SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE I HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL.
ANYWAYS, I WILL BE FOLLOWING ONE MOVIE AND THEN ITS GOING SOLO. SO JUST BARE WITH ME.
I HOPE YOU LIKE THE CHAPTER, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANYTHING CHANGE OR NOT.
Everyone, but Vance were released within the week of Dom's disappearance. Letty as we all knew didn't take it all too well. She packed her stuff and left, didn't say where or if we were ever going to see her again. It hurt a lot seeing the woman that helped my brother raise me leave. Jesse had asked if he could stay and live with me, I didn't mind and apparently neither did Johnny. In fact, they both became…I wouldn't say good friends, but they tolerated each other. Jesse still worked on cars and help built them, only this time it was for Tran. Mia also stayed with me, but for about a week only. She then took Jesse and moved back into the old house. It was lonely without the others, but it was home. We still saw each other every day, as time went by Mia stopped calling Johnny, Tran. Now it was either jackass or Johnny. Vance was released a month later, he like Letty took off. I at least knew he was heading off to Rio and he would keep in touch.
It had been two years since everything that has happened and I being me though all was done with. Wow was I wrong.
A year before:
I was with Mia and Jesse. Jesse was doing some weird shit to my bike, making me cringe at every touch.
"So any news of the AWOL of the family?" I asked Mia, glaring at Jesse.
Mia shrugged. "Vance is married in Rio. I haven't heard from letty or Leon. As for Dom it looked like he had contact with Vance, but that is all I know."
I simply nodded. The news was always the same. I knew about Vance and the others, but as for Dom it looked like he had contact with everyone, but me. I jumped at the sudden bang my bike made. "Why don't you just shoot it and put it out of its misery." Jesse smirked from behind the bike, as Mia took me by the shoulders.
"Okay, let's go inside before you shoot Jesse." Mia laughed.
Grumbling I allowed myself to be pulled away from my baby. They should know just how much I loved that bike. As I was being pulled across the lawn I smiled at the familiar Honda pulling up the drive way. Johnny climbed out of the car, causing me to freeze at the sight. His shirt was covered in blood, he himself was a mess. He stopped no more than four feet away, looking down at the ground. The last time he did was when they told me Lance was killed five mon-oh god.
He must have seen the recognition in my eyes, because all he did was pull me into a hug. I held him tight, trying the best I could to give my support. His entire body shook from his cries, as we both fell to the ground. Looking over his shoulder I spotted Akin. He had tears rolling down his cheeks, wiping them away as if it were a bad thing. Holding my hand out for him, he ran into me holding on tight. I don't remember how long we stayed there, but it wasn't until Mia grabbed Akin and Jesse helped me take Johnny inside.
Once Akin was asleep, Johnny told us everything that had happened. They had taken Akin to the park, Ally and him. He said it all happened to fast, one moment it was all laughter and the next shots were being fired. Grabbing Akin and Ally they took cover until it was all over. When he looked down Ally was cover in blood, she had received a bullet in the chest. Johnny didn't even get a chance to say good bye to her.
When I asked him who they were. He told me they were the same one's that attacked him, killed Lance and did the drive-by. They were pissed off since the deal, apparently they didn't care if the product was good or not. They wanted their money.
That year was mostly hell for us. After the funeral papa and mama Tran decided to go back to Tokyo, they left Akin in our custody seeing as I was his real aunt. They were hopeful that Dom would want to meet his son. Johnny had finally gotten his revenge on the rival clan, but now the heat was on us. The cops had no way of proving he cause the accident, but they were keeping a close eye on him. Mia then left that year, Brian had come back and taken her. I didn't judge nor did I ask, but I did feel abandon. At least I still had Jesse with me. Along that time Johnny broke the one rule we had, I became involved in his business. I was more of handling the cars, then dealing with what he did. Plus, he made a new rule, I was to never leave his side. Bummer.
PRESENT:
Picking my up my phone I walked into the living room where Mia sat beside Brian. Akin was on the ground playing with his toys. As for Johnny well he was out doing who knows what. They had shown up out of the bloom, for a so call visit.
"How have you been?" Mia asked.
I just shrugged. "I've been okay, Akin has been keeping me company." Raising my left hand, I showed her my ring. "Johnny asked me to marry him."
"No way!" Mia pulled me into a gentle hug.
"Yeah." The silence took over the room once more. "Okay, you know I hate the awkward silence. Why are you here?"
Mia was taken back by my tone of voice. "I just wanted to see you Eli."
