| 22. Johnny Tran was denied bail. His father wouldn�t accept his one phone call and they had held him in a cell with some of the toughest looking gang members he had ever seen. He prayed for a single cell where he wouldn�t have to worry about getting ass fucked. When they led him to another cell he was relieved. He strolled through the level trying to seem as bad as he possibly could. After all, he was Johnny Tran, pimp and drug lord. He was a fucking gangster, he told himself. �Try to act like one!� When he saw his smiling new cellmate and the Triad dragon tattoo on his arm he lost his control of his bladder and then he lost his mind. Things were about to get much worse for Johnny Tran� At the Toretto fort the party was just getting started. Everyone was there except for Bridget who had called to say she was running a little late. They were having a multi-cultural buffet. Everyone had brought something different and there were tacos, burritos and chips and salsa next to fried rice, egg rolls and sesame chicken. Leon�s date had made tamales and a huge pot of chili and that sat on the table next to a large pepperoni and extra cheese pizza. Everyone was filling their plates when Bridget arrived and walked in without knocking. She walked into the kitchen and Vince�s fork flew out of his hand, across the kitchen and embedded itself in the wall next to Dom�s head �Damn, Vince! Get a grip would ya?� Dom snapped. Vince didn�t hear him. He was too busy staring at Bridget. She wore red and white gingham print shorts, a red tank top and white slide on sketchers. Her hair was pulled back off her face and secured with a tiny clip off to one side. Bridget caught his gaze and held it, flashing him that quirky crooked green-eyed smile of hers. Letty turned and took the trays Bridget carried out of her arms. �Whatcha got there, girlie?� She put the trays on the counter, handed Bridget a plate and pushed her in line in front of Vince. He didn�t mind; he liked looking at her from behind. She had freckles on her shoulders and when she talked her hair would bounce about, revealing them and then hiding them again. �I made brownies. I figured I couldn�t go wrong with chocolate.� Bridget said as Letty introduced her to Leon�s date, Jennifer. �Ya damn right! Can�t go wrong with chocolate!� Mia said from the front of the line, she had her plate full of Chinese food. When everyone had their plates loaded they moved into the living room. The guys took the floor so the girls could have the best seats in the house, the couch and the recliner. Letty went up stairs to check on Jesse who was still sleeping but due for another bottle at any time. When she returned, they were watching the news. The big haired anchorwoman was droning on about a local sanitation workers strike. �Look at her hair! I bet she uses a bottle of hair spray a day!� Leon�s date, Jennifer laughed. B. backed her up. �I know! I mean, my God! That hair meets pageant requirements for height!� At that all four women cracked up. The guys just sat and looked at each other totally not getting it and went back to stuffing their faces. The segment went off and flashed to an on-site news anchor. He was broadcasting live from the county jail where an inmate had taken a hostage. Dom was about to flip the channel when Johnny Tran�s mug shot popped onto the screen. �Yes, Michelle, the inmate is John R. Tran, the son of a local businessman who was arrested recently for the murder of a know prostitute. He has taken an unarmed guard hostage and is demanding to be released. Officials say the inmate is possibly suffering from a mental breakdown as he was being placed on suicide watch in a secure cell when things got out of control.� The newsman spoke slowly to the woman behind the anchor desk back at the TV station as if she were just learning English or had the IQ of a sock. �Jim, Jim? Can you hear me Jim? Are we still live? Yes, Jim, there you are. By what means is the inmate holding the guard? Is there a weapon of some sort involved?� Big Hair held her hand up to her ear as if adjusting her hidden receiver. �Michelle, it is believed that the inmate has a homemade knife or a shiv that he was able to get from another inmate. Oh, wait�� Jim the news dude paused as he was handed a piece of paper. �I�ve just been handed confirmation that the situation is now under control. Officers stormed the area with tear gas and where able to subdue Tran who is now back in a cell and on suicide watch. It has also been confirmed that Tran did have a weapon and that he is now facing even more charges�� Letty, Dom, Vince and Leon stared at the TV shell-shocked. Dom was the first to speak. �Well, whadda fuckin ya know?� �He�s neck deep in shit now.� This from Vince. Leon sighed, �Hot Damn! They�ll lock him up and throw away the key!� He reached over and slapped Vince on the leg. Letty smiled that knowing Letty smile and said quietly, �What comes around goes around.� 23. They were half way through the first movie when the phone rang. Dom answered it before the ringing woke up the baby. �Yeah?