Part 7 of 18
When Dom woke up he called Letty to tell he that they would be back tomorrow around suppertime. Dom decided that he would have Vince pick them up from the airport that way Letty didn't have to try to make an excuse for leaving the shop early. Because they usually didn't close the shop until seven or later. Vince was just going to act like he was just taking a drive but then come over to the airport and pick them up.
"Morning," Dom said seeing Brian coming into the kitchen.
"Morning to you too. So are the races interesting in Italy," Brian asked.
"Not as much as they are here. You might want to go to your apartment and pack because you're not going to be back here ever again," Dom said.
"Yeah I also need to go with drawl some money from my bank account," Brian said.
"No it will be taken care of. Don't do that because then the cops will look at it and suspect something's up. Since I didn't say it last night thank you for getting Vince out of here and to Italy," Dom said.
"No sweat," Brian said.
Brian had a hard time trying to decide what he wanted to take with him. The thing that he didn't like was he couldn't pack up what he didn't want to take and put it in storage. He knew if he did that then the cops would know something was up and he couldn't afford for them to know. He couldn't wait for Sunday morning to come. He wanted to see Mia more now then ever. Partly because of finding out about the babies and because he just wanted to see her. He spent all day either packing, working on his beloved car and he did some Christmas shopping for the team and babies since it was in two days. He didn't know what Dom had planed but he knew that he had something up his sleeve. The only reason he knew that was there was no way that Dom was going to put a bet to win a car that he couldn't even have.
By time ten that night came around Brian was acting like he had ants in pants. He couldn't wait until two o'clock came because then he would be on his way to see the one woman that had kept him going all this time.
"Brian calm down we'll be on our way home in a couple of hours," Dom said.
"Yeah easy for you to say. You haven't seen your girlfriend in seven months," Brian said.
"Yeah that's true but I still miss Letty like crazy. I want to be home just as much as you want to be," Dom said.
"The funny part about that is it's not really going to feel like I'm going home but just going on vacation," Brian said.
"Don't worry you'll get used to it as time goes along. I know I have," Dom said.
"How long did it take you though," Brian asked.
"Not that long really," Dom said.
"Come on it had to take you awhile," Brian said.
"It really wasn't that bad for me," Dom said.
"Well it could be for me. By the way weren't you pissed when you found out that Mia was pregnant by me," Brian asked.
"At first I was but I've had seven and a half months to get over it," Dom said.
"You're not just a little pissed that we'll probably have two kids before we get married," Brian asked.
"Well see the way I figure it is as long as you two get married before the kids are a year old then it's fine. I know you would have been married by now if you'd been together," Dom said.
"Yeah we would have been," Brian said.
"Now go to bed because we're going to have to leave in a couple of hours. By the way did you leave your truck at your apartment," Dom asked.
"Yeah it's at the apartment. Don't worry it'll just be like I left for vacation. Since I don't have a steady job I didn't have to worry about telling someone that I was going to be gone," Brian said.
"Hmm," Dom said and went to sleep.
"So I guess this is good-bye," Seth said.
"Yeah until next time. Thanks man," Dom said shaking Seth's hand.
"No problem," Seth said.
"Hey here's that money I owe you. Don't worry it's all there I wouldn't cheat a friend of Dominic's," Seth said.
"Well thanks man that means a lot to me," Brian said.
"No sweat man," Seth said.
"Well we better get going," Dom said.
"Yeah," Brian said.
"See you around," Seth said and with that he drove away.
"Ok let's get going," Dom said picking up his bag.
"Yeah," Brian said.
Brian and Dom went to where they were taking the luggage and loading it onto the carts to take to the plane.
"Here put this on," Dom said handing Brian a vest so that they could load and unload luggage and not get caught.
"Ok," Brian said and put it on.
"Ok now let's go," Dom said seeing that the cart was ready to go.
So Brian and Dom went out to the cart and jumped into the driver seat. They then drove the cart to the plane but just as they were getting up to the plane Brian realized that they were being chased. Luckily for them once they got to the plane it was opened so they could sneak in.
