AN: Here's another one for you guys! And to answer a question yes Brian will be in this story :). Hope you guys like it.

Gabriella woke up the next working to feet shuffling outside her room. She threw her legs over the side of the bed and went running out. "What's going on?" She asked as Vince passed her without saying a word. "Hello!"

"Go back to bed." He demanded.

"Um, its eleven o'clock in the morning Vince. What is going on?"

"We have somewhere to be, now can you please move?"

"Where?"

"Gabby!"

She rolled her eyes as she moved passed him and down the stairs. Dom was in the kitchen looking through the paper as she went storming in there. "Where are you going?"

"Good morning dear sister, how are you this morning?"

"Dom!"

"We are just going out for a little bit."

Gabriella opened her mouth to speak but her cell phone went off on the table. She looked over at him and then at the phone. She groaned as she answered it. "Yes!" She stopped and looked over at Dom. "Yeah, I will. Let me get dressed…sure." She slowly closed the phone and looked over at Dom before turning to walk away.

"Um, excuse me where are you going?" He asked.

She smiled to herself as she turned around. "I'm just going out for a little bit." She turned on her heel and skipped away. She made her way back up to her bedroom and slowly realized what she was about to do. She began getting dressed with there was a knock on her door.

"Yes?" The door opened.

"We are going to meet Jake. He called last night and has something he wanted to discuss with me…" Dom walked in.

"WHAT?" Gabriella yelled. "You are kidding right? You are not going to meet him Dom."

"This is ending Gab. I am over all this bullshit. I want him gone."

She shook her head. "This is ridiculous! I cannot believe this is happening. He ran me into a wall Dom. He recruited my ex boyfriend and my ex best friend into Yakuza. This girl beat the shit out of me just two days ago. You don't think that you are going into a trap? You don't think that he is going to try and hurt you too? This is stupid!"

"I can handle myself."

She shook her head. "Now where are you going?"

She bowed her head. "Johnny called me, he sounded really bad Dom. I told him I would meet him."

"No…"

"Dom!"

"I said no!" He yelled. "You are not going to meet him."

"I won't go if you don't go see Jake."

"This is not a negotiation Gabriella."

"Yes it is. I will not go see him if you stay away from Jake."

There was silence. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. "I will not go back to that prison Gabriella but so help me God if something happens to you, I will have no problem putting every single one of them in the ground. You stay close to home. You do not go anywhere near Tokyo. I mean it!" He stormed away slamming the door behind him causing her to jump. She couldn't help but laugh as she fixed her hair in the mirror. She prayed that nothing happened with Jake. Her brother had no idea who he was messing with.

She moved down the stairs of house when she heard his engine roaring down the street. She straightened her shirt and tried to make her hands stop shaking. She was nervous. She sat down on the concrete as his car parked in front of her. He climbed out of the car as the wind blew causing his hair to move out of his face. He was gorgeous. She shook her head of the thought as he approached her.

"Thank you for meeting me." He replied moving his hair out of his face.

"What's going on? You sounded weird."

"I just really…I don't know to be honest." He sighed.

"Dom is on his way to Tokyo to see Jake. Should I be worried?"

"Jake is going to offer your brother a deal." Johnny told her. He moved to the side of her bringing out a cigarette.

"What kind of deal?"

"Gabriella, I am so sorry for what has happened to you."

"Why are you here Johnny? Why did you want to meet me?"

"Jake's dad is trying to buy out the diner and your dad's garage. They are trying to close you guys down."

"What?" She gasped. She stood up and glared at him. "And I am sure you had something to do with it?"

He shook his head. "My father is dead Johnny, he is dead and isn't coming back. That garage and diner is all that we have left of him."

"I know that."

"Do you?" Gabriella walked away putting her hands on top of her head. "Why are you here Johnny?"

"Because I am still in love with you."

Gabriella huffed as she turned around to face him. "That ship has gone and sailed. Why do you think there could ever be anything between us now? You came to my house and chose your best friend over me. He put me in a wall and I almost died Johnny. You joined Yakuza for god's sake. You broke my heart one too many times, I think it's about time that I just stop trying to fix things and let them be."