"Bullshit Mia. If that were the case, you wouldn't have brought him." I pointed to Brian, she knew I still disliked the man. "You left without saying anything and not telling me where you were going. So sorry if I don't believe you."
Mia sighed. "We need your and Tran's help."
Now that caught my attention. "In that case we need to wait until Johnny gets back." The couple nodded. Having called Johnny, he arrived in less than ten minutes. "Now explain."
Brian cleared his throat. "We are planning on pulling a job. Dom and I have planned on stealing the money belonging to one of the most powerful men in Rio. We need you and Tran's help to pull it off."
Unlike Johnny, I was stuck on the one name I haven't heard in years. "Dom?"
Mia glanced at me with pity. "Yes, our brother."
"He may be yours Mia, but he stopped being mine a long time ago." Johnny pulled me into his side, knowing how much of a sore spot this was. "Why don't you ask Letty for help, I'm sure she is more qualified than me."
Mia shared a look with Brian. "Letty died in a race accident Eli."
I felt my entire world come down, I loved that woman so much. "How is Dom?"
"He's coping, as we all are." Mia whispered. "Eli we need to know if you are coming?"
Looking at Johnny he gave me a small nod, but then I remembered about Akin. "What about Akin? We can't take him with us."
"When do we need to be there?" Johnny asked.
"Everyone is gathering tomorrow in Rio." Brian answered.
Johnny looked down at me. "I will have Chan take him to Tokyo with my parents. After all of this is over we will bring him back."
"Alright we are in."
Mia and Brian left that same night. We packed and got everything ready, Chan picked Akin up and took him to the airport. I would miss him a lot, but there was no way I could bring him with me.
By the time we arrived at the warehouse everyone was there. Mia, Brian, a group of people, and Dom. Apparently he didn't know I was coming, based on the look he got the moment I took my helmet off. Johnny stood beside me, his arm around my waist and eyes fixed on the males.
"Glad you can make it." Mia smiled. "Here let me introduce everyone to you."
She pointed to a dark skinned man dressed in leather. "This is Roman."
He walked up to, completely ignoring Johnny at my side. "Sexy legs girl, when do they open."
Stopping Johnny from doing anything, I swiped my leg across his. Knocking him on the ground, placing my boot on his throat. Pulling the hand gun Johnny gave me out I smirked at the fear that crossed his features. "About the same time I pull this trigger. Want me to open them?" The Latin brother's on the side snickered.
Mia gave me a warning look, with a shrug I took a few steps back. Johnny glared down at the man. "This Is Tej."
"What's up." He was much better looking than Roman and appeared to be easier to get along with.
"And these are Santos and Tego." Mia gestured to the Hispanic males. "Guys this is my sister and her fiancé Johnny Tran." I didn't miss the way Dom's eyes widen at announcement.
"You got a baby sister and I didn't even now of?" Tej accused.
"My fault, I haven't been that much in contact with them." I said.
Roman turned to Johnny. "What about you pretty boy? Don't you speak?"
"Unlike you I speak when I have to, that way I don't say stupid shit." Right then I knew these two would have problems.
Dom cleared his throat. "Let's get started. I know you are all wondering as to why I called you here."
"You got that right." Tej mumbled. "Why you make us drive half way across the world man?"
"Because we got a job." Dom said.
We gathered around a table, on the table laid a map. "Target's name is Reyes; he runs the drug scene down here. Never been busted and doesn't leave a paper trail Brian began."
"No paper trail means no banks; no banks mean safe houses." I said.
Brian nodded. "That's right. He has them spread thru out the city."
"And we're going to hit them all." Dom popped up beside me, causing me to jump.
Tej knitted his eyebrows together. "All of them?"
"All of them."
"Sound's crazy, brings us all over the country so we can rob the dude that runs it?" Roman scoffed. "I thought this was business? Sounds personal to me. Is that what this is? I got love for all ya, but personal ain't good business." I had to handed to him, he did have a point. "I can't do this homie." Roman began walking away.
Dom just began talking once more, his voice louder than before. "So what we are talking about is 100 million dollars." Roman stopped walking.
"You say what?" Johnny shook his head a the immaturely of the man. "You see sometime I be overthinking man and ah I know we just met, but you can't just-just-"
Dom ignored him. "100 million dollars and everything we take, we split even."
"so 11 million apiece. I am down." Tej smirked.
"I in." Santos and Leo nodded.
"11 million dollars, that sounds like a lot of vaginal activity to me." Roman gushed, giving me the once over again.
Gross! Turing to Dom I sighed. "You can't pull off ten heist on the same mark. You just can't."
"The moment you hit the first one, they are going to do everything they can the protect the rest." Johnny spoke up.
