16.2
(Alex P.O.V.)
We are our way to meet Verone. Monica gave me directions before we left, luckily since Roman is following Brian.
"Turn right here," I order. We turn right. "So you used to be a cop?" I ask trying to kill the silence.
"Yeah. How long have you been a cop?" Brian asks.
"About five years off and on," I answer and get caught up in the memory of finding out that Brian was a cop.
"You all right," Brian asks staring at me.
"You might wanna keep your eyes on the road, playboy," I say smirking at him.
"What, you think we're gonna crash?" Brian asks teasingly. He starts speeding up, while still staring at me. I stare back until I get an idea. I take my seatbelt off and Brian gives me a confused look, while still staring and speeding up. Let's see how he does with this. I lean over and kiss him. At first, it seems that he is stunned then he kisses back. The car swerves ever so slightly, so I break away and put my seatbelt back on. He stares at me stunned until he pulls to a stop at a red light. Roman pulls up beside us, making Brian look over at him.
"He did the "stare and drive" on you, didn't he?" Roman asks me and I smirk back as a reply. "He got that from me," Roman says and then drives off. We arrive a little ways from Verone's so Monica and I can get out.
"Once we get in here, you're on your own," Monica tells the guys. Monica and I head towards the house.
(Brian P.O.V.)
"Turn right here." Alex orders. We turn right. "So you used to be a cop?" she asks trying to kill the silence.
"Yeah. How long have you been a cop?" I ask.
"About five years off and on." She answers and seems to get lost in thought.
"You all right," I ask staring at her.
"You might wanna keep your eyes on the road, playboy." She says smirking at me.
"What, you think we're gonna crash?" I ask teasingly. I start speeding up, while still staring at her. She stares back. She takes her seatbelt off and I give her a confused look, while still staring and speeding up. She leans over and kisses me. At first, I'm stunned that she would do that, then I kiss back. The car swerves ever so slightly, so she breaks away and puts her seatbelt back on. I stare at her stunned until I pull to a stop at a red light still staring at her. Roman pulls up beside us, making us look over at him.
"He did the "stare and drive" on you, didn't he?" Roman asks her and she smirks. "He got that from me," Roman says and then drives off. We arrive a little ways from Verone's so Monica and Alex can get out.
"Once we get in here, you're on your own," Monica tells us. Monica and Alex head towards the house. Roman and I pull up by the rest of the drivers. I see a couple of vipers, mustangs, and then of course muscle cars. Roman and I get out of our cars.
"Hey, where did you get them cars, the bottom of a cereal box?" One of the muscle car's owners asks.
"Eh! Real funny, Fonzie," Roman says. "Ass." Roman whispers where only I can hear him. He is going to get us in trouble with his big ass mouth.
(Alex P.O.V.)
Monica and I walk into the front yard of the house where there are two security guards standing.
"Roberto, Enrique, I need pictures of the drivers, their license plates, their cars, and anything else you can find," Monica orders them before we head inside.
(Brian P.O.V.)
We are waiting to know what to do when two security guards come up.
"Let's go." They yell.
"Keep your mouth shut and follow my lead, all right?" I tell Roman.
"I got this," Roman says.
"No, I'm serious now," I say.
"Handle your business. I'll handle mine." Roman says. We wait in line while they search us for guns I guess. "Watch your hands, brah," Roman says when it's his turn.
"Go in line." They order. "Let's go." They order.
(Alex P.O.V.)
We walk inside. Carter is standing at the window watching all of the guys.
"Carter. Drivers are here." Monica informs.
"Good," Carter says.
"This is Alex Wilde the manager we hired for the drivers," Monica says.
"Carter Verone," Carter says shaking my hand.
"Nice to meet you," I say. We walk outside to look at the drivers.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice. My red Ferrari was confiscated yesterday, and it sits in an impound lot in Little Haiti. The car isn't important. What is important is the package I left in the glove box. The first team back here with the package will have an opportunity to work for me." Carter explains.
"What, we gotta audition?" One guy asks.
"Nobody's got a gun to your head. That's it." Carter says before walking away.
"Driver's licenses. Pass 'em up. Before Christmas guys." Monica orders as they pass up their driver's licenses. We head inside.
(3rd Person P.O.V.)
"Go!" Roberto shouts. The drivers take off racing to their cars, then racing to the impound lot. Monica and Alex go inside with Verone.
"Come on. Go!" Brian yells as he gets in his car.
"Come on, cuz," Roman says getting into his car.
"All right, let's see what this thing can do," Brian says taking off. Brian and Rome are in the lead.
