Later on that afternoon, Dom went to get Brian up and found him changing clothes and shoes. "Did you sleep all right?" Dom asked from the doorway.
"Come here." Brian said as he tightened his shoelaces.
Dom walked over leaving the door opened and asked, "What?"
Brian stood and they were almost pressed together. He rested his hands on Dom's shoulders and said, "I knew the first time I seen you that we'd find a way to get together. Me bringing Teresa and the boys closer won't change that. Now I'm going to kiss you okay."
Dom nodded and felt Brian kiss him gently before he dived in wanting more to taste. Dom gripped Brian's hips and kissed him back when Brian let him. Dom liked how Brian kissed, very controlled but everywhere at the same time. Brian had his arms hanging loose over his shoulders and finally Dom had to pull away so he could breathe. He sucked in some air and said, "Let's go get some cars. We'll finish this conversation tonight."
"Sounds good." Then Brian slipped his tongue into Dom's mouth for a quick kiss and he sidestepped him.
Dom turned towards Brian and asked, "That how it's going to be Bri?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you going to play tease now?"
"I think we've had five years of that. It definitely wouldn't be a tease if we didn't have this job to do. I'd have you underneath me so quick…"
"Who said I was bottoming?"
"Who said you were?" Brian said as he left the room. He heard a low growl as Dom came out behind him.
The four went their ways to start the plan; Brian and Mia playing tourists on the train and Vince and Dom coming up on an all terrain vehicle with special extractor system built in to get the cars. Things were going according to plan until one of the other men told his portion of the crew in Portuguese about what their boss Hernan Reyes was looking for and Dom put Mia in the car and told her that they'd meet her. She nodded and once her car hit the sand she let it loose and went the opposite direction. Brian and Dom took the Corvette and jumped the ATV still attached to the side of the train.
On the way back Dom glanced at Brian and saw the grin plastered on his face. "You're nuts Brian."
"That was fucking incredible Dom." Brian laughed and then got serious. "I know we're in some sort of trouble but you just driving over that vehicle was awesome."
"Well we need to get rid of this car and get back to Vince's before too many people are the wiser that we were involved."
"I know. I've got money for a cab if you want to leave this on the other side of town. We can wipe our prints and go from there."
"Ever the cop Bri. If we wipe our prints we'll wipe theirs too."
"This isn't an important car to them so it'll be all right."
"All right. We'll do it your way." Dom drove them the farthest they could get from Vince's inside the city limits and then Brian got them a cab to the market down the hill from Vince's house. Once they were clear to start walking Dom asked, "How do you do it?"
Brian looked over and asked, "Do what?"
"Seems like you go from fugitive, to cop, to fugitive and it's a cycle."
"If law enforcement's taught me anything it's to be a better criminal."
"I could see that with you, all the undercover work that they put you in."
"I had to be that good." Brian said as he looked up the hill and shoved his hands in his pockets.
Dom watched as his expression closed off and he put a plan together that they would be spending the evening alone doing nothing but relaxing. He stepped closer to Brian and wrapped his arm around his shoulders as they finished the trek up the hill. Brian startled a little but fell into the comfort that was offered from Dom being so close. They made it to the garage and Vince and Mia looked over their shoulders. "You feeling better Snowman?" Vince said.
"I'll survive." Brian said.
"Did you figure out what they could be looking for with this car?"
"Not yet." Mia said.
Brian stepped away from Dom, rolled his shoulders and neck and walked over to the car. He popped the hood and opened the doors. After a few minutes he found the one piece of electronics that didn't belong on the car at all and found a chip. He put it in his pocket and said, "We gotta take this apart piece by piece now. If anyone's behind us I don't want them to think we know what could be going on. It needs to look like we searched this thing inside and out."
Dom said, "Okay. Let's go guys. We can do this." The four of them spent the next three hours stripping the car down to the frame and then Dom looked over at Brian and asked, "What could be of importance on that thing you have in your pocket?"
"About to find out." Brian said as he walked over to a digital reader and stuck the card in the side. He looked through the information and said, "Damn. This is everything for this guy."
"What is it Bri?" Dom asked as he leaned close to Brian's bare back that was dripping in sweat.
"It's Reyes' entire operation. Schedules, meeting places, and some contacts."
"What's going through your head?" Dom whispered his breath ghosting over Brian's ear.
"I'd say we take this asshole down."
"Us four can't do it alone." Mia said from the other side of the table where she observed her brother and Brian.
"We've got contacts. We'll call them in."
"We're not cops Brian." Vince said breaking his silence.
Brian glanced at Vince and said, "Neither am I but we deal with street racing, this guy wants to cripple an entire community with drugs, poverty, and no hope. We can give it back to them."
"Such an idealist. How dangerous is this going to be?"
"Very. The FBI is going to be sending in their best hunter from the DSS to come find us particularly me seeing as how I've turned native on them from both the LAPD and the Federal standpoints. I can only get us so far ahead but we can get this done."
"When do you think this hunter will be here?"
"Shortly."
"Do you know who they're sending after us?"
"I have an idea but he'll let himself be known when he hits the country."
"Still thinking of bringing that lady down here?" Dom asked looking at Brian.
"What lady?" Mia asked.
Brian glared at Dom and turned to Vince and Mia and said, "When we're done in Rio I plan on flying a woman named Teresa and her two sons wherever we end up so that I can see them and talk to them."
"When did this Teresa come into the picture?" Vince asked.
Brian stood up abruptly and yanked the card out the reader. He yelled, "That's where I've been the last five damn years." Then he stormed back into the house.
Dom rubbed his face with his hand and left to find Brian pacing the living room. Brian saw him and immediately went to swing a punch at him. Dom caught Brian's hand and said, meaning every word of it, "I'm sorry Brian. I didn't think their reactions through. I shouldn't have brought up that subject the way I did."
Brian yanked his hand out of Dom's and said, "Damn right you shouldn't have. I was working on telling them when we had this plan going. I didn't want to rub T in Mia's face so thanks for doing that for me."
"You're not rubbing her in Mia's face! You're rubbing her in mine!" Dom shouted.
"Whatever! Just leave me alone!" Brian went to his room and slammed the door.
Dom dropped to the couch and started to grumble and growl. At least Brian was letting go of his Snowman routine. Things were going so well until they got back here from the job. Dom almost wanted Brian to bring back the Snowman but he knew Brian needed to figure things out on his own. He got up and found his phone so he could start calling their contacts and get this job done as soon as possible.
