Chapter Nine: Hijacking Gone Wrong

Dawn had settled over the region before Sara caught her first sight of the truck. Adrenaline pumped through her veins and her grip tightened on the steering wheel. Less than a mile from the truck Dom's voice came over the walkie talkies.

"Okay! Go time!"

Letty looked to Sara before answering back. "We're all good."

"I got nothing on the scanners." With Leon's statement the convoy kicked into gear. Dom's car raced past the semi truck and cut in front, forcing it to slow down. Sara drove up along the left side of the truck while Leon stayed in back, effectively pinning the truck into position. She saw Vince pop up out of the sun roof, shooting out the glass of the truck's windshield. Stepping on the gas to get in position, she nodded at Letty letting her know it was go time. Letty nodded back and got ready to make the jump to the drivers side of the truck as soon as Vince took care of the driver. It never happened though because as soon as Vince made the jump to the truck though all hell broke loose.

Gunfire was heard just as Dom came on the talkies. "He's got a damn shotgun! Leon!"

Leon's voice answered back. "Back off! Back off! Get him off of there!"

Dom's car swerved to the right, coming up along side the front of the truck he could hear Vince yelling for his help. "Unhook yourself. Do it!" Reaching out the window towards Vince he yelled again for him to unhook.

Vince was struggling to hold on to the hood of the truck while trying to unhook his harness. He yelled out to Dom, "I can't get-"

Dom wasn't going to hear it. He held his arm out of the car reaching out to Vince. "You can do it! Come on, Vince!". Vince reached out his hand to Dom, just another foot...The trucker slammed on his brakes causing all the cars to swerve and Vince to loose what little grip he had. He went swinging to the passenger side, the wire from his harness wrapped around his arm.

Sara, knowing she had to do something to get the driver's attention off of the guys stepped on the gas while bringing their walkie to her lips. "Dom! I'm pulling up to distract him!"

Letty grabbed onto the handle bar above the door, ready to leap into action. "Let's see some skills girl."

Sara briefly glanced at Letty. "You know it." Swerving in front of the truck back and forth she looked over her shoulder and said out loud, "Come on, boy! Shot doesn't get better than this." A few more swerves when suddenly the back window got shot out causing both girls to duck.

Letty explained the situation best when she yelled out, "Son of a bitch!"

While this was happening Dom had come up next to the truck again yelling for Vince to unhook himself. "Try it again. One, two, three! Unhook yourself!"

Vince couldn't get the hook to release and the wire was cutting into the skin of his right arm. Barely getting missed by the shots coming through the door he let Dom know he couldn't get free. "Dom! I can't get my arm free!"

Leaning his whole upper body out of the window Dom tried again to make a grab for Vince. "Vince, grab my hand! Give me your hand! I'm gonna pull you off the rig!"

A lucky shot by the driver of the truck caught the side of Dom's car near the front tire causing Dom to swerve into the gravel and loose a lot of speed. Sara and Letty could hear Vince screaming Dom's name as though he was afraid Dom was going to leave him.

Dom stepped on the gas doing his best to catch up to the truck again. Just as he came up along side the trailer Sara had an idea.

"Letty, get ready to go up top. I think Vince's harness is stuck, your going to need to get on the truck with him and cut him loose. Can you do that?"

Letty nodded her head. "Hell yeah I can do that!" Grabbing the walkie to let Dom know the plan. "Dom! Move out of the way. We're coming to get him." From under the trailer they saw Dom's car race forward.

Taking a moment to assess the situation, Sara judged that the fastest way to Vince was to go under the trailer. Taking a deep breath she told Letty to hold on while quickly turning the steering wheel, shooting them from one side of the semi, under it, and out the other side. Releasing her breath she allowed herself a small moment of victory. At least she hadn't killed them...

She rolled down her window coming along side Vince. "Hold on Vince! We're going to cut you loose!"

The sun roof had just finished opening and Letty was reaching for her seat belt to go up top when the semi veered into there lane knocking into their back tire casing the car to violently swerve, then spin. Sara tried but couldn't get the car to correct itself. The second they hit gravel they became airborne, flipping through the air and rolling when they finally hit ground.

Sara was dazed. Everything was shiny and sounded foggy. Giving her head a shake, things started to come back into focus when she heard Letty yelling her name. "Sara. Sara! Come on girl, let me know you're okay!"

Giving a slight cough she responded to Letty. "I'm okay. I hit my head pretty good but everything else feels okay."

"Oh thank god." The both released their safety belts when Leon came running up to their overturned car yelling for them.

"Letty! Sara! You guys alright!?" Pulling Letty from the car then Sara he helped them stand. Letty was the worse off between the two so Leon was holding on to her while yelling for Sara to follow. "Come on guys! We got to go!"

Just as they were getting into the car Sara saw a familiar orange car zoom by.

Seeing the car flip through the air was one of the most terrifying things Dom had witnessed recently. "Sara, Letty!" Pulling the walkie up he told Leon, "Pull back for the girls. Get them out of there!"

"I'm on it! Go!" Whipping a one-eighty Leon stepped on the gas to get back to the girls. "I've got 'em! You get Vince off that truck."

Dom had just gotten back in line with the cab of the truck when he saw Vince get hit in the side with a shot. He hit the gas but the damage that had been done to the front end of the car earlier was causing the motor to loose power, a final shot by the truck driver caused the car to shut down completely. Having no choice but to pull to the side of the road, Dom hit his steering wheel. "God dammit!" He heard a car zoom past him and was surprised to see the Supra catching up to the truck. A few moment later, Leon pulled up next to Dom.

