*My POV*

We were now in our cars. Mia and Brian in one, while Kayson and I were in the other. Mia and I were drifting perfectly and kept driving. We chuckled as we were having fun.

*3rd POV*

The same three cars from nights before were back and chasing after a truck driver. Someone came from the roof of one of the cars. 

| With Brian |

Brian heard his phone ringing and answered. Mia was behind him. "Yeah?" Brian asked. "The hijackers have hit again. Bilkins made his decision. We're gonna move on Johnny Tran and his guys at 1700 hours--unless you say otherwise." Tanner said.

In a different room, Kayson and Izzy were asleep. "If you agree, just say yes." Tanner said. "Yeah." Brian said making a decision. "Who is that?" Mia asked as she sat up. Brian hung up. "Uh, just a wrong number. Hi." Brian said as him and Mia kiss softly.

| The next day |

Police were gathered everywhere, ready to take on Johnny and his crew. Brian was among them, while that was happening, everyone at the garage were fixing up their cars. Brian put a mask over his face.

Izzy slid out from under the car and sat up as Dom looked up. Dom and Letty were having a moment, while Kayson and Izzy were on the other side of the garage having theirs. Izzy kissed Kayson who trailed his hands down to her ass and grabbed it.

Izzy smiled and was lifted up in the air and her legs went around his waist. The police were gathered around waiting for Johnny. Dom had his face buried in Letty's chest. Izzy laughs softly as Kayson kissed her neck.

The police headed out. Johnny and his crew were eating at a restaurant. A car pulled up and police got out. Lance looked up and noticed as they walked in. He began running off but was stopped by a police officer and the ones he was there with got arrested along with him.

The police broke down the door to Johnny's house and arrested him. Brian being in the group, everyone else was told to stay down. Johnny's father slapped him, and Brian watched it all before he left before Tanner.

| Later |

Brian was at the house the police was taking a chill pill in. "Yes, sir. Yeah, I know, but--uh, yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes, sir. Yeah. I got it." Bilkins said before hanging up the phone. Tanner looked up. "The DVD players were purchased legally. All we've got on Tran and company are a couple of low-rent weapons charges...and some outstanding speeding tickets. So, they're out." Bilkins said.

"Yeah." Tanner said. "Father bailed 'em out. Is this the kind of intelligence I can expect from you, O'Conner?" Bilkins asked, causing Brian to turn to him. "You're gonna put this on me?" Brian asked. "I can put it on whoever I want to, kid. Perks of the job." Bilkins said.

"No, there's no way you're gonna put this--" Brian said but was cut off. "No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me tell you. I don't care if you have to put a gun to someone's head...and blow your cover to smithereens. You got 36 hours to crack this bastard, or you might want to be thinking about another career." Bilkins said walking away.

Brian left the building pissed off. Tanner followed after him. "It's Toretto, Brian. It always has been Toretto. Tran and Hector are--they're just fumes. Well, I know you've been lying to me. My question is this: Have you been lying to yourself because you can't see past Mia?" Tanner asked.

Brian looked at him angrily. "He won't go back to prison. He's not leaving his sisters behind." Brian said. "Well, that's a choice he's going to have to make. There's all kinds of family, Brian, and that's a choice you're gonna have to make." Tanner said before walking away.

*My POV*

Brian was sitting in the driver seat, with Dom getting into the passenger seat. "You ready for this, jumpy?" Letty asked as he started the engine. I smiled. "Yeah!" We all cheered as they drove off. I got in my car and Kayson did the same, RaeLynn climbed into the back and we chased after them.

I followed them till we got to the right spot. We saw a nice car next to Brian and Dom. "Nice car. What's the retail on one of those?" Brian asked. "More than you can afford, pal. Ferrari." The man said as he revved his engine.

"Smoke him." Dom simply said. Dom looked at me and nodded. I smiled and revved my engine along with them. As soon as the light hit green, we took off. Brian was concentrating as we drove. Brian and I drove around cars and were ahead of that asshole.

Dom looked at Brian a little proud. We pulled to a stop and got out of the cars. We walked inside. "So, what's wrong, Brian?" Dom asked as we noticed him. "Nothin', man. I'm fine." Brian simply said. 

