Chapter 8.
Rachel swam back up to the surface, and took a deep breathe in. She quickly wiped away water from her face, and looked around. Where she was, didn't feel right, she looked around the water, when she noticed the blood around her. Rachel started to panic and, then she saw three bodies floating.
Bodies, that belonged to her brother, sister, and brother in law. Rachel swam to them. "No, oh no, no, no. NO!" she screamed.
"Rachel!" a voice yelled.
Rachel sat up, trashing around, she opened her eyes, crying. Puck was sitting next to her, she could barley see the others by the door.
"Hey, it's okay. Baby, I'm right here, it was just a bad dream." Puck soothed. Rachel just tried to regain her breath, while Puck just rubbed her back as she sat on his lap, whispering to her.
"It's all a dream, nothing's wrong right?" Rachel asked shakily.
"No, it's just a bad dream." Puck assured her. Rachel just sobbed in relief. Puck just looked up to his friends and nodded to them, that he had her. Matt, and Mike carried Artie back and left. Rachel just tighten her grip on his arms and tried to regain control of her breathing.
"The water was stained blood red, and I saw my brother, sister and Brian's body floating and I just, they were floating around me." Rachel whispered.
"Baby, they all promised you they were going to be fine, besides, Vince called you yesterday, he was waiting for Brian and Mia to head to him within hours." Puck assured her. Rachel looked at her clock and it was 3 am. She nodded to him and sighed.
It's been about a month now that her siblings had left, and she been waiting for calls for them, even letters under fake names, something so she could be in peace. The only news she cam across was from Vince, after spending about an hour crying on the phone on how she missed him and him filling her in on the new life he made, he told her that he made sure they were to arrive to his house.
"I know, I'm just jumpy. I've never been this far away from my family." Rachel replied, she pulled away from his arms and laid back to her bed. She sighed as she felt Puck lay next to her and pulled her closer to him.
"Baby, it's going to be alright." Puck said, pecking her lips. Rachel smiled a little and relaxed.
"Thanks." Rachel told him softly. She rested her head on his chest. "Can you sing to me."
Puck let out a small chuckled. "You may be very Carolina, but you have your Rachel moments." he told her. Rachel understood what he meant and she smiled. He softly began humming Sweet Caroline, and she smiled.
She sighed in content and kissed his chest, as he continued to softly sing to her. Rachel fell asleep right away, but Puck stayed awake, and just tilted his head to kiss her forehead. He sighed, and leaned over to grab his phone, he knew that his girl has been on edge for a bit now, after her call with Vince.
He went to his music app, and decided to play some classic rock, he turned the volume down and laid back down comfortable, puling Rachel a bit closer, rubbing circles around her hip. After a a few minutes he joined her in the slumber.
Hours later, Puck woke up to an empty bed, he sighed and got up to use the restroom and brush his teeth. He put some basketball shorts and made his way downstairs. He made his way out into the living room, when he saw Rachel making breakfast in his shirt, and short shorts.
"Well that's a damn good sight to wake up to." Puck said. Rachel jumped and and turned to him.
"Noah, you scared me." Rachel breathed out. Puck just smirked and walked over to her, he noticed there was a lot of breakfast and turned to her.
"You alright, babe?" he asked her, pulling her to him. Rachel sighed and shook her head no.
"I'm still anxious." Rachel replied, moving away from his grasp. "I'm just, I just need to know that they're going to be alright." she told him, as she started to pace in the kitchen.
"Baby, worrying won't help you, let's just hope your family is alright." Puck consoled her. Rachel just smiled and leaned in to kiss him. Puck just smirked and picked her up, making her squeal and wrap her legs around his waist.
Rachel just smiled in the kiss and sighed. "You're such a bad boy, with the golden heart." she said amused.
Puck just snorted. "Don't go around telling everyone, I got a rep to keep."
Rachel just tilted her head back, and laughed, he chuckled and kissed her neck. Puck set Rachel down and allowed her to go back to cooking while he went to set the table up. By the time they finished, the boys wheeled in Artie, yawning.
