14.8
NEW YORK CITY
"Welcome to our new base of operations," Little Nobody says as he stands in front of two big doors with the team behind him, minus Anneliese.
"No, seriously," Letty says in amazement as the doors opens to reveal several sports cars. "What is this place?"
"This is heaven," Tej says as they look at the rows and rows of cars.
"It's the agency garage," Hobbs explains before Little Nobody leads them inside.
"He's right. We call it the Toy Shop," Anneliese says with a smirk as she walks over to the team. "This is where we house every vehicle seized from drug dealers off of the East coast."
"Now. Mr. Nobody said if we're gonna have a chance of catching Dom we're gonna have to be damn fast," Little Nobody explains before turning to face the team. "Figured this could help." Deckard walks over to a jeep before patting it on the hood.
"We got a tank," Tej says with a smirk as he walks over to it. "750 horsepower, 6.6 liter, V8 Duramax engine with the M153 CROWS remotely operated weapon station on top."
"You didn't get this from drug dealers," Ramsey says as she and Roman walk over to the tank as well.
"No," Anneliese says with a smirk as she walks over to them. "No, that the United States army lent me."
"See the army is developing machines like this that soldiers can drive from a mile away," Tej explains as he walks around the tank. "So they can stay safe and alive. But, luckily, there is a back up driver's seat for those of us who like to get more "hands on"."
"I'm sitting here this whole time, thinking, will this thing fit in the valet at the Cheesecake Factory," Roman says as he stands beside Tej, causing Anneliese to giggle.
"No one is getting "hands on," Little Nobody says as he rushes over to them. "She doesn't go on the streets." Roman looks away from Little Nobody as they hear a machine moving a car while Anneliese pats Little Nobody on the back before going to find her car.
Anneliese is sitting up in her hospital bed when Mr. Nobody enters the room.
"Mr. Nobody, what do I owe the pleasure?" Anneliese asks with a smile as she sees the older man.
"I want you to come work for me," Mr. Nobody answers her with a shrug, causing Anneliese to watch him suspiciously.
"I feel like there is a but coming," Anneliese says with a raised eyebrow.
"But, you probably won't like your first assignment," Mr. Nobody explains with a small smile, causing Anneliese to sigh.
A few days later, Anneliese walks through a Russian Black-site Prison as she and the guards escort Owen Shaw to his cell. Mr. Nobody had been right when he said that Anneliese wouldn't like her first assignment.
"Love, you know that this won't keep me," Owen says once he sits on his cot.
"I know," Anneliese says with a smirk. "I'll be waiting once you get out." Anneliese winks at Owen, causing him to smile and shake his head at the woman that he is slowly falling in love with.
Roman is listening the police scanners as Ramsey sits in front of him on her computer. Letty sits beside the car, that she had picked, as she works on a harpoon gun. Hobbs is going through Deckard's file before walking over to Deckard, who is working on a car. Anneliese is under her car, installing a harpoon gun into it before she rolls out from under the car to find Hobbs and Deckard laughing together. Anneliese smiles because it shows that people can change as far as going from enemies to frenemies.
"We got an army of cars driving themselves. Send backup! Send S.W.A.T! I don't care if you send the goddamn boy scout. Just send us some help!" A radio beside Roman starts going off as it gains everyone's attention.
"Now, that's Dom," Letty says as she walks over, picking the radio up. The team quickly goes over their plan before getting in their cars, leaving the toy shop with Little Nobody leading the way and Hobbs bringing up the rear.
Dom comes to a quick stop since Roman, Tej, Hobbs, Letty, and Little Nobody are blocking the road in front of him. Dom looks at all of the vehicles before Deckard and Anneliese pull up behind him.
"Guys, I know why Dom's here," Ramsey says over her walkie from Tej's passenger seat, while on her computer. "Police scanners are saying he's stolen Nuclear Football."
"This chick is trying to start World War III," Anneliese says with an eye roll.
"It's over, Toretto," Hobbs says through his car's speaker. "Get your ass out of the car now." Dom simply starts revving his engine. "That's how you wanna play this? Let's play." They all start to rev their engines.
