Chapter 3
Go North Young Man
Brain woke up fifteen minutes later, still feeling the hit he took from the shotgun that Vince hit him with. Once he got his bearings together, he saw that the warehouse was empty, except for him and Rom, who was tied to a chair, just like him. He knew that there was only one way that he could get out of these ropes.
"Rom, damnit Rom wake up," Brain yelled as he tapped Rom on the back, figuring that it was the only spot that he could reach. After a few seconds, Rom started to stir.
"What is it Cuz, can't you see that I'm trying to take a nap here," Rom said as he finally snapped out of it and realized that they were both tied to chairs.
"This is another fine mess that you've gotten us in Brain," Rom said as he tried to break the ropes.
"Never mind that now, right now you can untie me and I can untie you, Brain said, "So work with me here and we'll be out of here in a few minutes." Brain was right, after a few seconds and a couple of tries later, the both of them were on their way out of the warehouse.
"Man that's the last time I let you take me into some mystery women that shows up at the shop late at night," Rom said. As they neared the Eclipse, Brain noticed something was under the windshield wiper. He walked over and grabbed it. To his surprise it was a note.
"Brain, I'm sorry to get you involved in this again. But, my brother is still mad at you for being a cop, that's really the reason why I didn't say it was me. Any way, if you want to see me and the rest of the crew again, go to a small town in New Jersey called Sayreville and ask for a kid named Jackson. He's the one you saw working on the Focus. He'll lead you to us. Love, Mia."
Brain couldn't believe what he was reading; he knew what he had to do. "Rom, lets get back to the shop, I want to test out my car," Brain said. Rom nodded and they both went back to a shop. A few minutes later, Brain was on his way over to Tej's shop in his Evo.
Tej's shop looked like it was closed, but Brian knew better than that. He got out of his car and walked up to the shop. As soon as he got up to the shop, he knew that something was wrong. Tej usually had massive amounts of cars parked in front of his shop. But for some odd reason, the shop front didn't have the massive amounts of cars in front of it. Nor did it have the wheel displays out front. From that second on, Brian knew that something was wrong. He then proceed to run to the back. To his surprise, he discovered that Tej and Suki where cleaning out the house boat that he and Rom shared during the sting a couple of months ago.
"Tej, bro what's going on," Brian asked as he was in somewhat of a state of shock. Tej looked up and walked over from one of the many boxes that he was packing.
"My guess is that you didn't hear the news," Tej said as he walked over to Brian.
"I guess not, what's up with all the packing, are you guys moving or something," Brian said with a laugh. Tej just gave him a dirty look and then it clicked in his head. "What, you guys can't be moving, you're the one who organizes everything down here," Brian said.
"Fraid so Bro, I've got you two down here, so my services aren't need here any more," Tej said.
"But, where the hell are you going," Brian said as he look back at the shop, it looked so weird with out anything in. Then Suki chimed in.
"Some Town in New Jersey called Sayreville. It's a really small town," Suki said as she looked at the shop. Then suddenly, it clicked with Brian again.
"You know, you guys might need a little help with setting up the new shop, so why don't me and Rom come up and help you," Brian said. Tej just kind of stared into blank space, then a few seconds later he came back to earth.
"If you guys want, after all I am getting a trailer so you guys can live in that until were officially set up," Tej said. Brain agreed and then go into his car and drove back to his shop.
A few seconds later, he was back in front of the shop and discovered that Rom was sitting in front of it. He looked up to see that Brian had a smile on his face. Rom knew that he was up to no good.
"Cuz, what ever it is, I'm not getting involved," Rom said as Brian approached him.
"Not even to help out Tej and Suki set up a new shop," Brian said as he reached into his pocket.
"I know what your up to and I'm not going just so you could chase some old tail," Rom said.
"Well, read this then," Brian said as he handed him that note. Rom read it and a few seconds later he looked up at Brian and rolled his eyes.
"Alright, I'll help look for Mia, under one condition," Rom said.
"What is it now," Brian said with a sigh.
"If in can beat the stuffing out of that beast who clock us back at the warehouse," Rom said with a laugh. Brian agreed to that one. With in a week, they would be on the hunt for Dom and the crew again.