� He said in his deep grizzly bear voice. Yeah, not hello, not hi, just yeah. It was typical Dom. As the guy on the other end started his memorized speech about the benefits of having Acme tools, Dom rolled his eyes. �Dude, I aint got time for that now. I�m in the middle of�� The disembodied voice cut him off. He hated that. �But sir, surely you have time to hear about a new tool that will help make life so much easier�� This time Dom cut him off. �Buddy, I�m in the middle of an�� Dom snapped his fingers to get everyone�s attention and gave the crew the sign that meant there was a sucker on the line just begging to be messed with. He continued on the phone. �I�m in the middle of an orgy here and I really aint got time for you man!� At that Dom put the call on the speakerphone and everyone but Bridget and Jennifer leapt into action making all sorts of ungodly moaning and groaning, the kind routinely heard on porn sets and possibly in the back seats of parked cars. Bridget and Jennifer looked at each other and turned beet red. Leon grabbed Jennifer and kissed her full on the mouth making as much noise as possible. She got into the act and kissed him back with vigorously. Letty was sitting in between Dom and Bridget on the couch. One look at B.�s astonished face and she lost it completely. When Letty doubled over laughing, Dom quickly disconnected the phone. �Oh, my God!� Letty cried, �That was the funniest thing ever!� Bridget smiled. �That was certainly one way to deal with telemarketers!� Letty stood up and stretched, her side aching from laughing too hard. �No girl, I meant the look on your face. We do that kinda shit all the time! You�d think they�d have banned this number by now!� Bridget rolled her eyes at Letty and stuck out her tongue. Vince watched that pink tongue slither out of her mouth and had to fight the urge to grab her and suck on it. His jeans suddenly seemed a little snug and he shifted in his favorite spot on the floor. The baby monitor crackled with the sounds of a whimpering Jesse. Dom paused the movie while Letty and Bridget raced up the stairs to see who got to him first. Letty won and while she changed a poopy diaper B. went to the kitchen to fix young Master Toretto his evening meal. Vince joined her in the kitchen while the others stayed in the living room. Leon and Jennifer made out in a darkened corner and Brian sat with Mia on his lap in the floor talking to Dom. Bridget turned as V. came into the kitchen. He took a coke out of the fridge and popped it open. After taking a huge swig, he offered her a sip. She slipped the bottle she was preparing in to a pot of water on the stove and set the timer before she took the coke from him. She lifted it to her lips and took a small taste. A single drop of the caramel colored liquid lingered on her lush lower lip. Vince moved in close, held her gaze briefly and then kissed the drop away. When he ended the kiss, Bridget pulled back and stared at him unsure whether to kiss him back or not. Vince didn�t know what to do. He had kissed her and she just stood there. He felt like crawling under the rug until suddenly she grabbed him by the back of the head and pulled him down to her level. She searched his face as if memorizing every little nook and cranny and then finally kissed him back. Vince had never experienced anything like it. She was tentative and unsure of herself, as she drank from his lips, nibbled at them. He had to hold himself back from ravishing her mouth like he wanted to. He let her lead and when she slid her tongue across his bottom lip seeking entrance into his mouth he gave it to her and welcomed that sweet pink tongue with his own. The timer went off and they broke apart, startled and out of breath. Their eyes were wide and their hearts were pounding loud enough to be heard in the next room. Bridget turned off the timer with shaking hands and took the bottle out of the warm water. She dried it off and Vince took it from her, took hold of her hand and let her upstairs to the nursery. Letty was rocking with Jesse when they reached the cheerfully decorated room. Vince pushed the door open and pulled B. in behind him, still holding her hand. �We thought he might like his dinner.� Vince said handing the bottle to Letty. She smiled, accepted the bottle and popped it into Jesse�s eager little mouth. Vince and Bridget watched as Jesse quickly downed the bottle, burped and passed out. Letty put Jesse back into the crib and they left the room to go back downstairs. �That kid is definitely Dom�s.� Vince said playfully as they went and Letty punched him in the arm. �No doubt about that!� Letty flipped off the lights in the house as they went through and pressed play on the VCR upon entering the living room. Leon and Jennifer were still making out. Vince kicked Leon lightly with his boot. �Get a room.� He said jokingly. Leon smiled and flipped him off. Jennifer giggled in Leon�s arms. Bridget and Letty took their places back on the couch but instead of taking his usual spot Vince sat down on the floor in front of Bridget. The movie began again and they settled in for the second half. Bridget couldn�t pay attention to the movie. It was a really girlie flick with Meg Ryan and Huge Jackman. �He�s cute.