Dom had the body up on the lift in the underground garage Joker had rigged. Brian and the man had made sure he had everything he would need to rebuild the beautiful black car. It wasn't rebuilding so much as working on Frankinstien's creature. The damage was extense but after ordering new panel pieces it was starting to regain it's form. He stopped and grabbed the corona from on top of the mini fridge before offering another to Brian as he made his way down the car elevator. "O'conner, how can I help you?" His voice boomed in the quiet semi lit darkness. He had left a majority of the lights off except those that were directly above his work area.

Dom was at home, his large shoulders not as tense as usually. It was most likely due to the fact that he was putting his dads car back together.
"Shaping up..." Brian commented and took the beer from Dom. Without hesitation he opped the cap off and took a long drink.
Scratching his eyebrow he said. "Do you have a moment, bro?"

"Yeah." He let the trench out of his hand slowly and pulled over the large crate his engine had been shipped in and sat on it then slid the tranny's box to Brian. "Been meaning to pull you aside." He took another drink from the corona.

Brian flopped down on a chair and put his feet up on a box. "Yeah, why?"
He wondered. He had a feeling it was about the project but he wasn't sure and he was a little worried that Mia had told her brother about his latest fuck up and he was in for a verbal or even physical spanking.
A little worried he shifted in his seat. His shoulder still hurt like hell but he had decided to leave the sling in the car. Before Dom could voice his concerns Brian decided to speak first.
"We should talk about the 'project'." Brian wasn't quite sure how to start.
"Joker is prepping like crazy. He built a replica of the FBI building including elevator on our lot."

"I saw that on the way in. I want to know if you trust him, he was with the government and can always go back. I feel like a shark getting bated right now Brian." He looked up as if he could see through the cement and I beams that kept the garage up. "You still pulled jobs for the Feds after we we our ways, where does that put this guy?" He was concerned Brian was messing up a lot lately and it was wearing on Mia. He could tell she wasn't enthused by this plan but it was a way out, a way to keep his family closer then a phone call. His mistake was getting greedy and robbing that last truck. They had cash and did what they knew best. But now...now they didn't have Jesse they didn't have Vince. Thu couldn't keep the game up.

Doms words caused Brian to be concerned about Joker. This was the first time he questioned his loyality.
Brian stared ahead for a while trying piece the Walter puzzle together.
"I don't know." He bit his nail. "He could be working for the government...but I don't think he is. They think he's dead. They tried to kill him after he rescued me. Dom, I'd be dead if Joker hadn't gotten me out. I trust him."

"Yeah and Brian, I could have been in hand cuffs if you hadn't been trying to get into my house." He retorted in a knee jerk fashion relating back to when Brian had been working for the feds. "I'm getting the same feeling about him that Vince had about you. Just keep an eye on him Brian, he may not be on the law enforcement side but if they had him before they have ways of getting him back." Dom looked up at his car and took a swig, "What did you want to talk about?" He looked back to Brian and set down the empty beer bottle.

Brian listened to Dom but shook his head. "I know you can read people pretty well but so do I and I've been in some hairy situations with him. He's okay but I'll keep my eyes open." truth was Brian was a little alert because of the shitload of money he had just given him.

The next question wasn't as easy. It made him feel like drawing his head back into his shell instead of saying what had to be said.
"Hm. Mia asked me to only do this 'job' if it was one hundred percent sure that nothing could go wrong."
He paused.
"Obviously there's no such thing...so now what do I do? We're trying to make this as air tight as possible but you know the risks, bro."

"If Joker know's his stuff then we will be out of the line of fire and gone before they know what hit 'em. He showed me what needs to be done and the streets to go by to get out of there without being seen. We need to stow the cars and hide out for thirty or so minutes while the air crews go by then walk back to the fort. Take different streets, busses, trains, whatever it takes to not be seen from over head. He has the timing on the street lights planned out and we have fifteen minutes to get to the place for the cars. He's locking that part down right now for us." Dom was actually impressed with how well Joker had it planned out, he had spent the last week timing lights and setting up bus and shuttle passes for everyone. "I think we are in the clear if he is reliable as you say."

Of course that was true but there were always things that couldn't be anticipated.
"Joker's willing to take on the riskiest parts but Faye is still going to be inside."
Brian chewed his lip and rolled his neck.
Then he looked Dom straight in the eye.
"Mia's pregnant again." He dropped the bomb.

Dom took a deep breath taken back slightly with the news, slowly he ran a hand over his shaved head. "Brian, you got to ask yourself if you want to do this. It isn't going to be my call. I don't have much left to lose. We got drivers not all o them have your skills but of you duck out we can cover." He didn't want to add his doubts into this, Brian and Mia had another kid on the way and truth be told they did need Brian to pull this off.
