A/N
This is another long chapter… YAY! Its different from what you might expect but I really like it so let me know if you do too
One month later…
Things had settled down since I have been in town more now. I had picked up the regular schedule and no more drama really occurred, well except that nice Jake kid took a fist to the face by Dom for hanging around too much. Dom was definitely the jealous type even though he denied it. I had been racing my Skyline and won about as much as I lost. Pre races were and automatic win now but I still had trouble in the main event. I raced everyone in the team by now too and beat Mia and Jesse, I came close to beating Vince but he won and refuses to race me again because now I'm better and would probably win.
Rome, Dom and Brian still smoked me but I'm slowly getting close to gaining on Rome. The guys would race me whenever we had free time. I was considered to be the best female racer on the streets these days but it wasn't difficult racing isn't really a female heavy thing. I even helped the guys with pain jobs now; I was slowly getting better at everything around here.
"Hey babe," I said feeling a tap on my shoulder. It was around 3 and hot as hell in the garage I was working on a custom paint job when Dom interrupted me.
"Break time," he said pulling me off the ground. I leaned my head on his chest because I was just tired and it had been a long day of paint fumes. I moaned and refused to move. "Come on, my treat." I looked up at him and rolled my eyes dramatically.
"When is it ever not your treat?" I questioned. He kissed me and began dragging me towards the door. "Dom you are ruining my shoes," I said annoyed.
"Stop wearing stripper heels and we wouldn't have this problem," he laughed.
"Hey I may live in Miami now but I will not now nor ever give up my stilettos," I complied. He still refused to stop. "Dom seriously I'm tired and not even hungry," I said putting my foot down. He stopped dragging me and frowned.
"Why is everything about you?"
"OMG are you really playing that card, fine at least let me grab a clean shirt," I said frowning. He pulled me in tightly and kissed me.
"You look fine, now let's go," he said sweeping me off my feet and carrying me out. I laughed until we had made it out of the garage completely. Rome and Vince were on their knees with a gun to their heads. Raster was over Vince and Trav over Rome. Dom froze when Rez and Cami suddenly had guns in our faces.
"Drop her," Rez said with an evil smirk. Dom flexed his arms around me and didn't move. Cami cocked her gun and stepped closer, but her gun was at me not Dom.
"It's okay," I said looking up at Dom. He glared down but slowly put me on my feet. I didn't let go of his arm though. I gripped his hand in mine and didn't plan on letting go.
"What do you want here?" Dom asked through his teeth.
"Her," Rez said pointing to me.
"That's not happening," Dom said squeezing my hand tighter.
"Where is the rest of the team?" I asked looking up at Dom. Rez rolled his eyes in impatiens.
"Out to lunch we were going to go meet them," he said not taking his eyes off Rez.
"Let's go I don't have all day," Rez said looking at me now.
I shook my head and felt tears beginning to swell. "I don't want to go," I whispered to Dom. He frowned slightly and I knew there was no other way.
"I will get you back," he promised.
"Wouldn't count on that," Cami snickered. I wanted to walk over and punch her in the face, but realized I couldn't really pull that off.
"NOW!" Rez said raising his voice, I couldn't help but jump.
"If I go with you then you have to promise not to shoot anyone," I said seeing revenge in all of their eyes.
"It doesn't work like that," Rez said with a vicious smiled now.
"Please just take it out on me, Rez please don't do this," I begged.
"You have ten seconds to get over here or I will kill all your friends," he said steamed now. I believed him because it was something he would do without a second thought. I turned and looked at Dom. He was so pissed. I waited until he looked down at me; I kissed him until I heard Rez cock his gun. Tears began streaming down my face. I pulled my hand free from Dom's and took the three steps over to Rez's side. Fenix came out of nowhere and grabbed my arm.
"No wait," I said trying to fight his force full pull. I managed to grab Rez's free hand. It still had a cast on from where Dom had shot him. Rez looked at me with daggers. "Please," I said walking over to his side since Fenix let go. I wrapped my arm around his arm and tried to get him to walk with me. Fenix pulled his gun and pointed it at Dom and Rez put his in his pocket.
