She stopped at a red light and took the time to take out her phone and look for the person she knew would help her with some info about Sam. She didn´t know if Faye had the same number, she made the call, the phone at the other end of the line started to ring and a familiar voice was heard.
"Faye, It´s Mia. Meet me at my house, I need your help ASAP," not giving a chance to the girl to reply to Mia´s request.

She then quickly search for Brian´s phone, relief washed over her as Brian´s phone was still in her contacts list, she was glad for a moment she never deleted it his phone number.

It took only a few more rings for him to pick up. "I can´t tell you much over the phone but if you are still in the house stay there, I need your help. Faye´s on her way too," ending her conversation.

She was more than sure Sam will never share a thing of his conversation with Stephano but that didn´t mean Sam was going to sit back and relax, just as her he was going to search her life. After all, that day they met their first and last names were said as they shook hands.

Brian had been sitting on the front steps for a while waiting for Dom to return with his brother. Car after car passed the street but it wasn't them. By now the ex cop was calm as a cucumber again and decided to put some ice on his swollen knuckles since Mia offered to use her home.

Inside he found a few frozen peas and a jug of cool water.
Just when he sat down and drank some water his phone started ringing. Immediately he thought it would be dom calling him or even Jack but it was Mia. Her voice was trembling when she spoke so Brian interrupted her to ask what was going on but she hung up before he got an answer.

The time until she arrived at the Fort dragged on and on and got him truly worried so when he heard her car her instantly got up and opened the front door.
"Are you alright, Mia? What's going on?" He asked with great concern and gave her the once over to make sure she hadn't run into any trouble.
Then he motioned for the house. "You told me I could wait inside. I was hoping that Dom or Jack would come back. I...I...I shouldn't have done that. Jack's so damn stupid but..." He stopped his rambling to look into her worried face. "What?"

She locked the door behind her and tried to calm down as a million things race through her mind. "Remember that day, when I called Dom and you gave him a ride to a beach house. Well, I bumped into Stephano, aka head of the mafia or "my uncle" as I used to call him, when I got there … there was this man in his mid 30´s and I arrived just in time to see Stephano slap him..."

She sighed and continued talking "Dom and I learn later that that guy is in charge of killing Jack, and I was just back at the beach and bump into that guy again, I kept pushing him, waiting to hear his version but he didn´t say a thing, I need your help and Faye´s to dig up some information on this guy: Sam Ward," she sat down trying to remember her conversation with Sam at the beach.

"He tried to intimidate me but it was useless, the only thing I do know about him is that he visits his mother and some friends, I also took his mother as bait and tried that way to get out something from him. I have a bad feeling about him, I am more than sure he already knows everything about me, that I have a brother, where I work, where I live…” she looked down at her hands, her gaze was tore from her hands and focused straight into his blue eyes. “And you too.”

Shit was going down and as per usual Faye was being kept out of it. Not that she was complaining because honestly she was just getting her life back on track, her engagement to Walter had come out of left field but she was still happy about the whole thing. Work was murder and the information she was finding was not something she wanted to find. Cole had not been joking about this mob boss and just how bad he was. Flipping through all her paper work she sighed as she brushed dark locks of hair behind her hair and down her back, it had been a long week and work didn’t seem to be letting of. It was her phone that finally broke her concentration. Checking the caller ID she frowned when she saw that it was Mia.

“Whats up girl?” That was as much as she got out of Mia. The phone was being hung up before Faye could even ask any more questions. One thing she knew was that Mia needed help so she was going to damn well help her. She had sat out last time and things had gone down that she hoped she could have at least stopped from happening. Slipping into her shoes she grabbed her keys and headed in the direction of the fort, breaking every speed limit she could to get there. Cars were already outside signifying that she was the last to arrive, why did that not surprise her.

Not bothering with the whole knocking thing she just pushed open the door “Whats wrong?” She questioned as she looked between Mia and Brian her eyes furrowing ever so slightly. Mia seemed pale and concerned, worrying marring her features and Brian didn’t look much better. Looking over to her friend she walked over towards her pulling her into a hug. “You said you needed my help” Blue hues flicking in the location of Brian.

"Hey," she hugged Faye back. "Thanks for coming... I need you to find information on Sam Ward," Faye looked puzzled for a moment, wondering who was Sam? She took her hands. "I will explain everything in just a second....but first you need to take a seat,"

Mia knew Faye had a new life with Walter, but she was unsure of how she would react about Jack. "Jack´s in danger, we are all in danger," she simply said as she started to explain the events of the past couple of days.

Mia did not get flustered often, and she was flustered. Her brow furrowed as she pulled back from the embrace, her gaze shifting over to Brian and then back over to Mia, yea the pair of them needed to sort their shit out because there was some serious tension between them, that was for damn sure. Pulling her thoughts away from the match making she focused on Mia, her eyes going wide ever so slightly “What the hell have you guys got yourself messed up in?” When Mia told you to take a seat with that look in her eyes you damn well did as you were told and that was exactly what Faye was doing taking a damn seat.

Snapping her blue hues in the direction of Mia her brow furrowed, she had run into Jack and he hadn’t told her once that he was in trouble, but then the way things had ended between them why would he? Swallowing she sat on the edge of the couch listening to her words, her eyes going wide as she listened shaking her head. “I knew I should have ignored your brother” Biting the inside of her lip she let out a frustrated huff. She could have damn well sorted this If she had gone to Stephanio and spoken to him when she was going to. Now look where everyone was.

