FORTY-SEVEN
The team arrived back at Safar's garage safely despite the crazy events that happened at the Prince's party. "Ah! There they are. Disaster," Safar says as he sees Ramsey lead the team inside. "I'm sorry," Ramsey apologizes as they approached the distraught and unamused man. "I get you an invite to the most exclusive party in Abu Dhabi," Safar complains ignoring Ramsey, "You steal the host's car and you jump it between two buildings." Brian cleared his throat, "Actually, it was three buildings." Reyna stifled a laugh as she rested her head in Tej's shoulder to hide the smile on her face. "Oh! Two, insult. Three, honor. My bad," Safar responded.
"Well, well, well," Mr Nobody says as he enters the room, "I have to say, you've got an interesting interpretation there of low-key, Miss Roshani. You know, Reyna, I thought we had an understanding." Reyna stepped forward to talk directly to Mr Nobody, Benny stepped up next to her having worked with the mystery agent previously. "Sometimes you have to ay the hand you're dealt," Reyna tells him with a shrug as Benny nodded with a smile on his own face, he wasn't too impressed with their plan but he knew Reyna can look out for herself and the guys wouldn't let her get too hurt.
Mr Nobody winked at Reyna as he spoke, "That's why I prefer to be the dealer." Mr Nobody turned to Safar, "Good Night." Safar looked from the team to Mr Nobody before Sheppard motions for Safar to leave. "Ah! I'm being kicked out of my own garage. This is great," Safar says as he walks away leaving the team with the agent. "Uh, may I?" Mr Nobody asks Reyna as he extends a hand. "Brian, Give it to him," Dom orders before Brian walks over handing the chip to Mr Nobody who admired it straight away. "All that trouble for this little thing," Mr Nobody says with a chuckle.
Mr Nobody looked back up at Reyna, "With all due respect, Reyna, you really did great work back there. All of you. All of my men are now standing by and are fully at your disposal." Mr Nobody hands the chip to Reyna with a serious expression, "Your call." Reyna looks at the chip before thinking of Han and the rest of her family's safety. "Ramsey," Reyna says before handing her the chip, "Fire it up and find me Shaw." Ramsey walks over to where there is several computers and screens set up. "Oh, damn, this is crazy," Tej says as he looks around the set up while Reyna admired his look of wonder towards the tech.
Ramsey puts the chip in, "Alright, give me a second." Ramsey begins typing on a computer as everyone crowds around the screens. "What is it doing now?" Rome asks as a screen shows it zooming on a street. "It's hunting," Ramsey answers him, "Hacking into the security cameras ar Etihad Towers. That's the last place you saw Shaw, so that's where we'll start." They all watched until Shaw appeared on screen which Dom pointed out to Ramsey. "Wait, wait. What are these numbers for?" Tej asks as he points to the screen where numbers were flashing.
"It's bio-mapping Shaw's face, right?" Reyna asks Ramsey as she stepped forward admiring God's Eye. The team looked at Reyna impressed while Tej stared at his woman in pure awe due to her knowledge as Ramsey smiled up at Reyna, "Exactly. It'll run it against every camera. Every audio device in this hemisphere." A cell phone catches the car before it maps out where he is going. "Bingo. Looks like he's holed up here," Ramsey says as she points out his location. "That's perfect," Brians says as they see an automated factory, "Automated factory, no people, lots of places to hide." Reyna nodded in agreement as she began planning the next step.
Mr Nobody looked down at Ramsey, "You just changed the face of manhunts forever. Congratulations." Ramsey smiled proudly before looking at Reyna who smiled back at her. "Hey, can I check my emails real quick?" Rome asks causing everyone to give him the really look. "Dawn's up in two hours," Reyna announces gaining everyone's attention, "we're gonna go take down Shaw then. Go get changed." Everyone headed off to their own rooms to prepare while Reyna took in a deep breath as she changed into her gear before taking a moment to look at Tej who was currently on his computer.
She shook her head before heading out to the main room where Mr Nobody and Sheppard already were. "We should go now. Just you, your team and me," Reyna says as she hands Mr Nobody the tablet that had the chip in it. "I thought you said at dawn," Mr Nobody states confused. "My team, my family, are racers. The best drivers in the world but they ain't killers," Reyna explained to him. "Told you she'd say that," Brian says as he and Dom walk over with guns in their hands, "We know you too well and we're going with you." Reyna sighed as she looked at the two men she considered her brothers.
