After a few days of traveling and preparing we were finally back at the border. I leaned into Brian as he wrapped his arm around me as we sat on the hood of his car. Dom stood up as Gisele drove up to the top of the hill. Gisele got out of the car, a smirk on her face as she closed her door. Dom walked up to her as she stopped in front of him.
"Thought you weren't goin to show up."
"You saved my life, I wanted to return the favor."
I smiled at her words before she handed something to Dom,
"This will help get you to Braga."
The two were silent before she continued,
"Dom, going in there is suicide."
Brians grip on my waist tightened as he pulled me closer to him.
"I have no choice."
Gisele sighed,
"You must have loved her very much."
She placed her hands on Dom's chest before she leaned in and pressed her lips to his cheek. She pulled away and tucked her hair behind her ear,
"Buena Suerte."
Good luck.
She smiled at me before walking to her car and getting in before she drove off. Brian sighed,
"So, this is where my jurisdiction ends."
I smiled softly before I leaned up and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Dom turned around and smirked,
"This is where ours begins."

I quietly walked behind Brian and Dom as we walked into the front of the church. Brian kept his gun trained on Braga as he kneeled in front of the cross. I kept my hand on my gun as Dom pulled out his shotgun and held it to Braga's head,
"You ain't forgiven."
Braga looked up in surprise as he looked at the three of us,
"You three want to arrest me? Aqui?"
I didn't like the idea of getting Braga in a church either, but we had to get him.
"Oh, we're beyond that." Brian said, lowering his gun slightly.
Dom smirked,
"Can't buy your way out of this one."
"Hermano, you and me. You and me, we not so different. You're no hero."
Dom loaded his gun with a loud click as his grip on it tightened,
"You're right. And that's why you're going back across the border."
I let out a sigh of relief as Dom backed away and Brian walked towards Braga and handcuffed him.
"But Fenix is mine."
I looked over at Dom sadly. As much as I hated it, I knew he had to do it. He had to avenge Letty.
Brian pulled Braga to his feet,
"Got it."
We quickly brought Braga out to the other entrance that his guards forgot to cover. I got in the back of Brian's car as Brian threw Braga in the passenger's seat as we took off. Brian quickly drove onto the street as Dom followed behind us.
"You'll only get a couple of miles out if you're lucky." Braga said cockily.
I grabbed Brian's shoulder to steady myself as I smirked,
"Well you did hire him as one of your drivers, so I'd say we'll get pretty far."
Brian smiled at me from his front mirror as he switched gears and we went faster. We sped out of the town area and took a sharp right and I would have fallen over if I hadn't grabbed Brian's hand which was laying on the console. Brian squeezed my hand tightly and rubbed his thumb across my knuckles to calm me down.
Braga laughed at Brian as we drove through the desert,
"You know where you going? You want to use my GPS?"
I leaned forward and quickly smacked Braga as hard as I could in the chest. He let out an 'oof!' as Brian gave me a look as I shrugged my shoulders.
"Where are your boys at? They gonna show up or what?" Brian said just as I heard gunshots.
"You've got impeccable timing O'Conner." I said nervously as I looked out the back window to see all of the cars behind us.
I squeezed Brian's hand tighter as Braga kept taunting him. I saw Dom swerve as he nearly got hit by a car,
"Brian we have to get out of here now!"
"Working on it!" He yelled as he pressed the car to go faster. Suddenly our back windshield shattered as bullets hit the car. I quickly ducked down as Braga screamed.
"Sophia, you okay back there?" Brian yelled over Braga's screaming.
"I'm fine! Just get us out of here!" I yelled back.
More cars flooded into the area as I heard Dom say over the walkie talkie,
"Right behind you!"
I saw Dom knock a large truck off our ass as we now had a little bit of time to get into the tunnels.
"Dom, head to the tunnels!" I yelled into the radio as Brian neared the opening.
Then suddenly our car was sandwiched between two of Braga's men. One of them rammed into the side of our car as I saw one of them flip over in a ball of flames, thank the Lord for my brother. Dom hit the other car off of us and did the same thing.
"Get out of here Brian!" Dom yelled through the radio.
We kept driving right for the cliffs as Braga asked,
"You sure you know where the tunnels are?"
