By nightfall everyone was exhausted including Gabriella. She had spent most of the time with her brother arguing with him. She didn't want to fight anymore. She didn't want to be separated from them anymore, how could he not see that? She fought to keep her eyes open as she continued to stare at him. "Go to sleep please." Dom begged her.
"Is Vince coming back?"
"I'm sure he is staying with Rosa tonight."
"Do you know her? Do you know that he has a baby?"
Dom nodded his head. "I've been in touch with him over the years. Now please, go to sleep."
She nodded her head as she closed her eyes. She had this feeling she was going to wake up somewhere else, like on a plane somewhere without her family. She wanted to fight the sleep but her body wouldn't let her. She felt the couch shift knowing he got up. He wasn't going to be sleeping that night, she knew that. The sleep overtook her but not for long. She heard a noise, like something crashing to the ground causing her to sit straight up. The first thing she noticed was Dom was no longer beside her, but she saw Vince. He was standing over the car, peering in. She wiped her eyes and stood up.
"I almost wish I didn't see that." Dom appeared from the shadows causing Gabriella to jump. "Almost."
"What is going on?" She asked.
"Wait." Vince tried to explain.
"Mia was on that train." Dom pointed his finger."MY SISTER!"
"I didn't know. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her."
"Vince…" Gabriella whispered moving towards him. Dom was faster grabbing her arm stopping him. "What the hell is going on?"
"You set the deal up!"
"I thought the job was for the cars. I didn't know. All they want is the chip."
"You should have come clean!" Dom pointed at Vince again. He was made.
Gabriella shook her head. "I don't understand. What job?"
"What is going on?" Mia asked coming out of the room. She was annoyed that she had been woken up.
"Nothing." Vince replied. Gabriella eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head at Vince. Had he been lying to her this whole time?
"Please Dom, just let me have the chip please. I can take this to them. I can make things right with Reyes."
"Get out." Dom demanded. Gabriella went to say something but Dom stopped her.
"What?" Vince asked.
"GET OUT!"
"You never listen to me, not when I told you he was a cop and not now. You never trusted me and look where it has gotten us. Look at our family now. Mia is stuck in this life, and Gab-" He bowed his head as Gabriella shook her head. "She is stuck here too. I never wanted this life for her, EVER! She is stuck Dom. She is going to be running for the rest of her life…"
"STOP!" Gabriella screamed.
"Where's Letty, Dom? Where's Letty?" Vince glared before storming out. Gabriella jerked her arm from Harrison's grip and ran after him. She heard Dom yelling her name but she didn't stop.
"VINCE!" She yelled shoving him from behind. "How dare you do this to us?"
"I never wanted this…" He had tears in his eyes. "He will never trust me again."
"Why should I believe you? You have been lying to me…"
"I swear on my life that I am protecting you from this. My life has spiraled down since I left Los Angeles. Brian is the cause for all of this. For all the running, it's his fault. I met Rosa, I settled down but to live here you have to pay a price. So that's what I am doing, just trying to live my life here. I wasn't going to let you get involved. I was going to help you get out of here."
"I am so sorry Vince." She bowed her head. "It would be best if you just stayed away. I love you…" She covered her mouth with her hand. "I don't know what I am supposed to do."
"You be with your brother. You look out for him. I will be okay."
She shook her head as he kissed her softly on the cheek. She leaned back against the building as he walked away from her. She leaned her head back as the tears fell down his face. "I know why he does it. I know that he is protecting himself and his family…"
"I'm okay Dom." She nodded her head.
"That's just it, people are going to betray us Gab. How can I let you be part of that? You have known him your whole life…"
"I haven't seen him in so long Dom, who knows how much he has changed."
"I can't let you do this Gab."
"You don't have a choice." She replied walking away from him. She walked back into the safe house where Harrison met her at the door. He wrapped his arms around her kissing her lightly on the side of the head. "What's going on?"
"He was looking for this." Brian held up the chip.
"What do you think is on it?" Harrison asked.
"Let's find out." Brian walked over to the table sticking the chip into the computer. They all gathered around looking down at the small computer.
"Holy shit!" Gabriella yelled as the dollar amount popped up on the screen. "One hundred million dollars."
Gabriella moved around the table as she looked at the computer. She began to write down the coordinates and the information that was on the chip when she heard a noise behind her. She didn't bother looking up as Dom's hand around her mouth. Her eyes widened as he turned her around. He put his finger to his lips telling her to be quiet as they moved to the door. She looked around the room searching for Harrison. He wasn't in sight. "I need you to follow me." He whispered.
