"You ready to go?" Sierra said walking into Lanie's house.

"Let me make sure the doors are locked." She said rubbing her eyes as she checked the patio doors and closed the windows on the first floor.

"You gonna be okay?" Sierra asked leaning against the door way to the foyer from the living room.

"No. Don't matter much anyway." She said with a shrug.

"Oh honey. There are plenty-" Sierra started

"Don't even go there. I swear I will scream." Lanie said with a blank expression.

"Ok. This your only bag?" She said pointing to the lone bag by the front door.

"Yea I figure I don't need much." She said pulling on a pair of knee high boots over her blue jeans.

"You always were a light packer." Sierra said as they started to put the bags into Sierra's Dodge Stratus R/T. Sierra started to get in her car till she realized Lanie wasn't moving to her spot behind the car. "What's wrong?"

"I can't just leave." Lanie said looking her straight in the eyes. "I told him in Long Beach that if he ever went back to that shit I would beat the shit out of him and make his life hell. I never said I would leave."

"So what are you going to do?" Sierra asked

"I'm gonna beat the shit outta him." Lanie said dead serious.

"I'll drive. You're not going without me." She said not stopping her from going. They got her car and Lanie gave instructions while trying to keep her emotions in check for what seems like the thousandth time in the last 2 days since everything happened. When they got to the fort they found all the teams cars there and music was coming from the backyard.

"Breath before you go back there, girl." Sierra said as she parked. "We don't want the cops being called."

"I can't promise that." Lanie said with a small smirk. As they got out of the car they rounded the house to find as usual Leon and Jesse playing baseball.

"Hey sis." Leon said running over and hugging Lanie tight.

"Where is he?" She asked hugging him back. After all it wasn't his fault for what happened.

"He is in his room. Has been since everything happened. That skank keeps trying to come around." He said not letting her go. "What are you going to do?"

"Me and him need to have a conversation." She said kissing his cheek and letting him go.

"Be careful." He said. "Yell if you need me."

"I'll tell him that." She said as she walked to the door. She walked past Mia who was in the kitchen cooking. She took the stairs downstairs and went straight to Vince's door. Not even bothering to knock she threw the door open and then threw it closed.

"What the…?" Vince said groggily as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you in the fetal position?" She said pulling the covers off him and finding him fully clothed and laying just how she thought.

"What are you doing here?" He asked sitting up.

"Why her? Why now? What did I do to make you go to her?" She asked calmly with her hands on her hips.

"You didn't do anything."

"Well OBVIOUSLY I did! Why? You owe me that."

"I don't know why."

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WENT BACK TO THAT BACKSEAT BIMBO AND GOT BACK ON DRUGS!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" She yelled taking steps closer.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY!?" He yelled back standing up.

"I WANT THE TRUTH? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED 2 DAYS AGO FOR YOU TO END UP BACK WITH HER!?" She yelled getting in his face even going so far as to pushing him back on to the bed.

"What do you want me to say? Huh? You want the truth? Alright, I've been having cravings again. She came by and she brought a weakness. I couldn't help myself." He said not really wanting to argue. He just didn't like arguing with her.

"And you couldn't tell me this before? Don't even thinking about using pride as an excuse."

"I didn't know how. What do I just come out and say 'I could really use some coke right now'. Seriously?"

"Not like that. You could've just came to me and said that you were having cravings." She said crossing her arms and leaning against a wall.

"And what would happen? Would you stand on the other side room like you are now? Disgusted with me."

"The reason I'm standing over here is because you still smell like that skank. It's taking a lot for me not to slap the teeth out of your mouth for being around her." She said "And anyways I would try and get you some help. When I told you I loved you to you not take me seriously or something?"

"I just didn't know what to do. I've been off it for this long I felt ashamed that I got hooked back in. This is something that never goes away. I'm stuck with this for the rest of my life." He said "Do you think you can handle that?"

"I can. I may not like everything that happens but I can deal. But you need to get some help and you need to make some changes in your life and they are totally up to you.

"I know I need to change. I can't keep living in the lifestyle the team has. The parties and races just don't do anything for me anymore. Are you serious about helping me though?" He asked with a look of hope in his eyes.

"Of course I do. I don't know about some of the other people in your life but I like to keep my word. But before we go any further you need to shower and burn those clothes. Then we can sit down and talk." She said.

"You going upstairs while I'm in there?" Vince asked standing up and grabbing some clothes.

"Yea. I need to talk to Sierra. Don't ask right now." She said shaking her head.

"Alright I be up there soon." He said with a small smile.

"Scrub." She said walking away with a chuckle. Going upstairs she found everyone in the kitchen looking guilty.

"Her hands aren't bloody." Letty observed.

"There's a sink downstairs." Leon said.

"Wow. What do you guys say when I'm not in the room?" Lanie asked sarcastically.

"So no trip?" Sierra asked looking kind of bummed.

"Sorry, honey. Actually if you leave now and pick up Greg and take him."

"Are you sure?" Sierra said looking skeptical.

"Yea. Go. You two need some time together. Alone." Lanie said "I just need to get my bag out of your car."

"Only if you are for sure for sure."

"I am. You're wasting time." She said with a chuckle.

"Alright." She said pulling out her cell phone as Lanie followed her outside. When Sierra was finally on her way Lanie made her way back in and put her bag on the floor by the door.

"So what's the deal? What happened down there?" Dom asked needing to know what was going on in his team.

"Me and Vince need to talk. From there we play it by ear. I'm not saying anymore till me and him talk." She said giving Dom a look.

"I don't want you pushing him." Dom said standing in front of her in an imposing matter.

"I'm not. It's his decision about what he wants to do. I will help him in every way I can. I'd hope you feel the same way." Lanie said not the least bit fazed.

"What are you trying to say? You know what I don't care. You can't just come in my house from your ritzy neighborhood and take my friend. It don't work that way." Dom said

"You don't know a damn thing about me so don't use what I have now against me. I'm not taking your friend from you. I'm helping him. If you don't like that, that is your problem not mine." She said

"Leon. You need to talk to your sister." Dom said still staring Lanie down.

"Why? What she says is right. V needs to get help more then anything right now. I'm not getting in the way of that." Leon said

"Me neither. I swear to god Dom, you get in the way I will tear you apart." Charlize said

"What's going on?" Vince asked coming up from the basement.

"Just having a talk." Charlize said getting up and hugging him tightly.

"Okay." He said hugging her back.

"Vince. I need to talk to you outside." Dom said walking to the door.

"Actually I really need to talk with Lanie." Vince said making Dom stop midstep.

"I think we need to talk now." He said with force.

"Dom!" Letty and Mia yelled.

"Fine! After you two talk we are talking. Tonight!" Dom said pointing to each of them to emphasis the two.

"Sure Dom." Vince said knowing he wouldn't really stop and he would just lay a guilt trip on him. "You ready, Lanie?"

"Yea. You wanna stay here or go out?" She asked as he came towards her.

"Out." He replied handing her the keys to his car.
