The police took me and Brian in a room with other officers and then took off the cuffs. Brian then looked over at me with pleading eyes as he began pleading with them, "Can you please let her go, she has nothing to do with it?"

The white officer then said "No! She stays, if she didn't showcase her driving talents in our pursuit she wouldn't have to"

"Please tell me everything, I need to know about him and names." I asked

"I'm Agent Markham," The white guy said causing me to nod as I said "Tell me about Brian"

The black guy spoke up and said "Brian is an ex police officer who was soon to be FBI before he broke his cover to let a fugitive go and gave him his car keys to get away."

I let a sigh of relief as I said, "I thought he was a murderer, thank God!"

The black guy then laughed and said "No, he's no murderer. He's not a bad guy just made a bad decision."

I then looked over at Brian causing him to blurt, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell the full truth on why I was in Miami"

I nodded and the black agent said "Now that we got that out the way I am Agent Bilkins with the FBI and I was over O'Connor's operation"

Markham then pulled up a picture of a middle-aged guy and said loudly "Enough of this, let's talk about why you two are here and not behind bars. This is Carter Verone, born in Argentina but he's lived most of his life in Miami; Now he owns one of the biggest import, export businesses in the state. See unfortunately the cartels have been successful in getting the drugs into Miami, but a hard time getting the cash out. We've been surveilling him for over a year now and have never been able to put him and the money together. We swept his house..his warehouse-"

"-Nothing. Customs here have done a great job getting us this far, I'm just here to help get them over the top" Agent Bilkins spoke up cutting him off

I nodded and looked over at Brian who had the look of guilt written all over his face before turning forward.

"I was able to get an agent in undercover. Working travel and logistics for him. Recently Verone put her in charge of finding some new drivers" Markham announced

"Although we can't confirm her status right now" Bilkins added in

Brian then turned looking over to Bilkins and said "Wait you think she's flipped?"

"She's one of mine! She's fine." Markham roared at him

"You don't have to-" I began to say

"I don't have to what princess?" He snapped at me

I just smirked to myself knowing I would kick his ass if we were on my streets talking to me like he had no home training.

"Hey man don't talk to her like that" Brian sneered with his anger at an all time high

"What are you going to do about it, Connor?" Markham rebutted poking at his emotion

"Nothing... " I arose stating, "...You need us, not the other way around"

He then looked at me then Brian before Bilkins spoke up, causing me and Brian to sit back down, "Your girl has been in with Verone for nearly a year. Even lives compound with him now-"

"Look it was the FBI's idea to bring you two in on this, I'm against it. But we need some good drivers to help put this asshole and his money together. You a going to roll with Agent Dunn, O'Connor, you as well Dyer" Markham retorted

I then rolled my eyes while Brian asked "If we don't?"

Bilkins then said "Well here's a list of laws you broke in L.A.; obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, you know the wrap sheet." making sure to hand Brian the list then looked over at me and said, "And you, Ms. Dyer, harboring a fugitive, aiding and abetting, evading arrest and multiple more..."

"You know we can make this all go away, in the interest of justice. If you two are willing to play ball." As Brian looked through his charges he then asked, "So what's the idea here Dunn, Diana, and I are supposed to be street racers?"

"That's right" Markham glowered

The Dunn dude took a sip of his drink obnoxiously causing me to roll my eyes and say "No way, I can look at him and tell he knows not one thing about cars."

Brian then got up, walking over to Dunn, and said. "So Dunn. looks like we're gonna be partners bro..."

He grabbed his hand shaking it and then continued instantaneously saying, "But tell me right quick, what would be a better motor for my Skyline, a Gallo 12 or a Gallo 24?"

I wanted to laugh out loud, this idiot doesn't know about anything Brian just said, I knew because the look he gave Markham.

Markham then shrugged his shoulders and Dunn turned around and said "Umm-" He paused before clearing his throat and answering, "24"

"I didn't know, Pizza places made motors," Brian said referring to the pizzeria cup he held in his hand

Dunn looked at the cup and Brian said "See c'mon man. We can't do this. I mean seriously, if this is what you are going to give us, we might as well take our chances in Chino."

"We will get someone else" Markham spoke up before snatching the cup out of Dunn's hand.

Walking back to his seat, Brian rebutted, "No way man!" He then sat down and said, "The only way I am going to do this, is if I get to pick a driver."

"All right O'Connor, who you got in mind?" Bilkins asked

"This dude I grew up with in Barstow."

"Who's that?"

"Roman Pearce"

Bilkins and Markham shook their heads in agreement and Bilkins said "We move out tomorrow, I want you two here at 8 am sharp."

I looked over at Brian and he said "Come on let's go."

He got up grabbing my hand causing me to snatch it away as I said "Don't touch me!"

I sped out of this police station in front of him as he said "Diana, look, I wasn't ready for this. I am still trying to come to terms with it myself."

Remembering my car was now damn near destroyed and needed a new motor, I sighed as I looked side to side at the empty streets. And it infuriated me even more hearing Brian still make up these stupid excuses.

Before I knew it I turned and slapped him as hard as I could as I yelled, "Brian I don't know who you are, you should have fucking told me, I wouldn't have cared because I would've known how to play my cards! Now I have to do this to get me and you out of trouble and you know the thing that pisses me off the most, I fucking love your dumbass and you have me out here looking stupid. But it's my fault everyone in my fucking life lies to me, but I still try to love and trust."

"You love me?" Brian asked

I huffed realizing what I just said before laughing sarcastically and replying, "It doesn't matter."

"Diana, please! Look yes I lied. But everything I said and did with you was true. From why I got here, because of shit being screwed up in L.A. to me making love to you. I am sorry Diana, I truly am, but you've become the balance I need in life. You're my quarter mile, you represent how I feel in the fast lane. You're the exhilaration I feel in those 10-second races and the thing is it feels like it more than 10 seconds with you, it feels like a lifetime."

Tears began streaming down my face as I thought about every word he just admitted to me.

He then grabbed my face softly before pressing his lips against mine, and said with tears now running from his ocean blue eyes, "I love you too, Diana. I am in love with you. And I'm ready to risk it all for you."

I melted in his touch. I hadn't ever told any man I loved them. But my heart knew with Brian before I wanted to come to terms with it. But to hear him say it back made me ecstatic.

"What do you want me to do now? I've shed light on my soft spot for you, do you want me to scream out to the world how much I love you?" He asked while wiping his eyes

Before I could mutter a word he just yelled out, "I love Diana Dyer with all my heart, everyone that can hear me!"

I couldn't do anything but laugh and in response he laughed at me.

He pulled me into a bear hug as I wrapped my legs around his waist and replied, "I love you too, Brian O'Connor, I love you too."

He kept kissing my face and said "I'm so happy you do.", "Let's go home" He then said while kissing my forehead
