- - -
The police station wasn't really a new place to Matt. Quiet and studious as he normally was, he also had an unfortunate habit of picking fights with just about anyone that caused his family trouble. Rude customers, sore losers, anyone who didn't speak to Mia respectfully... Yes, he'd memorized the clack of heels on the tile floor and the metallic scraping of handcuffs.
The motley crew in the holding cell was certainly a sight. Letty, Dom, Matt, Jesse, and Brian, along with several other unfortunate racers, were crammed into the small area, shifting nervously. It was enough to make Matt claustrophobic.
Before long, an officer entered the room. "Toretto," he read from a clipboard. Dom stepped to the front of the pack. "You're comin' with me. Rest of you, get outta my sight." They shuffled out in single file, relief palpable in the air. Matt and the crew headed up the rear.
Dom had been taken to an empty room, and was being questioned by an officer Matt didn't recognize. He was loud, abrasive, talked a lot of shit. Told Dom he'd had his eye on him since he got out of prison and was just waiting for him to screw up.
Matt began to memorize his voice, scent, footsteps. If assaulting an officer blew his chance at law school, well, there were worse things.
Letty came around the corner and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey. This might be a while. Jesse's already not doin' so hot, since, y'know, the car thing. I'm gonna take him home."
"Where is he?"
"Already waiting in the car. I know you and him are joined at the hip. but... I don't think talking to him's gonna help right now."
Matt nodded. Some things, talking couldn't solve. "What about Dom, though?"
She sighed. This sucks, but... we've been in worse situations. They're gonna try and shake him down, scare him, but truth is the only charge they've got him on is the racing."
Matt listened in on Dom again. The officer wasn't letting up. "I'm still gonna stay," he said firmly.
"Yeah, figures," Letty sighed fondly. "Brian's car is still parked out front, so he's around here somewhere. Call him so he doesn't leave without you."
"Sure."
And with that, Matt was alone with his thoughts. What Letty had said about the cops having nothing on Dom was technically true, but he still wasn't well-liked. The officer interrogating him seemed determined to get him on a more serious charge, and although Dom wasn't likely to just tell him about their... second job, he was worried the man would hurt Dom trying to make it happen.
He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. It had been a long day already, shaping up to be an equally long night.
"Mind if I sit down?"
The strangely chipper voice snapped Matt out of his thoughts. He nodded, barely acknowledging him.
"Is that who you're waiting on?" The man (boy, probably, sounded about Matt's age) was likely pointing to the window where anyone else would be able to see the officer slam his fists on the table across from Dom.
"He's my brother," Matt replied hesitantly, unsure of why this total stranger was talking to him at all.
The boy whistled. "Don't know what he did to piss the cops off so bad, but they're really putting the pressure on him. They can't actually get him for much, but my boss and I showed up just in case."
"Your boss?" Matt turned to him, and immediately heard his heartbeat speed up wildly. Weird.
"Wow. Um, I mean, yeah, my boss." He paused for a moment, heartbeat steadying. "Drew Pendleton, one half of Pendleton & McNeil. Defense attorney, and one of Dominic Toretto's friends from way back. He keeps an eye on things sometimes... mostly when his girlfriend calls us. Makes sure he's not getting into too much trouble."
Matt wanted to say you don't know the half of it, but settled for "That's... nice of you both."
The two sat in dead silence for a couple of minutes. Matt barely needed his enhanced senses to tell that his new companion's heartbeat was screaming "Say something!" Maybe he's afraid of saying something stupid to the blind kid, he decided. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. He decided to cut him some slack.
"So..." Matt began casually. "You're not Pendleton, and something tells me you're not McNeil."
He made a sound feigning offense. "What makes you say that? I could totally be a lawyer."
"Please, you sound maybe sixteen."
"I'll have you know I look twenty-five," he huffed. "A good twenty-five. Like, a really macho twenty-five." Matt hoped the other man was looking in his direction so he could see the eye roll. "Okay, fine," he pouted. "I'm seventeen."
Matt counted off on his fingers. "Seventeen, not a lawyer... What does that make you, exactly?"
"Foggy Nelson," he introduced himself at last. "Secretary at law."