"Just follow me and hurry," Dom said running through the luggage compartment.
"Ok," Brian said hot on Dom's trial.
"Ok got into that bathroom and I'll go in here," Dom said going into a bathroom that didn't have anyone in it.
Just as Brian got into the bathroom he heard two men run right by the bathroom. He could hear them asking if any of the flight attendants had seen him and Dom run by. They kept looking for awhile and then finally gave up. While they were looking for them Brian and Dom changed clothes and put on jackets. Brian decided that he'd wear a baseball cap so that they couldn't see his hair color. Dom decided that he'd put on his fake mustache that he had with him. He was hoping that it would help, but all it did was make him look ridicules.
About twenty minutes before they were to leave Brian and Dom came out of the bathrooms.
"A cap? You think that they're not going to know who you are," Dom asked.
"Well if there's someone looking for me in Italy they're not going to know who I am because of my beard I've been growing and this way they can't see my hear color. And what about you? You don't think the mustache isn't obvious," Brian said.
"Well I don't have a real beard so I had to use a fake mustache," Dom said.
"Ok. So what are our seats," Brian asked.
"B2 and B3 first class," Dom said handing Brian his ticket which he didn't realize had the name Smith, Tom on it. But Dom's had Deed, Fred on his.
"Let's go get those seats then," Brian said and so they did. Once they got there they put their bag in the overhead and then sat down.
"Hey Elisa," Dom said seeing her walk by.
"Hey Tom. Hey Fred," Elisa said.
"Why did she call us Fred and Tom," Brian asked after Sue left.
"That's our names on the tickets," Dom said leaning over to whisper to Brian.
"Oh," Brian said.
Brian was impressed with the first class seating. He was quite enjoying it while Dom was sleeping.
About two hours into the flight Brian finally fell asleep. He didn't wake up until around ten and only because he smelt breakfast. He looked over and saw that Dom was already awake.
"Have a nice nap," Dom asked.
"Yeah you," Brian asked.
"For the most part," Dom said.
"Fred would you like some breakfast or something to drink," Elisa asked looking at Dom.
"I'll have a coffee, eggs and bacon," Dom said.
"Ok and you Tom," Elisa asked Brian.
"I'll have the same as him," Brian said.
"Ok I'll be right back with that," Elisa said walking off.
"Ok I have to ask this. How exactly did Vince leave," Dom asked keeping his voice low so he wouldn't attract attention.
"What did he tell you," Brian asked.
"That he took a boat and he just didn't want to get off. Then how he knew where we were so he came," Dom said.
"No that's not even how it happened," Brian said chuckling.
"So how did it happen then," Dom asked.
"Well…" Brian started to say.
"Tom, Fred here is your coffee, eggs, bacon," Elisa said handing Brian and then Dom their breakfast.
"Thank you," Brian and Dom said at the same time.
"You're welcome. Do you need anything else," Elisa asked.
"No," Brian and Dom said at the same time.
"Ok now what happened," Dom asked after Elisa walked off.
"Ok I went to the hospital the day after I got out because I found out that Vince was still there. So I went to the hospital and found out what room he was in. There were two cops guarding the door. He was chuffed to the bed 24/7 and his door was locked from the outside at night. But he had a key so he could go to the bathroom at night. But he had no window so he couldn't escape," Brian said.
"Ok the thing that doesn't make sense is how did you know that he was still in the hospital," Dom asked.
"Tanner told me," Brian said.
"Ok what's up with you and Tanner," Dom asked.
"What do you mean," Brian asked.
"Well you two just seem to be more then uncle and nephew. It's almost like he's your father," Dom said.
"No he's just a really nice uncle. See he never got married so I was like his son to him. He's the one that got me into street racing. He took me a couple of times and I got hooked on it then," Brian said.
"I bet your mom wasn't too happy with him," Dom said.
"No she wasn't real happy with him," Brian said.
"Ok so how did you two come up with the plan," Dom asked.