Rez smiled at me and I didn't understand what he was thinking. "If you kiss me as passionately as you have kissed this meat head then I will leave your loser one and loser two unharmed," he promised pointing over to Vince and Rome. I knew I couldn't save Dom from a gunshot but if I could stop the guys from being hurt then I would. I looked over at Dom but he didn't make a notion whether I should or not.
"Don't touch that fag," Vince yelled. Raster whipped lashed him and I couldn't help the extra tears now.
"Yea fine alright just stop!" I screamed looking at Raster who was going to hit him again.
I kissed Rez like I would kiss Dom; he wrapped his hands around me and squeezed my ass. If felt so wrong and so dirty I wanted to vomit. I tried to resist it but knew I couldn't pull away, after about a full minute I had to push him back. He laughed and released me.
"I see things haven't changed much, glad you haven't lost your touch," Rez said pushing me in Fenix's direction. Fenix wrapped his arm around me and pulled me towards a black Corvette, there were three parked next to each other. I heard the gun go off and couldn't help but let out a small scream, Fenix shielded me so I couldn't see the mess. He threw me in the car and got in the driver's seat and speed off; I couldn't help but start balling. After a moment Fenix put his hand on my leg.
"He didn't like kill him right?" I asked looking up at Fenix.
"No, he was just going to shoot his hand. Fair is fair," he said squeezing my leg. Fenix was actually really chill when we were alone and I was hurting.
"I don't want to go back," I said looking over to him.
"I can't help you there, I tried to get Rez to lay off you but he has been hell bent on getting you back ever since you left," he replied. I rolled my eyes and whipped away the rest of the tears.
"So he wants to keep me around?" I asked.
"Yea, but don't get too excited he plans on really letting you have it. That means more than two hits this time, but none to the face so you are safe."
I felt my stomach drop. Rez would never hit a pretty girl in the face unless he planned on permanently never seeing them again. He wouldn't bruise the main thing he liked about them. "You know I won't stay right?" I said after a long silence.
"You're not going to have that option," Fenix said. He seemed to feel sorry for me but I knew he wouldn't let me off. He wasn't like Trav.
"Rez won't be able to keep eyes on me forever, and the second I can I'm heading back to Dom," I informed him. I felt the hand on my leg stiffen. He didn't respond just continued to where ever we were headed. We didn't talk for the next hour but he never moved his hand from my leg, and I was happy it was his way of comforting me. It was quickly approaching 7pm and it was clear we were heading straight to New York. It had me worried it would be hard for the guys to get me out of New York without someone being hurt. I couldn't believe what I saw in the rearview mirror, they were flashing lights. Fenix looked at me with daggers,
"Don't do anything stupid," he warned. He pulled over and I knew it was because he was speeding. The officer made a slow approach to the window. I was thinking of what I was going to do.
"License and registration," he said. Fenix handed him the papers and he walked back to his car. I could feel the tension between us as we waited in silence. The officer walked back and handing Fenix back his papers.
"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" he asked. Fenix looked annoyed.
"Faster than the speed limit I would assume," he said arrogantly. I'm not going to lie but I was scared to say something, but this might be my only way out of this mess. I started breathing fast and heavy like I was nervous, I knew I already looked a mess from all the crying and my makeup was still smeared. The officer looked at me and before speaking.
"Are you alright Miss?" he asked. Fenix turned to me and I thought he was going to pull out a knife and stab me.
"She is fine, just nervous around cops," Fenix answered before I could.
"Do you have a reason to be nervous?" he asked me looking at us suspiciously now. It was silent for along moment. "Miss please step out of the car," he said walking over to my car door. I exited and began fidgeting awkwardly. "Have you been drinking tonight?" he asked flashing a light in my face. I rubbed my eyes because of the sudden light but also trying to get them to be red, it wasn't hard. He looked at me again and expected a response.
"No, I have had no alcohol," I said in a raspy voice.
"Sit on the curb here," he said pointing. I collapsed on the ground and he looked at me judgmentally for a moment before telling Fenix to get out of the car. He talked with him for a long moment, checked his eyes and walked back over to me while Fenix remained next to his car.
