THIRTY-FIVE

Reyna walked into the room with tears flowing down her face, everyone turned to her with stunned expressions. Tej jogged over to her and pulled her into his embrace as Hobbs walked in behind her with a pained expression. "He's alive... and he remembers me," Reyna says as she melted into Tej's embrace letting herself break down completely. Brian looked down before stepping away, pulling out his phone before dialling Mia's number. "Mia... Uh, it's definitely Letty and Benny. But it's, uh... it's complicated." He sighed as he looked over at Reyna who finally calmed down from the sobs.

Mia let out a breath of relief, "They're alive. That's all that matters." She looks down at Jack with a smile, "We have them back, Brian." Brian nodded looking at Dom as he got out supplies to remove the bullet from his shoulder. "Well, do me a favour and give Jack a kiss goodnight for me," Brian says with a small smile. "Be safe," Mia tells him. "I love you, Mia," Brian says before hanging up and walking over to Dom, "She definitely saw that it was you?" Dom looked up at Brian.

Reyna made her way over to them after noticing the bullet wound in Dom's shoulder. "She looked dead at me, Brian," Dom answers him with a frown causing Reyna to furrow her brows. "Maybe the Letty we once knew is gone, Dom," Brian says as he looks down, "Even though she's alive, maybe she's gone." Reyna shook her head, "You don't turn your back on family, even when they do. Benny knew it was me, he said that I shouldn't be here. He has to be here for a reason and I'm gonna find out." Dom nodded in agreement as a new wave of determination hit the two leaders.

"All right, lock it up. We got two things," Hobbs says as everyone walks towards each other. "First off, this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime. They got street cameras on every street corner. I got video footage from CCTV of the raid. Let's track that, see where it leads us." Hobbs hands a chip to Tej who was standing next to Reyna with his arm around her waist. Ever since she had confronted her brother, he wouldn't let her out of his sight in case she needed him.

Hobbs continued, "And secondly, we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol." Reyna stood up straight with her full attention on Hobbs as he continued, "They ripped off the database of every location that houses the final compartment that they need." Reyna sighed as she glanced at Dom who spoke up, "So where are they at?" Riley crossed her arms against her chest, "There are over two dozen of them around Europe." Reyna looked down as she focused on her brother's words trying to work out exactly what he meant.

Hobbs' voice pulled Reyna from her trance, "But the list is only good for ninety-six hours. Which means, wherever Shaw's crew is going to hit next it's going to happen within the next four days. They got a window and so do we. We gotta move." Reyna nodded as she looked around at everyone, "Hobbs is right. So let's break this down. You met them, what do we know?" Reyna stood tall fitting in the leader role perfectly bringing proud smiles to Dom and Brian's faces.

"We know they have to be running custom engines," Tej starts, "You heard the flip car going through those gears." Reyna nodded in agreement. "Sequential transmission," Han adds as he looks from Tej to Reyna. "That didn't sound like a normal engine," Gisele says as she looks from Dominic to Reyna. "That was a turbo diesel," Rome adds as Brian nods, "It sounded like something you hear at Le Mans." Hobbs was impressed watching as the team communicated well together though Riley had a slight glare towards Reyna.

"Did you see it take all those hits and still stay flat in the corners?" Tej asks everyone. "Yeah, hydraulics," Rome answers him. "Or magnetic suspension," Brian suggests as Reyna noticed the impressed expression on Hobbs' face making her smile proudly at her team, her family. "Who not only had access to the components but can fabricate something like that?" Han asks the one question they all needed an answer to. "Maybe a handful of shops in London," Gisele answers him with a sigh.

Reyna shook her head, "Regular tuner shops aren't going to cut it on this one." She looked around at everyone, "We're going to have to dig deeper than that. Han, Gisele, Roman, you're up. We find the guy who made that car, we find Shaw." They nodded at their orders. "Let's go," Gisele says as she loads a gun, the two men followed behind her. "I'll help," Riley tells Hobbs before they all left the room. "Tej, we're gonna need cars without computer chips that can be overridden," Reyna tells him as she turns her head to him, "Make sure they're fast."

