Peace Doesn't Last Forever
Since they'd moved in with Brian and everyone else Keira and Haylee had fallen into a regular routine on race nights. The two of them would go out to dinner, then depending on their mood would either catch a movie at the theater or rent a few and stay home, hanging out on the couch together eating popcorn. They'd done this since about the second week when Keira decided that they needed to do something other than sit in the house and work all day. Little did she know this was about to change. Brian had told the rest of the crew about her racing on the tracks back in California, Rome had even remembered hearing something about her when he mentioned it. She was starting to make a name for herself, especially since she was a woman. Most of the guys underestimated thinking she was just some wannabe racer who shouldn't be near a car, they didn't know how wrong they were. They all decided that it was time for her to stop staying at home; she'd been cooped up in the house for too long and was getting stir crazy, they could all see it. That's why this Friday night Suki was staying at the house with Haylee while the boys and Keira went to the races. Keira of course didn't know any of this.
Walking into the house behind Rome and Suki, she dropped her keys on the table and walked towards the living room. Walking around the side of the couch she stopped in front of it and collapsed, letting her head hit the soft cushions. She was tired and had worked hard that day, all she wanted was to be able to relax and not think about things for a while. Closing her eyes she began to let the sleep take over her, 'Hey I need a nap.' she thought to herself. Hearing someone walk into the room and clear their throat, she cracked one eye open and looked in the direction that the noise came from.
"What do you think you're doing?" Suki asked with an eyebrow raised, as she looked down on her friend.
"Umm... sleeping you know that thing you do when you're tired. I worked hard today and I want to relax." Keira said looking confused. She was doing the same thing that she did everyday after coming in from work. She didn't know why Suki woulda say anything about it, she was usually right there with her on the loveseat, except for Fridays when she went and got ready for the races.
"Sorry chica, you gotta drag your ass up those steps and get ready."
"Ready for what? Me and Haylee are callin' in a pizza and watching movies here instead of going to the theater. She doesn't want to see anything that came out this weekend." "Nope, sorry sweets, that's what me and my Mini-Me are going to do." Suki said using the nickname she'd given to the little girl after about a week of knowing her. She reminded her of herself at that age and she found that amusing. It wasn't everyday you met a four year old girl who was more interested in cars than she was in Barbie dolls. "You're going to the races with the guys tonight."
"What?!?" Keira half yelled her eyes wide. She couldn't believe what she'd just heard. "You're kidding me right?"
"No girly, we ain't. We all know you'd be hellified pissed if we played you like that. And from what Bullit tells us you're kinda scary when you're mad."
"What the fuck am I supposed to wear? I didn't bring any of the clothes I go out in with me when we left."
"Don't worry about it, I got you covered. C'mon I'll see what I can find for ya to wear tonight." And grabbing her hand, Suki literally yanked her off of the couch and began dragging her up the stairs. The men in the house had been watching them from through the kitchen door along with Haylee. Looking at each other they shook their heads as Tej looked back towards the stairs and said,
"Poor girl, she doesn't realize what she just got herself into."
"Hell nah Bra, she don't realize that she just released a monster on all of us." Rome said eating a few French fries out of the bag from McDonald's, which he'd gotten on his way home. Seeing Haylee look up at him with her green eyes watery, and looking like those of a puppy's, he pulled the out the chocolate shake he'd gotten her and handed it to her.
"Thank you!" Haylee said with a grin and then began to try and sip it through the straw.
"No problem Hayls. Besides you know I like spoiling ya... it drives your Aunt Keira crazy."
"You know if she heard you say that she'd kick your ass don't you?" Brian asked his friend as all three watched the little girl walk through the sliding glass door and sit on the patio, sipping on her shake still, finally getting it to come through the straw.
"Nah she wouldn't kick my ass. I'd be in my car and heading down the road before she got the chance." Rome said smiling.
"So Ro' you got any food in there for us man? Or you just think bout yourself as always." Tej asked, eying the bag hungrily, and making Roman grab it protectively before saying,
"No I wasn't think bout just myself, I bought Haylee something didn't I? But to answer you question, hell no I didn't by ya'll food, you can buy it yo' damn self." And with that he took a large bite out of the Big Mac he'd just taken from its box. As Brian shook his head and Tej rolled his eyes, Suki was shoving Keira into the bathroom to take a shower, and then walked into her room and began to tear her closet apart. She was going to find the perfect outfit for her friend, and she didn't care how much Keira protested she was going to wear it. Taking hangers of the rail she started tossing clothes onto the bed and floor, she knew that when she saw it she'd know it.
In the bathroom Keira turned the water on and got it to the temperature she wanted, before she slowly began to peel the dirty, sweaty clothes from her body. Stepping under the stream of water coming from the shower head, she let her muscles relax, and began to think. She'd been keeping a low profile since she arrived in Miami. She knew that he had men all over the country and could easily find her if she wasn't careful, and that was the last thing she needed at this moment. To keep him from finding her she'd taken to driving Tej's black Escalade. Her Skyline was just too noticeable, especially with the paint job she had. It wasn't everyday you saw a Skyline, let alone one with flaming cherries on the hood. She'd been storing it in Tej's garage until she and Suki came up with a new design for it. Though she'd been more relaxed lately than she had when she first showed up, she still had that lingering fear that he'd find her and Haylee. Keira was much happier than she had been in a long time here with people she knew cared about her, even if they hadn't known her all that long, and that she cared about. Rome and Tej had become two big brothers in her eyes, and Jimmy was the younger sibling she'd always wanted when she was little but never had. Suki was a whole different story. It was like the two had been separated at birth, they acted so similar to each other. The two of them had gotten closer in the short time they'd known each other, than Keira had ever been with any other female other than Trish, including her mother. It was strange for either one to have gotten to know another woman so easily and willingly. As she finished washing the dirt and grime that her body had acquired in the hot Miami sun, she caught a glimpse of her now bruise free torso. They'd faded away completely about a week ago, including the sickening yellowish color most turned after some time. Turning off the water, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself before walking out the door and down the hall a short distance to Suki's room. Opening the door she went in, and turned to shut the door. As she did this she missed the evil grin that formed for a brief time on her friend's lips.
"Keira I found your outfit doll." She said holding it up for her to see.