“Ill go into the office, see what I can find on this guy, he’s a professional theres going to be something on him. Not sure how much it will help but its worth a shot” Brushing a hand through her hair Faye nodded her head. “You guys have really gotta step getting into trouble”

Brian was glad when Mia came back because he still liked her presence no matter how she felt about him. Her words however worried him. It was never good when she talked about her uncle and lately there had been way too much involvement of the criminal in his friends and brothers life. So this couldn't be good.
At first Brian didn't think much of a guy getting slapped by Stephano but the fact that this guy was in charge of killing his brother had him on the edge of his seat in no time.
Instantly he wanted to go out and put the guy behind bars but then Stephano would hire the next guy without their knowledge. they needed to be smart.
"Sam Ward?" He asked wrinkling his brow. "Doesn't ring a bell."
When Mia continued to describe how she was pushing and intimidating a hired killer Brian became not only worried but angry. "You did what, Mia? Are you crazy? the guy kills for a living and you try to push his buttons? I know my brother does stupid shit like that but you are usually smarter."
His frown left deep wrinkles on his face but he soon eased up on her. "Don't do that, Mia. I appreciate your help but watch out. I can't loose two people at once. Please, be more careful.

A car arriving had Brian look out the front window. It was Faye, not any one of her uncles employees.
"Great, is this going to be a party now? Who else is going to be involved in this?"
He slumped down in a chair because he simply didn't know how the girls could willingly put themselves in so much danger.

When the girls were finished talking Brian approached Faye. "Can you keep me in the loop, too, please. The jackass is my brother after all." Unconsciously he rubbed his throbbing knuckles. At least he had 'told' Jack his opinion this time.

She saw it coming, the way Brian reacted angry, she knew her actions were so unlike her. "I cannot promise you I won´t do what I did again. The guy started to ask questions, what was I supposed to do? Play cool and let him know who my brother is or what he did? Either if I walked away he wouldn´t hesitate to find information about me,"

Brian wasn´t happy either when he saw Faye walked in. "You can always walk away, Brian. You should walk away.... you have a family now, worry about them and Jack too, not me" She turned to Faye.

"Thank you Faye," she offered Faye a quick smile, it was just a matter of hours for her to know who Sam was, it wasn´t going to be hard to find him, the only thing that scared her was Brian. He couldn´t get more involved in all of this.

"It's too late, Mia." Brian ran his hands over his face in desperation.
"I already know about it. I can't let him down. He's my brother. I can't just let him die." His voice cracked when he thought about the stupidity of it all and that Jack might care less than everybody else. Still Brian couldn't walk away. Not when his brothers life was at stake.

"Mira can take care of the twins. I have to help Jack."
This was a matter of fact, not more not less.

"So tell me everything you know...about what Jack did and what they want from him...exactly and then we need an adress of that Sam guy to keep an eye on him to be there when he makes a move."

He first looked at Mia, then let his eyes wander to Faye, who would hopefully do the footwork and set them up with what they needed. "Faye?"

OOC: oops, wrong face

"You listen to me; you will not follow Sam around. I am not going to have you risk your life out there, not when there is a high probability of him identifying you as Jack´s brother, there is no way in hell you will keep an eye on this guy, do you understand?" She understood where he was coming from, but she just couldn´t have him around Sam...

She was at risk too but she´d rather confront Sam than Brian, just to think of what Sam will do to Brian if the two bump into each other, if Sam wanted to send a message to Mia or Jack...No, she could argue all day with Brian, this time he wasn´t going to win.

"The only info he gave me or Dom about Jack was that he (Jack) managed to lose a very important set of containers Stephano had trusted Jack with, He thought it was fully intentional, for Jack´s own benefit or for Stephano´s demise”

She frowned trying to remember the last set of words that was said from the head of the mafia to her brother. "In his last words to Dom he mentioned Sam, he never said his name but I know he meant Sam, his words were: "I have one man that is on his case, but I do believe he is too insecure to do what may be necessary. I need you to pick up his slack. You need to be the man that will get my point across, and pull the trigger when it is time."

It was interesting that Mia was suddenly very interested in Brian's wellbeing when not too long ago she told him to not even try to be her friend.
"Since when are you telling me what to do?" He enquired a little amused and then added. "Seems like you actually care a little more than you admit."

He gave her a long, hard look. It was hard not to be around Mia anymore but under these circumstances he'd prefer not being friends with her and lead a happy, boring life.

"I think he was right. It would be like Jack to mess with the biggest mobster around. he probably stashed it somewhere."

Her next words had a tiny bit of information that gave him hope. "So he said that his hitman might not go through with it and hired your brother who will also not go through with it. Maybe Jack's got a chance after all. Do you have any idea why he might not go through with it?"

She shook her head as he listen to his words. "Since you have a family, since this guy knows everything about me, including you and besides I don´t want your children to grow up fatherless, that´s it" She didn´t remove her eyes from him as she spoke. If the circumstances were different and she was the one with children and Dom in danger. Would Brian respond the same way as her?

"I really hope Stephano doesn´t find Jack, so I have a chance to kill him myself," she took her long hair over her left shoulder and started to braid it.

"I have no idea, guess I´ll have to find out once Faye hands me the information on this guy," it was getting dark outside and Dom wasn´t back yet.
