take anything from nobody so Dom and I stood on the sidelines watching her win the race. We watched the guy come out of the car slightly mad that he lost to a girl and I on the other hand was proud. We watcher her walk over. " Hey Chiquita ready to watch some real racing?" Letty asked me while I nodded my head vigorously. I was really excited to see Dom race again, it has been a long time.  Letty walks off to put the winnings in our trailer and I follow her and I see Brian so I go to him. " Hey Brian." I say. " Hey Maria." I turn to him. " So how you enjoying race wars?" I question with a smile knowing pretty well he was enjoying himself. " I like it here, it's like being with my people." I laugh at this. " Couldn't agree with you more on that." Jesse walks up to us. " What's up?" Jesse says looking at both of us. " What's up Jesse? What's in your hand?" Brian questions but now that I notice it I see something pink in his hand. " Throwing down the pink slip, just like you." Jesse says while shrugging. "The pink slip to what? The Jetta?" " Yeah." Jesse says. Oh no that isn't even his car, if he loses then his dad is gonna be pissed. " You can't bet your dad's car!" Brian exclaims with concern clear in his voice. Jesse just simply shrugs. "  It's all right. I ain't losing. This fool is running a Honda 2000. I'll win. That way, me and my dad can roll up when he gets out of prison. It's all good." I remember something about Tran creating a car that is like the Superman of cars using a Honda 2000. But before I can warn him he is already off. " Brian Jesse is gonna get killed out there!" I exclaim. Brian shrugs, seriously what is it with people and shrugging today. " It's a Honda 2000 how good can they be." I just shake my head and head back to our trailer. ' Men they never listen do they?' I question myself.

I hear Dom yelling so I go and check out what is happening, but when I get out there all I see is Tran on the ground and Dom on top of him. " Dom!" I yell. Dom turns to me and his face drops when he sees my fearful face. He comes to me and hugs me and I hug him back. " It was for a good reason right?" I ask Dom, he just nods. " Hermanita I don't want you to be afraid of me, please just tell me you aren't afraid of me." I nod. " I am not afraid of you Dom, you are my older brother so what reason is there to be afraid of you?" I question. He smiles a bit. " Well Hermanita it is time for you familia to win another race." He says and I giggle. " Okay hermano I'll be here and if Mia ever gets back we will both be here." I say with a toothy grin and he sends me one back. " See you later Maria." "See you later Dom." I wait for either Mia or Dom to come in but I see Mia and she rushes in with tears in her eyes. " Mia what's wrong? I swear if it's Brian I will kick his butt!" I exclaim. Mia shakes her head. " Maria you know how Dom does these jobs and that's why he needs to stay away from the police?" I nod. " Well Maria Dom has to go on another job like that but I have a bad feeling about this one." I nod. " So what are we going to do?" I question. " We are going to help them." I nod and we start to head out to Mia's car, but we are stopped by Brian. "  Mia, what's going on?" Brian asks as he keeps pace with us. " What?" She questions playing coy. " You know what I'm talking about." Brian insists. "No I don't" Mia says continuing to play coy. " You have tears in your eyes when Dom drives away?" Brian keeps pushing. " What's the matter with you?" Mia questions. " What's he racing off in the of the for? You know about the trucks?" Brian keeps questioning. " No Brian what trucks?" Brian pulls Mia back. " Jesus Christ what?" Mia asks tired of it. Listen to me. Mia, I'm a cop." My eyes widen as I realize we have befriended the enemy. I cover my ears as they argue well more like Mia yelling at Brian. " GUYS!" I yell. They both turn to me. " Can we go save my family before someone gets hurt please?" I say with tears in my  eyes. They nod and we start our trek to Mia's car, when we get there I catch up on some sleep that I've missed.

(Time Skip)

I wake up and we are in the desert and I see a car that is flipped over, I worry. " Let me out of this car." I say. Brian and Mia look shocked. " Maria we can't." Brian tries saying. " LET ME OUT OF THIS DAMN CAR BRIAN! THAT IS MY FAMILY AND I WILL NOT LEAVE THEM TO DIE!" I exclaim. Mia and Brian look shocked so they slowed the car slightly and I jumped out of it, I got a few cuts and maybe sustained a few bruises but it would be worth it to see if my family is alive. I run towards the flipped over car and I see Leon dragging Letty? " Letty!" I exclaim as I run over to them. Leon puts her in the front seat of the car and I nod my head at him. " Go! Save Letty I will find Dom don't worry about me." I say, Leon nods and drives off. I see a helicopter and I follow to where it's going, I see Dom's car and I dash to it. I turn around one more time to see Brian and I just shake my head. 'How could he?' I question myself as I let a few tears fall. It was a silent trip back home.