� She thought, but he�s no Vince. Vince was obviously bored and scooted down resting his head on the cushion were B. sat. She was sitting cross-legged and Vince�s wavy dark hair brushed her knee as he made himself more comfortable. Bridget couldn�t help herself; she reached out for a stray lock and twirled it around her finger, loving the texture of it. Vince relaxed instantly at her touch and closed his eyes. It had been a long time since a woman had touched him just because she wanted to, not because he had won a race or because she wanted to piss somebody off or because he was friends with Dominic Toretto. As he slouched there in the dark with Bridget�s fingers twirling in his hair he thought about all the women he had been with. None of them came close to Bridget. None of them could hold a candle to her. The movie slugged on and as the credits began to role, the women of Vince�s passed faded from his memory leaving only room for one freckled redhead. 24. When Letty took the video out, everyone clapped. The girls, because they loved the movie and were on the verge of tears and the guys, because the movie tanked so bad they wanted to puke. They had saved the best for last. Letty rented a horror movie guaranteed to get Dom in the mood. For some reason she couldn�t fathom, blood and guts always made Dom horny and that was just fine by her! The movie was based on one of the video games the guys played all the damn time. Resident Evil. She wasn�t really into that sort of thing but the movie did have a couple of kick ass girls in it so it couldn�t be all bad and she figured if Dom lived up to expectation as he usually did, it would all be worth it. When the first zombie jumped out and chomped on one of the female characters, B. jumped and held one of the couch�s pillows in front of her face. Letty laughed at her and called her �chicken shit� before snatching the pillow away. �Gimme that back, Lett!� B. made a grab for the pillow and stretched as Letty held the pillow up over Dom�s head. He ignored their little pillow fight. He was engrossed in the gore on the TV screen. As Bridget stretched, her legs came uncrossed and one long smooth leg slid over Vince�s shoulder. When she realized what had happened she went to pull her leg back up. �Sorry, V.� She whispered. Vince held onto her leg, not letting it go. His large hand stayed locked around her ankle. �Don't be. I�m not.� Letty saw the little interaction between them and flipped the pillow back to Bridget smiling. She winked and B. and snuggled closer to Dom. She whispered something in his ear that made him shift in his seat and slide his well-toned arm around her. As the movie played each couple played. Brian and Mia sat locked in each other�s arms. She would hide her face in the crook of his neck when the movie got scary and he would whisper to her not to be afraid that it was just a movie and kiss her gently on the head. Leon and Jennifer really could have used a room but Jennifer didn�t want to be rude to their hosts so she made Leon take his hand out of her shirt and promised him a night to remember when they got back to his place. Letty and Dom continued to cuddle in their corner of the couch. Letty kept whispering in his ear and every time she would say something Dom would make a fist and then slide it down the length of his leg. Bridget and Vince played too. She toyed with his hair and traced the black outline of the tattoo on his shoulder. He held onto her small foot tickling the bottom of it and making her splay her toes, the nails of which he noticed were painted a sparkly navy blue. He wanted to make her toes curl, but he didn�t want to do it on Dom and Letty�s couch. He nuzzled the delicate flesh on the inside of Bridget�s knee with his lightly scruffy jaw. He had made a point to actually shave before coming over. When he did that he felt B. squirm a bit behind him and heard her inhale sharply. She liked it. He liked that she like it. When the movie was over Leon and Jennifer laid tracks to the door, barely stopping long enough to say goodnight. That was ok, because Dom wanted them all out of his house and the sooner the better. He had plans for Letty. Mia hugged him and kissed him goodnight on the cheek. Brian scooped her up and carried her off to their car. He also had plans for his wife and they involved the kitchen table and maybe the shower. B. grabbed her purse and keys, thanks them for a great night and headed out. Vince was right behind her. Letty closed the door on them before they could actually get out of the house. �You follow her back to the apartment and make sure she gets in safe. Got it?� Letty raised an eyebrow at Vince and gave him one of her best Letty looks. �Uh, yes ma�am!� He wasn�t about to argue with Letty. �Goodnight, B. Call me tomorrow�� Letty said before Dom slammed the door shut and carried her up the stairs. 