Chapter 3

Dante read the new information that had been brought to him, his dark eyes scanning each word twice to make sure he didn't miss anything. He knew that only few of the people that worked for him were loyal to him; there were those that were too afraid of him to do anything against him, but there were the rare one that went against him and died doing so. There had been only two that had survived him and those two were the two that he was looking for. While he didn't care much for one, he wanted Brian O'Conner with him. The little blonde was something to envy and would make a good trophy 'wife'. Many would want him for his beauty and to top that beauty he was able to bear children; something that Dante wanted so he could train his heir.

'Soon my precious treasure I shall have you with me once more. You won't escape me again.'

Dante paused at one page and had to smirk at the new report, well it seemed like his two runaways had met. Now he knew how to draw out his precious treasure; if he had to go by anything than Brian would come out to save his friend of childhood.

'It seems you have come to some use Roman.'

Brian felt a chill go down his spine as his friend told him the story of how his parents had taken Roman from Dante as well. While Roman wasn't a carrier he was a good tactician in combat and Dante would want that. Brian took a deep breath as he put his arms around his middle; it seemed that he wasn't the only one that didn't want to be near Dante at all.

"I'm also pregnant," Brian whispered as his friend finally sat down once more. "I found out a few days after I had to leave the one place I had felt safe in."

"So you are telling me that you haven't gone back to the father of your child to tell him that you two are going to be fathers?" Roman asked with a small frown on his forehead.

"If I do that I run two risks Rome," Brian defended himself.

"Which are? Cause Bri if you felt safe with the father of your child than you should be with him."

"If I go back I run the risk of him thinking that the only reason I'm returning is because I'm pregnant," Brian whispered before looking away from his friend. "The second would be De Angelo finding me and hurting them; you know how cruel he is."

"Oh man."

Brian nodded as his allowed his childhood friend to embrace him.

Vince watched as Mia tried to get Dom to leave the garage once more without success. He knew from experience that Dom wouldn't allow anyone to tell him what to do, even if that person was his sister. The only one that had done so had left and no one knew what to do; even the racer had begun to wonder about Dom and Brian's disappearance from the racing scenes. Vince knew that several of them had noticed the blonde's lack of presence in the garage as well and speculations had started to be made. If he hadn't actually gotten to know the blonde Vince would had believed several of rumors running around the racers. He knew thought that Brian would never betray Dom the way many were suggesting; he also knew that the racers were lucky that Dom hadn't heard them.

"We have to do something," Letty said as she put her arms around Vince. "I don't like to see either of them like that. Mia wants her brother back and Dom doesn't seem to even know where he is any more. He rarely leaves that damn garage anymore and the only time he does leave is to get reports from Jess."

"I know Let, but until we find the Buster and the reason he left we aren't able to do much," Vince said he looked towards Jesse.

The young computer geek was still working on his computer; looking for Brian and new ways to make their cars faster in case there is a need for it. Vince knew that Leon was starting to get worry that the younger man wasn't really taking care of himself, and if he wasn't wrong it wouldn't be long before the man revealed his actual feelings for his young companion. Brian had once told Vince that when Leon confessed his feelings for Jesse it would be because the man would finally realize that they shared the same feelings. That Jesse was only waiting for Leon to make the first move because he was a natural submissive; always trying to please Leon even when the other didn't seemed to notice.

'You'll see V, Leon won't even notice he blurt out his feelings until Jess smiles like he couldn't really believed that day had finally come.'

"I think that he was hiding from someone," Letty said bringing Vince back from remembering Brian's words.

"Yeah I believe that too, and Mia has mentioned it as well," Vince said nodding at the statement as he noticed Leon helping Jesse to his room so he could rest for a little while.

"Wonder when those two will get together."

"It might take a while for that to happen, Let."

Dom closed his eyes as he felt tears filling them up, his hands clenched into fist as he heard his sister leave him alone once more. It was taking longer than he wanted to find Brian; he wanted his blonde to be with him once more. It wasn't fair to either of them to be apart for so long, but he didn't know where else to look. No one had heard of a new racer in the past three and a half months.

'Where are you hiding Brian?'

Dom opened his eyes and looked at the only photo that Brian had consented to after Mia and Jesse had begged him for a better part of an hour. Brian had smiled as his blue eyes looked towards the camera as the picture was taken.

'I love you, Brian. So stay safe until I come for you.'

Anaki: Well here is the end of chapter 3. I really hope that the wait was worth it, and while many will wonder the long wait I'll explain myself. The hardest thing for a writer is to write the next chapter better than the previous. That's all I have to say about it. If you don't believe me you can ask any author/writer.

So don't forget to leave a review/comment. That's the only thing that keeps me writing for you guys. :)