"Come on. Obviously, something's off." Kayson said with his arm around me. "Look, I have my good days, and I have my bad days, just like anybody else." Brian simply said as we were eating. "Brian, don't lose that cool of yours. That's your meal ticket." Dom said.

"My meal ticket? What? I--I can't pay for my own shrimp?" Brian asked. "I got the shrimp." I said. "No, see, that's one thing about me, Dom, Izzy. You don't understand. I don't need handouts. I take handouts. I earn my way, every step. Just gotta make a little something extra on the side, like you." Brian said. 

"What do you mean, like me?" I asked. "What's that supposed to mean?" Dom asked. "That's what I mean." Brian said. "What does that mean, 'Like me'?" Kayson asked angrily. "Don't try--I'm not stupid, all right? I know that there's no way in hell you paid for all that shit you got under the hood-- There's no way in hell you paid all that shit under the hood of those cars...by doing tune-ups and selling groceries. Whatever it is you're in on, I want in on it too." Brian said.

Kayson now knew what this about and gave Dom a look. I felt incredibly hurt. Dom took a paper out and slid it over to Brian. "Well, what is this?" Brian asked. "Read it." Dom said. "What is this for?" Brian asked annoyed.

"It's directions..." Dom said. "To Race Wars." I finished. "We'll see how you do. Then we'll talk." Dom said as Kayson, and I nodded. Brian looked at us in disbelief. 

*3rd POV*

A lot of people were waiting and surrounding a lot of cars. People were practicing, getting ready for Race Wars. 

*My POV*

We were at Race Wars, under a tent. We were waiting. RaeLynn was watching from her spot on Kayson's back. Letty was in line, and she got ready. "Baby. Hey, baby." A man said and Letty looked over at him annoyed. 

*3rd POV*

"You should be watching from the side. Wouldn't want to get any exhaust on that pretty face." The man said. "How 'bout you put your money where your mouth is?" Letty asked. "Well, how 'bout I race you for that sweet little ass?" The man asked.

"You want ass, why don't you hit Hollywood Boulevard? You want an adrenaline rush, it'll be two large. Right here, right now. What's it gonna be?" Letty asked holding up some money. "You got it." The man said holding up some money.

Both of them revved their engines. They took off and Letty had the lead. "Come on. What do you got? What you got?" The man asked, not expecting anything. "See ya." Letty said before hitting one of her NOS buttons and she took off, easily winning.

Brian drove around, till he found the Toretto's camper. He walked towards the camper. He almost got hit by the door. "Whoa! Yo, Bri, what's up?" Jesse said. "Hey, what's up, Jesse? What do you have in your hand?" Brian asked confused.

"Throwing down the pink slip, just like you." Jesse said. "The pink slip to what? The Jetta?" Brian asked. "Yeah." Jesse said. "You can't bet your dad's car." Brian said. "It's all right. I ain't losing. This fool is running a Honda 2000. I'll win. The way me and my dad can roll together when he gets out of prison. It's all good." Jesse said as Brian kept following him.

"They're gonna throw him right back in prison after he kills you." Brian said. "Oh, shit. I'm up." Jesse said as he ran off. Leon got out of the car after pulling up to the staring line. "You visualize the win. Hey, visualize the win, Jesse. I'm serious. You got to listen to me, man." Leon asked.

"Who are you racing?" Brian asked. But then Johnny Tran pulled up and rolled down his window. Jesse held up what he was racing for. "Jesse, don't do it. I bet you he's got more than a hundred grand...under the hood of that car." Brian said to Jesse, already not liking this idea.

"Uh-huh." Jesse said not really paying attention. They revved their engines, and they took off. They were tied, and Jesse pressed one of his NOS buttons. He laughed nervously thinking he was gonna win.

"Too soon, Junior." Johnny said pressing his button and easily took off. "No!" Jesse said as he watched Johnny win. "Whoo!" Johnny said. "Shit! Oh, god." Jesse said not ready for this. Jesse kept driving before he pulled off.

*My POV*

"Yo! Heads up, bro. We got problems." Leon said as he came running over to us. "What?" Dom and I asked. "Jesse." Leon said pointing to Jesse. "Where's Uncle Jesse going, Mom?" RaeLynn asked. 

