Mia walked into Vince's room with Jesse trailing behind her and Vince grinned at finally seeing people he wanted to see. "Hey Mia. Hey Jesse." Vince said.
"Hey Vince. How are you feeling?" Mia asked as she sat on the side of his bed facing him.
Vince took her hand in his, and said, "I want to go home."
"I'll see what I can do since you don't have the oxygen tube anymore."
"Thanks Mia." Vince said as he glanced between Jesse who was rather subdued for himself and then back to Mia. "How's Dom doing? The buster's boss came to me a few days ago and said Dom ran with him."
"Dom's good. He got his shoulder looked at and after about two weeks will be able to take off the sling and bandages. He's safe with Brian V. Brian won't let anything intentional happen to them."
"What's this that they aren't quite friends? What's going on there?"
"I don't know V. Dom didn't get into it at all. He just said they were driving and that he didn't know where Brian had in mind."
Vince snorted, "He has a lot of faith in that pig. He's not in Mexico though. That's what Tanner said when he saw me."
"Maybe Brian took him to somewhere in Canada while all of this blows over here." Jesse said.
"Brian does have the snowman nickname to live up to in all aspects of his life." Vince laughed.
Mia glared at Vince and said, "Behave. He saved everyone's lives. We might not be altogether but considering the circumstances he did well." She smacked his good arm after that.
"Sheesh Mia. I can't even be angry for two minutes at him." Vince grumbled.
"He lost everything when he went with Dom..."
"But he must have a plan if they haven't been caught so that means he has extra resources outside of whatever money he was making as pig." Vince sneered.
"Alright Vince you made your damn point." Mia snapped. Then she continued calmer, "Maybe Brian planned for something like this and he had things set back for when things got fucked up."
"He always seemed to have a backup plan to things." Jesse commented from the chair he had taken up residence in, his legs pulled up and his free arm resting on his knees.
Mia looked up at Jesse and said, "Yeah. Seemed that way."
Just then a doctor came into the room, dark blonde hair in a low ponytail and a file folder in hand. He shut the door back and he said, "I'm Mr. Logan's doctor, Dr. Jack Taylor."
"I was just about to find you. Anyway he can go home today?" Mia asked from her perch on the bed.
Jackie could see what Brian was talking about when it came to the Toretto team and he could see why wanted to take Dom far away from LA. He just hoped that Letty and Leon were alright and not in the clutches of Owen Shaw. Too bad that they already were. He looked through Vince's file and said, "As long as his bandages are changed twice everyday and he does the shoulder exercises that I've shown him to keep his shoulder in good shape."
Vince scowled at the mention of the exercises because he knew Mia would make him do them. Mia smacked his good arm again and said, "You're not pouting over your own stupid antics putting you here. You're doing what this nice doctor has told you to do and you're gonna get better."
Vince looked chastised enough that he said, "Fine I'll do the exercises." Then he looked at the doctor and said, "When can I leave?"
"As soon as I bring Ms. Toretto your check out papers with the instructions and prescriptions you'll need to take."
"Finally I can get out of this place." Vince said happy that he didn't have to deal with anymore hospital food or having to lay in the bed and listen to the monitors while he was trying to sleep.
"Yes you can." The doctor laughed. He looked at Mia and said, "I'll round up his paperwork and then you guys can go home."
"Thank you Dr. Taylor for taking care of Vince. I know he can be a handful." Mia said as she held her hand out for Jackie to shake.
"It's no problem Ms. Toretto. Can you come with me Ms. Toretto so we can take care of the paperwork." Jackie asked.
"Sure." Mia looked at Vince and said, "Behave and Jesse will keep you entertained."
"For this one time only." Vince smirked.
Mia glared at him but she just turned on her heel and followed Dr. Taylor out of the room. He gathered up all of Vince's check out papers and he said, "Follow me." Mia did and they went into a side room that looked to be his office. He sat behind his desk after he closed the door.
"What's going on Dr. Taylor? Is this about Vince and you just didn't want him to hear it yet?" She asked worriedly as she sat in the chair across from him.
"No. Vince is fine beside the shoulder injury. No this is about Brian..."
"How do you know Brian?" Mia asked looking over Dr. Taylor.
"He called me yesterday after he and Dom had a small tiff. They're good but Brian wanted me to pass you a message when you came to get Vince."
"Well what is it?" Mia asked dreading what the message possibly could be.
"Brian wanted you to know that when Vince is a little better that he'll be sending a package with information and passports for someplace safer than here."
"Somewhere safer? Who are you?" Mia asked shocked as she looked at Jackie.
"I'm his cousin but please don't tell anyone."
Mia pushed her chair back and stood up. "Then pass Brian a message - if he has these grand plans then he needs to call me! Give me the papers so I can sign Vince out!"
"I'll let him know but everything he's doing is for the safety of you all. I'm doing what I can to keep people off your trail." Jackie sighed as he ran his hand through his hair.
Mia huffed out, "And I appreciate it but he knows where I am and if I've got to move us wherever then he needs to call me and give me his own reasons!"
"I'll try and talk him into it. He's paranoid and for good reason."
"Paranoid? He didn't seem like he had a care in the world during his time with us."
"He's not bad at his job for a reason. If I can get him to call you then be prepared to listen."
"Fine! The papers! Now!" Mia said as she held out a hand. Jackie handed them to her and could only hope Brian survived the phone conversation. He didn't like Mia's version of the third degree. Mia found where she needed to sign and signed everything before handing the papers back to Jackie. "Now I'm taking Vince home." She left Jackie in his office and all he could do was stare at the door for a few minutes. Mia was a handful that was for sure.
