Chapter 2

Brian knew that if he wasn't truthful with his friend the other would know, but he didn't know if he could trust his friend with a past that he had kept from everyone. His mother had kept him hidden since he had turned ten years-old. She had told him that his father had helped her escape the danger before he was killed; after that it was moving from one play to another always keeping their head down so they could stay in one play longer. They always end up moving though, and now he had no choice but to do the same with his baby. As the blonde looked in his friend's direction he knew that he could trust the man, but would the other would want to stay with him after finding out how dangerous it was to stay with him.

'I just hope that Dom can forgive me if he ever finds out,' Brian thought as the day drew to a close.

It wouldn't be long that he'll have to tell his friend why he had to leave and keep moving. He would have to move again soon, the longest time he had stayed had been in L.A. with Dom and his family. He had sworn to only stay there for a few months, and those months had turned to three years. Brian closed his eyes as he felt tears coming forth; those years had been the happiest of his life. Now he would never have them back.

"It's time to leave Bri," Rome's voice came suddenly.

Brian looked at the clock and noticed that he had lost time by only standing in front of the car without doing anything to it.

Dom cursed as he kept working on the cars that were brought in by people around his neighborhood. It was never too much work, and he loved to help the people that lived there. He never gave a high price like other mechanics did; and he knew that the people liked that about them. Several were close friends and would sometimes stop by to see how everyone was doing. While it wasn't something that Dom minded he didn't want to see the pity and questions in their eyes as they noticed that Brian wasn't around anymore. Hector and Edwin had asked the moment they noticed at the beginning; they had even sworn to help to look for the blond. Dom had told them it was okay to do so, but he had a feeling that Brian wouldn't like to have his face ever where so Dom had requested the two racers to only ask around if there was any new racers in the scenes.

"Dom, you can't allow yourself to be like this just because we haven't found Brian," Mia's voice came from the doorway of the garage.

"I've been trying to figure out why he left, but nothing comes to my mind. I thought he was happy here," Dom said as he ran a hand over the neon-orange supra.

"You aren't the only one Dom," Mia said entering the garage farther. "He looked so happy compared to the times he visited the store in the beginning."

"Then why leave like nothing was even real to him? Why is hiding from us when all I want it to make him happy?"

"Have you ever thought that he might not be hiding from us but from someone else?" Mia asked knowing that her brother hadn't thought of that.

"Leave me alone Cara Mia," Dom said after a long silence.

Mia sighed and left the garage knowing that she had given her brother something else to think. Dom didn't look away from the car as he took out a photo he always carries around with him. Making sure he wasn't the small photo was in good condition Dom looked down, only to meet surprised blue eyes. Dom could still remember Brian getting angry at him for taking his picture; the blonde never really liked photos and Dom had always wondered the reason behind it. Now that his sister had mention the possibility of Brian having to hide from someone else he wonder if the blonde had lied to them about who he was.

'No, I can't think like that,' Dom thought as he looked at the small photo. 'I could always tell when he was lying, and I knew he was hiding something but I never pressured him. Maybe I should have done that.'

Black eyes looked at the photo that was given to him by one of his contacts; it seemed that his precious treasure had finally shown himself. He hadn't changed much from when he was younger; his blue eyes seemed to stand out on his face. His black eyes narrowed as he saw that he had an arm around his waist.

"Well well it seems that you have been a naughty boy. I'll have to teach you a lesson when I find you, Brian O'Conner. No one runs away from me and you'll learn that the hard way."

Roman watched as his friend walked back and forth as he put his thoughts in order, he had seen the fear earlier when he had told his friend that it was time to leave. He had known that his friend was hiding something dangerous but he never thought it would warrant his friend to be afraid of telling him. Now though he knew that whatever he would hear would change his life and at the same time he would finally find out his friend's secret.

"Brian if you don't stop pacing I will force you myself to sit down and tell me everything," Roman finally said as he saw no end to his friend pacing back and forth.

"What I'm about to tell you Rome is not easy and it's dangerous. It's the reason why I have to keep moving around, I can't stay in one place more than a couple of months. If I stay longer I run the risk of being found," Brian said with a sigh as he sat down.

"Who is looking for you, that you have to hide from everyone that cares for you?"

"His name is Dante De Angelo."

"No fucking way!" Roman exclaimed as he stood up.
