Author's Note: Hey sorry for making you wait so long, but I've finally updated!! Yippie! So this first chapter is the Bretty ending because I had such an equal response I decided to write both ending. So the first is Bretty the second is Dotty. So if you only want to read a specific one I've made it easy for you. If you read both, there is only one part where the two chapters are the same, read though it because it does have its differences. Thank you for all the reviews and support. I am debating both a sequel and an epilogue. So tell me if you want one, I can be easily swayed. I am going to be starting another Fast and Furious fic soon so look for that. Oh and one last thing because I must. The Bring Back Letty petition, if you haven't signed please do, here's the website:

Chapter 7 – The Lone Ranger Stands Alone (Bretty ending)

Brian flung the front door open and rushed up the stairs. He grabbed a suitcase from Letty's closet and began shoveling clothes inside. He didn't think beyond the essentials. He piled Dominic's favorite toys into an old diaper bag. The money was already in the car, hidden in the trunk, safely out of sight. He opened the drawer to Letty's bedside table, dumping its contents into the suitcase as well. The chain glittered as he allowed his own clothes to mingle with Letty's. He gave the house a once over, packing anything he felt Letty might want. Pictures of the team and Anthony were added as well as Letty's diplomas. She had worked hard to turn her life right-side up only to turn it around all over again. Perhaps Letty wasn't meant for the conventional life. Perhaps Brian himself wasn't meant for the conventional life.

One, two, three, four, five, six and turn. One, two, three, four, five, six and turn; Letty repeated to herself, awaiting Joaquin's arrival. They'd have ten minutes, at the most, before the Feds showed up. He won't have time to do his usual routine which was bound to anger the man. The keys in her pocket began to slow her pace, weighing her down with their knowledge. The end was upon them all. Today they would lose what they had yet to gain. Today one would stand alone and Letty wondered if she'd be the Lone Ranger once again. She opened the warehouse door, setting of the signal, and letting Joaquin and his men inside. She glanced at her watch; ten minutes suddenly seemed like an eternity.

"What's this Leticia? I thought this was a business deal," Joaquin inquired as he revealed himself.

"Cut the crap Joaquin, you've got ten minutes before the Feds show up. I suggest you get your cars and get out," Letty declared, tossing the keys towards him.

"What about you? What's in it for you?"

"Nothing, I just don't plan to fall. I ain't selling you out either. As far as I'm concerned we've never met."

"Sounds marvelous," he replied distributing the keys to his men. He retrieved three brief cases from his SUV and handed them to Letty. "Your loyalty was an incredible asset to my organization."

"Thank you," she nodded hearing a roaring engine approach. "Get out while you still can."

Joaquin stepped close to Letty, his arms drawing her in and he whispered, "Be safe Leticia." He placed a kiss on her forehead before heading out.

Letty had always respect Joaquin. Joaquin had always respected Letty. She watched his escape, preparing herself to face what she knew was to come. Dom's Mazda froze in front of her, much like its driver as realization hit. Dom swung his door open, running to Letty's side. He didn't want to believe what he saw. He couldn't believe that he had sold Letty out. Yet there she was before him, in the warehouse, evidence and all. The woman he loved stood before him; it was her freedom he was trading for his own. His son would lose his mother because of his father. Dominic would lose his mother because of Dom. He knew better, Letty never when down without a fight. Her plans were legendary. Loopholes were her expertise; he just wondered where it all was. When would she make her move? What would be her salvation this time around? Sirens sounded in the distance, foreshadowing events to come. Her face stayed composed, every movement perfectly plan, not a blink out of place. The Charger blasted into the warehouse, halting at Letty's right side. Suddenly Dom understood, she was going to run. She was not going to fall, not then and certainly not now. She would not face what Dom had brought upon her. She would not sacrifice her own freedom for his. She was not the same woman he had left years ago. She'd evolved, adapted to the world without him like he never could. She had faced her demons while he chose to run. She'd made her sacrifices and she would make no more.

The passenger door rocked open, revealing Brian in the driver's seat and Dominic nestled securely in his car seat awaiting Letty. Dom's eyes met Letty's, he would lose more than he'd ever imagined. He stared at his son playing quietly with his cars, racing them on an imaginary track. Round and round they when, taking Dominic farther and farther away from his father. Three more cars appeared behind the Charger, their drivers visible through the windshield; Vince, Leon and Jesse all prepared for their escape. There was only one missing…

"Where's Mia?" Dom inquired.