Brian smirked,
"Yeah, I know. I'd hold on."
Brian squeezed my hand and looked back at me once more before we rammed into the opening of the tunnel and crashed through. I breathed a sigh of relief until I saw Fenix following after us. Brian carefully, yet quickly drove through the tunnels like last time. Brian kept switching gears and making quick turns as we tried to outrun Fenix. Brian made a quick decision to go left instead of right. My eyes widened as I saw the dead end sign. Braga smirked,
"What're you going to do now?"
Brian mumbled 'shit' as I looked around for a way out. I quickly pointed towards a boarded area,
"Go left now!"
Brian listened to my command and swerved left which brought us back onto the correct road. I let out a breath as we went in front of Fenix again. Suddenly Fenix moved to our left and we were now driving level with one another. Fenix then swerved in front of us which caused Braga to laugh hysterically. Brian looked over at him and slammed his elbow into his face. I rolled my eyes as he cried out in pain. I leaned forward and squeezed Brian's hand,
"Don't listen to him, you can do this baby."
Brian squeezed my hand back in response as I sat back in the seat. Fenix tried to hit us but Brian quickly switched gears and went faster. Fenix rear ended us as we quickly spun through the tunnel. The minute we got set back straight Brian slammed his foot on the gas and we took off. We drove through the smaller tunnel, almost there.
Just as we got to the end of the tunnel the car started to turn left and Fenix slammed into us. I squeezed Brian's hand as we flew outside of the tunnel. At some point, my hand slipped from his as our car flipped and landed upside down. I breathed erratically as I laid in pain in the backseat. The only thing I could do was focus on the feeling of pain as it coursed through my body. My attention was brought back by the sound of groaning and someone hitting something.
"Brian." I breathed out as I tried to push myself up and get out of the car. I bit my lip as I tried shoving at the door, it was no use. I heard Brian getting beat up by Fenix as I hurriedly kicked at the back door. I busted the back door and fell out of it.
I pushed myself into a standing position and I grabbed onto the side of the car as I tried to help him. I stumbled as I saw Fenix aim his gun at Brian. My eyes widened as I tried to hurry to him,
"Brian!"
Suddenly Fenix turned and aimed his gun at the car barrelling towards him, Dom. I pushed myself off of the car and I fell to the ground as Dom slammed into Fenix and sandwiched him between the two cars.
He was dead.
I looked up as I heard a groan, Brian. I pushed myself off the ground and stumbled towards him. I collapsed on the ground next to him as he pressed his hands to his abdomen.
"Oh my God." I said as I quickly placed my hands on top of his.
He groaned in pain at the added pressure as tears welled in my eyes at his state,
"Shh, you're gonna be fine."
I heard footsteps coming towards me as I looked up to see Dom there. Dom crouched down across from me as I heard sirens in the distance.
"You gotta get out of here." Brian said with a sigh.
Dom looked over at me before looking down at Brian,
"I ain't runnin anymore."
My heart fell at his words but I understood. He's run for so long, you've got to get tired eventually.
"Can I ask you somethin?" Brian said with a heavy pant.
"Yeah."
"You know I would've beat you if you didn't cheat right?" Brian said causing me to smile.
Dom was silent for a moment before saying,
"You hit your head hard."
Brian laughed but moaned in pain and clutched his side,
"Don't make me laugh."
I laughed at the two as I heard the police and helicopters come up to us. I carefully took my hands from Brian's side as I leaned over him and hugged Dom. Dom held me tightly as I smiled into his shoulder,
"I love you Dom."
"I love you too baby girl."
I pulled away from him and smiled, he raised an eyebrow,
"Why are you smiling?"
I sniffled but my smile remained,
"Because I'll see you again."
He smiled at me once more as the police began to get out of their cars. He looked down at Brian,
"Take care of her Buster."
Brian grabbed my hand and squeezed it,
"I will."
The police came over to Dom and handcuffed him and pulled him to his feet. They began to lead him away as I yelled,
"I love you Dom."
He looked back and smiled slightly as they put him in the police car. I looked back at Brian and smiled sadly as I brushed his hair back,
"I love you Brian."
He smiled lopsidedly,
"I love you too."
I leaned down and quickly pressed my lips to his before the paramedics ran over to us.
