All she heard from the moment Dom stepped out of the car was screaming. She was being jerked in every direction. Brian had raced Dom and lost, badly. It was a horrible sight. Now they were all running. They were running from the cops. Someone had called them. Dom jerked her towards his car shoving her inside the passenger seat before running to the driver's side. They were gone in a flash. The last thing she saw was Jesse staring at her. She knew he was making sure she was safe. Dom was gone as cars scattered throughout the streets. Everyone always ran. The price of street racing was quite a fee and maybe some jail time. They couldn't afford that. Especially Dom, they would send him right back to jail without hesitation. Her head shot towards him as they swung out into the middle of the street.

"You alright?" He yelled. She nodded her head as she held on tight. They didn't speak anymore. She needed him to concentrate. They had to get home safe. "Hold on!" He jerked the car into a parking garage pulling into a parking space and slamming on brakes. "Let's go!" He got out of the car grabbing his jacket as she followed. He held out his hand to her as they moved from the car. He hit the alarm button and they were on their way.

"Where are we going?" She asked moving quickly with him.

"Stay close to me. We are going home." They moved quickly together down the street. "Stay calm Gab." A police car came flying by them. His grip tightened on her hand.

"TORETTO!" The car stopped and turned around. Within a second they were running. He was pulling her causing her to not really keep up with him,

"DOM!" She screamed. They turned the corner going down into an alleyway.

"Stay with me Gab!" He let go of her hand as they continued to run together. He was inching further and further away when all of the sudden she looked behind it. It was Brian. The car stopped in front of them causing both her and Dom to slam into it.

"Get in!" Brian yelled. They got into the car as he sped away with the police still behind them.

"Thank you!" Gabriella gasped as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Seatbelt!" Dom yelled. She sat back in the seat as the continued to drive. They lost the cops thank you lord, but where were they.

"You drive like you've done this before. What are you, a wheelman?"

"No." He looked at Gabriella through the rearview mirror. She smirked at him.

"Boost cars?"

"No, never."

"Do time?"

"Couple of overnighters. No big deal."

"What about those two years you did in juvie for boosting cars? Tucson, right? I had Jesse run a little background check on you, Mr. Brian Earl Spilner. He can find anything on the web, anything about anyone. So, why bullshit?" Dom had a smirk on his face as Gabriella began to laugh in the backseat.

"So what about you?" Brian found it amusing too.

"Two years in Lompoc. I'll die before I go back."

Gabriella looked out the window. "Oh shit!" She yelled. She knew exactly where they were. "Dom!"

Two motorcycles pulled up beside them just as Dom turned around.

"What's going on?" Brian asked.

"Follow us!" One of the riders tapped on the window.

"Follow them!" He slammed his hand down on the dash. "Its going to be a long ass night."

Gabriella began to panic in the backseat as she turned towards the other motorcycle next to them. She knew exactly who it was. "Damnit." She whispered.

They pulled into Tokyo and came to a stop as Johnny and the other driver pulled up next to them. They were surrounded by motorcycles when she got out. Dom's hand never left hers. She tried not to show that she was scared but she was. She was scared to death. Johnny smiled at her as he got off the motorcycle. Dom moved her behind him.

"I thought it was easy Dom, you stay away, I stay away." Johnny smirked.

"We got lost." Dom was calm.

"We?" Johnny tilted his head looking at Gabriella. She was angry she wanted to slap him.

"My new mechanic Brian meet Johnny Tran, the guy in the snake skin pants is his cousin Lance. So when you are going let have a chance at that Honda 2000?"

Brian looked over at Gabriella as she moved away from them. She felt eyes on her as she stood off to the side.

"This is a nice vehicle." Johnny walked around the car. Gabriella felt her phone go off in her pocket. She reached for it as Johnny walked over to her. "You know I never meant to hurt you right?"

"Go fuck yourself." She snapped. He laughed as he twirled his finger around.

