FORTY-TWO

Reyna ordered Dom, Benny, Brian, Jack and Mia to leave the country as soon as possible before she received a call from Elena telling her that Hobbs was currently in hospital. "Shattered his collarbone, fractured his leg in two places," Elena explains to Reyna as she leads her to Hobbs' room, "He only regained consciousness this morning. The first thing he said was "Get me Roshani". He's in here." They walk into the room to find Hobbs watching tv as Elena handed him some files.

Reyna looked up at Hobbs as she crossed her arms against her chest, "You risk life and limb to save the free world and what do they did you? Jell-O and a bad 79's show." They both looked up at the TV to see Hulk come on screen making the two chuckle. "You know it's got it's perks," Hobbs tells her, "Sponge baths ain't that bad." Reyna rolled her eyes as another voice caught her attention, "Dad!" Reyna looked over to see Jessie and Hobbs' daughter Samantha. "I'm sorry, baby. Honey, I want to introduce you to somebody. She's a, uh... she's an old friend. Go on and say hello," Hobbs formally introduces them.

Reyna smiled at the girl as Sam looked at her, "You're Reyna Roshani, right?" Reyna nodded at her as Sam approached her, "My dad said he kicked your brother's ass once." Reyna laughed as Hobbs told her off for her language before Reyna raised her brows at Hobbs who shrugged. "Your dad's on heavy pain meds," Reyna says making Hobbs chuckle, "I can understand if his history is a little hazy since it was an equal fight till I stepped in." Reyna sighed as she looked at Hobbs remembering how she almost slammed a wrench into his face, Dom really was an influence on the younger girl.

"I doubt it," Sam retorts causing Reyna to smile at the young girl sticking up for her dad. "All right, honey. That's enough," Hobbs scolds the young girl as Reyna winked at her, "I want you to go get something to eat with Elena and Jessie while me and Roshani have a talk. You hear me." Jessie kissed Hobbs' cheek then hugged Reyna before following behind Elena and Sam. "Who did this?" Reyna asks as she turned to Hobbs with a stern look on her face and eyes burning of fury.

Hobbs recognized the determined look in her eyes and knew she wouldn't be backing down from this fight anytime soon. "You remember Owen Shaw?" Hobbs asks her back, "The one we tore half of London down trying to get." Reyna nodded at his words as he continued, "Well, this is big bad brother. Take a look at this." Hobbs hands Reyna the files who takes them before flipping open the page. She took a breath to relax herself as she read the file, "Deckard Shaw."

"British Special Forces assassin," Hobbs explains, "The kind of unique asset that no government would ever admit to employing." Reyna sighed understanding what he was talking about, "Black Ops Boys." She looked up at Hobbs as he corrected her, "Worse. They created a monster." She nodded for him to continue, "They felt Shaw was a necessary evil until eventually they decided he was unnecessary. The powers felt that he knew too much, the asset became a liability. So they sent in twenty elite operatives to retire him."

Reyna sighed, "And they missed." Reyna closed the file and placed it on the bed before sitting down in the chair, running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself. "That was six years ago and Shaw's been a ghost ever since," Hobbs says in agreement as he watched her closely. "Until now," Reyna says before she looks up at him, "How do I find him?" They made full eye contact, that same burning determination increasing as she learnt more information. "The official answer is, you don't," Hobbs tells her.

Reyna shook her head, "He killed Han. Almost killed my family." Hobbs interrupted her, "He also tried to put me in a body bag too. Which is why when I get out, I'm gonna put a hurt on him so bad he's gonna wish his mama had kept her legs closed. But until then, my offical answer to you is stand down." Reyna looked him in the eyes, "You know I can't do that." Hobbs nodded, "I do know you, Reyna. Which is why now I give you the friend to friend answer. You do whatever it is you gotta do. When you find that son of a bitch, just do me one favour."

She furrowed her brows, "What's that?" He smirked at her, "Don't miss." She nodded with a smirk of her own before getting up and walking to the door. "Hey Roshani," Hobbs calls, she turned to him with a nod, "You got a family, remember that while you're out there." She smiled at him before turning and walking out of the room with a steady breath as she thought back to the last fight and how close to death they all were. They've lost so many people over the years and never did she think that Han would be one of them this early, she lost a brother and that's something a 'sorry' can't fix.

