Ekena
Chapter Five-I Am Thine Enemy
Ekena jumped, snapping out of the trance she was in when Dom and Mia dumped the dishes in the sink.
"Hey Mia," she said, "I'll do this dishes-you go chill out with the guys for once. And Letty."
"Thanks, Ekena. You comin' Dom?" Mia said, standing at the door.
"I'm gonna help Ekena with the dishes Mia. But thanks anyway." he said and Mia nodded and left.
"You don't have to help me. I'm fine by myself." Ekena said, grabbing the dishtowel from him.
"I wanna help." he said, grabbing it back. Ekena sighed and began washing the dishes, handing them to Dom to dry.
"Thanks. It did help." Ekena said, brushing the hair off her face again. She seemed to do that constantly around him. Suddenly, Ekena was pushed up against the counter and Dom's lips were smashed against hers. Her body froze in shock but her arms involuntarily snaked their way up around his neck and she deepened the kiss.
Something snapped in Ekena's mind and she pushed Dom away roughly.
"Don't do that!" she yelled, pushing past him and fleeing the house.

"How's Bullitt, Tej?"
"He ain't doin' too good, mami. He ain't come outta his room for days. I'm startin' to think the man's dead.""Don't say that, man. It's killin' me to keep'er from him, you know?"
"Yeah, I know."
"We gotta get'em out and about." Suki said, pacing in front of Brian's door. Tej sat on the floor, sprawled across the tiny hallway.
"Brian! Please come out." Suki begged, pounding on the door. No answer. "Tej-do something.""Man, get yo ass out here nigga or I'll come in dere and bring it out fo' ya!" Tej said, pounding on the door too. The door opened and Brian came out.
"Brian...shit, man." Tej said as he and Suki looked Brian up and down. His hair was limp and flat against his head, he had bags under his eyes, which were bloodshot, and he had a pale, pallidness to his skin instead of the normal golden hue it held. The blue of his eyes were almost grey and he looked like he hadn't eaten in days-which he hadn't. Tej and Suki looked at each other, wondering if they should tell him about Ekena for his own health or not. Suki had just decided to open her mouth when her cell phone rang. She answered it and her face became concerned as she talked to the person on the phone.
'Who is it?' Tej mouthed at her.
'Ekena.' she mouthed back.
'What's up?' he mouthed.
'I don't know-she's crying and asking me not to hang up. She sounds like she's in trouble.'
'Ask her if she wants to talk to Brian.' Tej mouthed and Suki said something into the phone.
"Brian. Somebody wants to talk to you." Suki said, handing him the phone. He looked at it and sighed, grabbing it and snapping "Hello?"
"Brian? Brian, help me, please." begged the voice and Brian dropped the phone in shock. The phone hit the ground and bounced down the stairs, hitting the bottom with a dull thud and making the battery fly out.

Earlier....
Ekena wiped the tears streaking her face away roughly, trying to see the road. She had no idea where she was going and she didn't care at the moment. She just had to get away from Dom as far as she possibly could. Her feelings for him had shot up by about a hundred points when they'd kissed but she'd panicked and run out.
"Damn...I can't...not with him..." she said to herself, turning the volume of her radio up to the max and letting the music pound in her head. Ekena drove deep into the night when she decided to go back to the house and face everyone. She pulled up to a dark house and cursed-she'd forgotten it was race night. So she pulled back out and headed to the races, pulling up and looking for the team.
Someone grabbed her from behind and she screamed, only to be cut off by someone's hand over her mouth. The person dragged her down a dark alley and into a building. The person threw her into a small room and pulled the door shut before she could see them. She jumped up and tried to open the door but it was locked. She kept struggling with the door before she gave up and felt around for her cell phone. She needed to talk to Suki-Suki would calm her down. Ekena dialed Suki's number and waited. She picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?"
"Suki..." Ekena said, her voice shaking audibly.
"What's wrong?" Suki said, alarm entering her voice.
"Suki-someone grab-grabbed me and shoved me in a room and locked me in. I don't-I d-don't know where I am and I'm scared and I need you not to hang up the phone okay? Please just talk to me and calm me down."
"Honey, calm down-why didn't you call the police? They can trace your phone." Suki asked calmly.
"I don't know-I panicked and you were the first person I thought of, Suki. I miss you and Tej and Rome and Brian-"
"Do you want to talk to Brian?"
"YES! Yes-I want to talk to Brian, Suki." she said.
"Hello?" someone snapped into the phone and Ekena nearly shit herself.
"Brian? Brian, help me, please." she said and she heard and crash. The crash was followed by a thimp-thump-thump-thump and then-the phone went dead.
