Later that night, Elena and Mia saw the Team at their cars, about to leave to do another heist, and after sharing a glance and a nod, they decided to try and stop them.
"Dom, don't do this."Elena said, grabbing Dom by the wrist, stopping Dom from opening his car door.
"Elena-We have respected you."Elena cut Dom off, glaring at her lover.
"And we haven't said shit."Mia added, crossing her arms."Now we're asking you not to go."
"Elena, Mia, I'm doing this for all of us."Dom said calmly.
"Don't give us that crap, Dominic Toretto."Elena warned Dom as she and Mia backed away from Dom."You're doing this for you."
"Why are you insisting on doing this?"Mia questioned Dom, but he didn't answer her and turned to get in his car with the others but Elena got in his way.
"Dom, please, just don't."Elena pleaded."You can't go without Jesse. It's dangerous as it is, and without Jesse, it's even more dangerous!"Elena exclaimed and Dom stared at her, staying quiet."Let me come with you."
"Elena!"Mia exclaimed, but Elena ignored her, keeping her gaze firmly on Dom.
"No, you're not getting involved."Dom said firmly.
"Don't you fucking take that Alpha voice me, Dominic!"Elena yelled, glaring at Dom furiously."And I'm all ready involved! I'm a better driver, Jesse, so let me help!"Elena said as tears formed in her eyes and she grabbed one of Dom's wrist.
"I said no, Evelina Mariana Perez!"Elena, startled, flinched at her full name being used."No means no, go back to the trailer."Dom said, shaking the brunette's hand off his wrist and forcefully, but gently, then physically moved Elena out of the way before opening the door and got in the car.
"Dom, please, just don't."Mia said but Dom just shut the door and drove off along with the others.
The brunette duo watched as the cars drove off before Elena started swearing under her breath in Spanish as she and Mia quickly started to walk away.
"Mia, what's going on?"Brian asked as he came running over to them and started walking beside Mia.
"What?"Mia said, looking confused.
"You know what I'm talking about."Brian retorted.
"No, we don't, Bri."Elena remarked.
"Oh so what? You always have tears in your eyes when Dom drives away?"Brian questioned them angrily, feeling rage, and most likely his Magic, bubble up beneath his skin at the sight of Elena in tears, as he followed them.
"What's the matter with you?"Mia exclaimed as Elena looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Come on!"Brian exclaimed."What's your Brother racing off in the middle of the night for? I'm talking about the trucks!"Mia paled at Brian's words and Elena's eyes widened."Do you know about the trucks?"
"No, Brian! What trucks?"Mia snapped as she started to walk away faster with Elena."Jesus Christ."Brian suddenly grabbed both their arms causing them to turn around.
"What, Brian!?"Elena growled out, glaring and felt her fangs extend, peaking out slightly and pressing against her lower lips.
"Listen to me."Brian said as a bad feeling started form in the pit of Elena's stomach."Mia, Elena, I'm working for the cops."He admitted and Elena, out of shock, felt her fangs retract, froze and stared at him in disbelief.
Mia stared at Brian with shocked, weary, and confused eyes."What are you talking about, Brian?"Elena wrenched her arm out of Brian's grip as a feeling of dread dropped into the pit of her stomach."What is this?"Mia questioned Brian
"What are you saying, Brian? You a fucking cop?"Elena questioned him suspiciously.
"Fuck no!"Brian denied it.
"But you said-I'm working for the cops, against my will, Ellie."The two brunettes glanced at each other then back at Brian, silently demanding that he better start talking."I lied about what happened in Miami. I was caught, and they forced me to make a deal; Work for them in undercover jobs that they wouldn't send their own into, or go to prison..."Brian's shoulders slumped as he looked at his Sister."Lompoc Prison."He added, causing Mia to gasp and Elena bit back a wince.
"Oh for fuck sake, Bri! Why didn't you say anything!?"Elena snapped, shoving Brian.
"Because if the cops found out I gave you the slightest hint that I was working for them, they wouldn't just lock me up, they'd get you too, Ellie."Brian explained, staring at Elena sadly.
"Fuck..."Elena mumbled.
