Faye sighed as she stuffed her papers into her bag, she had three months worth of work to catch up, and her boss was starting her back easy, she laughed dryly, if he called the work load she had just been given starting back easy he had apparently had a brain transplant. She had been dumped on two cases, both of which none of the others wanted, and a high rise case with her boss and senior partner. Yawning she brushed a hand through her hair. It had been tied back into a bun, now it hung loose, tendrils of hair framing her tired looking face.
Readjusting her hold on her bag she headed down stairs, her mind was racing, already thinking of all the shit she was going to have to do, plus adding to the that finding time to see, or at least speak to Jeremy, find a place to live, because if she had to live with her brother any longer she was going to kill him.
Rummaging around she reached into her pocket to grab her keys, which jingled in her hand. She had taken to parking in the under ground lot, despite the training given to Walter, she had learned the hard way when it came to parking elsewhere. With furrowed brow she spun around, to find the lot empty, shaking her head, and laughing at herself for jumping at shadows she turned, and almost walked sach bang into someone. “Johnny”

"Hello Faye," Johnny said smiling, though it didn't hold any warmth in it at all, "We should have a little talk you and I. Seeing as you and Jeremy are seeing each other and all, I have to say I'm impressed. Your the first woman who has known who he works for and hasn't left yet, normally I've kept him from drinking himself to death by this time."
Johnny didn't feel like being around the bush with her, after all she was a lawyer, she'd be able to handle the cold hard truth about anything he told her. Jeremy had been stupid when he had pulled his wallet out of his pocket and set it on the desk in front of him. It had been easy to nick the thing while Jeremy was engrossed in his number crunching and even easier to find his new flings business card.
Don't get Johnny wrong he did care about Jeremy's mental well being but to Johnny, Jeremy was an asset, and any threat to his assets had to be taken care of accordingly.

The smile that Johnny gave her did nothing but give her the creeps, she heaved in a breath lifting an uninterested brow at his words. Scoffing and rolling her eyes she laughed, “Ever thought its cus you’re a dick” She stated her dark eyes blazing with anger as she watched him. Being this close to him brought back that phone call, Lee telling her that Jesse had been shot…that he was dead.
Swallowing down the emotion she heaved in a slow, trembling she continued eyeing the man in front of her, gaze wondering over his features. She had no idea how Jeremy could work for this man, but he wasn’t one to judge, nor was she going to judge.
With a shake of her head, more hair fell from her bun and she gave a frustrated mental sigh, she knew Johnny’s type, knew how they went about things, she wasn’t about going to give him a leg to stand on. “Its was a pleasure meeting you Tran, but I have nothing to say to you, and you have nothing I want to hear” With a smile, one that did reach her eyes, and probably showed more of her nerves then she wanted, she stepped closer. “I’m with Jeremy, and he’s happy deal with it” She stepped back , and around him, ready to move towards hers Dodge.

Johnny took a step over blocking her way again, "Oh I have plenty to say Ms. Perez and at least some of it you'll want to hear. I've known Jeremy for long enough to know a thing or two about his bad habits. Of course if your happy with the man you think you know, I'll trust you know to keep an eye on your possessions. Jeremy has such sticky fingers with valuable possessions."
He turned walking away from her, if she took the bait, she and he would be having a long talk about her walking away from his assets. She was going to be an asset herself if she decided to take care of Jeremy for him, she was a lawyer and lawyers are helper.

Faye rose a brow and licked her lips as she eyed hiim with a deep sigh, her dark eyes showing the fact she was far then amused. "I think i know Jeremy better then you think Johnny" She stated, yet she had been bitten mroe then once, and she didnt fancy dealing with anothe sour relationship.
With a sigh she turned her gaze over to him, reminding herself this was Johnny Tran, she couldnt trust a word out of his mouth, "Ill listen, so if youve got something to say, get it said"

Johnny turned slightly and looked over his shoulder at her, "If you know him so well then you should know the last relationship he was in got him shot. I guess he hasn't learned that woman and what he does don't mix together, I do hope you don't have a brother willing to kill a man. I doubt he'd be stable enough if it missed."
Johnny turned away from her, it was her life. All he did was make sure she knew that her life wasn't going to be perfect anymore if Jeremy staid in it.

Faye furrowed her brow, he had told her he had been shot, but not the in's and out's of it, and she already knew Lee hated Jeremy, yet since when did she listen to her brother.
"Thats it, your big intimidating words" She stated, she stepped closer towards him, obviously he wasnt aware of who she was, or hadnt connected the dots anyway. Smiling she licked her lips, dark eyes locked on his face. "Leon deals with what ever makes me happy, but if Jeremy, or you cross a line im sure hell deal with it, but then you know all about how Leon deals with things" She shook her head, laughing drly.
"That it, are we done now"

Johnny looked at her, "I know Leon has a particular sweet spot for protecting his family, it was funny though, he wasn't there to stop Jesse. I guess he's just not as good at protecting people as you think. Oh and Faye, so long as your seeing one of my assets we aren't ever done."
Johnny slipped onto the bike and looked at her as he pulled the helmet on, he had known who he was toeing with. He knew exactly who she was and he was kind of happy that she was Leon's sister, it would be easy to pick them off one by one when the big bad Dominic Toretto was off running to keep his ass out of jail.

