Chapter 20: She slipped up

Nobody's POV
The next day, Verone made his exit with Monica from his mansion. As their car drove by one of Verones 'Gardeners', he got on a mic that was on the collar of his shirt and spoke into it, "I got Verones Navigator leavin' the resitance."
"Copy." Dunn states into his head piece and then informs Bilkins, "Sir, we've got Verone on the move to the airstrip."
"Good. Let's get a bird in the air. Tell him to keep his distance." Bilkins orders.
Elsewhere, Markham was getting his team of F.B.I. Agents ready for whatever happens and Whitworth was in his office communicating to a team that he made up on a walkie-talkie for Verones window. He didn't care about Verone, but he didn't want to be his little lap dog.
Roman and Brian ended up at the Versailles Restaurant that Verone wanted them at.
"Here we go." Ro said and Brian replied, "Yeah, so you know what to do. Just stay cool, keep focused. Remember,the airstrips on Nallwood Avenue. It's the third exit after the bridge."
They talked on their walkie-talkies as Ro said, "Got it."
"So what up, man? You ready for this?" Brian asked without the radio. "Come on, man. Guns, murderers and crooked cops? I was made for this, brah." Roman replies while looking at his best friend, smiling and Brian chuckled.
They both stopped once they saw Enrique and Roberto pull up in one car together. About 15 minutes of driving later, Brian and Roman followed the thugs to a trailer park.
They all got out of their cars once they parked in the middle of the road in the trailer park. Roberto and Enrique took out two sledgehammers from the back of their car as Roberto said, "Come on." to Roman and Brian and they walked up to a trailer. Enrique then knocked on the door and started speaking Spanish to the guy who then took a duffle bag and walked as quickly as he could out of the trailer park. Enrique and Roberto then start hitting the walls with the sledgehammers to reveal all of the money stashed in the wall. Brian was shocked to see how much bank Verone had in that wall so he looked at Roman who nodded back at him.
Enrique and Roberto then start to put the cash into duffle bags and threw them at Rome and Brian to put them in the trunks of their cars.
Whitworth then told all units to move in on Verones trailer property. "Shit! Local P.D. Is moving in on our guys." Bilkins states.
"Three bags in one car, huh?" Roman asks Roberto and he replies, "Guess so."
The boys then hear the police sirens blaring in the distance and a chopper headed in their direction.
"Cops." Brian says under his breath as they moved quickly to get out of there before they get caught.
"I'm not goin' back to jail." Roman states a little pissed off as he sees a woman down the road pointing in their direction for the cops to follow them, so he grabs a huge rock as Roberto yelled, "Where you goin', man? Let's go! Let's go!"
"What is he doing?!" Enrique asked furiously. Roman then opens the door of Enrique and Roberto's car and places the rock on the gas pedal. He then turns the car on, gets out of the car and shuts the door as the car took off in full speed. Roman stood there to watch the magic happen as the car crashed into the first cop car and then the other crashed into the cop car. Roman started laughing and flicking his shirt while looking at Brian and all he could do was chuckle as the two go out of there with Enrique and Roberto.
"Okay. Now let's get the chopper over them. I want eyes right on top." Bilkins states to Dunn. "You got it. Lima 25, follow G.P.S."
Brian and Roman race threw the streets of Miami with the cops tailing close behind.
"You know what you doin', man?" Enrique asks Brian, frightened for his life. Brian didn't say a word. He did though, when he was talking to himself about his best friend. "Stay with me, Rome. Stay with me. Come on, man."
Roman and Brian were going a hundred and twenty miles per hour and counting.
"I've got them heading south on I-95. Bring in the aerial E.S.D.'s." A woman stated on the radio in the chopper. The police were right on Romans tail which cause Roman to look back and say, "Oh shit!"
"They're catching up, man!" Enrique yelled to Brian, freaking out, so Brian yelled, "Shut up,man!" As they passed cars on the freeway, Roman swerve and dodged the cops as best as he could. Brian watched him and said, "Yeah, nice drivin', Rome. Nice drivin'."
"I got ha, Brian." Roman said, not wanting to let his best friend down. Out of nowhere, the chopper lowered itself over them which made Roberto yell out to Roman, "Check it out, man!"
Brian knew exactly what they were gonna do, so he stomped on his breaks, making Roman do the same, which resulted Brian getting both hits on the side of his car.
"What was that?" Enrique asked. Brian then looked out the window to see the nifty little gadget that made his car go haywire the first time he got caught in Miami.
"Oh, shit!" Brian said as he looked back in the car to see everything in the car shutting down slowly. "Come on, man. Take the wheel."
"No, no, no, no! I can't drive!" Enrique says frantically, but Brian wasn't having that, so he yelled as he grabbed his hand, "Just hold the wheel straight!"
"I can't drive!" Enrique yelled and kept yelling until Brian yelled louder, "Hold it right there! Just hold it steady, just like that." Brian then climbed out of the driver window trying to get the device off.