"No... Nuh uh... not happening. There's just no way in hell I'm wearing that!" Keira exclaimed, eyes wide and shaking her head violently as she backed away towards the door. Knowing what she was going to do, Suki quickly ran to the door and blocked the only way out. Leaning against the door and looking smug, she said with confidence evident in her voice,
"Oh yes you are. So let's walk to you're room so you can get a bra and underwear and then we can get started." And opening the door she pulled Keira along rather unwillingly and pushed her into her room to get the things she needed. Soon she had them, and they we're back in Suki's room. Closing the door she looked over to where the redhead was standing and pouting slightly, and said, "Now we can get started."
"C'mon Keira! We're gonna be late if you don't get your ass moving!" Brian yelled up the stairs. He had grown used to being impatient on race night; it was something he'd picked up from being around Dom. As he, Rome, and Tej stood at the bottom of the stairs, he looked to each of his friends and either shook his head or rolled his blue eyes. Hearing someone walking down the hall they all looked up hoping to see Keira, all we're slightly disappointed when they saw it was Suki.
"Jesus Brian, pull the stick outta your ass, she'll be down in a second." She said and began walking down the stairs. When she was about halfway down she yelled, "Kay girl come on down." Soon the all heard Keira's voice float down the hall,
"I'm not coming out. I look horrible. I don't care what you told me my legs look fat." Hearing this you could hear a sigh be emitted from all three men, while a frustrated noise made its way out from deep in Suki's throat.
"I swear to God Keira, if you don't start walking down that hall right now, I'll drag your ass out here. You know it's a losing battle in the shoes you're wearing. And if I can't do it I'm sure one of the guys will be only too happy to do it for me. Now get down here dammit!" She yelled back. Soon you could hear a groan and the sounds of someone saying 'fine' while sounding like it really wasn't.
"I'm here now, happy?" Asked the disgruntled looking woman at the top of the stairs. Soon all eyes had turned to look at what she was complaining about. Three pairs of eyes widened at the sight of her. She was dressed in a black leather tube top that stopped about an inch above her bellybutton and laced in the back showing some skin, a black leather mini skirt that came down about four inches past her butt. Her shoes were black four inch strappy heels that crisscrossed over the top of her foot and buckled around her ankle. Her hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail with small wisps of hair left out that fell around her face. Her makeup was minimal, with black eyeliner and mascara, an iridescent skin toned eye shadow, and a shiny mocha flavored lip gloss that gave her lips a small hint of color. Looking her up and down Rome let out a low whistle, while Tej said,
"Damn girl, where the hell you been hiding that body?"
"I don't look fat?" she asked still feeling a little insecure about herself, it had been a long time when she'd actually been bruise free enough to wear something like this out.
"Maybe P-H-A-T, but most def not the fat you're thinkin'." Tej Assured her. He found it hard to believe that she didn't already know that she looked good. Brian who until this point had just stood there staring at her cleared his throat and said,
"So we're ready to go now right?"
"Yeah we're ready to go Bri. Just lemme grab a coat and we can leave." Keira answered, knowing he was itching to leave and not wanting to keep him waiting anymore. She could tell he was getting antsy and seeing Brian when he started getting wired wasn't a good thing.
"Here take mine." Suki said pulling black racing jacket with the word 'Sexy' embroidered on the back in red leather from the closet.
"Thanks girly, let's go guys. Bri's bout ready to have a heart attack over here." This comment made Rome laugh and mutter to Tej, so neither her or Brian could hear,
"I think she's the one who's gonna give our boy that heart attack. Did see the way his eyes popped when he saw her?"
"Yeah Bra I saw. Don't think our girl saw it though." Tej answered as they all walked out the door. As they got to the driveway Keira looked at the cars.
"Alright who am I riding with?"
"Whoever you want to ride with. It don't matter to us." Tej said told her, not really caring who he rode with to get to the races.
"Hell I'm lazy; since I'm already on the passenger side over here I'll ride with Bri." She said walking to what would have been the driver's side on any other car.
"Aight, we'll see ya'll there then." Rome said and got into his car. Soon the two cars were weaving in and out of traffic, trying to get to the spot where they'd be racing as soon as they could. Sitting next to Brian as he shifted gears, Keira leaned back in her seat and let the feel of the car take over her. Sure Tej's Escalade was nice and all, but she missed that slight jerk whenever you went to change gears. That had to be one of the most enjoyable sensations for her, just knowing the power that was under the hood of a car. It still amazed her how something could contain that much force behind it, yet be in such a compact area. It was something she knew she'd never truly understand it, but she didn't care, all that mattered to her was the rush she got being behind the wheel of a car.
As she sat there contemplating all of this, Brian was watching her. He couldn't believe that she looked as amazing as she did. Granted he knew she was beautiful already, he just hadn't seen her dressed like she was in so long it had shocked him a little bit. He was glad Suki had forced her into the outfit se was wearing. He didn't know where all these thoughts were coming from, and as he drove keeping an eye on the road stretched out in front of him and watched her out of the corner of his eye, he reminded himself, 'That ship has sailed already, and we both agreed that dating just wasn't for us.' Before he realized it they were at the races and Rome and Tej were pulling up next to them. He and Keira stepped out of the Skyline at almost the same time their two friends stepped out of the Spyder. Soon all three men we're surrounded by chasers and this made Keira sigh, she'd only been to the street races in L.A. once or twice, but each time she had she'd seen the same thing. The chasers always around the guys with cars and if he lost then they hopped over to the winner, it was stupid in her opinion and she couldn't help but think of them all as whores. You had to be if you would so willingly drop one guy and go to another just because he lost a race. It was pathetic. Walking around the front of the car, and towards them, and stood next to Brian. She continued to stand there, looking around her and scoping her surroundings, completely bored. She was being ignored and that was one thing she hated. That changed quickly though, when she was tapped on the shoulder. Turning around she came face to face with a guy wearing a white puma sweat outfit with orange stripes running down the legs of the pants and the sleeves of the jacket. Since the zipper was unzipped she could see the orange wife beater he was wearing that matched the orange beanie on his head. She noted that he looked Puerto Rican, but that was only a guess. For all she knew he could be Cuban or Mexican. Looking him up and down in a way which it was completely obvious what she was doing she met his eyes and said,
"Can I help you with something?" in a tone which didn't make her sound like a total bitch, but made it clear she wasn't just some dumb race skank.
