Walking down the long stretched hallway Brian looked at me with an expression that worried me even more.

Verone knows we're working with the Feds and he's going to try and pull a fast one on us three was all I seemed to think as I held Brian's hand tightly prepared for everything that may come as Brian turned around glancing at Verone's goons who followed close behind.

Making it into the small back room sell I noticed was the 4 things on the table: rope, a blow torch, a glove, and a covered bucket.

"I love you," Brian said lowly into my ear

"I love you too" I replied lowly

Stopping we looked over at the things on the table and Roman said "What's all that?"

"We're gonna have a little fun," Verone said popping the cork off of a champagne bottle

He then poured some into a glass and gave it to Monica causing her to smile as she said, "Thank you"

The blonde girl and dude from earlier then walked into the room causing me let out an internal sigh.

Thank, God.

Verone chuckled as they chatted entering the room until the guy looked over, noticing him causing him to say, "Hey, Carter"

"Meet, uh, Detective Whitworth...one of Miami's finest. Thank you, sweetheart," Verone said turning towards us then to the blonde girl, who nodded, walking out the private lounge.

"Are you enjoying yourself, Detective?" Verone then asked

"Yeah, I was. I mean, you know me" He retorted

"Yeah, I do know you. You've been on my payroll a long time-" Verone sneered sarcastically before the detective cut his speech short saying, "Verone that ain't right"

"Shut up," Verone said sharply lifting his finger up as his goons began to surround the detective as Verone walked closer to him

"I've got one last job tor you, Detectıve. You hear me?" Verone calmly stated

"Look, we've been all through this. I said I can't do it" The detective replied

"Hmm. That's the wrong answer. The table." Verone seethed

The goons grabbed him and slammed him down on the table, Brian's grip around me tightening protectively while Monica let off a devilish smirk watching the detective as he bellowed, "I'm a detective, Verone! You do anything to me, the whole force is gonna be on your ass in a minute."

Verone then pulled out a pocket knife, tearing open his shirt while saying, "Shut your mouth! You fat piece of shit."

"You can stop right now." Whitworth pleaded

Verone went over to the covered bucket and pulled out a rat causing me, Brian and Rome to rise up moving back a bit.

"What the hell. What the hell is that!" He whined

"Sit down" Verone ordered us causing us to sit back down wondering what the hell he was doing

Whitworth did nothing but continue pleading with Verone as he ignored him and said "Once the bucket gets hot enough, Detective, the rat is going to want out. And the only direction it can go is south."

He then sat the rat on his stomach with Enrique sitting the bucket over the rat, stopping its planned escape as Whitworth yelped "Hey! Get-Hey! Get it off me I'll forget it ever happened"

"Shut up," Verone said menacingly

He then picked up the blow torch, igniting it and blowing the fire onto the bucket, and said "Did you know that your average rat, can chew through a steel drain pipe?... You see, you have nothing to worry about when he's screaming, Detective. It's when he goes quiet that he goes to work."

"Stop it!..." Whitworth yelled repeatedly, "Don't be stupid. Stop it now." He then said through gritted teeth with a face red and pale from fear

Ignoring his statement Verone continued blowing the fire against the steel bucket, "You're in charge of the units that are watching my properties, huh? What I want is, I want a 15-minute window, where everybody, and I mean everybody disappears. You hear me?"

Screaming in anguish he replied, "I can't do it!"

Verone then turned stopping the flames while letting off a sarcastic laugh before saying, "Monica, baby, come here"

She then rose to her feet, walking over as Whitworth began screaming, "Help! Help!"

Verone looked down and said to Monica, "Shut him up!" as his screams got louder while Verone began blowing the blow torch against the steel bucket again.

Monica did nothing but follow his instruction flawlessly, getting on her knees covering his mouth with her palms.

"He's biting me!" Whitworth muffled through her hands

"What? You got somethin' you want to say?" Verone said while standing over him

Monica then uncovered his mouth causing Whitworth to groan,"Yes I'll do it!"

"Do what? Say it!" Verone sneered

"I'll do it. I'll give you your window! Just get it off of me! Get it off" He cried

"You betray me, and my rat here is gonna visit your wife, Lynn, yeah, your son, Clay, and your daughter, Lexi..."

The pain I saw in his eyes when he mentioned his family made me almost tear up causing me to look away for a slight second pulling back together.

"Do you hear me? You understand me huh? YOU HEAR ME!" Verone snapped slapping his face, "I'LL BURN YOUR...EYES OUT! I'LL BURN 'EM OUT!" Verone hissed blowing the blowtorch close to his face.

Whitworth did nothing but whimper as Verone calmed down, "Good. Now you can go." He then said patting him on the chest

His goons then lifted the bucket off of his stomach, revealing the rat and rat bites causing me to cringe internally at the sight.

"Get rid of him" Verone calmly said causing his men to pull him up, dragging him out as he groaned and dragged him out

Verone laughed and smiled "Mmh. You boys and lady enjoy the show?"

With us not responding, he continued his speech in a sharp tone, "Fifteen minutes, and then every cop in Florida is gonna be on you. Be at Versailles Café, 6:00 am, day after tomorrow, ready to drive. You understand?"

"Yeah." We all replied

"Don't play games with me, or you'll be next. All right?... Help yourself to a little champagne." He said with a little chuckle before grabbing Monica's hand softly pulling her up as he said lowly, "Let's go."

They then quietly made their exit only for a few moments later Rome to state the obvious, "That was a damn rat, man."

"I know" Brian replied

He then turned to me grabbing the sides of my face slowly while saying, "Babe, I want you to pull out. He's dangerous."

"Ride or Die," I said looking him in the eyes

"Not this ti-"

"I'm not going anywhere Brian, you ride, I ride."

He then looked over to the side for a second, clearly giving up trying to sway my headstrong attitude and a choice he already knew I had completely made my mind up about.

"I love you." He said while pulled me into a kiss

"I love you too."

"Plus I can't give in now...I have a family out there, that I need information from Bilkins for. Does the name Toretto ring bells to you Brian?"

His face then hardened as he clearly was thrown off guard by the question.

"About a week before I met you, things in my life got weirder than ever. My mom and stepdad began telling me how my life was going to change after high school, that all of my childhood training would finally lead to what I was destined to be. My Avó demanded me to go get a background check and doing what she told I learned that my last name wasn't Dyer, it's Torreto...I also found out I had two brothers and a sister. And I was able to confirm my mom had been lying to me my whole life. I need you to tell me what you can."

Brian then exhaled and said "You only have one brother and sister. But Toretto is the reason, I had to leave L.A., he's the one I gave my car keys to, to escape the Feds."

"What!" Rome exclaimed

"And he's the reason your even here in the first place, running," I said lowly

"Diana, I promise I will do whatever you need me to do to help you get to them," Brian said resting his forehead against mines

I then nodded tears brimming the corners of my eyes as I finally said, "Bilkins won't give me any more information about them until I finish the job. So we've got to do this, so I can be with my real family again, I've spent years of my life without them and won't spend any more without them."

A/N: Bombshell! 😌 First off, Verone's crazy as hell. Second, how'd you guys like the reveal of Diana being a Toretto? (For the ones who read the original, is it better or Nah?) Remember to vote, comment, share and add to your library!! Love yaa🖤🖤🖤🖤