"I believe you to be under the influence of illegal substances so you will be placed under arrest," he said pulling me off the arm and putting the cuffs on me behind my back. "Your boyfriend will be following us to the station and you will be released on bail early tomorrow morning," he said being polite now. It made me wonder what Fenix had said to him. Then he read me my rights and walked me over to his cruiser.
"Don't worry I will be seeing you soon," Fenix said as we walked past him. I felt a chill go up my spine. The officer placed me in the back seat and pulled off the side of the rode headed in the opposite direction we had been heading.
"Officer I'm not high," I said in my regular voice now. He looked at me doubtfully.
"Tell the judge," he said as though he could care less.
"Look I know I won't be able to convince you but that guy is not my boyfriend. He's an… Ex and I live in Miami and he was trying to take me back to New York. My brother who used to be a Fed and my real boyfriend are there. You cannot let me out without them being there," I tried to explain. He looked like he wanted to believe me but had reservations.
"What is your brother's name?" he asked after taking a moment to think.
"Brian James O'Conner," he looked at me stunned through the rearview mirror.
"The agent who got mixed up with the Torreto gang?" he asked trying to smooth out his features.
"They are not a gang there a team but yes," I confirmed.
"Why would they let you leave if you are his sister?" he asked pulling up to the station. I waited until he pulled me out of the back seat to answer.
"Well Fenix has his own team and they came prepared," I answered. I saw Fenix's car and became silent as he followed a few paces behind us. The officer took notice and walked me in silence. I started the process and Fenix was with me until I was done being printed, photographed and had blood drawn to see if I was actually high. Then I went to a waiting cell, where Fenix wasn't allowed to be in for more than a few minutes.
"I don't know what you think you are doing but it won't work," Fenix said through the bars. The officer he had arrested me was watching closely.
"I didn't do that on purpose, I just got nervous and he collared me. My blood will come back clean in a few hours and he will have to let me go. Dom won't even have enough time to get down here," I said rolling my eyes. Fenix examined me for a minute and realized I was right, I doubt he believed I did it on accident though.
"Rez and the team is at a dinner about 10 minutes away we will be waiting for you when you are released and now that you gave them time to catch up Rez will be driving you the rest of the way," he said trying to scare me.
"Go to hell," I said walking away from the bars.
"Times up," the officer said walking over to Fenix. He took a moment to reign in his anger before following the officer out. When he walked back in I knew this was my chance,
"Please can I use my phone call I need to get a hold of Brian or Dom," I said grabbing onto the bars. He nodded and walked me to the phone after opening the door. I dialed Brian's number and he answered on the second ring.
"Yea," he answered.
"Bri it's me," I said suddenly feeling rushed. The officer was listening to my conversation but I didn't mind I was hoping if he heard me then he would believe me more.
"Kaz are you alright? What are you doing in jail?" he asked.
"Fenix got pulled over for speeding so I pretended to be high so the officer arrested me. You have to get down here. My blood work will come back clean in like two hours at the latest you have to get down here. Rez and everyone is just waiting for me to be released," I said suddenly feeling tears, this was my one chance to get back with them and I wanted it badly.
"You're too far away for us to get down there that quickly, you have to stay in jail," he said and I heard him rustling around. I imagined he was getting the guys and getting in the cars.
"They are not just going to let me sit in the cell when I'm clean, plus Rez knows how the system works he will be down here hounding them to release me," I said looking at the officer who looked at me indifferently.
"You have to do something to make sure they don't release you," he said urgently.
"Like what?" I asked desperately.
"You're going to have to hit one of the cops in there so you will be arrested for assault," he said after letting out a long breath.
"Bri that will get me booked and added to my record I can't get another hit on that. My rap sheet is long enough and that's a serious offence. I could get time for that," I said worried that, that would be my only option. The officer tapped his watch. "Look I have to go, is Dom right there?" I asked feeling more tears.
"Hey girl," he said in a strong voice.
"Dom please come get me," I begged.
"I will, don't worry. Nothing is going to come between us," he assured me.
"Is your hand okay? Did the gunshot ruin it? Please tell me you went to a doctor," I said trying to rush because I knew I had little time.
"I got it taken care of, just worry about yourself," he said with a chuckle.
