Note from the Author:

You guys know I own none of the characters from The Fast and The Furious or 2 Fast 2 Furious, so why am I even typing this message? If any names appear that happen to be unfirmiliar to you then it is a character that I created. Anyway, this is my first stab at a fanfic on this site so, here goes nothing. Please review, I really wanna know what you think!

Thanks,

Somewhere in Miami, shortly after Brian and Roman helped with the investigation that lead to the incarceration of Carter Verone.

It only took Brian a few minutes to realize what he must do.

"Hey man, I'll be right back. Stay here," he said to Roman as he turned back toward the water where Verone's dilapidated boat was now docked.

"Ah...I see how it is. You ditchin' me for your woman, huh dawg? Well..." Roman shouted after him, but his words trailed off.

Brian walked over to Agent Bilkins, who, at the moment, was looking very pleased. " It's

about time I set things right," Brian said to himself as he caught the agent's eye.

'Hey O'Conner, back so soon?" Bilkins asked with a sly smile. Even though Brian had screwed up with his past investigation, in Bilkins' eyes he had redeemed himself this time.

Brian returned the smile then became very serious as he replied, "Look, I know I really screwed up in L.A., but I think I might have made up for it this time. Besides, compared to all the charges Verone is facing...well...let's just say, high jacking trucks looks pretty tame compared to the charges against this guy."

"Yes Brian, you did make a few mistakes...well actually one huge mistake on your past assignment, but you really have made up for it this time. However, I don't see where you're going with this. I just granted you and Mr. Pearce totally clean records. What else could you possibly want from me?" Bilkins asked, appearing a bit amused.

" I think you know what I want," Brian replied, "I want you to drop all the charges against Toretto and his team. I want you help me get them back in the states and promise me that the FBI will leave them alone."

"Brian...you know I can't do that," Bilkins said loosing his smile. " Toretto is a criminal."

"That's bull shit! I know you have the power to make this all go away," Brian yelled, then he got closer to the agent and lowered his voice almost to a whisper, "I risked my life for you this time. I got your guy. I got innocent people involved to help you! When you found me and gave me this proposition, I didn't do it for me. I didn't do it because I was afraid of going to jail, I did it because I thought that maybe I could get them, maybe I could help them get their lives back."

"That's really heroic O' Conner, but Toretto is a criminal. I can't just make his problem dissaper.

He committed a crime. If I cleared his record there would still be the chance that he'd do it again." Bilkins replied uncomfortably.

"Look, I will do anything to make this happen...I mean it ," Brian pleaded, sure that he had already been defeated.

Bilkins remained quiet for a long time then finally he said something that took Brian by surprise. "Ok, I'll see what I can do...If you do something for me."

"I already told you, I'll do anything," Brian said trying to keep his cool.

"I am really impressed with your undercover skills. Even though you let Toretto go, your did one thing right, you didn't blow your cover until the very end and you did that by choice. So I want you to do some more work for me every now and then. If you agree, I will do everything in my power to get Toretto's record wiped clean. Do we have a deal," Bilkins asked, totally sure that Brian would agree.

Sure enough Brian did agree and the two shook hands making it a done deal. As Brian headed back in the direction of Roman, Bilkins called out, "I'll be in touch." Brian nodded as he disappeared behind a row of hedges.

On a freeway in Miami near Tej's garage, a little while later

"So cuz, how'd it go with your woman," Roman asked breaking the silence between them.

"Sometimes you need to get the whole story before you start talkin'," Brian scoffed, paying close attention to the other cars around him.

"So this isn't about a female then," Roman asked.

"Oh it's about a woman, bro," Brian said with a grin, " Just not the one you're thinkin' of."

Brian saw the look of confusion on Roman's face and decided to tell him about what had happened in L.A. and about the deal he had made with Bilkins. By the time he had finished his story, they were standing outside at Tej's garage.

"Look Roman, I know you really love it down here in Miami and I know we talked about startin' a garage here, but what do you say we go back to Cali? We can start a garage in L.A. What do you say," Brian added at the end of his tale.

At first Roman looked skeptical not to mention disappointed, but after thinking things over for a minute he gave Brian his answer.

"Come on cuz, let's do the damn thang! Miami is nice, but it ain't home. Besides I wanna meet the one that literally got away,"he said with a smile. Brian was so excited that he tackled Roman to the ground.

"Hey," a familiar voice said from behind them, "I hate to break up this little love fest, but did I hear you correctly? Are you goin' back to L.A.?"

Brian got up and stood before Tej and Suki. "Yeah man, you heard right. You interested?"

Tej thought a moment before replying, "Hell yeah...Miami's kinda getting old. Besides it'd be too quiet without you two around here raising hell. Plus there's lots of opportunities for me to make some cash in L.A. Oh yeah, by the way you still owe me for those fines I got helping you."

So it was decided that Brian, Roman, Tej, and Suki would go to L.A. While everyone was preparing to go, Brian was preparing for something else. He was preparing to find the people that he had betrayed yet saved.