"No…" He moved towards her. "I never wanted any of this. My father is…you don't know him okay. I have no choice…"

"You always have a choice!" Gabriella yelled. "You have spent seventeen years of your life not having anything to do with that life and now, what you decide you don't have a choice? You are eighteen years old now Johnny, you always have a choice. You are an adult. Maybe you should start acting like one."

He put his hand up to her face slowly running it across the bruise that formed on her cheek. She gave a soft smile before turning away from him. "You let her hit and kick me, you didn't do anything to stop her."

"Gabriella…" He moved forward.

"Go away Johnny. I don't want to see you anymore."

"Will you please…?"

"Go!" She yelled pointing off into the distance. "I never want to see you again." She crossed her arms over her chest as he nodded his head and moved to his car.

"We can fight this together Gabby, I know we can." He slammed the car door before turning the engine on. Gabriella's head shot up to the black Navigator sitting at the top of the street. Her skinned crawled as it slowly began to pull away.

Gabriella sat on the edge of the chair as she waited for Dom and Vince to get back. She looked up at him as the door slowly closed behind him. "Where is everyone else?" Dom asked. Gabriella shrugged her shoulders as she continued to stare at him.

"Gab, will you go find Jesse and Leon please?" Vince asked. He knelt down in front of her grabbing her hands.

"I know about the garage and the diner. So just tell me." She squeezed her eyes shut before opening them again. He was shaking his head at her.

"Please go get them." He whispered. Gabriella looked up at Dom who was just staring at the two of them. Gabriella let go of Vince's hands and stood up. She disappeared into the kitchen and down the stairs. "Hey…"She whispered knocking on Jesse's door. "Dom and Vince are back. They need to talk to you and Leon." She moved away from the door.

"Gab…" Jesse called after her. He sighed before moving into her sight. "I'm really sorry for what happened at the party the other night. I'm sorry about Johnny…"

"Don't be." Gabriella smiled. "I'm alright. I can take a punch." She laughed. She moved to the stairs. "Will you let Leon know that Dom needs to see him?"

Jesse nodded his head. "Everything is going to be alright Gab." She gave him a soft smile nodding her head before walking away. She climbed up the stairs and slowly made her way back into the living room.

"…you know what that means Dom, we will be working for him." Vince's voice was low but Gabriella could make out everything he was saying. She stood at the door as Dom cleared his throat.

"They are coming." She replied walking in and sitting down on the couch. She brought her legs up to her chest and covered her face as she took in a deep breath. "Johnny told me that Jake's dad is going to take over the garage and the store. He is trying to close us down, why?"

Dom sighed as he moved over to her bringing her into his lap. He kissed the back of her head as she closed her eyes. "That is all that we have left Dom."

"I know." He whispered. Leon and Jesse made their way into the living room with Mia behind them.

"Where is Letty?" Dom asked.

"She went down to the garage for a little bit. There was something she needed to get done before the end of the day." Mia told him. She sat next to them looking over at Gabriella who was playing with her lip.

"It's Saturday."

"We work on Saturdays too Dom."

"What is going on Dom? What did Jake say?" Leon asked moving into the room.

Dom held tightly to Gabriella as he looked around the room. "We have two options. Jake decided that he wanted to get rid of the Toretto's all the together so his father decided to buy out the garage and the diner. Now our options are this, we let them do this to us…"

"No!" Gabriella yelled.

"Or, we take action into our own hands. They are going to try and kill us. Taxes are due on both places, we don't have the money for it. We come up with a way to get the money."

"Races?" Jesse asked.

Dom nodded his head. "We race. All of us. We get in to what we have to."

Gabriella leaned up from him and looked over at Vince who was now facing the opposite direction. His arms were crossed over his chest. "All of us?" She repeated softly.