25. Bridget was about to protest, but Vince clamped his hand over her mouth and shook his head before pushing her into her car. There was no need to argue with him either. He had his orders. As both cars sped away, Dom and Letty checked on baby Jesse and then Letty led Dom back down stairs, straight to the kitchen. Letty hopped up on the table and kicked one of the chairs out of the way. She looked lustily at Dom who had reverted into caveman mode and could only produce sounds, not actual words. �What are you waiting for, an invitation?� She had a sense of D�j� vu as if she had asked him that before or maybe she had asked herself that question. She couldn�t quite remember and Dom was making it hard for her brain to function properly. His hands were all over her body running possessively from neck to knee. He knew all the right places to skim over; the sensitive places that made her flush and press against him. Their lips met savagely and Letty bit Dom as their tongues mated. She pushed his t-shirt up his chest and kissed her way down to suck and lick at his flat nipples. Dom�s hands slithered in to her hair and pulled her head back up to take advantage of her captive mouth. Letty pulled the T-shirt over Dom�s head and ran her hands over him loving the contour and feel of every well-defined muscle. Dom stood between her legs as she sat on the table. He pulled her legs further apart and stepped closer to her grinding his erection into the warm space between her thighs. He deftly removed Letty�s clothing but before she had a chance to help him out of his, he pushed her further up on the table and then took a seat. Letty�s legs dangled over the edge of the table and she rose up on her elbows to look at him. �Why the hell did you stop?� she breathed. She got the answer to that when Dom scooted his chair up to the table and pulled her body down the length of it resting her thighs on his shoulders. He peaked up over her and smiled seductively. �I wanted a little snack�� With that, his fingers and tongue found her and she almost bucked off the table. Two fingers slid into her wet warmth and his tongue circled the little start button at the top of her femininity. Letty thrashed around unable to control herself until she bumped her head on the hard wood of the table and knocked herself senseless. It didn�t matter; she slipped over the edge in another way about the same time and saw stars. Dom couldn�t stand it any longer; he pulled his wanton wife into a sitting position, dropped his pants and plunged into her. Letty wrapped her legs around Dom�s waist and held on for dear life as he carried her to the stairs. The intention was to take her up stairs to their room, but Letty wasn�t having it. She bounced around as Dom tried to carry her, grabbed hold of the banister and made him finish her on the stairs. It was like heaven and hell at the same time. The unusual surface was difficult to deal with but certainly made things more interesting. She sat on one of the steps half way up and Dom leaned over her bracing himself on yet another step. She raised her legs higher about his hips and matched him thrust for thrust until she felt the familiar sensation of Dom trembling his release. She gasped as he thrust home one last time diving deep within her and taking her out of herself. They stayed there on the stairs for what seemed like forever until their bodies began to protest and call for more level, horizontal plains. They ran naked up the stairs, leaving their clothing behind and flung themselves onto their bed. Still breathing hard, Dom grabbed Letty and pulled her to him spoon style, her back to his front. Letty sighed in the dark and snuggled into him. �You think Bridget and Vince have had a chance to make it back to her place yet?� She asked as Dom pulled the sheets over them and then moved into position over her again. She didn�t have another thought about Vince or Bridget the rest of the night. 26. By the time they reached Bridget�s apartment, it had started to storm. Bridget hated storms. They parked just as the rain started to come down. Bridget yelled to Vince over the rumbling thunder, �It�s ok, I can make it from here, don't get out and get all wet.� It was useless, of course. There was no way, he was just gonna sit in the car and watch her go up those stairs alone. Vince got out of the car and ran after Bridget. The rain was really starting to pour. When he caught up to her she dropped her keys and he bent over to pick them up and gave them back to her. They were drenched by the time they made it up the stairs to Bridget�s front door. She unlocked the door and pushed it open as lightening flashed across the sky illuminating the interior of the dark apartment. B. jumped and Vince grabbed hold of her. His hair was wet and droplets of rain ran down his face. Bridget flicked on the light and pulled Vince into the apartment. �You can�t go back out into that.