Chapter 13

He watched as Toretto looked around the store, the woman with him smiling in amusement. It wasn't something that could be hidden easily but she seemed to only be there to help the man. He watched as there were several women that tried to go up to the man only to stop at the glare that Ortiz sent their way; it was amusing but not a safe thing to be away from those that could protect them more easily.

'I hope they were careful to make sure that they weren't follow; I don't doubt that De Angelo would use this as an advantage and take the man away before manipulating Brian into giving himself up.'

He looked around making sure that there was no immediate danger. He knew that if one of De Angelo's men took a chance he would have to either go along with them or show them on which side he was on. Not something he was planning to do any time soon; so he hoped that no one had followed Toretto and Ortiz.

Vince walked towards the deck that was connected with the large house that Brian was currently in; he could see the blond looking towards the distant ocean as if trying to find the truth there. Trying to see what would come and if he would end up more hurt than what he was already; Vince wasn't a fucking ignorant he knew that Dom might had said something that would not sound good to the blond. He knew though that Dom love Brian above anything else; and while the man was happy to know that he would be a father he would not allow Brian to leave him. It wasn't something that he would choose; while Dom would do it if the blond made him promise it there would always be only one Brian. Only one person that would be able to get Dom to be himself without having to put on a smile when all he wanted was to glare and throw punches when the moment called for it.

"I see that you haven't lost the habit of visiting places near the ocean to think," Vince said loud enough to let the blond know he was there but soft enough to let the other know he wasn't there to judge the other.

"It's easier to get lost in your own thoughts than to concentrate on the here in now when you don't even know what is really happening around you," Brian answered back.

"I can tell something big is troubling you, Buster, but I can't figure out what it is," Vince said as he stood next to the blond. "I can see how wary you are of Dom; and yet you haven't told him to leave because you aren't comfortable with him being near you."

"It's not that Vince…" Brian trailed off for a moment before sighing and looking towards the other man. "I feel like he is only here to protect our child; like he isn't here because of me but because it's his duty to help protect the only thing we have created together."

"He came here because he heard that you were here and that you might be in danger," Vince sighed when he noticed the doubt in the blue eyes of the only man that Dom had allowed to enter his heart and life. "If he was here for the baby he wouldn't be asking you out on dates Brian. You out of everyone should know that about him; Dom is not someone that would go around lying just to turn his back on those he trusts and loves."

"I know that," Brian snapped and Vince could see that the blond hadn't meant to do that. "I'm just waiting for him to noticed what I'm looking for V."

Vince looked at the blond about to ask what he meant when he heard movement behind them. Turning around Vince took out his gun upon seeing two men that he didn't recognized; he could see though that they were walking towards them with determination. One of them looking around as if trying to figure out if there were too many people around or not.

"It's okay V, there are the two men that have infiltrated," Brian said taking a hold of Vince's wrist.

Vince nodded but didn't allow Brian to step in front of him; staying in between the two men and this friend. He knew that Brian wouldn't really like it but that he would understand Vince's reluctance from allowing him to be near two men he didn't know.

Upon their returned Dom stopped on his tracks when he noticed Vince and Brian sitting down in the living room watching a movie. The blond had his head leaned against the other's shoulder with a bowl of popcorn on his lap. For a moment Dom was tempted to question them but it was the first time that he had seen Brian relax around another member of his Team. Without making noise Dom took several steps back before entering the kitchen to find his sister cooking dinner.

"Something on your mind?" Mia asked without looking at him.

"Seems like now it's going backwards," Dom answered gaining his sister's full attention.

"What do you mean?"

"He seems to be relaxing around the others first."

Dom watched as his sister nodded in understanding before looking down at what he was holding on his hands.

"He told me once that he loves White Chocolate so I went to the store with Letty to buy him some but I couldn't find something more simple," Dom explain softly.

"I think it's cute," Mia said smiling. "And since we know that you would be the only one to make a daring move why don't you put them in his room for him to find."

Dom went up to his sister and kissed her forehead before heading out of the kitchen and walking upstairs towards Brian's room.

Dante watched as Carter left his mansion along with his two men and Monica. He didn't know what it was but he had a feeling that the woman wasn't what she appeared to be. He wondered if Carter had her investigated; he hadn't waited to ask the man though he had order Michael to investigate everyone that was working and living with Carter. He wasn't going to take any chances in someone trying to stop him from finally getting back what was his. He wasn't going to allow Brian O'Conner to become a ghost once more.

"I found everything you requested, especially Monica Fuentes," Michael said suddenly from his place on his laptop.

"Is there an undercover in his organization?" Dante asked Michael at once.

"No, everyone working for Carter was chosen very carefully by the man. He had them tracked and investigated before he even offered them a job. The only ones that seemed to not have been like that were Roberto and Enrique but they have saved the man's life many times before; there for the position they have earned," Michael answered as he kept typing away. "Monica Fuentes is just a pretty face; although she has been trained by Enrique in how to use a gun in case she is alone with Carter and the man need a back up."

"Seems like Carter will always be a paranoid fucker," Dante said with a smirk.

'And soon I shall force him to move farther from New York.'

Carter looked at his men as he looked around the club; he could tell that not everything was going according to plan. He would have to watch out for everything that Dante did in Miami because not only was the man putting their business at risk but Carter's freedom as well. He didn't want to fancy being in hiding every time he decided to travel around the states. It wasn't an option he was tempted to considerate; but if the man he had sent Enrique and Roberto had spoken with the truth than it would be better if Carter left. He wasn't someone to run though; especially if he would have to leave someone behind in his house.

'Fucker doesn't care if he ruins my life here,' Carter thought in anger as he watched the men and women dancing and drinking.

"Boss?" Enrique inquired when Carter growled and threw his glass across the sitting arrangement.

"We will have to travel soon; so make sure everything is prepared and that there are no lose ends here in Miami. I don't think we will be able to come back here for a while," Carter ordered as he looked at the two men that were with him. Monica looked at him in curiosity but stayed silent as she always did when he was giving orders to his men.

"Sure thing Boss," Enrique nodded taking out his cell phone and typing several things before putting it away once more.

'If I'm force to leave that fucker will find out that no one messes with me.'
