After what happened in LA, Brian O'Conner went on the run. He traveled all over the country then settled in Miami. He made good friends, friends he wouldn't trade for the world. Brian's life was somewhat normal in his eyes. He was happy. One night changed all of that, he was found. Now he was told to work a case or go to prison, he opted for the case.

The case was to bring down one of Miami's biggest drug lords, Carter Verone. They need to connect him with his money. They also need two drivers, they had one. Now they need the other, which was where Brian came in.

They told Brian the details of the case, he agreed to everything.

" Your partner's name is Joey Summers. I want you to go to an auto body shop in Opa-Locka, that's where you'll find Joey." Bilkens explained as he closed the Carter Verone case file in front of him.

Brian didn't say a word, he wasn't too happy he was blackmailed into working a case. He stood from his seat at the table where they explained everything to him and left.

He drove to a shop called ' Ryder's shop'. Brian parked his car and took a real quick look around before he walked into the office.

" Do you know where I can find Joey Summers?" Brian asked the woman behind the front desk.

" If you walk right back there, you'll find Joey." The woman said with a slight smile as she batted her eyes. She was fully flirting with him.

" Thanks." Brian said as he returned her smile, then walked to the back.

There were two cars, one in many pieces and the other is a 2002 Audi S4 it's colored black with read flames along the side. He could also see someone was under the car. He couldn't make out who it was, male or female or how big they were, it was just a shape of a body.

" Um, excuse me." Brian said to the person underneath the car, he hoped they could help him because he wasn't up to tracking anyone down today from a case he didn't want to work.

" Can I help you?" A woman asked as she came from under the car then stood from the ground. She had on a blue jumpsuit, and her hair was tied back in a gray baseball cap.

Brian was a little taken back to see it was a woman. " Yeah, I'm looking for a Joey Summers." He told the girl. He looked at her face but the cap covered most of it, all he saw was her mouth.

" That would be me." Joey said as she removed the baseball cap causing her long hair fall from the cap down her back.

Brain watched as her hair fell in to perfect place. He slowly looked at each of her features, her long blonde hair with fire red highlights, her piercing green eyes. Brian was in shock, he didn't expect to find a beautiful woman that was also his partner.

" You're Joey?" Brian asked as he still tried to wrap his mind around the fact that this woman was his partner. This might not be as bad as I thought, Brian thought as he waited for her answer.

" I guess they didn't tell you I was female. That happens a lot. I guess it's the name. Josephine Summers." Joey said as she held out her hand.

" Brian O'Conner, nice to meet you." Brian said as he shook her hand.

" Well I guess that's out the way." Joey said as she removed the blue jumpsuit. Underneath, she had on a pair of black low rider jeans and also a green tank top. " Nice isn't it?" Joey asked as he looked at him.

" Excuse me?" Brian asked, he didn't hear what Joey had said. His mind was still lost on her body.

" The tattoo on my arm, I see you staring at it." Joey explained. Her tattoo was lined with her chest that was what Brian was staring at.

" Oh yeah. Nice tattoo. Barbwire right?" Brian asked, he felt a little embarrassed.

" Yeah." Joey said with a smile, which threw Brian off. She slowly walked closer to him, till she was standing right in front of him. Joey looked Brian straight in the eyes. " Do you have any tattoos?" She asked as her eyes met his.

" No." Brian said in almost a whisper.

" That's too bad. I can think off a lot of images that could look good on you." Joey said as she walked pass Brian.

" We have to get going, Bilkens and Markham are waiting." Brian explained he wasn't happy about going to talk to Bilkens and Markham again but being next to this woman he just met was becoming a little to arousing.

" So, let them wait. It's not like your one to follow rules. That's way I picked you." Joey said as she sat on a stool not to far from the car she was working on. She knew her comment would rise questions with Brian, but she didn't mind.

" What do you mean that's way you picked me?" Brian asked as he crossed his arms and stared at her sitting down.

" I got to choose who I work with and for this case I chose you. It took a lot to convince Markham to go along with it, he wanted you to go to prison. But you're the only one that can pull this off." Joey explained as she crossed her arms. She wasn't hiding the fact that she liked Brian and wasn't good at keeping her feelings to her self.

" You seem so sure." Brian pointed out.

" I am." Joey said with confidence with a slight smile. Keeping the intense stare between them. Then after a couple of seconds she broke the silence. " Well we should get going, I'll ride with you." She said as she hopped off the stool and walked to Brian's Nissan skyline R34 GTR, he followed not saying a word, this should be interesting, He thought as they reached the car.
