8 years ago at the Toretto home, before the last hijacking...
Leon liffted his head from his car, his gaze turning to the sounds of happy laughter comeing from the back yard. The smell of spicy chicken hitting his senses, the sun was shinning, the food was going to taste good and they were all there, the whole family, it was just another typical Sunday evening at the Torreto house.

Brian sat in his car, which he had just parked in front of Dom's house. Through the opened window he could hear familiar voices and smell something that smelled an aweful lot like a BBQ.
He looked in the mirror at his own reflection. For a moment he stared at himself torn between going in there and pretending he was one of them or just driving away. He had a job to do though. Plus there was Mia who seemed to draw him in like a magnet.
Brian took a deep breath and got out of the car. With fast steps he crossed the front lawn and went around to the back. He was dressed in his usual outfit: Jeans, a t-shirt with a racing logo and blond surfer hair. No uniform. On the corner he spotted Leon working on his car. "What's up, bro?" He asked casually.

Leon continued playing with the inner workings of his car, trying to decipher where the problem was comeing from. He heard the all to familar pur of a car pullig up but continued to ignore it, he wanted his baby fixed before tucking into the dinner.
Leon stretched smoothing his greesy hands onto his faded jeans, if it wasnt surfer dude, he mused smirking as he eyed him. "S'up Dawg" he nodded his head leaning agasint his car.
"Things been giving me some crap"He said nodding down at his Nissan Skyline "Couple of wires loose," He sighed droppig his bonnet closed.
"You hear for the grub, or Mia"he questioned eyes sparklng

Brian walked over to him shooting a glance into the gutts of Leons car. Not that he had much of an idea about it. brian was happy he knew how to put his foot down on the gas real hard.
In answer to his question Brian looked around to see where Mia was and then flashed him a smile. "A bit of both...if Vince doesn't get in my way."

Leon nodded his head "Well your lucky, Vince aint here....yet"He said smirking as he pushed his keys into his back pocket.
"No one gets close to her, your lucky, hurt her, you deal with all of us"His voice held just enough menece for Brian to understand just how much Mia was loved and cared for.

Brian had no intentions of hurting Mia. However he wasn't quite sure yet how that would work out with his assignment. He just didn't want to think that far ahead plus who knew whether she even liked him enough. Getting into trouble with the whole gang didn't seem very enticing though. Brian gave the other man a shrug. "No worries. I'm not going to." He slapped him on the shoulder and turned to see who was in the backyard.

Leon nodded his head, he liked the guy he really did, he hadnt seen Mia smile in a long time, not ever since they had started jacking the trucks, hell before that when he died had died. He felt Brian clap him on the back and smirked.
"Either way its going to be fun watching Ol'e Coyote looking sour every time your round man" He laughed at the thought, the first time they had gotten into a right brawl and he had only brought a Sandwhich.
"Come on plent of grub for all"

"Yeah, I don't know what the heck Vince's problem is." He thought for a moment. Of course he knew. The guy had a thing for Mia and couldn't stand Brian.
He pointed across his shoulder. "You're coming? Smells good."

Leon laughed Vince had loved Mia as long as he could remember, it was kinda sad really, every one knew Mia didnt feel that way about him, Leon thought Vince did to and was just enjoyed the temptation.
"Yea man, you should try the chicken, its amazing"

Brian nodded and then walked around the corner to see who was there. Even from the front of the house he could hear Letty's loud, cheerful voice. The girl seemed to be in a good mood today. It seemed like she had a tough girl attitude but when she was among her friends only she eased up a bit. Then there was Mia, of course. He long dark hair dangling over her tank top reflected the sunlight. Brian forced himself not to stare at her but looked at her brother instead. The leader of the pack. "What's up, guys? I thought since you own me now you might as well feed me." he joked in reference to Letty's remark a couple of days earlier.

Leon chuckled clapping him on the back, he watched as he glanced over at Mia, boy was he trying not to be obvious.
"Welcome to the mad house Dawg"He chuckled walking past him and towards the table, scooping the basket ball out from under Letty, bouncing it on the floor in front of him a couple of times before throwing it through the hoop.

Mia couldn’t help the smile that lit her features up like a Christmas tree. The second she heard Brian’s voice, it had her stomach rolling—but in a good way. The butterflies in her gut seemed to wake up and flutter about every time he was around. She liked him, a lot. She only hoped that Vince and her brother wouldn’t get in the way… “Brian,” She walked up to him, biting her lower lip. “Glad you could make it. We’re just about ready to eat.”

