I, Augustina Belle Toretto, am back and ready to fight some crime. I will be Alex Wilde, my FBI name, this time.

Miami

(August P.O.V.)

I'm out working on Dom's car in the garage. I decide to take a break. I walk inside and grab me a Corona. Smiling in memory of how a Corona is the only beer Dom would drink.

"Salute Dom," I say out loud popping the top of the beer. I walk back outside and sit in the garage and think about everything that has happened. From becoming a cop to being by myself in L.A. I remember meeting Brian for the first time in the shop we had owned. Finding out Brian was a cop. Losing Jesse. I have a scar on my arm and side from trying to save him. Almost losing Vince on the truck. Almost losing Dom in his race against Brian. Being able to fully trust Brian. Helping Brian run. Getting Mia out of this life. I hear from her every now and then. Vince and her are somewhere in South America. I haven't heard from Dom, Letty, Leon, or Brian. Tej let me know that he showed up about five months ago. It's been about a year since everybody left. I miss everybody, its very lonely living by myself. I finished college and I'm the queen of the streets since Dom isn't here. I get back to work on Dom's car. I wouldn't let them crush it. I slide under the car and begin working. About half an hour later I hear footsteps walking into the garage. I make sure my gun is still in my waistband and slide out from under the car. Standing before me is Bilkins.

(Brian P.O.V.)

After I left August, I've been to many places. About six months later I was driving down the interstate looking for somewhere else to go. My options were Miami or New York. Then I remembered August giving me a sheet of paper for a place to go to in Miami. So, I headed to Miami. I found Tej's garage and told him that sweetheart sent me and he took me right in. I work with Tej in his garage. It's been about five months since I've been in Miami. I miss August like crazy.

(August/Alex P.O.V.)

"Bilkins, long time no see," I say standing up.
"Alex Wilde or August Toretto?" Bilkins asks.
"Depends on which one you need and why," I answer.
"I need both. Is there somewhere else we can talk?" Bilkins asks. I nod my head and lead him inside.
"So, what do you need me for?" I ask. Bilkins lays a picture of Brian and I before he left. I glance at the picture and look away.

"I need August to tell me where he is. I need Alex to do a job with him once he's found." Bilkins says.
"First before I say where he is, what's the job?" I say interested in seeing Brian again.
"I need you to be a manager of drivers. It will be Brian and a customs agent. It's in Miami. You will be told more once we get to Miami. You will be known as Alex and you will not let Brian know who you really are." Bilkins says.
"I'm in," I say and get up to go pack. Bilkins and I enter the customs office.

"This is her," Bilkins says to a guy that looks like he is in charge. "Agent Markham, Agent Wilde," Bilkins says introducing us. We shake hands. We sit down and they fill me in.

"Carter Verone. Born in Argentina. But he's lived most of his life in Miami. Now he owns the biggest import/export business in the state. Unfortunately, the cartels have been successful in getting drugs into Miami. But they've had a hard time getting the cash-out. We've been watching him for a year, but we've never been able to put him and the money together. We've swept his house, his warehouses..." Markham explains before being interrupted.
"Nothing. Customs here has done a great job of getting us this far. We're just here to help get them over the top." Bilkins says.
"I was able to get an agent in undercover...working travel and logistics for him. Recently Verone put her in charge of finding some new drivers and someone to manage the drivers, like tell them where to go when to be there and even ride with them. She's been in with Verone nearly a year." Markham continues.

"Even lives at the compound with him now," Bilkins adds.
"Flipped?" I ask.
"No. Look, it was the FBI's idea to bring you in here. I'm against it. But we need someone who can manage and find the drivers....that can put this asshole and his money together." Markham says.

"So, where is Brian?" Bilkins asks.
"Right here in Miami. We can pick him up tonight. There's a street race. A friend of mine is going to be over it. All we have to do is get him to that race. After the race, my friend can get me into his car. If you don't catch us in a chase, you can track us through me." I say.
"Looks like we got a plan," Bilkins says.
"I will get Monica there to help distract him a little bit," Markham says. I walk outside and call Tej.

"What's up sweetheart?" Tej answers.
"Hey. I'm in Miami undercover, so call me Alex Wilde. I need you to get Brian in that race tonight. He can not know that I'm me. I need you to get him to let me in his car after the race because the cops will show up and we need Brian." I explain.
"I can do it. See ya tonight girl." Tej says. I walk back inside.

"It's all set up," I say and leave to get ready for tonight.

