Loving the Buster//Brian O'Conner

twenty two

I sit on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands. I hear the door open, but I don't look up.

"You alright?" Brian asks.

"Just thinking about what we're planning on doing tomorrow," I tell him.

Brian laughs as he sits beside me. "I know it's crazy."

"It's stupid," I tell him. "It's so stupid."

"Yeah, but if we pull it off, we're free," Brian tells me. "We can stop with all of this. The running."

I nod my head. "I know. But do you ever get scared?"

"No," Brian tells me. "Then again I was trained for this."

I make a face. "You were trained to be a cop. Then an FBI agent."

Brian smiles as he shakes his head. "Yeah, so I know how to fight and how to use a gun." He wraps his arm around me, and I put my head on his shoulder. "You know I'd never let anything happen to you."

"I know," I confess.

"You should get some sleep," Brian tells me. "I'll be right here."

Today is the day we break into a vault in a police station and use cop cars to get away. Hands down the stupidest thing we've ever attempted. We pull this off and we're all about to be a whole lot richer. Han, and Rome are dressed as cops there, and they're gonna be the ones driving two of the stolen cop cars. Tego and Rico are going to be in the van with Gisele.

"I'm all set," Rome states.

"Yo, Santos. Van good?" Han asks.

"You know we're always good, bro," Rico tells him.

"Hobbs is on the other side of the city," Mia tells us. "We're not gonna get a better window."

"Okay, guys, it's showtime!" Dom tells us. "First team in position, let's go."

"Come on, let's do this," Tego shouts.

Tego, Rico, Han, Rome, Tej, and Gisele take off. Leaving Vince, Mia, Brian, Dom, Jason and I in the warehouse.

"Hey, Dom. I got eyes on Mia," Vince tells him.

I smile as I wrap my arms around Brian's waist. "We're one hour away from the rest of our lives."

Brian smiles as he leans down to kiss me.

"Cops!" Vince shouts.

I see a silver SUV pull in. Hobbs in an armored SUV drives into Dom's charger.

Brian turns to me. "Go."

I nod my head before I take off running. I don't get very far before one of the agents catches me. They bring Jason, Mia, Brian, Vince, and I back to where their car is.

Suddenly Dom and Hobbs come flying through a window. The agents surround them.

"Dom!" I shout.

"Stand back. I got this," Hobbs says.

Hobbs and Dom continue to fight on the ground.

"Pull off!" Vince shouts.

"Dom! Please, stop!" Mia begs.

Hobbs and Dom don't listen to any of us as they keep hitting each other.

"Dom!" I shout.

Dom grabs a wrench that Hobbs dropped and holds it above his head.

"Dom!" Mia shouts. "Don't!"

Dom brings the wrench down beside Hobbs's head. He stands up and looks at us. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing he was able to control his anger. Dom puts his hands up as the agents cock their guns.