Brian lets out a chuckle as Tej nods with a smirk, "I got this." He leaned in and kissed her cheek before removing his arm from her waist. "I'm already on it, Reyna. I've contact R&D at DSS," Hobbs says as he looks at her. "Hobbs," Tej says interrupting him, "I said I got this." Hobbs looks at Tej stunned making Reyna chuckle slightly as Tej stepped away. "Hobbs," Reyna says catching his attention, "I don't trust Riley." Hobbs shook his head, "You don't have to trust us-"

Reyna interrupted him, "No, I trust you completely. But I don't trust Riley, something is off about her. Just sayin'." Reyna walked over to Brian and Dom leaving Hobbs shocked, he didn't expect her to trust him but he genuinely respected that she did. Reyna let out a breath as she looked up at Dom and Brian. "So Letty shot you... And Benny told me that I shouldn't be here and that I needed to leave," Reyna tells them making them both share a glance, they were all clueless but they had a code; Family. And you don't turn your back on family, even when they do.

Reyna was standing by the window when Brian approached her, "Dom and I went to the pawnshop." She turned her head to him, "And how'd that go?" He sighed, "Well besides kicking some ass... Letty and Benny had been in there buying guns and ammo." She let out a breath as the sound of a car caught their attention making them look over to see Tej climb out of a Dodge Charger Daytona with a smirk, "A car for my lady."

Reyna laughed before making her way over to him, "That car is beautiful. You bought all of them, didn't you?" Hobbs walked over with a smirk before explaining everything that had happened at the car show. "This is a duo I regret not seeing in action," Dominic says after they finished their story. "Nice one, guys," Reyna says before she heard footsteps causing her to turn her head and see Han, Rome, Gisele and Riley walk back in looking like a mess.

"What the hell happened?" Brian asks before they all met in the middle of the room to find out what happened. "We met Dom's girlfriend," Riley answers as she walks towards Hobbs, "She's lovely." Hobbs looked at her, "Are you all right?" Riley nodded at him. "Tej, what have you got? Footage, CCTV? Talk to me," Hobbs says as he turns to Tej. "I went through all of it. Believe it or not, everywhere Shaw's team is, the cameras are down," Tej explains as Reyna looks between him and Hobbs.

Hobbs stood up tall, "That's a hell of a coincidence." Hobbs crossed his arms in front of his chest, "All right, we're going to pay CCTV a little visit. Let's roll." Hobbs and Riley made their way out of the room leaving the rest of the team to either relax or work on small things. "What is that?" Tej asks as he walks over to Han who had laid a harpoon gun on the table. "This is a new toy for you," Han answers him with a smirk making Tej smile as he looked at the weapon.

Reyna looked up at Han, "So, what happened?" She looked around at the team before Han answered her question, "Shaw's goons showed up and started shooting up the place." Reyna nodded at his words. "But we got something big," Gisele says as she walks over with a cellphone in her hand. "What?" Dom asks her while Gisele seemed worried. "Braga," Gisele tells him causing Rey and Dom to look straight at Brian, "He's working with Shaw."

Brian looked down before looking back at her, "What the hell are you talking about?" Han nodded, "It's true. That phone's filled with coded payment transactions that lead straight to Braga's Cartel." Reyna took a deep breath knowing this situation could fall apart quickly. "Who the hell is Braga?" Rome asks as he looks at everyone. "He ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico," Reyna answers him before looking over at Brian sympathetically.

"And my old boss," Gisele adds, "We used codes just like that to move money out of the country." Brian nodded, "It all makes sense. Braga was running Letty, now he's working with Shaw. It would explain how the two of them met." Brian's expression morphed to one of guilt and Reyna's eyes softened at the sight of it. She knew Brian had taken all of the blame for what had happened to Letty but she knew Dom didn't blame him for it, not like he initially did.

