They had put Roman, Dean, Seth, Corey, and Elias in their own cell. Roman stood and got closer to the bars.
"Hey, I need to call my wife. She's seven months pregnant. Please", Roman called out.
The same undercover cop who arrested them, walked over.
"Sorry guys, we just didn't want the other men to see you. We've been after Shane McMahon for awhile.", he said.
He opened the door and let them out. Walking them to an office.
"I'm special agent Angel Garza and my partner Humberto Carrillo.", he introduced.
"Dean Ambrose?", Humberto asked.
Dean raised his hand.
"Your wife called the station and they informed us over our walkies that you had proof and were innocent", he said.
"She's actually my girlfriend", Dean corrected.
Humberto nodded.
"How long have you been looking into Shane?", Roman asked.
"A few years actually. Never could get any proof. We got in being invited by one of his clients who we did have proof on. Shortened his time if he gave us Shane", Angel said.
They guys nodded.
"Did you get the little girls out?", Corey asked.
"We did. They had about ten of them. Safe and getting looked over as we speak", Angel replied.
"Now how did they get these little girls? Probably human trafficking. This gets us one step closer to the men who took them, because Shane will talk", Humberto said.
"Is there anything else you need from us? I really need to get home to my wife and kids", Roman asked.
"Just if it came down to it, will you testify against Shane McMahon?", Angel asked.
"Of course", each guy agreed.
They took down their names and numbers.
"Can I ask a quick question?", Roman asked as they stood to leave.
Angel nodded.
"I work for the McMahons. I'm one of their architects...", he said.
"Oh don't worry, this doesn't go past Shane. I'm sure his dad is going to give him hell. Trust me, when we called and told him, he flipped his top.", Angel replied.
"Just want to be sure, because if it does go to the top, so I can quit. I don't want to work for people like that", Roman said.
Angel nodded.
Brie handed Diana her and Roman's letters.
"What do you think they say?", Diana asked.
"I wish I knew, but it probably has to do with these hospital visits", Brie said.
"Open them", Diana said.
Brie nodded and opened the hospital letters. She read them out loud. Shocking both women.
"He had a brain tumor", Brie said softly.
The letters were sent by his doctor, telling him about the treatments and what he could expect. Then the next ones were setting up dates for his chemo and radiation treatments.
What to expect after treatments are done.
"He wasn't going out of town for parts. His first appointment was on the day he died. Why didn't he tell us? Tell me?", Brie said.
Diana lifted her and Roman's letters.
"Maybe that's what these are for", Diana said.
Brie looked at hers and nodded.
"I'm scared to open it", she whispered.
Diana wiped her cheek.
"Me too", she replied.
"Mom, can we go home now? I'm tired", Noah said.
Diana nodded and stood.
Once they got home, they dropped off Dean with Brie. She was sitting on her front porch with a glass of wine.
"Hold on guys", she shouted.
She handed Seth his letter.
"This one is for you", she said.
Seth looked at it, recognizing the handwriting. He nodded.
"Thanks", he replied.
Brie and Dean made their way back to the porch and they sat.
"What are you doing sitting out here this late?", he asked, taking her glass of wine and drinking some.
She shrugged and handed him his letter. He took it.
"Apparently Victor had a brain tumor. He didn't happen to tell you did he?", she asked.
"What? Of course he didn't. Why didn't he say anything?", Dean asked.
She shrugged again.
"How did you find out?", he asked, twirling the letter.
"I accidentally dropped a box and they fell out, including these letters. He wrote one to all of us, even his parents", she said.
"Did you read yours?", he asked, his eyes still on the letter.
"No. I'm kind of afraid too. I was hoping my boyfriend would sit with me and we would read mine and his together", she said.
Dean finally looked at her and nodded.
"Who should go first?", he asked.
"I will", she replied.
He nodded and watched her open it. She unfolded the paper with shaky hands.
Licking her lips.
Brie,
Please forgive me for telling you this way, but I have cancer, a brain tumor to be exact. You and the kids were just so happy, I didn't want to bring anyone down. Not till I know more.
In a few days I will be going for my first treatment. I don't know what happens or if I'll be in pain. My doctor assures me I won't, but I would rather see how things go down before I bring you.
I also want us to figure out how we tell the kids together. You are way better with coming up with a plan.
I love you, Brianna, more than you will ever know. The kids are my world and if anything happens to me during this time, I want you to remind them of that every day.
