The drive back to Vince's house was short and sweet. She didn't want to be back so fast. It made her nervous. Harrison sensed something was wrong as she stared at the window. "Baby…"

"I'm fine."

"I know you aren't but everything is going to be okay. It's probably nothing."

"You don't bring home bags of money if it's nothing…" She sighed. "I'm sorry." She finally looked over at him. "I am taking this out on you and I am sorry."

"Baby…" He whispered putting the car in park. "We have each other that is all that matters right now."

She nodded her head before leaning over to him and softly kissing him on the lips. She pulled away opening up the door and climbing out. Things were different right then. She couldn't place her finger on it but it just felt different. She moved around the corner to see guys standing on the steps with guns. "Harrison!" She gasped.

"Come on Gab, just move through them." He grabbed her hand as they moved up the steps. The guys didn't move. She noticed a few of them as their neighbors. Why did they have guns?

"What is going on?"

"Keep moving."

They made it to the door where Harrison shoved her in slamming it behind him. "What the hell was that?" She yelled. Harrison went to say something but he couldn't. He couldn't speak. His body was in shock as he lifted his finger in the air and pointed behind her. Gabriella's eyes widened as she slowly turned around.

"Hey Gabby!" Mia whispered. She was skinny. Oh she was so skinny. Brian was next to her with a smile on his face.

"Mi-Mia!" Gabriella didn't wait for a response as she threw her arms around her sister's neck. Tears streamed down her eyes as she looked up at Brian who nodded his head. She reached for his hand, squeezing it tightly. She could feel her sister's body shake as they cried together. "What are you doing here?"

"Dom told us to come."

"Why do you look like shit?" Gabriella asked with a laugh as she pulled away from her sister.

Brian shook his head. "We've been on the run."

"This whole time?"

"Yeah, Dom didn't want you to know. He wanted you to have a normal life here."

Gabriella shook her head. "Why didn't you come here with me? Why didn't you guys just stay with us? Everything has been okay here. We haven't had any problems."

Mia looked up at Brian. "Gab…" He whispered. He moved closer to her. "Dom made sure that you were safe. He made sure that you didn't have anyone following you…"

"But you guys knew that. You guys knew that the FEDs were coming after you. So you sent me here…"

"We've been running since the day we last saw you."

Gabriella bowed her head. "Where's my brother?"

"We don't know. He told us he would meet us here but that was last week. I haven't heard from him since." Brian grabbed her arm but she jerked away from him.

"Brian, just let her go." Harrison replied softly as Gabriella walked away from them. She walked into the kitchen as Harrison followed her. "You listen to me, I need to make this very clear to you…" He turned her around to him. "I love you with everything inside of me and if you want to go we will go to wherever it is that you want to go. Or we can stay here and face what Vince is doing. I will go anywhere with you Gabriella, you just say the word."

"Would you still love me if I stayed?"

He put her face in between his hands wiping the tears that fell. "I will stay with you until the ends of this earth."

"I'm so scared." She sobbed. He pulled her closer to him wrapping his arms around her body as she trembled. She was so petrified something was going to happen to them. Vince was doing God only knew what, her brother and sister were running from the cops this whole time. She was off living her life in luxury while the world around her was crashing down. She knew it would come to this. She could only be happy for so long until someone came to fuck it up. She glared straight ahead as Harrison soothed the back of her head. This was war. She was going to fight this time, she was fight harder and stronger. It was to the death, she wasn't backing down.

The night came slowly in as Gabriella stayed out on the balcony while everyone ate inside. She couldn't be in there right then. She needed air. She needed to think. "What are you doing out here?" Vince caught her off guard as she jerked around to him. He had a beer in his hand with a plate of food. "I brought you some food."

"I'm not hungry."

"Caught you off guard huh?" He set the plate down before sitting down next to her.

"Did you know?"

"Dom has wanted them to come here for the longest time. It was all in the matter of when I guess, I didn't want to get your hopes up."

She nodded her head. "Vince, I need to ask you something and I need you to be completely honest with me."

"Of course. Is something wrong?"

She bowed her head. "I woke up the other night to a sound, so I decided to go check it out. I saw you Vince…"

He sighed rubbing his hand over his head. "I saw you with a bag full of money. What are you doing? Are you doing jobs again?"

He nodded his head. "It's not what you think. I am not robbing anyone or anything, I am just…"

"Dealing?"

"Collecting. It's not anything that you think. It's how I make a living here."

"Are we in danger being here?"

He didn't respond. "Answer me."

"Brazil is a very dangerous place Gab, but I would never let anything happen to you. You are safe with me, I swear on it. A lot has changed with me though."

She turned away from him as he grabbed her hands and kissing them. "We all left each other Vince. We all became selfish and began worrying about ourselves more than our family. I am guilty of it to. I never forgot about you Vince. There wasn't a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about you. You took care of me when I needed someone the most. You became my best friend. I am here with you because I trust you, but I will not go back to the life that we lived. So if I am in danger, no matter if you can take care of me or not, I need you to let me know. Do not lie to me. I am twenty six years old, I need to know the truth this time."

"I will tell you the truth Gab."

She nodded her head. "Thank you for taking Brian in, I know how you feel about him so it means a lot that you are letting him stay with us."

"I am doing it for Dom."

She nodded her head again before standing up. "It's late. I should be getting to bed." He stood up with her wrapping his arms around her neck.

"I love you."

"I love you too Vince." She whispered. She patted his back before walking into the apartment. Brian was awake staring at her as she walked past him. "Goodnight."

