Way Too Fast, Way Too Furious

Chapter 18

I walked into my apartment for the first time in two months, it didn't change while I was gone. I looked out the window and saw Los Angeles, it looked smaller. Maybe because I had been in Rio and Spain for the past two months, I walked back to my room and saw my unmade bed. I walked over to my nightstand, my badge was sitting on top of it. Which was weird because I always put it in the drawer.
   "Good to see you again Mr. O'Connor." I heard my boss's voice behind me, I whipped around my gun drawn ready to shoot, he had his hands up.
   "What the heck are you doing here?" I asked he put his hands down and walked closer to me, I didn't lower the gun.
   "I came to see if you were ready to arrest Ariana Toretto?" I looked at him and nodded my head no. I hadn't seen Ariana since our last day in Spain, a week ago. I flew out first and went to visit my mother in prison.
   "I haven't seen her since Spain, but no I'm not ready." I said making him nod his head, he frowned.
   "Well, since she's been back. She's been doing the same thing she was before you all left." I nodded my head, he smirked and looked me in the eye.
   "Arrest that girl." He turned around and walked out the door, I lowered my gun. I couldn't arrest her, I loved her.

Ariana's POV

I looked around my room for the walkie-talkie I needed for tonight's job, I had set it on my bed this morning. I looked on my dresser, behind my T.V. I checked everywhere. And I still couldn't find it. I opened my suitcase and there it was sitting on top of my clothes, I picked it up. It was blinking, which meant someone on one of the other lines tried to contact me. I hit the button to communicate with the other people.
   "Hello?" I said and got an answer right away.
   "Ariana, remember the job?" I heard my ex-boyfriend say over the walkie-talkie, he got me into this whole thing about stealing car parts.
   "Yes, how could I not forget. You never shut up about it." I snapped back at him, he snarled on the other end.
   "Okay, listen is Leon on the line?" Jesse asked, Leon was one of my dad's friends. It's been about 18 years since he's seen Leon, I got Leon's number and asked him if he wanted some cash. He said yes and now here we are.
   "Right here, now what time should we start?" Leon said, his voice startling me.
   "It's about 5 now, in an hour." I said. I had a date with Cameron tonight around 8 so we needed to get this done, I looked out the window and saw Tej and Roman's car in the driveway.
   "I'll pick you up Ariana." I heard Leon's voice, I remember meeting Leon once when I was still dating Jesse. I said okay and we all hung up, I got up off my bed and walked to my closet and picked out my outfit. Black Tank Top, Black Jeans and a Brown Jacket. Along with my Green Cross necklace.
     I walked down the stairs and told my parents I was meeting up with Cameron which was a lie, the walkie-talkie went off as soon as I was outside of my house. I answered it and Leon said he was outside, I saw his car. I ran over to it and we were off, it was only about 5:58. We made our way to the spot we were supposed to meet Jesse at. He showed up at 6:15, we all jumped in our cars and headed down the highway.
   "Guys we've got some company." I heard Jesse say over the walkie-talkie, I looked in the rear view mirror. There were like five to ten cop cars.

Cameron's POV
     I was in the closets cop car to Ariana and the two other cars with her. I hated doing this to her, I hit the gas gaining on one of the three cars. I grabbed the walkie-talkie we used to communicate with each other and told them I think I have Ariana's car, I pulled up next to the car and saw her. She didn't look my way just kept hitting the gas, I kept speed with her. She never looked my way which made me happy I didn't want her to know it was me.
     I looked over at her, she had her eyes on the road ahead of her. Then I saw him, my boss on the other side of her. He hit his car against hers, she ran into me, I ran into her. She looked at my boss's car, and hit him. Causing him to spin out of control, I laughed. She then looked at my car and ran into me. I hit the gas and kept up with her. She hit my car again pushing me over the line but just before a car hit me I swerved back into the lane with her again.

Ariana's POV
     This cop kept hitting me with his car, I tried my hardest to hit him but he always dodged it. Then I saw how he kept doing it, he was changing gears. It wasn't just any cop, it was Cameron. I hit his car one more time and he fell behind me, I kept hitting the gas changing gears whenever it was needed. I looked at the road ahead of me and hit the Nos button. I felt the car jerk forward, I was ahead of every car. I looked in the the rearview mirror, Cameron's car was right behind me. I kept myself ahead of him, he tried his best to keep up with me.
     I picked up the walkie-talkie and called out to Leon.
   "Leon we need to get out of here!" I screamed, his voice came back rushed and quiet.
   "Ariana, listen to. They hit my car so I'm in a ditch. They thought they had killed me, but you and Jesse need to finish the job." I heard a drop of gas in the background, his hand still on the button. And the last thing I heard on his end was the sound of his car exploding, I hit the gas and felt the tears coming. Leon had been a big part of this, and he was dead.
     I picked my phone up and called Cameron. He picked up on the third ring.
   "Why?" I asked, he sighed and waited awhile before he answered.
   "Listen, I didn't want to do this. My boss made me, he said my job as in trouble. And if I didn't help him he'd arrest your whole family. So I did what I had to, listen I have a plan. Just do what I tell you." I listened to what he had to say, I did just that. Jesse, who was already caught by the cops, was talking to me over the walkie-talkie trying to get me to stop what I was doing.
     I only listened to Cameron, hopefully I didn't get caught and even if I did, I would flee the country.

Letty's POV
     I walked out to the garage where Dom was, he looked up at me when I walked in. I remembered when we were younger, before everything went wrong and before we had a kid. I smiled at that thought.
   "I love you Letty. Remember that." I looked him in the eye and saw love.
   "I love you too Dom. Remember that." Then the sound of a car drifting came from down the street, I looked for the car and saw Ariana's. I ran outside of the garage and when she pulled up in the driveway, I ran over to her.
   "Why in the world did you come drifting down the street?" I asked a little concerned for my daughter.
   "I need your guys help!" she sounded out of breath like she had just ran a marathon.
   "Why?" I heard Dom ask beside me. She looked at us and then back at the street, she looked almost scared.
   "I. Got caught." is all she said, I knew she was talking about what her, Jesse, and Leon were doing.
   "What about the other two?" I asked, she had one tear run down her cheek.
   "Leon's dead."
"What?" I heard Dom ask, I looked at him. I've never seen him so hurt before, him and Leon were close.
"He told me to finish the job, and I did. Only to have cops follow me." she said it with a tremble in her voice, she looked at me and then at Dom.
"We'll only help you pack your bags. That's it." Dom said, he wanted to help his daughter run from the cops. But before I said anything the sound of sirens started, Ariana freaked out ran into the garage. I knew what she was going after, Dom's shotgun.
"PLEASE COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" I heard a cop say, then from the side of the house a man came running towards us. It was Cameron, he ran up to me and Dom.
"Don't let them get Ariana." I nodded my head. I looked at the front of our house, the cops still out there. I turned around and saw Cameron exit the garage with Ariana under his arm, they went around the back of the garage.
"Dom, we need to go around the front of the house." I said and he nodded.