Tej, who turned his focus away from Reyna, looked at Brian and Gisele. "Okay, so you know all this information about him, where do we find him?" Tej asks as Reyna, Dom and Brian shared a knowing glance. "He's sitting in a prison in Los Angeles," Brian answers him as he starts walking around trying to relax. "How do you know that?" Tej asks him causing Brian to sigh as Reyna crossed her arms to answer, "Brian put him there, with our help." She pointed from Dom to Gisele then herself.

Brian nodded before approaching them again, "All right, so this was the break we were looking for." Reyna raised her brows at him as he continued, "If the two of them were working together, Braga will know what Shaw's up to. I'm going to pay him a visit." Reyna let out a sigh as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Are you serious right now?" Rome asks him incredulously, "Think about what you're saying. You're wanted, Brian. The moment you step foot off that plane, it's a wrap. You're not coming back."

Reyna could see the determination in his eyes, they wouldn't convince him otherwise because he needed answers and if there was one thing she knew about Brian O'Connor, he won't back down. "Coming back? How are you going to get in the country?" Tej questions him as Reyna smirks knowing who Brian's contact would be. "Let me worry about that," Brian answers him before walking to stand in front of Reyna and Dominic, "This is on me. I'm the one that served her up to Braga. I'm the one that gets to make it right. Let me make it right."

Reyna and Dom looked at each other, Rey nodded to Dom allowing him to make that final decision. "Be careful," Dom tells Brian who nods back before walking away to make a call. "He really does belong in this family, huh?" Reyna says to Dominic making him smile. "I'm proud of how far you've come, Rey. You're a great leader," Dom tells Reyna making her smile proudly as she looked around at the team. "A leader is only as good as their team, without them, none of this would work. Our family," Reyna tells him before they split off to separate tasks.

•┈┈┈••✦🚘✦••┈┈┈•

Meanwhile, Hobbs and Riley have reached their destination to look into the CCTV footage that happened to be missing whenever Shaw's team would come into view. Hobbs couldn't help but think about what Reyna had mentioned about Riley, he knew that he should trust Riley but Reyna was usually good at reading people, that much he knew. "He's ready to see you now. Right this way," A woman tells Hobbs and Riley before leading them into a room.

"Thank you for seeing us. I won't take up too much of your time," Hobbs tells the man who stands to greet them, "My men were attacked earlier today. I'm going to need to see all cameras in and around Waterloo Station." The man smirked, "Will somebody tell Captain America here that requires clearance?" The man looked around at the others in the room as Riley pulls out the papers showing their clearance. "Terry, bring up cameras fifty-eight through sixty-two, earlier today," The man spoke as Hobbs stood tall, the man handed the paperwork back before the screens behind him start going black.

Terry turns to the man, "They've been down for maintenance all morning." The man shrugged, "Sorry." Hobbs clenched his jaw. "Okay. Well, we appreciate your help. Thank you," Hobbs says before shaking the man's hand. Hobbs stops shaking his hand as he grips it tighter causing the knuckle to pop, "You know what I find very interesting is Interpol was attacked recently as well. Those cameras were down too. Didn't catch a thing. Nothing. Now, that means either your maintenance schedule lined up perfectly with their escape route or it's someone here that's working with them."

The man gritted his teeth in pain as Hobbs never loosened the hold while he spoke, "And that's just ridiculous. Because there ain't no way in hell that anybody here would be working for them. Particularly you, ain't that right?" The man nods as he struggles to speak from the pain, "No, no, that's ridiculous." Hobbs smiles kindly, "That is ridiculous. I'm going to need direct access to your live fee citywide. And I also strongly suggest that you put a hold on any more maintenance." The man nodded eagerly, "Yeah, of course." Hobbs smirked, "We appreciate your help. Thank you so much." He let go of the man's hand before making his way out, ready to tell Reyna about what happened.