"Yeah I think you can beautiful. How bout giving me your name?" He said and licked his lips. It took all that she had for her to not roll her eyes at the corny line, but she decided to play along.
"Sorry, I can't cuz I don't know yours and my mom drilled that whole 'Don't talk to strangers' bit in a little too well when I was younger."
"Alright I get ya. The name's Orange Julius, well at least on the streets."
"I'm Keira, and I'm gonna take a guess and say that it's nice to meet you." Looking over her shoulder to see where the guys were, she noticed they'd moved of further while she'd been standing there. She was starting to get uncomfortable standing there with this guy, she could feel him mentally undressing her and it was a gross feeling. Turning to look back at Orange Julius, she decided to try and get him to stop looking at her chest and at least look her in the face. "So how'd you get into the racing scene?"
"Some friends introduced me to it, and that's bout it. I was hooked after that. What about you? I ain't ever seen you here before."
"Yeah I'm new in town, but even back home I never was into street racing. I was more into the tracks. But I came here with friends tonight."
"And who would those friends be?" Before she even got the chance to answer she could hear Rome's voice yelling over the noise of the crowd to her.
"Keira get yo' ass over here girl. We were wonderin' where the hell you were."
"Well I'm guessin' that answers your question. Gotta go now though so bye!" and with that she hurried over to where Rome and the other guys were standing. As she got up next to Rome he draped his arm over her shoulders and said,
"Looked like you needed a little rescuing."
"Damn right I needed some rescuing. Do you know how gross it is to have a guy undress you with his eyes? Seriously it's creepy."
"What the hell were you doing talking to him in the first place?"
"Well let's see I was standing around being bored cuz you three were ignoring me, for chasers no less, and he started talking to me. That's how I got stuck talking to him."
"Aww is someone feeling left out? Don't worry you rate higher than any chaser does."
"Yeah cuz I'm just so damn sexy, huh?" she said grinning.
"Glad to see that you're finally realizing this." Tej said as he walked up to them. "Well you two, Race's are getting ready to start so if ya need to talk to Brian then go now."
"Alright then, I'll be back in a minute you two. And don't take off cuz if you aren't here when I get back I'm gonna beat the hell outta ya both." As she walked off towards Brian's car the two watched her. She looked like she was having more fun than she had since she showed up at the garage nearly a month ago. As they continued to watch her a girl caught Rome's attention out of the corner of his eye. Looking over that way he groaned and looked at Tej,
"Please tell me that's a figment of my imagination. Bra just tell me that isn't who I think it is." And he pointed in the direction where he saw her.
"Wish I could Ro' but she's real, and unfortunately we know she's not gonna go away." Tej said meaning every word of what he said.
"You know I just saw an upside to her being here."
"And what would that be? Cuz I'm dieing to know."
"Keira gets to meet her tonight. I got one word for you. Fireworks."
"Damn right fireworks. Big ass and really bright ones too." And saying that both men relaxed waiting for the show that was sure to start sometime tonight. Neither one was willing to miss that one and unfortunately Suki would have to, unless. As soon as the light bulb clicked inside Tej's head he dialed Jimmy's cell number knowing he'd gotten to the races before the four of them. As soon as the other line was picked up he began talking.
"Hey Jimmy you bring that video camera of yours with you tonight?"
"Yeah it's in the car why?"
"We gotta tape something for Suki tonight. Where you at?"
"Down closer to the first turn."
"Aiight, grab the camera and meet me and Rome up by the start line."
"I'll see ya in a few." They both hung up after that. Rome had a shit eating grin on his face when Tej looked over to him.
"That was some nice work. You just saved our asses you know. Suks woulda been pissed if she missed that."
"Yeah I know. But ya know it was for our benefit too. Just think we can watch that tape over and over again."
"Ha ha that's fucking brilliant dawg. I might bust the tape watching it so much tho."
"Don't worry bout that... that's what copies are for." While the two of them were talking and planning this whole event, Keira had made her way over to Brian. Seeing that he was sitting on the hood and hadn't seen her she came up behind him and, putting her hands over his eyes, said,
"Guess who."
"Well damn at least make it hard Keira." He answered grabbing her hands and pulled her in front of him. "Where were you earlier, I couldn't find you."
"Guess that's what happens when the skanks start to cloud your vision. But that's okay cuz I forgive you."
"Oh I'm so glad to know this. I can die a happy man all because you forgave me."
"I know it's a great feeling isn't it?" Grabbing her by the waist he pulled her closer to him and began tickling her side. As she squirmed and squealed she managed to choke out, "Bri... stop... please?" before losing complete control and nearly falling over from laughing. Pulling her up straight again he stopped and grinned at her.
"I see that you're still ticklish." Punching him in the stomach lightly she just looked at him and said,
"Shut up Brian. You damn well knew I was still ticklish you ass."
"Yeah I know I did. But back to my question, where were you?"
"Being visually violated by some guy named Orange Julius or something like that."
"Poor you. Want me to kick his ass for you?"
"Nah I think I can handle that. So who all is racing tonight?"
"Me-"
"Well no shit Sherlock."
"Can I finish what I was saying?" After a second of silence from her he continued, "Me, a couple of the regulars and some new guy, don't know who though."
"Oh okay. Well yeah I just wanted to wish ya luck, and pick out the song you race to."
"Shouldn't I do that; ya know pick something to hype me up."
"I think I've known ya long enough to pick it for ya. Besides you love me too much to tell me 'no'."
"Just keep telling yourself that and your mental health should be fine."
"Bite me Brian."
"You seem to like that phrase a lot." Keira decided to not even answer him and just sat down in the car and began flipping through the songs on the cd in at the moment. Soon she'd found it. Leaning her head out the window she yelled up to him, "Bri I found the song."
"And what would that song be?"
"'Away From Me' by Puddle of Mud. It's a kick ass song so I don't want to hear you complain."
"Fine whatever you say your highness. But listen the race is getting ready to start so in need to get in my car."
