Logan was sat outside as he looked in to distance, there was nothing around them except sand and random crap that no one wants anymore, Logan continued to be mad as Kathrine came up behind him she stopped a fair way behind him, but just enough for him to hear her.

Kathrine: It wasn't your fault.

Logan looked to the ground as it was his fault, Logan wouldn't have got caught by Fenix that night, everyone knows that, hell even Fenix knows that at this point, but Logan got scared for the first time in his life, Logan was scared that he wouldn't come back.

Logan: Do you know, why I told Brian to stick it?

Logan asked Kathrine not turning around, Kathrine took a couple of steps as she got closer to Logan but still kept a few spaces between them.

Kathrine: No... why?

Logan: You.

Kathrine was happy and sad at the same time as she kinda already knew where this conversation is going.

Kathrine: Thank you, I...

Logan: It was a moment of weakness that I can't let happen again.

Logan said cutting her off as he knew she would say those threes words and Logan wouldn't be able to do this, but Logan opted to go for the nicest approach he could at this point, he turned to face her as she was obviously upset at the mood of the conversation.

Logan: Stop it.

Kathrine: Stop what?

Logan: Loving me.

Kathrine wasn't happy about this as Logan wasn't either but it's the only way he can keep her safe at this point along with the people around him.

Logan: Go home, Kat... this life isn't for you, you want marriage and kids, I can't give you that if I'm always looking over my shoulder and I will not bring you down as well.

Logan said walking past her as he went to walk away form the area completely, but Kathrine tried to hold on to one last trick as she let a few tears fall.

Kathrine: Look into my eyes and say that.

Logan stopped as he knew he couldn't do it, Kathrine turned around to see that Logan stopped and still had his back to her.

Kathrine: Come here and tell me that and I'll go.

Kathrine was hoping he wouldn't move, but he did, Logan took a deep breath and walked towards her, but instead of looking into her eyes, he kissed her, Kathrine kissed back but she knew that this was a goodbye kiss as she started to cry even more.

Logan pulled away as he held her cheeks.

Logan: When I'm, free, and I can stop looking over my shoulder, I will find you...

Logan used his thumbs to wipe away her tears as Logan was letting some of his own go.

Logan: ... I love you.

This is the first time Logan has said this to her and he says it as he walks away, Kathrine cried as Logan left her, she understood as he was right, this isn't her world but she did love Logan, why she's not to sure, but it's something about him she can't find in any other man, Logan doesn't look back as she watched him leave as he let his tears fall for the first time since his parents did, Logan felt true sadness...

=========================

The next morning Brian found his way back to the FBI HQ, he got out the elevator as all eyes were on him as he made his way to Penning's office, Brian entered and sat down as Penning was in there along with Stasiak.

Penning: You better have one hell of an explanation. You disobeyed a direct order. Where's the shipment?

Brian: It's safe.

Brian sad calmly as Penning was clearly loosing his patients with the young FBI agent.

Penning: It's safe.

Brian: Look, we could use the shipment to parade in front of the media, get a few hundred pounds of heroin off the streets, but Braga's just gonna send another shipment next week and the week after that. Let's use the shipment to lure Braga out and lop the head off a multi-billion dollar cartel.

Penning was listening to him as was Stasiak, but Penning wasn't really buying it but still decided to play Brian's game.

Penning: And how do you suggest we do that?

Brian: A hand-to-hand exchange with Braga.

Stasiak, who was watching from the side lines chirped in for the first time.

Stasiak: He'll never show.

Brian: He can't afford not to.

Penning then walked around his desk as he was pondering Brian's words as was Stasiak, Brian was just hopping at this point to try and get the heat off of Dom and Logan, Penning then stopped and looked at Brian.

Penning: You got a plan?

Brian: There's a price.

Both Penning and Stasiak look at Brian as he looks straight into the eyes of his boss.

Brian: We bag Braga, you let Toretto and Kenway walk.

The room filled with a deafening silence as the two agents looked at Brian as Brian didn't look away from his boss...

=========================

Logan and Brian are now working on the car that Dom got Brian, Mia took Kathrine home as Logan changed since that night, he's less talkative and more aggressive, the slightest thing can set him off, have you ever seen someone bend a wrench? Well neither had Dom and Brian till they asked Logan what happened with him and Kathrine last night, Logan just throw it away and grabbed a new one and continued to work, dom and Brian shared a look that said to never bring it up again, but Dom need to make a phone call so the plan can be put into motion.

The phone rings for a second as Dom put's it on loud speaker.

Gisele: Yes?

Dom: It's Dom.

Gisele: I was just thinking about you and your cute friend.

Dom looked over to see Logan getting annoyed, so he took the phone off speaker and held it to his ear.

Gisele: You know, when I gave you both my number, I was hoping you'd call.  But not under these circumstances.