"Let's go!" He climbed onto the motorcycle. "I'll see you in the Desert next month. Be ready to have that ass handed to you."

"You are going to need more than that crotch rocket."

"Oh I got something for you."

"Are you okay?" Gabriella didn't even notice Brian beside her. She nodded her head at him as Johnny stared. She took a deep breath and then let it out. She was as they all drove away.

"What was that about?" Brian asked.

"Long story. Let's go." Dom walked over to the car and began to climb in when they heard the motorcycles come back.

"Dom, what's going on?" Gabriella asked. That's when she saw it. The guns. "NO!" She screamed.

"NOS!" Dom yelled. He dove to the side as Brian grabbed Gabriella and tackled to her the ground. She hit the ground hard as the car blew up. Brian remained on top of her until he knew it was safe to move. Her heart was beating super fast but her adrenaline had kicked in. "Gabriella!" Dom yelled. He ran over to her picking her up off the ground. "Thank you." He gasped hugging her tightly.

"No problem." Brian slapped his hand on Dom's shoulder as he began to catch his breath.

"Come on lets go." Dom looked at Gabriella before putting his arm around her shoulder.

"So what was the deal back there?"Brian asked again. He was a little amused by everything.

"It's a long story."

"We have a twenty mile hike. Humor me."

"It was business deal that went sour. Plus I made the mistake are sleeping with his sister."

Brian began to laugh as Gabriella remained silent. "I feel like there is more to this story."

"He was the one who was there at the race that night that saved my life." Gabriella mumbled. "He was also the one who told the guys to hit me repeatedly as he watched at the store that one night. He is also my ex boyfriend."

"That was the guy that came into the store that day with all of those parts?"

"That's him." She nodded her head. "I don't know who that person was back there."

Brian squeezed her hand giving her a small smile. "Thank you for tackling me back there." She laughed.

"Well it was either that or you go flying in the air, I chose the less painful one."

She began to laugh. "Where is everyone?" She asked. "Shouldn't they be calling us or something?"

"I was thinking the same thing." Dom replied. He shook his head.

Gabriella stopped walking.

"What are you doing?" Dom asked.

"I'm done walking. I can't do this. We need to call someone." She complained. Dom groaned as he jerked out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed numbers. No one picked up. She could see the veins popping out of his neck as he became angry.

"Yes!" He growled. "I need a taxi to twenty four West Street. We will be waiting." He slammed the phone shut. "They will be here in ten minutes."

Gabriella was the first to get out of the cab as it pulled up in front of the house. The house was booming as she heard the music from outside. They were throwing a party. "I'll see you guys later." Brian turned to walk away.

"Spilner!" Dom called after him. "You want a beer?"

Gabriella moved into the house, she wanted to see what was about to happen. Letty was on the ground watching TV, she couldn't find Jesse, Leon was talking to a girl, and Vince was playing his guitar. She glared at all of them. She winced at the pain as she looked down at her arm. It was scrapped up from being tackled to the ground. She groaned as she moved into the living room catching Leon's attention.

"Hey…" The door slammed. "Yo Dom were just going to look for you!" Dom knocked the drink out of his hand before storming over to Vince.

"Where were you?"

"Yo there were mad cops. That shit was orchestrated."

Dom nodded his head. "This your beer?"

"Yeah that's my beer."

Dom removed the beer from the table and turned around. "Yo Dom, what's the buster doing here?"

Gabriella looked over at Brian nodding her head reassuring him it was okay.

"Because the buster kept me out of handcuffs. He didn't go running back to the fort, the buster brought me back." Dom yelled pointing his finger at Vince.

"And me." She crossed her arms over her chest. "You just left us Vince."

Vince went to say something but Dom cut his off. "You can have any brew that you want, as long as it's a Corona." Brian kept looking at Vince as he chose the beer. "That's Vince's so enjoy." Brian used his shirt to wipe off the top before taking a sip.

"Yo do you have a bathroom I can use?"

"Upstairs, second door on the right." Brian left the room.