Mr Nobody looked between the three of them before focusing on Reyna, "Well, looks like we got a nice little hunting party. Let's go bag a shadow." Reyna picked up her gun and nodded before they headed out. "Ten klicks out, boys. Get ready to rock and roll," Sheppard says as he watches the map on the tablet. "Here we go. Weapond hot," Mr Nobody's team quickly takes the door off the building before leading the way inside. Mr Nobody follows them while Brian, Reyna and Dom stop at the door. "You ready for this?" Brian asks them, the two nod before they headed inside where they find Deckard sitting at a table eating casually.
"I hope you're enjoying your last meal," Brian taunts him as Reyna stepped forward with her gun raised at Deckard. "This is it?" Deckard says as he looks around the room, "This is all I warrant? A dozen men and a woman?" Reyna scoffed at Deckard as he focused his attention on her. "I think you'll find it's more than enough," Mr Nobody says as Deckard wipes his mouth with a napkin before pulling the pin from the grenade hidden in the napkin with his teeth. Deckard sits the napkin down showing the grenade to everyone, Mr Nobody's team take cover while Reyna walks towards Deckard without an ounce of fear in her body.
She stood tall as she glared at Deckard, "I'm ready to meet my maker. Are you?" Deckard looked up with a taunting smile, "What were you expecting, Roshani? To catch me off guard? Me standing here waving a white flag? You ever heard of the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?" Reyna smirked at Deckard, "I don't have friends, I got family." Deckard sighed with a shrug, "Well, I got a lot of friends." The lights went off and the door in front of then explodes. Jakande and his men rush in shooting at Mr Nobody's men and the three racers who quickly duck for cover.
Jakande shoots Sheppard who drops the tablet containing God's Eye. Mr Nobody puts on night vision glasses before shooting several of Jakande's men until he is shot by the same man that Brian fought in the bus when they saved Ramsey. Mr Nobody turns, making eye contact with Dominic before winking at him. The man shoots Mr Nobody again causing him to fall before Brian and Dom start shooting the man. Dom quickly pulls Mr Nobody away from the gun fire while Brian attempted to reach for the tablet only to flinch away due to the gun fire.
Reyna shoots down a couple of Jakande's men before looking at Brian, "Leave it!" Reyna followed behind Dom who was dragging Mr Nobody away. Deckard threw the grenade in their direction causing Brian to shout, "Get down!" Brian followed behind Dom and Reyna. Once they got out the door, Dom picks Mr Nobody up on his shoulders before placing him in the back seat of a car while Brian gets into the driver seat. Reyna quickly got in beside Mr Nobody before Brian took off away from the fight, Reyna's attention focused completely on the agent seated next to her.
Reyna ripped open Mr Nobody's shirt to find a bullet proof vest. "You didn't think I was gonna walk in there naked, did you?" Mr Nobody asks her as he notices the shocked yet relieved expression on her face. "You got hit bad," Reyna says as she sees a spot where the vest didn't protect Mr Nobody. "Look, Roshani," Mr Nobody says gaining Reyna's attention, "I know you won't listen to me. You're gonna want to hear what I have to say." Reyna furrowed her brows as he continued, "But the truth is, you really ought to try that Belgian Ale. It's something special." Reyna chuckled lightly, "Belgian Ale, huh?"
Mr Nobody began to laugh before he began coughing in pain. "Hey, we got to get you to a hospital," Dom says as he looks back. "No, you're not," Mr Nobody tells him, "I carry my own health insurance." He pulled out his phone, "SOCM medics on standby. Pull over, kid." Brian pulls over before Dom and Reyna helped Mr Nobody out of the car and onto the side of the road. "Rey," Mr Nobody stopped her, "You gotta protect Ramsey. As long as she's alive, she can lock them out of God's Eye and they know that." Mr Nobody took a steady but painful breath.
