Miami FL

Toretto Mansion Grounds

Darryl's POV

Well, I guess there are such things as miracles. Because what transpired last week is nothing anybody could have survived. For that, I will always be grateful and cherish life a lot more. Especially since I was prone to believe that none of my family survived. Anyways, after being picked up by rescue helicopters the search began. One by one everyone was located safely and we all reunited. What a bittersweet reunion!, I probably hugged Brian for at least an hour! Might have been longer if he didn't have to use the bathroom. I just couldn't help myself!, I never want to experience anything more terrifying ever again. But of course there were moments with the whole family that happened concurrently; One of which is taking place right now…..On the grounds of what use to be The Toretto Mansion.

_Fast & Furious Family Chronicles_

"I can't believe it," Brian said in a shocking manner "It's all gone"

"Just like that and…..Poof!, our mansion gets destroyed" Roman said

Dom and Tej headed into the knee-deep pile of rubber, Both examining what had remained

"Do you think anything survived Dom?" Letty asked curiously

"I don't believe so" He responded sadly

Tej, who was now a further distance away held up a black safe in the air.

"Looks like our luck is starting to start!"

The family toppled over to Tej with great eagerness. They were all overdue for some good news.

"Open that bad baby up!" Roman exclaimed

"With pleasure" Tej smirked as he punched in the four-digit code

The safe beeped but unfortunately, water came rushing out; leaving behind only crumbled and or ripped bills.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Mia projected irritably "HOW?!, JUST HOW?!"

"My thought exactly Mia. Isn't this safe suppose to hold protection against water?" Ramsey inquired

"So only a safe filled with water damaged money survived? Just…..Fantastic" Alyssa added sarcastically

Now what?, How does the crew on from here?

So many questions, With limited resources.

River Park Hotel

Tallahassee FL

Nobody's POV

A few days later after the painful trip on Toretto mansion grounds, The Crew decided on staying at a hotel in the meantime. It's one of the best one but with limited resources, you're stuck with shitty choices. However, their stay at River Park may soon come to a complete circle, faster than anyone cared to admit.

The date was January 15 around 10:00 am. Dom had gone out on a coffee run for him and Letty. Upon his return not only did he bring coffee, But rather some very compelling news.

"Here's your coffee: three creams and three sugars" Dom said handing his wife the paper cup

"Thank you" Letty responded before a taking a brief sip "Mmmm…...That's good. What's in your hand?"

"Its today's newspaper. I was just browsing through it when I came upon this"

Dom flipped to the wanted ad section and pointed to ad boxed which read:

NEEDED: PARTICIPANTS FOR AN ULTIMATE SUPER RACE. TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI FLORIDA DUE TO DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY HURRICANE ZAYDEN.

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS JANUARY 16 2014, RACE BEGINS SAT JAN 18 2014 12:00 P.M IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES CA.

GRAND PRIZE ($10,000)

"An ultimate super-race?" Letty questioned curiously

"Yep. This could be our chance for a fresh start, what do you think?"

"Well….I'd say go for it. You know our family go never say no to a race"

"My point exactly dear wife. Besides when people find out I'm racing, ratings will skyrocket and the money will just be pouring in"

"That is true. But what are you gonna for a car?"

"I have an idea that just might work"

'Alright then I guess we're heading to LA"

"Fantastic!, I'll tell you the others"

Letty's face beam with joy as she saw her husband leave the room.

"Los Angeles here we come"

She took another sip of her coffee and sighed in sweet relief "Ahhhh"

Downtown Los Angeles CA

11:55 a.m

Dom's POV

Well, here I am….five minutes away till showtime. Not gonna lie, I am slightly nervous about the outcome of this race. Because many are depending on me to win. Not only the $10,000 prize but also Miami. Whatever money is raised goes straight to them. But now isn't a time to start worrying about things. My head needs to be clear and focused only on this race. But with my family's support, anything is possible.

"Hey" a familiar voice called out

I turned to see Mia approaching me

"Hey sis"

She instantly could tell was wrong "You okay?"

"Yeah, just a tad nervous. I don't understand why this has never happened before"

"There's always a first time for everything. But you're gonna do great out there. Especially after spending hours modifying this junkyard Mustang, you'll be unstoppable"

"That's true"

I examined around the area for Brian but he was nowhere to be seen

"Where's your better half?"

"He was here a second ago. Guess I'll have to go find him"

"ATTENTION EVERYONE! THE ULTIMATE SUPER-RACE WILL BEGIN IN 60 SECONDS. ALL NON PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ON THE SIDELINES STARTING NOW!"

"Well, I guess that's my cue" Mia stated "Good luck Dom and remember…...You got this!"

"Thanks, Mia. I'll see you at the finish line" I said

The sixty seconds ended instantly and with that…...I took off with a purpose.

Nobody's POV

While Dom was racing on ground level, up above was: Letty, Ramsey, Tej & Roman via helicopter. Since they couldn't be physically in the car with him, this was the next best option. Things seemed to be going quite well, however, the crew might have spoken too soon. Because off in the near distance stood James O'Connor & Carter Verone.

"Do you think Brian made it to the house?" Carter asked with curiosity

"Well let's go check. If I know my son, he can't resist walking down memory lane" James said with a smirk "Besides, I'm also certain that Mia will soon join him"

"Making everything according to plan"

"Those fools won't know what him…..Till it's too late"

"Wait….what about your other son?"

