AN: Last chapter you guys! If you haven't already, you guys should go read the previous chapter. I added a few things in there to make this chapter make more sense of who certain people are. Enjoy!
One day before…
Gabriella had just closed the door to Jack's room when her cell phone began to go off in her back pocket. She jerked her hand to her pants pulling the phone out. "Hello?" She whispered in the phone as she hurried into the living room. Who the hell was calling her right now? It was in the middle of the night in London, so she knew it wasn't Dom or Brian. She hadn't heard from them in almost two weeks causing things to be stressful around the house. Mia had been trying to be optimistic and hopefully, which only annoyed Gabriella. She was also trying to keep Gabriella busy all the time, hence why she was at the house right now watching Jack. Mia, taking Harrison with her, went to the store about two hours ago. She plopped down on the couch.
"Gabriella?"
She looked down at the phone not recognizing the number. "Who is this?"
"Gavin. I have been trying to get a hold of you for the longest time."
"Gavin?" She hadn't talked to him since the whole Blake incident. "How did you get this number?"
"You forgot who I am, Gab. I can find anyone in the world if I want to."
"Why are you calling me?"
"Your family is in danger."
Gabriella looked in the direction of Jack's room. "What are you talking about?"
"I wanted to get a hold of you before your brother left, but he is good at keeping everyone's identity a secret."
She stood up. "How do you know about my brother?"
"I need you to tell me where you are, something is about to go down and I had promised Brian that I would look after you, so I need you get your things together and get the hell out of Spain."
"I'm not leaving my family, what the hell is going on?" She yelled into the phone. "Just say it!"
"Owen Shaw, the man your brother is going after, he is going to kill your family."
"Why would he want to do that?"
"Braga."
Gabriella felt her legs give out on her as she fell back on the couch. "Brian is in the states right now talking to Braga, Shaw is going to come after you."
"Why?"
"It goes back to San Diego. I was in the Navy, a soldier. I retired back when Brian recruited me to come to San Diego to look after you. I took Harrison with me, but I hired guys from all over California. I honestly didn't know about Blake. He did very well in keeping things hidden, it wasn't until I found out who he was that he had already attacked you. I'm truly sorry for that. You left and I kept the garage open, it was making money and would have been stupid to close it. Jorge was acting weird and doing some shady shit, so I looked into it. He began working for a guy named Owen Shaw. He moved up to the bigger picture, Deckard. He was in the military. He was good at his job. He became an assassin, got reassigned until the government no longer needed him. He was meant to be killed but he out smarted everyone and escaped. This man is dangerous. He takes who he wants no matter what. I didn't know the threat at the time but you were gone so I went undercover again. I joined them."
"Oh you bastard." Gabriella whispered.
"Mario joined to. They just filled us in of a job in London, Letty was with them. I didn't really understand what was going on but Shaw kept talking about a man named Braga who Brian put into prison in the states."
"Where does my family being in danger come into play? They knew what they were getting themselves into. Dom went to get Letty back and to bring our family back home. He went to save us."
"I meant you. You are in danger."
Gabriella closed her eyes running her hands through her hair. "Jorge had mentioned who you were to Shaw, he wants you. He wants to break Dom and he knows just exactly how to do it."
"What do you want me to do? Mia is here, she has a baby. What do you want me to say to them?"
"You need to get out of there, just run."
"Run where?" She yelled. "I have nowhere to run to, Gavin." Tears fell down her face as she quickly wiped them away. "Tell me what to do."
"You come with me, I will come get you."
"And what happens to Mia…and Harrison?"
"They should be safe."
"For how long?"
There was silence. "Forever." She stated with a sigh. She put her hand on her lips and squeezed her eyes closed. She took in a deep breath. "You make me a promise right now, promise me nothing happens to my sister. Promise me nothing happens to my family."
"I promise."
She sat on the couch with the phone still her to ear, they hadn't really spoken anymore. She knew he was giving her time to process everything. "So what is it that you need me to do?"
"Shaw's men are coming to Spain for you, they should be there in two days max. You need to let them take you, let me them take you."
"Gavin," She rubbed her face. "This scares the shit out of me."
"I know it does, but it's the only way to protect your entire family. You go to Shaw, he wants you. You will have me with you."
She nodded her head as if he could see her. She heard the sound of car doors closing. She quickly jumped up. "My sister is home. Two days? I'll be ready." She hung the phone before quickly wiping her face making sure there wasn't a trace of tears left on her face.
