Letty squinted through the windshield at the dirt road ahead. "Are you sure this is going back home?" she asked unsure of the winding path of the river.
The road was bumpy as hell, and doing absouletly nothing for her aching body. She bit her lip biting back curses at every rut in the road.
"When I get hold of that hijo de puta I'll kill him." she said referring to Braga.

The Skyline came to a halt near the dried out river bed. Brian got out and opened the door for Letty. "Jack, you have to bring Letty across the border by foot. I can't drive across otherwise we'll have patrols on our tail. are you going to make it, Letty?" He looked around. Everything was quiet. The only sound came from a thousand crickets in the low brush and dry grass. "I'll drive through the checkpoint and meet you on the other side."

Letty grabbed the door, and hauled herself out of the car. It hurt like hell, but she sucked it up and managed to atleast get out of the car.
She wrapped an arm around her torso, disliking the discomfort of her broken ribs. It took a lot out of her.
"I think...I'll manage," she answered breathlessly. "How far do we gotta walk?" she asked looking around.

Brian winced when he saw that she walked hunched over holding on to her ribs. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. But there wasn't a hospital around and no doctor was open that late at night. So they might as well try and make it home. "Probably one mile or so. Please don't risk anything. If you run into a patrol car wait until I'm there. Then I'll play the FBI card. You have to make it to the US side though."

Jack looked between Brian and Letty and listened to his brother's ridiculous idea. He knew the Mexican/US border was strictly guarded and tended to have a lot of patrols from both countries. He'd also heard about illegal border crossers ending up with a bullet in their ass because of that fact.
"Damn, bro. You really thought this through, didn't you?" He shook his head and looked over at the clearly hurting Letty. As much as he hated the plan, it was the only shot they had at getting her over the border. "You sure you alright? We gotta be able to move fast if necessary."

Brian grinned at Jack. "Since when are you such a sissy? I'll go with Letty and you can drive across if you want to." He nodded toward the dried out river bed. "If you have a chance the here. It's harder to spot you down there."

Jack raised an eyebrow at his brother's insult. That, he did not appreciate. "Bro, I just jumped off a bridge to save your friend while you pranced your way down the river bank, remember, sissy?"
His gaze followed the river bed as far as possible in the dark before he nodded. "I'll go with Letty since I can't pull an FBI badge. You just make sure you're there on the other side, smartass."

Letty tried and failed to supress a laugh, "You guys stop making me laugh..." she winced grinning at Brian.
"I think I can manage, I don't think that this situation can get much worse." she assured Jack.
"Just point the way and I'll drag my ass there if I have to." she said taking in a deep breath.

"Just what I wanted to hear!" Brian clapped Jack on the back and the roamed around in the back of his car. He reappeared with a Magnum in his hand, which he filled with bullets, closed it and gave it a spin. Then handed it to Jack. "Don't shoot yourself in the foot."
He got back in the car and sped off leaving a cloud of dust in the air.

Jack mockingly mimicked Brian's last words while he watched the Skyline speed away and shoved the gun in his waistband.
He shook his head and turned towards Letty while he motioned towards the river bed. "Ready to go, my fair lady?"
"If you need any help, just ask. No need to be shy." He mumbled before he began making his way down the path.

Letty watched Jack walking down the path with ease. "Dammit he makes that look so easy, which it should be if Fenix hadn't decided to make me his human kick ball." she grumbled.
She took in a deep breath bracing herself she managed to straighten up, and take a few steps forward following Jack's lead down the path.
She inclined her head hopefully, "So far so good..." she breathed.

The Skyline flew down the dusty path as fast as the dirt road allowed. Brian got shaken around in his seat quite a bit but he wanted to make sure that he'd be waiting on the other side of the border when Letty and Jack came across in case they had to make a fast get-away.
At the border he showed his passport and watched as the officer looked around his car through the side window. After a few moments, that had Brian fidget in his seat, he motioned for Brian to continue driving.
Now he only had to find a road that would lead him to the river bed.

Jack looked over his shoulder for a moment, hearing the heavy breaths coming from Letty. "You ok back there?"
He stopped when he noticed she was still fairly far behind and turned around. For him it was like a stroll in the park, but for her it clearly wasn't. "Look man, like I said.. If you need help, just ask."
While he took the few steps back towards her, he gave her once again a concerned once over. "Why'd they do this to you anyway?"

Letty leaned over on her knees panting hard from the effort it was taking to walk the path of the river. It had been going well until her ribs started to bother her again.
"I'm...fine," she said through gritted teeth, she sure as hell didn't feel fine. "It's beyond me why they felt the need to make my life a living hell, I wouldn't give them what they wanted...I wouldn't tell them who had sent me...so they decided a nice beat down would change my mind.
She looked up at him, and motioned for him to come closer. "I need you to be a human crutch if we are going to have any hope of reaching Brian today."

Brian drove back and forth trying to find a dirt road to his left. he grew more nervous by the minute until he finally found something that was more of a path than a road. The rocks and brush connected with the bottom of his car. "Shit." Brian curse crossing his fingers that his car wouldn't be ripped apart from underneath. In the dark it was hard to not loose the right track or orientation and it took him about half an hour to find a dried out river bed. He shut of the lights and slowly rolled the last bit of the way. The moon lit the area enough to see.
No Letty or Jack were anywhere in sight.

Jack nodded and put an arm around her midriff, careful not to hurt her anymore than necessary, and helped her stand up a bit better. "We really gotta start putting our asses in gear. Brian's probably already waiting."
He looked ahead to the path, seeing nothing but the same. Rocks, shrubs and those damn loud crickets. "Damnit, I fucking hate Mexico!"
With Letty hobbling beside him, he continued following the path. Hopefully they would reach that border soon.

The night wasn't dark but the US Border Patrol still used large spotlights to search the fenceline for people, who were trying to get across day by day. They would pick them up and bring them back if everthing went well.
One of the men pointed ahead. "Shine the spot over there. Someting's moving!"
Only a moment later a fox stared into the bright spot and ran into a nearby dried out river bed.

Letty put her arm around Jack's shoulders taking some of the weight of herself, and found that it didn't hurt too much now that he was supporting her.
Jack was looking ahead at the path in front of him when he yelled out,"Dammit, I fucking hate Mexico!"
Letty covered her ears, "Uh yeah, you and me both buddy, that's why we're on a mission to get our asses back across the border."
They continued up the path, that looked more of the same like everything else surrounding them. Rocks, and dirt. It was starting to get darker and if they didn't find Brian soon she was sure that Border Patrol would no doubt discover them before.
"It shouldn't be that far off again right?" she asked looking up at Jack. "We aren't lost...right?"

"You want me to go ask for some damn directions? How am I supposed to know." Jack shook his head at Letty's question while he hoped to god they weren't lost. Damn Brian and his stupid idea's.
Not much later, a light shone in the direction of the river bedding not to far from them and he cursed under his breath while he pushed Letty down with him. "Looks like this might be getting a little more difficult than we thought." He muttered in a low voice while he waited for the search light to die out again.

"That was just a fox." The spotlight was turned back at the fence and the car slowly moved ahead. Not too far away sat a Nissan Skyline undetected waiting for two precious passengers.
The men kept searching the area.