"Yeah ya normally do when you drive ya know." She said deciding to be a smart ass. She grinned as she stood up and before she moved to let him in the car she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and said, "Good Luck Bri, and you better win." Then she walked over to stand next to Rome. Watching Brian get in his car and Tej walk up to the starting line she could feel the adrenaline rush into her own veins. It was just something she found so contagious, especially since she hadn't been to any type of race for a long time. As she watched lower his arm for the final time and the cars take off she felt the nitrous enter her and the relaxed calm feeling take over her. She loved the whole atmosphere around races, it was so full of energy and life it was hard not to get sucked into it. As she stood there next to Rome and leaned back on his Spyder she waited to hear the roar of the engines coming back. She didn't have to wait long and before she knew it she could see Brian's car lead the rest of them back towards the crowd. As soon as his car had stopped Keira noticed a girl with dark hair make her way over to his car. The second he was out of his car she saw how uncomfortable he looked already. Turning to look at Rome she asked,
"Who's that over there with Brian?"
"Oh that's Monica. C'mon lets go get Tej and Jimmy." Trying to sound like it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Hold up a minute! That's Monica?"
"Yeah, now let's go get those two and then we'll go see Brian."
"Fine we'll go get Tej and Jimmy." And they began walking. As the two got closer to their other friends it finally dawned on her. "Rome you and Tej knew she was here didn't you?"
"Yeah we did. I saw her after you took off to go talk to Brian before the race."
"Alright so basically we're collecting an audience at the moment, right?"
"Yeah basically, well that and a camera man."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that we're taping it so Suki can see it. Plus I want the look on her face when you start on her immortalized."
"Wow I'm shocked you know how to use such a big word."
"Ha ha, damn you're funny. Now come on we gotta go get those two and get over there before she leaves."
"Alright just a sec I'll handle it." Then cupping her hand around her mouth she began to yell, "Tej, Jimmy! C'mon you two we gotta go see Bri!" Hearing this they immediately started for the two of them, fighting their way through the crowd. As soon as they got to her and Rome she looked at Jimmy and said with a huge grin on her face, "Get that camera rollin' boy." And then she unclasped the necklace that was around her neck that none of them had noticed before and slid the platinum sapphire and diamond ring that had been hanging from it onto her ring finger. Looking at her in shock Tej asked her,
"Where the hell did that come from?"
"My brother got it for me for my high school graduation. Ya'll never noticed it before? I always either have it on or on that necklace."
"Nope."
"Oh well c'mon if you're looking for a show you're bout to get one." And saying that she walked towards where Brian and Monica were still standing, all three guys following her close behind. As she got closer she did something no one was expecting, she pulled Brian into a kiss. While their lips were still pressed together Keira muttered, "If you wanna get rid of her just play along, alright?" Brian nodded his head slightly to let her know he had agreed to it. As they pulled apart she grinned and said, "Hey babe."
"Hey yourself, gorgeous. Oh Monica have you met Keira?" Brian said playing his part well. Seeing the shocked look still on her face, he looked to where Tej and Rome were fighting to contain their laughter. Then he saw the video camera Jimmy was holding while watching the whole thing unfold.
"No I don't think we have. I'm Monica Fuentes." She finally managed to get out. The sneer that was normally on her face back in place.
"Oh you're the customs agent that Bri was telling me about. It's nice to meet you. I'm Keira Michaels, Brian's fiancée." She said and held out her hand with a sickly sweet smile on her face. Monica looked like she might drop dead at any second as soon as the word fiancée had come from Keira's mouth.
"Really Brian never mentioned that to me when we talked a few weeks ago. In fact he never even said he was seeing anyone."
"That was my fault really. I wanted to keep our relationship quiet for both our sakes. I have an overly nosey family and they like to pry."
"I see. So how long have you two been seeing each other?"
"About six months." Brian said deciding to step in knowing the last time he'd actually seen Monica it had been a good eight or nine months.
"Oh that's great, but engaged already?"
"Yeah we've both never felt the way we do about each other before. It's amazing how you really do know when you've found the one, isn't it sweetie?" Keira said as Brian wrapped his arms around her waist and she looked up at Brian. He turned his head to face her.
"Yeah it is." Monica rolled her eyes while they pretended to be completely wrapped up in each other. As she noticed Tej and Rome standing close, and Jimmy video taping them she let out an irritated sigh and said,
"Brian the reason I came here tonight is because I need to tell you and Rome something about the case you two worked on. And I need to tell you two privately." She was hoping to get rid of Keira and everyone saw this.
"Whatever you have to say to us you can say in front of Keira, Tej, and Jimmy. Keira and I don't keep secrets from each other and those two already know everything anyway." Brian said. He knew that seeing him with Keira was getting on her nerves and truthfully he was loving every minute of it.
"Fine whatever you say Brian."
"So Miss Federal Agent get to speaking so you can get to steppin'." Rome said already annoyed with her.
"Glad to see you're still as charming as ever Roman."
"He is quite charming isn't he? It's a wonder someone hasn't gotten to him yet." Keira said, feeling the need to get bitchy. She wasn't about to let her come in and think she owned everything. "Now can you get back to what you were about to tell us? We've got a party to get to and we don't wanna be late."
"Yeah I should get to the point. Carter left Los Angeles last night. He's headed for New York but at the moment we aren't sure if he's gonna come down here or not."
"Oh hell no, you're telling us that Verone might be on his way to kill us?"
"It's a possibility but we've got agents that are going to be posted outside your house and where you work." As they continued to talk the color in Keira's face steadily drained. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It seemed like everything had faded away. She didn't even notice when Monica left barely hiding a glare directed towards her. As they surrounded her Brian walked in front of her before holding the sides of her face in his hands and making her look at him.
"Keeks are you okay?" Shaking her head to snap herself out of the trance she was in she looked at him and said,
"Bri, we gotta talk. I'ma tell you who I'm running from."
"Alright. Do you want it to be just me and you, or what?"
"No its better if all of you are here. It involves you guys so you should know what I've gotten you into."
"That's cool girl, just take your time." Tej said, he could tell she was really shaken up, and he didn't want to push her.
"Guys, I just want you to know that if I'd known before I'd never have gotten you involved. But I didn't and now I don't know if you're gonna be safe or not. But I guess I should just let you know so here goes. I've been running from Carter Verone."

