Chapter 3
*My POV*
We got out of a cab and saw a party going on in the house. I immediately got pissed. I looked up and saw Mia quickly run, knowing she's straightening up for Brian. "Take care." Brian said as he began walking away with Kayson.
I stared sadly with a frown as they began walking away. Dom must've noticed my frown cause he spoke up. "Yo, Spilner's." Dom said causing both blonds to look our way. "You want a beer?" Dom asked.
"Yeah, sure." Brian and Kayson said, and I immediately smiled. I faced Dom who had a smile. "Thank you." I whispered to him and hugged him happily. He hugged me back smiling. I heard Vince messing with the guitar.
When we walked inside, we saw girls kissing, and we saw everyone partying. We saw Letty laying on the ground. "We were all there, right? Falling behind." A voice spoke up, but I wasn't really paying attention.
Leon saw both me and Dom. Letty saw as we stepped over her. "Yo, Dom, Izzy. Hey, guys. We were just about to go lookin' for you, brother--" Leon said but was cut off. Dom knocked his beer out of his hand.
Dom then stormed over to Vince, which caused me to follow. "Where were you?" I asked pissed. "There were mass cops there. They came in from every direction. That shit was orchestrated." Vince yelled at me, which caused Dom to get pissed.
"This your beer?" Dom asked holding it up. "Yeah, that's my beer." Vince said. Dom picked it up and we walked away. But I stopped and faced Vince. "Vince, where the fuck is my daughter?" I asked causing Vince to pale.
"About that..." Vince said. "WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!" I asked angrily. "Mom...?" I heard RaeLynn say, I turned quickly and saw her covered in bandages. "RaeLynn, what happened?!" I asked worried and bent down in front of her.
"Princess, what happened?" Dom asked bending down next to me. "Gun shot." RaeLynn said. I faced Vince pissed. I held my daughter in my arms. We saw Jesse kissing a chick's neck. "Yo, Einstein. Take it upstairs. You can't detail a car with the cover on. Can't even get that right." Dom said as I followed after him as I held RaeLynn.
"You all, right?" Letty asked us. Dom stopped. "Am I all right?" Dom asked. "It was just a question." Letty said as Brian and Kayson walked in. Letty and Dom had their fair share of fights, but they still loved each other.
"Yo, Dom! Why'd you bring the busters here?" Vince asked. "'Cause the buster kept me and my sister out of handcuffs! They didn't just run back to the fort! The busters brought me and my sister back!" Dom yelled.
I walked over to Brian and Kayson with Dom. RaeLynn held onto me. "Oh, my God, what happened?" Kayson asked noticing the bandages. "Gun shot." I replied softly. "Kayson." RaeLynn said which caused me to pass her to him, who gladly took her into his arms.
"You can have any brew you want--as long as it's a Corona." Dom said as he handed one to me, which I took. "Thanks, man." Brian said as he took the one that was once Vince's. "That's Vince's, so enjoy it." Dom said, causing Brian to look over at Vince.
"You--" Vince said but cut himself off as Brian wiped off the top of the bottle with his shirt and took a sip from it. "Hey, bro, you got a bathroom?" Brian asked. "Yeah, upstairs. First door on the right." Dom told him.
Brian walked off upstairs as Vince got up. I took RaeLynn back from Kayson and followed after Dom for a moment, wanting to stay near my brother. Dom rubbed his bald ass head. Vince leaned against the pillar behind Dom.
"He's got not call bein' up in here, neither does his brother. You don't know that fool for shit." Vince yelled, causing RaeLynn to flinch. Kayson noticed and let her hold his hand as she clung to me from me holding her.
"He's right, Dom." Leon said. "Shut the fuck up, Leon." I hissed causing him to shut up. "Vince, there was a time me and my twin sister didn't know you." Dom said pointing a finger at him. "That was in the third grade." Vince said before hitting my brother's bald head.
Letty eyed the girls. "Yeah, so, what girls are here?" Dom asked causing me to roll my eyes. "Ho!" Vince said. "You just name it. You want mine?" Leon asked. "You need to shut the f--" Letty said. "You want two?" Leon asked.