She felt like she had time to process everything but she really didn't. She didn't have enough time to say goodbye to her sister or to the man she loved. She knew one thing though, she wasn't going to sit around and watch the rest of her family die one by one. She was going to do what Gavin told her to do. It was the only way to protect them. It was the only way to make sure everyone was safe. She stood on the beach with her arms crossed over her. It was nearly eighty degrees outside but she found herself shivering. Harrison had walked outside wrapping his arms around her shoulders kissing her lightly on the cheek. There were the moments she was going to miss the most. Being there with him, holding him. He was her light. He made the darkness disappear and she was in love with him. She had no clue if she was ever going to see him again. She went to say something to him when she heard that piercing scream from inside the house. Her heart stopped beating as she took off running. No. it was too soon. She didn't have time to do anything as her feet kept moving towards the house. She didn't know what to expect when she came around the corner, all guns were pointed at her. This wasn't right.
She could feel him fighting her as he held onto her whispering in her ear to stop fighting. She was confused. Shaw wanted her, then why weren't they taking her. "Just play along." Mario had whispered in her ear. Her eyes had filled up with tears as she stared straight at her sister. "I'm okay." She sniffed back. "I'm oka-" She felt the swift movement of her neck as if it had been snapped. She let her body fall hard to the ground as it knocked the breath of her. She could still here her sister screaming, she wanted to get up and run to her. She wanted it to all stop. She felt the breeze as she felt Harrison begin drugged by her. This wasn't right. What was happening? She was supposed to be the one to go not them. Tears streamed down her face when she heard the car speed past her. "It's okay, you can move." Mario had his hand held down to her as she opened her eyes. She slapped her hand in his lifting herself off the ground before shoving him. "THIS WASN'T THE PLAN!" She screamed. She shoved him again.
"Gab!" Gavin rushed over to her grabbing her arms.
"You said they would be okay. You said it was me that he wanted." She tried to fight him as he grabbed her arms. "He is going to kill them." She sobbed. She laid her head down as Gavin brought her into his arms.
"I couldn't let you go, I couldn't let you risk your life for your family."
"They are all going to die." She cried.
"Your family are fighters, they will get through this."
"I made a decision, Gavin. I was fine with that decision, you just got my family killed." She shoved him. She wiped her face as she walked away from him. "You need to make this right."
She felt her chest jump every now and then as she looked out the window of the plane. It was like she was in a movie, a very long action movie. The plan was a go. Gavin was right, her family had succeeded in bringing down Owen. Dom threw him out of a plane, only one causality occurred. Gisele. Gabriella wiped her face again as a tear slipped down her face. She had died. She could only imagine what was going through Dom's head right now. Harrison was sure to have told them that she was dead and now she was on her way to make it right. She was on her was back to Los Angeles, California to be reunited with her family. She gave a soft smile as she thought about the little house that she had grew up in. She missed that place. It had so many memories, some horrible but most of them were amazing. She missed it. She missed them. She looked over at Gavin who was on the phone. His facial expression was hard and serious. She didn't play him any mind as she leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes. In just a few short hours, she would be back in the arms of her family. And she couldn't wait.
She felt her body being violently shaken awake. She was still on the plane. Why? She looked around, Gavin was still seated in his same seat but this time he was staring at her. The look he was given her told her something was wrong. She looked out the window. They were still in the air and it was dark. "What is going on?" She finally asked. "Where are we?"
"London. We are about to land in about ten minutes."
"What?" She yelled. She unbuckled her seat belt and stood up. "Why are we here?"
"Because plans have changed. Owen Shaw is still alive."
Gabriella felt her head get light as Gavin rushed to her grabbing her waist and setting her down in the chair in front of him. "How?" She gasped.
"Deckard Shaw doesn't know about is brother and we are going to keep it that way, but you have to go to him. You have to go and make it seem that Owen sent you."
Her eyes widened. "He's going to kill me."
"No, just the opposite, he wants you to be with him. He was intrigued by the things Jorge has told him about you, he wants to me you."
She shook her head. "This was all just a game wasn't it?"
"No." Gavin whispered. "I thought this was taken care of, but it's not. You get to see your family again, but Deckard wants you at his hand right now. I don't know when that is, but Gabriella, you will see your family again."
"My family tried to kill his brother, what makes you think he is just going to welcome me in his arms?"
"Because he's been watching you since you moved to San Diego." He looked away from her. "He's always had his eye on your Gabriella, he just never made his move until now."
Three years later…
Gabriella stepped off the plane pulling her sunglasses down over her eyes shielding them from the sun. She felt the California air hit her in the face causing her to smile. She hadn't been home in little over seven years, she definitely had missed. Life in London wasn't all fun and games but she grew to love it knowing she didn't have a choice. She shook her head of the thought before picking up her carry on and walking towards the terminal. She waited for everyone to get off the plane before taking her sunglasses off and smiling at Gavin, who walked up beside her. "You know kid, you never cease to surprise me. I never thought you would come back here after everything."
