Chapter 7.
"Alright we know our jobs right?" Brian asked. Rachel nodded and Puck just squeezed her hand.
Today was the day they were hitting the bus, and Rachel was a bit nervous, she was in charge of playing chicken, if the bus didn't give up, she was going to be in serious danger. Puck had the other car, set on being the escape.
Rachel was to abandon the car, more like crash it if she had to, and flee into the other car that was hidden and they would leave.
"How ju know we aren't going to be caught, mi hermano." Tego said in his thick Spanish accent. Rachel smiled at him. Rachel had met Tego, and Omar yesterday, telling her stories about her brother, which left her she smiling at all the things Dom done.
"We won't, we went through the plan, you guys are just needed to break him loose, and the instant you do, you slam your gas and speed away." Rachel told them. They both looked one another unsure but Rachel ensured them, that they were there to get her brother and take off, with tickets to leave ready.
"Van estar bien, nosotros vamos segurar que ustedes no sean responsable y que todo salga bien." (You're going to be okay, we are going to make sure you aren't responsible, and that everything ends well.) Rachel promised them.
"Alright, let's go." Brian commanded, getting the attention now. Rachel turned to Puck and he kissed her and frowned at her pinched look nose. Rachel smiled, she had to figure a way out about her nose and she used make up and tried to do contour to make it smaller. She had dyed her hair dirty blonde, and wore gloves, she wore all black mask to hide and her bangs helped to cover more of her face.
They all got on their perspective car, and they all drove out in a single file, Rachel lead them, followed by her sister and Brian, who was driving, Omar and Tego, and finally Puck. They sped down the road, and they hid very well.
They sped through the city and waited for he bus to take off. Rachel had her walkie talkie on and ready to use.
"Alright, they're on the move." Rachel said in her radio.
"Remember we wait for an hour." Brian said.
"Wait, but the drive to where I hide is thirty minutes from here." Puck voiced in.
"If we get him there, we'll still have time to attack." Rachel voiced in. Then the radio screeched a bit and then Artie's voice came in.
"I tampered with the radio, managed to get more wide signal area, like a cell phone." Artie said proudly. "Anyways, you guys need to start driving now, the bus ride won't take long. After you guys are done, Brian I already set up yours, Mia's, Dom's and the other two on an two flights to the Latin America, as an escape" he said.
"Don't forget to destroy the radio. Artie and Mike out" Mike said after Artie spoke up. Rachel chuckled a bit. They drove off and Rachel led them. They arrived to where Puck was going to be hidden and he got ready, Rachel just sighed and looked out her review window.
"Babe, I could practically hear you worrying, stop alright, we're all gonna be alright." Puck said. Rachel just chuckled.
"Alright, fine." Rachel said. They got close and she noticed the bus. "Alright Brian, we're ready." she said.
Rachel started to speed and Brian, followed when they saw the tail of the bus they sped even more faster.
"Be careful babe." Puck said. Rachel smiled.
"Always am." Rachel responded back. "Alright, let's do this." she yelled out. She slammed on her gas and sped towards the bus, Brian sped and drove and the same speed as Rachel was next to her. Rachel just smirked over at them, Brian and Mia turned to her and smiled.
Rachel shifted gear and swerved her car to the right and sped right past the bus as Brian drove the other side, They met and crossed in front of the bus, Rachel shifted her gear again and sped forward while Brian stayed in front of the bus. Rachel shifted and turned. She stopped and shifted her gears and then sped by Brian, to play chicken with the bus. The bus swerved right out her way, just in time, and tried to swerved back to his lane, Rachel sped and stopped in an angle, facing the bus.
She watched as Brian slammed onto his breaks and caused the bus to crash and roll over multiple times. Omar and Tego quickly got on the bus and went to grab Dom, she stayed there until she was sure that her brother was out of there. Time was ticking and it was taking a bit to get Dom out. She got her car ready, and then she saw them. She smiled and she sped away.
"Alright, we got him." Rachel heard Brian's voice carry. She sighed in relief, and she smiled.
"You alright kid?" Dom asked.
Rachel smiled. "I'm good, alright the next plan, you guys run, Artie already has your tickets ready, there at the airport with Aaron who has your stuff ready and packed, and you're checked in. We have hours before they figure out it was us. Make it count." Rachel explained. "Remember, trash the radios. Carolina out." she said.
