To any customer wandering in, the sight might have seemed a little weird.
A pair of worn, ripped jeans sticking out from between the jukebox and the wall, muttered curses floating out through the quiet room.
The few regulars perched at the bar were used to it, and knew well enough to stick to their drinks as the surly bartender fixed the machine. Again.
The lights on the jukebox flickered, and were quickly followed by a new round of cussing.
"SONofaBITCH! Fix a damn car in seconds but cat I fix the lousy machine? Noooooo, instead it tries to kill me," he muttered, sucking on his burned fingers and eyeing the wires with undisguised hostility.
Sighing, he took a swig of his beer. At least the damn thing hadn't broken when the night was in full swing like last time, but seriously. He was a mechanic, not a damn electrician.

Leon walked into the bar, he needed a stiff drink before he headed over to Mia's needed to deal with everything before he faced her again. A familar voice floated through the air, he raised a brow, it was familar.
The head popped out and stood turning to the bar hell the tattoos were familiar to, so this was where he had been all this time. Leon let out a low chuckle leaning agasint the bar.
"Well coyote juke box's and cars are to ends of a broad spectrum" he laughed at his old time friend

Vince shot up so fast, he whacked his head on the metal cover, rubbing his head even as he stood up, eyes wide.
"Leon? When the hell did you get back in town man?" he bellowed, stepping over and doing the manly-hug-slapping-the-shoulder-thing.
"Long time not see. Let me buy you a beer, brother," he grinned, glad to see his old friend, even after all the time without talking.

Leon laughed stepping back slightly as he looked over at his friend, it was good to be back in town, where all his friends, his family were, he moved over to the bar stool seating himself in it smoothly.
"Couple of hours ago"he replied watching his movments as he moved behind the bar

A God damn bar. Letty eyed the scene before her as she started in and didn't really pay attention to anything until she moved over past Vince and Leon. First the Latina sat in front of the Jukebox and then grabbed onto a piece of duct tape not too far away, patched up the cord and plugged in a wire to the back. The thing blasted Guns and Roses in no time.
"That's how you do it." the Latina looked so sure of herself with a grin and looked to the two guys. "Don't get all mushy on me." there was sadness in her eyes.
"Now give me a damn Corona."

Vince grinned at Leon, sliding a Corona across the bar. "Well, at least you weren't avoiding me. How you been?" he asked.
It had been long years since he'd seen his old friend, or even been called Coyote. Not since he got locked up and the others scattered. But he liked how somethings never changed, and he could almsot imagine everything was normal.
Almost.
He didn't even notice Letty entering the bar, and nealry jumped out of his skin when the music suddenly blasted out of the supposedly broken jukebox. He blinked in shock at the woman standing in front of the machine, his might not quiet comprehending the ghost in front of him.
He wanted to whoop, jump for joy, high-five Leon...something. But he was in shock, and acted on her order of a beer before he could gather his thoughts.
Grabbing another beer, he scooped the fiesty mechanic up in a big-bear hug before finally haning her the beer. "I heard you were dead," he greeted her frankly. "What happened?"

Leon smiled over at his long time friend expecting the beer greatfully, he knew he was going to need it.
"Na man iv been in Miami with my sister, preety cut of" He took a dig swallow of the beer, savouring the taste
"So what happened with you dawg?"He questioned, music blastering the speakers, he turned in the direction the woman oddly familar, it couldnt be could it, but with a quick sweep of her face and the look on Vince's face he knew it was.
"Chica, what...how"He voiced Vinces earlier sentiments

"...miracles happen?" Letty tried to smile, but it was faint. "I owe you guys a long-" but was cut off suddenly when her petite frame was grabbed up into a bear hug. She immediately hugged him back as hard as she could, though the woman wasn't one for mushy stuff. When he put her down, Let offered a grin to them as she uncapped her beer and took a long swig of it.
"Story." the girl finally finished her sentence.
"Where's Dom?" she hesitated to ask, no one around here knew her thank God, but someone... somewhere out there probably didn't want her around. She knew too much.
Bumping the juke with her hip, it stopped playing as she had hit the appropriate button with her side.
"So?"

Vince looked between Letty and Leon, wondering if the other guy knew what was going on. He hadn't known the deal with Dom until he'd spoken to Brian, but he'd be willling to bet the two of them would be up for whatever half-assed rescue attempt they tried.
"Letty...Dom's in Lompoc. He and Brian...they busted some heads, brought down the badass they thought killed you," he explained. "I don't know specifics, but the Feds backed out on their deal with Dom. He got picked up for his prior warrants, judge sent him down, despite O'Connor's testimony on Dom's behalf."

Leon raised a brow shaking his head, his gaze flicking over to Letty watching how she took the noise, Lompoc after all was a place Dom had sworn he'd never go back to, not alive at least.
"Typical feds"He spoke cooly from his place at the bar
He looked down at his beer bottle deep in thought, Dom had his back on more then one occasion, he lifted his gaze looking back at his long time friend and then to Letty, she was a sister to him, her and Mia both, it wasnt fair, things had gone from good to bad since he had arrived back in town.
"So whats O'Conner got up his sleeve?"He questioned, he honestly didnt think Brian would just let Dom go without a fight not after he had given up his badge for him

"Hell, if I know." Letty offered sourly, her dark eyes flickering back to Vince and finally to Leon. "What the hell do you mean he's in Lompoc?" she questioned. Some of the regulars didn't bother look up from their drinks, they knew better. "How ...how did he get there?" she was practically yelling now. Hands turned into fists at her side. "You guys didn't spring him? Didn't do one thing?!" she was angry, and had a right to be. "I leave...and things fall apart. What does Mia think about this?" the woman did realize that they didn't need to fall in the blame here.
She was to blame.
After all, Dom probably figured her had nothing left to go back to.
Her heart sank.