"What are you doin', man?" Roman yelled as he feared for his friend. Looking behind them, Roberto saw a whole punch of cop cars crash together, with other driving around the chaos to catch Ro and Bri. Enrique held onto the stealing wheel with one hand and used the other to hold onto the back of Brian's shirt, tightly. "¿Qué pasa?" Roberto asked Rome.
Brian then tried as hard as he could to pull the device out and when he did, he didn't hesitate to throw it at the closest cop car tailing them. That caused another massive cop car crash.
"Whoo! Yeah, man!" Brian yelled at Enrique while Enrique cursed him out in Spanish, saying that he's crazy because he can't drive and Brian made him do something he couldn't do. Roman laughed at the mess Brian made while Roberto smiled.
At the airstrip, Markham and his team laid low in the tall grass. "Bilkins, the birds in place." Markham then looks into his binoculars to she Verones car drive by and said, "Yeah, we got Verones Navigator."
"All right. Money's in transit. Sit tight." Bilkins replies.
Brian and Roman then take the next exit and once Roman was side by side with Brian's car, they nodded as they headed to their little surprise.
"You're a good driver, man." Enrique says kindly to Brian as they made twists and turns through the streets. Brian thanked him by saying, "Thanks, bro."
"We've got the area blocked ahead. They've got nowhere to go." The woman in the Miami City chopper states casually until the F.B.I. chopper flew over them and she asked, "What was that?"
"Visual image coming through." A man said in the chopper and Bilkins replied, "Thanks, got it." But as he saw what was going on, he asked himself, "Where are they goin'?"
Brian and Roman swerved every cop car , making crazy turns, not knowing what's to come. "Alright, Miami's finest, let's see what you got." Brian says challengingly. "Come on. Stay with me, boys." Brian says aloud to himself.
Looking up, Bri saw the F.B.I. and the Miami City choppers hovering over them, so Brian got on the radio and said to Roman, "Hey, man. Everyone's here. Time for the show."
"Let's give it to 'em." Roman agreed. The police tried to block them from going any further, but they didn't block where they intended to go. As Brian drove down the alley, he said, "All right. Let the party begin. Let's go." Roman and Brian drove into the lot where Tej and them made their plans. They drove into the garage where the 2 opening closed automatically.
"This is unit 2599. We have the suspects surrounded." The chief states into the radio, but what he didn't expect is for hundreds of trucks, and cars start zooming out of the garage and all over the lot.
"Holy shit!" The woman in the chopper exclaims.
"It's a scramble, baby. A big one!" Orange Julius states and being followed by Slap Jack, "Yeah. Let's do this!"
Jaelene then walked into the room with Bilkins and smirked as she saw what was on the screen. Bilkins looked at the screen in shock, but in awe as Jaelene put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Yup. That's my big brother for ya! Making trouble wherever he and Rome go."
The Miami police were going crazy trying to look for Brian and Roman, but couldn't seem to find them.
"We're not tracking them on video. Must have lost them in the scramble." Bilkins states on the radio.
"Y'all, let's break." Brian says on his radio and all of the cars and trucks in the lock left the scene as quickly as possible, police following anyone they can find just to arrest them. Brian and Romans purple and green cars then have some fun, but Rome and Brian aren't the ones driving them.
"All right. We got 'em going west on Beach." Bilkins states into his radio. "Roger that. I've got 'em." The man in the chopper replies.
"Customs has a fix on two cars going west on a Beach." The woman says into her radio and a man comes on and says, "Roger. Follow those cars."
"Roger that." The woman replies. Both choppers and the cops are now following the purple and green cars and surrounded them with nowhere to go.
"Shit. They're cornered." Bilkins states frustrated. "Come out and put you hand where I can see them! Put your hands up!" The officer yelled on the megaphone. Little did they know, Suki stepped out of Romans car and Tej stepped out of Brian's. "Woah. Fellas, fellas. I know my tags are out of date, but, damn!" Tej says. The F.B.I. chopper then hover over Suki and Tej with the camera on for Bilkins to see.
"What the hell? Where are they?" Bilkins asks confused as he sees Tej and Suki waving to the chopper.
"Whoo! How bout them apples, man?" Brian yelled while laughing and Roman was in his own little world as he yelled, "Yeah! That's some drivin' for your ass, baby! Ain't that some drivin' for your ass?" Enrique then congratulated Brian with a, "Good job, man." while Roman was joking with Roberto and said, "You supposed to be a stone-faced killer. You over there grab in' your seat beat. Hahaha!"
Brian then got on his radio and said, "Hey, Tej. Thanks a lot, bro. Man, you're the clutch. I owe you one, big time."
"Yeah, Brian, you really do owe me, man. You really do--" Tej starts, but was cut off by Suki elbowing him in his side, both leaning on the side of the cop car getting their statements taken by a cop.
"Us." Suki said quietly and Tej finished, "--Us. Suki said you owe us, aight?"
Almost at the airstrip, Brian gets on the radio and says, "Yo, Rome. You there, man? Come in."