"It smells good, what ya make?" Matt asked, as he parked Artie by table. Mike plopped down on the chair and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
Rachel turned to them and smiled when she noticed them all, almost half dressed. Artie just had on basketball shorts. Matt only had his boxers on, and Mike wore a muscle shirt and boxers.
"You guys, make me feel like I'm your mother." Rachel teased. She picked up the pan, and she served the guys the omelets, and then some waffles she made. The guys, all thanked her and she went back to get her vegan food.
"Grace first, niños." Rachel teased. They all laughed, and linked hands. Rachel said grace and dug into their breakfast. Rachel just smiled at them all, smiling, when her phone rang. She quickly stood up and rushed to answer her phone.
"Hello?" Rachel answered.
"Carolina." Dom's voice sighed. Rachel just sighed in relief and she giggled.
"Dom." Rachel squealed. She sat back down and continued to eat her breakfast. "How's it going, are you safe?"
"I just made here with Vince, and he got us a job, Brian and Mia are already ahead to do what's needed to be done." Dom replied, in a tone she knew well.
"Why do I have the feeling, that you're trying to give me some sort of warning." Rachel replied, slowly.
"Yeah, I miss you too." Dom replied. Rachel got the hint and she motioned for someone to give her a paper and pen.
"I need you to tell me what part of Brazil you are at?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I will take a picture of the big Jesus monument." Dom replied.
"Rio de Jainero?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah." Dom replied.
"Alright, I'm gonna make plans okay, if anything happens, to you, I want you to somehow find some way to communicate with me Dom, promise me that."
"I promise." Dom replied. Rachel sighed, and they hung up the phone.
"Chicos, pack your things, and get everything together, we're heading to Brazil." Rachel said, taking off.
"Wait, what?" Mike asked, dazed and confused.
"Are you sure about his Rach? I mean we're literally heading to the other side of the world because, you felt like something is up?" Matt asked
"Are you doubting me?" Rachel snapped at him. "I have this gut feeling, that's something is gonna go down, and I want to make sure it's not me burying my family."
Matt held his hands up. "I'm sorry, Rach."
"No, I'm sorry. This is too much for me. Dom hardly ever uses code talk with me, so when he did, we just needed to leave to make sure." Rachel explained. They all nodded, and kept quiet.
They were all currently at the airplane, making their way to find their seats. They all found their spots and Puck got his and Rachel's backpack and set in it's slot. Rachel just and plopped down in her seat, by the window.
"You alright, babe?" Puck asked her. Rachel just shrugged.
"I'm just tired. I got no sleep last night, after waking up from the nightmare, and it's a relief that we got this plane tickets very early. I'm just so worried." Rachel admitted. Puck just gave her soft kiss and she sighed.
"Rachel, quick question." Mike whispered. Rachel nodded. "How is it that you have so much money?" he whispered asked. Rachel just gave him a smirk and shrugged. Mike just stared at her in amusement and sat back.
Puck just laughed and ignored the lady that was going over the instructions. Rachel just looked at the travel guide magazine that she had found, and looked at them.
"Watcha looking at?" Puck asked her. Rachel smiled.
"Places to visit." Rachel replied. She turned to him and smiled. "I was thinking, about my future. The whole Broadway dream, that Rachel Berry has, I don't want to do it." she admitted.
"You want to give up Broadway?" Puck asked, shocked.
"That's a Rachel Berry dream, not Carolina Toretto's." Rachel began to say. "At one point, my real name is going to be exposed, and what then?"
"Go after Carolina Toretto's dream then, babe." Puck replied. Rachel just smiled and sighed.
"My life is crazy, I should just go work undercover, I'm great at that." she teased. Puck just chuckled.
"Who knows, maybe." Puck teased back. Rachel just rolled her eyes, and she leaned against her boyfriend.
