Vince's POV
I sit there and tug on the tie that I have on. I cannot believe that he got me to do this. He knows how I feel about court rooms…and suits.
I don't know how he managed it but I am now sitting in the court room that snowman is going to be judged in. I am sitting in here in a very expensive suit that fits me like a tight glove, not my style. I look at the clock and find that there is still going to be 10 minutes before he even gets in here.
'Dang Dom and his stupid plan.' I thought.
"They know what I look like and will be looking for me. They think of you as someone that Brian helped. You can go in and see what is going on. All you have to do is keep the phone on and I will hear everything as well. "Dom gives me a look of 'you have to do this because I told you to.'
"Dom, they might have me under look out as well. You have no idea what they are looking for. For all we know, the buster has told them everything and this trial is to try and bring us out."
"Do you really believe that Brian would do that to us? That he would almost die to make sure that you were out of harm's way and for me to run like he got me to do. I don't think so. That man would not sell us out." He snorts at me. I can't believe that he still has this much belief in him about the man.
"Well what is going to happen after words? You know that they are going to try to put our sins on the boy."
"I am going to do the special and then I have no clue. I just know that I have no reason to stay here other then you but sense you are helping me. You can't stay here either. Meet me at our bar after the special." He gives me that one smile that makes me realize how much I fell for him in the first place. I guess that that smile is for the man that we are in the mode for saving.
Remembering what the hell I was here for in the first place made the time go by as fast as possible and I stud as the judge came in. Dang I had female judges; they remind me of Letty on her time of the month. Crabby and they have to have their way all the time.
They had the snowman up there quick and asked him questions.
"Did you help them steal from the trucks?" Brian went for the negative, "Then why can the Mr. Salvatore put you out side of his door when he was trying to get off a man that was stuck to it?"
"That man who was hanging was trying to fall off and I was trying to get him off."
I guess that they tried to get him on the fact that he got me out of the trucker's way so that he did not kill me. I started to dose off. It was not until the woman hit me in the ribs did I even notice.
"Did you or did you not let Torretto go? Did you not give him your keys and let him drive away?"
"I did. He would have killed anyone that tried to put him back in prison." He was being so honest. I can tell that the group that decides his fate is not going for it.
The jury was not gone even 20 minutes when they came back.
For letting Dom go: guilty.
For assisting in the theft: guilty.
For assault on the trucker: guilty.
They put everything that was put on us on him. I can't believe that they jury would do that to one of the most innocent person that I know of. They only think I can think of when it comes to him being guilty of is his need for the rush of driving fast. He looks at me and gives me a small smile.
'For Jesse.' He mouthed. I shook my head. He just got 10 to 25 years.
I walk out of there and put the phone up to my ear.
"Did you get that Eagle?"
"I got it. You head your way to where ever you want to go. Come and visit if you are not coming with me…don't ever call me Eagle ever again." I hear on the other end. I had to snort.
"You got a way out?"
"You know I do. If I was you, I would not see Letty for a while."
And like that he hung up. I smile and left. On my way to my car to Mexico. I really hope that it goes the way Dom wants it to.
Dom's POV
I sit in Letty's car listening to the court call. I was foaming, how dear they even think that he helped us. Yeah he might be a racing junky but he does not do that. I try not to go in there and nock a few heads together by ringing the steering wheel with my gloved hands. I did not want my prints at the scene. I will defiantly not leave any hair.
I wait until the cop car that Brian was in pulls out and I follow it. I was deciding if I should just flip the police car or what. If did that I would be in trouble if Brian got hurt too. Then they would be on my ass faster then I want them to be.
I got my chance when they went and got donuts. I mean really… they get mad when we joke about them and donuts. If they would not us picking on them then they should not make it that easy for us to.
I looked around to make sure that there are not any cops around. Nope, just some teens that came here to make out. I park my car in front of the police car and make my way to it. I got right next to Brian's door and looked at him. He looks like hell. His hair does not look like it has been washed for days and it looks like he has not had any sleep for the same amount of time.
He turns and looks at me.
"Dom you should not be here. For all you know they are having a stake out waiting for you to do something like this."
I give him the look of 'Oh do shut up', and he does. I open the front passenger door and unlock the door that is close to Brian. I have to say that Cops are getting slower and lazier because, really, they left the car unlocked.
"Dom stop, what are you doing? You do know that they are not going to like this and you are going to be in some worse deep shit then already are."
I pulled him out and pulled him to the car. With that we left. I have to say that this 'runaway' scheme is highly anti-climactic, but none the less we are gone.
"Dom, you should have let me go."
"You know what Bri, I don't give a care. You have not done what we have and you should not have to do our crimes. I had to get you out don't you see. I did it because I wanted to and it needed to be done. Now if you don't shut up I will hit you…Hard." I turn my attention to the road. We got back to the place that I was living in for the last; I have no clue how long and told him to get in the car in the garage. He nods and I put the keys of Letty's car in the house where she put them.
I nod once from inside the kitchen and make my way outside. He was trying to pick the lock on the cuffs and I did not say a word to him. I pull out of the garage in a newly painted black supra.
We were down a ways from the house when he finally got the cuffs off and then he starts to pull of the dang orange crap that he had one. I have to say that the color is cool but the clothes are not. I point to the clothes in the back set and he puts them on and looks at me.
"Thank you Dom. I don't think that you should have done it but thanks. Where are we going?" He says to me as he finally gets comfy.
"Some place where we can't be touched for a while." I smile at him and he gives me one back.
