A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back! Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I've just been busy and had no inspiration. I'm hoping to be updating my stories a lot more.

Vince and Kaliah listened to music the whole way back. Originally Vince had told her that no one touched his radio but him, but Kaliah had used the puppy dog pout and he had finally given in. He told her that if she told anyone that she would be in for it. He couldn't let anything ruin his reputation he joked with her. Vince sighed almost imperceptibly as they reach the Fort. Kaliah looked over at him with a questioning look.

"What?" He asked indignantly as he caught her look

"Why are you sighing?" She tilted her head slightly to the side as she questioned him

"Because I don't think that the guys wanted to tell you about the whole situation with Tran right now. They wanted to wait until you were settled in more." Vince replied as he turned into Echo park.

Kaliah bit her lip, "If you don't want to ask them about it right now you don't have to. I mean I've been learning the virtue of patience while I've been here surprisingly, and it's fine."

"No you deserve to know, and I want you to get the facts about it before anybody tries to tell you something else." He said as he turned into the drive and turned off the Maxima.

The two walked into the house. Vince went in to the kitchen to talk to Brian and Dom about telling Kaliah and Kaliah went upstairs to get started on her homework and to change into a different outfit. She wanted to give the guys some privacy to discuss the situation. Jesse came up to her room and smiled at her.

"Hey girly, how was school today?"

Kaliah shrugged smiling, "Nick beat up the guy that was calling me a whore."

"So you found out who started that rumor? Why did he do that?" Jesse asked jumping on her bed next to her.

"Yeah we did. Apparently he was pissed that I turned him down and he was trying to get in good with the Trans." Kaliah replied.

Jesse's face paled slightly at the mention of Tran. He still had nightmares sometimes about the shooting. He had a feeling that they would never go away. He tilted his head curiously, "What do you know about the situation?"

"Just that Bri shot one of them and that they hate our team. Other than that nothing else. But Vince is talking to Dom and Bri right now about telling me the whole story."

Jesse nodded and they heard Dom calling Kaliah down. They both jogged down the stairs and sat in the kitchen with the guys.

"What's up Dom?" Kaliah asked, already having a feeling of what was going on.

"Vince told me what happened at school today. He asked how we felt about telling you the whole story now. We had wanted to wait until you were settled in more, but since it's already been brought up we felt you have the right to know what happened."

Kaliah nodded and didn't say anything. Dom sighed slightly and continued on with the story. "No interruptions please." He looked pointedly at her and she nodded once again. "Alright so about two years back we were in serious danger of losing the house, garage, and store. We made money racing and from the store and garage, but it just wasn't enough to pay all of the bills. We couldn't think of any way to help us pay for everything. One day Vince and I were watching some movie and they were hijacking semis. We got the bright idea to do the same. We did like 6 or 7 jobs before your brother came along. Brian Earl Spilner he said his name was. Jesse did a background check everything came up clean, well as clean as a guy can be with a juvie record. The first day we met he had gotten in a fight with Vince. Then low and behold he shows up at the races, wanting to take on the champ." Dom chuckled. "Long story short, he lost his car to me then saved me from the cops. Then the car got blown up by Johnny and Lance Tran. Brian started hanging around on a regular basis and working for me. Right from the start he had been interested in Mia, everyone could see it. Everyone could see that she was interested in him too. After a month or so it was time for race wars and our next job. We didn't know the Spilner was actually and undercover cop." Vince snorted at this. "Well none of us except for Vince. He spotted it right away. Anyways the day that the job was going down on Jesse raced Johnny for slips and Johnny won. Jesse took off in his dad's Jetta and we got into a fight with Johnny. That night we went on the heist without Jesse. I thought it would be fine even though everyone tried to tell me something bad was going to happen. They were right. Brian had convinced Mia to help him find us. It was a good thing too. If it wasn't for him Jesse and Vince would both be dead and it would be all my fault. Brian pulled Vince off the semi and got him medical help. Then he showed up at the house to try and talk me down from going after Tran and finding Jesse. I didn't need to go find Jess because he showed up and then the Trans did a drive by and those stupid crotch rockets. Brian and I took off after them while Mia helped save Jesse's life. Brian ended up shooting Johnny and I ran Lance off the road. I took off and Brian followed me. We raced and I flipped the Charger. We could hear the sirens getting closer so Brian gave me the keys to his car saying, 'I owe you a ten second car.' So I left and the team and I took off to Mexico to wait for everything to die down. Once it did we came back."

Kaliah just sat there for a minute trying to process the whole story. It was a lot to take in at one time. The guys all had worried looks on their faces about how she was taking their story. After a minute she looked around at all of them. "Why are you looking so worried? I don't blame you for any of it. You did what you thought was the right thing for your family." She told them with a smile. They all smiled in relief.

"Glad you aren't upset with us babygirl." Dom said.

She shook her head with an even bigger smile, "Nope I could never be upset with you guys for trying to save your family. Now what are we doing tonight?"

The guys all laughed.