"Agent Markham, I've got them heading south on I-95." Agent Dunn says. They walk over to the big screen which shows the tracking device.
"Yeah, I got it. They're running. What a surprise." Markham says, before leaving.
"Come on. Stick with me, Rome. What you got?" Brian says to himself as the drivers weave in and out of traffic.
"Why must I chase the cat?" Rome says to himself. Rome goes to pass Brian and sticks his hand out and flips Brian off. Rome moves his finger in a circular motion, before getting in front of Brian.
"Oh, yeah? You think you're the bomb, Rome?" Brian yells.
"Let's see if you still got it, Brian?" Rome asks himself.
"All right, Rome. I got somethin' for your ass. Watch this bro." Brian says getting back in front of Rome. Brian turns around and starts driving backward.
"Shit," Rome says.
"Yeah, Rome. How do you like them apples?" Brian yells as he sticks his hand out the window and flips Rome off.
"Show off!" Rome yells.
"That's Brian O'Conner school of driving right there, baby," Brian yells.
"Crazy-ass white boy!" Rome says to himself. Brian is still driving backward and almost misses the exit.
"Oh, shit," Brian says before turning around and heading for the impound lot. Brian and Rome are still in the lead. Several drivers have crashed.
Meanwhile, Alex is going over the files of the drivers. Monica is sitting beside her and Verone is looking out the window.
"What do we got?" Verone asks walking over. Alex shows all the other drivers and then Roman's picture pops up. Verone takes interest in him. Alex lists off his criminal record and made sure he wasn't a cop.
"That's good. Show me his partner." Verone says.
Brian and Rome break the gate to the impound lot and start searching for the car.
"Cars. Cars. Where are the cars?" Brian asks himself just seeing boats.
"Stinkin' boats. Where are the cars?" Rome asks himself.
"I need the cars. Where are the cars at?" Brian asks. They then find the car. They get out and walk to the car. Rome takes his shirt off and wraps it around his hand. Rome punches the window and it shatters. Brian then just grabs the handle and opens the car. Brian is looking everywhere for the package.
"Look in the center. Look in the center." Rome says to him. Brian finds the package and gets out of the car.
"Chi-ching! Now put your blouse back on." Brian says.
"Hater," Rome says putting his shirt on.
"Shit!" One of the guys in muscle cars says as he pulls up.
"Don't let them get away." The other one says.
"Not a problem." The first one says picking up a gun.
"Sit on it, Fonzie!" Rome yells at the guys. The sound of cop sirens can be heard. "What the hell?" Rome asks.
"Aw, shit! Cops." Brian says. The guys in the muscle cars drive off.
"What the hell they doin' here?" Rome asks getting a gun out of his car.
"Rome, no!" Brian says.
"Time to go," Rome says as he shoots at the cops. Brian and Rome head back to Verone's.
"Son of a bitch!" Markham says. He was one of the cops.
(Alex P.O.V.)
"Juvie record for popping cars. Two years in J.D., then another year for aiding and abetting an armed robbery. He's clean. Dirty but clean." I say reading of Brian's file.
"Hm. All right." Verone says.
"The drivers are back," Monica says looking at the security cameras.
"We got Blondie and baldy," Verone says.
"They look like the type of guys that will ask a lot of questions. All you have to do is shoot them down and they will stop asking." I inform Verone.
"Okay, let's go meet them," Verone says and we walk outside to greet them. Verone has each arm wrapped around Monica's and my waist. I see Brian tense up as we walk up to the guys and Brian hands Verone the package. Making Verone remove his arm from around my waist.
"Well done," Verone says.
"Hey, man, you got somethin' to eat up in there? We hungry." Rome asks. I roll my eyes at his behavior.
"Sit 'em by the pool." Verone orders Monica and I.
"Mm-hmm," Monica says. Verone starts walking towards the house.
"Nice. Come on." I say to the boys. Monica and I are leading them to the pool. I hear them start talking, so I eavesdrop.
"What you checking her out for?" Rome asks Brian.
"I'm not checking her out." Brian answers. It must be Monica they are talking about, I think.
"Yes, you were," Rome argues.
"No, I wasn't," Brian says. We reach the table. Monica and I sit on one side and they sit on the other.
"I seen you checkin' her out, man," Rome says.
"Okay, I was. Now shut up." Brian admits.
"You shut up. Don't tell me to shut up." Rome says. I have had enough of them.
"Both you girlies shut up," I say to them while rolling my eyes.
"Unbelievable," Monica says.