Dom: What circumstances? Us being alive?

Gisele: Don't take it personally. It's just business.

Dom: I got some business of my own. Get Campos.

Logan and Brian stopped working on the car as they listened to Dom as he put the phone back onto the speaker, Campos must have got on the phone as he just made a noise of acknowledgement letting them know he's know on the phone.

Dom: Was that how Brage inspires loyalty? Killing his drivers?

Campos: One can always find more drivers. I't just good business.

Logan was getting fed up with all this business bull shit.

Dom: I want to trade.

Campos: Braga doesn't negotiate.

Dom: Fine.

Dom responded with a scoff.

Dom: You explain to him how all of a sudden $60 million worth of product disappears. I know that can't be good for business.

Campos: What do you want?

Dom: 6 million cash, delivered by Braga himself.

Campos laughs down the phone as Logan went back to working on the car bored of listening to the idiot.

Dom: I don't like being shot at. I ain't gonna put my neck out again unless he's got something to lose, too.

Campos: He'll never go for it.

Dom: Either I deal with Braga, or you do.

Campos: When and where?

Dom, Logan and Brian all got ready to head to the meeting point as they went to get the truck that had the drugs in and waited at the meeting point, Logan sat in the back of the truck with his legs hanging out as Dom and Brian stood in front of him waiting for Braga, the FBI were nearby waiting for Brian to give the signal as Brian gave them both the good news.

Brian: Well, the good news is, when we get this guy, you both walk out of here free men.

Dom: Is that what they told you?

Brian: Yeah, that's the deal.

Logan: You still put milk and cookies out for Santa Clause?

Both Dom and Brian chuckled at him as Fenix's car pulled up closely followed by a few black SUV's, Brian then took something out his pocket and held it to Dom.

Brian: Here. In case things go shitty.

Dom took it as Logan got a good look to see the key to the car that Dom stole for Brian.

Dom: Just like old times?

Brian: Yeah.

Fenix got out his car as Campos followed him, Fenix made sure a bullet was in his chamber as he approached the trio.

Fenix: You dropped something. That's what you wanted, right?

Logan: Ah Puta, shut up for once.

Fenix looked to Logan as Logan looked back.

Fenix: You say something.

Logan: Yeah, I think it was along the lines of fuck and you.

He said holding his left middle finger up when he said 'fuck' and his right one when he said 'you', Fenix got made and started to ramble in Spanish, Logan got up and started to approached Fenix, but Dom and Brian pulled him back.

Logan: You don't like it, go cry to your Mumma.

Logan said sitting back down with a huff as Campos told Fenix to get back in line, Fenix did as Campos approached Dom and Brian.

Campos: He's harmless. Don't worry about him.

Campos said to Dom who hadn't taken his eyes off Fenix since they got here.

Campos: And he's really sorry about Letty.

Dom then looked from Fenix to Campos as Logan smiled knowing that Campos will not get out of here alive now.

Campos: Where's our stuff?

Campos asked Brian as Dom was still staring at him. Brian then went over to the cases they put there and started the plan.

Brian: You mean the stuff that used to be in here, right?

Brian asked opening one of the cases showing it to be empty, Campos didn't look pleased as Brian continued.

Brian: Well, you'll see it when we see Braga. That was the deal.

Brian closed the case as he stepped next to Dom as Logan watched Campos's goons behind him as Logan had a gun on him just in case, obviously he isn't stupid enough to use it in front of the FBI, but he will use if if it's a life or death kinda thing, after this he has to find Kathrine,

Campos: No worries.

Campos said knocking Logan out of his thoughts about Kathrine.

Campos: Braga keeps his word.

Campos walked back towards his group as he made a circle in the air as a signal, Brian, Logan and Dom watched as a older guy got out one of the cars and approached them, the three watched as Braga approached them with a bag in head, but during this a beeping was heard on the FBI fingerprint scanner saying they found a match for Braga's prints meaning they found him.

Braga dropped the bag as he looked to Dom.

Braga: $2 million. You get the rest when I get my property.

Trinh called Stasiak as they were waiting for facial recognition, Brian noticed something about Braga.

Brian: I got a question for you. You wearing pink when you were clawing your way out of el barrio?

Stasiak then called for all agents to move in as he said for them to take the guy in the grey suit, the agents came out of the storage container as Trinh was waiting for the really slow fax to come through, meanwhile Braga was looking between, Brian, Dom and Logan really nervously.

Brian: You're thinking what I'm thinking, right?

Logan: Yep.

Logan said popping the p as he stood between Dom and Brian.

Dom: He ain't Braga.

At that moment, the fax came through and it showed Campos' picture with the name Arturo Braga above it, but it was to late as the FBI agents infiltrated the meeting, Brian pulled 'Braga' to the flor as shots started to go off, Brian then looked to both Dom and Logan.

