Chapter 1

It was a normal night like any other in Miami; people were out going to nightclubs like they did every night. Toward the south end of Miami; a small tuning garage was still opened. Inside was Brian O'Conner and Roman Pearce were doing some late night work on their own cars. It's been three years since they took that money from the Verone job that they did for customs and with it they started their own shop. Their cars, a Mistu Lancer Evolution VIII and Eclipse Spyder, still haven't been debugged yet. So, for the past couple of weeks they've been taking apart their cars and trying to get rid of those damn bugs. "Finally," Brian as he threw the damn bug across the room, he looked over to Rom. "Mine too," Rom said as he tossed his I the same direction. Now the fun part began for the two of them, putting the engine back together, but lucky for them the only needed to drop each cars engine back into the bay. After five minutes, both cars were back up and running. "Yes, I can't wait to get out on the street and get some cash to fund this thing," Rom said with hopes that Brian would follow the same suit. "Not me," Brian said like he was opposing Rom's idea. "I think I'm going to." Brian was interrupted by the sound of someone knocking at the door. It was late and everyone was either at home or out racing with Tej. "I got this cuz," Rom said as he walked toward the door. But before he had the chance to get near the doorway, Brian cut him off. "No you don't cuz, the last time you did that, we lost $2400 worth of parts. This time I got it," Brian said as blocked Rom off at the door. Rom looked at him with a pissed off look on his face but then he shook his head, "Go head, after all its you shop too." Brian then proceeded to walk out of the private garage and into the main show room.

Brian knew that he had to be careful, he heard from a friend that owned a shop on the other side of town that there had been a string of robberies going on lately. As he neared the door, he grabbed a small wrench that had been sitting in his back pocket and brought it up to his lower back. He pulled opened the shade that said told the people on the other side that the shop was closed and to his surprise, on the other side of the door was a very attractive looking girl. He unlocked the door and said, "I'm sorry miss, but were closed." The girl looked at him with her blue eyes, "I just need a couple of things, please, I'll only be a few minutes." Brian couldn't resist, "Alright but make it fast, because me and my partner have things to do." She entered the shop and the both walked up to the counter. As soon as Brian was behind the counter, she handed him a list. Brian took one good long look at the list and knew something was funny but yet familiar about it. What would a girl want with a turbo for a Nissan Skyline GT-R, 7 seventy-five shots of nos, a turbo for a Mazda RX-7, a throttle body for a Nissan Maxima, and a supercharger for a Ford Focus. He kinda felt like he knew who she was. "Well, some of these thing are going to be special order, but I can give you what we have," Brian said as he flirted with her. "That's fine, just give me what I can get now," the girl said. "Brian walked back into the storage room and got the eight things that they had on stock. He then proceeded to put them in a box for her. "Just to make it easier for you to get it out of the store," he said as he continued to flirt with her. "Thanks, how much is it going to be," she asked. "Well, it's going to come out to be $250," Brian said, in reality he was giving her a discount. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a giant roll of $100s and $50s, Brian just looked at her in shock, "Wow, where did you get that kind of money and how did you get it." "Long story," she said as she handed him the money. Right after she handed him the money, the cell phone that was on her pants waist went off. Brian leaned over the counter, acting like he dropped a penny and saw that the phone said 'Dom.' 'It can't be, the all went to Mexico,' Brian thought to him self. "Hello, yea I got eight of the items, the other things have to be special ordered, yea I'm on my way now," the girl said and hung up. "Is that all," Brian asked. "Yea, when will those other parts be in," the girl asked. "In a few days, it will take a little bit to get that one turbo," Brian said. "Ok, thanks," the girl said. She began to walk to the door and Brian followed. As she exited, Brian said, "Haven't we met before?" The girl shook her head, "No, I've never seen you before." She walked across the street; Brian bent down and locked the lowest lock. Just as he was about to lock the highest lock he saw her get in to a baby blue Acura Interga. From that moment he knew that he had seen her before, the girl was Mia Toretto. He knew that he had to figure out if Dom and the others were back. He pulled the shade down and walked back to the private garage.

"Rom, you wanna go for a ride," Brian asked. "But of course," Rom said. "But, we'll take your car, its nice out," Brian said. With that, they both got into the Spyder and pulled of the garage. As they got out in to the Miami night, Brian said, "Remember that girl I was telling you about." "Yea, of course," Rom answered. "Well, there she goes," Brian, pointed toward the Interga that was sitting at a light. "Shit, we're following her," Rom said. With that Rom and Brian started to follow the love of Brian's life, Mia.
