T2 - The Second Toretto

Chapter 27

After he left I took a few deep breaths and got into my car. As soon as the scramble started I did my best to keep close to them but not close enough to be caught by the police. We had an address but soon enough something went wrong. I met up with Roman, Jimmy was following and I heard Roman talking to Brian.

"Brian, Brian, man, what's the holdup, brah?" Roman asked over the radio.

"Yo, Rome, there's a new plan." he replied.

"What's going on Roman?" I worriedly asked.

"What the hell, man?" Jimmy asked.

"We're meeting them at the Tarpon Point exit, not the airstrip." Brian said.

"Carter knew she was gonna tell Brian, he set all of you up. All of us." I told Roman.

"So what are you saying?" Roman asked over the radio but I knew that he was asking me too.

"Like I said, there's a new plan." Brian replied.g

"Brian! Brian, hello? You there? Damn it!"

"I don't like this, let's go." I told him.

"Follow me but keep a distance."

"Yo! What the hell is he doing?" Jimmy asked, I completely forgot that he was here.

"The feds are in the wrong place. Charlie and Brian's friend is on her own with Verone." Roman said, making me growl a little.

"So . . ."

"So Brian's not coming." I said.

"Damn." he said.

"Roman, we need to go."

"Let's do it baby girl. Remember what I said . . ."

"Yeah, I'll keep my distance."

I followed Rome and was able to watch everything that went down from a safe distance. As soon as Roberto was gone I made my way over to them. Brian saw me and opened his arms and I ran into them. He's alive and he's right here.

"Thank God you're okay." I sighed.

"I'm fine babe but this isn't over." he said, kissing my head.

"I thought you was dead, man." Roman said.

"Yeah, me too. Thanks for saving my ass, bro." he replied.

"What about Monica?" I asked, watching the yacht get away.

"Stay here." he told me.

"Excuse me?"

"What are you doing, Brian?" Roman asked as Brian got back in the car.

"I don't know, but if Verone sees a helicopter or Customs boat, she's dead." he said.

"Don't . . ." I said.

"Boat, car, boat . . . you're not gonna do what I think you're gonna do?" Roman asked.

"Charlie, I love you, I'll be back babe. Roman, yeah, I think so. You got my back, bro?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Put on a seat belt." Brian said.

"O'Conner." I growled.

"I'll be fine, I'll be back." he said.

I watched him zoom off and land on the damn yacht with my heart in my damn throat. This guy really is stupid. They had to fuck themselves up with such a rough landing. Now, I just have to wait for this to be really over.