Brian wasn't sure whether he could talk Mia into going out with one of her brothers 'friends' aka him. But he sure noticed how she got up and gave him a pretty flirtatious smile. He flashed her one of his best smiles-a genuine one. He couldn't help it. She was simply gorgeous inside and out as far as he could tell. "Hi, Mia. I'm glad,too. It smells great by the way. Did you make it?" He followed her to a table and set down a sixpack of Millers he had brought.

Her heart jumped when Brian smiled back at her. Blushing softly, she nodded her head when he asked about the food. "I made everything-- Well, almost everything." She rolled her eyes, glancing over at Dom who was at the grill still. "He won't let me anywhere near HIS grill. He's a true master of the art." She gave Brian a quick wink, hoping he noticed her sarcasm when it came to calling the grill an 'art'. Standing up straight, she had an air of confidence about her. It was something she always tried to have around Brian-- Otherwise he'd end up sucking her in. She walked with him over to the table, noticing the pack of Miller beer he brought. She winced at the sight of it, placing a hand on his forearm. "You do know that Dom only drink Corona, right?"

She cooked everything. Brian smiled inwardly. A woman who can cook. What more can you want? Brian figured Mia was in her early twenties but she seemed to be doing everything around the house. She was like the mother of the pack even though she was so young. When she talked about Dom's art his gaze followed her to the bulky guy at the grill. He wore a wifebeater which showed off his impressive muscles and wiped some sweat from his shaved head with the back of his hand. The young cop was pretty happy that it wasn't Dom he had to battle with to get closer to Mia. Vince seemed a little less intimidating than her brother. From his record he knew that Toretto had beaten a man half to death and Brian didn't want to be the next one. Brian sighed slightly and turned around to set the beer down on the picknick table when she mentioned Corona. "Shit." he muttered. "I did know that. Does anybody else drink Miller?"

Mia grinned at him cheekily, plucking a beer from the pack before she popped the cap off on the side of the table. Taking a long pull, she smiled at him brightly after swallowing. "I do..." She commented, brown eyes brimming with mirth. "But I still prefer Corona. Anything cold is fine with me-- especially during the summer." She took a seat then, waiting for Brian to take the one next to her expectantly. It was almost time to eat, and she wanted him to sit where she could talk to him without having to yell over everyone else. Her family was a routy bunch-- she couldn't ever deny that.

Brian admired how she gulped the beer down. Just like one of the guys. That was so damn sexy. He grinned and licked his lip before opening a beer for himself and taking a long sip. He noticed how she had scooted over making room for him and gladly took the spot next to her. He sat pretty close invading her private space. It didn't feel uncomfortable though. There definetly was an attraction between the two of them. "So what do you do when you don't cook or sell tuna sandwiches? what do you do for fun?"

She set her beer down, drumming her fingers on the table as Brian took the seat next to her. Eyes gleaming, she smiled at his inquisitive stare and the questions he tossed at her one after the other. "Well, when I'm not here or working at the Cafe, I'm at school." She said, glancing over at her brother while trying to guage how long she would have to talk to the blonde man next to her. "I'm trying to get my medical degree. It's always been a bit of a dream of mine to save lives all doctor like." She laughed softly under her breath at the statement. The real reason was her mother-- Her mom had been a nurse, and had died of heart failure. She wanted to grow up and be like the mother she could barely remember-- she also wanted to be that doctor who saved a little girl's mother from an early death. Looking back up to Brian, she tilted her head and grinned playfully. "Now, fun... That's a whole different subject that we won't even BEGIN to be able to touch on right now. What about you? What do you like to do?"

Thank goodness she didn't ask about his job. Brian would hate to lie to her right now. He hated having to do it anyway. Mia and her whole family seemed so nice that he just wanted to be friends with them not investigate them. He was also sure they had nothing to do with the hijackings anyway. Brian scratched his head and thought about it. With a broad smirk he said. "I like racing cars." He laughed slightly because he remembered a couple of weeks ago when he first raced Dom. It was a bit of a sorry display even thought it had truely sparked his love for speed. "And I like the outdoors. Hiking, swimming, camping, surfing."

Leon watched the ball bounce harmlessly on the floor before using his foot to stop it rolling any where else, he glanced down at his watch, Vince was late for the party, nothing new there, he had been of since before the race. He smirking walking over to where Dom was at the grill clapping him on the back and then walked over towards the table
"Foods nearly done"He stated smiling softly realizing he had obvioulsy interupted something as he sat down at the top of the table