That goes for you too my love. Move on, be happy, laugh again. Make another man feel the way that I do when you look at me.
I have someone in mind, but you might think me weird for it. Dean. Now I know, you are probably thinking I could never, but I've seen the way he looks at you.
He could be good to you and I wouldn't trust anyone else with your happiness more than Dean.
Give him a chance, trust me. Show him the love he deserves, the love he never got from his so called parents. Give him the family he deserves. I don't mind sharing mine with him.
I love you baby, from the moment I laid my eyes on you.
Love, Victor
Dean swallowed and looked at his, having a feeling it had a lot to do with Brie.
"He knew", Dean mumbled.
Brie looked at him. He chuckled.
"I tried to hide it, my feelings, but he knew. He always knew", Dean said.
"But he was right. You are good to me, I made my decision based on my feelings for you and the way you treat me. In some crazy way this is him telling us he is okay with this", Brie said, gesturing between them.
Dean nodded.
"Should I?", he asked, lifting his.
"Please", she said.
He nodded again and opened it.
Dean
My best bud, my brother, I wish there was an easier way to tell you and the guys this, but I have a brain tumor.
Doctor says we caught it on time, and I should start my treatments soon. Crazy, right. I'm scared, Dean. Not just for me, but my family, you included.
Speaking of family, I know its a lot to ask, but if anything happens to me, please take care of my family as if it was your own. I know I can count on you.
Love my kids, but most importantly, love my wife. Yes, Dean, I know. I trust you, more than you will ever know. Don't let me or anyone else get in your way.
Be happy Dean, because you deserve it more than anyone. I wish I knew back then, I would have moved aside and pushed you on Brie. I never wanted to do what Seth did to Roman, I didn't want to be a shitty friend. Forgive me?
I'm sorry and I hope you forgive me one day.
Thank you for all the years of friendship, they meant so much to me. I'm glad I had friends that were more like brothers.
I will forever be grateful to you for it.
Also, if Roman hasn't made a damn move yet. Kick his ass into gear for me will you.
Vic
Dean chuckled. Brie leaned over and kissed him. She pulled away just a bit and looked into his blue eyes.
"Marry me, Dean Ambrose?", she whispered.
He swallowed and then smiled, nodding his head.
"Yes", he replied.
Diana
Baby sis, I know this isn't something you ever wanted to hear from someone you love, but I have a brain tumor. Now, I know, this isn't the best way to tell you.
It was just easier writing it in a few letters than saying it out loud. Heck, I don't even believe it still. I'm scared D, so fucking scared. Don't tell Brie though, I don't need her worrying more than she already is.
I know you will be there for my family if anything happens to me. Have I told you I have the best sister in the world. I love you, and I am so glad I never wished for a baby brother, because a sister was so much better.
Speaking of brothers. Roman. I hope you've come to realize how much he loves you, truthfully he's always loved you. If it wasn't for Seth, I'm sure Roman would have made his move. Give him a chance if you haven't already, sis.
You won't regret it, trust me. Take care of mom and dad, they aren't getting any younger you know.
Love you, Victor
Diana wiped her cheeks as Roman rubbed her back. Roman opened his.
Rome
My brother, I wish there was an easier way of breaking this to you. Here it goes, I have a brain tumor.
Yes you read that right. I'm about to ask, what I've always asked of you. Take care of my sister and nephew, they'll need you if this goes down badly.
I'm hoping it doesn't, but you never know. You have always been her strength in tough times and I admire that about you. I admire a lot of things about you. So no need to be jealous of Seth, because in the end, you got the best prize of all. Noah.
I always hoped that when I had kids, that they would look at me the way Noah looked up to you. You are his very own superhero, now that's cool. You are an amazing dad, don't ever doubt that.
I'm also hoping that you tell my sister how you feel before I'm gone. You two deserve each other, you and I know she never belonged with Seth.
If by chance I am no longer here to see it happen, I hope you marry her and love her for the rest of your life. Make the move before I haunt your ass.
Have more kids, continue to live your lives.
Thank you for being more than just my friend. I will forever be grateful to you, for so many reasons.
Your brother in law, Vic
Roman refolded the letter. He leaned over and kissed his wife's belly.
"I was thinking, what if we named her Kaia Victoria?", he asked.
Diana smiled.
"I like it", she replied.
"A little nod to her uncle Vic", Roman said, before kissing her belly again.
He sat up and kissed her.
"I love you", he whispered.
"Love you more husband", she replied.
He smiled before he laid his head by her belly.
