(August P.O.V.)

We got back to the house. Letty and Leon packed and left heading for who knows where. Dom went to the garage and got his car(dad's car). Mia went inside and I was just sitting on the porch steps thinking about my next move. Dom came out of the house with a shotgun in his hand. I still had my handgun on me, that I carried every time we did a hijacking. Brian pulls up, blocking Dom's path. He gets out with his handgun in hand aiming at Dom. I stand up ready to take action. As much as I've fallen for Brian, I would not let him take Dom to jail.

"Dom put the gun down now!" Brian yells at Dom.
"Move your car," Dom tells Brian.
"No bullshit! Put it down now! No more running!" Dom yells at Dom.
"I'm not running!" Dom yells at Brian.
"Where's Leon and Letty?" Brian asks.
"They're long gone!" I answer his question. He looks over at me with a guilty face.
"Then it's over. I didn't call the police, but don't push me! Put the gun down. I swear to God!" Brian says raising his gun at Dom. I pull out my gun and aim it at Brian and give him the "you don't want to do that" look.

"You are the cop! You're a cop!" Dom yells throwing his gun down. I lower my gun and so does Brian. "Brian, I got to find Jesse before they do. I'm all the kids got." Dom explains.
"I'll call in the plates. PD will pick him up way before Johnny even gets near him." Brian says.
"We don't need anymore cop problems," I say.
"Move your car," Dom says and Mia comes outside.
"Dom, August, stop it! It's over. Please." Mia begs.
"Mia, stay out of it!" Dom and I both tell her. Then out of nowhere Jesse pulls up.

"Dominic, I am so sorry. I don't know what I'm doing, Dom. I'm so scared right now. I don't what's going on." Jesse says.
"What were you thinking, man?" Dom asks Jesse.
"I don't know! I panicked! I'm sorry. I'm scared! I don't know what I'm doing! Will you please help me?" Jesse says. I hear motorcycles coming. It's Johnny and Lance. When they get into view they start shooting. Mostly towards Jesse.

"Jesse!" I yell as I jump in front of him, but it was too late. Mia ducks down on the steps and Dom hits the ground. Brian starts shooting back.
"Dom! August! Jesse!" Mia yells as she and Dom run towards me and Jesse.
"No, Jesse!" Mia says as she holds Jesse's head. Brian looks over at us. He looks at Dom and then he looks at me. I nod my head and mouth go. Brian gets in his car and takes off after the motorcycles. Dom gets up and starts going to his car.

"No, Dom, no!" Mia yells as he gets in the car and drives off. I get up and start heading to the garage. I get in there and take the cover off of my car(dad's car). I pull it out to the driveway. I get out and walk to Mia.
"August, you're shot," Mia says when I get to her. I look down at myself and see a clear shot straight through my arm and my stomach was grazed.

"I'm fine. Mia, I want you to stay here until an ambulance come for Jesse. Then I want you to go to the hospital and stay with Vince. I'm going to make sure Dom makes it out alive and without going back behind bars." I say giving her a hug. I then run and get in my car and head off in the direction Brian and Dom headed.

(Brian P.O.V.)

I chase after the motorcycles. Dom is behind me. I knock one of them down a hill. Dom stops, I guess makes sure he was dead. I follow the other one and then shoot at him putting two bullets in him. He crashes. I get out of my car and check to see if he is alive. He isn't. I see Dom at the top of the hill and then he takes off. I followed Dom and found him stopped at a red light. I pull up beside him and look over at him.

"I used to drag race here back in high school with Aug. That railroad crossing up there is exactly a quarter mile away from here. On green, I'm going for it." Dom says. I get ready to race with him. We look at each other, then back up at the light. The light turns green and we're off. We are racing when we hear the sound of a train horn coming towards us. Dom speeds up going to jump in front of the train. I speed up, but it's not enough to keep up with Dom's car, so I hit the NOS buttons. Dom and I both jump the tracks right before the train got there. I look over at Dom and he looks over at me. When we look back ahead there was a big truck pulling out of an alley right in front of Dom. Dom tries swerving to miss it, but he hits it and starts flipping. His car is flipping so high that it flips right over mine. I stop and Dom's car stops flipping landing straight up. I get out and run to Dom. I see August pull up and get out of her car and come running.