"Brian?" Ekena whispered into the phone, "Brian...help me..." she begged looking at the phone sadly. She turned it off and threw it in the corner, when the knob began to move. She went to the corner farthest from the door and curled up, drawing her knees to her chest in fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mia and Vince's heads spun around as they heard a scream.
"Did you-" Mia asked.
"Yeah." Vince said, scanning the crowd and nodding.
"Do you think it was-"
"Yes. Come on." he said, grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the direction of the scream. They turned down an alley and looked around.
"Don't leave my side, okay?"
"Are you insane? Do you think I wou-"
"Shhh! Listen." Vince said, silencing Mia. The both listened hard and heard a scuffling sound from nearby. Mia walked up to the wall and put her ear against it.
'It's coming from in here.' she mouthed and Vince pointed to the door. Mia nodded and Vince approached the door. He kicked the door open and walked inside, looking for anyone at all. Something wrapped around his neck tightly and he choked. He struggled to pull whatever it was from around his neck, but he was losing consciousness. Vince heard a dull thud and the wire loosened. He pulled it off and pushed whoever it was off of him and flipped him over. Vince had never seen the guy before in his life.
"Hello?" Vince said, waving his hand in front of the guy's face.
"What the hell are you doin'?" Mia hissed, making Vince jump.
"Damn it, Mia! I'm makin' sure he's actually conked out. His eyes don't move behind their lids so he's out cold." Vince said, looking around. Light filtered into the warehouse from a single window in a door at the end of the hall. "Come on." Vince said, walking towards the door. He reached it and turned the lock. The door opened and Vince made his way inside slowly, ready to attack whatever was in the room.
"Streak?" Vince asked, staring at the figure huddled in the corner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian was freaking out.
"How long did you two know where she was?" he yelled at Suki and Tej.
"Remember the trip to Miami?" Suki asked quietly.
"She's in fucking MIAMI?" Brian yelled and Tej pushed him back a bit.
"Cool it brotha. She's living fine-"
"She didn't sound fine, Tej. In fact she sounded PRETTY FUCKING TERRIFIED THAT SHE WAS GONNA DIE!" he yelled, running a hand through his hair. "Where is she staying Suki?"
She muttered something and he asked "What?"
"She's staying with Torretto!" Suki yelled and Brian froze.
"Mia Torretto?" he asked quietly.
"Yeah-Mia Torretto, Vince and Letty. The whole team's there." she said.
"Not the whole team." Brian said, coming to terms with the fact that if he wanted to save his sister he would have to visit his past. "Pack it up. We're going to Miami." he said, determination on his face. He ran down the stairs and grabbed his keys.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ekena hugged her knees close to her chest in fear.
"Streak?" said a voice and Ekena looked up. Vince stood in the doorway, with Mia behind him.
"Streak what happened?" Vince asked, walking over and crouching down.
"Somebody grabbed me and stuffed me in here and I couldn't get out. I panicked."
"A common feeling in this sort of situat-Ekena?" Vince asked as she passed out in his arms. "Mia-go get Dom and tell him to meet me at my car alright?"
"Is she o-""Just do it!" he yelled, picking Ekena up and, noticing her phone on the ground beside her, picking her phone up too. He walked slowly back to his car and set Ekena softly in the passenger's side.
"Vince-what'd you wan-what happened to her?" Dom asked, walking up.
"Someone kidnapped her and she passed out." Vince explained, "I'm gonna take her home and try and calm her down when she wakes up." Vince said, getting in his car and driving away before Dom could protest.
*DREAM*
Ekena held Brian as he bled to death from the bullet wound in his chest. She cried as his eyes grew dark and misty, until they finally closed. She looked up and stared down the barrel of a gun. The gun went off and she screamed as she felt pain, then...
nothing....
*END DREAM*
Ekena snapped awake screaming.
"Streak! Calm down, baby girl!" Vince yelled, trying to stop her flailing.
"Vince?" she asked, squinting.
"Yeah. You passed out when we found you so I brought you home."
"Brian got shot." Ekena said, shaking uncontrollably, leaning into his embrace. Vince pulled her close and stroked her hair when something occured to him and he pushed her away, jumping up.
"Brian? As in Brian O'Conner?!" Vince asked, getting angrier and angrier by the second.
"Vince-"
"You're his SISTER?!" Vince yelled and Ekena avoided his eyes. "Fucking bitch." he spat, slamming the door as he walked out.
"Vince!" Ekena yelled after him. When he didn't respond Ekena sat in her bed and burst into tears.
Her secret was out and Vince was sure to tell the team.
A/N: Ooooooo-Vince knows Ekena is Brian's sister. What'll he do? What'll she do if the team finds out? What will Brian say when he gets to LA? These question and more answered in chapters to come!
