30.5









That night, Brian and Mia had gone to their room with Dom going to his. Mak stayed up thinking about the future. As Mak is sitting there in the dark, she sees Vince walk into the room with the car. Vince walks straight over to the radio-computer before pulling a chip out of the back of it.

"Almost wish I didn't see that," Mak says as she lets it be known that she is there. Vince looks at her shocked before dropping the chip. Mak starts walking towards Vince. "Almost."

"Wait, Mak," Vince says as he holds his hands up in surrender.

"Mia and Dom were on that train," Mak states as she glares at Vince. "My siblings!" Mak shoves Vince into a column.

"I didn't know. I wouldn't do anything to hurt them," Vince yells at Mak.

"You set up the deal!" Mak yells as she gets in Vince's face.

"I thought the job was for the cars," Vince tells her. "I didn't know. All they want is the chip."

"Damn!" Mak yells as she hits the column on either side of Vince's head. "You should've come clean."

"What's going on out here?" Mia asks as she and Brian walk out of their and Dom walks out of his.

"Nothing," Mak answers as she walks away from Vince.

"Please, Mak, just let me have the chip. I can take it to them," Vince explains as he follows Mak. "They'll give it to Reyes and set things right."

"Get out," Mak says as she glares at him.

"What?" Vince asks her.

"Get out!" Mak yells as she points at the door. Vince turns towards the door before looking at Brian then back at Mak.

"You never listen to me. Not when I told you he was a cop, and not now," Vince says causing Mak and Dom to glance over at Brian. "You never trust me and look where it's gotten us. Look at our family now. I can't go home! Your sister and brother are stuck in this life! Where's Letty, Dom? Mak? Where's Letty?"

"Get out!" Dom yells at him before Vince leaves.



Luke is looking through the remains of the train before pulling something out from where they had cut into the side of the train.

"Plasma cutter," Luke states as he looks at the piece of metal. "Wilkes, I want a list of every place within 50 miles that distributes compressed gas tanks. Pass me that manifest." Luke drops the piece of metal into the bag that Wilkes holds out. Wilkes then passes Luke a file.

"Officer Neves. Been waiting for you," Luke says as she walks up.

"You asked for me?" Elena asks him.

"I did," Luke answers her.

"May I ask why? My smile is not that great," Elena says with a blank face.

"Your husband was an officer who was gunned down in the favela. Six months later, you upped and joined the force. You're motivated," Luke explains before one of his team members pull up. "Plus, I figure you're the only one in Rio who can't be bought. Am I right?"

"Yes," Elena answers with a nod.

"Of course I am," Luke says with a smile.

"Good news, bad news," Hunt says as he walks over.

"You know I like my dessert first," Luke states as he looks at him.

"Back-checked the rail line like you asked. Found a couple of spots where they unloaded the cars," Hunt starts explaining. "One set of tracks headed west until it hit the main highway, the disappeared. But another set of tracks headed east. A 107-inch wheelbase, eight and a half inch tread."

"The GT40 that was missing from the manifest," Luke states.

"Followed the trail a couple of miles," Hunt says with a nod. "Pretty easy on the scrub. Can't move without leaving a sign."

"Give me the damn veggies," Luke tells him knowing the bad news is coming.

"The ground rolls into a hardpack and we lost that track, too," Hunt explains.

"Not necessarily," Elena tells him. "That road heads up through the hills into the favelas. Couple of years ago, it was washed out by a storm. It's all dirt a mile from where you were. If they headed that way, we'll pick up their tracks there."

"You come prepared," Luke comments.

"I'm motivated," Elena responds.

"All right, then. Lets find ourselves a car," Luke orders before they head out.
