{2} One of Them [2 Fast 2 Furious]

VII

"The house has ears in it." Carter explains with a swift gesture around his head that pointed to his ear, and a second later, Sierra sprints to catch up with them, as she was much shorter, than the entire group.

Carter casually tossed his cigar to the side and Sierra winced as it fell into a bush, and, she raised her eyebrows at Monica, who shakes her head.

"I have something I want you to carry, from North Beach, to the Keys." Carter explains.

"What is it?" Brian questioned him at once while also doing his best to make it seem like he wasn't at all, trying, to interrogate him.

In Sierra's, definitely not, expert opinion on the matter, he seemed to be doing a pretty good job of it all.

"Just put in the car all of what I tell you to, and drive it to me, and don't let anybody stop you. Understand?"

At once, Carter's mood seemed to have shifted dangerously and Sierra inched closer to the safety that she felt with Brian.

The other older brother figure, that she felt would always be there to look out for her.

"Yeah. Any chance of cop trouble?" It was the next question that was crucial to their knowledge of the mission, and area. Sierra looked up at Carter now, a bit too close, as her eyes were alert, as she made her eyes brighter.

"No, I'm buying you a window of time, but it's not gonna be open very long. You make it, and I'll personally hand you 100,000, at the finish line."

Carter proclaimed rather unspectacularly to the trio and then naturally, Roman had to open his big, constantly running, mouth yet again.

"Make it 100,000 apiece, papi." Brian and Sierra both were shooting Roman warning signs and looks now, but he'd just keep going, as he was prone to do.

"Look, man... Clearly, your pockets ain't nervous." Roman said and then he suddenly tried to grab Verone and Carter slaps his hand away from him.

"Hey, hey. Don't ever touch me." The master manipulator stated and Sierra backed off quickly, and now, was in a mood of sticking even closer to Brian, if that was possible.

"Ours are empty." Roman continued right on speaking, as Brian gave him a brutal, looking stare, but, it just wasn't working on his ex-friend. "Like I said, we hungry." Rome finished and Sierra was still almost cowerin' next to Brian and she was looking much more like a starving animal, than she was ever in fact, meaning to.

Carter turned back around and all of the emotions, immediately turned off of Sierra's face and she stood up like a real confident robot, with no emotion.

"I got an idea, now. Why don't you two boys and maybe your little lady too, join us, at the club, a little later tonight?" Carter asked them as Sierra looked at Brian, unsure of what to say now.

"Yeah. Pearl at midnight?" Monica piped into the conversation from the back of the group and Sierra's reflexes nearly made her jump, but she made a conscious effort to avoid it.

To avoid showing, at all costs, that, she had forgotten that Monica was standing there behind them.

"Get to know each other a little bit better." Carter Verone added and then Brian looks at Sierra, who shrugged at once, a tiny little bit.

"That sounds good." Brian said and then on impulse, they shook hands on impulse, and Sierra shook hands, with him as well.

"See you tonight." Carter stated.

"See you." Brian said and Sierra, she just simply nodded to Carter, just, as she had watched Dominic do a bunch of times.

"Hey, you!" Carter called after them and Sierra looked at Brian, who was shaking his head at her, and together, they looked at Roman, who knew it.

"Your pockets aren't empty. I'll take my cutter back." Carter stated sharply to Roman as Sierra stood next to them both, her eyes wide, as Roman returns the cutter and they all walked away.

"Same old Rome, doing the same old stupid shit." Brian snapped at Roman, as he held onto his neck, and Roman's eyes rolled, as he shoved Brian away.

"Look, running your mouth? Insulting people? Stealin' Verone's shit?" Brian's voice was deadly serious now.

"You think I'm gonna let somebody stare me down? I didn't, let nobody stare me down in jail, homeboy. And you think, that I'm gonna let it fly, on a beach? 'And you, I'll take my cutter back.' His rich ass." Roman snapped.

Sierra looked between the two guys and she shakes her head. "I came here to drive, to help Brian. But, if you guys can't get along, and if Rome blows this for all of us, I go to jail. And so do you, and I don't want, jail time." Sierra said and Brian's eyes softened as he looked down at her and she sighed. "Sorry. In the light of this, I guess I don't really at all, have my head in the game." She said.

"From here on out, I do all of the talking." Brian snaps at Roman, who shakes his head.

"You really, want to do a whole lot more than that." Roman snapped and Sierra shakes her head.

"This is even worse then the pair that was you and Vince back in LA, Brian."

Sierra said as she swiftly got into her car and drove off with them following her back to Tej's Garage.
