Walter wasn't usually in a rush to get anywhere but today he barreled out of the gym trying to get home. He knew he'd forgot something today but knowing he was technically was on the clock until he found out who the new racer's were for the Japs. Today he just was not on his game as he ran into a beautiful woman. "WHOA!" He said as he instinctivly wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her from falling. "Hello there." He smiled charmingly and righted her. She looked familier but he couldn't place it at first.

Mia's had too many things in her mind the moment she stepped out of the house and the only way to calm her mind and crazy thoughts was a day in the gym. She looked down at her watch, she only had an hour before she had to go back home and feed her brother, she never looked up until she went face to face with a stranger... a handsome stranger that caught her by the waist preventing him and her to hit the ground hard. "Hi... I'm sorry I was so distracted I didn't even... sorry," she tried to explain herself only to end apologizing for the second time.

"Hey, no need to appologize. I should have paid better attention to where I was going." He stepped back and crossed his arms, "You're Mia Toretto aren't you?" The recognization dawned on his face for a second, "You're brother got me out of a lot of trouble in the past. Good driver, I was pissed when I found out he was in the slammer." It was true enough that he was upset about Dom being locked up but not upset enough to actually do much about it. Truth be told he probably could have walked in and escorted the man out without any major issues. "How are you holding up?"

"Yes, I am," smiling at the stranger in front of her. She wonder who this person was that knew and spoke so well about Dom. "He did?" a little frown forming on her forehead. She kept listening about how he talked about Dom and how bad he felt to know where the oldest member of the Toretto was. If only he knew her brother wasn't in that place anymore but she couldn't just blurt out to the world where he [Dom} really was. "Some days are easier than others...If you know what I mean."

"Yeah, I hear you there. Since I have you here, can I give you my number. In case you need help with anything. I owe your brother a lot, both financially and a few favors." He smiled, " and trust me if you need anything, I mean anything. I can get it." He winked and nodded at the Vangaurd prototype parked with several people staring at it. He wasn't even going to fake that he wasn't trying to impress her, he was. "Sorry I can get a bit showy."

If he was trying to impress her then he did a good damn job about it, it was hard to resist when he was smiling like that. "Hmm..yeah, yeah sure," she smiled again and blushed a little when he winked at her. When he apologize for being all showy over her she had to laugh. "I can see that," she waited for him to give her his phone number. "And your name is...?" they've been talking for the past 10 minutes and he never mentioned his name.

Walter debated using his real name for once, but if Dom would remember him it would be as an informant on shipping dates way back when the team was ripping off 18 wheelers. "Shit, Sorry where are my manners. Walter, Walter Kavanagh." He patted down himself down and muttered something, "You know I have some writing supplies in the car, walk with me?" He tilted his head to the side nodded towards his car. "Give you a closer look at the thing too. It's beautiful from afar and even more so up close." He knew sure as hell that the Toretto family has gas flowing through their veins pumping into a fuel injected heart, he highly doubted she'd pass up the chance to see a car that hasn't hit the market yet.

She hesitated for a minute. "Yeah, I'd love too," she followed him to where his car was. It was a beautiful car he was right about that and as she got closer she started to get a better look. Forgetting for a moment she had to enter the gym before heading back home.

Her eyes sparkle suddenly wanting nothing more than to feel that adrenaline rush, to hear the wheels of the car burning on the pavement. She couldn't help but smile to herself remembering those nights when she used to go with her brother and the other guys to the street race. She was young, reckless and naive at the time...

OOC: I have to agree with Brian! 'He knew sure as hell that the Toretto family has gas flowing through their veins pumping into a fuel injected heart' LOVE THAT LINE!

Walter could see the gleam in her eyes. She was already picturing what it would be like to drive something like this. Slowly he opened the passenger door and pulled a pen and pad from the glove compartment and jotted down his number. "You know, there's a closed road down the block." His smile turned mischievious as he held held the keys up. "Want to?"

The man recognized her, was giving her his number and now he was asking her if she wanted to jump in the passenger seat or even drive his car just like that? This time she didn't hesitate. "Sounds tempting... but, maybe another time?" tearing her gaze from his smile and handsome face to look down at her watch. "I really should get going," pointing to the gym. "It was nice meeting you, Walter"

"Good to meet you face to face. If you see your brother tell him I say hi and pass along my offer." He handed the number to her slowly and let his hand brush over hers lightly. "My phones on pretty much all the time so even if you just want to chat give me a ring." He stepped away and around to the driver side after shutting the passenger door. After dissapearing inside the car the engine started up with a quiet hum and he pulled away from the lot slowly with a satisfied grin on his face. "It's been a good morning." He thought to himself.

"I will let him know..." his hand was warm as he handed her the small piece of paper with his phone number. "Thanks.." she simply said as he entered the car and drove away. She took a few seconds to look at the number. "Dom, you have some explaining to do.." she whispered to herself. Her eyes focused on the number in black ink.