Rachel grabbed a hammer she had in her compartment and shattered the radio she kept on speeding and not paying attention where she was going, she continued to trash the radio. She looked up, and swerved, when she remember where Puck was hiding, making her crash into a rock and that made her flip, she held on tightly and waited for the car to stop.
Puck saw and he quickly got out the car. "Jesus fuckin Christ Carolina." he muttered to himself. He was on the phone talking via Bluetooth with the guys. He ran and he can hear the guys talking, he got to the scene and heard Rachel get out groaning. He rushed to help her out. "Are you fucking insane?" he growled out.
"Shut up, we're running on precious time here." Rachel snapped back. She can smell the gasoline, she sighed in content, and got her lighter out, she double checked that nothing will be traced back to her, and then she opened the lighter, and threw it at the fire that was forming by the hood and they ran.
"Let's go babe." Puck muttered out. He helped his girl run out to his car and they got on, he got the car running and they sped out. Rachel sighed and leaned back, groaning in pain, and she noticed the car explode.
"God, everything hurts." Rachel gritted out.
"Yeah that kind of happens when you tend to crash the fucking car and flip ya know." Puck muttered out.
"Whatever, I needed to destroy the car, it had to happen." Rachel said as they drove off, once they were almost getting into the city, Puck slowed down, then stopped, and Rachel grabbed her short brown bob wig and put it on, she took of her make up and changed into her sundress clothing, and Puck also took of his wig and got dressed into a muscle shirt and shorts, and they put their disguises in a black bag that they were gonna have to burn.
Once changed, Puck started to drive into the city and they watched as all the police cars, ambulances, and firetruck passed right by them. Rachel relaxed as Puck drove the car into a pound that Rachel knew the police weren't gonna get nothing out of, Rachel grabbed their stuff and they walked home.
Rachel was in huge pain, she knew she didn't get hurt badly, just a hit on the head and scratches on her body, but she was insanely sore and everything hurted. They arrived home and the guys eye's widen when they took her appearance. Mike was the first to break the silence.
"What the hell Rach?" Mike screeched. He pulled her towards him and she let out a small yell of pain. Puck grunted and picked her up and carried into the apartment that they had gotten. Rachel can hear sirens and she tensed.
"I wasn't paying attention, and I crashed, which was perfect timing, and I actually burned it. It happened, and you can't do nothing to change it alright?" Rachel sighed out. "I just need to clean these cuts, pop pain killers and sleep, also I need someone to wake me up every hour to make sure I don't have a concussion." she said finishing off.
She went to the bathroom and everyone followed her. She grabbed her kit that was brought, and she took out everything, she inspected, she started to clean herself up and Puck joined in. Rachel would wince every so often, whining about her cuts. Matt got her a glass of water while Mike popped open the pain killers and gave them to Rachel.
After Rachel was cleaned up Artie sat her on his lap, and wheeled them to the living room, while Puck cleaned the mess they made. Rachel took the pain killers and the water and took it and they made their way to the living room.
"So how long are we going to be hiding?" Mike asked Rachel.
Rachel shrugged. "I just need to know if I am shown, we made sure that Noah wasn't present for when we got the cars, and I just want to make sure I'm not recognized, tomorrow, you three are going out to get me brown hair dye and some food." she told them.
Artie nodded and turned on the T.V since it was evening now. Artie was just scanning through channels when they found the news channel talking about the prison bus attack. Rachel paid close attention.
"This is all the aftermath of a daring, daylight breakout. There were 26 high-risk inmates being transferred when daring breakout, where everyone on board has been accounted for, except for one, Dominic Toretto." the girl reporter talked, showing the crash behind them. Rachel sat up a bit straighter. and so did all the guys. "A fierce manhunt is underway for four fugitives tonight. Multiple federal and local agencies have joined forces in the search for Dominic Toretto and his accomplices Brian O'Conner and Mia Toretto, and unnamed blonde hair, girl. But despite every eye in the country looking for them where, the girl, Toretto and O'Conner are now is anyones guess." she finished off.
Rachel just sighed in relief. "Good they didn't recognized me." she whispered, she yawned and laid on Puck's lap. "You going to wake me up every hour, Noah?" she asked. Puck chuckled and nodded and Rachel drifted off to sleep.
