The ride home was dead silence. It had been a hard day and it was going to continue that way, for how long? She didn’t know. Every place she went there was a reminder of Brian. Finally, the car stop and she forced herself to look up. They were home. She stayed inside the car as the rain pour outside and prepare herself to open that door and enter her own home.
Dominic followed her close. She was holding her breath until she stepped in the small house full of memories. The kitchen, the counter, the newspaper… she walked silently to the glass doors that led to the patio and noticed the hammock and the fixed roof. Tears filled her eyes and before she could break down she told Dom she had to change, her clothes soaking wet due to the rain.
Walking to her room was another challenge. Some of his clothes lay on the bed, the whole room smelled like him. She slowly changed into a pair of jeans and a sweater making her way downstairs and taking a seat pulling her knees up to her chest, wiping a tear. “I still don´t get it, Dom” taking a deep breath.
“Who would be capable of doing this? Stephano is dead… I just-“she ran her hand through her long and damp hair. Mia looked at her brother looking for an answer.

Dom had no words, but his mind was cluttered to the point of a migraine. He didn't have the ability to say anything right. It pained him to see his sister with a heart and soul shattered into a thousand pieces, but for this one time, there was nothing he could do to put those back together. There was however one common theme between the two of them. Avenge Brian, his death would not go unpunished. They say he was murdered and left for discovery, almost as if someone wanted them to find out. Only one real possibility existed in Dom's mind. Except they were supposed to behind bars.
He stood motionless in the kitchen with his arms folded, subconsciously watching the rain roll off the kitchen window. "Whoever did this, wanted to send a message." Dom finally spoke as he uncrossed his arms and pulled out a chair for himself. "Only the mafia would have the tenacity for something like this."
But why Brian?
That was the one question Dom still had no answer for.

She nodded at his words. What if he was right? What if Stephano was not dead? “Stephano is long gone…” Was he? She then thought of Noah and Sam, even though both men did illegal stuff, to do something that bad to send a message it wasn´t like them. She never heard from Sam and Noah (Dom´s high school friend) was out of the picture.
Mia stood up and walked to the fridge taking out a Corona and drinking the cold beer in big gulps as she joined Dom once again. There was no way in hell she´d be able to sleep and if the only way for that to happen was with the help of alcohol, then so be it. “We need a plan, we´ll have to contact the others and plan every single move…” her head hurt so badly from crying.
Thunders shook the house as the rain kept pouring down harder. Silence filled the kitchen again, both sibling lost in their own thoughts. She drank the last amount of beer trying desperately to take her mind off him but it was impossible.

Through the rain Mira Hobbs drove aimlessly. Her mismatched eyes were long dry after her father had informed her of Brian's fate, though the rest of her body was soaked to the bone. When he father broke the news to her, Mira took off on her mtorcycle trying to out run the feelings of nothing but raw anger and sadness. Sure she and Brian did not part on the best of notes but that did not mean she loved him any less. Her driving had eventually lead her to the one place that held all of the anwsers to the hundred questions in her head. The Toretto's house. Unfortunatly for her they were probably not going to be very welcoming. A sigh slipped from her lips as she stopped the bike in front of the home and got off. The walk to the door seemed alot longer then it truely was. Once she was on the steps she raised a hand and rung the doorbell.

The doorbell made Mia stand up giving a quick look at Dom trying to figure out who could be just outside. She opened the door and was surprised to see Mira standing there soaking wet sharing the same sadness she too was feeling. His children came to mind watching their mother standing in front of her, it was impossible for her the tears not to burn her eyes.
Did Mira know at some point Brian was back with her? The last thing she needed was to start a fight, it wasn´t the time. Did Mira know how much Brian loved her? How hurt he felt when she became a completely different person towards him? How many times had she (Mia) heard Brian talk about Mira? About how much he loved her but then his feelings towards Mira were changing too, because in reality the person he truly love was the youngest member of the Toretto family.
"Mira...come in," openning the door wider for her to enter. If she was here looking for answers about Brian´s death then she did not have them. Mia was still trying to figure out who was behind this.

Mira's mismatched eyes meet Mia's snd the blonde could feel the tears returning. Despite how different they were, right now the only person who could understand her was the woman right infront of her. She tired to speak but her throat tightened making it painful. "Mia...please tell me this is some sort of trick." She accepted the woman's offer to step in on shakey legs, weither it was from the cold or greif she did not know. It was easy to see Mira wasn't there for anything but information and to be around those who understood how she was feeling.