"He's going for it," Little Nobody says as Dom takes off towards them before Little Nobody drives towards Dom.
"What're you doing?" Letty asks Little Nobody as Anneliese tells him, "It's a trap!" Dom drives towards Roman before quickly turning to drive through the flower shop that Little Nobody's car had been in front of. Each member of the team quickly turn around, besides Deckard and Anneliese, before chasing after Dom.
"Now I know what it feels like to be every cop ever chasing us," Tej says over the walkie as they chase after Dom.
"It's a shit show," Anneliese says through gritted teeth.
"I'm gonna get a little closer and I'm gonna PIT him," Little Nobody says as he catches up to Dom.
"Oh, so you just gonna PIT Dom?" Roman asks him with an eye roll. "Little Nobody has clearly lost his little mind."
"I'm on him," Little Nobody says as they follow Dom around a corner.
"Easy, work together," Hobbs tells him before Dom starts taking out some construction work. "Wait, wait, wait!"
"Oh shit," Little Nobody says as the pipes from the construction work fall on his car, trapping it.
"I will take the shortcut," Hobbs says as Letty, Roman, Tej, Anneliese, and Deckard drive around the pipe before Hobbs drives through it with his truck. Tej and Roman drive through a little park area. Letty drives half her car up a cement wall to avoid people, causing her to end up driving on two wheels as she runs out of wall to drive on. Letty drops back onto four wheels as she gets behind Dom. Anneliese follows Deckard as they cut through the side streets. Letty gets beside Dom as he gets his NOS ready. Dom looks at Letty with a frown before hitting his NOS button, causing his car to speed ahead of Letty's. Letty hits a button, causing a harpoon to shoot out of her car before attaching to Dom's car, keeping it connected to her's. Letty hits her brakes in an attempt to slow Dom down some. Tej catches up to them before hitting a button which releases a harpoon from his car that connects to Dom's car. Tej hits his brakes as well, causing Dom to switch gears so he doesn't lose speed.
"Watch the drag or the line will snap!" Letty says before she and Tej let off of their brakes which allows Dom to drag their cars around. Dom hits his brakes as he sees Roman in front of him. Deckard attaches a harpoon to Dom's passenger side door before Hobbs attaches one to his driver side. Anneliese attaches a harpoon on the passenger side near the trunk. Lastly, Roman attaches a harpoon to the front of Dom's car.
"Stretch him out. Hold him," Hobbs orders before they all start reversing causing their lines to pull tight. Dom's back tires begin to smoke as he tries to drive away. "He's gotta have about 2000 HorsePower in that thing."
"Try 3000," Tej quickly corrects him.
"Try Five," Deckard corrects them both as some of their tires begin to catch on fire. Dom switches gears to reverse and turns on more of his NOS. Dom backs up a little which causes Roman to roll forward a little.
"No, no-no... It's my Bentley. No!" Roman yells as Dom starts to drive towards him before Dom rams into the front of Roman's car.
"Roman, whatever you do don't reverse," Anneliese quickly says but is too late as Roman quickly reverses before Dom begins to reverse again as well, causing Roman's line to pull tight again which causes Roman's car to flip and the line to snap. Dom uses his shoulder to ram into his door, which causes the door to fly off. This causes Hobbs' truck to back up into a light pole before flipping on its side. Dom reverses between Letty's and Tej's cars, causing their cars to slam together with Tej's slightly on top of Letty's. Deckard's and Anneliese's cars are pulled into and on top of Letty's and Tej's cars while Dom's car flips upside down and the back axle comes off. The case had fallen out of Dom's car during the flip. Dom starts crawling out of his car as Deckard sees the case. Dom quickly grabs the case as Deckard slides across his and Letty's car before chasing after Dom, who runs around a corner. Halfway down the street, Dom turns to face Deckard as he points a gun at him.
"They thought this was gonna be a street fight," Dom says as Deckard quickly stops while looking at Dom in shock for a second.
