Okay I am so sorry to my readers that started to read this when i started it almost forever ago. I could make up excuses like that i had writers block or was busy doing this and that but in reality i just did not feel like working on this story. However thank you to all the people that have been sending me alerts since i wrote my last chapter. I got an email saying someone had add this to there alerts and i was so shocked because i thought that my story was done being read and there was no one that wanted to read it anymore. after that i sat down and started to work on this chapter. It reminded me to how much i love these charaters and my reviewers. This is not the last chapter and i promise it will not take two years to get the next chapter up.

warning at times Rome will be refured to as the black guy. I am not trying to affent anyone it is just that they do not know his name yet and i needed a way to enphisis who they are talking to. I am sorry if i affend anyone.

Dom POV

I ran to the shop and seen Brian lying on the floor with a lot of blood slowly spreading around him. Mia was screaming as the tears started to form rivers on her cheeks. I got to my knees next to her and checked to see if Brian was even breathing anymore. It had looked like he had been shot in the chest but it was so hard to see with all of the blood.

"Mia, my car is around the block go run and drive it over we have to get him to the hospital." I yelled as a car started in the back parking lot. Shit. I ran out shutting at the back of the car at I seen it peal out of the lot. There were 2 guys inside but I didn't care at the moment. I had to help O'Connor because he had helped me once.

As I turned back around to get back into the store I saw another car start to slow to a stop next to me. A black guy rolled down the window an asked what was going on and if I knew a Brian O'Connor.

"Yeah I know a Brian O'Connor but what is it to you? I can't chat." I replied as I ran back to the shop. I had not even taken the time to notice that a girl had stepped out of the car and was in the shop.

"OH MY GOD! Rome, get in here; it is Bullet." She had yelled to the black guy in the car. I was lost what did she mean it was bullet? The only person in the store was Brian and he was quickly bleeding to death on the floor.

Rome POV

When Suki said Bullet I was out of the car in a second flat. I knew it took a lot for Suki to get freaked out and worried and that meant only one thing. Bri was in trouble and I had to help. I had hated him for so many years for not trying and stopping the court from sending me to jail. However in reality I knew that he would have tried if he knew and that he probably did try all that he could.

When I walked in to the store I did not expect to see him there like that. Bri had always been a fighter and to see him lying on the floor like that. I could not begin to explain the feeling. I turned to see the bald guy from outside standing behind me.

"What the hell kind of store do you have here?" It only took a second for me to grab the gun from the waist band and point it at him. "What do you think you are doing to my friend here? Just for what you have done I should put two rounds in your head."

"Look as much as I would like to say I put those shots in him I didn't." the bald one stared me down I could see the truth in his eyes lowered my gun. "Look there was some guy who was holding him and my sister hostage. He actually happens to be lying on the floor over there. He is the one that put those shots in Brian.

I looked over and seen Verone lying on the floor, dead. A girl walked in as I turned around. She was covered in blood too; but it did not look like it belonged to her.

Dom's POV

"Help me get him in my car so we can get him to the hospital. Mia call them so they know we are on the way." I paused and looked at my sister's face seeing only shock and fear. "He will be okay. I promise. Remember he is hard to get to leave" I said trying to calm her down as the black guy helped me get O'Conner in my car. The Asian girl climbed in the back with him to try and slow the bleeding.

Mia goes in the car with the other guy and we raced to the hospital. When we pulled up there was a team of doctors waiting for us. We handed over Brian and I wrapped my arms around my little sister. She still had the look of shock plastered on her face as we made our way into the waiting room.

Rome's POV

We followed the guy and girl into the waiting room. "So how do you know O'Conner" the guy asked as he settled down with the girl in a chair.

"He has been my best friend since grade school. He saved my ass many times as I tried to steel cars to race when we got older. I am Rome and this is Suki by the way. She is our friend from Miami. What is your guys' story with Bri?"

"I am Dom and this is my sister Mia. Brian was an undercover cop when we met him. He was trying to catch us hijacking semis. However, in the process he fell in love with Mia and the family so when he caught us he let us walk away and he took the blow." The baled guy answered, sounded like the classic Bri; falling into trouble over a girl. God please let him be okay.

Mia's POV

It felt like a lifetime had passed as we sat in the waiting room. Dom had gone outside to call the rest of the family to let them know what happened. He said they were going to stay at the house and to give them a call if anything happened and they would be here as fast as they could.

I could hear the tick of each second on the clock and hoped with each tick Brian was still alive and fighting. A police officer wearing a Hawaiian shirt walked up.

"Hey Rome what happened. How is are boy Brian holding up" the police officer said to Rome.

"Well Bilikins according to the doctors he is really messes up. They said the bullet just missed his heart and hit a few of the main arteries and went through on of his lungs. He also has a gunshot on his right side it is nothing life threatening but it is not helping him stop bleeding. He is still in surgery though and it is pretty touchy." Rome replied.

I did not know how these to men knew each other or Brian but it was clear they cared about him. I just sat there listening to them so that maybe the time would pass a little faster.

"Well I gave Lynn a call when I heard that it was touch and go. She is on her way. I have no idea what to say to her. The officer said.

"What did you tell her?" asked Rome a look of concern crossed his face.

"Only that Brian was in trouble and really needed her. I could not tell her that…" officer Bilikins was interrupted by a tall blond girl who was walking into the hospital. She had a slim figure with the same blue eyes as Brian. The eyes that continually took my breath away and yet I may never see them again.

"You could not tell me what Bilikins and why was I sent to the hospital to see you? God you look like some on is dead." The girl asked I am guessing that she is Brian's sister that he had failed to mention. She looking to be in her early 20's and completely unknowing of what was happening.

"Bri was shot Lynn and it is looking pretty bad." Rome said when she started to cry and so did I thinking that Brian might not make it. Dom wrapped his arms around me and held me tight as if he could just make all the pain of reality disappear. I just sat there in his arms until I had cried myself to sleep.

well i hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as i did when i was writing it. I appoligies for any mistakes that i made with spelling and gramer( i tend to not reallyy pay attenton when i am writing). Please Review and let me know what you think. I will try to get the next chapter up within the month but i am crazy busy with school so i cant promise much.
