Mira sat a lone table in the corner of a small cafe. She was sitting there waiting for Brian's brother, Jack, to arrive. She had called him a day ago telling him that Brian need him.

She drank her soda and watched out the windows for him. She didn't know what he was like. Brian hardly had ever talked about him so she really didn't know what to expect. Hopefully he would be willing to help.

Setting her hand on her stomach her mind wandered to the baby growing inside. Would they be able to get things straightened out in time? Would Brian ever get to meet his child? It seemed all this questions now depended on Jack's willingness to help.

Jack parked his Evo in front of the small diner he'd been told he could find her, and shut off the engine. Some woman named Mira had called him, telling him Brian was in some truly deep shit and needed help, but she hadn't wanted to elaborate on it over the phone. For five years he hadn't seen nor even talked to his brother, but family was still family...

He shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked inside. The diner was pretty much deserted, aside from a family sitting on his left side, and a young blonde woman sitting by herself.

"I take it you're Mira?" He asked while he casually took the seat across from the young blonde. Was he curious to find out what kind of mess Brian had gotten himself in to that required his help? Hell yeah, but his face didn't show it as he waved the waitress off before she could ask if he wanted anything.

Feel free to kick that pic out ...today I'm all about photos

Mira smiled. "Yes I am. You must be Jack. Nice to meet you." She could see the family resemblance in the two. "I'm sorry to call you here but Brian asked me to. He is in some deep shit." She took a drink of her soda.
"To get strait to the point he is being framed for theft, murder, and possession of a illegal subsistence. So know he is in the hospital where he being treated for a gun shot wound..." She felt a knot forming in her throat. "And waiting transfer to prison." She tried to blink the tears away but one slide down her cheek. "He wants your help."

Jack furrowed his brow while he leaned back in his seat, draping one arm over the backrest as he listened to Mira list all the accusations against his older brother. For a short moment, he wasn't sure if he should start laughing, and all he could wonder was if this was some kind of a joke. Since when was Brian the black sheep of the family? Hell, even he had never gotten himself this far into trouble.

However, when he saw the single tear slide down Mira's cheek, he wisely decided against it and cleared his throat instead, raising an eyebrow as Mira then said Brian wanted his help. "And what does he expect me to do? Wave a magic wand around, sprinkle some fairy dust and hope that'll get him off the hook?" He snorted, finding the thought alone amusing enough.

"I'm sorry, Mira. But if you hadn't noticed yet, I'm not exactly someone with leverage anywhere. So unless you have a better plan..." He shrugged as he watched the woman across from him. He couldn't think of a way he could possibly help Brian, unless it involved kicking his brother's sorry ass for getting himself in such a mess in the first place.

Mira set her hand on her stomach, since she found out she was pregnant that had become a habit. "I'm just the messenger, I have no idea what he is thinking but..." She lowered her voice. "It's probably not gonna be the most legal thing.... The most I can tell you right now is Brian is innocent. And the b*sturd who caused this mess is running around free with a hand full of eight million dollars worth of stolen cars." Just thinking of Walter running around free while Brian laid cuffed to a hospital bed was made Mira's blood boil.
"If you're willing to help we only have a few days before he is transferred to a jail cell. Then everything becomes impossible.... He is running out of time." Another tear slid down her cheek. If Jack didn't agree to help she had no idea how they were gonna get Brian out. And if he never got out he would never be able to see their baby or be there for he or she as they grew up. She couldn't let that happen, Jack just had to help.