"Darryl?, Oh I heard he showing Parker's sister around LA. They won't be back until tonight"

"Excellent!"

"Yes…...excellent indeed"

Silver Fox High School

12:05 P.M

Darryl's POV

"Are you sure you want to do this Darryl?" Alyssa asked me for millionth time

"I'm positive Alyssa!" I assured her "If I want to visit my friends during school hours, then I'm gonna have to face this fear"

"Alright. I'll be right here by your side" She added gleefully

"Thank you"

As we made our way through the halls, all those memories from the first day came flooding in

Flashback

You would think that by the constant screams of terror, someone was bound to come out and help. Well, that definitely not the case here. Marcus and I have been running for what seemed like years. The mysterious man continued to launch grenades at us. We were able to dodge them all successfully. Marks of destruction could be seen all over. Trophies, chunks of the wall, windows, hallways all obliterated.

The trophy case had been fixed but, there was still obvious grenade blast markings plastered all about. Then I remember collapsing upon reaching the second floor and Marcus…..nearly lost his life trying to protect me.

Marcus jumped in front of me and boldly yelled: "OVER MY DEAD BODY!; YOU'RE NOT GONNA LAY ONE FINGER ON DARRYL!"

Owen laughed darkly and then picked up Marcus by his throat; choking him with all his strength

"LET HIM GO!" I yelled

He then kicked me dead square in the face. I covered my face with aching pain and agony. Blood started to pour out my nose.

(End of Flashback)

Oh, that son of a bitch! Nothing makes me happier than to know he's behind bars. Now thinking of it…..I never thanked Marcus for his heroic deed. I was transported to the hospital soon and after the battle in Downtown LA, My family and I came straight to Miami. Wow…...Marcus probably thinks so little of me. I have to fix this while I'm town.

After a little more walking Alyssa and I reached the cafeteria. We walked in and scanned and searched area for my friends. Five minutes later...still nothing.

"I don't see them. Maybe they're not here today" I said sadly

"All three of them?" Alyssa said unconvinced "Come on O'Connor!, Let's do another….."

"Oh, I found them!" I said eagerly running towards them

"MARCUS!"

Marcus, Jared, and Caleb turn from their lunches with looks of confusion

"Is that Darryl?!" Jared questioned hazily

"Can't be. He lives in Miami" Caleb said

"He must be here for The Ultimate Superace" Marcus explained, "I can't believe it, he came to visit us….DARRYL!"

Marcus stands up with open arms and I take the opportunity to give him a bro hug

"I'm so sorry!"

"May I ask what for?"

"For not saying thank you when you saved my life, on the first day"

"Oh. It's alright"

"No" I simply stated looking directly at him "It's not alright. You risked your life for mine and I didn't say thank you!"

At this point I noticed my voice beginning to crack

"I know you appreciated it because you're that type of person. Besides you've would have done the same thing for me. We all would have, right guys?"

Jared, Caleb & Alyssa nodded in agreement

"Well...at least let me treat you to an outing"

"An outing you say?" Caleb asks "Like old times?"

"Just like old times. Alyssa, I hope you don't mind being the only girl"

Alyssa waves it off with a blithe expression "I'm just happy to be included"

"So it's settled it. After School, we're going out"

"Do you have any ideas in mind?" Jared asked

"I might have a few"

O'Connor Household

Los Angeles CA

Nobody's POV

While Darryl & Alyssa were out and about, Brian & Mia had returned to their old house to reminisce.

"Seems as if were yesterday," Brian said looking around the house

"It really does" Mia called out from another room

"So many memories. I've missed this place so much"

Brian sits down on the couch and upon impact, a dust cloud hits him hard. Causing the older blond to enter a coughing fit. Mia comes into the living room to check on her fiancé.

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah. Just didn't realize how dusty this place would be"

"You think this room is bad? the kitchen is a lot worse. I'm afraid to open the fridge"

Brian chuckles and kisses Mia's forehand "Do you know how Dom's doing in the race?"

"I actually don't. Let's turn on the news"

"Alright"

Brian turns on the tv and directly to channel 15

The Ultimate Superace began just around 12-noon Pacific time & each racer has given it their all. Especially living legend Dominic Toretto, who has managed to keep in between the top three slots since the beginning.

"YEAH!" Brian exclaimed

"Keep up the good work Dom!" Mia added happily

As the couple continued watching, James & Carter were crouched down in the bushes surrounding the living room window.

"You ready?" James asked

"Yep. Let's do this"

James pulled out a tiny dart and shot it right through the window…...Which landed right in Brian's neck.

The Older blond's face scrunched up for a brief moment…..Before toppling over and landing on the carpeted floor. From there he began to seizure and foam poured from his mouth. Mia in a panic went down to Brian's side.

"BRIAN!...BRIAN!...PLEASE STAY WITH ME…...i'M GONNA GET…."

Mia was interrupted by a dart stabbing her neck. Seconds later she began to seize up as well, followed by passing out on top of Brian's chest.

Once they knew the coast was clear, James and Carter emerged from the bushes.

"Wow…..that was too easy!" Carter stated

"My thoughts exactly. Let's hurry up and get inside"

To be continued…..

Stay tuned for Part 2 of The Ultimate Super Race. Which will also be the conclusion of Season 3.

Until next time,
