(Brian P.O.V.)

I head back to the office with the other agents.

"He was under your nose the whole time. Now Braga's escaped. The Toretto's are heading south, probably long across the border by now. Do you have any idea the kind of trouble you're in O'Conner?" The chief says.

"I was doing my job," I say.

"He ain't the first bad guy you helped escape the law's grasp. As for now, you're being taken off active duty, until this house can mount a formal inquiry," The chief explains.

"What about Braga?" I ask.

"That's no longer your concern," The chief answers.

"We now know where Braga is, right?" Stasiak asks.

"Customs tracked him via satellite to his home base in Tecali, Mexico," The chief answers.

"Mexico is out of our jurisdiction," I say.

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

"I thought we signed on to do the right thing," I say then get up and walk out.

(August P.O.V.)

Dom is in the garage working on the curse to be able to use it later. I walk inside to get some Coronas. When I walk back outside I see Brian heading to the garage and it brings back all the good memories.

"Everyone's looking for you," Brian says as he approaches Dom.

"I'm right here," Dom says still working.

"It's nice to see you've gone with the times and switched to electronic fuel injection. Looks good," Brian says admiring Dom's work. I smile thinking this is how it should be.

"Buster became a gearhead," Dom says looking up from his work and smiling.

"I'm going with you both," Brian says and I feel my smile begin to fade.

"I don't plan on bringing anyone back," Dom says.

"I know," Brian says.

"Hit that throttle," Dom says and Brian does. Then he looks in the direction of the house and sees me. I sigh and walk inside wishing things were different. I walk into the kitchen and set the Coronas down. I hear the back door open and close.

"Hey," Brian says as he enters the kitchen. I face him and force a smile. "What's wrong?"

"I just... I don't want you to go, but I know I'm not going to talk you out of it. I just wish things were different. It just seems that every time we get close something happens to tear us apart again," I answer, it has happened more than he knows of. Brian walks over and cups my cheek with his hand.

"I won't go if you don't go," Brian says.

"And you know that that's not going to happen," I say.

"Then I promise you that when it's all over, we won't be torn apart. We will be together for now on," Brian says looking me in the eyes.

"Okay," I say. We both lean in and kiss. I feel sparks like I do every time I kiss Brian. Brian deepens the kiss. Then he lifts me up onto the counter. We break apart after a few minutes needing air. "Come on. Let's go make a plan," I say hopping down from the counter and grabbing three Coronas and heading outside to Dom with Brian following behind me. Dom calls Gisele and she tells him to meet her in Mexico and she will tell us where Braga is from there.

(August P.O.V.)

We arrive in Mexico and wait for Gisele. I will be riding with Brian. After a few minutes, Giselle drives up.

"I thought you weren't gonna show up," Dom says as Gisele gets out of her car.

"You saved my life. I'm willing to return the favor. This will help get you to Braga. Dom, going in there is suicide," Gisele says handing Dom something.

"I have no choice," Dom says.

"You must have loved her very much," Gisele says before getting into her car and driving away.

"So this is where my jurisdiction ends," Brian says.

"And this is where ours begins," I say looking at Dom. We head into the city looking for Braga. We find that he is at a church. Brian and Dom go in and get him while I stay in the car as a lookout.

(Brian P.O.V.)

While August waits in the car, Dom and I sneak inside the church where Braga is. We find him praying.

"You ain't forgiven," Dom says holding a shotgun to his head.

"You boys want to arrest me?" Braga asks.

"No, we're beyond that. You can't buy your way out of this one," I answer.

"You and me, we're not so different. You're no hero," Braga says looking at Dom.

"You're right. And that's why you're going back across the border," Dom says. I handcuff Braga and we start heading out to the cars. "But Fenix is mine."

"You got it," I say.

(August P.O.V.)

Brian brings Braga out with handcuffs on and Dom follows. Brian and Braga get in the car and we take off.

"You'll make it a couple of miles out if you're lucky," Braga says as we head out of the city.

"Where you're boys at? Are they going to show up or what?" Brian asks Braga. After a few minutes, Braga's men show up and start shooting at us.

"Careful what you ask for," Braga answers. Braga's men start coming from everywhere.

"Right behind you," Dom says through the walkie-talkie. I get to thinking and the easiest way to get Braga over the border is the tunnels.

"Let's use the tunnel," I say to Brian. He nods his head and starts heading that way.,"Dom, head to the tunnel. Let's use the tunnel." I say through my walkie-talkie. We start heading to the cliffs. Dom is right behind us trying to take out Braga's men.

"Get out of here, Brian," Dom says through the walkie-talkie.

"You sure you know where the tunnels are? You sure?" Braga asks Brian.