He focused his attention on Reyna rather than the pain, "That means they're not gonna stop coming until they've got her. And this time, when they come, they're gonna come with everything they've got." Reyna let out a steady breath, "I'm not leaving you." Mr Nobody smiled knowing this was acceptance into their family. "You're not. I'm leaving you," Mr Nobody tells her before they see a helicopter approaching in the distance, "Go now, Rey." Reyna and Dom get back into the car before taking off back to the others. "A war is coming to us whether we like it or not," Reyna explains as Brian drives, "If a war is coming, we're gonna face them on the streets we know best."

LOSE ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
The family all stood together above the city of Los Angeles, their home. The beaming sun was shining down on them as they relaxed for a moment. Reyna Roshani stood in the middle with Tej on her left and Brian on her right. Ramsey stood on the other side of Tej with Benny standing beside her while Dom stood on the other side of Brian with Letty beside him and Rome stood beside Benny. Reyna stood with the hope that Gisele and Han were stood together on the other side of Letty with smiles on their faces, proud of their family.
"I'm all for winging it, but this is crazy, man," Rome complains as the team looks out at the city of Los Angeles, "We got mercenaries with some real heat on us. I mean, I ain't scared or nothing, but... Man, I don't even have a gun!" Reyna shook her head as she leaned into Tej, his arm resting around her shoulders while her arm rested around his torso. "Gun?" Dom asks as he looks at Rome, "We got a whole city." Reyna nodded at Rome who looked unsure about that. "And we may have more than that. If they use God's Eye, it'll tap the cameras around the town to find our location, which means we could plant a virus," Tej explains.
Ramsey to nodded in agreement, "And then break in when they access it. So you're talking about hacking my hacking device. It's brilliant." Benny nodded in agreement as he stood next to Ramsey, which Reyna had noticed a spark between the two after the Prince's party. "Yeah, but there's one problem," Tej says with a sigh, "The signal strength. We can't start a hack on them until they're within a two mile range." Letty turned to look at Tej, "That's really close." Rome looked at Letty, "Close? These guys are military. If they're within two miles of us, we're already dead. I don't know about y'all but I didn't really plan on dying today." Reyna shared a look with Brian before the two of them looked at Rome.
"Only one way to stay alive," Brian suggests, "We play keep away with Ramsey." Reyna nodded as Ramsey looked at Brian, "What?" Brian looked from Ramsey to Reyna and Dom, "They can't hit us if we keep moving." Reyna nodded before she let go off Tej and stepped forward looking down at the city, "And I'll take Shaw." Tej let out a breath before turning his gaze from Reyna to Brian, "So, basically, we're just gearing up for a big game of hot potato, huh?" Ramsey looked at Tej confused, "Which car is the potato?" Rome shook his head as he looks at her, "Girl, you're the potato."
•┈┈┈••✦🚘✦••┈┈┈•
Reyna leaned against Tej's car as he finished talking to Brian before making his way over to her. "Tej... Look, with what's about to go down... I need you to know--" Tej cut her off by kissing her before pulling away, "Listen to me, Reyna. We are all gonna pull through this because we have one thing that Shaw doesn't... You." Reyna smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck while he continued, "And we are gonna get God's Eye back, you will take Shaw down and we'll all walk away from this and finally live our lives, racing and Sunday barbecues." Reyna smiled as her eyes began to water.
Tej cupped her face carefully, "I love you, Reyna Roshani. So damn much. So you gotta come back to me 'cause..." Tej stepped back leaving Reyna slightly confused until he reached into his pocket and got down on one knee gaining everyone's attention. "Reyna Roshani, you are the love of my life. From the first moment I saw you in Miami, I knew that you were the one for me and despite all that time apart, I knew you and I would be together someday. And not knowing how today might end is mildly terrifying but I know I can't wait any longer. So, Reyna Roshani, will you marry me?"
Reyna covered her mouth as she let out a happy sob before nodding, "Yes... Oh God, yes." Tej stood up and kissed her as their family cheered happily. Once Tej pulled away, he slipped the gorgeous engagement ring onto her finger before kissing her hand then kissing her again. Everyone walked over to congratulate the newly engaged couple, hugs were shared and smiles rested on everyone's faces despite the challenge they were about to face. They cherished this moment deeply because the moment they drive off, war had begun.