"He's got no call bein' up there, you don't know that fool for shit!" Vince stormed over him.

"Yeah he is right Dom." Leon walked over to them.

"Vince there was a time I didn't know you!"

"That was in the third grade!" Vince yelled back. Gabriella began to laugh. "And you, what the hell happened to you? You get into another fight?"

"Don't start with me Vince, I am so pissed off at you right now!" Gabriella put her finger in his face.

"Hey can I talk to you?" Jesse pulled on her arm. He was drunk. She looked over at Dom who nodded his head at her.

"Sure, I need to clean my arm up anyways." She walked over to the table in the kitchen and sat down grabbing the washcloth sitting beside them. "What's going on? You okay?"

"I just wanted to talk to you." He slurred.

"You sure this is wise right now?"

He nodded his head. "I love you."

"I love you too Jesse."

"No…." He stopped her with his hand. "Listen…"

She smiled finding humor in him. "I love you."

"Yeah?"

"Can we just start over? I mean like really start over?"

"Of course."

"Will you cut the shit? Come on!" Mia yelled. Gabriella jumped up from the table and moved over to the commotion. Dom and Letty were gone, leaving Vince and Leon with Brian.

"What are you two doing now?" She asked walking over to them. "Will you just leave him alone?"

"What were just having fun?" Vince replied.

"Yeah, I know what your idea of fun is Vince. No one is interested."

"What the hell happened to you anyways? Why is your arm all banged up?" Leon asked.

"It's a long story." Gabriella turned to walk away.

"Nope!" Vince grabbed her. "That's not going to work."

"Spill!" Leon demanded.

"So the cops came after us, we parked the car and had to run. Brian caught up with us and helped us out. We got lost. I looked out the window…." She shook her head. "We were in Tokyo. I don't even know how we got there."

"You were in Tokyo?" Vince yelled standing up.

She nodded her head. "Tran and Lance were beside us on motorcycles. We had to follow them. They had guns Vince. We didn't have a choice. We pull over and words are exchanged as always. He had the nerve to apologize for what happened. They left."

"Oh yeah they left?" Vince eyed her. "So the scrape on your arm where did that come into play?"

"We were getting back into the car when they came back. They had guns and just began shooting the car. It blew up. Brian tackled me to the ground to keep me from being thrown into the air. Brian saved my life Vince."

He nodded his head. "What-"She was cut off as he stormed up the stairs. "Where the hell is he going?"

"Johnny Tran did this to you?" Leon asked.

"Yes. Let it go please. I don't need stupid shit happening."

Leon nodded his head. "I'll be right back."

Gabriella woke up the next morning with Vince sitting beside her.

"I think Brian is a cop." He replied. She looked over at the clock then up at him.

"Really? " She groaned rolling over.

"Your brother is taking him in."

"Taking him in where Vince? Its seven in the morning what the hell are you doing up?"

"I haven't been to sleep." She groaned as she rolled back over to him. She opened her eyes and stared at him.

"Why not?"

"Because I was angry with your brother for getting you involved in Tokyo again."

"It wasn't his fault. Maybe if some people that I know didn't just run away we might not have ended up there in Tokyo."

He shook his head. "Vince, just go to sleep okay. You need to get some rest."

"I'm not tired."

"You are a liar. I can see it in your eyes." She sighed as she moved to the other side of the bed before patting down beside her. "Get in you big baby. Let's go to sleep."

He smiled at her before taking off his shoes and lying down. "I don't know if this is going to happen or not."

"It better, I am freaking tired."

"How's the arm?"

"It hurts but I will live. Go to sleep V, we can talk later."

She laid there as he rolled over putting his arm around her body. She began running her hand down his head until she heard the snores. She chuckled as she closed her eyes. She wondered if Jesse meant what he said last night. Were they back together? Were they going to start over? He was drunk. They all were. She tried to get comfortable as she began to think about Johnny. He was gone. He truly was gone and wasn't coming back.