"I have to go, but I love Dom," I said my voice shaking.
"Kaz you're the only thing that matters now, believe me I will get you back," as he said and I heard the engine rev.
"Bye," I whispered and hung up the phone in what felt like slow motion. The officer walked me back to the cell and when he locked me in again he hesitated.
"What did they tell you to do to get arrested?" he asked in a heavy voice.
"They told me to hit one of the officers in here," I said regaining my composure.
"You must really not want to go with these guys waiting down here for you if you are going to add that to your record," he said pulling up a chair next to my cell. It was a slow night obviously and he seemed interested by me.
"If they get me back to New York with them, it will be almost impossible to leave again," I said in a heavy tone.
"Why couldn't you just leave?" he asked.
"You don't know much about the racing world do you?" I asked. He shook his head and I almost smiled.
"You could press charges if they are abusing you," he offered.
"Doesn't work like that, plus I couldn't get anything to stick on all of them," I sighed.
"You're willing to go to jail to get away from them?" he asked.
"Guess we will find out," I said leaning my head against the wall. He nodded and walked back to his desk. Within an hour my test came back clean and I wanted to die. Even if he guys were driving 100mph I knew that I couldn't stall long enough.
"Looks like you are free to go," the officer said unlocking the door and letting me out.
"Awesome you have been so helpful," I replied sarcastically. He handed me all my personal items and I pulled out my cell phone as fast as I could. I found a bench and dialed Brian.
"Kaz you're out already?" he answered.
"Yea how far are you?" I asked.
"Still over an hour, I'm driving as fast as I can Dom's leading the way. Were driving close to 100mph on open rode's but there is random traffic and I just can't get there any faster," I said in a rushed tone.
"Yea I know I know, I will chill in here while I can but you know Rez will be checking in soon and then I'm screwed," I sighed.
"I know, look you have to get creative, I have to go I'm driving too fast to be talking. Love you sis take care of yourself for just a little longer," he pleaded.
I couldn't help but laugh slightly. I have been on my own for so long and now I found myself depending on my brother and Dom more than anyone ever. "Okay I will, love you too big bro," I clicked the off button and felt tears. After a few minutes the officer walked over to me and looked at me hesitantly.
"What?" I asked rudely. He leaned down and grabbed the collar of my shirt and ripped it right down the middle. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked trying to cover myself.
"You are under arrest for public indecency," he said lifting me up and walking me back over to the cell I was just in.
I was speechless for a long moment. He locked me and threw a police shirt at me through the bars. I put it on and sat on the floor. "Thank you," I said barley loud enough to hear.
"It's a slow night, I need to keep someone in here or it looks bad," he said casually. I closed my eyes and waited for Rez who I figured would be arriving soon. And wouldn't you know I was very on the dot. Rez and Fenix walked straight back to the office and stopped right in front of the officers desk who had arrested me.
"When will she be released?" Fenix asked.
"She will be spending the night her and will be transferred to the county jail tomorrow morning and then be assigned a court appearance," he replied standing up so he wasn't so overpowered.
"Are you telling me her test came back positive?" Fenix asked looking over at me. I just shrugged indifferently.
"No her blood work was clean but she was arrested on a new charge," he answered calmly.
"And what's that?" Rez asked speaking for the first time. Fenix looked right at me and I was glad I was locked in this cage cause otherwise he might have killed me.
"Public indecency and trying to bribe an officer," he said in a bolder tone.
"Bribe you with what, she has nothing," Rez said raising her tone.
"Herself," he said slightly uncomfortably. I smiled to myself and had to muffle a laugh. They both couldn't believe what the officer was saying.
"I want to talk with her," Rez said getting even angrier.
"Sorry visiting hours are over. You both need to leave if you have no further business here," he said sarcastically. They both looked steamed and I was trying not to smile. It looked like something was about to be screamed at me but they both walked out together and said nothing else. The officer walked over to me and crouched down so no one could hear.
"I see the charges being dropped in a few hours when I can safely release you into the custody of an old agent," he whispered.
"I really appreciate this, you don't even know how much this means to me," I said truly gratified. He nodded and walked back to his desk. Finally being relieved I was able to catch some shut eye in this cell.
