Chapter 36: I'm Sorry Dom

Nobody's P.O.V.
Dom put the picture frame aside and then picked up an envelope. Inside was Letty's phone. Dom turned the phone on and called the last number that was called, but that was a mistake.
At the table, Brian's phone rang. He reached for the phone and as soon as he saw the caller I.D., he looked to the back where Dom was and saw the look on Dom's face as he stalked forward after dropping Letty's phone back in the box.
"Shit. Hey, Dom." Brian started, but as Dom got closer, he said in an all too calm voice, "When we're you gonna tell me?"
"Dom what are you doing?" Mia asked as she got up from behind Brian so see what her big brother was talking about.
"When we're you gonna tell me you were running Letty?" Dom spoke over his sister as he continued towards Brian.
"Let me explain..." Brian tried again, but was interupted by Dom throwing him into an old bookcase which crumbled beneath him.
Dom then lifted Brian by the collar of his shirt and pushed him back into a choke hold.
"Dom, stop!" Mia stood back, watching, not wanting to get in between the two, afraid for her saftey.
"You don't understand." Brian choked out as he tried to push Dom's face to release him, but Dom didn't stop as he only squeezed Brian's neck harder and ask, "I don't understand?"
"Stop, stop!" Mia yelled frantically. Brian and Dom then stuggled until Brian broke free, but then was launched into the air and landed hard on the floor.
Dom came up quick and decked Brian as he tried to speak.
"She did it for...Dom, stop!" Brian cried out as he got punched in the face repeatedly.
"Dom, stop it! Please stop!" Mia yelled, tears sprung in her eyes making her vision blurry.
Brian then wrapped his legs tightly around Dom's neck, but Dom saw it as an opportunity to hurt Brian even more. In a choke hold, Dom lifted himself and Brian off the ground, but then slammed Brian back hard. He was about to continue to bash Brian's face in, but stopped as Brian threw his hands up in surrender and yelled, "She did it for you, Dom! She did it for you!"
Brian wiped the blood that dripped from his nose and said sternly, "Letty came to me to clear your name in exchange for bringing down Braga."
Mia was breathing, hard, equally in shock and fear and Dom looked as if he was getting ready to break down into tears.
"She just wanted you to come home!" Brian yelled. Mia looked confused, but didn't say anything because her face said it all. Dom looked from Brian to his Sister and then walked off, but not before Brian kicked the leg of a nearby table and screamed at the top of his lungs, "I'M SORRY, DOM! I'm sorry!"
The next day, Brian made it back to L.A. As he walked threw the door, everyone stopped to take a glance. Everybody branded Brian as a trader and just gave him a look of disbelief.

Brian's P.O.V.
"You better have one he'll of an explanation. You disobeyed a direct order. Where's the shipment?" Penning questioned me as I sat in his office.
I stared back at him with a straight face and replied, "It's safe."
"It's safe." Penning repeated in disbelief.
"Look, we could use the shipment to parade in front of the media, get a few hundred pounds of heroine off the street, but Braga's just gonna send another shipment next week and the week after that. Let's use the shipment to lure Braga out and lop the head off a multi-billion dollar cartel." I tried to persuade. Penning squinted at me a little as he sat on the edge of his desk and asked, "And how do you suggest we do that?"
"A hand-to-hand exchange with Braga." I stated. Stasiak decided to put his two sense in and say, "He'll never show."
I looked at him and shook my head, "He can't afford not to."
Penning stood up and rolled his eyes as he made his way over to the wall and turned as he asked, "You got a plan?"
My leg started to shake as I looked from Stasiak to Penning and said, "There's a price. We bag Braga, you let Toretto walk."
Both men looked at me and really took in what I was asking for, but what didn't go unnoticed was a little head shake from Stasiak.

Nobody's P.O.V.
Ring.... "Yes?"
"It's Dom." Gisele smirked while she was cleaning her pistol and said, "I was just thinking about you. You know, when I gave you my number, I was hoping you'd call. But not under these circumstances."
"What circumstances? Me being alive?" Dom questioned as he turned from Brian who was changing the tire on the car.
"Don't take it personally. It's just buisness." Gisele said lowly.
Dom smirked and said, "I got some buisness of my own. Get Campos."
Brian heard Dom and tried his best to listen to the conversation.
"It's them." Gisele told Campos as she handed him the phone.
"Uh-huh." Campos said into the phone while watching Gisele. Dom grinned and asked, "Was that how Braga inspires loyalty? Killing his drivers?"
"One can always find more drivers. It's just good business." Campos states in a cocky manner.
Dom stares in the open and says, "I want to trade."
"Braga doesn't negotiate." Campos says as he gets up and roams around the room.
Dom scoffs and says, "Fine. You explain to him how all of a sudden $60 million worth of product disappears. I know that can't be good for buisness."
Gisele takes a sip of her drink as Campos askes, "What do you want?"
Dom then says, point-blank, "Six million cash, delivered by Braga himself."