"Why now? Why tell us now?"Mia suddenly demanded to know why Brian would out himself now.
"Because if your Brother and the others are out there right now, going to hijack a truck, someone is gonna get killed."Elena's and Mia's eyes widened in horror."The Truckers have started to arm themselves. They aren't just gonna take it, laying down anymore, girls."Brian stated, looking worried."Look, maybe they'll make it through tonight, but every law enforcement agency is coming down on them... If you two don't want anything to happen to the others, we have to go and stop them, right now."
"Mia, go back to the house."Elena suddenly said, taking charge.
"Elena-I heal faster, you don't!"
"Get back to the house, stay there and wait for Jesse. Try to also call Dom or Letty."Elena ordered Mia, knowing that if Dom didn't answer his phone, maybe Letty might.
Mia stared at Elena before she nodded and got in her car while Elena and Brian got in the Supra and drove out of race wars and went in the opposite directions.
"Civics are stashed somewhere outside of Thermal."Elena said, looking at the map.
"They wouldn't double back, and Highway 10 is too well patrolled."Brian said, glancing at Elena."So, what does that leave us with?"
"All this."Elena said sarcastically, gesturing to the map. Brian started to think before he pulled out his phone and dialed someone.
"Nextel."Came a neutral voice.
"Yeah, this is Officer Brian O'Conner."Elena looked at Brian sharply."Serial number 34762. I need a cell phone trace."
"Okay. What's the cell number?"The woman on the other line asked.
"Elena, what is it?"Elena was quiet."Come on, Elena. She needs Dom's cell phone number now."
Elena took the phone from Brian."323-555-6439."Elena said, her voice not cracking as she looked at Brian with tears in her eyes before she gave the phone back to Brian.
"Thank you."Brian whispered."Yeah, you get that?"After getting the info, Brian hung up on them.
"You said you weren't a cop!"Elena snarled.
"I'm not!"Brian snapped back at her, glaring."It's just, I've been forced to work for the cops for so long that all of that undercover shit that I get brought into, I've had no choice but to use those hotlines to help me, but they won't let me in without having an actual High Status in the Force, so..."Brian trailed off as Elena seemed too understand.
As the sun started to come up, Brian got a call back the tracing unit."Let me see this."Brian said and took the map from Elena, glancing from the map to the road a few times."All right, I think we're about forty miles away."Brian said, handing the map back to Elena.
"What are you gonna do?"Elena questioned Brian."What are you going to do?"She echoed her questioned again when Brian didn't answer and grew frustrated."Brian!"Elena yelled, panic setting in her heart.
"I don't know yet!"Brian yelled back at Elena.
When they got to the others, they pasted one of the cars and saw Letty and Leon."Oh shit."
"What?"Brian asked, knowing that Elena's vision was better then his.
"It's Vince, he's stuck."Elena said and flinched at the sound that assaulted her ears."The trucker's got a shot gun, Brian, speed up!"Elena said, rolling down her window when she saw the trucker shoot at Vince's side and Dom's engine, causing him to pull over.
"What are you gonna do!?"Brian exclaimed as Elena took off her seat belt.
"I'm gonna get Vince! You drive as close as you can beside the truck!"Elena exclaimed as they sped pass Dom and Elena got onto the hood of the car."Vince!"The brunette yelled to Vince."Keep it steady, Brian!"
"I got it!"Brian yelled to Elena."All right, hold on, Vince."Brian said to Vince as Elena, who was now crouching on the driver's side of the hood of the car, noticed that Vince was struggling.
"He's having a hard time holding on. Get me a little closer."
"All right."
"Closer."
"I'm moving in."
"Hold it right there!"Elena said once they were closer to the truck.
"Go!"Brian yelled and Elena jumped onto the truck and helped get the strap off Vince's arm before throwing him onto the Supra.
Elena quickly jumped onto the car after Vince, before the trucker could shot her right in the face and gripped Vince's shirt tightly while her other hand bent the metal of the hood inwards, allowing her to hold onto something. The trucker suddenly forced them off the road just as the others came in Leon's car.
Leon, Dom and Letty got out of the car."V!"Dom yelled as he saw Elena and Brian out of the car, a bit away from the Supra, crouching on either side of Vince.