MONTE CRISTI, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

"Thank you for letting us stay, Mando," Dom says as they walk through the garden, "I hope it's not a problem." Mando shook his head at Dom. "Listen, you and Rey needed a safe delivered to Rio in two days. That was a problem. Hosting your family in the Dominican Republic, this is vacation," Mando explains to him, "Anyone messes with you here, they mess with the entire country. You'll be safe." Mando's phone begins to ring before he answered talking to the other person before holding it out to Dom, "It's Reyna."

Dom grabs the phone and holds it to his ear, "Hey Rey." She sighed, "Hey Dom, how's it going there?" He looked around the garden as he walked away from the others, "We're at Mando's. This place is like a fortress. You should see Brian, he's in full FBI mode." Reyna laughed through the phone not all that surprised as Dom continued, "He built a surveillance hub in Mando's garage and everything. Damn, Buster. What about you? Did you find out who's after us?" Reyna looked down as she leaned against her car, "Looks like the sins of London have followed us home. How did Buster take the news?"

Dom looked up at Mia as she spoke with Mando, a smile resting on her face as he made the woman laugh. "She didn't tell him," Dom tells her making her shake her head, "She says, If he knew about the baby, he'd stay here. And with all that's going on, we're gonna need him by our side. We'll keep him safe... And come home together." Reyna let a tear fall as she swallowed the lump in her throat, "All right. Tell Brian I'll see you both in LA in two days."

Dom furrowed his brows, "Wait, Where are you going?" Reyna looked up as she blinked away the tears in her eyes, "Tokyo." She stood up straight pulling out a duffel bag, "I'm bringing Han home."

TOKYO, JAPAN

"Hey, yo, Sean!" Twinkie calls as he walks over to Sean, "Hey, check this out, man. This girl over here wants to race the new DK." Sean turned away from his girl to his best friend, "Not tonight, Twinkie." Twinkie looked from the area he came from to Sean, "Said she knew Han. She said Han was family." Sean looked at Twinkie his smile faltering before nodding, "Alright, let's race." Sean pulls up next to Reyna at the starting line before checking out her car, "Nice ride."

She turned to Sean with a smile, "I won it from our friend Han a few years ago." Sean smiled at her, "I didn't know that he was into American Muscle." Reyna looked forward as she gripped the steering wheel, "He was back then." Sean nodded as he looked at her, "You know, this ain't no ten second race?" Reyna smirked as she turned to look at him, "I got nothing but time." She revved the engine of the car, "You ready, kid?"

Sean's girlfriend walks between the two cars before pointing to a girl on the right. "Ready!" The girl on the right says before Sean's girl points to a girl on the left, "Seto!" Then Sean's girl looks at the two racers, "Go!" The two cars take off, Sean watched as Reyna drifted the corners perfectly making him smile. Reyna wins the race before she and Sean find a place to talk, Reyna's heart was pumping with adrenaline as the last time she was in Tokyo, she was racing Han winning the title DQ.

Sean leaned against the railing behind him as he looked up at the girl, "Han said you was fast, but not that fast. Especially your drifting, better than Han." Reyna shook her head, "No one was a better drifter than Han. And besides, who said American Muscle can't drift?" Sean nodded in agreement as they stood silent for a moment. "Han mentioned that he left his enemies in his rear view," Sean says as he looks at Reyna, "He never talked about it much."

Reyna nodded before looking out to Tokyo, she understood that. Han has lost a lot over the years and it was painful for him to lose Gisele, he had managed to move on and start new but Reyna had pulled him back into the fight and now he was gone. "Always playing it close to the vest," Reyna says as she looks down. "We found a couple things by the crash," Sean says as he pulls out a bag, "Wasn't much left." Sean handed her a smaller bag which contained a picture of Gisele and a woven bracelet Reyna had given him.

