Third Person's POV

The sun had risen and Letty and also apparently Mia was at the police station. They had been asking the two women questions about Dom all night. They refused to answer the questions. They simply sat in their rooms silently with their arms folded over their chest. Michael Stasiak spoke, but Mia tuned him out. He pointed off into the distance. The man had received a call saying he was needed elsewhere so he left the room, leaving Mia with the other agent in the room. She looked down at her feet. There was a buzzing sound, which meant that someone was coming into the room. Mia looked up out of curiosity. Her breath caught in her throat the sight. There stood both Brian and Britney.

"Hey, Tyler, we got a transfer." Britney says to the man standing near Mia, she said that with a straight face. The man nodded his head as Brian walks over to Mia. She looked at him, swallowing hard.

"You want to come with us?" Brian asks quietly as Mia felt her blood pressure rise. Mia stood up and Brian and Britney both led the way. Britney was typing something on her tablet as they were walking to a small coffee shop about a block away from the police station.

Brian ordered a coffee, Britney got a Dr. Pepper, and Mia got a water. They had been sitting here in silence since they arrived which was a good thing for Britney as she was doing her own thing as she sat squished next to her Dad. No matter how much he tried to move there wasn't enough room for the two of them.

Mia had taken the time to notice how much Brian and Britney had changed. Brian's curls were gone, he didn't have that 'surfer boy' look anymore. He was dressed in a suit and a tie - something she had never seen him in prior to Desi's funeral. The hint of stubble on his face suited him well. He looked so handsome. She hated herself for admitting that.

Britney she already knew that she had changed but since the last time that Mia had seen the girl before the funeral, Britney's hair was shorter, and almost a brunette as she had a blonde/brunette hair. Her hair goes past her shoulders. Mia saw that Britney was wearing a burgundy suit suited for women. She looked completely different, as it scared her a whole lot about it. Definitely Britney is obviously older than five years ago. She also saw that on Britney's suit was Madden. Not O'Conner like her father.

"We've been here for ten minutes now. Are you gonna tell me why you dragged me here?" Mia spoke, breaking the silence as Britney just rolled her blue eyes hearing what she said. Brian leaned back in his seat.

"You know they're gonna capture Dom, maybe even worse. I don't want you gettin' tangled up in this, so stay away from him, Mia for everyone's sake...for mine. I really don't want to arrest you if you don't listen." Britney says without looking up from her tablet, as Mia scrunched her eyebrows at hearing the words that Britney just said to her.

"That's what you have to say to me after all this time? You're going to sit there and tell me to stay away from my brother, Britney?" Mia asked she was frustrated at this, also questioning Brian's parenting choices by having his child in the fucking FBI. "What makes you care about what happens to me all the sudden? Why now? What changed?" A hurt expression washes over Brian's face as for once Britney looks up from her tablet.

He turned his head to look out the window as Britney grabbed his hand and squeezed it and he returned it to her, then they both turned their attention back to Mia. Her words stung, but they knew they deserved it. He look a deep breath.

"What Dad did to you was wrong, because believe me. I've seen the shit he's done. We're sorry. It was the hardest thing for Dad to do, if it wasn't for me, he probably wouldn't be sacrificing his fucking life. So I don't want to hear your shit, Mia." Britney says as she was now fumed at hearing this entire conversation. She still had her emotionless expression on her face, that sorta scared Mia but she wasn't going to be saying anything.
