She spent a few more minutes inside the car, still a little shaken up by the events with Sam. The back of her neck hurt a little, and also could feel the back of her blouse a little soaked up by the small amount of blood.
She had to take care of that as quick as she could. She eyed her house, it didn´t look like there was anyone inside. That was a good sign. She finally got out and the moment she closed the door she could feel how shaky her hands were, she really had to just calm down, nobody could know what went down between her and Sam back at the building. "Dom?" she called her brother as she entered the house and got no answer, relaxing a little.

His nerves were shot. With Mira coming home with the babies in two days and Jack up against a mobster and his thugs Brian hadn't slept properly in days. He needed confirmation that his brother would live...not even that he'd be okay, just that he would not die.
Running his hands through his messy, long hair and over his chin that desperately needed a shave he nervously tapped his foot while he was waiting on the back porch of the Fort for somebody to return. Somebody, who could give him any information on how Jack was doing since his brother didn't gave any real answers when he got a hold of him or simply didn't pick up. Who could blame him after getting beat to mush by his own brother.
After what seemed an eternity he finally heard Mia's call inside the house. Instantly Brian was on his feet and knocked on the back door.
Obviously nerve wrecked he asked Mia. "I'm sorry to come here unanounced but ...do you know anything about Jack? I'm really worried."

She jumped when she heard a knock on the back door, guess she was wrong about being alone. For some reason she looked down at her hand around the doorknob and noticed the dried blood on her fingers. "Crap," she whispered as she open the door. Seconds later Brian walked in to her kitchen and took a seat.
She went to the sink and watched her hands, filling a glass with water and joined Brian placing the glass in front of him at the table. She shook her head. "I haven´t heard from Dom either,"
"You don´t look so good," looking at his tired face. She didn´t look good either, but didn´t show it or at least try not to.

Brian watched her with weary eyes because he was eager to hear an answer. A good one. Instead Mia brought him a glass of water and told him she hadn't heard anything. His hopes sank and he admitted. "Yeah, Jack's been going around in my head all night long. I'd hate to loose him as much of a pain as he is." He put his elbows on the table and his head in his hands while he watched her.
Mia looked pale and worried. If he saw that right he was also shaking a little. "Are you okay?" He asked with growing worry and got up from his chair to maybe hug her...if she let him.

So, he noticed something was wrong. She accepted his hug and closed her eyes for a moment. Remembering how close Sam was to end her life, how easy and quick someone could snap her neck. She wanted to blurt it out to Brian, after all he warned her but he had so much on his shoulders.
She bit her lips her emotions were eating at her, her eyes sting and she was afraid to speak, afraid she was going to break down right then and there. "Yes, I´m fine. I just forgot to eat this morning... with everything that´s going on," she could feel his hand up and down her back.
Her long hair covered the nape of her neck where she could feel her blouse a little wet, she had to clean that damn wound, and she could feel blood oozing from it. Hopefully Brian would buy her words about her being okay. She doubted to be honest…

Brian could feel her tense under his touch at first. No wonder. After all she didn't exactly fancy hugging him. Her ran his hand up and down her back and felt her strenuous breaths.
The explanation about not eating didn't satisfy him. Maybe Mia didn't tell him everything. So he enquired. "Mia, you don't need to spare me. Is there something you know about my brother that..."
When he hand reach under her hair near the collar of her shirt he felt something wet, so he drew it back and looked at his hand. Red. there was blood on his fingers. "You're bleeding."

"I´m fine," she moved away from him to clean the blood. In no time he was going to start asking questions.
What lie could she tell him? Would it be better if she told him the truth? But if she told him, she was sure he was going to make everything in his power not to leave her alone afraid she was gonig to find Sam again... although she didn´t plan to do that... it wasn´t in her plans looking for Sam but for his mother.
She sighed in frustration, not knowing what to do. What other way could she explain how she had that small cut in her neck? "No need to worry about..."

Dom wasn't in the greatest of moods, his "talk" with Jack didn't exactly help either. The damn kid was seemingly determined to get himself killed and Dom would be blaming himself for it, no doubt. The more he thought about it, the more he believe drastic measures would need to be taken to spare them all, and running wasn't one of those measures.
His was a little surprised on his arrival back home to see Brian's Subaru out front, but didn't think a whole lot of it, that was becoming a familiar sight now. He parked his car in the driveway and entered the house, slamming the door behind him, to find Brian and his sister inside. All he could derive from the situation was an exceptionally worried look on Brian and a frustrated look on Mia, he didn't take notice to anything else. "You two still trying to figure this out, or what?"

