Chapter 4

Brian was unsure of what to do anymore; it was going to be time for him and Rome to move once more. Could he do it though? Could he keep running? He knew that it would be safer for him, but if he was going to have a kid he couldn't keep running. He couldn't show his baby the life he had, it had never been a good one for him; and it would never be a good one for his child. He couldn't do it alone though, if he was going to face De Angelo then he was going to need help to either put him behind bars or kill him. Brian looked at the two photos he had taken from the Toretto household. It had been the only thing that had kept him from doing something he might regret later on.

"Bri?" Rome's voice came suddenly.

Brian turned to look at his friend and smile slightly before motioning the other to sit next to him on the couch.

"I was just looking at the photos of the family I told you about, it'll be the only way my baby meets his father," Brian said as he showed his friend both photos.

In one of them he was standing with the whole team in front of the car that they had fixed together. Dom had an arm around his waist, it was the only picture he had given consent too. He wondered if Dom still had the one he had taken without permission, Brian remembers being angry at the man. He somehow knew that De Angelo would get his hands on a more resent photo of him.

'Never allow anyone to take a photo of you. It's the only way we will stay safe from De Angelo.'

Brian stilled remembered his mother telling him.

"You look happy," Rome said he returned the photos to Brian.

"Yeah, I was the most happy with them since I had to leave Barstow," Brian consented as he looked at the one photo he had taken of Dom while the man had been working on one of the cars in the garage.

Dante wanted to know where his precious treasure was hiding; he had never been a patient man when it came to having what he wanted. What he wanted at the moment was to have Brian O'Conner at his side once more. It had been too long since he had seen the blonde, and now that he had seen how he looked he wanted more than ever. The blonde had become a beautiful being with his blue eyes; and Toretto would pay for laying a figure on what was his.

'Maybe it will be a good lesson for my precious treasure so he won't run away again. Yes, a suitable punishment for both.'

Dante watched as his second in command entered his office, the man was a strong one. They had met at a moment when Dante was gaining power. The man standing in front of him was the only one Dante trusted, but even with that trust Dante knew that one had to watch their own back. You never know when someone is going to turn against you even with so many years of having each other's back.

"It seems that Toretto is also looking for O'Conner, no luck for him though. It's as if O'Conner never existed."

"He'll appear you'll see," Dante said with a smirk. "He'll move again and again, but even when he keeps doing it. I'll find my precious treasure, he'll be mine."

Dom knew that he was worrying his family but at the moment he didn't care; all he wanted was to find Brian and bring the blond back home. As his brown eyes looked at the orange supra he wondered if the blonde was thinking of him as well or if he had run away to never return to him. Making everything they had meaningless. Dom shook his head slightly as closed his eyes, the memory of how they met coming to his mind.

Flashback

Dom was ready to race, Hector and Edwin had told him there was a new racer in town wanting to race with the best. Dom didn't know who it was or if it was worth racing the other at all, but 5k was always welcome to his home especially when he wanted to buy new parts for their cars. When it seemed like the other wouldn't be arriving a new car could be heard approaching; Dom watched as a green eclipse stop next to him, the windows tinted black that Dom couldn't see who was inside.

Before Dom could question anything Edwin stood in front of them getting his attention at once; he knew that the racers were betting among themselves. It wasn't something new, what was new was that Dom hadn't even met his competitor. Maybe at the end of the race Dom would meet whoever was inside the green eclipse; it would be ten long seconds of that Dom was sure.

Dom press down on the gas as Edwin gave the signal to race, they were off at once and Dom had to admit that whoever was driving the eclipse was a good racer. They were head to head for a few seconds, neither giving up on having the first place. As they approached the finish line Dom had to smirk as he press down on his NOS, but he was surprised to see that the other did the same thing at the same time. Dom stopped his car and got off; he looked towards Edwin and Hector. Both men had surprised looks on their faces and he wondered if he had lost; he looked towards his family and noticed that they were also wearing surprised looks.

"So?" Dom questioned as the door to the eclipse opened.

"You tied," Hector answered as he was the first to snap out of it. "You tied."

Dom looked towards the owner of the green eclipse and had to stop himself from allowing his mouth to drop. The blonde man standing in front of him was beautiful; there were really no other words for it.

"That was a good race man," the blonde said with a smile.

"Never seen you around," Dom countered as his body reacted to the blonde like it hadn't acted before he was in his teens and just learning that he was attracted two both genders.

"Just got to town, I'll win next time," the blonde said as he got in his car and drove away.

End-of-Flashback

Dom smiled slightly as he returned to the present; he hadn't even known Brian's name and he had already been falling in love with the blonde. He remembered his surprised at find Brian working at Harry's but what had gotten to him even more was that Brian hadn't really shown any interest in his title but in the man that he was. Brian's easy smile had made Dom want to get that smile directed at him more often, and while it had taken time and persistence Dom had done it. Brian had accepted to be with him.

'Stay safe my Snowman, I shall find you even if it's the last thing I shall do.'

Anaki: Well here is chapter 4, and since I took a while to type this one before I brought it to you guys I can't promise that I'll update next week. I'll try though cause that's what I'll be doing. Doesn't mean there'll be one; since like I said before the chapters seem to become harder to write as the story progresses. I do hope that you guys liked it and that the wait was worth it. :)

Until next time :)
