Jayden was loading Dom's shotgun in the driveway when Brian pulled up.

"Jay put the gun down now!" He demanded using his car door as a protective shield.

"Move my car, pretty boy."

"I can't do that. No more running, Jay."

She slammed her Nissan Silva's door and screamed, "I'm not running!"

She saw him close his door and walk towards her, "Where's Leon and Letty."

"They're long gone!"

"Then it's over. I didn't call the police but don't push me!"

"Oh, don't threaten me with a good time, Brian."

"Put the gun down, baby."

"You are the cop!" She screamed at him as he got closer, "You're the cop, Brian!"

"Brian, I gotta find Jesse before they do! I'm all the kid's got." Her voice got quiet, "He's all I got."

"I'll call in the plates. PD will pick him up way before Johnny even gets near him."

She cocked the shotgun when she heard Mia yell.

"Jay, stop it! It's over! Please!"

"Mia, go back in the house."

Just then the Jetta pulled up in front of the house.

"Jayden, I am so sorry!"

She put the shotgun down on her hood and ran to him.

"I don't know what I'm doing, Jayden!"

She pulled him into a bear hug.

"I'm so scared right now."

"I know, Jess. I know. It's gonna be okay."

She pulled away from the hug to get a good look at Jesse and smiled at him, "I'm glad you're okay, Jess."

The sound of bike engines was heard making everyone's head whip around, before they could even process what was going on, Jesse was being shot at.

Jayden tried to throw herself in front of Jesse, but she was too late.

"Jesse!" She cried out holding him to her chest.