"Yeah. I'd hold on. This might hurt," Brian says as we break through the opening. We are driving then all of a sudden Fenix is behind us. As Fenix is chasing us Brian takes a wrong turn, leading us down a dead-end path.

"Now what?" Braga asks.

"No, no, no," Brian says realizing we're running out of road. He then breaks through the wall onto the right path. Fenix is still behind us. As we near the end of the tunnels Fenix hits us making the car hit the wall and turn us sideways. Fenix hits the side of the car and we bust through the exit of the tunnels. Our car flips over and over before it lands on the roof. I look around and see Brian waking up. I hear Fenix get out of his car.

"Hey! Get me out of here!" Braga starts yelling. Fenix gets Braga out and drags him over to his car. Brian pushes his way out of the car and tries moving but doesn't get very far because Fenix heads towards him. I crawl out of the other side and get my gun ready. I sneak around the car staying low. I hear a gun click.

"Pussy," Fenix says as he raises his gun to shoot Brian.

"Put the gun down!" I yell as I pop out from hiding. I'm standing right behind Brian. All of a sudden we hear the roar of an engine coming from the cliffs. We all look just as Dom comes out and he heads straight for Fenix. Fenix goes to dodge the car but Brian grabs his ankle and I shoot him in the stomach. Brian lets go right before Dom makes impact with Fenix in between his car and Brian's car, killing him. I pull Brian away from the wreckage and see him holding his stomach.

"Let me see that," I say, taking a look at the wound. It is just a deep cut.

"Yeah," He says smiling at me.

"Just keep pressure there," I say before standing up. As Dom walks over to us we hear police sirens in the distance.

"You'll be all right," Dom says to Brian.

"You gotta get out of here," I say to Dom looking at Fenix's car.

"I ain't running anymore," Dom says.

"Please, don't say that," I say looking at Dom. Dom gives me an 'I'm serious' face. I look away from him knowing what I'm about to do is going to make him extremely mad at me.

"I gotta ask you something," Brian says to Dom.

"Yeah?" Dom asks.

"You know I would have won that race if you didn't cheat, right?" Brian asks. I smile at the question.

"You hit your head hard and there was still August you had to beat," Dom says. My smile fades, because I know if I would have lost I would have found a way in like Brian did. They both laugh.

"Don't make me laugh," Brian says because of his wound. I feel tears start to fall down my face as I turn around to arrest Dom. The police are almost to us now.

"What's wrong August?" Dom asks as he is the one that sees my face first. Brian looks up at me with a smile but sees that I'm slightly crying his smile fades.

"I'm sorry, Dom, but I'd rather it be me than one of them," I say as I nod my head at the police cars coming. Dom looks at the cars and then back at me confused, so does Brian. I take my gun out slowing and aim it at Dom. "Dominic Toretto, you are under arrest," Dom looks at me like I'm crazy. "Please, put your hands behind your back," I say with as much authority I can manage since I'm crying. I finish putting handcuffs on Dom as the police pull up. I look at Brian and he looks confused beyond hell and Dom has so many different emotions on his face. The chief gets out and walks over to us with Stasiak behind him.

"Get him in a car." The chief tells Stasiak as he points at Braga. "Somebody get the medic over here." He then looks at Dom and then me. "Great job, Agent Wilde." The chief escorts Dom away. I look at Brian and he has confusion and recognition all over his face as he looks back at me. The medic comes and takes Brian to an ambulance. I get in the SUV with the chief and Stasiak. When we get back to the office, I get interrogated. I tell them that Dom should be let go. After they finish they let me go home.

(Brian P.O.V.)

I couldn't believe that August arrested Dom. Then the chief called her Agent Wilde. I know an Agent Wilde from Miami. The medic took me and got me fixed up, then I was escorted to the office and to an interrogation room. I told them my side of the story and that Dom should be let go like the chief and I agreed. After they finish they let me go. I head out to find August to question her.

(August P.O.V.)

When I get home I find the garage still open and Dom's cars in there. I walk into the garage and over to his car. I feel tears start falling down my face as I think about what I did, but he wouldn't run. I get into the car and grip the steering wheel as if I was driving and it and just start full out crying. I lean my head on the steering wheel and cry. About an hour later, I'm still crying. I start thinking of a way to break Dom out, but I hear somebody walking up the driveway. I pull the gun in the passenger seat into my lap, while leaving my head on the steering wheel.

"August?" I hear Brian's voice ask. I look up and see that it is really him entering the garage. I get out of the car, leaving the gun, and lean up against the car.

"What do you want?" I ask sadly and with my voice ruff from all of the crying I did.