"What are you waiting for, Toretto?" Deckard asks him confusedly before Hobbs runs around the corner.
"No!" Hobbs yells as Anneliese jumps in front of Deckard while Dom shoots twice. Cops start heading their way, causing Hobbs to take off running in the other direction. While Dom is distracted, Letty sneaks up behind him before grabbing the case and running, causing Dom to run after her.
Two police officers make their way over to Deckard and Anneliese before loading them into an ambulance.
BACK AT THE TOY SHOP
"Anything?" Hobbs asks as Little Nobody walks over to the team.
"They're gone," Little Nobody answers him as he leans against the table. "And D.O.D confirmed it was a nuclear football. He's got an EMP and nuclear launch codes. I don't know what it is, but they're building towards something."
"Anneliese and Deckard?" Hobbs asks as the team hangs their heads in defeat and confusion about Dom.
"They didn't make it," Little Nobody answers him, causing Ramsey to look at him in shock. Hobbs gets up before punching a metal wall as he walks away, leaving a fist imprint.
AMBULANCE
Anneliese wakes up with a gasp before looking to see Deckard laying in a bed beside her as she realizes that she is in an ambulance.
"Hello, dear," A woman says, causing Anneliese to look at her confused. "I'm Magdalene Shaw but you can call me Queenie."
"Anneliese Reid," Anneliese introduces herself with a smile as she realizes that the woman is Owen's and Deckard's mother.
"You're the one my dear Owen fancies?" Queenie asks with a raised eyebrow, causing Anneliese to blush as she touches the O necklace around her neck. "If I may, you are absolutely gorgeous."
"Thank you," Anneliese says with another smile. "And I hope he still does fancy me since it's been a year since I last saw him."
"Oh, I'm sure he does," Queenie says as she gives Anneliese's hand a reassuring squeeze. "Now, let's wake his brother."
Queenie inserts a needle into Deckard's chest, causing him to gasp and sit up.
"Jesus Mum. You're supposed to avoid the nerves," Deckard says as he looks over at his mother and Anneliese.
"Oh, shut up, don't be such a baby," Queenie says with a smirk.
"Did Torretto hold up his end of the deal?" Deckard asks her as he remembers the deal that she had called him about.
"He gave us this little thing here," Queenie says as she holds up the device that Dom had given her. Deckard goes to take the device from her but she pulls it away from him. "No, don't touch. You can track Cipher with this, but you can't do this on your own. There's gotta be three of ya."
"Fine, I got contacts," Deckard tells her as he reaches for the device again.
"No," Queenie says as she keeps the device out of his reach again before smiling at Anneliese. "You're gonna take your brother."
"Oh, dear," Deckard says as he rolls his eyes.
"Yes," Queenie says as she gives Deckard a stern look. "Annie, knows where he is. Toretto's got this thing. It can see everything. It's like... it's called the devil's bumhole or something?"
"It's called the God's eye," Deckard corrects her with another eye roll as he fights back a smile at what she had called it.
"Yeah, well. Whatever," Queenis says as she waves it off.
"There's no way I'm using Owen, all right?" Deckard says as he tries to reason with his mother, causing Anneliese to glare at him. "He's a lost cause."
"He's your brother, Decks. He's my son," Queenie says after slapping Deckard across the face, causing Anneliese to cover her mouth as she holds back a laugh. "Annie's future husband." Anneliese looks at Queenie in shock because she hasn't really thought about marriage with Owen since they had only barely just met when they got separated. "He's our family. And our family don't die in bloody cages." Queenie starts to cry, causing Deckard to frown. "How can you talk like that about Owen? I can't believe you. You've gone and upset me. You've really upset your mother." Queenie starts to sniffle as she cries while Anneliese pulls her into a hug, causing Deckard to rub his head as he realizes that he messed up. "Call yourself a brother? You're..."
"Look, I'm in, mum. Okay," Deckard says in an attempt to calm her down before she looks up at Deckard with a smirk, since she had only been pretending to cry. "Every time!" Deckard shakes his head as Anneliese giggles at the two of them.