Dom nodded his head as she stood up from his lap. She looked over at Mia who wasn't talking. "I'm sorry but the last time I got behind the wheel of a car I hit a wall going one hundred miles per hour. Whose smart idea was this? Are you nuts?"

"I talked to Franko just last night Gab. He told me about you racing."

"That's great Dom, I haven't talked to him in nine months."

"If I didn't think you could do this, I wouldn't have suggested it. How many races did you do last year?"

"Are we seriously having this conversation right now?" Gabriella looked over at Vince. "Vince!"

"Gabby, how many races did you race last year?"

She looked over at Mia with pleading eyes. She turned away. "Wha-, I raced every Tuesday night for one year." She bowed her head. "When I said I was doing something at the diner or the library or wherever, I was racing." She sighed as Vince took off out the door letting it slam behind him. "I will do this Dom, because I refuse to let Jake win again. But if something bad happens, I am done. Nothing is worth our lives."

"I will not let anything happen to you." Dom replied softly.

"I need to go find Vince. You just pissed him off."

Dom began to laugh. She shook her head as she went outside. Vince wasn't too hard to find, he was sitting on the edge of the sidewalk with a cigarette in his hand. "Those things are going to kill you you know."

He huffed before throwing it into the road. "I know that I lied to you a lot these past two years. I did it because I was a selfish person Vince. I didn't for my own satisfaction and I am sorry. I didn't want you to find out this way…I mean I guess I didn't want you to find out at all. I don't want to do this Vince. I don't want to race…"

"We don't have a choice Gabriella." Vince still wouldn't look at her. "I don't like this at all. I think it's a dumb idea but Franko showed him a video of you, I could kill you do you understand that? I could literally kill you right here where we stand."

"Vince…" She whispered.

"Your brother seems to think this is a good idea, so I am going along with it."

"Please look at me."

He slowly turned her head towards her. She walked over to him wrapping her arms around his neck. "You will always be my best friend in the entire world. What you tell me to do Vince I will do it. But please please don't be mad at me."

He sighed as he tightened his grip on her. "I just can't watch you do something that almost killed you."

"And I can't watch someone take my father's shops. We are not slaves to these people Vince. I will not let them run my life. My father would stand up to them if they were here. I am so mad right now because I don't understand at all. Everything was good, we were all friends and then this happens. It blindsided me…"

Vince released her as he moved her to his side. Dom cleared his throat as he slowly walked down the steps and sat next to Gabriella. He took her hand but wouldn't look at her. "Our father—" Dom took a deep breath. "He was working for Tran-"

Gabriella jumped up from the stone but Dom held tightly to her hand. "That's how he was able to keep the garage and the diner open. We were struggling Gab—"

"No." She gasped.

"When mom died, things started to go downhill. We had to do something, so he made the decision to join them."

Tears began streaming down her face. "He didn't want you to know. It would kill him if he knew now that you know. He was not a bad person Gab. He just didn't know what else to do. So when it was time, he tried to get out. They tried to kill him…"

Gabriella struggled to get out of Dom's hand. She didn't want to hear it anymore. "Just stop!" She yelled. "This isn't right! You are wrong! He wouldn't do that."

"You get into Yakuza Gabby, you don't get out! They wouldn't let him out, so now that he is gone they want me, I refused. Jake was just a decoy, he knew who you were and-it's my fault okay. All of this is my fault because I am not going down like that. Brianna was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, it sounds like the life Gab. They offer you so much…success."

Vince reached over bringing her into his arms laying his face into the head. "Your father was doing what was right for his family."

"He would never do that, he would never join Tran." She cried. She jerked away from Vince and wiped the tears from her face. "I'm really tired."

Dom nodded his head. "I'll race Dom, but I'm not going to let what happened last time happen again, you teach me everything I need to know. I never want to hear the word Yakuza again as long I live." She turned and walked away leaving the two men to sit there. She looked up and saw the same Navigator from earlier sitting at the top of the hill. This was war now. This wasn't going to end unless they did something about it. She stuck her middle finger in the air hoping the whole world saw it, but mostly whoever was in that car.
