Life Is Worth Living

Chap 13 "It's Over"

Brian's POV
"You two ready?" I asked Leena and Emma. We walked down to the second floor of the parking garage. "Our cars." I looked at my two girls. "We gotta do this."
"I know, I know," Leena nodded.
"We know it's about to go down," I sighed. "The next twenty four hours determines our life. Leena, I want you to promise me something." Leena looked at me. "Whichever one of us survives, we need to take Jack and Emma and move on. You understand?" Leena sighed. "You understand what I'm saying?"
"No, I can't do that, Brian," Leena nodded. "No, I can't. Emma wants to perform on The Voice and she wants to be just like her father and join the FBI Academy." I looked at Emma. "And she's going to need her father to help her through that. So, we're going to finish what we're doing and we're going to go home together. To Jack and support Emma."
"The best decision I ever made was stepping into the store and buying that first sandwich," I smiled.
She laughed. "It was such a bad sandwich," Leena nodded.
"I know, right?" I smiled. "But I ate a lot of them." Leena nodded and I looked at her. "I love you, Leena."
"No, no. Don't do that," Leena nodded. "It just sounds like you're saying goodbye. Say something else."
"See you when this is over," I nodded. Emma and Leena got into their cars and drove off. "I love you, Leena." I put on my bulletproof vests, and got my weapons ready. Ramsey met me. "Let's do this." We got into my car and started driving around. I grabbed my walkie talkie. "Alright guys, the game is starting." We drove in a line following a few feet behind each other, five cars. Dom was on his own. "Okay."
"Guys, they're here," Tej stated.
"Alright," I sighed.

Leena's POV
"How many cars?" I asked.
"Uh, none," Tej replied. "And that's kind of the problem."
"Shit," I sighed. I shifted gear. "Okay guys, let's break." I just started driving around waiting for my turn to get Ramsey. It was pretty quiet on the walkie talkie. "Emma?"
"Yeah?" Emma replied.
"Is it too quiet to you?" I asked.
"Yeah, and that's sort of the problem," Emma responded.
"They cut our communications," I sighed. "Damn it, Brian." I started driving around trying to find out where Brian is. "This city is too damn big!"
"Mom, I found a blue GTR explosion on s
Sixth and Hill," Emma replied.
"I know your father," I nodded. "He made it out alive." I kept driving looking for Brian. I found Tej and Rome. I picked them up and started driving. "Not cool for cutting me off."
"Brian couldn't risk you losing your life or Emma's," Tej nodded.
"Okay, look," Rome sighed. "First the tank, then a plane. Now we got a spaceship?!"
"That's not a spaceship," I nodded staring at it. "It's a drone!"
"Oh, it's a drone?!" Rome asked. "Now, you gonna break it down and be articulate like your already know what the hell is going on?"
"Shut up," I sighed as I made a quick u-turn and kept driving. The drone started shooting at us. "You better be glad this Evo is bulletproof." I pushed a button and a missile from my car took down the drone. "Bullseye." I drove around looking for Brian. Ignoring whatever conversation Tej and Rome were having. I saw Brian and a collapsed parking garage. I stopped my car and ran to Brian. I hugged him and he hugged me. "Don't you EVER scare me like that again!"
"I didn't want you getting hurt," Brian sighed.
"You fight, I fight. You ride, I ride," I looked at Brian. "You die, I die, Brian."
"Just like Letty and Dom," Brian smiled.
"You're my life, Brian," I smiled. Brian kissed me. Emma pulled up. She ran out and gave us a hug. "This is our family now." The next day approached us. Mando hand delivered Jack himself. "Thank you, Mando." We went to the beach. "Alright." Jack and I played near the water and Emma sat with Uncle Dom to rehearse her song. "Whoo hoo!" I smiled as Jack ran around. "Daddy! Come play."
"Yeah," Brian smiled.
"Look at him," I pointed at Brian as I bent down next to Jack. "Look at him."
Jack ran to Brian and Brian picked him up. "Yeah, buddy," Brian smiled.
"Hey, babe, come on," I smiled.
"Let's get Mama," Brian smiled. Jack and Brian ran over to me. Brian lifted Jack off the ground by his hands for a few seconds. "Yeah!" Brian picked up Jack and held me close. We shared a kiss. "This is were we both belong."
"Definitely," I smiled.
"Mom," Emma sighed as she ran up to us. "I decided to sing That's What You Wanted."
"Great choice," I smiled as I hugged Emma. "We should probably get you to your audition."
"Audition?" Brian asked.
"If any coaches on The Voice chooses her, then her FBI Academy dream is done," I smiled. "She decided to go into music, following her mom, but if that didn't work, she would've followed her dad's footsteps."
"That's my baby girl," Brian smiled as he hugged Emma. "I think our family is big enough."
"Dom had the house rebuilt and we'll start living there again," I smiled. "I'm not having anymore kids." We went to The Voice auditions. We were backstage. Emma was dresses in skinny jeans, black ankle boots, a royal blue v-neck tee, and a black leather jacket. "No matter what happens, you'll always be our number one. I don't care if Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher, or Blake Shelton doesn't chose you." I looked at Emma. "You're already a winner in our eyes."
"Emma O'Conner, you're up," the director smiled.
"Have fun," Brian smiled. Emma walked off. We watched from the big screen. "I never heard Emma sing before."
"Neither have I," I nodded. "This is it."
The music started and Emma started whispering. "Step into the dragon's lair. If it's too hot, get out of here," Emma started. The fog machine started creating fog to fill the stage. "Don't you act like you don't care, when you see me standing there." I smiled as the beat picked up. "Always running hot and cold. Up and down and back and forth. You hear yes when I say no. Round and round, away we go."
"She's amazing," Brian smiled.
"She is our daughter," I smiled. "She got it from us, to be amazing."
