For the time being, Jack stayed mostly quiet to keep himself out of the conversation for as long as he could. The throbbing pain in his injured hand was making him irritable; he was still waiting for the painkillers to at least take the edge off a bit, but so far, he'd been out of luck. All he could do against the pain was make sure he didn't move his hand too much and grind his teeth. His old man had taught him long ago that pain was subjective, that it only beat you if you let if and whining about getting injured didn't do anything to help repair the damage. Yeah, easy for him to say. He never had two of his fingers cut off!His eyes snapped up to Cole when the kid (how old was he anyway? 10? 11?) apparently seemed to address him, and it was all Jack could do not to snap at him. "This was never supposed to turn into a 'we'," he growled. And in any case, giving back the shipment with an 'I'm sorry for the inconvenience' note attached to it wouldn't have solved it any better. Granted, Brian's kids might not have been pulled into it, but Jack was fairly certain he would have ended up 6 feet underground regardless. That was just how the mob worked; you fucked with them, and they would do anything to get you dead. "I'm going outside for a smoke." His chair scraped loudly over the floor as he stood up abruptly and headed outside. All those accusing eyes on him were suffocating; he could use some fresh air if anything else. (OOC: Sorry for the late reply. Didn't see Jack was being addressed until now )

Jack wasn´t happy as he looked at Cole, he was right this whole problem should´ve never become a “we” kind of thing. Unfortunately, he screwed up big time, and every person in the room suffer the consequences of his actions, Cole had all this pressure from Stephano, Brian´s kids were still nowhere to be found, Dom had to make sure he “killed” Jack and Mia hoping Sam didn´t open his mouth.
So far Stephano didn´t have any idea of what was going on inside the Toretto´s house. So, when Jack opened his mouth she glared at him, ready to lash out wanting nothing more than to shut him up. Instead, he stood up and walked outside for a smoke.

As harsh as it may sound seeing Jack in some pain and hopefully some mental troubles because of what he caused gave Brian satisfaction. He watched him grab his smokes and walk outside.
Mia's looks told him how compassionate she felt for Brian and the mess his kids were in, so he simply touched her arm and shook his head. "Leave him. I think he understands...at least a little." He finsihed his coffee and then walked outside to talk to Jack.
In the garden his brother was nervously sucking on a cigarette. Why on earth Brian was fairly calm right now he didn't know. He placed his palm against the bark of the tree Jack was leaning on and asked. "Today's the day, right? I'm coming with you. Whether you like it or not. I'm pretty sure you could use a 'hand'." Brian couldn't help the play on words. On top of that he needed ti make sure Jack didn't pull any tricks, that could endanger their kids.
A few moments later both brothers went back inside and let the others know. "I'm driving to Mexico with Jack. I'll call you when we have the stuff." He took a deep breath. "If we're not back by tonight call Hobbs on Ward. He needs to get my kids back if we can't deliver." He shot Jack a meaningful glance and then went to go and shake Dom and Cole's hand. "Appreciate everything you're doing."
Then he embraced Mia in a long hug. He simply didn't want to let her go but for now he had to. With a quick kiss to her cheek he said goodbye. "See you soon, Mia."

She looked at Brian as he touched her arm and let her know Jack understood. Did he? Because at the moment he didn´t look like he understood, it looked like he didn´t give a damn. "Fine," she quickly said as Brian folowed Jack, a moment later he came in with Jack to share his plans to the rest of them. "Be careful," she whispered to the ex cop as she broke the hug.

Brian gave her a quick smile and replied with a voice filled with sarcasm. "You know me."
Both brothers grabbed the guns and ammo they'd need, a telephone and then they were off through the front door. Not before Brian told Dom and Cole. "Make sure you get that bastard. Here's agent Hobbs number. He's on our side." He handed it to Cole and then let the door fall shut behind him.
Today would determine their future.

Cole bit his tongue when he watched Jack walk out the door. He was already under a lot of guilt most likely, he didn't need to say that, regardless of how true it was.
Cole took the number and looked it over. He already made up his mind that shipment or no shipment, he was going to get Hobbs on these guys and end this mob. He'd seen too much, too much stealing, too much hatred, and too much death. Dieseli and everyone around him deserved hard time, and the streets of California will be safer when they're gone. Not to mention, he lost a couple races recently, and that wasn't a pleasant talk with Stephano, he wasn't sure he could take the stress of this anymore, and this was his opportunity out of it. "We'll take care of it, one way or another." He said with a reassuring grin and watched the brothers walk out of the place. "Good luck."

Dom remained mostly static through the conversation until Brian addressed them for the final time. Going off to Mexico was a dice roll, but they needed a few dice rolls to go their way at this point. "Stay smart, O'Conner." Dom nodded. "Take care."
Once they were out the door. He took a look at Mia and Cole. Cole looked like he was thinking hard about something, and Mia looked, well, like she had for the last few days, concerned. "We need to take uncle Dieseli down." He stated after a moment of silence in the room, catching his sister's eyes. "That's the only way everyone is going to get out of this alive."

It was easy to say it than to be done... to "take down" Stephano meant "to kill him" there was no point to throw him in jail, as long as he was alive, he still had power they all knew that... she hesitated for a moment...could she actually do that? Why was she even hesitating in the first place? She nodded to her brother´s comment still unsure of her own answer.
