Finding My Way

(Gonna do some changes here so it'll be an AU. Hope you guys like them and I'm sorry if it took me so long to update. I change the pairing as well because the previous idea just…, died like that :( )

Seeing him in there didn't just breaks my heart, it breaks Elena's, the Torettos' and well…, particularly everyone's hearts. I know he didn't do it. As he said, someone from the inside who knows all about the case, the evidences and everything must've done it, but the question is who has the guts to do it?

My name is Maria Graham. I used to work for the FBI until my brother; Will Graham was apprehended for the crimes he didn't commit. Now, I work for the DSS, directly underneath the command of Agent Luke Hobbs. Will and I used to grow up at Los Angeles, across the home of the house of Dominic Torreto. Will didn't usually go along with them back then, but he, Dom and Vince were like the best of buds. Vince often came by to our house and he always stole Will's potato chips. Will eventually got used to it and often stocked the cabinet food with a bunch of potato chips.

Will didn't usually go along with all those races. That was me. Will was more like Mia; he studied hard and became a FBI Criminal Profiler. Will is…, different from the rest of us, but honestly no one cares. Dom always said family is everything. Will is somehow has pure empathy. He can redesign a crime scene from the killer's point of view. Dom would always say that weird as it may be, but it's a good thing.

Me? I'm not that special. I always go to the races and ended up racing, but I got caught – just ONCE. Even though that was my only crime, FBI hired me due to my high IQ and well…, Will's recommendation that I can interpret a crime scene like he does…, only that he's an empathy while I was sorta like a real life Sherlock Holmes. I deduce crime scenes. Anyway, we're here not to talk about me.

Will was never…, this sick. He was ok back then – I mean, back when we were kids, he wasn't this sick. Honestly, when Dom came over to see him at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will was in pretty bad shape. We all – well, the ones that knew Will; know that he didn't commit the crimes that Agent Jack Crawford said he did.

When we were with the FBI, Dominic had put himself in trouble and on his way to prison, he escaped with the help of Mia, ex-FBI Agent Brian O'Connor, Leo and Santos. When Will got a job at the FBI, we had to move, but that was 10 years before the Rio heist. When they were at Rio, planning a heist to steal Hernan Reyes's 100 million dollars, I went there to help and Will followed me there so I wouldn't be in trouble. Then, my current boss had been assigned to hunt down Dominic Toretto and the whole crew. Will and I managed to evade him and his team's surveillance in order to keep our FBI job.

But, we got caught and to save our butts, Dominic said he forced us to help him. We all know that's not true, so does Hobbs, but somehow, Hobbs gave us the slips. What really ticked Will of becoming what he is today was not just that Agent Jack Crawford has pushed Will to the very edge; it was what had happened during the Rio heist. When we got caught and being transported, Reyes's men ambushed us and killed all Hobbs's men and wounded Vince. Vince died on our way to our hideout. Will made a final promise to look after his son, Dominico and their final laugh was that Vince left some money to Rosa with instruction to give to Will, saying that he's paying back all the potato chips he 'stole'. In the end, Hobbs and Officer Neves, whom Will later had a crush on, helped us to payback for what Reyes did.

After the heist was successful, Will and I returned and surprisingly Hobbs didn't reveal to Jack that we were involved in the heist with the Toretto crew. The money? Well, Will gave half of his to Rosa and he stashed his cut somewhere at his house at Wolftrap, Virginia. Mine? Well, that's a secret. Actually, if the two of us invest the money properly, we could've just retired, but Will is not the person to just sit at home and play with his dogs. Me? I didn't quit the FBI at first because someone needs to look after Will.

Everyone went low profile after the heist…, until Agent Hobbs called the two of us to help in their investigation about the destruction of a Russian military convoy led by an Owen Shaw and his crew. Will and I were united back with our family and a new addition. Mia and Brian were together and they have a son named Jack. While the men went after Shaw and his gang, I stayed behind even though I prefer to help out, but I had to. A few days later, Will called saying that they managed to capture Shaw using Will's empathy ability and Letty, who was presumably dead was alive and working for Shaw at first then changes side, but seconds after I hung up the phone call, Elena, Mia, Jack and I were attacked by Shaw's henchmen. Elena escaped with Jack while I tried to fight back, but ended up getting wounded and Mia got kidnapped.

The rest went after Shaw while Will dragged me to the ER. Once he knew I was safe, he went to fetch Elena and Jack. Elena and Jack hid with me at the hospital while Will stood guard. Our crew returned, but short one man – Giselle died trying to save Han. Everyone was given full amnesty, including us but discreetly and finally returned to US. Dom and Letty were back together and Dom pushed Will to tell his feelings to Elena. Dom knew Will had a crush, but for a friend, Will sacrifice his own happiness to see his friend happy. That's my brother, Will.

After London incident, Elena worked with Agent Hobbs and given her new American citizenship, she stayed with Will at his house while I stayed at a posh apartment at town. It's at least nearby so I can look after Will in case Elena has to leave for work for days. This is where Will began to deteriorate and…, well, I kinda fell for the bad guy. I used to have a crush on this guy named Johnny Tran, one of Dominic's rival back at LA. Will was the only one knew of my feelings towards Johnny. Before we moved to Virginia nearby the FBI, I went over to Johnny's territory and I was caught by Lance, Johnny's cousin and he brought me to Johnny. The reason why Johnny and Dom haven't killed each other yet is because of Will. Somehow, Will is the bridge to their peace because Will…, sorta helped Johnny a lot back in school and Dom didn't know why Will wanted to help him. I was left alone with Johnny and I told him about my feelings and that I was moving. Before I could hear a response, I tried to run, but Johnny caught up with me and gave me a kiss. He dropped me back home in his Honda and no words were spoken. That was the last I saw of him…, or so I think. I once asked Brian how did he ended up with the team and he told me. He even told me what happened to Johnny. I felt saddened by it, but life must move on.

Anyway, after London, there was the case of Minnesota Shrike and the Garrett Jacob Hobbs incident, Will was never the same. He was paired up with this shrink – Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He became his shrink and after a while, he and I developed feelings. He was this sweetest guy – cooks meal for me, taking me to opera, etc. I mean, who will not be smitten by his gentleman-like courtesy?

I know what I'm telling you is sorta confusing. So, let me start way from the beginning where we meet the 'good' Dr. Lecter.