"Harrison?"
"He's safe. Come on." He pulled her away from the table as she grabbed the papers off the table and ran towards the windows. She climbed up expecting him to follow but he didn't. She looked up about to panic when she saw another leg, she sighed realizing it was Harrison. "What's happening?" She asked wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Reyes." Harrison hissed. She nodded her head as she heard a noise again. Mia followed by Brian, then Dom. Gunshots began to go off as Harrison jerked her towards the exit as they took off running. She looked behind her making sure everyone was with them before sprinting down the alleyway. The gunshots began to go off again as they threw open the gate. She climbed onto the top of a house with Harrison behind her. "SPLIT UP!" Brian yelled. They all moved in different directions. She jumped down on top of the roof of another house.
"HARRISON!" She screamed as a man appeared on top of the roof. His gun was aimed at her. Harrison came into view tackling her directly off the roof of the house onto another one. Her breath was taken from her immediately as she rolled over on her side. She was surprised nothing was broken, but she had to keep moving.
"Come on baby, you have to move!" Harrison pulled down to the ground. He half carried her down the steps as they ran as fast as they could. Gunshots were going off all around them, why didn't they think to grab a gun. She covered her head as she cement from the walls hit her in the face and arms. Were they ever going to get out of this? She couldn't run anymore. Harrison was basically pulling her as they continued to run away. "We are almost there!"
"Who is that?" Gabriella yelled. They stopped, moving behind the wall and looking up. Cops. Gabriella tried to catch her breath as Harrison leaned over her making sure she was okay. "We need to go. I'm okay." She patted his hand as they moved around the wall into the grass. It was tall and should hide them as they moved through it towards the sewer. She squeezed his hand letting him know that she was still there with him. They heard movement causing them both to hit the ground.
"Gabby!" Gabriella shot up looking around. "Move towards my voice."
"Dom!" Gabriella yelled. They began moving slowly through the grass until they came into the clearing. Everyone was there. "Dom!" She gasped running towards him.
"Come on we need to go." They all moved into the sewer walking slowly together until they finally come to a river. Gabriella sighed wrapping her arm around Dom's neck.
"They are going to be looking for all five us together now. We need to split up. Mia, you and Brian go south, Harrison you take Gabriella and go north. I will lead them away."
"No." Mia and Gabriella spoke at the same time.
"I'm not separating again. I told you, I won't do it."
"They know who we are Gab. They are coming after us." Dom explained.
"Dom is right, look how lucky we just got. What happens next time? We have to split up." Brian chimed in. Gabriella shook her head.
"I'm pregnant."
All heads turned to her as Brian let out a laugh. Gabriella looked over at Dom nodding her head. "I've already lost my family once, I am not going through that again."
"Are you kidding?" Brian laughed bringing her into his arms.
"Don't do this Dom." Gabriella whispered. "Don't split us up again."
"I'm not going anywhere." Brian kissed her. Harrison wrapped his arms around Gabriella's waist and kissed her on the neck.
"Dom?" Mia turned her attention to him. "Promise me we stick together." Mia eyed him. Gabriella let out of a laugh as she walked over to her sister wrapping her arms around her neck.
"I promise." Dom replied. They were a family. They couldn't split up again. It wasn't right. They were meant to be together. They had to stick together to get through this. Most of all they needed to prepare themselves for what was about to happen. They had people from all over trying to hunt them down. They had to be smart about it if they were going to make it out alive.
Gabriella wrapped her arms around her sister's waist as they laid together on the old, worn out couch. She knew Mia was tired but she couldn't sleep. She couldn't close her eyes because she knew the dreams would come. "I'm so scared Mia." Gabriella whispered.
"I'm right here Gab. We are all here now." Mia shifted her weight.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"And what would you have done Gab?"
Gabriella began to laugh as she tightened her grip on her sister. "Go to sleep Gab, we will talk about it in the morning."
"I love you Mia."
Then there was silence. She kept her eyes open staring out the door where her brother, Brian, and Harrison were standing, She smiled at them as they all looked over at her. It was amazing how much of a family they were. It was like Brian never left but she also didn't know what he had to do to get back in with Dom. Dom wasn't always a forgivable person but he had a good heart. If Brian could have saved Letty she knew that he would have. Her eyes began to get heavy as she continued to stare outside. Oh how she longed to be sixteen again. Even though her father had died at that age, they were all together. They were a family. Her heart ached at the fact that her family was destroyed. A single tear fell down her face as sleep overtook her body. She was exhausted from the day. Her body ached, her heart ached. She wished the pain would just go away. Would it ever go away?
