She Knows
Emma opened her eyes to the sound of banging on the door and shouting. She felt the emptiness beside her almost immediately and gasped when she realized no one was in the house except her. The door suddenly opened to reveal Nicky who looked scared out of her mind. Emma called her over to the bed and Nicky got in next to her. Emma held her and stroked her hair.
"Stay here, no matter what happens, okay?" Emma asked the scared girl and she nodded to her in fear.
"Be careful, Emmy." Nicky whispered to her as she left the room. Emma grabbed a crowbar and walked to the front door with caution. She looked out the peephole and saw a muscular, tan young man. He was standing outside looking angry, but Emma being the courageous one, took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey, is Matt home?" The guy asked and Emma shook her head, lowering the crowbar.
"Who are you and why were banging on the door?" Emma asked now angry her self and she saw him run a hand through his spiky brown hair.
"I can't tell you that." He said and Emma looked livid and she spoke viciously to him.
"I am his girlfriend. I don't think he'd mind at all if you told me." Emma's tone made the man nod and he looked a little uncomfortable.
"Can I come in?" He asked her politely and she nodded and at this time Nicky came out of the back and the guy looked at her and she gasped at seeing him.
"Carson, what are you doing here? I thought that Jimbo and Jason and your boss had worked everything out. I thought it was all okay." Nicky looked scared and upset all at once. The guy stepped towards her and she fell into his open arms.
"Its okay, Nicky. We just need to straighten one more thing out." Carson was hugging Nicky when Jimbo, Jason, and Matt walked in and set down their stuff. Matt walked over to Emma and kissed her cheek and then Jason walked over to Carson with Jimbo and they went into the kitchen, leaving Nicky behind.
"Let's get out of here alright?" Emma said to Nicky after Matt had disappeared into the kitchen. Nicky nodded and Emma grabbed a bag and shoved some clothes inside and some money.
"Why are we leaving, Emma?" Nicky asked a little confused with what she was agreeing to do and Emma smiled at her and nodded slowly.
"It's just there's something going on between Matt and Carson's boss. I think it's time we go see my brother." Emma wrote a note and left quickly. Nicky had a bag of things too and they got in their cars and they pulled out quickly.
"Nicky, just follow me. We got a drive ahead of us." Emma had given Nicky an extra walkie talkie that she had with her. Emma saw Nicky nod through the rear view mirror and she continued on.
………While Back At the House……..
"Hey, where the hell are Nicky and Emma?" Jason asked his two brothers after Carson had left and they both shook their heads. Jason began to search around when he stumbled upon Emma's note and almost smashed the mirror that was on the wall next to him. At once his brothers were at his side and Matt shook his head slowly. Jimbo just about died as he realized that Nicky was with his brother's girlfriend.
"Emma went to see her brother and it's my fault for not telling her everything. It's so weird but I know that she knows. She knows about my problems. Damn. We have to get out there. Come on let's go." Matt grabbed some clothes and they all did the same thing. Within minutes they were all ready. Matt got in his car and his brothers got in with him. Within minutes they were hot on the trail.
………Hours Later and Back in Miami…….
Brian sat with Mia, Dom, Letty, Vince, Leon, Jesse, Tej, Suki, and Rome. Emma had been missing for at least two weeks, maybe three and there had been nothing. No phone calls, no letters, nothing. Brian heard an engine approaching outside and then heard the sound of car doors slamming shut. As he stood up and walked over to the door he saw her. He couldn't believe his eyes for a second. She had a young girl with her, but no Matt.
"EMMY!" Brian ran outside and met her with a hug. She jumped into his arm and realized then that Brian did care about her. He only wanted the best for her and he was just that way. But that's why she loved him.
"Where's Matt?" Brian asked her and she shook her head. She knew he was hoping in his head that she had broken up with Matt, but she smiled softly to him and gave him another hug.
"I just needed to see you again. It's kind of a stupid reason to come back. He didn't hurt me or anything but you know me." She said and he nodded in some understanding but knew she would eventually tell him later. After introductions, explanations, and hugs, Brian let Emma take Nicky upstairs where they cleaned up and went to sleep. Something wasn't right about this situation. Something was under the surface that Emma was hiding from him. He wouldn't worry about it now. He would wait for Matt to get there.