"Dom!" August yells. We both reach the car to see Dom just sitting there, breathing heavy.

"That's not what I had in mind," Dom says getting out of the car. His arm is dislocated.

(August P.O.V.)

As I'm looking for Dom and Brian, I see Brian's car heading towards the railroad tracks, where Dom and I used to drag race in high school. I see them get ready to race. I head to the other side of the tracks. As I'm getting close to the other side, I hear a train coming. I find the road I'm looking for and see Dom and Brian jump the tracks right in front of the train. A big truck pulls out and Dom runs into it and starts flipping. He flips over Brian's car and lands straight up. I pull up to where they are and see Brian get out of his car. I get out of my car and start running to Dom.

"Dom!" I yell. Brian and I both get to Dom, to see him just sitting there, breathing heavy.

"That's not what I had in mind," Dom says getting out of the car. His arm is dislocated. The train is still passing by. We start to here cop sirens in the distance. I go to grab Dom's arm to get him to the car, but Brian digs in his pocket and gets his car keys out. He holds them towards Dom.

"You know what you're doing?" Dom asks Brian.
"I owe you a 10-second car," Brian answers handing Dom the keys. I smile knowing that Dom can get away. Dom gives me hug and gets into the car leaving. Brian turns around like he is just going to wait for the cops. I walk up to Brian and put my hand on his arm. He turns and looks at me.

"Come on. Let's go." I say. He smiles. We go and get into my car. We just drive.
"The cops are going to be looking for you and Dom. You need to get out of here." I say to Brian.
"I'm a cop though." He says.
"But you let your man go," I say and the realization hits him.
"Yeah," Brian says looking out the window. "Where are we going?" Brian asks.
"To lay low, for a couple of days. Then find a street race and get you a car. Then you can be on your way. I have to go back for Mia and Vince." I answer.

"Okay. Sounds like a plan." Brian says and we just ride in silence for a while before he breaks the silence. "I'm sorry." He says.
"For what?" I ask, wanting to hear him say it.
"For...for hurting Mia. For breaking your family apart. For you having to help me." He says guilty.
"Yes," I say. Looking over at him and his face is covered in remorse. "You didn't break this family apart. Sure we all went our separate ways, but that's the thing about family. You don't turn your back on family. Even when they do. Family is the one thing we will always have. You became apart of this family, whether you're a cop or not you are family. You always help your family and that's what I'm doing. As for hurting Mia. Yes, I'm beyond mad, because she is my sister, but you were just doing your job and you did a very good job of it. Mia will just have to get over it." I explain. He looks relieved now.

"I don't think Dom will if I ever see him again, let me back into this family. I'm just glad that you turned me down in the beginning or we wouldn't be having this conversation right now." He says.
"I turned you down because I didn't know you and didn't trust you. See that's the thing with Mia she trusts too easily. As for Dom if he ever sees you again, he will let you back in, but it won't be right away. You will have to earn his trust back. You earned mine the second you handed the car keys to Dom." I tell him.

"You really didn't trust me up, until just a while ago." He says stunned.
"Nope, because I could tell you were a cop, spy, or something. You were always too alert. The sneaking around in Hector's garage, automatically told me you were a cop. I held my tongue though and didn't say anything to Dom. I guess part of me wanted to see how it would turn out and the other part wanted you to stick around." I say hoping he wouldn't catch the end. He starts smiling, which lets me know he definitely hard the last part.

"I'm glad you didn't tell Dom. You want to know the truth?" He asks. I nod my head. "I could have busted Dom in the beginning, but I didn't. I couldn't see past you. When you turned me down it hurt and I didn't know why. So, to keep the job going I started messing with Mia. In hope of her spilling some secrets and to make you jealous. Then I started searching through Hector's stuff to see if I could find anything that could prolong the fact that it was Dom hijacking the trucks and so I could still be near you." He says truthfully. It makes me smile.

"The truth?" I ask him. He nods. "As soon as you started messing around with Mia, I got jealous. I didn't know why until you started hanging around more. To hide my jealousy I messed around with Vince. Every time I got near him, when you were around, I saw you get mad. Let's just say it prevented a lot of fights." I say. He smiles and I smile back. He reaches and grabs one of my hands off of the steering wheel and we hold hands.