Dom smiled. "Exactly."
After telling us what we were going to do, we all got ready to take down one of the safe houses. As I got my gear on, Johnny came up from behind. Making sure my vest was on right and gun had the safety off.
"Stay beside me, okay?" Even thou I could take care of myself, this was beyond anything I have ever done.
"Promise." Giving him a kiss we loaded up in the car. Feeling a set of eyes on me I turned to see Dom staring at me. Giving him a nod I jumped into the car. Everything went by fast, breaking into the safe house, securing the house. Dom burning the money and sending the message thru one of the workers. Now all we had to do was wait. It didn't take long before Reyes began moving his money.
"Ya ain't going to believe this." Tej's voice came thru the radio. Meeting him up on the roof he was in.
I groaned. "You have got to be shitting me."
"Well this job just got a lot harder." Brian said.
"We can't do this." Santos whined.
Johnny scoffed beside me, he knew Dom and Dom wasn't one to back down. "can't? You mean shouldn't."
As always Roman blew everything over proportion when Dom told us we were sticking to the plan. Brian had to go after the big child. Once we were back in the warehouse Mia brought the police stations plans. The money was being kept in a vault inside the evidence room. So the plan was getting a pair of eyes inside that room.
Roman began mumbling to himself. "And who is going to do that?" Brian looked at all of us before settling his eyes on Roman. "Wh-what do you mean? Why me?"
"Because you got the biggest mouth." Brian smirked.
"That is a damn shame." Johnny whispered beside me. Giving him a nudge I laughed earning all eyes on me.
"Sorry."
We all stayed behind while roman, Tej and Brian went to do what they were going to do. Johnny and I were sitting on the couch watching a little tv, when I noticed Dom alone by the window. Giving Johnny a smile I walked over to my brother.
"Hey."
Dom turned to me. "Hey."
Now what do you say to your brother after almost three years. "So besides pulling job's off, what else is new?"
Dom chuckled. "Not a lot, just trying to survive." The silence took over once more. "So your engaged?"
"Yes, Johnny asked me a couple of months ago. One of the few good things that happened." I looked out the window, Rio was a beautiful city.
"Mia told me about Ally." Dom whispered.
"Yeah, they were after Johnny. So after killing off Lance, his sister and almost him. Johnny went after them." suddenly I was pulled into a tight hug. Oh god how I missed this, memories of when I was a little girl came rushing into me. wrapping my arms around his waist I held on, I was afraid that if I let go he would leave again. "I missed you Dom."
Dom took in a deep breath. "I know Eli, I did too." Pulling back, he cupped my jaw. "And I am really sorry. I was an idiot for what I did to you. I didn't understand then what I do now."
Trying to hold back the tears, I pulled him in for another hug. "When this is over you and I are going to have a long chat." Feeling his entire body shake with laughter, Dom gave me a kiss on the head.
"Defiantly."
Even though this was the worst place to make amends, Dom and I spend the day catching up. By the time the trio got back I was asleep with my head in Dom's lap. Unfortunately for me I missed the man to man Dom had with Johnny, from what I heard from the brothers and Mia they were close to throwing punches. Well it is all about taking baby steps after all. To say it all I slept thru everything, until I heard a pair of cars approach. Looking up from the couch I saw Dom and Brian show up.
The entire day we spent driving cars, testing them to see which one car pass the cameras. Not to brag or anything, but I was the best driver. Guess I get that from Dom.
"That was good solid work, but I think camera three got you." Roman sassed.
Giving Johnny a smirked I jumped back into the car. "Let's do it again." But no matter how much we tried, we never seemed to beat it. Half way thru the test a delivery truck, showed up with a huge crate.
Johnny signed off the man as the boys got to opening it.
Tej looked at my man, to the safe and back. "Where in the hell do you get one of these?"
Johnny smirked. "I had a life before you met me."
That got me thinking as to what was going to happen after all of this was over. That presuming we made it out alive. Johnny and I were going to be a fugitives of the law, ironic seeing as this was precisely what my brother and fiancé always tried keeping me from.
"Alright, I'll start working on it." Tej sighed. "One problem though, without Reye's hand print Houdini himself couldn't open this up."
"And how are we supposed to get his hand print?" Roman asked.
Yawning I leaned against Johnny. "We can always cut off his hand." Everyone looked at me with raised eye brows. "What I get a little psychotic with little sleep."
"Tran!" Dom called. "You're up."
"Always did like the easy stuff." Johnny mumbled.
Looking up at Dom I smiled. "Let's go, I'm driving."