"She went to New York, to stay with your Aunt Stella," Letty confirmed stepping towards him. She grabbed his hand and turned it palm up. "Here are the keys to the house, the garage and the market. Everything's all set up. Everything is yours as it should be. There are enough clients to last you a while, don't alienate them. There's some extra cash stashed in the market, behind the picture of Tony in the office. It should last you a least two years, in case anything happens. I gave Mia some money and she'll be set for at least four years, until she finishes college. The security codes are easily to remember, it's Tony's birthday." She closed Dom's finger around the keys before pulling away. She walked to the car, her hand resting on the door.

"Letty…" he started his eyes roaming from one member of the team to the next.

"What?"

"What about Dominic?"

"He an adventurous kid, aren't you little man?"

"Adventure! Adventure!" Dominic squealed his arms flaring in the air.

Dom stared at his son and his heart broke. He would lose everyone. Loneliness slipped into the cracks in his heart, solidifying the break. He had never imagined he would lose so much to gain his freedom. He had never been willing to lose. Letty slid into the front seat, her hand still resting on the door.

"I'm sorry Letty, I…" Dom began.

"Never meant for any of this to happen," Letty finished, closing the door.

Brian revved the Charger's engine as the sirens began closing in behind them. The Charger shot out of the warehouse, Vince, Leon and Jesse on his tail. Letty relaxed in her seat as the red and blues quickly disappeared in their rearview mirror. She watched as her past flew by her window, leaving her future clear and bright. All her storms and clouds were now behind her leaving clear skies ahead for her and the Team. The only question unanswered was where would they go.

Dom stood alone in the warehouse as the Feds pulled in. He was the lone ranger in the mists of his crumbling world. He watched as they searched every corner trying to find what they seek. Their taillights were long gone as was his own heart. She'd taken it with her, half for her, half for Dominic. Freedom would soon be his, he'd have what he had sacrificed so much for….and yet, it wasn't worth it. In the end all he ever wanted was not worth all he had lost. He had never left this way before. A complete numbness took over his body, rendering his limbs useless and heavy. Suddenly air weighed him down, tying his to his dreaded existence. He could never escape what he had brought onto himself or his family. He had forced his family to sacrifice all they had ever had so that he may have what he wanted. He could ask them for no more and they would give no more. They would strike out on their own, make their own worthy sacrifices. Their lives would go on and grow while his would wither and die. He would be the lone ranger, the lone ranger who would die alone without a soul to mourn his passing. His life no longer had meaning without Letty…he wondered if it ever would again. Would he forever be alone?

"Where to Commander?" Brian asked an awakening Letty.

They had been driving for a week now. They'd made it past the border and were now making their way through Mexico with an unknown destination in mind. Letty left her mind wondered, to an event in her past that suddenly seemed like the most important. She snatched the walkie-talkie off the dashboard and propped her feet onto it. She knew where to go, or rather Vince knew where to go.

"Hey Vince," she spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Yeah Let?" Vince's voice crackled.

"Didn't you mention a friend you had in Brazil? You said he was looking for some new partners?"

"Yeah?"

"You think he's still looking?"

"Serious?"

"Serious. Think you can get us there?"

"Yeah, yeah! Let's do this!" he exclaimed pulling out of formation and taking the lead, letting Brian and Letty fall back.

Letty smiled; content with Vince's happiness. She snuck a glance at her still slumbering son before meeting Brian's gaze. His baby blues bore into her chocolaty browns demanding an answer to her odd response.

"I decided I'd let someone else lead for a while. This way I can stay home and play mommy for a little while. Leon can take the lead next then Jesse and maybe one day I'll give you a chance," she teased leaning against the headrest and preparing herself for the day's long drive.

Brian shook his head, he would never get used to Letty's mind. He followed Vince's lead, taking his rights and lefts and stopping when he stopped. They would begin their life anew. They would surround themselves with new people and build a new family. He hoped for Letty's and Dominic's sake that this time it would be permanent. He didn't want to keep moving from one place to the other. Dominic needed stability in his life and he himself was suddenly craving it. To be in one place, to live in harmony with their family for years on end would be a peaceful paradise. He turned to stare at his companion, happiness radiated off of her like rays from the sun. She warmed his skin, brightening his darken mood. His life was turning around. Both their lives were turning around and becoming what they both had longed for.