� She said as she walked into the bathroom and brought him a towel to dry off with. Vince didn�t say anything. She held the towel out to him and he took it and her hand at the same time. He hung the towel around his neck and then brought her hand up to inspect her previously broken fingers. He turned her hand over a pressed a kiss onto her open palm. They stood there for a moment dripping wet, before Bridget pulled off her wet tank top and offered herself up to him like a sexual human sacrifice. A lump rose in Vince�s throat and he had to swallow hard to keep it down. She was beautiful, the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The power flickered and they both looked around the room wondering when it would go out completely. Vince noticed a candle and book of matches on her bookcase. He took the candle, set it on the coffee table and had it lit just as the power snapped off. Lightening and the glow of one candle was all the light they had. Bridget took Vince by the hand and led him to the couch. She pushed him down on it and he pulled her down with him to straddle his lap. He reached up and drew the little clip that held her hair back out of the thick red gold strands and watched as her damp hair fell into her face like a veil. He brushed it behind her ear and reached up to place a single gentle kiss on her forehead. He was so gentle. She didn�t know what she was doing, she just knew she wasn�t gonna stop. She braced her hands on the back of the couch on either side of Vince�s head and lowered her mouth to his. She could hear her heartbeat pounding in her own ears and her stomach was doing wild flip-flops. She traced the entrance of his mouth with her tongue and he groaned. She shyly slipped her tongue into play with his and his hands came up to rest on her hips. Shadows played against her skin giving it a soft glow. He had never seen a woman in that light before. The pale flesh of her lace-covered breasts was still damp from the rain. He took his mouth from hers and dragged it down the side of her neck nipping and tasting along the way. She smelled heavenly, like�vanilla? Damn, he though, what more could a man ask for than a woman that smelled like FOOD! Her breath was raspy as he worked his magic on her. His fingers kneaded her hips and his lips nuzzled the soft skin at the base of her neck. Bridget ran her hands over his back and gripped at the fabric of his shirt when he moved lower and placed a kiss over the swell of her left breast. Vince sat back and pulled the damp shirt over his head. He took Bridget�s hands and placed them on his chest. Her fingers worked into the dark curls covering him and she looked at him. There was no need for words. They were beyond that. Everything that needed to be said was said in the stroke of a finger over a collarbone, in the flutter of eyelashes, in the taste of innocent seduction. Vince�s hands moved to Bridget�s back, to the clasp of her bra and found none. He slid his hands around to the front of her but his hands were shaking so that he couldn�t bring himself to touch her again. He felt like clumsy virgin and didn�t want to make a fool of himself. He was surprised when she took her hands from his chest and undid the little snap herself. That was all he needed to give him back his nerve. He claimed her mouth and his hands went to her shoulders to slide the straps down and the lacy bra off of her completely. Bridget had never felt anything like it. His hands were so gentle and unrushed as if he wanted her to feel more than he did. For the first time in her life Bridget Mahoney had inkling what all the fuss was about. 27. Vince wasn�t particularly religious but he experienced grace in its truest form. Bridget. She gave him everything he never knew he needed and more. He was burning to make love to her but held himself in check. When their kisses tumbled them over the edge into the void, there was nothing left for Vince to do other than pick Bridget up and carry her down the hall to her bedroom. He laid her on the bed as if she were as fragile as glass. The only light in the room came from the skylight above the bed. Lightening and moonlight filtered in from above. What clothing remained on them was quickly kicked aside and Bridget opened her arms to him in the semi-dark. He came down next to her on the bed, letting her become accustomed to the length of him. He was consumed with the need to bury himself inside her but he refused to rush her. Bridget stiffened slightly at the feel of Vince�s erection throbbing against her thigh. She had never enjoyed herself before but it dawned on her that there was nowhere else on earth that she would rather be and when Vince�s mouth sought and found her breast she melted into the mattress. He kissed his way down her body placing sweet baby kisses along her ribs and above her belly button. Bridget gasped when he ran his tongue into it and then further down. She clutched at him and tensed up but he kept going. He spread her thighs wide with his large hands, and leaned into her. He was amazed at the sights before him. In the differences in their skin, hers pale as death and his dark, stained from work and the sun. He tilted her hips up toward his eager mouth and drank from her. Bridget shuddered tossing her head from side to side as Vince watched. Thought was not possible for her; all she could do was feel. Vince ran his tongue over her honeyed flesh until he heard her gasp and felt her convulse. He had made her come. He knew he was the first man to ever give her that and he smiled against her belly as she gulped for air. Something strange came over Bridget. She reached down and grabbed handfuls of Vince�s hair. She pulled him up to her and stared into his eyes and whispered one word. �Now.