"Even if Dieseli is gone, gangsters never completely go away." Dom mused before their seriously outdated doorbell made its effort.
Dom was very skeptical who might be at the door and was ready to take a minute to examine who it was first, but Mia just simply opened it...Luckily it wasn't anyone out for their heads...well, maybe Mia's. "Afraid it's reality." Dom said in his sister's place as Mira made her way through the door. The younger blonde looked every bit as rattled as Mia. And there was no blaming her, Dom didn't know her well enough to make any assumptions about her, but he was pretty sure that she, as anyone would, felt the weight of the world both emotionally and even physically with two kids that were now fatherless. "I'm sorry Mira..."

Mira hand come up and covered her mouth as tears started to fall once more at the confermation that the father of her children was gone. The feeling of the word crashing down on her was unbelievable and impossiable to describe. Taking a shakey breath the blonde spoke again. "H-How?" She leaned back against the wooden to keep herself somewhat standing. Water dripped down the strands of white blonde hair mixing with tears on her face. "And better yet who did it?"

While Dom confirmed to Mira one of her worst fears, Mia took the time to get a towel handing it to Mira so she could dry at least her hair. Mia´s eyes matched Mira´s. It hurt to see Mira there, it hurt to know reality was slowly sinking in and that Brian would no longer see those twins grow. It hurt a lot more than Mira could ever imagine because secretly she too saw them grow and saw another side of Brian. A wonderful and beautiful side.
“I´m so sorry, Mira” her voice quivered as she delivered those words. It took her a moment to control her emotions that seem to take over Mia once again. “I wish I knew who was behind this,” images of his body lying on the metal table of the morgue ready to be ID. The gunshot, the blood, his blue eyes closed. She looked away as if that was going to help her erase the image of the person she loved out of her mind.
“We are still trying to figure out all of this,” she simply said. It sucked not having any other answers or words than that. Words that would never take their pain away…

Seeing both of the ladies in the room very upset threatened to bring back Dom's emotions from the funeral. Something he had been trying hard to hold off. "That's what we're going to find out." He promised. It was either going to be the end of the one responsible, or the end of him. That was a promise he made to himself as well.
Quietly though, he knew Brian would not want them to throw themselves on a suicidal path to "get even." He'd probably just sooner they ran, but running was no option. The hole left in all of their souls was to big to simply suppress without some form of justice.
OOC: I'm running out of things to say lol...wanna fast forward to later that night when Cole comes in after his run in with Stephano?

Mira graciously accepted the towel and tried to dry her hair and face off. The rain outside made it seem the world was crying for Brian, which made her chest ache. "I am sorry for just showing up, I did not know where else to go. I figured if anyone would understand what I was feeling it was you cause you are feeling the same way. Thank you for letting me in. I know I was never nice to you Mia. Infact I was a right jealous bitch. I am sorry about that too." She spoke directly to the younger Toretto finally getting a hold on herself enough to do so.
Something dark filled the blonde's eyes, that moment she was every bit her father's daughter. "We won't just figure out who did this we will make that mother f*cker pay." Her mismatched eyes looked at Dom. "I want to help you."

Despite the circumstances a slight smile appear on her lips for just a few second accepting Mira´s words. “Apology accepted,” She turned to Dom and then back to Mira.
“What about your kids, Mira?” she calmly questioned the blonde. She was more than welcome to join her and Dom but she wasn´t alone anymore. She had to look out for not only one but two little kids. The last thing she needed was for Mira to be killed and leave those babies.
They still didn´t know who was behind all of this and if things got ugly Mira wouldn’t be able to run and even if she did, she would never be safe. Mia didn’t want that. There was no doubt in her mind Mira knew how to defend herself, heck she was a cop at some point and worked next to Brian but it scared to know she might never come back to her kids if Dom decided to accept her.

Dom took his own seat at the kitchen table as Mira offered her graces to his sister. He was rather relived there wasn't a clash between the two and instead a civil act between them. Though it'd be difficult for anyone's emotions to get side tracked in a situation like this.
"You and your children have a place here, Mira. That's a forever standing offer." He added on to Mia's concerned question.

Mia turned to see his brother. A small smile appear on her lips and she nodded at his words. She'd never thought in a million years to see this day coming, to see Mira here, to even have a conversation with her, and for Dom to accept Mira, it was hard to believe for a second. "He's right. We have to stick together," Mia was glad Dom was around. In a way he helped with the pain and sadness she was going through.
She took a seat next to Dom and turned to look at Mira. "Feel free to go to my room and change," looking at how the water kept dripping from her clothes and pointing to the stairs. "Second room to your right," Mia place her hand at the nape of her neck trying to remove the stress that seem to build there."We need to find Cole and Jack," Mia rested her head on the table wishing she had a way to turn back time.

