Description: 4 months after the heist the Toretto house has finally settled down and Brian was able to convince and negotiate with the police to let the group go as long as they did a lot of service work for the truckers without getting paid and because after what happened to all of them the cops decided to go lenient b/c they believed they had learned their lesson. However, Brian stopped working as a cop and worked more with the team who all now have sponsorships when racing so it isn't illegal. Now with a call from the hospital Dominic and Mia are finally reunited with their sister Dani who they haven't seen since their mother died 3 years before. She is 16 and the social workers decide to give custody back to Dom as long as he keeps his clean record due to the fact that Dani's foster parents were found abusing her. She's okay, but is has been a while since she had been in the Toretto household and things have definately changed. The team still races, and the Charger has been fixed, but Dani is all grown up now and it is going to take some time for Toretto to get used to the fact that Dani isn' t a child anymore. Especiallly since she can drive and has the urge to follow the Toretto family tradition of racing.

Chapter 1

"The Toretto House"

The team was all sitting at the table eating, Letty, Leon, Mia, Dom, Brian, Vince, and Jesse. The normal talking and chatting was going on when the phone rang.

"Yeah?" Dom answered it walking into the livingroom.

"Are you Mr. Dominic Toretto?" A female voice on the other line asked.

"Yes," he answered

"This is Ms. Cauffman. I need you to come down to Memorial Hospital. Dani has had an accident and I think you and Mia need to get down here now." The woman said.

"Is it bad?" Dom didn't want to alarm anyone so he used small descriptions.

"You just need to get here."

"Alright be there in a bit." Dom hung up the phone and walked back in the kitchen. He kept his cool as he promised he would start doing in situations when he wanted to strangle someone.

"Who was that Dom?" Mia asked still laughing at something Brian said.

"It's Dani. She's been hurt in some sort of accident shes in the hospital." Dominic said grabbing his keys. He didn't need to ask, everyone dropped what they were doing and loaded in the cars.

"The Hospital"

Dani Mercell Toretto layed looking up at the ceiling squincing from waking up from what seemed like a 3 day nap. Why was she in the hospital? The Cohan's certainly weren't the ones who brought her here. They were her foster parents and they were the reason for her being here. Their son had just died a year before and they decided to try to take on a foster child. Well Dani wasn't everything they hoped for and they definately weren't what she wanted after being shoved through 3 foster homes in the last 7 years.



Joseph Cohan was a big wig outside of L.A. and running for governor and Lorene was a money grubbing housewife who wanted everything to be perfect in every way. So when their alcoholic son was killed while drunk driving, they decided to take her in for a publicity stunt. Joseph was an alcoholic himself and Lorene was just as evil without the alcohol. Dani was no angel to them. She was a girl who always got into trouble, not bad trouble but like fights at school, some average C grades and it was not up to par with the Cohan's name. She was making them look bad, so for the last 3 months Dani had turned into what was once a sassy, smart smouth kid, into reserved and scared of everything that moved. Just because it would make her think that Joseph was near her.

What she didn't know was that a nosey neighbor had called on them and when the police saw the battered, unconcious Dani at the bottom of the stairs they arrested Joe immediately. Next thing Dani knew she was in the hospital and scared out of her wits of what was going on. She jumped when she heard a knock on the door to her hospital room.

To her relief Ms. Cauffman of social service was the one who walked in instead of the Cohans'. "Well look who is up, how you feeling sweetie?" The short thick African/American woman asked.

"I feel like shit," She said and then looked over at Ms. Cauffman who looked stern. "Sorry, I feel like I have been hit by a truck, better." She tried to give a smile but it hurt her bruised cheek too much.

"Better," the woman smiled. "The doctor said you are lucky and nothing is broken. They will keep you overnight for observation, but you can go home tomorrow."

"What home? Where am I going? Because I'll be damned if I go back and live with the Cohans' you didn't listen to me 3 months ago when I told you I had a bad feeling about this but, no, oh no, I had to go no matter what. And now what? You want me to go back with them I don't think so. You can kiss my Italian smooth a----" She was interrupted by Ms. Cauffman

"Dani! Listen to me young lady," She raised her voice. "You aren't going back with them. They are arressted. You don't have to worry about them any longer. And you will be happy to know I found you a new home."

"No offense, but your homes suck." Dani answered.

"Oh so you don't want to go and live with your brother and sister again, ahh I see. Because I don't know how their going to react when I tell them you don't want to go." She smiled

"I get to go back and live with them?" She smiled. "You're joking, are you just trying to put me in a good mood or are you being serious?"

"I'm being serious. We checked them out and they are clear on records and you get to try living with them for a while." She smiled as she was grabbed by Dani and hugged furiously. "But your grades have to come up, there will be no drinking, you have to do what your brother says and he has to prove himself as a parent as well. This is a trial basis Dani. Don't screw it up ok." Ms. Cauffman winked and walked out the door.

Nothing could ruin Dani's day now. She was getting to see her brother and sister and the gang after 3 years and infact get to go and live with them again. Nothing could be wrong.

"Brian and Mia on the way to the hospital"

Brian didn't say a word. He was totally lost. Who was Dani? He had never heard of the person before. He looked at Mia. She almost had tears in her eyes. He had to say something.

"Mia?" He grabbed her hand. All she could do was look over at him and without her sayin a word Brian continued. "Who is Dani?"

"Oh Brian. I'm sorry, I totally forgot to tell you, but I'm surprised you never read it in your file." Mia was being sarcastic, but she was always that way when she was upset.

"Mia?" Brian whispered.

"Brian, Dani is me and Dom's sister."