"Chill, Let," he said, trying to get her to quieten down a little. It was one thing to plot to bust Dom out, but they didn't need to whole bar listening in.
He tugged her a little closer to where Leon was standing, and decided to answer them both at once. "Bri's got a plan. We've already got some people in on it. We ain't gonna leave him to rot, Letty," he said firmly.
Even if they'd never done a thing to help him.
"Look, this ain't the place," he said, his voice low. "But we can meet up with Brian or something and talk it out, alright?"

Leon nodded eyes locked with Vince's, he slung an arm around Letty
"Ol Coyote's right, chica" He rubbed her arm "This aint your fault"He stated looking down at her, they had been close once, him and her. He lifted his gaze away from her pain streaked face and looked at Vince, quietly telling him he was in on what ever it was, Dom had his back once, he was going to have his back now.
"So we'll catch Bri later"He agreed wondering when Vince and the 'Busta' had gotten over their differences

Daniella came running into the bar she jumped over the counter and sat on the floor trying to catch her breath. While she was on the floor catching her breath these two guys came in behind her, they were looking around. They walked up to bar and asked Vince. "Did you a girl come running in here?" Dani knew that Vince wouldn't tell them that she was behind the counter.
She looked up at Vince shaking her head no. What she did Vince wouldn't be happy with her.

Leon watched the woman with mild interest his brow raised as she scooted down under the bar, then looked over at Vince who was eyeing her with mild annoyance, the two men followed her though soon had all the pecies fitting together.
He shook his head sitting back in mild amusment, his arm still slung around Letty's shoulder, he shook his head, Boy things really hadnt changed, Trouble and interest at every corner

"Yeah, she stole my car. Jesus, she went that way." Letty frowned, hiding her smirk. The two guys laughed at Vince and Leon, then eyed Letty and another female in the distance who was taking her drink. "Must have been a piece of shit." the man replied as Leticia looked sour. "It was a very expensive piece of shit. I dare you to say that one more time." she held up a fist to him, despite Leon with his arm around her shoulders. The man backed off seeing the two men and the woman and finally frowned, muttering something.
"Go get it." Let muttered.
The man was beyond angry but he finally shook his head. "Bitch." he muttered, more or so to the other girl that supposed 'stole' Letty's car.
"What was that?" the brunette asked.

Dani peaked up over the counter looking to see if the guys were gone as they were walking away she placed the keys onto the counter. She stood up and yelled out to them. "Boys, you want your crappy car back." She throw the keys at them.
The boys left the bar annoyed. Dani glanced at Letty and Leon. "Hi guys." she smiled and laughed as she made herself a drink. While she was making the drink she explained what was going on.
"That was my ex boyfriend and his friend. They wanted to race but my car is in the shop, so I drove my ex's car..." she paused to take a sip of her drink. "I smoked them. I continued to drive her to the bar they followed me."
Dani was wondering in her head if Leon and Letty had remembered Dani, When Vince was living in California she was back home in Mexico dealing with her father.

Vince could only stare in shock as his sister came bounding in, closely followed by a couple goons. His shock quickly turned to annoyance at the fact trouble seemed to follow her around, no matter how loud he bellowed.
Lucky for him - or more likely, lucking for Dani - Letty was quick enough to step in an send the guys off. Only then Dani had to blow it all with her smart mouth, and for a second Vince thought they'd end up in a bar fight.
Which would inevitably result in him losing his job.
"Dani, I swear to god..." he shook his head, his fists clenching. "You have worse taste in men than mom did."
Picking up his beer, he shot her a glare. "And get your ass out from behind the bar unless you're actually planning on gettin' a job here," he shot Letty and Leon a tired look. "Guys, you remember my pain-in-the-ass little sister, right?"

Leon stared over at the woman that was busy staring at Vince a look of amusment across her preety little face. He did remember her, but he didnt remember her being this damn sexy. He allowed his gaze to roam over her, before his gaze settled onto her face.
"Sure do dog, although she's sure grown up" He smiled, over at Vince, it was a good job they were friends.

Dani walked around to the other side of the bar toward Leon and Letty, she sat on a stole spinning it toward the bar. She grunted at Vince "I do not have a bad taste in men, your the one the who has the bad taste in woman. Like the blond chick you brought home a week ago." She smirk at him "And I do work here, you goof, I just don't work at the bar, you just never remember because I work the day shift. Can you hand me my drink please." Dani swiveled her body toward Leon. "Hi, Leon."She smiled at him while thinking when the last time Leon saw her. "The last time you saw me was when..." she paused to count her in her head how long she was in Mexico. "I was sixteen, I believe." She glanced over at Vince "Does that sound about right?" she asked him reaching for her drink then taking a sip of it.
Dani looks at Letty and smiles at her. "Hi Letty"