"My brother did the right thing, Gavin. He wasn't born a killer."
"Yeah, are you sure this is what you want to do?"
"It's been too long. I need to go back to my family."
"You know if you ever need anything, I am always a phone call away."
"Gavin, something tells me you will be watching me no matter what."
He grabbed her arm bringing her into his arms. "You know you are one of the strongest people I know. You did what needed to be done, you led your family to believe that you were truly dead as you lived your life with Deckard Shaw. And now he is in jail for the rest of his life. You helped do that."
"I did what I had to do. Listen, I know we talked to Hobbs but are we sure he isn't going to say anything?"
"He is sworn to secrecy. He wont tell if you don't want him to tell."
"Just not yet. I'm not ready for that. I am not ready for any of it but I know this is where I need to be now. So thank you for everything, I don't know how we did it but we did and I am so glad I had you by my side. I don't think I could ever repay you."
"Just stay out of trouble." She laughed as he kissed her on the side of the head before she grabbed her bad and walked away from him.
She knew everything had happened. Han's death, she was there. She shook her head of the thought as tears formed in her eyes. But she didn't let them escape. She wasn't going to let them escape. But she knew about the house, it was no longer there. It broke her heart the most because that's where all the memories were. And they were gone. Jack was two now. Boy, just thinking about how big he was, put a smile on her face. Her family moved to San Diego, but she knew she needed to see the house before going to them. She waited for the taxi to pull up to her before handing her bag to the man and climbing into the backseat. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she patted her legs, just anxious to get this over with. The anxiety was building up as she stared out the window. The ride to the house wasn't a long one but the moment she saw it her heart jumped into her throat. It was gone. It was truly gone. Shaw wasn't kidding when he said he destroyed it. He was going to break Dom and she just sat by and watched.
She was going to pay out the ass for the taxi ride to San Diego but it cleared her mind as she rode down the high way. She didn't know what she was going to expect when she arrived at the house. She really didn't want to do it but it had to be done. Hobbs had given her everything she needed to know about the whereabouts of her family. She smiled to herself as rolled the window down letting the breeze hit her. She let mind wonder back to London. It was seriously the longest three years of her life. The first year was the roughest, she didn't know what was going on and what she was supposed to do with Deckard but he made it perfectly clear she was his and she would remain his. He wasn't very kind in the beginning. He demanded her to forget about her family. She wasn't allowed to contact anyone, she wasn't allowed a cell phone, a computer, nothing. When she did have the opportunity to use the computer she was monitored 24/7. It was like she was in prison. It wasn't until she knew the plans of Deckard wanting to kill her brother for hurting his that she knew something needed to be done. Then came the third year… the car came to a stop as she looked up at the house in front of her. All the cars were parked out front causing her to smile. She threw a hundred dollar bill up to the front seat before climbing out. As she walked up the long drive way she heard talking coming from inside the garage. "You know, I caught myself thinking about her the other day." It was Brian's voice. "It was just a split second, I could hear her voice talking and I turned around thinking it was her, but it wasn't. Is it weird? That I can still remember the sound of her voice?"
"No." Dom was there. Gabriella took a deep breath as she walked towards the opening of the garage and just stood there. She heard the clinging of a tool hitting the ground as she looked up them with a soft smile.
"Hey Dom." She replied softly. "It's been a while."
"Gabriella?" Brian breathed out. They both didn't move. No one moved. They all three continued to stand there and stare at each other. "How is this possible?" He finally asked.
"It's a long story, but it all started off in Spain when Shaw took Mia and Harrison." She looked over at Dom. "I wanted to tell you, I really did but I couldn't."
"You were dead." Dom spoke. "You died."
"I needed you to believe that and you believed it so easily." The tears formed again. This time she couldn't control them as they spilled out on to her face. "I have be-"
"Harrison said they broke your neck." Brian cut in. "He said that they broke your neck and you just fell to the ground like a piece of trash."
"I know." She whispered. "I am so sorry. I wish I could tell you everything but I can't, not right now. I just knew that I needed to come back here. I needed to see you and to hug you."
"It's been three years, Gab."
"Three FUCKING YEARS!" Dom screamed as his hand hit the tool box next to him knocking the tools to the ground. Gabriella's hand flew to her mouth as a soft cry escaped. "You don't tell me you are alive for two years and you just come walking in here like nothing has happened."
"A lot has happened, I know it has. Gavin-"
"Gavin? I knew he should be a part of this." Brian signed as he turned around. He ran his hands over his face.