"Well see he told me that there was a camera in the room which I found out was really just a tape recorder. So we were writing everything that we didn't want the cops to see. Because see they thought I was Vince's bro. It took me a day and a letter to figure out where you guys were meeting. After I found out I got it set up with that dirt ball Sean," Brian said.
"Not a good friend of yours," Dominic asked.
"He's not anymore. I'll tell you what happened along with the rest of the story, ok," Brian asked.
"Sure go ahead," Dom said.
"Ok like I was saying Sean and I got it set up. But the problem ended up being that the day I thought Vince was getting out turned out to be the wrong day. But thankfully it worked out. See the plan was I'd go get Vince after the cops went off duty because there was no one at the door from 12 to 5. So I got there a little early to make sure it all worked out. While Vince was changing I stuffed the bed and set the tape up that had my breathing on it. After that we left and I thought that it was working out great. I found out from my uncle that they did get the plat number which was his car I was borrowing. He knew what was going on," Brian said.
"Why didn't he stop you," Dom asked.
"Let's just say that my uncle hadn't been the cleanest cop in the last couple of years. If it wasn't for him then I'd still be in jail but he got me off at two months. The funny part is that he's trustworthy when it's not me that's in trouble. Anyhow the plan was that Vince and I would meet Sean and Steve at a truck stop. Vince would get into the back of the truck and he would take him to Texas. Then Dick and Charley would take him to New York. From there John made sure that he got into France. Then another person took him to Italy where they left him to fend for his own," Brian said.
"So how did you get him to the truck," Dom asked.
"I knocked him out and Sean and I put him there," Brian said.
"Vince is a pretty tough fighter so how did you really do it," Dom asked.
"No I did it's because one I was wearing brass knuckles and second there's been a lot of anger building up for the last year and a half. I just released it all on him," Brian said.
"Hmm. So what about this Sean guy," Dom asked.
"I found out from John that he ratted us out. All he wanted was the money. The funny part is the cop fell for it that Charley and Dick had Vince's dead body in another truck," Brian said.
"So what happened to Sean," Dom asked.
"I went and punched his lights out. Let's just say that he hadn't came to see me since Vince left," Brian said.
"Knock him out for awhile," Dom asked.
"A day and a half. I didn't break anything because I hit him upside the head with a wooden bat," Brian said.
"Didn't think you had it in you," Dom said.
"Usually don't in less someone pisses me off enough or are putting my family or me in danger," Brian said.
"Hmm I know how that is. By the way those letters you got were from Vince he had the right idea for the wrong reason. It's been hard for him to see Mia with someone else then him," Dom said.
"I was wondering what was up with the letters. Long as he hasn't been trying to get her to go out with him since he's been there I'll forgive him. I know how it goes," Brian said.
"No he's not tried to ask her out. Letty would have had a few words with him if he had tried," Dom said.
"That's good to hear. I was just wondering how did you guys decide where you were going to meet," Brian asked.
"Letty had always wanted to go there so I said that we would someday. Then when we started doing to boost she decided that we were going to have to leave. So we contacted a friend of mine and he set it up," Dom said.
"Oh," Brian said.
So the rest of the trip was spent either sleeping or reading.
By time Brian and Dom got to Italy they both hungry again.
"Ready to go home," Dom asked after they got off the plane.
"I've been ready for the last 16 hours," Brian said.
"Then let's go," Dom said and they headed outside where Vince was waiting.
"Hey man you look ridicules," Vince said hugging Dom.
"Hey yourself. I don't look as bad as Brian does though. How is everyone," Dom asked.
"They're good. Mia's been a little down because she's really missing Brian. You look worse then he does," Vince said.
"Well she won't have to for much longer. I know I look bad," Dom said taking off the fake mustache.
"No she won't. Looks a lot better," Vince said.
"Thanks," Dom said.
"Ok ready to go," Vince asked after Brian and Dom put their bag in the trunk.
"Yes," both of them said and with that the three men left of the house.