"We have a bit more time to figure things out soon." Rachel replied. Puck just hummed, and she fell asleep.
Puck just kissed her hair, and followed her into slumber.
About fifteen hours later, they finally landed, and they all got off, groaning, stretching and nagging about how they hated long flights.
"That was super long." Matt groaned.
"Tell me about it." Rachel agreed, as she stretched. She bent backwards, and felt her back let out a pop, she sighed in relief, and smiled.
"That's just gross." Mike said, as he twisted his body to pop.
"You're doing it as well, stop complaining." Matt muttered. Rachel just laugh and started to look around, she smiled at the scenery in front of her.
"Well, I can certainly scratch visiting Rio De Jainero off my bucket list." Rachel said, taking out her phone to take a selfie. Puck just chuckled and went to go join her in the picture. "Matt, here. Take a picture of me and Noah." she squealed.
Matt just laughed and took her phone, to take the picture. She looked around and her eyes went wide when she thought she saw Vince running. She frowned in confusion.
"You alright, Rach?" Mike asked. Rachel turned to them and nodded.
"Yeah, I thought I saw Vince." Rachel mumbled. They posed for a picture and then made their way out, and she hailed a cab. Alright, first thing first, heading to the place that Vince told me he stays." she said. Rachel told the cab the address and they left.
After a long ride, Rachel paid him, and they all helped get Artie out. Rachel just looked at the many houses, and stairs, and before Rachel could step forward, she felt someone grab her mouth and get pull her back.
"Shh, it's me." a voice said. Rachel turned around and saw Vince, she let out a big sigh and hugged him.
"God how much I've missed you." Rachel whispered. The guys all caught up and smiled. Rachel pulled back and frowned. "Where are my brothers, and my sister?" she asked him.
"They kicked me out of the warehouse." Vince replied frowning. Rachel frowned even more.
"What do you mean, kicked you out?" she asked. Vince looked around, and urged her to follow him. They all followed him, ignoring the incoming roars of the truck. Vince showed them his secret house, and shoved them in.
"The job we took went sideways, there was a car, that the men I worked for, is needed. I don't what was involved, but all I know it's a chip they want, and it's in the car that Mia had taken, I went to go get it but Dom got pissed and kicked me out." Vince replied.
Rachel felt herself get a bit angry. "What exactly did you get them into Vince." she sneered.
"I didn't know! They just want the chip, and because of that they're being hunted." Vince replied, frustrated.
"What did you expect Vince!" Rachel yelled, and before Vince could retaliate, they heard multiple gunshots go off, Rachel ran to the small window, and she noticed a bald head running out on the rooftops. "Dom, oh my god, they're after him." she replied.
Puck tensed when Rachel turned around angry. "Babe." he called out, but she ignored him, she pushed past him and pushed Vince.
"This is all your fault!" Rachel yelled, pushing him, and punching him. Vince took the hits, and looked at her in pain.
"I'm sorry." Vince almost whined.
"I don't care. I need guns, I'm going after them, I need to make sure that my family is going to be alright." Rachel snapped.
"Not right now. I know that the gunshots were from Reyes' men. Also word on the street now, is that they got Federals after your brother." Vince admitted.
Rachel just sighed, and turned to him. "I want you to go out there, and find them. Disguise yourself if you have to, and if I know anything about my brother, is that this isn't going to stop him. You said that Dom has this sort of chip. I'm pretty sure he's going to use it to his to his advantage." she instructed.
Vince nodded, and made his way out. "If I don't come back, and something's wrong here, run." he warned, and left. Rachel just sighed and closed her eyes.
"So what are we going to do?" Mike asked. Rachel turned to them and smiled.
"Well, I guess we're going to hide her for a while." Rachel replied, smirking.
The guys just laughed and nodded. "What about me?" Artie asked.
Rachel smiled. "You're family, and we never turn our back on family, so we're going to improvise with you."
Artie nodded and smile. They guys all went to go get comfortable, while Rachel just looked around the place and nervously tapped her foot, and began to hum.
