She's A Toretto

8.1

Two days later Dixie pulls up at the gate to race wars, having finished her last exam for the semester.
"How's it going, bro?" Dixie asks the guy at the gate.
"Welcome to Race Wars, Toretto," The guy tells Dixie as he hands her a bracelet.
"Great. Thanks a lot, man," Dixie says before getting in line to race. Someone writes 424 on her back mirror as she is waiting in line. She is the next up to race so she starts checking on everything in her car.
"Baby. Hey, baby," The guy she is racing says. "You should watch from the sidelines. I wouldn't want to get exhaust on that pretty face."
"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," Dixie tells him as she slides her sunglasses down to look at him.
"I'll race you for that sweet little ass," The guy says causing her to roll her eyes.
"You want ass, why don't you hit Hollywood Boulevard? You want an adrenaline rush, it'll be two large. Right here. Right now. What's it gonna be?" Dixie says before showing the money.
"You got it," The guy says as he shows his own money. They pull up to the starting line. Dixie looks at the guy to find him making kissy faces at her. She rolls her eyes, before she slides her sunglasses up as she gets ready to go. They are side by side as they take off. About half way through Dixie hits her NOS. Dixie collects her money before going over to where the team is.
"Nice job," Letty tells her as they hug.
"You too," Dixie says seeing as Letty had won her race as well.
"Yo! Heads up, bro. We got problems," Leon says as he runs over.
"What?" Dom asks.
"Jesse," Leon answers him as he points to the Jetta.
"Where's Jesse going?" Dixie asks as she watches the Jetta, worriedly.
"He just raced Tran for slips," Leon answers her causing her to frown.
"Oh, shit," Dom says before Tran drives over to them.
"Where's he going?" Tran asks as he gets out of the car.
"He went to the car wash," Dom lies as Dixie crosses her arms.
"Whatever. Go fetch my car," Tran orders Dom causing Dixie to glare at him.
"Go fetch your car? We're not on your block anymore. You better watch who you talk to like that," Dom tells him before walking back over to the others.
"Toretto! SWAT came into my house disrespected my whole family, because somebody narked me out," Tran yells as Tran's guys start walking over.
"And you know what? It was you!" Dom punches Tran in the face sending him to the ground and then keeps punching him. Leon pushes some of Tran's guys back while Dixie punches Lance in the face sending him to the ground. Vince goes to help the security guard get Dom off of Tran.
"Get off of him, man. Dom, chill out, man. Come on!" Vince yells as he pulls Dom off of Tran.
"I never narked on nobody! I never narked on nobody!" Dom yells as Vince pulls him away before Letty and Dixie follow them to the trailer while Brian gets stuck in the crowd.

That night Letty, Leon, Vince, Dixie, and Dom are getting ready to leave to take a truck when Mia comes over and starts arguing with Dom. Dixie is leaning against the car as they argue, having a bad feeling about this truck.
"I have respected you and I haven't said shit. Now I am asking you not to go," Mia says as she looks between her siblings.
"I'm doing this for all of us," Dom tells her as he looks at his siblings.
"Don't give me that crap. You're doing this for you. Why are you insisting on doing this? Dom, please, just don't," Mia says before they get into the cars and leave.

"Mia, what's going on?" Brian asks as he catches up to her having seen the argument from inside the trailer.
"What?" Mia asks him confused.
"You know what I'm talking about," Brian tells her as he worries about Dixie, not thinking she would be a part of this.
"No, I don't," Mia argues with him, staying loyal to her family.
"You always have tears in your eyes when Dom drives away?" Brian asks her causing her to glance at him.
"What's the matter with you?" She asks him confused.
"What's he racing off in the middle of the night for? You know about the trucks?" Brian asks her as his worry for Dixie grows.
"No, Brian! What trucks? Jesus Christ. What?" Mia says before Brian pulls her to a stop.
"Listen to me. Mia, I'm a cop," Brian says as he decides to blow his cover for the sake of the Toretto family.
"What are you talking about, Brian? What is this?" Mia questions him confused and hurt.
"Ever since the first time I met you, I've been undercover. I'm a cop," Brian tells her the truth.
"Oh, you bastard. You bastard," Mia says before walking away.
"Mia," Brian says as he tries to get her to stop.
"Get off of me, Brian!" Mia says as she hits his arms.
"Mia! Listen to me! Everything I ever said I felt about you was I lie and for that I am truly sorry. I used you but I fell for Dixie. I swear to God. You have to believe me, Mia. But this isn't about her or you and me. Your brother and sister are out there about to pull a job. We're running out of time. Those truckers aren't laying down anymore. Maybe they'll make it through tonight, but every law enforcement agency is coming down on them. If you don't want anything to happen to your brother, to Letty, to Dixie, to Vince, to Leon, you have to get in that car with me right now and help me. Mia, you are the only person that can help me right now. Please, Mia. Please help me," Brian explains to her as his worry comes out. Mia agrees for the sake of her family.

"Civics are stashed somewhere outside of Thermal," Mia says as she looks at the map.
"They wouldn't double back, and Highway 10 is too well patrolled. So, what does that leave us with?" Brian says as he breaks it down.
"All this," Mia says as she looks at the map. Brian then gets out his phone and calls Nextel.
"This is Officer Brian O'Conner. Serial number 34762. I need a cell phone trace," Brian says causing Mia to glance at him in shock at his name reveal.
"Okay. What's the cell number?" The lady asks.
"Mia, what is Dom's or Dixie's number?" Brian asks as he looks at Mia. "Come on, Mia. She needs a cell phone number now." Brian hands her the phone.
"323-555-6439" Mia says as she gives Dixie's number.
"Thank you. Yeah, you get that?" Brian asks before they say they will call him back.

"All right, we're one man short," Dom says as he takes the covers off of the civics. "Letty and Dot, I need you on the left side."
"Your sister's right about this one. This don't feel good," Leon says as he brings the harpoon gun to Dom.
"Don't do that," Dom tells him.
"Something's wrong," Letty tells him as she brings over the other gun.
"Stop," Dom says as he looks at them.
"We shouldn't be doing this without Jesse," Dixie says in hopes he will change his mind.
"Look. This is the mother load. We've been on this for three months. After this, it's a long vacation for everyone. Let's go," Dom says as he looks at all of them.
"I hope so," Leon says before going to get in his car. Vince walks over to Dixie while Letty walks over to Dom.
"Listen, the other night I had a dream that you and I were on the beach in Mexico," Vince tells her with a smile.
"Really?" Dixie asks him with a smile before she chuckles. "Or was it actually Mia?" Vince looks at her shocked. "It was never going to be me Vince when you have always loved my sister." Vince let's out a sigh, knowing that she is right.
"I do love you, Dixie just not like that," Vince tells her truthfully.
"I know because it's the same for me," Dixie tells him with a smile as she nods. Vince pulls her into a hug before kissing her head.
"Come on. Let's make this happen," Dixie tells him before she looks at her brother.
"Leon, keep on those scanners," Dom says as he walks over to his car before looking at Dixie, giving her a nod.
"Copy that," Leon says.
"All right, let's go," Dom says before they get in the cars and take off.