Since they'd moved in with Brian and everyone else Keira and Haylee had fallen into a regular routine on race nights. The two of them would go out to dinner, then depending on their mood would either catch a movie at the theater or rent a few and stay home, hanging out on the couch together eating popcorn. They'd done this since about the second week when Keira decided that they needed to do something other than sit in the house and work all day. Little did she know this was about to change. Brian had told the rest of the crew about her racing on the tracks back in California, Rome had even remembered hearing something about her when he mentioned it. She was starting to make a name for herself, especially since she was a woman. Most of the guys underestimated thinking she was just some wannabe racer who shouldn't be near a car, they didn't know how wrong they were. They all decided that it was time for her to stop staying at home; she'd been cooped up in the house for too long and was getting stir crazy, they could all see it. That's why this Friday night Suki was staying at the house with Haylee while the boys and Keira went to the races. Keira of course didn't know any of this.
Walking into the house behind Rome and Suki, she dropped her keys on the table and walked towards the living room. Walking around the side of the couch she stopped in front of it and collapsed, letting her head hit the soft cushions. She was tired and had worked hard that day, all she wanted was to be able to relax and not think about things for a while. Closing her eyes she began to let the sleep take over her, 'Hey I need a nap.' she thought to herself. Hearing someone walk into the room and clear their throat, she cracked one eye open and looked in the direction that the noise came from.
"What do you think you're doing?" Suki asked with an eyebrow raised, as she looked down on her friend.
"Umm... sleeping you know that thing you do when you're tired. I worked hard today and I want to relax." Keira said looking confused. She was doing the same thing that she did everyday after coming in from work. She didn't know why Suki woulda say anything about it, she was usually right there with her on the loveseat, except for Fridays when she went and got ready for the races.
"Sorry chica, you gotta drag your ass up those steps and get ready."
"Ready for what? Me and Haylee are callin' in a pizza and watching movies here instead of going to the theater. She doesn't want to see anything that came out this weekend." "Nope, sorry sweets, that's what me and my Mini-Me are going to do." Suki said using the nickname she'd given to the little girl after about a week of knowing her. She reminded her of herself at that age and she found that amusing. It wasn't everyday you met a four year old girl who was more interested in cars than she was in Barbie dolls. "You're going to the races with the guys tonight."
"What?!?" Keira half yelled her eyes wide. She couldn't believe what she'd just heard. "You're kidding me right?"
"No girly, we ain't. We all know you'd be hellified pissed if we played you like that. And from what Bullit tells us you're kinda scary when you're mad."
"What the fuck am I supposed to wear? I didn't bring any of the clothes I go out in with me when we left."
"Don't worry about it, I got you covered. C'mon I'll see what I can find for ya to wear tonight." And grabbing her hand, Suki literally yanked her off of the couch and began dragging her up the stairs. The men in the house had been watching them from through the kitchen door along with Haylee. Looking at each other they shook their heads as Tej looked back towards the stairs and said,
"Poor girl, she doesn't realize what she just got herself into."
"Hell nah Bra, she don't realize that she just released a monster on all of us." Rome said eating a few French fries out of the bag from McDonald's, which he'd gotten on his way home. Seeing Haylee look up at him with her green eyes watery, and looking like those of a puppy's, he pulled the out the chocolate shake he'd gotten her and handed it to her.
"Thank you!" Haylee said with a grin and then began to try and sip it through the straw.
"No problem Hayls. Besides you know I like spoiling ya... it drives your Aunt Keira crazy."
"You know if she heard you say that she'd kick your ass don't you?" Brian asked his friend as all three watched the little girl walk through the sliding glass door and sit on the patio, sipping on her shake still, finally getting it to come through the straw.
"Nah she wouldn't kick my ass. I'd be in my car and heading down the road before she got the chance." Rome said smiling.
"So Ro' you got any food in there for us man? Or you just think bout yourself as always." Tej asked, eying the bag hungrily, and making Roman grab it protectively before saying,
"No I wasn't think bout just myself, I bought Haylee something didn't I? But to answer you question, hell no I didn't by ya'll food, you can buy it yo' damn self." And with that he took a large bite out of the Big Mac he'd just taken from its box. As Brian shook his head and Tej rolled his eyes, Suki was shoving Keira into the bathroom to take a shower, and then walked into her room and began to tear her closet apart. She was going to find the perfect outfit for her friend, and she didn't care how much Keira protested she was going to wear it. Taking hangers of the rail she started tossing clothes onto the bed and floor, she knew that when she saw it she'd know it.
In the bathroom Keira turned the water on and got it to the temperature she wanted, before she slowly began to peel the dirty, sweaty clothes from her body. Stepping under the stream of water coming from the shower head, she let her muscles relax, and began to think. She'd been keeping a low profile since she arrived in Miami. She knew that he had men all over the country and could easily find her if she wasn't careful, and that was the last thing she needed at this moment. To keep him from finding her she'd taken to driving Tej's black Escalade. Her Skyline was just too noticeable, especially with the paint job she had. It wasn't everyday you saw a Skyline, let alone one with flaming cherries on the hood. She'd been storing it in Tej's garage until she and Suki came up with a new design for it. Though she'd been more relaxed lately than she had when she first showed up, she still had that lingering fear that he'd find her and Haylee. Keira was much happier than she had been in a long time here with people she knew cared about her, even if they hadn't known her all that long, and that she cared about. Rome and Tej had become two big brothers in her eyes, and Jimmy was the younger sibling she'd always wanted when she was little but never had. Suki was a whole different story. It was like the two had been separated at birth, they acted so similar to each other. The two of them had gotten closer in the short time they'd known each other, than Keira had ever been with any other female other than Trish, including her mother. It was strange for either one to have gotten to know another woman so easily and willingly. As she finished washing the dirt and grime that her body had acquired in the hot Miami sun, she caught a glimpse of her now bruise free torso. They'd faded away completely about a week ago, including the sickening yellowish color most turned after some time. Turning off the water, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself before walking out the door and down the hall a short distance to Suki's room. Opening the door she went in, and turned to shut the door. As she did this she missed the evil grin that formed for a brief time on her friend's lips.
"Keira I found your outfit doll." She said holding it up for her to see.