"You don't have anything?" Dom asked. "You look a bit tired. I think you should go upstairs and give me a massage." Letty said. "Look at all our guests." Dom said. "How about we go upstairs, and you give me a massage?" Letty asked again, causing Dom to get up.
Dom chuckles. "Crazy lady." Leon said. Brian was walking downstairs and moved out of the way for Dom and Letty. Vince, Leon and Jesse watched, and Kayson stood next to me as I kept holding RaeLynn.
"Yo." Dom said causing Brian to face him. "You know you owe me a 10-second car, right?" Dom asked causing Brian to smile a little. "Ouch." Letty said before laughing as she and Dom went upstairs.
"Oh, shit." I said smiling, knowing that's a step towards respect. "Did you wipe the seat?" Vince asked. "Come on, Vince. That's stupid." I said annoyed as I rubbed RaeLynn's back. Brian looked at the gun on the table.
"Brian." Kayson said in a warning tone. "Oh, Jesus Christ! Would you cut this shit already? Come on!" Mia asked shoving Vince away. I gently put RaeLynn down. She looked up at me. "Off to bed, go on." I said softly.
She nodded and headed to her room. "Come on. Let's go get me a drink." Mia said as she guided me, Brian and Kayson away. "Aw, come on, man. We were just about to get along." Leon said. "Yeah." Jesse said.
We walked into a room, where all the drinks were. "So, what do you want?" Brian asked. "Uh, anything, long as it's cold." Mia said softly. I gently rubbed Mia's arm, and she leaned into my side.
Brian grabbed something for her as I took a sip of my Corona. "You know, our brother likes you both. He usually doesn't like anybody." Mia said. "Yeah, he's a complicated guy." Kayson said as he stood by my side, and Brian stood by Mia's.
"Yeah, what about you two?" I asked. "We're simpler." Brian said. "You're both shitty liars." Mia and I said as we drank from our drinks. "Well, we'll take that as a compliment." Kayson and Brian said.
"But there's a problem." I said softly. "What's that?" Kayson asked. "You need to get some sleep. And you two definitely, definitely need a shower." Mia said. "Come on. We'll take you home." I said as we began walking off.
*3rd POV*
Brian and Kayson were in the same red truck, when they heard sirens and looked into the mirror. They stopped and pulled over. "Show me your hands. Very good. Now open the doors. Put your hands on your head. Behind your head. Face the front of the vehicle, walk backwards towards the rear. Take two steps to your right. Stop right there." A man said as Kayson and Brian did that.
"What'd we do?" Brian and Kayson asked confused. "Shut up." The same voice said. "He's clean, Sarge." The other man said. Both of them were put in handcuffs. They were driven to a hidden house. And were let out.
"Damn! Muse, will you take these things off?" Kayson asked. "Shit. You put 'em on so tight." Brian said. "I like realism." Muse said. "You like realism." Kayson mumbled. "You never know who's watching, Brian, Kayson." Sarge said as they were let out and walked into the building.
"Wow. Nice crib, Sergeant. It's a lot nicer than that last place you confiscated." Kayson said. "Ain't it? You know, Eddie Fisher built this house for Elizabeth Taylor in the '50's." Sarge said. "See, even the cops are Hollywood in Hollywood." Brian said before one of them chuckled.
A lot of people were in the room. "Okay, here they are, fresh from Toretto's hot rod heaven." Sarge said. "That was an $80,000 vehicle, Officer." A man said. "Wait a minute. You tell him what happened?" Brian and Kayson asked.
"He knows what happened." Sarge said. "Send the bill to Johnny Tran." Kayson said. "Brian, Kayson." Sarge said. "The kids' givin' me attitude? That doesn't speak very well for police-F.B.I. relations, Tanner." The man said.
"I walk in the door and the guy's already givin' us--" Brian said but was cut off. "All right, all right. We'll talk, okay? Let's talk about it. Muse, why don't you make us five iced cappuccinos, please. Come on. Regular or decaf, Sarge?" Muse asked.
"Uh, decaf, I think." Tanner said. "For hijackings in two months, and we don't have anything. DVD players and digital cameras alone are worth a million-two, which brings the grand total to six million plus." The man from earlier said.
