I walked out of the room a half an hour later feeling less torn then I had a week ago. Leon was back, and my family was back too.. all except for one. Just thinking about Jesse lying in some hospital room alone stung me. Despite everything we'd been through I still held a special place in my heart for him. You had to love Jesse, the boy just begged to be loved.
"I'm out," I said leaving the extra hour early to see what my friend had in mind.
"What you got for me man?" I asked leaning against the door frame sun glasses perched low on my face.
"Well what you need?"
" A plan... a good plan."
"Well its like this."
I listened intently as he mapped out a scheme for me to pull off. He thought Jesse was still being watched, just not publicly given information. It sounded like it could work, but I knew I'd have to go alone. Hell everyone else was wanted. except... Mia, and L I said aloud.
"Wha?"
" I know the perfect people for this , thanks man," I said heading out.
:Oh God,: I thought snorting as I stepped into my Honda.
:We're about to do this Charlies' Angel's style:
Shaking my head I revved my eningine, and went to pick up my ninos.

Feeling restless I decided to go to the garage. I was sick of being stuck in the house with two couples, and a sullen Mia. I wanted to ask her if she missed Brain, but I knew she would only deny. It had to kill her, being in love with the man who had almost gotten us all killed. I shook my head as I envisioned the day he tried to come back , because I knew he would. I didn't believe for one moment he was leaving Mia alone for good.
Snagging the keys to the Honda off the kitchen table I crept out the back. It felt good to behind the wheel again, and eerie at the same time. I knew it would take awhile before I could drive without thinking about that day, and maybe I always would. I smiled as I watched Lad show ou kids which tools were which. She was gonna have them running the shop by the time they were in their teens . Lad I smiled as the kids watched me work. "And what is this ?" I asked holding up my tool. "A Wench," They said unable to use the correct ponnounciation. "Close enough," I said smiling. "Hay! Ninos. You leave your mami alone, and come play ," said Lissa making me smile. She was the closest thing I had to a friend down here.

I looked at my sister catching her gaze over the table. I could tell by the way her eyes gleamed she was dying to tell me something. I laughed as she practically jumped form the table to clear the dishes leaving the kids with the guys.
"Ok I got it," she said the second we were all alone.
"What?" I asked weary, not sure I wanted to hear after all.
"I have a plan, not not just any plan, a plan to end all plans. "
"Are you crazy?" Mia asked panicking.
"No listen to her," I said causing Mia to be quiet. I knew my sister, and after she'd had the twins, she'd had to do some,... shady things to pay the bills. If she said she had a plan , it was a damn good one.
"Well , its more than just for Jesse, its to get Brian here too," she said looking over at Mia cautiously.
"I never want to see that man again," Mia said angrily scrubbing the plates.
"Listen to me chicita, " she said walking over to her. " Right now, you're angry, and hurt as hell, but don't let that keep you from the man you love, trust me, I know."
Mia was silent to for a while, and sensing that she'd gotten through Ladie continued.
"So its like this," She said mapping out the scheme, so simple it might actually work.

My nerves were stretched tight as the week eeked by. We had all planned on waiting two weeks before we set out to L.A., and I still hadn't' told the guys. I guess I didn't' want to have to listen to their mouths. V was improving quickly, and I was pleased with the way his arm was healing. I had been worried at first, although it was never spoken aloud we all knew how close he'd come to losing it all together.
Mia was less sullen, and though everyone thought she was getting over Brian, I knew she was anticipating the reunion. Le, and I were, hell I didn't know what we were. It was like he was dating me all over again. Getting to know me all over again,