Faye's face went white at the mention of Jeese, swallowing down the lump in her throat her brow furrowed as she watched him, anger rising, she couldnt rise to it, she wasnt stupid, and even though every part of her body was screaming for her to hit him she didnt, Johnny Tran wasnt the type of guy you wentand hit, not without receieving something back.
Heaving in trembling breaths she watched him slide onto his bike then walked over towards him, "You dont intimidate me Tran, iv dealt with far worse, and if this is some kind of warning, i aint listening" Smirking she slide pasthim and the bike.

Johnny laughed shaking his head, "If I don't intimidate you Faye, why are you shaking? Oh you can give this back to Jeremy next time you see him," Johnny said as he pulled the bike beside her and held out the business card he had stolen, "Till next time Perez, till next time."
Johnny drove off then with a sort of wicked grin, he was going to get to Leon and that was going to get Toretto's attention. Then he'd have himself that healthy bounty that was out for Toretto in chains.

No other guy unnerved her the way he had, taking her business card she watched him leave, her heart was hammering beneath her chest, and she ran a shaky hand through her hair, scrambling for her phone while attempting to keep her other bag from falling to the floor she continued her path for the car.
Once she was safely inside she locked the doors and allowed herself a moment to relax, to breath. Licking her lips she scrolled for Jer before pressing the phone to her ear, his voice sounded down the phone and she smiled softly “We need to talk, can we meet”

Jeremy was instantly on alert mode as sat bolt up on his couch, "Yeah of course. Where are you? Do you need me to come get you? What happened?" He couldn't help the rapid fire of his questions as he stood and took a quick glance around locating his shoes and his keys.
His free hand double checked the fact that his wallet was indeed still in his back pocket where it took residence most days.

Faye laughed softly, "Im at work, ill meet you at the shack" Pulling out of the parkiing lot she pulledonto the street while quickly making her phone hands free, being pulled over by the cops wasnt her idea of fun.
"Im fine...honest...ill see you soon" She eneded the call and made her way over towards the beach, she was there and seated before Jeremy showed up, when he did she smiled and waited for him to sit opposite her.
Heaving in a breath she slid over the buissness card she had given him only days before.

Jeremy had nodded before he rushed out of his apartment and was flying down the road like a bat out of hell. When he got to the beach her car was already there. Frowning he jogged to the shack and slipped inside, goosebumps raising from the sudden shock of cold on his bare arms.
He slipped into the chair across from her and looked confused at the business card. Jeremy's brain paused for a moment before he leaned forward slightly and pulled his wallet out quickly opening it to find the one she had given him. Not finding it he looked at her as realization dropped like a lead weight into his stomach. Johnny.
Groaning Jeremy leaned back running a hand over his face, "Fuck, what the hell did he say? He didn't threaten you did he? Cause I'm not against flipping on him..."

Faye laughed, "Trust me if he had threatened me you'd be having a whole different conversation, only this time with the cops" She smiled, oddly enough, while yes Johnny did intimidate her, because sheknew what he was capable of, he didnt scare her, not the way hethought he did any way.
Swallowing she looked up at him, dark eyes sparkling, "He just wanted me to make sure i knew what i was getting in with you...something about sticky fingers and your lass girl getting you shot" Drawing her lower lip between her teeth she let out a soft breath.
"In all honesty though i think he's using me to get at Lee, so he can get to Dom"

Jeremy groaned again rubbing his temples, he need to be drunk to be think about 'that', so he answered the other part of her statement.
"Years ago, I had a bad habit of stealing expensive cars and bikes, I may have nicked a few from the Trans, before we had officially met. But I mean that... I... well I get that kind of stuff now racing, if I really want a bike or something. Some days I swear he's out to ruin my life..." Jeremy grumbled resting his forearms on the table as his back hunched.
"Dom... the big guy with the shaved head from the BBQ?" he questioned, trying to place a face with a name, "If so I don't know why, that guy could break Johnny like a twig. In any case I'm just glad your okay. I... I think I would have killed him if he did something to you."

Faye licked her lips, noting how he had ignored the first partof her words, withasmile she shugged her shoudlers, "Dom and him have history" She stated, witha small shrug of oher shoulders. Licking her lips she smiled softly.
"One thingi learned about Johnny is apparently he doestn like not intimidating people" She let out a breath her gaze locked onto his face, "Im okay honestly, i just think he wanted to make sure i wasnt about to fuck him over because im with you"

Jeremy nodded that would make sense, Johnny had a sick way of getting back at old business partners.
He snorted at that, "Yeah Johnny really isn't happy unless he's intimidating someone. He's tried it on me and I just push him around and threaten his life style, so he doesn't try it all too often anymore. But if he does it again just tell me, I'll make a point to leave you alone. Intimidation on him works just as well as his works on every one else."
Jeremy couldn't imagine why Johnny would ever think Faye would fuck him over, it was stupid because flipping on Johnny meant she was going to drag Jeremy down as well.

Faye reached across the table taking his handbetween both of hers.She lifted her gaze smiling softly, "JUst leave him, okay, if he comes and 'talks' again ill deal with him" Drawing her lower lip between her teeth, she let out a soft breath.
"Im not gonna bother telling Lee, but these are gonna get messy real soon" She frowned ever so slightly, could thing never be simple.

Jeremy nodded and looked at Faye and then down at their hands, "Thank you, for staying with me through all this bullshit with Johnny. How can I make it up to you?"
He was looking at her appreciatively, she was going out on a blind limb to trust him. There weren't too many people in his life that would even bother to see where he was if he had gone missing for 10 months. Taking a deep breathe to looking at her, "There anything else he 'inform' you of?"