"We're in the political crosshairs now, Brian, Kayson. That's why you're undercover." Tanner said. "You want that detective badge fast, kid. And you wanna know something? The F.B.I can help, if you come through for us." The man said.
"What does the truck driver say?" Kayson asked. "He gave us the same M.O. Three Honda Civics, precision driving, the same green neon glow from under the chassis. Lab says the skid marks came back the same: Mashamoto ZX tires. So, we know that it's somebody in the street racing world." Tanner said.
"We don't make this case soon; the truckers will take matters into their own hands. I tell 'em we're close. You two gonna make me a liar?" The man asked. "Look, what do we know? We all know this world revolves around Toretto, right? now, I'm not sayin' that he's necessarily the one that's poppin' these trucks, but I can guarantee the both of you that he knows who is." Kayson said, but was keeping a secret, he had told Izzy the truth, which caused her to tell the others, but Dom didn't change his mind about Kayson.
"It's just a matter of time until I win his confi--" Brian said but was cut off. "You want time, buy the magazine. We don't have time. Just get me something I can use." The man said as they walked away.
"Is Harry cooperating?" Tanner asked. "Yeah, like a guy that's gonna do three to five for receiving stolen property if he doesn't." Brian said as him, Kayson and Tanner walked. "What kind of vibe is he getting from Toretto?" Tanner asked.
"He's scared to death of him, but he doesn't think he's jackin' trucks in his spare time. He's too controlled for that." Kayson said. "Wait. Not that I want to contradict Harry's fine judge of character, but uh, Toretto did hard time for nearly beating a guy to death. He's got nitrous oxide in his blood and a gas tank for a brain. Do not turn your back on him." Tanner said.
"Hey, Tanner. I'm gonna need another car." Brian said. "I still got mine." Kayson said. Tanner looked at them annoyed as they walked off.
*My POV*
We were at the garage. I was rebandaging RaeLynn's wound, still pissed at Vince. "What about parts and service?" Mia asked. "Hold off on that." Dom said. "Dom, I don't know what to do with this." Mia said before we all stopped, seeing a car pull in.
We looked confused. "All right, what the hell is this?" Dom asked. "What do you got there?" I asked confused as I finished bandaging RaeLynn. "This is your car." Brian said and I raised an eyebrow. I got my car before Dom's did, and Dom's was still there after I left.
"My car?" Dom asked confused. "He said a 10-second car, not a 10-minute car." RaeLynn said as Kayson came over to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. I knew the truth about him, and when I told Dom, I'm surprised he wasn't pissed about it, he accepted Kayson, and I know Kayson will stay.
"You could push this across the finish line, or tow it." Jesse said, causing us to laugh. "Couldn't eve tow that across the finish line." Dom said, and I noticed Mia stopped laughing once Brian looked at her.
"No faith." Brian said pointing at us. "Oh, I have faith in you, but this isn't a junkyard. This is a garage." Dom said causing me to laugh. "Hey, pop the hood." Brian told Jesse. "Pop the hood?" Dom and I asked.
"Pop the hood." Brian said, and we did just that. We looked at the engine. "Two J.Z engine. No shit." Jesse said. "And what did I tell you?" Brian asked. "I retract my previous statement." Dom said softly.
"You know what? This will decimate all after you put about 15 grand in it--or more, if we have overnight parts from Japan." Jesse said. "We'll put it on my tab at Harry's." Dom said. "Yes!" Jesse said laughing.
"I gotta get you racing again so I can make some money off your ass. There's this show down in the desert called Race Wars, and that's where you'll do it." Dom said and Mia looked at him like he was crazy.
"I'll tell you what. When you're not workin' at Harry's, you're workin' here. If you don't find the right tool in this garage, Mr. Arizona, you don't belong near a car." I said as RaeLynn giggles. Brian smiled. Mia walked over to him. "He owns you now." Mia said to him, causing Brian to look up as she walked off.
"Come here, little lady." Kayson said lifting RaeLynn up, causing her to laugh happily. I smiled and kissed Kayson's cheek. Kayson blinked surprised, before looking at me, smiling. What I didn't know, was that Dom was watching this smiling.