"Get in!"

Hopping into the front seat he took a quick look at the girls in the backseat before yelling at Leon to catch up to the truck.

Brian knew that something had gone terribly wrong. As he passed one Honda that was next to another wrecked one on the side of the road he saw Leon helping Letty into the back seat and Sara getting in on the opposite side. It was obvious the girls had been in the Honda that wrecked. Racing forward he what he assumed to be Dom's car smoking and stopping quickly on the side of the road. The closer he and Mia got to the semi the more the realization sunk in that someone was on the outside of the truck and being dragged. Seeing Vince hanging there bloody and bruised, Brian quickly made a decision. Hitting the top of the car to release the roof he yelled over to Mia. "Take the wheel."

"What do you mean?"

"Take the wheel and put your foot on the gas! I'm gonna go get him." Seeing her hesitate he yelled again, "Put your foot on the gas!"

Realizing he was serious, she started to scoot over to the drivers side. "Okay!" The switch off was a little unsteady causing Brian to yell at her to do what she could to keep it steady. "I got it!"

"Get me a little closer! He's having a hard time holding on!"

Inching her way closer to the semi. Mia was doing everything she could to not panic. As soon as the car was close enough Brian jumped over to the truck.

Using all his strength he pulled Vince up to get enough slack on the wire to get his arm loose. Brian could tell he'd lost a lot of blood at that point because he was basically a rag doll.

"You got to hang in here with me now! Vince, look at me! Don't let go!" Finally getting Vince free of the wire and harness Brian grabbed him around the middle and yelled for Mia to get closer. With what little strength he had left Vince leapt into the car settling into the passenger seat. Brian looked up just in time to see the truck driver level a shotgun at his head. Without thinking he leapt onto the back of the car as a shot rang out and barely held on as Mia swerved and came to a stop of the gravel. He jumped off as soon as the car stopped and ran to the passenger side. They needed to stop the bleeding if Vince was going to have any kind of chance.

Dom was the one to notice the Supra off on the side of the road.

"There. Pull over."

The car came to a skidded halt and both men jumped out. Dom turned back folding the seat forward. Putting his hand on Sara he lightly stroked her cheek, smearing the blood as he did so.

Sara had a headache from hell. The shitty thing about head wounds? They bled like a mother. She knew Dom was worried about the amount of blood running down her face. Grabbing the hand on her cheek she tells him, "I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Moving forward she continued on. "Let me out. I wanna help."

Dom grabbed her hand helping her out of the car. Still holding onto her he took off to where Brian and Mia had Vince on the ground.

Getting closer Sara could hear Brian yelling for Vince to hang on. Dom ran up to Vince's side, putting pressure on the bullet wound, while Sara went around to help Brian tighten the tourniquet he'd made out of Mia's belt. Brian knew Vince was loosing too much blood, glancing at Sara he knew she had come to the same realization. Making a decision he looked over at Dom and told him, "If he doesn't get to an ambulance in 10 minutes, he's dead." Handing Sara the loose end of the belt while he reached for his cell phone.

"Hold the pressure. Hold his arm up."

Sara nodded. "I got it."

Dialing 911 Brian brought his phone up looking straight at Dom. "Yeah, this is Officer Brian O'Conner. I'm off-duty MAPD. I need a life flight roll out right away."

Dom met Brian's eyes. What the hell. Brian was a cop? Brian was a cop! Brian had lied to him, his family, everyone! His eyes shifted to Sara. She didn't look surprised to hear that. Was she in on it? Was Sara a cop too? Was everything a lie? He focused back on Brian after hearing him give a location and description of Vince.

"He's got a deep laceration to his right arm with arterial bleeding. And he's got a shotgun wound close range to his left flank."

Sara could barely look at Dom. The look of utter betrayal too much for her to handle. She instead focused on Vince. His breathing had turned shallow and he was starting to shake. She yelled out, "He's going into shock! Dom, hold him still." She finally looked Dom in the eye. Silently trying to ask for a chance to explain. It was a minor shift, but she knew she saw his eyes soften a bit. He'd give her a chance, of that she was sure.

Less than 5 minutes later the Life-flight helicopter came into view. Medics swarmed around Vince and when he was secured onto the gurney Sara headed back to the car, Dom right behind her. As Sara jumped into the backseat of the car Dom turned and saw Mia still standing in the field watching Brian help load Vince onto the chopper. He yelled for Mia to hurry up and for a brief moment Sara was sure she was going to stay behind, but in the end family won and Mia dove into the backseat in between Sara and Letty.

As the car took off Sara leaned forward to whisper in Dom's ear. "I swear to you I will explain everything as soon as we get back."

Authors Area:

So I've decided to split this last part into two chapters. It was either one really REALLY loooong chapter or two smaller ones. I figured, what the hey! I'm sure my readers would love to have the end delayed as much as possible.

This 'chapter' and the next were both fun and frustrating to write. I only hope that I did the sequence justice, since this is one of the most exciting and dramatic moments in the movie.

I'll post the last chapter tomorrow. It's all written down, I just have to proof read it. It's almost over people! Do you realize that!? Hmm...maybe I'll wait a couple of days instead...build up the suspense...

All Reviews read and loved!

Until Next Chapter,
