Chapter 1

A Confusing Day

Leon was gathering cloths for himself and Letty while Mia tried to patch Letty up as best she could. "That's the best I can do Lett. You need to get to a hospital."

"I will, once we get to Baja."

Dom came in looking like he wa0s deep in thought, and Letty knew exactly what he was thinking about. "You'll find him Dom. Jesse'll be okay. You'll find him."

He gave her a small smile. He admired her attitude. Brian had betrayed them, Jesse was missing, Vince was in the hospital, and she had just in an accident, but she still thought everything would be okay. He bent down in front of her and kissed her. "I sure hope so."

Leon came running down the stairs with his and Letty's cloths. "I'm ready to go."

He went out to his car, put their things in the trunk, and got into the driver's seat.

Dom picked Letty up and carried her to Leon's car. He put her in the passenger seat and closed the door. She rolled the window down, pulled his face to hers, and kissed him. "I love you Dom."

"I love you too."

"Don't get arrested. The three of us'll be waitin' for ya."

He didn't understand. He knew Leon and Letty would be waiting for him, but who was the third person? "Three?"

She took his hand and put it on her stomach. "Three. I didn't want to tell you until after this last hijacking. I'm pregnant."

Dom smiled wider than she'd ever seen him smile. He kissed her again. "I'll be there. I promise." He steped away from the car and Leon drove away.

Letty watched Dom in the distance until she could no longer see him. Then she laid her head against the door and slept the whole way to Baja with her hands over her stomach.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Dom watched as Leon, Letty, and his unborn child drove away. When he could no longer see them he turned towards the house. Mia was standing on the porch. She too had watched Leon and Letty drive away.

"Mia, gather cloths for you, me, Jesse, and Vince. As soon as we find Jesse and get Vince out of the hospital we're outta here."

She nodded and went into the house.

Dom went into the garage and took out his father's car and his gun. He was about to get into the car when Brian pulled up.

"Dom put the gun down now!"

"Move your car."

"No, bullshit! Put the gun down now! No more running!"

"I'm not running!"

"Where's Leon and Letty?"

"They're long gone."

"Then it's over. I didn't call the police, but don't push me, put the gun down!"

"You are the cop! You're a cop! Brian, I gotta find Jesse before they do."

"I'll call in the plates. P.D'll pick him up way before Johnny even gets near him."

Mia heard Dom and Brian arguing and went out on the porch to see Dom ready to pummel Brain. "Dom, stop it! It's over, please!"

"Mia, stay out of it! Move the…"

Before he could finish Jesse pulled up. "Dominic, I am so sorry. I don't know what I'm doin' Dom. I'm so scared right now. I don't know what's goin' on."

Dom looked at Brian and threw his gun to the ground, then turned to Jesse. "Jess, what were you thinkin' man?"

"I don't know. I panicked. I'm sorry."

They all heard motorcycles coming down the road. Right away they knew it was Johnny Tran.

Brian got down behind his car and started shooting at them. When they pulled out their guns Jesse quickly got behind his car and the bullets just missed him. Brian continued to shoot at them as they went by and finally hit Johnny Tran. Lance kept on going. Brian went up to Tran to check his pulse. Jesse stayed behind his car, just in case.

"It's okay. He's dead."

Mia and Dom ran to Jesse and hugged him tightly. "Are you alright? Did you get hit?"

"No, I'm okay."

"Good. Dom, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

She went over to Brian.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Brian didn't know what to do. When Tran came around and started shooting at them he was more scared than he'd ever been. Not scared for himself, but scared for Jesse, Dom, and Mia. They had become family to him, especially Mia. He really did love her. Tanner was right. There's all kinds of family, and that's a choice he had to make. For a moment he just stared at Mia. He'd made his choice. He chose them. "You guys better get outta here."

Dom couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're letting us go?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Because I made a mistake. I fell in love with you guys. I let you become my friends, my family. I can't turn you in now. So get outta here."

"What about Vince?"

Mia stepped forward. "I'll stay and get him out of the hospital. I'll meet you in Baja."

"Mia..."

"They're not after me Dom. I'll be okay. You and Jesse should go."

"I can't just leave you here alone."

Brian stepped forward. "I'll help her."

Mia looked at him and smiled. He may have betrayed them before, but he was saving their lives. She couldn't help but love him. "We'll be fine Dom. I'll see you in Baja soon."

He sent Jesse inside to get their things that Mia had packed for them. He came back outside, hugged Mia and Brain goodbye, and got into his car, waiting to follow Dom to Baja. Dom hugged Mia, and turned to Brian. "You better take care of them."

"I will. Don't worry."

Dom got in his car and drove to Baja. He didn't know how to feel. He was happy that Jesse was okay, scared that Vince could die or get arrested, worried that Leon and Letty could get caught, and happy that he was gonna be a father. It had been a very confusing day.