(Alex P.O.V.)

I arrive at the races. Even though it's Miami, it still feels like home. I find Tej and he has an afro. He's in the garage on the phone.

"Yo, Jimmy, man, give me the status. Tell me we good." Tej says to Jimmy on the phone. "Beautiful," Tej says before hanging up.
"Tej, what up, man?" I ask as we hug.
"Bout to get the race started." He says winking at me. We walk out of the garage and into the crowd. "It's gonna be an all-timer tonight. All right, all right, all right. Fire 'em up! We go live in five." Tej shouts to the crowd. We walk over and inspect the racers. I walk over and see Suki and her girls wiping down her ride.

"Suki! Girl, what's up?" I say. Tej had filled Jimmy and Suki in earlier.
"Alex!" Suki says and we hug.
"All right, ladies! We're good! We're good." Suki says turning back to her car.
"Come on, Tej. Let's get this race going!" A Hispanic guy says. We notice that there are only three racers.

"Whoa, whoa, man. Wait a second, man. You cats are the first wave, man. Where's your fourth at?" Tej asks.
"Yo, it was Joaquin, but he had to work the graveyard shift." A guy with an afro explains.
"What?" Tej asks.
"Graveyard shift, man?" The afro guy says. "Yo, why don't you run with us, Tej?" He then asks.
"Hell, no, I'm not runnin' with y'all, man. Either you find a fourth or you don't race. How 'bout that, huh?" Tej says.
"We should find two so we don't have to roll with skirt here." The Hispanic guy says pointing at Suki. He just crossed a line that did not need to be crossed.

"Oooh!" The crowd says.
"Idiota." Suki insults him.
"Whoa. Whoa. Wait a second. Why don't I just find y'all a fourth, huh?" Tej asks.
"And we settle this on the streets," I say.
"Bring him on," Suki says.
"Anybody, I want? No matter who it is." Tej asks smirking. The plan is in action.
"Yeah." They each sound off. Tej and I walk over to the side. Tej calls Brian.

(Brian P.O.V.)

I had just got out of the shower and was walking into my room when my cell phone started ringing. I answer it.

"You wanna race tonight?" Tej asks on the other end.
"Yeah. You know I could use the money." I answer.
"You got four minutes," Tej says.
"All right. I'll be there." I say. I rush and get dress and head to my car.

(Alex P.O.V.)

Tej gets off the phone and nods at me.

"The race starts in four minutes," Tej yells.
"All right, girls. Let's do this." Suki says as they all put their hands in and then break it out. Four minutes later we hear a car trying to make its way through the crowd. I look and it is a Nissan Skyline. Classic Brian.

"Yeah. There's our fourth right here." Tej says as Brian pulls up.
"Shit. It's Brian." Suki says.
"Yeah, Brian! I love you, Bullet!" The crowd screams. He has made quite a reputation here.
"What's up, Tej?" Brian asks.
"What's happenin', dude?" Tej asks as they bro hug.
"Thank for the invite," Brian says and sees me standing there. He has a look of knowing on his face.

"No problem at all, man. This is Alex Wilde, a dear friend of mine." Tej says realizing I was there. "Just, uh....Just remember me when you wax, a'ight?" Tej continues.
"They got deep pockets?" Brian asks.
"Real deep." Tej answers.
"What's up, Suki?" Brian asks.
"What's up, Bullet?" Suki asks.

"What do you say we kick it a nickel?" Brian asks the other drivers.
"Nobody said nothin' about raisin' the stakes." The Hispanic guy says.
"If that's the case, why don't you ask these nice people here to back off the line so you can go home?" Brian asks and I smirk, knowing I would have done the same thing.
"Oooh!" The crowd says.
"Hey. Hey. Hey." The Hispanic guy says getting the crowd to calm down. "Okay."
"Thirty-five large," Tej says setting the price. "Three Cinco." He says as he gets in front of the Hispanic guy. Tej starts collecting the money.

"Thirty-five large, huh?" The guy with the afro asks.
"Either that or you can go home, brah." Tej answers and the guy with the afro hands over the money.
"Yeah. It's all there." The guy says.
"It better be," Tej says before walking to Suki. "Damn, Suki. Uh, when you gonna pop my clutch, huh?" Tej flirts.
"As soon as you get the right set of tools." Suki flirts back.
"Yeah, a'ight," Tej says before going to collect Brian's money. Brian heads to get into his car, but looks into the crowd and just stares. I look to where he is looking and there is Monica right on time.