"He called me in Spain…I was going to tell Mia and Harrison the plan but it was too late. Shaw's people were already at the house…"
"You knew?" Brian yelled this time. "You knew they were coming to the house? MY KID WAS THERE!"
This wasn't going how she had seen it going. Nothing was coming out of her mouth the way it was supposed to come out. She wanted to explain everything but she didn't know how. She didn't know how to tell them that she was with Deckard and that she knew about everything that was going down but she couldn't stop it. She didn't have the power to stop what he was doing. Her hand flew to her mouth as the tears flowed down her cheeks. "It was just supposed to be me, that was it. Shaw just wanted me and I made the decision to go with them and Mia and Harrison would be spared. But Gavin changed it up and they took them. I didn't know that was going to happen."
"Gab, what are you doing here?" Dom asked. Her head shot to him. "Why are you here?"
"Because Deckard Shaw is in prison and I got to finally come home."
They stood there again in silence just staring at each other. "I thought I was doing the right thing." She finally spoke. "I had good intentions in mind it just didn't go the way it was planned."
"How did you think this was going to go?" Dom asked. "Did you think that you can just come in here and everything would be perfect?"
"No." She whispered. "I thought that you might see past it just for a second and hold me because that is all that I have been thinking about since I left three years ago. I did it to protect you."
"I DON'T NEED PROTECTING!" Dom screamed. "I was the one who was protecting you. You didn't go to London with us because I was protecting you from any danger that could have happened. We lost Gisele. She died that day helping me."
"Please don't hate me." She sobbed as she covered her face. Her entire body shook as she felt Dom's arms come around her and lift her in the air. She threw her arms around his neck as she squeezed tighter. This was exactly what she wanted. She felt his body shake, knowing he was crying, but she didn't care. She was back with her family and nothing could destroy that moment right then.
Moments had past and Dom finally set her back on the ground as he wiped his face from the tears that had fallen. Brian moved over to her wrapping his arms around her and kissing her on the side of the cheek. "Where is everyone else at?"
"Mia is at the grocery store with Jack. Tej and Roman are lord only knows where. Letty should be in the house somewhere. We had just come out here to look a few things on the Charger when you walked up." Brian explained. "You clearly have a lot of explaining to do."
"I know I do. It's a really long story one I don't mind telling but I just need some time. I was with Shaw for a very long time."
"Excuse me?" Dom snapped. "You were with Shaw this entire time?"
She nodded her head. "I've been with Deckard Shaw for three years now. It goes back to San Diego when I owned the garage, a guy that was working for me, Jorge, well he was with Braga who then went to work for Owen. Owen told his brother about me who became fascinated, almost obsessed. I was to go to Shaw and you would be safe. Then you threw his brother out of a plane and plans changed. We were on our way back to you when Gavin turned the plane around and we went to London where I have been ever since."
They both were silent. "I was under complete surveillance for the first year. I had to gain his trust then I found out about Han." Her lip trembled. "I knew I had to do something, so I ran away. I called Hobbs and told him everything. Before you get mad at him he didn't know it was me up until recently. I made him swear that he wouldn't tell you, I didn't want you know. I didn't want you to get your hopes up that I might be coming home. I didn't think I would ever return her. I really did. Shaw is a powerful man. He is smart and he knew what he was doing."
"What happened to you over there?" Brian asked.
"What aren't you telling us?' Dom asked.
"I have missed you so much, I don't think you understand how much. I am so happy that I get to see your smiling faces right now." She cleared her throat. "Let's go inside and I will tell you everything."
She had excused herself to go to the bathroom before she sat down with them and explained what happened in the last two years of her life. She didn't want to tell them any part of it. It was going to make them mad, it was going to tear them a part but she knew what she had to do. She looked at herself in the mirror as she turned the water on and ran it over her hands before splashing it on her face. Her cell phone began to go off in her back pocket. She dried her hands before reaching back and putting it to her ear. "Hello?"
"Ms. Shaw? There is someone who would like to speak to you."
"Mama."
AN: Alright, so I don't know how I feel about this. But the goal is to set this up for me to write a new story based on Gabriella's time in London with Deckard Shaw. So let me know if you guys would like sort of a sequel to this story. But I have enjoyed writing this one. It has been a blast and I loved every minute of it. This is definitely one of my favorite stories that I have written and this last chapter has been a little bitch to write but I am satisfied with what I wrote and I hope you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you think and if you would read the story about Gabriella and Deckard. I also hope you like that little bit at the end there, give you a little something of what actually when down between the two before shit hit the fan in the 7th movie. REVIEW!