Arguably coming off one of the worst nights of his life in one of the worst weeks in his life, Cole didn't have much to smile about. Well, no one really did. The difference with him though is that he was no longer in a depressed mood, he was just straight up pissed off. This Dieseli guy literally barged into his life uninvited for the most part, and now had taken away one they loved, and destroyed any peace in their life they may have had. He wanted him gone, in more ways than one.
He drove rather enthusiastically to the Toretto house to educate who Brian's killer was. The stab wound still hurt like hell, it was something he should probably have a hospital address, but for now he just wrapped it tightly and tended to the important business.
He gave the courtesy of a brief knock before opening the door himself to find the Toretto siblings in the kitchen...as usual. "Stephano's responsible." He said harshly as he limped his way over to the table

The rain seem to stop, and the sky look no longer gray but even if the sun decided to come out and shine its light, it didn't matter. Happiness was no longer felt in that house or within her. A knock startle her and the door opened, what she saw left her speechless, rage ran through her veins with a mixture of shock, blood ran down Cole's his calf. For a moment she stayed there glued to the chair but as if coming to her senses she stood up and ran to his side to help him seat down on the sofa, preventing him to go to where they were.
Her face lost color and she had to sit on the floor feeling dizzy not really understandin- not wanting to understand what he reveal to them. "What?" She gasped. Her hands shook as she placed some pressure to his calf, she closed her eyes and forced some air to her lungs and slowly turned to Dom not knowing what to say. She wished she had Stephano in front of her so she could torture him with her own hands. "Tell us everything you know," her voice cold, the anger winning over her emotions.

"Thank you....both of you. Brian would have wanted you involved in the twins' lives and I intend to stick to that wish." Her mismatched eyes watched the siblings for a moment before she took Mia up on her offer of dry clothes. Following the brunette's instructions she made her way to the room where she pulled on a dry pair of pants and t shirt. I took her all of about ten minutes to change and find the dryer to throw her soaked clothes in.
"I hope its okay I tossed my clothes in your dryer...." She spoke as she walked back threw the door way only to stop dead in her tracks. Her mismatched eyes landed on a very familiar blue eyed blond and her heart stopped. The fact that he was still around surprised her the most, she would have thought he would have high tailed it out after Brian was killed, but then again she had been gone so long she felt like she did not know anyone any more. "What did you get yourself into this time kid?"

It probably shouldn't have come as a surprise to him that Mia almost immediately found it necessary to go into nurse mode upon discovery of his injury. Besides the pain, is was the last thing he was concerned about at the moment...nothing a few stiches shouldn't be able to take care of, he assumed.
"I'm fine I'm fi-AHHHHHHH!" Was his immediate reaction as Mia applied some less-than-comfortable pressure. As he started to gather his thoughts back up, he remembered the actual relationship the Toretto's had with Dieseli. This might've been one hell of a shock, he didn't really know how close they actually were.
"He's still alive and free, and he's pissed we tried to put him away." He said in one breath between winces. "Brian was his sick version of revenge."
It was only then he was presented with the shock of Mira's presence. It had been so long since he'd seen her he about assumed Brian sent her away somewhere safe with the kids...yet she was here at the Toretto house of all places. "Mira...??" Was all he managed.

She waited a little longer to remove the pressure, afraid he was going to keep bleeding. she hoped the wound was something she could take care of. She was pissed off, not with Cole but with herself, and her anger went up when she heard from Cole that Stephano was free. Her stomach made a flip, she was responsible for Brian´s death...
Mia did not say a word, feeling her eyes burning with tears. If she hadn´t meet with Stephano at the´Luna Azure´, if she only listen to Brian´s words when he warned her, but stubborn as she was, she did not care because she was mad at him at the time. She kept her face focused on his wound. If someone deserved to take the punishment should be her and not Brian...
"Hmm... I´ll bring some- uh- alcohol and some bandage materials, just keep the pressure for a little longer," she turned around and went to her room to get the alcohol. She was glad she was out of their site, finding all the things she needed and quickly wiped a tear making its way down her cheek with the back of her hand.
She took a few minutes to keep her emotions to herself before joining the others downstairs.

His news brought even more trauma to Mia than he would've imagined. He waited for her response but got none, instead she trotted off looking like she was about to have a tremor breakdown. "I'm sorry..." Cole muttered as she disappeared into the next room.
Admittedly, he was feeling a little lightheaded, even though he didn't think he was bleeding that much through the bandages. Well, at least it wasn't the worst injury he ever had. With little knowledge he had about managing wounds, he did his best to slow the bleeding all over the Toretto's floor.
Cole's eyes followed her as she reappeared with some hospital looking stuff. "...I don't know what the right thing to do is anymore." And it was the truth, do they run? Do they fight?