"I'm not sure sweetie." I said as I covered my eyes to get a better look. "He just raced Tran for slips." Leon said. "Oh, shit." I said as Johnny came racing towards us. "Rae, go to Kayson." I said and she immediately listened and raced over to Kayson.

Johnny pulled to a stop and got out. "Where's he going?" Johnny asked. "Went to the car wash." Dom and I lied. "Whatever. Go fetch my car." Johnny said and I watched worried. "Go fetch your car? We're not on your block anymore. You better watch who you talk to like that." Dom said. 

"Toretto!" Johnny yelled. "Okay, watch it." Kayson said softly, turning RaeLynn away. "Toretto!" Johnny yelled again, causing me and Dom to face him. "SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narced me out. And you know what? It was you two!" Johnny said pointing a finger at me.

Dom didn't like that and swung on Johnny. "Dom!" I yelled worried as Security ran past us. Dom kept punching Johnny. "Go! Go! Go! Get him!" Someone yelled. Lance came storming over, and I immediately punched him.

People tried to get Dom off Johnny. I saw Brian in the crowd. "No! Get off of him, man. Get off of him!" Leon and I said as Vince tried to get Dom off him. "Dom, chill." Vince said. "Hey, yo!" Dom yelled as Johnny spit out blood.

Dom kept trying to fight out of their hold. "Dom!" I yelled, but he ignored me. "Dom, chill out, man. Come on!" Leon said. "I never narced on nobody! I never narced on nobody!" Dom yelled, causing Johnny to look our way. "Dom, let's go." I said guiding him away. Brian kept trying to get through. 

| Later |

It was now night here at Race Wars. I heard a knock on the door. "Mia." Brian said from outside, before he walked in. I followed after him. "Mia?" I asked for my sister. Only to see no one in here. "I have respected you and I haven't said shit, and now I am asking you not to go." Mia's voice was heard.

Brian and I looked out a window. "Mia, I'm doing this for both of us." Dom said softly. "No, don't give me that crap. You're doing this for you." Mia yelled at Dom. I quickly walked over to them as Kayson and RaeLynn were there as well.

"Why are you asking me to stay?" Dom asked. "Why are you insisting on doing this?" Mia asked. "Dom, please, just don't." I said trying to convince him, but all the boys minus Kayson got in their cars. 

"Dom..." I said softly, before they drove off. Mia and I were walking with Kayson and RaeLynn. "Mia, what's going on?" Brian asked. "What?" Mia asked. "You know what I'm talking about." Brian said.

"No, I don't, Brian." Mia said as her and I had a few tears in our eyes. "Oh, so what, you two always have tears in your eyes when Dom drives away?" Brian asked. "Brian." Kayson warned as RaeLynn frowned. 

"What is the matter with you?" I asked annoyed. "Come on. What's your brother racing off in the middle of the night for? I'm talking about the trucks. You know about the trucks?" Brian practically yelled. 

"No, Brian! What trucks? Jesus Christ." Mia said as we kept walking. Brian grabbed her arm. "What?" Mia and I asked angrily. "Listen to me. Mia, I'm a cop." Brian said and I immediately didn't like that.

I pulled RaeLynn close to me as Kayson held us both close. "What are you talking about, Brian? What is this?" Mia asked confused. "Ever since the first time I met you, I've been undercover. I'm a cop." Brian said and I immediately saw tears in my baby sister's eyes.

"Oh, you bastard." I said wrapping an arm around Mia's shoulders. "You bastard." Mia said before we kept walking. "Mia." Brian said trying to stop her. "Get off of her, Brian!" I yelled at him but he grabbed Mia.

"Mia, listen to me. Everything I ever said I felt about you was real. I swear to God. You have to believe me, Mia. But right now, this isn't about you and me. Your brother's out there. He's about to pull a job, and we're running out of time. Those truckers, they're not laying down anymore. Maybe they'll make it through tonight, but every single law enforcement agency in California's coming down on 'em." Brian said looking me and Mia in the eyes.

"Brian..." Kayson said trying to stop him, but Brian ignored him. "If you don't want anything to happen to your brother, to Letty, to Leon, to Vince, you have to just get in that car with me right now. You have to help me. Mia, you are the only person that can help me right now, along with your sister, Kayson and RaeLynn. Please, Mia. Please help me." Brian begged as we looked at him.