Puck just shook his head at her and pulled her closer to him. Mike stared at Rachel and then spoke up "So we don't need to hide right?" he asked.
Puck shook his head. "Nah, as long as they don't figure out it's her, we're good to go." he told them all.
Artie was on his laptop, when he check his email. "Dude, I have so many emails from everyone back home." he sighed out.
Puck chuckled. "Rachel made the mistake of turning on her phone the last time and there were so many calls, texts and voicemail, most of them being Brittany's." he explained.
Artie just smiled and looked back at his laptop, Puck noticed. "I think she's kind of perfect." Artie mumbled out as he read his emails. Puck just chuckled.
They all just watched some more TV, Puck left to make dinner, while Mike went to wake up Rachel.
"Rae, c'mon Rae." Mike shook her. Rachel whined, but opened her eyes "Alright, what's your name?" he asked her.
Rachel frowned in confusion. "Rachel Berry." she responded to him. Mike just smiled.
"No, what's your real name." Mike urged her. Rachel just scoffed.
"Carolina Rachel Toretto. I'm from L.A, my siblings and future brother in law are currently the most wanted people, and Noah is my boyfriend, you and Matt are like my brother from another mother, and Artie is my best friend." Rachel ranted.
Mike just laughed. "Atta girl, c'mon let's get you something to eat." he told her. Rachel stood up and winced. Mike just helped her walk to the kitchen and Puck just placed a kiss to her forehead.
"How you feelin babe?" Puck asked her.
"Like I've been run over by a damn train." Rachel muttered out grumpily.
The guys all laughed and helped set the table and get the drinks out. "So Rach, what are we going to do for the rest of summer?" Matt asked her.
Rachel sighed. "I don't know, but all I know is that I'm not going to get in contact with my family for quite a while." she told them.
"Just eat guys, tomorrow, we do what Rachel asked us to do, and then we'll figure out the rest." Artie told them. Rachel just smiled at him and nodded.
"Alright, get your ass up." Puck grunted out. Rachel just whined and kicked his hand off her ankle.
It was midday of the next morning and Puck was trying to wake his girlfriend up.
"Go away Noah." Rachel groaned as she got more comfortable in her bed. Puck just rolled his eyes and threw a pillow at her.
"Wake the hell up Rach." Puck growled.
"Go fuck yourself senseless and let me sleep." Rachel yelled from under the pillow. Puck just bursted out laughing at what his girlfriend said.
"C'mon baby, it's no fun being the only one awake." Puck whined.
"I'm injured! Leave me alone!" Rachel whined back.
"And who's fault is that." Puck deadpanned.
Rachel sighed, she grabbed the pillow that was thrown at her, and whacked Puck with it. "There's your fun, now go, let me sleep." she said as she got back comfortable in their bed.
Puck just chuckled, and he grabbed her leg and pulled her to him. Rachel just groaned, Puck just grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder, and took her downstairs.
"C'mon lazy one, we got things to do today, and we're heading to the beach." Puck told her. Rachel just sighed, then she smirked and started to play drums on his butt. "Oh shit, the hell Rach? Are you playing drums on my ass?" he asked.
"Yup, I am." Rachel replied, still slapping his butt. Puck just chuckled and threw her on the couch, she whimpered out in pain a bit and Puck was quick to her side to check her.
"Still hurting babe?" Puck asked her. Rachel just winced a little and shook her head.
"No, it's more soreness." Rachel responded, Puck just kissed her shoulder and stood up.
"I'm make breakfast and then when the guys come, we dye your hair, and then relax at the beach." Puck said, Rachel just smiled and climbed on his back and he walked them to the kitchen, he sat her on the stool.
"Any news about my family on the run?" Rachel asked, as she picked out the strawberries and ate them.
Puck shook his head. "Naw, and they still haven't figure out who you are." he told her, as he leaned down to her hand and bit strawberry she had in her hand.
Rachel just smiled at him. "Well that's a good thing, what's taking the guys so long?" she asked.
Puck shrugged, before he could even say anything, the door slammed open.
"We're here! We're here!" Mike huffed out. The guys entered the kitchen and Matt and Mike were huffing and puffing while Artie just looked scared.
"What the hell happened?" Puck asked.
"We got chased down by a dog." Mike sputtered out. Rachel just stared at them all and she bursted out laughing.