"What's up, man?" Roman asked all hype. "Aye, it looks like we got just one more trick left, huh?" Brian asked into the radio and Roman replied, "My pleasure, buddy. Let's do it, baby."
On the roof of the building, Bilkins walked fast towards a chopper while one of the agents said to him, "Hey. We should grab Verone while we still can."
"No. Not yet." Bilkins yelled and stood on the platform to enter the chopper.
"What? You lost them? Shit! Those little pricks are running." Markham yelled. "It's your call. What do you wanna do?" An officer asked. "We're gonna take him down. He is not leaving here." Markham ordered.
Back in the car, Roman asked Roberto, "Enjoyin' the ride? Man, it's a fast car, huh? Hahaha man, it's a classic. Old school. American muscle. Hahaha. Man, this car can do all kinda things, man. Wanna see? Hehehehahaha. Check this out right here, homey." Roman then quickly unbuckled Roberto's seat belt as Roberto asked, "Yo! What are you doin', man?" and then slammed his head into the dashboard repeatedly as Roman yelled, "Shut up!"
Roman then started laughing as he pushed a button which threw the passenger door off and launched the passenger seat out of the car. "Ejecto seato, cuz! It worked! I love this button! Hahaha!"
Roberto was launched straight into a river which made him start coughing up water as Roman yelled, "Stay on your toes, puto! Hahah!"
Roman then got back on the radio and yelled, "Mr. O'Connor, it worked, baby. Blow and go. I'm all clear. Meet me at the point. Hurry up, man. It's on, baby."
"All right. Ten-four, man." Brian replied.
"Are you ready? Let's go!" Markham yelled. Him and his team charged down to the car and pulled out the driver from the car, but when they checked the car, there was no sign of Monica or Carter.
"It's not Verone and Fuentes." Markham informed Bilkins over the radio. "What do you mean it's not Verone and Fuentes?! Then where the hell are they?" Bilkins yelled back.
In the car, Brian was ready to push the eject button, but then Enrique spoke up and said, "Get off on Tarpon Point."
"Tarpon Point? There's--There's no airstrip at Tarpon Point." Brian stated confused and worried. Enrique then turned his head, back to his straight faced self and asked, "Who said anything about an airstrip?" Brian then lowered his hand and continued to drive. Jae called Jimmy to pick her up and take her to see Rome and her brother and he did. They sat in their spot until they saw Romans car pull up.
"Brian, Brian, man, what's the holdup, brah?" Roman asked on the radio and Brian quickly replied, "Yo, Rome, there's a new plan."
"What the hell?" Roman asked and Brian said, "We're meeting them at the Tarpon Point exit, not the airstrip."
"So what are you sayin'?" Roman asked confused. "Like I said, there's a new plan." Brian said and turned his radio off.
"Brian? Brian? Hello, you there? Damn!" Roman yelled, not knowing what to do.
"Yo! What the hell is he doin'?" Jimmy asks confused and everything hits Jae as she said frantically, "The Feds are in the wrong place!" as she jumped back in the car and called Jimmy. "Brian's woman is on her own with Verone." Roman added on.
"So--" Jimmy started but Roman yelled, "So Brian's not comin'."
Brian then pulled up to where Verone was and was immediately stopped by Verones gunmen. Carter Verone then stepped out of the car with a shot gun in his hand and pulled Monica out of the car while telling his gun men, "It all right. Let him out."
"Get out." The guy said to Brian, pointing his gun at him. Brian then got out and slowly made his way towards the back of his car, not taking his eyes off Verone, making sure that he didn't try anything.
"Pop the trunk." Enrique ordered and asked another guy, in Spanish, to stand behind Brian to make sure he didn't try anything either. "Hurry up." Verone stated impatiently, not wanting to waste any time. Verones other guy grabbed the duffle bag full of cash from Brian's car and brought it to Verone.
"Where's the rest of it?" Verone asked suspiciously and Brian replied, "The other car."
"Another car. Where's the other car?" Verone continued and Brian stood calm as he replied, "On its way."
Verone smirked. "On the way, huh?" Brian then grabbed the duffle bag and said, "Yeah. Here's your money. and tossed the bag to the ground.
"So you know nothing about the agents that stormed my jet?" Verone asked Brian, but he just shook his head and stayed quiet. "The funny thing is that I only told one person about the airstrip." Verone said as he made his way towards Monica and caressed her face as he continued, "Custom agents sure are gettin' pretty, aren't they? Put her on the boat."
Enrique then pointed his gun to the back of Brian's head as Verones guy went up to Monica and ordered, "Let's go." but Monica smacked his hand away as he tried to grab her, and when Verone saw this, boy was he pissed.
"Get on the boat." Verone said as he lifted up his shot gun to Monica's face. She looked at Brian as he nodded his head and then went off to the boat.
"Hide the cars and get rid of him." Verone ordered Enrique and Enrique followed the order as he shoved his gun in the back of Brian's head as he said, "Get back in the car."