Before she could object any further Brian moved around and lifted her hair to look at where the blood was coming from. There was a small nick on the back of her neck. It didn't look too bad but had run down into her shirt. "Looks like you cut yourself." He let her hair drop but while it was running through his fingers he felt the large cut off strand and looked at it again. "What the hell happened here, Mia?"

Busted. “Nothing happen,” she tried to avoid the subject, he wasn´t going to buy it. She heard the sound of screeching tires, there was only one person who would do that especially when he was pissed, and it had to be Dom.
Dom entered the kitchen and opened his mouth; she frowned not liking the tone of voice he used towards her. "Well, hello to you too," she fired back the same way he did. "Looks like your little talk with Jack didn´t have a happy ending,"
Great! Now not only Brian found out about the cut on her neck and her hair but now she had to deal with an angry Dom. This was going to get ugly, she was sure Brian would have no problem to fuss about her approaching and threatening Sam and let Dominic all about, not only that but Brian warned her and like the stubborn girl she is, she went looking for trouble and what was the result? She was almost killed by Sam.

Mia's voice told him that she may have had an adventure herself recently, though maybe she just sounded that way cause Brian was around. "Fuckin' kid is in a lions den and is completely oblivious." He subconsciously made a fist and frowned at Brian. Now he could understand a little way Brian acted out the way he did early. Jack didn't take wisdom, so you just had to pound it into him instead.
He caught a glimpse of Mia's neck while Brian was taking a look at it himself, despite Mia's persistence. Immediately he thought there was something more to it than just a cut. Brian's concern, her attitude, something was up. "What were you doing, Mia?" He took a few steps closer to see for himself.

"I was doing nothing," she said to her brother, he just couldn´t know or Brian. When Dom came closer she slap his hand away. "You know how Brian likes to overreact," how long could she keep this up? How long...?
She look at Brian listening to Dom´s words about Jack. "So, now what?" Jack was an idiot that was for sure and Stephano had to hear Dom´s status on Jack. She was sure as hell about not going back to look for Sam...at least not now.

Dom's frown grew as his hand was batted away, now he really knew something was up. "You're not fooling me, Mia." He said in a low grumble. He took a glance at Brian to gauge if he was overreacting about something, he had no reason to believe so.
Her question was a good one, what options were left for them? An idea resonated in the back of Dom's mind, it wasn't clean, and it may even have been a little out of character for him, but he was beginning to think it was there last option. Fight fire with fire. "That kid that drives for Dieseli, Cole, how much do you trust him, O'Conner?"

This is it, it was now or never. She pulled out the files on Sam. "That guy that Stephano mention about being useless..." She handed them to Dom so he could take a look. "He knows everything about us, about me,"
"He said..." replacing the word "threat". "Stephano would know what I was trying to do and..." she stopped talking for a second. Moving her hair to one side so the wound was visible to him also the missing lock of hair, she winced as if Sam hands were under her chin and head again. "...he sent me a message,"

Of course Brian knew something was up when he saw the small cut on her neck and the missing hair. This wasn't a hair dresser accident. But his train of thought got interrupted by Dom's arrival., who didn't look happy at all. Apparently Jack had shown any remorse and promised to make things right even though Brian was still hoping that he would. "Tell me something I don't know." He answered Dom about Jack's obliviousness. When he wanted to know about Cole Brian shrugged. "He's the same kind of stupid as Jack but he's got the heart in the right place, I'd say. I trust him. Why?"
before Dom could answer his question Mia slapped a file on the table that contained information about the other assassin, the real killer in this game. Brian's jaw dropped slightly when he picked up the file and then looked at Mia. "You saw that guy!" Slowly shaking his head he voiced his thoughts. "Why would you? He's a hired killer, Mia! You're just as dumb as Jack!" Brian simply could not wrap his mind around her going alone and putting herself in danger like this. The thought alone made him angry. "Are you out of your mind?"
Gasping he took a step back dropping the file on the table, which made some of the papers slide out. His eyes only caught the picture and name on the file before he turned away and ran his hands through his hair indesperation. "This can't be happening...." For a minute he was pacing the floor trying to make sense of it all before he turned back to the others and simply stated. "Jack's gotta dissapear."