'Can we talk?" Vince asked as Gabriella shut the door behind her. She climbed into bed with Harrison snuggling close to him.

"You believe him?" Harrison asked rubbing his hand down her back.

"Nope."

A few days had past when Gabriella began to notice different things going on around the apartment. Brian and Vince were hanging out with each other a lot. She noticed they were more serious about things. She grabbed Brian's arm stopping him when he passed through the living room. "What are you up to?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play stupid please, I know you and Vince are up to something. You should let me know."

Brian sighed as he looked around the room. "A job."

She shook her head slamming the plate down on the counter. "Really?" She yelled. "It never ends with you does it? We have a life here Brian…"

"We are starving Gab. We don't have any money. We have been on the run for a year now. I can't do this anymore."

"What kind of job?"

"Cars. We steal cars."

"For how much?"

He shook his head. "Really? You aren't going to tell me?"

"Let it go please, I am begging you to let this go."

"Where is my brother Brian? You said he was coming here, where the hell is he?"

"I don't know. We have been trying to contact him but he hasn't been answering at all."

She looked through the opening of the room and looked around to see if anyone was listening. "Can I trust you?"

"Of course you can, I promise you that…"

"I don't think Vince has been completely honest with us Brian. He has been bringing home money in a bag almost every night. He says that he's working with someone, collecting money. I call bullshit."

"I will look in to it."

"Are we safe here? It's not just me Brian, it's your brother as well. Are we safe?"

"You are safe, I promise you that. If you weren't, you wouldn't be here right now."

"Brian let's go!" Mia appeared. She looked at Brian then at Gabriella. "He told you?"

"You be careful please. I can't…just be careful. Don't do anything stupid." She hugged her sister. She felt a knot in her stomach as she let her go.

"Me and you, when we get back, we are going to have a girl's day okay. We will be back, I promise."

Gabriella nodded her head as she let her sister go. "I'll see you guys later."

She sat down on the couch as she looked up at Rosa. "¿está todo bien?"

"Si." Rosa nodded her head. "Usted me ayuda con Niko?"

Gabriella nodded her head with a smile. Rosa knew what was going on, she had to know. Every time Vince made her mad she would ask to help her with Niko knowing the baby would calm her down. She walked into the room picking the infant up in her arms swaying back and forth. She smiled down at the baby as she looked up at Harrison standing in the doorway.

"You look like you enjoy doing that?" He replied.

She shrugged her shoulders with a smile. "Are they gone?" He asked. She nodded her head without replying. "Let's go to the market later okay. I need to grab some things from there."

"Sure." She whispered. She looked back down at the baby and smiled. It was moments like these that made her smile even through the troubles of her life. The baby was so innocent and knew nothing of the evils of the world. She wished her life was like that. She wished she knew what it was like to know no evil, to smile even through the times of troubles.

They arrived back at the apartment later that night when she noticed the guys were outside again. Harrison grabbed her hand as they walked through. She nodded her head as them with a small smile as Harrison squeezed her hand. "Do you want a baby?" He bluntly asked. She knew he was trying to take her mind off what was happening in front of them.

"Right now?" She was confused.

"With me?"

"I want everything with you Harrison, but…"

He laughed. They were finally in the clear of the men. "I don't want a baby right now. Our life…" She laughed at the obvious.

"You looked good with him. I just wanted to know where you stand." He kissed her hand.

"Where do you stand?"

"I want everything with you." He brought her closer to him kissing her softly on the lips when the door flew open.

"Come with me." Vince grabbed her hand jerking her towards some more steps. Harrison moved behind them as she looked back at him with a worried look.

"What is going on Vince?" Gabriella tried to pull away from him as he jerked her forward. She fell down on the steps as he tried to help her up. "Stop!" She yelled. Harrison lifted her back up. "What the hell is your problem?"

"Dom's here." Vince replied. He looked worried, anxious. She knew something was up. She nodded her head as she began back up the steps. They arrived at a building when Vince stopped her. "You know that I love you right?"

She nodded her head as she moved into the building grabbing Harrison's hand. She was anxious now too. She was finally going to be reunited with her brother. She walked around the corner where Dom, Mia, and Brian were standing. Her heart skipped a beat. They were all okay. She smiled as she rushed over to him wrapping her arms around his neck. "Are you okay? Is everyone okay?"

"We are fine, everything is okay." Dom whispered to her. He wouldn't let her go. She smiled over at Mia nodding her head. "Come here, I need to talk to you okay."

"What happened to your face?" She asked looking over at Brian.

Brian sighed before walking away. "We are in danger again aren't we?"

Dom nodded his head. "I need you to get out of here…"

"NO!" Gabriella yelled jerking away from him. "I'm not doing it. I am done running. You keep sending me away from you, why?"

"Because I want to keep you safe!" Dom grabbed her shoulders. "Do you not see that? This isn't the life that I want for you."

"You don't get to choose how I live my life anymore Dom!"

"Gabriella please…"

"No." She shook her head. "I am staying with you. You cannot make me leave. And don't you dare try to bring Harrison into this." She removed his hands from her shoulders as she moved away from him. "I can help you, I know I can. We don't need to separate anymore."

"What happens if something happens to you and I can't get to you? Or if you die?"

"Then I die Dom." She replied softly. "It's as simple as that. I have learned to survive all these years, so I know that I can help you. You just have to let me."

"Two DEA agents were killed today. We are being blamed. This isn't like back in the States Gab, where I was wanted for stealing merchandise from a truck, this is murder. We are going down for murder. Are you prepared for that? They are coming at us from all angles now…"

"I am with you Dom. I am not going anywhere."