"Oh shit."Leon exclaimed, eyes wide as he saw that Elena and Brian were trying to stabilize his wounds. Dom turned back to the car and looked in the back seat where Letty was sitting with shallow wounds.
"Letty, I'm so sorry."Dom said to Letty.
"Just go get Elena."Letty said and Dom nodded before turning to Leon.
"Watch her."
"Yeah, I got her."
"Come on, Vince! Hang in there! Come on!"Brian said, using his belt to stop the blood flow as Dom skidded to a stop and started to try and help."If he doesn't get to an ambulance in ten minutes, he's dead."Dom shook his head, knowing that if Vince went to the hospital, the cops would be able to link them to the hijackings."Hold the pressure. Hold his arm up."Brian instructed Elena.
"I got it."Elena snapped, already knowing what to do.
"Elena, your blood."Dom said and Elena shook her head.
"No, he doesn't want it."Elena said and Dom opened his mouth to say something but Elena quickly continued talking."If he's right"Elena nodded to Brian."and if Vince dies, he dies with my blood in his system. He'll turn into a Hybrid, Dom. He doesn't want to turn!"Elena exclaimed before turning back to Vince."Vince!"She exclaimed as Brian pulled his phone out to call someone.
"Yeah. Yeah, this is Officer Brian O'Conner."Dom's head snapped up and he looked up at Brian with disbelief and betrayal in his eyes, before his eyes flashed yellow in rage."I'm off-duty MAPD."Brian was looking at Dom, who looked murderous, as he said this."I need a life flight roll out right away."Brian explained as Dom started to stand up."My twenty is Highway 86, mile marker 147. I got one trauma victim, about 24 years of age. Six-foot, maybe 200 pounds. He's got a deep laceration to his right arm with arterial bleeding."Dom looked at Brian then to Elena, who was shaking her head."And he's got a shotgun wound close range to his left flank. Yeah."Brian looked at Dom then glanced at Vince, his eyes widening."Yeah, and he's going into shock!"Brian said, snapping Dom out of his rage and went back to helping Vince as Brian ended the call."Can't you stop the bleeding, what about just a little bit of your blood?"
"No, even the smallest bit can turn him into a Hybrid, Brian!"Elena exclaimed.
It wasn't long before a chopper came and the medic's were hoisting Vince up and taking him away with Brian helping them to the chopper. After getting Vince settled in the chopper, Brian turned to see Dom walking back to Leon and Elena looking between him and Dom.
"Elena, let's go!"Elena, after sending one last glance to Brian, ran over to Dom and got in the backseat next to Letty while Dom got in the passenger seat.
"Oh, Letty."Elena said as Leon drove away from the scene.
"I'm ok, Ellie."Letty said gently.
Getting back to the House, Dom told Leon to take the girls down to Mexico while he went to find Jesse, but Elena got out, telling them that she'd ride with Dom because she was going to grab them some clothes for her, Letty, and Dom, along with her burner phone.
Elena had just finished packing her's and Dom's clothes, as she had already packed Letty's clothes, while listening out for the sound of the cop sirens and Mia, who was pacing downstairs, when she heard the Supra pull up to the house.
"Dom, put the gun down now!"She heard Brian yell to Dom.
"Shit!"Elena exclaimed and grabbed her phone, putting it in her pocket and ran down stairs and almost ran right into Mia.
"Elena, what's wrong!?"Mia exclaimed, seeing the worried look on Mia's face.
"Brian's here."Elena said and Mia's face fell.
"Move your car."Dom said in a low voice.
"No. Bullshit."Dom opened the car door open."Put it down now! No more running!"
The same door slammed shut."I'm not running!"Dom yelled angrily.
"Where's Leon, Letty, and Elena?"Brian questioned Dom.
"They're long gone."Dom partly lied.
"Then it's over."Brian stated."I didn't call the Police. But don't push me!"Brian warned Dom."Put the gun down! I swear to God!"
"You're the Cop!"Dom snarled and Elena jumped, looking at the door along with Mia, having heard Dom yell."You're a Cop! Brian, I got to find Jesse before they do. I'm all the kid's got."