"You alright, babe?" Puck asked her, as he pulled her to him.
"Yeah, just I want to be with my family." Rachel replied as she pressed her face on his chest.
"We'll get a reunion." Puck replied.
Rachel smiled, and kissed his cheek. "Go rest, I'll check the radios for anything."
Puck just nodded, and Rachel walked to the small kitchen that was there, and checked for any food. She found canned foods and fruits, she sighed and decided to work with that.
Hours later, all the boys were fed and rested, Rachel started to get restless, she had a bad feeling on her stomach. Artie noticed.
"You alright Rach?" he asked. Rachel turned to him, worry in her eyes.
"I feel like we should run. They already targeted the small warehouse that Dom was hiding at, if those men Vince was talking about, know that Vince didn't do a good job, they're going to look for places he was hiding." Rachel said, pacing on the floor. "Matt, Mike, take Artie and start heading out, mix in the crowds. Have your phones with you."
The boys nodded, and started to pack small things that Vince had and they took. Rachel just looked everywhere for any evidence that can be used against Vince and she saw a picture of a woman and baby. She took that and saved it.
She looked around frantically and destroyed anything that contained evidence. "There's nothing left, let's go." Puck warned.
Rachel nodded, and found Vince's guns. She sighed in relief, and got them, she handed over two to Puck and the other two to herself. She got the ammo, and they took off. They ran off, mixing well in the crowd, just in time to get away from the men that was after her family.
Hours flew by and Rachel had bought some things. When she finally got a call from Artie.
"Nothing?" Rachel said. It was already about to be dark, and they were still separated from Mike, Matt and Artie, so they were communicating through phone.
"Well we did find us an empty space to sleep." Artie replied.
"Well stay there, and tell us exactly where it is." Rachel said. Artie agreed and hung up, she got the text message to where exactly they were. She showed Puck and they started to make their way out.
They headed towards the place and sighed in relief when she noticed that they were alright. "You guys should sleep."
"Before we do, remember Omar and Tego?" Artie asked her. Rachel frowned and nodded. "Well I was checking up on them, and they're arriving to Rio, tomorrow. And more known people to your brother and Brian."
Rachel smiled. "Well that's where we need to be, where they go, we go, and that's where my brother is at. Get some sleep, and tomorrow, we follow them." she said.
Morning arrived quickly, and Rachel was pacing in front of him as the guys got everything together.
"Got them." Artie said. Rachel turned to him and smiled.
"Alright guys, let's go." Rachel warned, they all got everything and Puck went to pick up Artie while Mike took the chair, and Rachel carried his tech bags, and Matt carried his bag and his.
They got in a cab, that Rachel managed to get somewhere and got in and started to tell the cab driver where exactly they needed to be. Few minutes later, they arrived. They got off, and they all followed Rachel, making sure they stayed hidden.
"Alright we're here." Mike said. Rachel just smiled wide and put her hair up in a messy ponytail and took a deep breathe in.
"Let's go in boys." Rachel said. Puck just laughed and started to make their way in. They heard voices arguing and by the time they go by the rail, and saw the whole thing in amusement.
"Too feo!" She heard Omar argue back. Rachel laughed and they all turned to her.
"Please do continue, this is interesting." Carolina told them. She walked in, with Puck, Mike, Matt and Artie right behind her.
"Who the hell are you?" The funny dude asked.
"Carolina Toretto." she introduced herself, smirking at everyone's shocked faces.
"I see you all met?" a voice said.
Rachel turned and saw her brother, she smiled wide. "Well this a very nice family reunion don't you think so Dom?" she teased.
Dom smiled wide. "Come here little trouble maker." Rachel just smiled and rushed and attacked him, hugging him tightly.
"So I'm guessing you have a plan?" Rachel asked.
Dom pulled back and looked at her. "What?"
"I know you well Dom, I bumped into Vince when I first arrived, he explained it all, and I knew that you
were going to use it at your advantage." Rachel explained.