"No... Nuh uh... not happening. There's just no way in hell I'm wearing that!" Keira exclaimed, eyes wide and shaking her head violently as she backed away towards the door. Knowing what she was going to do, Suki quickly ran to the door and blocked the only way out. Leaning against the door and looking smug, she said with confidence evident in her voice,
"Oh yes you are. So let's walk to you're room so you can get a bra and underwear and then we can get started." And opening the door she pulled Keira along rather unwillingly and pushed her into her room to get the things she needed. Soon she had them, and they we're back in Suki's room. Closing the door she looked over to where the redhead was standing and pouting slightly, and said, "Now we can get started."
"C'mon Keira! We're gonna be late if you don't get your ass moving!" Brian yelled up the stairs. He had grown used to being impatient on race night; it was something he'd picked up from being around Dom. As he, Rome, and Tej stood at the bottom of the stairs, he looked to each of his friends and either shook his head or rolled his blue eyes. Hearing someone walking down the hall they all looked up hoping to see Keira, all we're slightly disappointed when they saw it was Suki.
"Jesus Brian, pull the stick outta your ass, she'll be down in a second." She said and began walking down the stairs. When she was about halfway down she yelled, "Kay girl come on down." Soon the all heard Keira's voice float down the hall,
"I'm not coming out. I look horrible. I don't care what you told me my legs look fat." Hearing this you could hear a sigh be emitted from all three men, while a frustrated noise made its way out from deep in Suki's throat.
"I swear to God Keira, if you don't start walking down that hall right now, I'll drag your ass out here. You know it's a losing battle in the shoes you're wearing. And if I can't do it I'm sure one of the guys will be only too happy to do it for me. Now get down here dammit!" She yelled back. Soon you could hear a groan and the sounds of someone saying 'fine' while sounding like it really wasn't.
"I'm here now, happy?" Asked the disgruntled looking woman at the top of the stairs. Soon all eyes had turned to look at what she was complaining about. Three pairs of eyes widened at the sight of her. She was dressed in a black leather tube top that stopped about an inch above her bellybutton and laced in the back showing some skin, a black leather mini skirt that came down about four inches past her butt. Her shoes were black four inch strappy heels that crisscrossed over the top of her foot and buckled around her ankle. Her hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail with small wisps of hair left out that fell around her face. Her makeup was minimal, with black eyeliner and mascara, an iridescent skin toned eye shadow, and a shiny mocha flavored lip gloss that gave her lips a small hint of color. Looking her up and down Rome let out a low whistle, while Tej said,
"Damn girl, where the hell you been hiding that body?"
"I don't look fat?" she asked still feeling a little insecure about herself, it had been a long time when she'd actually been bruise free enough to wear something like this out.
"Maybe P-H-A-T, but most def not the fat you're thinkin'." Tej Assured her. He found it hard to believe that she didn't already know that she looked good. Brian who until this point had just stood there staring at her cleared his throat and said,
"So we're ready to go now right?"
"Yeah we're ready to go Bri. Just lemme grab a coat and we can leave." Keira answered, knowing he was itching to leave and not wanting to keep him waiting anymore. She could tell he was getting antsy and seeing Brian when he started getting wired wasn't a good thing.
"Here take mine." Suki said pulling black racing jacket with the word 'Sexy' embroidered on the back in red leather from the closet.
"Thanks girly, let's go guys. Bri's bout ready to have a heart attack over here." This comment made Rome laugh and mutter to Tej, so neither her or Brian could hear,
"I think she's the one who's gonna give our boy that heart attack. Did see the way his eyes popped when he saw her?"
"Yeah Bra I saw. Don't think our girl saw it though." Tej answered as they all walked out the door. As they got to the driveway Keira looked at the cars.
"Alright who am I riding with?"
"Whoever you want to ride with. It don't matter to us." Tej said told her, not really caring who he rode with to get to the races.
"Hell I'm lazy; since I'm already on the passenger side over here I'll ride with Bri." She said walking to what would have been the driver's side on any other car.
"Aight, we'll see ya'll there then." Rome said and got into his car. Soon the two cars were weaving in and out of traffic, trying to get to the spot where they'd be racing as soon as they could. Sitting next to Brian as he shifted gears, Keira leaned back in her seat and let the feel of the car take over her. Sure Tej's Escalade was nice and all, but she missed that slight jerk whenever you went to change gears. That had to be one of the most enjoyable sensations for her, just knowing the power that was under the hood of a car. It still amazed her how something could contain that much force behind it, yet be in such a compact area. It was something she knew she'd never truly understand it, but she didn't care, all that mattered to her was the rush she got being behind the wheel of a car.
As she sat there contemplating all of this, Brian was watching her. He couldn't believe that she looked as amazing as she did. Granted he knew she was beautiful already, he just hadn't seen her dressed like she was in so long it had shocked him a little bit. He was glad Suki had forced her into the outfit se was wearing. He didn't know where all these thoughts were coming from, and as he drove keeping an eye on the road stretched out in front of him and watched her out of the corner of his eye, he reminded himself, 'That ship has sailed already, and we both agreed that dating just wasn't for us.' Before he realized it they were at the races and Rome and Tej were pulling up next to them. He and Keira stepped out of the Skyline at almost the same time their two friends stepped out of the Spyder. Soon all three men we're surrounded by chasers and this made Keira sigh, she'd only been to the street races in L.A. once or twice, but each time she had she'd seen the same thing. The chasers always around the guys with cars and if he lost then they hopped over to the winner, it was stupid in her opinion and she couldn't help but think of them all as whores. You had to be if you would so willingly drop one guy and go to another just because he lost a race. It was pathetic. Walking around the front of the car, and towards them, and stood next to Brian. She continued to stand there, looking around her and scoping her surroundings, completely bored. She was being ignored and that was one thing she hated. That changed quickly though, when she was tapped on the shoulder. Turning around she came face to face with a guy wearing a white puma sweat outfit with orange stripes running down the legs of the pants and the sleeves of the jacket. Since the zipper was unzipped she could see the orange wife beater he was wearing that matched the orange beanie on his head. She noted that he looked Puerto Rican, but that was only a guess. For all she knew he could be Cuban or Mexican. Looking him up and down in a way which it was completely obvious what she was doing she met his eyes and said,
"Can I help you with something?" in a tone which didn't make her sound like a total bitch, but made it clear she wasn't just some dumb race skank.