"I'll call in the plates."Brian suddenly said in a calm voice."P.D. will pick him up before Johnny even gets near him."The blonde said, trying to keep Dom from doing anything.
"Move your car."Dom demanded.
Mia had enough of listening and walked over to the door, opening it."Dom, stop it!"Mia exclaimed as Elena came out behind her and moved passed her to get in between Dom and Brian when she saw the gun pointed at Dom's head."It's over. Please!"
"Mia, stay out of it!"Dom snapped as Elena came closer, watching Brian warily.
"Dom."Elena warned him.
"Elena, get back inside the house."Dom said without turning to look at her."Move the-"Dom cut himself off at seeing Jesse's car appear and come to a halt.
"Jesse!"Elena exclaimed in relief at seeing Jesse get out of the car and ran over to him, hugging him, which he returned before turning his complete attention on Dom.
"Dominic, I am so sorry."Jesse said, looking completely lost and terrified."I don't know what I'm doing, Dom."Brian and Dom looked at each other."I'm so scared right now."Elena put a hand on the small of Jesse's back as Brian slowly lowered his gun and Dom threw the shot gun away."I don't know what's going on."
"Jess!"Dom barked out and Elena gave him a look."What were you thinking, man?"
"I don't know! I panicked! I'm sorry!"In unison, Dom and Elena turned sharply at hearing the sound motorcycle engines approaching."I'm scared!"They saw two motorcycles and knew who it was."I don't know what I'm doing."Elena heart was literary in her throat at seeing the guns that Lance and Johnny were carrying."Will you please help me."
"Dom!"Mia exclaimed as Brian and Dom ducked out of the way.
As a few bullet came Elena's and Jesse's way, Elena yanked Jesse down behind his car. Smelling fresh blood, Elena sat up and looked down at Jesse, seeing the bullet wound in his chest, luckily, it wasn't anywhere near his heart, but there was a lot of blood.
"Jesse? Elena!?"Mia exclaimed as Dom came to Elena's side and took Jesse from her.
"E-Elena..."Jesse gasped out as Mia came down the stairs.
"Dom, I have to dig into his chest and get the bullet out."Dom looked at Elena like she was crazy."Let him go!"Elena exclaimed, glaring at Dom.
A look of understanding appeared in Dom's eyes before he looked over at Brian, who was looking murderous before he got into his Supra and drove off.
"No, Dom, no!"Mia said as she suddenly had Jesse in her lap and Dom was leaving.
Elena looked torn between what to do when she realised what Dom was going to do before she quickly teared Jesse's shirt opened. Elena then brought her wrist up to her mouth, tearing her skin open again with her fangs.
Pulling away from her wrist, and forcing her said bloody wrist against Jesse's mouth, letting him such on her blood as she shoved her free hand into Jesse's chest, causing him to struggle from the new blooming pain in his chest.
"Mia, hold his head!"Elena yelled at Mia.
Mia did as she was told, making sure Jesse was still drinking Elena's blood while Elena looked for the bullet in his chest. Finding it, Elena wrenched it out of his chest and watched as the now hand sized wound started to heal rapidly.
Pulling her wrist away from Jesse's lips, she smiled down at him."Thanks, Elena."Jesse said softly.
"Get him inside."Elena said shakily.
Nodding, Mia helped Jesse up and towards the house with Elena trailing them. Once they were safely inside the house, Elena went to the sink to get Jesse's and Vince's blood off her hands, which were shaking.
"Elena..."Mia trailed off as Elena looked up her.
"I have to go, Mia. I can't stay. The trucker saw me get Vince. He saw my face."Tears welled up into Mia's eyes."Look after Jesse, all right?"Mia nodded."I'm serious. Don't let him out of your sight until the twenty four hours are up."Elena wiped her hands before going over to Mia and kissed her on the forehead."I love you. Tell Jesse, I love him too?"
"I will."Mia sobbed and the next thing she knew, Elena was gone.
"Mia?"Mia turned to see Jesse standing in the doorway, looking confused and lost.
"We'll be ok, Jesse."Mia said strongly and Jesse nodded slowly.