Brian: Get out of here!

People were dying, it was mainly Braga's guys but the bullets were still flying as Fenix got the real Braga safely in his car, Logan took the key out of Dom's grasp and got in the car, Logan started the engine as Gisele tried to run away from the gun fire, but Fenix went straight towards her, but Dom managed to get her out the way making both of them fly over the hood of the car that Logan is currently waiting in.

Dom: Come on.

Dom said pulling her to her feet and putting her in the back as Dom got in the passenger seat, Logan started to drive as Brian stayed behind with the fake Braga while Logan gave chase to the real one and the man who killed Letty.

Swat Leader: Approaching primary target.

Swat arrested the fake Braga as the night ended in a complete mess...

=========================

Brian, Stasiak, Trinh are sat at a table in a meeting room in the FBI HQ as Penning stands by as 2 FBI investigators question, Brian.

Investigator #1: He was under your nose the whole time. Now Braga's escaped. Toretto and Kenway's heading south, probably long across the border by now. Do you have any idea the kind of trouble you're in, O'Conner?

Brian: I was doing my job.

Brian relied without a care in the world as the other agents sat by and let Brian get grilled by these two.

Investigator #1: He ain't the first bad guy you helped escape the law's grasp.

Investigator #2: As of now, you're being taken off active duty, until this house can mount a formal inquiry.

The two Investigator got up ready to leave as Brian was clearly pissed at all this.

Brian: What about Braga?

Investigator #2: That's no longer your concern.

The room was silent as the Investigator left, Brian was the first to break the silence.

Brian: We now know where Braga is, right?

Trinh: Customs tracked him via satellite to his home base in Tecali, Mexico.

Penning: Mexico is out of our jurisdiction.

Penning said sitting in the chair he was just standing behind.

Penning: The fact is the brass will be so busy holding press conferences over the seizure, we'll skate under the radar.

Brian: I thought we signed on to do the right thing.

Brian said slamming his hand on the table in frustration, the agents around listened to what he just said as the room fell quite, meanwhile at the grave of Letty Ortiz, Logan is standing in the distance as Dom pays his respects, Logan keeps an eye out for any unwanted company, Dom then gets an idea as he walks back to Logan.

Dom: Let's go.

Dom says walking past him, Logan walks beside him.

Logan: Where we going? 

Dom: Home.

Logan and Dom drive back to the Toretto house as Logan pulls into the drive, Logan looks to see Kathrine's car sat there, Dom looks at him.

Dom: You promised her you'll come back.

Logan: Yeah, but that was without the cops following our every step.

Logan said getting out the car as Dom followed him.

Dom: Logan, you are as much my brother as... maybe even more.

Dom couldn't say his name as Dom never forgave him for that day.

Dom: I have never seen you smile as much as you do when you are with her.

Logan still looked at the house as Dom came over and put his hand on Logan shoulder like Dom's father used to do all those years ago.

Dom: I lost my girl. Don't lose yours.

Logan looked to the ground in thought as he looked at Dom, Logan smiled and nodded his head as Logan went into the Toretto house as Dom went into the garage to finish fixing his Charger.

Logan entered the house and took in the surroundings as it's been a while since he's been here, he chuckled as you can tell that he and Dom ain't here no more, the place is spotless, no bottle or parties to be seen, Logan then heard someone coming down the stairs, he looked to see Kathrine wearing one of his hoodies, Kathrine stopped in her tracks as she spotted Logan standing in the center of the room, Logan stood their with his black leather jacket in hand, he then smiled.

Logan: You know, Dom's father used to say that I will always live my life racing...

Logan said looking at the floor as Kathrine was still trying to compute the fact that Logan's here right now.

Logan: ... but when you live your life a quarter mile at a time, you eventually have to cross the finish line.

Logan then looked to Kathrine as he slowly walked towards her.

Logan: I always thought my finish line would be my body inside a car till the day I die, but it took a few days and some surprisingly good help from Dom, which is rare by the way...

Logan said the last part in a joking way making Kathrine chuckle as tears started to brew in her eyes again.

Logan: To relished that my finish line, isn't some white and black line... 

Logan held her cheeks as he wiped away her tears.

Logan: ... It's you.

Logan said making Kathrine smile, Kathrine could say anything so she just kissed him, it got a little heated so she took him to their bedroom, but little did they know that Brian and Mia are doing the same in the kitchen...

=========================

Logan and Dom are standing near Dom's Charger, Logan was fully clothed again as Dom was waiting to speak to Mia, as Logan spoke to Kathrine.

Kathrine: Come home, okay Tiger?

Logan: Last time.

Kathrine nodded as they shared another kiss as Dom and Mia hugged each other, Brian got in his car as Dom and Logan got into the Charger, Dom then drove off as the girls watched the cars leave...
