Chapter 5

He knew that if he wanted to keep Brian safe that he would have to allow Toretto to find him first. He had never thought that Brian would find someone that would make him happy; but judging by the photo that was given as evidence not only had Brian found happiness he had also found a family. He also knew that Roman would help protect the blonde man from any danger; the man had always been a good tactician and knew how to take in every situation and how to handle each of them differently. The man would have made a good accent in De Angelo's organization; but if that had been the case they would have caught Brian long ago.

'Soon, everything will be alright soon.'

Dom looked at the small white envelope that had arrived, the only thing that it had was his name and his address. There was no return address and no way of identifying who had sent it; Dom allowed his friends to open it to make sure it didn't have anything dangerous inside. He had a feeling though that the small envelope was safe; what he didn't know was what it contained inside. He watched as Letty took out a folded white piece of paper and handed it to him. Getting himself under control Dom took the paper and unfolded it. He looked at his family before looking at the words without reading them; he was able to tell that whoever had sent the letter had made sure to not write it in their own handwriting.

"Well?" Mia asked when it seemed like Dom would never say anything at all.

"It just says that Brian was seen in Miami a few days ago," Dom said turning the paper around to see if it had anything else.

"How do we even know it's our Brian?" Mia asked knowing that if it was a lie that her brother would only withdraw more.

"We don't, we would need to go see for ourselves," Dom answered as he looked at his family.

"Dom we don't even know if this is some kind of prank. How can we even consider going see to the other side of the country to prove if this person is right or not?" Mia questioned her brother once more. Dom knew that the reason behind it was because no one but Brian and her had really questioned what he was doing and thinking. Brian had never allowed Dom to push him around, and Mia was much like him in that aspect.

"It's all we have Mia, I can't keep going like this," Dom said clenching his hands and taking a deep breath. "Every day that passes seems to get longer and longer without news of Brian. Without knowledge of what is happening with him. It kills me not knowing if he is even safe; or the reason he left without saying anything. Damn it Mia! We are family and he just left!"

Dom watched as his sister stared at him for a little while longer, the others staying silent as if not knowing which side to take.

"In that case we are all going," Mia said and glared when Dom made to argue. "I'm sure that Maria and her husband will be able to look after the store for us while we are gone. The garage though will have to be close down as I don't trust anyone entering that place without any of you there. Also, Hector and Edwin will have to come and check that everything is in order here."

Dom nodded when he noticed that everyone else was behind Mia's decision.

'Please be there Brian,' Dom pleaded silently as he watched his sister giving instructions on what to do and pact for the trip that might take longer than a few weeks.

Brian looked around the boat house once more; Tej had agreed to help once he had called in for his help. Brian knew that he had made allies in different places of the states as well as in different countries. He just wondered if any of them would respond to his call. While everyone had told him to call them if he ever needed help; Brian knew that it was a crazy thing to go against De Angelo. It wasn't an easy walk in the park, and maybe just maybe he would be able to go back to Dom and explain everything to him. Brian wondered if the man still remembered him; or if he had found someone else. No, Brian knew that Dom loved him.

'But will he still love me once he finds out I'm pregnant and didn't call him immediately?' Brian asked himself suddenly.

"Brian, are you sure about this?" Tej asked as he approached the blonde man.

"Yes, I can't keep running."

"Well then, I have a few people that could help us. Just know that going against this fucker won't be an easy walk in the park."

"Don't I know that," Brian said with a small sad smile. He knew that De Angelo wasn't a man to fuck around. De Angelo was a cold hearten bastard, that didn't take 'no' for an answer and kill those that ever opposed him. "I have to stop him though, if I don't not only will I still be on the run but I will also put my child's life on the line. I won't ever allow that fucker to touch a hair on my unborn miracle."

Brian watched as Tej nodded in understanding before taking out his cell phone and making a call to his contact within the police force. Brian had once asked the man how that worked, but he had never received a straight answer. So he had left it alone and was grateful for an ascent in his plans.

'I just hope that your Papa will forgive me for doing something this dangerous once he finds out,' Brian thought as he put a hand around his midsection.

Dante looked at the man in front of him and nodded as the new information was given to him. He wondered what his precious treasure was doing in Miami. It wasn't a place that the blonde would like much; especially knowing that New York was only a state above. The one state that Dante had always resided in; New York had become a place where Brian would never come near again. So why was the blonde so close to the one place he had always seen as a prison?

"Should we go and get him, sir?"

"I'll go personally Michael, I want to know how he's so brave as to be so close to me," Dante said smirking.

"Is anyone going along?" Michael questioned.

"You and five more; I'm sure that Carter will be happy to see me once more."

Dante watched as Michael nodded before giving orders through one of the radios. He knew that Carter would not like him taking over his home once more; but Dante knew the man wouldn't go against him. Especially if he wanted to keep smuggling drugs and money without rising suspicions with the Customs.

"Make sure everything is ready to leave first thing tomorrow, Michael," Dante said as he stood and left his office.

"Yes sir," Michael answered as he followed the man out of the office and turning in the opposite direction to choose the other five that would be going along with them.

Anaki: Here is Chapter 5, and I do hope that this was worth the long wait. I know that I started updating once a week… but this chapter just didn't seem to want to come at all. Here it is though; so please, please, please tell me if it was good.

Until next time :)