She knew Brian was going to be angry but ´angry´ didn´t apply to what Brian reaction was he just lost it with her. It was a dumb thing for her to do, still she didn´t know why she did what she did, every word coming from his lips towards her made her wince on the inside, now she had to wait for Dom to blow up too.
Brian couldn´t believe the situation. "Well, it is happening and Jack isn´t the only one who has to disappear but you too..." she shouted back at him, her desperation rising too.
She took a breath before she started talking again. "I didn´t mean to see him at first, he came to me, he started asking questions, you know that Brian" she delivered the words as she looked at him. "Yes, he threatened me because I wouldn´t give him information about my family and also because I kept pushing him to give me details about what his next assignment was,”
“I know how dangerous the situation is! But because of your brother´s stupidity my brother´s life is on the line too,” there was a lot of emotion going on at this point and she was now pissed too. Her chest hurt and she had to stop herself from saying anymore words, she still had lots to say, the words were there, instead she lean her back against one of the walls and look at the ceiling shaking her head as if she was going through everything that went down in the last few minutes. “I´m sorry,” she whispered not really knowing if it was for Brian or Dom.

"Why do I have to disappear?" Brian frowned because Mia didn't make any sense. What did Jack's stupidity have to do with him? "Are you trying to say he knows who I am...does he know about my babies?" Brian suddenly almost screamed. His eyes grew wide when he took her by both arms and made her look at him. "Did this guy mention me or my kids in any way?" His hands were already in his pockets to reach for his keys when a screeching noise in front of the house interrupted their conversation. Instinctively he duck down just to hear a car leave. "What's going on here? Keep your head down, Mia." He motioned for her to hide while he made his way to the front door and carefully opened it only to find...nobody out there. Just when he was about to turn around his eyes fell onto an envelope in front of the door. Brian grabbed it and closed the door before walking back to the siblings. His fingers were shaking when he slid his thumb in to tear it open. But what he pulled out really made his knees weak. It was a polaroid of his twins. Somebody had printed. "Back off." on it. h shit." He gasped while his knees literally buckled underneath him.

Suddenly she was being held with such force that she had to complain. "Brian you are hurting me," She looked at him a little afraid of what he might do next. "He didn´t mention them but he mentioned you. What are you doing? Where are you going?" as she looked how frantically he was searching for his keys.
The sound of screeching tires hurt her ears but she did as she was told. Mia then stood up and saw how Brian came back with an envelope in his hands. "Brian?" she got closer to see what he held in his hands, a beautiful picture of two babies wrapped in a blue and pink blanket. Sam wouldn´t... No... Sam might be a killer but to mess around with... "Son of a bitch," The anger inside of her multiplying…

There was nothing in the world that was more important to Brian than bringing his kids to safety right now, no Mias, no Dom, asnd most of all no Jack. Frantically he fumbled out his keys. "I'm going to go and get them." He then turned to Dom: "You'd better figure out a game plan because this is getting ugly." Then he turned back to Mia and let her know what he thought about pissing the killer off. "Do you have any idea who this guy is? Stay away from him, Mia." Judging by the look in her eyes she was fuming and if one of the Torettos was upset they did stupid things so Brian quickly went back to her and pulled her into a hug because it said more than any words. "Stay safe. You can't get hurt. Please." Then he turned on his heel and was gone before anybody could object. If anything he'd go after the bastard himself even if it was just a momentary relief because he'd soon be replaced....ot maybe not?

In less than a second he was out the door not before letting her know to stay safe. She didn´t have a chance to reply, was she going to get hurt? She didn´t know about that..what she did know was that Sam went too far. If there was one thing she hated was to mess around with someone else´s kids and Sam knew just where to hit for her to feel the pain: Brian.
This wasn´t about not liking Mira or Mira feeling the same way about Mia, this was about Brian´s children. She was stuck with Dom, he wasn´t going to let her go, god knows what she might do to Sam if she went looking for him. But if something happened to those twins... Sam was going to pay... and he was gonig to pay with his mother´s life. THAT was something she was sure about.