� Vince positioned himself at her slick entrance and thrust forward into her slowly. Anything you want, my queen, he thought, anything at all. Just ask for and I will give it to you on a silver platter. You want money, I�ll steal it. You want food; I�ll hunt it down and drag it back to the castle with my bare hands. Oh, God! Anything you want you can have! Just please don't kick me out of here when this is over! She was tighter than any woman he had ever been with. It had obviously been a while for her. Vince pushed himself in to the hilt and struggled for air, to keep from moving, to make her feel as much as he felt. Bridget raised her hips off the mattress in an attempt to bring him in even more. He couldn�t help it he pulled out of her and plunged back in with everything he had. He thrust into her like a madman, like an animal and Bridget held on for dear life murmuring his name over and over like a prayer. He came hard and fast within her, her interior muscles gripping him like hot wet silk and he collapsed on top of her, every muscle useless and weak. Bridget fought for breath, her pulse pounding in her ears. Vince was heavy but he felt so good against her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him. When he could move again, he rolled off of her taking her with him so that she was half lying across his chest. She snuggled against him. They lay there in the dark together for a long time. The storm outside had faded at some point. Neither said a word. Vince kept running his hand through her hair, feeling her eyelashes blinking against his chest. He wondered if he should tell her or wait. He wondered if she would even believe him. Vince took a deep breath. �I love you.� They said it at the same time. Vince rolled her onto her back, her breasts pressed against his chest. �Are you sure?� He wanted her to be sure. He prayed that she was sure. �Are you?� Bridget giggled as Vince gathered her in his arms, drew the sheets up over them and settled in for the night. 28. They made love again in the morning. Vince devoured every inch of Bridget and almost had kittens when he saw the tattoo on her hip. He traced it with his tongue before filling her with his eagerness. When their heart rates and breathing slowed, they snuggled up again and dozed in each other�s arms. Banging on Bridget�s front door woke Vince. B. was sleeping soundly after their long night and it pissed him off that someone was trying to disturb their piece. If it was some kid selling candy he was gonna have to buy everything the kid had or throw the brat down the stairs and risk jail time. He got up and pulled his jeans on barely bothering to zip them. Vince jerked the front door open as the banging increased and came face to face with Letty. �Yo, B. open up girl, we got to�� Letty stopped when she saw Vince half dressed and sleepy-eyed in Bridget�s living room. �Letty, uh, I�� Vince started as Letty barged past him. She stood in the middle of the living room and shouted� �Bridget Mahoney! You get your ass outta that bed! You got fifteen minutes to be ready to go. We got an appointment and we aint breaking it!� What sounded like B. falling out of bed was heard and then Bridget popped her head out of the bedroom door. �Shit! Letty, I�m sorry. I�ll hurry!� She grabbed some clothes and made a dash for the bathroom wrapped in a sheet. Letty turned back to Vince. He looked a little sheepish and she smiled at him and poked him in the ribs. �You get you some?� Letty had never seen a grown man turn that many shades of red before. B. came out of the bathroom hopping as she tried to shove her foot into her tennis shoe. She had very quickly showered and gotten dressed in some seriously low low riders and a baby t-shirt that molded itself to her curves. Her hair was still wet and curling madly but she just shook it out and pulled it off to one side and behind her ear. Letty walked out of the apartment followed by Bridget. She was half way down the stairs when she stopped, ran back up and kissed Vince with as much passion as she could muster. She backed away from him and hauled ass to the car where Letty sat honking the horn at her. Vince watched as they sped off, went back into the apartment, ate a bowl of cereal and took a shower. He felt so damn good he could have sprouted wings and flown! When the girls didn�t come back after an hour, he wandered down to the garage to see if Dom was around. Naturally he was. He and Leon had Jesse in the portable swing and were making goofy faces at him trying to illicit another laugh. When they saw Vince coming down from the stairs, they knew he had stayed the night at Bridget�s. �Dawg! You nail her?� Leon asked awed. Vince punched him in the mouth and sent him sprawling. �Don't you ever talk about her like that!� Vince shook his finger in Leon�s face, then apologized and helped him up. Jesse started doing his new baby laugh and the boys laughed back at him. The mood in the garage was light as they went back to playing with the baby and puttering around. |