"Yeah I think you can beautiful. How bout giving me your name?" He said and licked his lips. It took all that she had for her to not roll her eyes at the corny line, but she decided to play along.
"Sorry, I can't cuz I don't know yours and my mom drilled that whole 'Don't talk to strangers' bit in a little too well when I was younger."
"Alright I get ya. The name's Orange Julius, well at least on the streets."
"I'm Keira, and I'm gonna take a guess and say that it's nice to meet you." Looking over her shoulder to see where the guys were, she noticed they'd moved of further while she'd been standing there. She was starting to get uncomfortable standing there with this guy, she could feel him mentally undressing her and it was a gross feeling. Turning to look back at Orange Julius, she decided to try and get him to stop looking at her chest and at least look her in the face. "So how'd you get into the racing scene?"
"Some friends introduced me to it, and that's bout it. I was hooked after that. What about you? I ain't ever seen you here before."
"Yeah I'm new in town, but even back home I never was into street racing. I was more into the tracks. But I came here with friends tonight."
"And who would those friends be?" Before she even got the chance to answer she could hear Rome's voice yelling over the noise of the crowd to her.
"Keira get yo' ass over here girl. We were wonderin' where the hell you were."
"Well I'm guessin' that answers your question. Gotta go now though so bye!" and with that she hurried over to where Rome and the other guys were standing. As she got up next to Rome he draped his arm over her shoulders and said,
"Looked like you needed a little rescuing."
"Damn right I needed some rescuing. Do you know how gross it is to have a guy undress you with his eyes? Seriously it's creepy."
"What the hell were you doing talking to him in the first place?"
"Well let's see I was standing around being bored cuz you three were ignoring me, for chasers no less, and he started talking to me. That's how I got stuck talking to him."
"Aww is someone feeling left out? Don't worry you rate higher than any chaser does."
"Yeah cuz I'm just so damn sexy, huh?" she said grinning.
"Glad to see that you're finally realizing this." Tej said as he walked up to them. "Well you two, Race's are getting ready to start so if ya need to talk to Brian then go now."
"Alright then, I'll be back in a minute you two. And don't take off cuz if you aren't here when I get back I'm gonna beat the hell outta ya both." As she walked off towards Brian's car the two watched her. She looked like she was having more fun than she had since she showed up at the garage nearly a month ago. As they continued to watch her a girl caught Rome's attention out of the corner of his eye. Looking over that way he groaned and looked at Tej,
"Please tell me that's a figment of my imagination. Bra just tell me that isn't who I think it is." And he pointed in the direction where he saw her.
"Wish I could Ro' but she's real, and unfortunately we know she's not gonna go away." Tej said meaning every word of what he said.
"You know I just saw an upside to her being here."
"And what would that be? Cuz I'm dieing to know."
"Keira gets to meet her tonight. I got one word for you. Fireworks."
"Damn right fireworks. Big ass and really bright ones too." And saying that both men relaxed waiting for the show that was sure to start sometime tonight. Neither one was willing to miss that one and unfortunately Suki would have to, unless. As soon as the light bulb clicked inside Tej's head he dialed Jimmy's cell number knowing he'd gotten to the races before the four of them. As soon as the other line was picked up he began talking.
"Hey Jimmy you bring that video camera of yours with you tonight?"
"Yeah it's in the car why?"
"We gotta tape something for Suki tonight. Where you at?"
"Down closer to the first turn."
"Aiight, grab the camera and meet me and Rome up by the start line."
"I'll see ya in a few." They both hung up after that. Rome had a shit eating grin on his face when Tej looked over to him.
"That was some nice work. You just saved our asses you know. Suks woulda been pissed if she missed that."
"Yeah I know. But ya know it was for our benefit too. Just think we can watch that tape over and over again."
"Ha ha that's fucking brilliant dawg. I might bust the tape watching it so much tho."
"Don't worry bout that... that's what copies are for." While the two of them were talking and planning this whole event, Keira had made her way over to Brian. Seeing that he was sitting on the hood and hadn't seen her she came up behind him and, putting her hands over his eyes, said,
"Guess who."
"Well damn at least make it hard Keira." He answered grabbing her hands and pulled her in front of him. "Where were you earlier, I couldn't find you."
"Guess that's what happens when the skanks start to cloud your vision. But that's okay cuz I forgive you."
"Oh I'm so glad to know this. I can die a happy man all because you forgave me."
"I know it's a great feeling isn't it?" Grabbing her by the waist he pulled her closer to him and began tickling her side. As she squirmed and squealed she managed to choke out, "Bri... stop... please?" before losing complete control and nearly falling over from laughing. Pulling her up straight again he stopped and grinned at her.
"I see that you're still ticklish." Punching him in the stomach lightly she just looked at him and said,
"Shut up Brian. You damn well knew I was still ticklish you ass."
"Yeah I know I did. But back to my question, where were you?"
"Being visually violated by some guy named Orange Julius or something like that."
"Poor you. Want me to kick his ass for you?"
"Nah I think I can handle that. So who all is racing tonight?"
"Me-"
"Well no shit Sherlock."
"Can I finish what I was saying?" After a second of silence from her he continued, "Me, a couple of the regulars and some new guy, don't know who though."
"Oh okay. Well yeah I just wanted to wish ya luck, and pick out the song you race to."
"Shouldn't I do that; ya know pick something to hype me up."
"I think I've known ya long enough to pick it for ya. Besides you love me too much to tell me 'no'."
"Just keep telling yourself that and your mental health should be fine."
"Bite me Brian."
"You seem to like that phrase a lot." Keira decided to not even answer him and just sat down in the car and began flipping through the songs on the cd in at the moment. Soon she'd found it. Leaning her head out the window she yelled up to him, "Bri I found the song."
"And what would that song be?"
"'Away From Me' by Puddle of Mud. It's a kick ass song so I don't want to hear you complain."
"Fine whatever you say your highness. But listen the race is getting ready to start so in need to get in my car."
