Amelia walked in the office of the garage. She was sweating, but it was break time. She threw herself in the chair as she took a sip of her water. She leaned her head back as she looked down at the desk. There was manila envelope sitting on it. She sat up putting her water down. She looked up making sure no one was around before picking the envelope up. Her hands were shaking. The last time she did this Letty was alive. She looked up again, no one was in sight. She opened it up pulling all the contents out. Something fell to the ground. She looked down before looking at the paper in her hands. It was to Hobbs. She bent down and picked up the paper that fell on the ground and turned it over. Her heart stopped. "Jesse." She gasped. She covered her hand with her mouth as she fell back into the chair. She heard her brother's voice as he approached the office.
"Yeah I will take care of it." He called out before turning around. He saw his sister sitting there, still holding onto the picture. "Amelia, what is it?" He walked into the office and looked down at the desk where the envelope was sitting. "Millie…" He sighed.
"Is it true?" Tears formed in her eyes. "Is this true?"
"I don't know." He rubbed his hands over his face. "I haven't really thought about it lately."
"You find out that Jesse is alive and you just forget about it."
"I was focused on you okay, you were in a really bad state. When I found out it was the day you came into Hobbs' office. He told me then we found out that Shaw brought you to us. I forgot about it. I thought I was going to lose you. I just wanted things to go back to normal."
"Normal? Really? Things will never go back to normal Dom. "You have known this whole time that he was alive and you didn't say a word."
"I don't even know if it's true Millie…"
"He was my best friend; you could have at least told me. Instead I have to find out through an envelope that a dead cop gave to you." She wiped her face as she stood up from the desk. He reached out for her but she swatted his hand away. "I'm going home, I really don't want to be here anymore."
"Amelia…"
"Bye Dom, I'll see you at home." She walked out of the office just as Leon and Han were walking into the garage.
"Hey baby…" Leon stopped and noticed the tears streaming down her face.
"Please tell me that you didn't know that Jesse was still alive?" She looked up at him. His face immediately fell. She nodded her head. "So does everyone know? Am I the only one who didn't know that my best friend, who I watched get shot multiple times, is actually still alive?"
"We don't know that…"
"No please, save it. I really don't want to hear it."
Leon went to grab her arm but she pushed away from him. "I'm going home, right now I just can't look at any of you." She turned on her heel and walked out of the garage.
He leaned up from the computer as he looked outside. The sun was just going down in Tijuana and he was ready to go home. It had been a long day and he really just wanted to sleep. He wiped his eyes as he stretched his arms above his head.
"Yo Jess, man when is that detail going to be ready? They called four times today." A man appeared in front of him.
"I told him that it wouldn't be done till tomorrow but he insists that I can have done today, that's not happening. I have been swamped all day doing all this shit, he can wait one more day."
The man began to laugh. "You getting a little overwhelmed?"
Jesse began to laugh. "No, not at all."
"Well, you better suck it up because we are leaving for LA in three days."
Jesse nodded his head. "I told Harry we would be up there as soon as we can, we are closing for a couple of days then Dante is going to come and open back up until we get back."
"What exactly are we doing again?"
"Los Angeles is known for its street racing. Supposedly one of the top street racers has been back in town but no one really wants to go back to him. He's been on the run for about seven years now but finally was pardoned for all his sins I guess. Harry wants us to come up and see if we can help out a little bit."
"So we are going to help out a convicted felon? How awesome." Jesse looked back at his computer. "Its six, I'm going to head out. I didn't get much sleep last night."
"Yeah, that Kylee will do that to you."
Jesse didn't respond instead he just smiled. As he stood up from the chair a sharp pain came across his leg causing him to sit back down. "Whoa!"
"Sorry, it happens sometimes."
"Yeah, I understand." The man still had his hand held out to him.
"Its fine," Jesse laughed. "Gosh Leo, you would think you cared or something." He hit his hand away.
"You are one of my best mechanics Jess, I can't have you dying on me."
Jesse laughed. "I'll be okay, I don't think you have to worry about me dying on you anytime soon." He moved from the chair one more time before patting Leo on the back and heading to the door. "I'll see you tomorrow, try not to burn the place down while I'm gone."
"That was one time!" Leo yelled after him. Jesse smiled as he pulled the hoodie over his head and stepped outside.
Two days had passed since Amelia found out that Jesse was still alive. She hadn't spoken to anyone in the house making it quite awkward for anyone who came around. It was Sunday, so she knew the whole team was going to be arriving soon for their annual BBQ. She didn't want anything to do with it. She sat on the steps and just stared at the spot that Jesse was killed at. She can still see it even though it was seven years ago, it's still so real in her mind. She closed her eyes as she heard the engines of the motorcycles, hearing Mia scream as she gunshots went off, then hearing that god awful scream, knowing Jesse had been hit. Her eyes shot open as she felt the presence of someone beside her.
"You know it's kind of annoying not talking to you for two days." Dom looked over at her. She refused to look at him.
"It's kind of annoying being lied to."
"I didn't lie to you…"
"You didn't tell me, that's the same thing Dom." She spat. "I deserved to know even if it was true or not."
"I understand."
"No you don't." She stood up and walked away from him back into the house.
"I found these." Mia held up the papers in her hand. Amelia glared at her sister.
"You found them because you went snooping." Amelia replied.
"You can't just go look for him by yourself Millie."
"Yes, I can. It's not like any of you are doing anything about it. Yall kept this from me."
"It has been seven months since you got out of the hospital from almost being killed my Ian Shaw. You wouldn't talk to anyone. You just laid in your bed. I am the one who told Dom to let it go that you didn't need the stress on you."
"How do you just let something like that go? We watched him get shot over and over again Mia, you held him in your arms as he died…"
"I know that." Mia whispered. The door opened and closed as Dom walked inside.
"Listen, I know that you are upset. We should have told you, but I honestly didn't know how…"
"It doesn't matter," Amelia cut in. "I will find him myself."
"No…" Dom was firm. Amelia glared at her brother as she moved away from him. "I need to talk to everyone before we sit down to eat. Mia can you go get everyone."
Mia nodded her head handing the papers over to Dom before walking away. "You care to explain?" He held the papers up.
"No." Amelia shook her head walking passed him. "I'm leaving Dom, and I am going to find him."
"Millie, if you will please just let me explain…" Dom tried to stop her.
"I'm done listening Dom…" She pushed open the door. "I will call you when I get to where I am going."
"Millie don't you dare walk out that door!" Dom yelled.
"Dom…" Mia walked back in with the rest of the team behind her. They were all looking at Amelia wondering what was going on.
"I'm sorry guys, but I need to go. I am going to find…"
"Hey…" He appeared behind her.
"Jesse…" Amelia twirled around to see him standing in front of her. His hair was longer. He was a little darker as well, but she knew that face. She knew those eyes. It was him and he was at her house, standing right in front of her. Her heart stopped beating.