"Gisele," Reyna whispered as she sat on the hood of her car looking down at the photo in her hands. "Oh, yeah. There's one more thing. I found this," Sean says as he reaches into the bag before holding out a necklace to Reyna, she recognized it instantly as Dom and Letty's necklace. "Must have meant something to him," Sean says as Reyna grabbed the necklace knowing it was a message, "When you find the guy that killed Han, what are you going to do?" Reyna looked up at Sean, "Words ain't even been invented yet. But he'll pay."

LOS ANGELES

Brian stands beside Tej and Rome as Reyna and Dominic walk up to Han's casket. "They say to live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die," Dom says as Reyna places Gisele's photo on the casket. "But he put you in this grave. So now, I'll do the same to him," Reyna says before she and Dom touch their head and chest in a cross motion, Reyna fiddled with the woven bracelet on her wrist. "I can't do no more funerals," Rome says as he, Brian and Tej watch. "First Han. Now Hobbs is laid up, of all people," Tej says as he keeps his eyes on Reyna, "We're being hunted."

Reyna looks over to see a car slowly driving through the cemetery, she narrowed her eyes on it as it taunted her. "You know he's out there somewhere watching, right?" Tej says as Brian noticed Reyna's attention elsewhere as he spoke, "I hope so. Mean's he's close." Rome turns to Brian, "Just promise me, Brian. No more funerals." Brian stands tall as Reyna walks over to her car, "Just one more..." Tej looked over at Reyna letting out a shaky breath knowing she's on edge as Brian spoke, "His."

Reyna takes off chasing the car out of the cemetery. They weave in and out of traffic before going into an underground parking lot, facing one another. They both rev their engined until their tires start to spin out, Reyna takes off towards Deckard before the two cars collide. Deckard cracks his neck, taking in a deep breath before getting out of his car while Reyna climbs out of the passenger side of her car before pulling out a sledgehammer. "You never should have messed with a man's family," Deckard says as he glares at the woman.

Reyna smirked up at him as she popped her shoulder back into place, "That's funny. I told your brother the same thing." She looked over at the two cars, "Reinforced your chassis. It's like going into the ring with weighted gloves." Deckard interrupted her, "Your mistake. I'm not here to play games. See, you and me, we're from different worlds. Trust me, I've seen a lot meaner streets than the ones your used to, darling." Reyna rolled her eyes, "Stick around. It's gonna get a lot meaner."

Deckard scoffed as he pulled out his gun, "You thought this was gonna be a street fight?" Another voice interjected, "Your mistake is thinking she was alone." Dom pointed a gun at Deckard after he entered through the back entrance. Gunfire starts raining towards Deckard before men drop down from ropes causing Deckard to run as cars pull in surrounding Dom and Reyna. "On the ground," A soldier demanded, "Now!" Reyna hits the soldier in the stomach with the sledgehammer before knocking the gun out of the way, putting another soldier into a headlock.

"Whoa, whoa! Easy, guys," A man in a suit says as he walks over, "We're on the same team here. Miss Roshani, I'm here on the recommendation of a mutual friend of ours. Mr Hobbs. And let's not forget, your brother Benjamin was working for me taking down Owen Shaw." Dom and Reyna shared a glance before Dom looked back at the man, "Who the hell are you?" The man looked at Dom, "Me? I'm just a guy. I'm Mr Nobody." Reyna looked up at Mr Nobody, "It's a big entrance for a nobody. And the guy that put our mutual friend in the hospital? You just let him get away."

Mr Nobody smirked at the brunette, "I think I might have just saved your ass, Reyna." Reyna tightened her hold on the soldier gaining Mr Nobody's attention on him, "Listen, you think you could let go of my guy there? He's beginning to turn a little blue." Reyna rolls her eyes before shoving the soldier to the ground as Mr Nobody smiled, "I appreciate that." Sirens can be heard in the distance. "Ah, here they come. Listen, Reyna, Dom. There's a war going on between shadows and ghosts like me."

Reyna looked at Dom as she stood next to him before looking back at Mr Nobody as he continued, "You and your team unwittingly walked into the middle of it in London and it appears it's followed you home. It's up to you." Reyna crossed her arms against her chest as Mr Nobody shrugged casually, "I'm gonna have a beer. You're welcome to join me." He turned away from them taking a few steps before looking back at them with a fake innocent smile, "By the way, I can get you Deckard Shaw."