The note of pride in Foggy's voice made Matt grin in spite of everything that had happened. "Matt Toretto. Murdock-Toretto, actually. Adopted. Long story. Occupation..." He shrugged. "Delinquent, mostly."
"Matt Murdock-Toretto, delinquent," Foggy repeated. "It's got a nice ring to it, anyway."
"Secretary probably pays better."
- - -
Foggy had a contagious laugh, as it turned out, and made good conversation once he collected himself from whatever earlier anxiety he had. Talking to him sort of helped him tune out the myriad of background noise that had begun to give him a headache. He had even managed to stop worrying about Dom too much. After all, he had lawyer friends.
"God, what time is it?" Foggy asked at last. "And where did Mr. Pendleton go, anyway?"
Matt tapped his watch, which read out the time. "Nine-thirty," he repeated. "We've been here for almost three hours."
"Damn, they must really be going after- Wait, where is he?"
Matt started to ask who, but then he realized: Dom was no longer in the questioning room. How did I miss that? He quickly extended his senses out past the lobby, but was overwhelmed momentarily by the noise coming from every direction.
Foggy noticed that he had flinched. "Hey, he's gotta be here somewhere," he assured him. "He's probably just talking to my boss."
"Yeah, I'm not worried," Matt lied.
He heard the footsteps about ten seconds before Foggy said "Speak of the devil!" Dom and Mr. Pendleton were talking casually, heartbeats bearing no indication of trouble.
Foggy hurried over to them. "What's the verdict?"
Dom sounded tired, but the note of triumph in his voice was unmistakable. "Charges dropped."
"See?" Foggy was back at Matt's side, smile evident in his voice. "He's got a hell of a lawyer!"
Dom put a hand on Matt's shoulder. "You shoulda gone home with Letty," he chided.
"Guess I'm a glutton for punishment." He turned his head toward Foggy's voice, now talking to his boss. "Company wasn't bad."
"Huh." There was something strange in Dom's voice, but before he could question it, Dom's phone rang.
Matt's attention drifted to Foggy's conversation. "Weirdest thing," Pendleton was saying. "Some guy came in, asked to speak to the officer in private... They were really hashing it out in there. Next thing you know, though, he's off scot-free. Not that I'm complaining..."
"That was Brian," Dom called, striding back across the lobby. "He's parked out front. The hell is he still doing here?"
"Same thing I am?" Matt suggested.
"You change your tune about him?"
"Well, near-death experiences will do that to you."
Dom sighed. "Don't remind me. Anyway, I guess it was for the best. They might have let me off, but they still got my car. Might be a few days before I get it back." He stretched and cracked his knuckles. "That took way too goddamn long. Let's get outta here."
"Wait, hold up!"
Matt turned toward Foggy's voice. His heartbeat was erratic again; he was fidgety. "Look at that," Dom announced suddenly. Another phone call." He heard the flip of the phone and his too-casual footsteps straight out the front door, and then they were alone.
Foggy stepped up to face Matt (a little too close, maybe). "So... This was fun, huh?"
The corner of Matt's mouth turned up. "I've had worse nights."
He could practically feel Foggy's palms sweating. "So, uh... maybe you want to... do this again sometime? Somewhere a little nicer than the police station lobby?"
And suddenly, everything clicked. The heartbeat, the stammering, the sweaty palms...
I'm the biggest idiot on the face of the earth.
He must have hesitated too long. "Or- I mean- God, you probably have to leave, your brother's waiting, let's just forget-"
Matt grabbed Foggy's arm too quickly, forgetting he wasn't really supposed to know exactly where it was. "Foggy." Foggy froze, and Matt paused maybe a moment longer than strictly necessary. He smiled. "Pick me up tomorrow night?"
Foggy's heartbeat didn't sound even remotely healthy anymore. "Yeah! Sure! I'll, uh- here, gimme your phone number-"
- - -
Later, as Brian drove them all home, Matt asked what the phone call earlier was about.
There was no hiding the grin in Dom's voice. "Telemarketer," he replied, feigning nonchalance with very little success. "So... Foggy, huh?"
This was going to be a long drive.