Dom smirked, and Brian laughed. "Oh what have we done to your sweet little innocent sister." he teased to Dom. Brian walked up to her, and spun her around. "Hey Caro."
She pulled back and walked up to hug her sister. She turned back and saw her brother hugging this other woman, and shook hands with an Asian man. She turned to Omar and Tego and smiled widely.
"Hola chicos." Rachel greeted. And hugged them. "Miro que todo salio bien para ustedes." (I see everything went well for you both.)
"Yes, salio bien todo." Tego replied. Rachel smiled and nodded. (Everything went well)
Dom stared the boys. "So what can your boys work with?" he asked Rachel.
"Artie is tech, and seeing that we can't have Mia running out because they would recognize her, he stays with her. Noah is great at guns and driving, along with me. Mike and Matt are both quiet and can blend anywhere." Rachel explained.
Dom nodded. "You're going to be out third position driver, this is going to be a big job." Rachel just nodded, smirking.
Before they could do anything, Brian walked up to them with two men besides him. "Hey Dom, Caro. This is Tej, best circuit man in the east coast." he said pointing to one. "And this is my boy, Roman Pearce, we go way back, I met this guy in juvie. I pulled that job with him in Miami."
"Sounds hot." Rachel teased.
Dom chuckled and nodded at them. "I've heard about you, nice digs."
The Roman dude, nodded at him and Rachel just clapped her hands. "Well now that we all know each other, let's get down to business."
Rachel just smiled at them all, while the other just stared at her confused.
"So what this all about Dom?" the Asian guy asked. Rachel tilted her head at him, before another voice popped in.
"Yeah man, why did you drag us, halfway around the world?" Tej asked.
Rachel just smirked at them all. She looked up at her brother and nodded. "Because we got a job." he told the.
They all stared at him in confusion, and you sighed. "So what's the plan?" you asked, following your brother to where everything was.
Brian smiled at you, walking up to the table, and explaining the job. "All right, so our target's name is Hernan Reyes. And he runs the drug scene down here. He's never been busted because he doesn't leave a paper trail."
"No paper trail means no banks. And no banks means cash houses." the woman, Giselle said.
Rachel smiled. "Brains and beauty, I like it." she teased. Giselle turned to her and smiled widely.
Brian chuckled and opened up a map. "That's right, fourteen of them exactly. Spread throughout the city."
"And we're going to hit all of them." Dom finished off. Rachel just smirked and turned to Puck, while everyone froze and stared at Dom like he was crazy.
"All of them?" Tej asked him.
"All of them." Dom repeated. Rachel smiled at them amused.
"Sounds crazy." Roman began to say. "You bring us to a whole other country so we can rob the dude who runs it? I thought this was business. Sounds personal to me." he told them. Everyone just stared at him. "Is that what this is? I got love for y'all, but personal ain't good business. I can't do this, homie."
Dom just stared at Rachel amused, and continued to talk "So what we're talking about is $400 million."
Roman paused and turned to Dom. "Say what? Four hundred, you see sometimes I be overthinking it man." he began to say. Rachel just stared let out a small laugh, while Tej just shook his head. "And I know we just met, but you just, kind of, got to."
"That's right, $400 million and everything we take, we split even." Dom told them.
"That's a little over $28 million apiece." Tej counted. Artie nodded at him. "I am down." he agreed.
"I'm in." Omar replied.
Rachel just stared at the other and they nodded. "This sounds like fun." she added in.
"28 million." Roman repeated. "Sounds like a whole lot of vaginal activity to me."
"You can't pull of 14 heists, on the same mark. You just can't." Giselle pipped in.
"As soon as we hit the first one, they're going to be doing everything they can to protect the rest." Han said.
Dom smirked at everyone. "Exactly."
Rachel just beamed. "Well, I say we hit the first house now."
"You truly are your brother's sister, you know that." Brian said. Rachel just shrugged and smiled at Dom.
Whoop there it iss.