"Oh my god, that's just too funny." Rachel managed to wheeze out, and wince out at the same time.
The guys just glared at her and she just laughed, but wincing every so often. The guys just grunted and just sat around the table. Rachel just smiled and said grace when Puck served them all food.
"So are we still on for the beach today?" Artie asked. Rachel smiled and nodded.
"Yes, after dying my hair back to brown, then I'll go get dress to show my goodies." Rachel told them. Puck just smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at her, she just rolled her eyes and playfully slapped him.
The guys laughed. They all finished eating and Puck stayed to wash the dishes, and Artie helped rinse, Matt and Mike both took Rachel into the living room and they started to dye her hair.
"I swear if you guys mess my hair up, I'm gonna beat you guys up." Rachel threatened.
"Chill, this is easy shit Rach, just follow instructions right." Matt replied. Mike just nodded, Rachel sighed and nodded. She quickly went to change into old clothing, got some Vaseline to prevent the dye stains and grabbed an old towel.
"Alright, I'm ready." Rachel replied, as she sat down on the chair. She nervously looked around and saw Puck and Artie, sitting, watching a game on the T.V. "I swear to your balls guys, if you mess up, I'm cut you." she threatened.
Artie looked over alarmed and then smiled at her. "It's okay Rach, the guys won't do it."
"Of course they aren't, cause if they do, they're not gonna be able to make babies." Rachel said, in the sweetest and innocent voice as possible.
Matt and Mike just stared at one other and panicked, Artie just looked bored, and Puck was full out laughing. "Just hurry up guys, follow the instructions and you'll be good." Puck told them.
Rachel just sighed and they sat down and just grabbed her book and reading glasses and sit down on the chair that Mike had put. "Hurry up, I want to go to the beach, and read." she whined.
Mike just laughed and Matt kissed her hair. They quickly got to work on Rachel's hair, after 5 minutes of adding the color and another thirty minutes of waiting so they can wash it off, her phone rang. She frowned. "Get the phone, Noah."
"I'm going." Puck yelled out, as she ran up the stairs to grab it, he frowned when he saw the caller I.D said unknown. "Hello?"
"It's Dom." the voice said.
Puck sighed out in relief, when he heard him and smirked. "Dude, when I pass you Rachel, get after her, she crashed the car." he said.
"Throwing her under the bus, she's gonna beat you up." Dom laughed out. "But it's cool, I was calling for that, the last thing I saw, was smoke and that's that."
Puck just laughed and made his way downstairs. "You all good man?" he asked. Rachel looked at him and Puck put the phone on speaker.
"Yeah, well I'm in Cuba, staying at a cousin's place, hiding before I make another trip out, to find Brian and Mia, we got separated, in Mexico City, Tego and Omar thought it was smart to separate us, but Vince called us, to hide us in Brazil."
"But the main thing, is that your safe, and no one has caught you guys yet, right?" Rachel asked, scaring her brother a bit.
"Speaker phone, right? And yeah, I trust that Brian is taking car of Mia good. I'm meet up with them in Brazil."
"Alright, I can rest a bit more, knowing that you're okay, and that Mia is too, Brian his detective skills to protect them both." Rachel replied smiling at the guys, who just finished dying her hair.
"Also, what in the hell was wrong with you, crashing?"
"I wasn't paying attention. Crashed into a rock, but it worked out in the end, reports already came out about the car, and no traces can be done, and they gave up and left it." Rachel replied. She heard Dom sigh and then multiple voices in the background.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, so I don't know when I'll contact again. I love you Carolina, and stay out of trouble."
"Okay, go safe Dom." Rachel warned. The call got cut and she sighed.
"The good thing, is that your brother is doing okay right now." Artie spoke up. Rachel nodded and stood up.
"Yeah. Well I'm go wash this off, shower, and get ready for the beach, so get all things ready so we can leave." Rachel replied, she took off and they all quickly got their stuff together to leave.
In the shower, Rachel leaned against the wall and sighed, saying a small prayer in hopes that her brother makes it alive and safe to Brazil.
Updated, okay, I did a quick update, because it's been long, sorry that's my fault.
I wanted to focus on finishing up my story The Secrets of Lima first, and finish up the last chapter of The Perfect Dance, so I can focus on writing this story, so yeah.