"Yeah ya normally do when you drive ya know." She said deciding to be a smart ass. She grinned as she stood up and before she moved to let him in the car she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and said, "Good Luck Bri, and you better win." Then she walked over to stand next to Rome. Watching Brian get in his car and Tej walk up to the starting line she could feel the adrenaline rush into her own veins. It was just something she found so contagious, especially since she hadn't been to any type of race for a long time. As she watched lower his arm for the final time and the cars take off she felt the nitrous enter her and the relaxed calm feeling take over her. She loved the whole atmosphere around races, it was so full of energy and life it was hard not to get sucked into it. As she stood there next to Rome and leaned back on his Spyder she waited to hear the roar of the engines coming back. She didn't have to wait long and before she knew it she could see Brian's car lead the rest of them back towards the crowd. As soon as his car had stopped Keira noticed a girl with dark hair make her way over to his car. The second he was out of his car she saw how uncomfortable he looked already. Turning to look at Rome she asked,
"Who's that over there with Brian?"
"Oh that's Monica. C'mon lets go get Tej and Jimmy." Trying to sound like it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Hold up a minute! That's Monica?"
"Yeah, now let's go get those two and then we'll go see Brian."
"Fine we'll go get Tej and Jimmy." And they began walking. As the two got closer to their other friends it finally dawned on her. "Rome you and Tej knew she was here didn't you?"
"Yeah we did. I saw her after you took off to go talk to Brian before the race."
"Alright so basically we're collecting an audience at the moment, right?"
"Yeah basically, well that and a camera man."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that we're taping it so Suki can see it. Plus I want the look on her face when you start on her immortalized."
"Wow I'm shocked you know how to use such a big word."
"Ha ha, damn you're funny. Now come on we gotta go get those two and get over there before she leaves."
"Alright just a sec I'll handle it." Then cupping her hand around her mouth she began to yell, "Tej, Jimmy! C'mon you two we gotta go see Bri!" Hearing this they immediately started for the two of them, fighting their way through the crowd. As soon as they got to her and Rome she looked at Jimmy and said with a huge grin on her face, "Get that camera rollin' boy." And then she unclasped the necklace that was around her neck that none of them had noticed before and slid the platinum sapphire and diamond ring that had been hanging from it onto her ring finger. Looking at her in shock Tej asked her,
"Where the hell did that come from?"
"My brother got it for me for my high school graduation. Ya'll never noticed it before? I always either have it on or on that necklace."
"Nope."
"Oh well c'mon if you're looking for a show you're bout to get one." And saying that she walked towards where Brian and Monica were still standing, all three guys following her close behind. As she got closer she did something no one was expecting, she pulled Brian into a kiss. While their lips were still pressed together Keira muttered, "If you wanna get rid of her just play along, alright?" Brian nodded his head slightly to let her know he had agreed to it. As they pulled apart she grinned and said, "Hey babe."
"Hey yourself, gorgeous. Oh Monica have you met Keira?" Brian said playing his part well. Seeing the shocked look still on her face, he looked to where Tej and Rome were fighting to contain their laughter. Then he saw the video camera Jimmy was holding while watching the whole thing unfold.
"No I don't think we have. I'm Monica Fuentes." She finally managed to get out. The sneer that was normally on her face back in place.
"Oh you're the customs agent that Bri was telling me about. It's nice to meet you. I'm Keira Michaels, Brian's fiancée." She said and held out her hand with a sickly sweet smile on her face. Monica looked like she might drop dead at any second as soon as the word fiancée had come from Keira's mouth.
"Really Brian never mentioned that to me when we talked a few weeks ago. In fact he never even said he was seeing anyone."
"That was my fault really. I wanted to keep our relationship quiet for both our sakes. I have an overly nosey family and they like to pry."
"I see. So how long have you two been seeing each other?"
"About six months." Brian said deciding to step in knowing the last time he'd actually seen Monica it had been a good eight or nine months.
"Oh that's great, but engaged already?"
"Yeah we've both never felt the way we do about each other before. It's amazing how you really do know when you've found the one, isn't it sweetie?" Keira said as Brian wrapped his arms around her waist and she looked up at Brian. He turned his head to face her.
"Yeah it is." Monica rolled her eyes while they pretended to be completely wrapped up in each other. As she noticed Tej and Rome standing close, and Jimmy video taping them she let out an irritated sigh and said,
"Brian the reason I came here tonight is because I need to tell you and Rome something about the case you two worked on. And I need to tell you two privately." She was hoping to get rid of Keira and everyone saw this.
"Whatever you have to say to us you can say in front of Keira, Tej, and Jimmy. Keira and I don't keep secrets from each other and those two already know everything anyway." Brian said. He knew that seeing him with Keira was getting on her nerves and truthfully he was loving every minute of it.
"Fine whatever you say Brian."
"So Miss Federal Agent get to speaking so you can get to steppin'." Rome said already annoyed with her.
"Glad to see you're still as charming as ever Roman."
"He is quite charming isn't he? It's a wonder someone hasn't gotten to him yet." Keira said, feeling the need to get bitchy. She wasn't about to let her come in and think she owned everything. "Now can you get back to what you were about to tell us? We've got a party to get to and we don't wanna be late."
"Yeah I should get to the point. Carter left Los Angeles last night. He's headed for New York but at the moment we aren't sure if he's gonna come down here or not."
"Oh hell no, you're telling us that Verone might be on his way to kill us?"
"It's a possibility but we've got agents that are going to be posted outside your house and where you work." As they continued to talk the color in Keira's face steadily drained. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It seemed like everything had faded away. She didn't even notice when Monica left barely hiding a glare directed towards her. As they surrounded her Brian walked in front of her before holding the sides of her face in his hands and making her look at him.
"Keeks are you okay?" Shaking her head to snap herself out of the trance she was in she looked at him and said,
"Bri, we gotta talk. I'ma tell you who I'm running from."
"Alright. Do you want it to be just me and you, or what?"
"No its better if all of you are here. It involves you guys so you should know what I've gotten you into."
"That's cool girl, just take your time." Tej said, he could tell she was really shaken up, and he didn't want to push her.
"Guys, I just want you to know that if I'd known before I'd never have gotten you involved. But I didn't and now I don't know if you're gonna be safe or not. But I guess I should just let you know so here goes. I've been running from Carter Verone."
