48.7







(AUGUST POV)

"Safar, I stashed something inside it. It's important," Ramsey explains.

"Okay, okay. Uh, good news. It is safe," Safar says.

"And the bad news?" I ask.

"It is very safe. I sold it to a Jordanian prince living up there. Trust fund billionaire. Said he wanted to use it for his supercar," Safar says.

"Now, see, this? This I like. Billionaire, supercar..." Rome says.

"What makes it so super?" Brian asks.

"242 miles per hour, top speed. And it's bulletproof," Safar answers.

"242... Am I the only one aroused right now? It's, like, you know what I'm saying? Whatever," Rome says.

"Where does he keep it?" Dom asks.

"In his penthouse. Tower number one," Safar answers.

"Now, why in the hell would he keep his car in his penthouse?" Tej asks.

"He's a billionaire, my friend. He can do whatever he wants. Now, tomorrow happens to be the longest day of the year. The prince wants to celebrate it and host a party tomorrow afternoon," Safar says.

"So you can get us up there, right?" Letty asks.

"Sure. But, uh, not dressed like that," Safar says. The next day we have to get all dressed up to go to a party. Dom and Letty get in one elevator while Brian and I get into another. I see him staring at me. I'm wearing a maroonish, red knee-length sparkly dress.

"What? Is something wrong?" I ask him.

"There's a billion things wrong. But not in this moment," Brian says making me blush.

"You look handsome," I tell him.

"I feel awkward," He says.

"You and me both," I tell him with a laugh. We kiss and break apart right as the doors to the elevator open. We get out and go our separate ways. "Showtime."

"No, no, no. Listen, man. They're telling me they party like this every day. On this level, they party every day. This is crazy. I might have to move out here. I think I'm gonna start a new culture. It's called Blarab. You know, like 'black Arab.'" Rome rambles on.

"How are we looking, Tej?" Dom asks.

"We're almost in position. Okay, so this is how it works. We got to move in sync if we're gonna pull this off. So let's go over it to make sure everyone clearly understands their roles. Roman, that means you," Tej explains.

"You know what, you're being real unprofessional right now, Tej," Rome says.

"The God's Eye chip is hidden in a speed drive installed in the prince's car, which he keeps in a safe room vault," Ramsey explains.

"I make 8 to 10 plainclothes security," I say.

"Not to mention the prince and his personal bodyguards," Brian says.

"Security cameras are clustered by the north wall," Letty says.

"That's where the vault is," Ramsey explains.

"We got to get in that vault, we got to tap into the security system, which can be accessed in the prince's bedroom," Tej explains.

"All right, guys, I'm going in," Letty says.

"I'm right behind you," I say.

"Excuse me. Oh, I was just looking for the..." Letty says to the guard.

"The party is that way," The guard says.

"What?" Letty asks pretending to be confused.

"This room is off-limits," The guard says then Letty knocks him out. We drag him into the bedroom. I stay to guard the door after taking the guard's gun.

"Now, once we're tapped in, Ramsey and I can hack into the network and pop the door so you can get in and get that shit," Tej explains.

"Wait, wait, wait. You missed a step. What about my steps? What am I supposed to be doing?" Rome asks.

"No, we didn't miss anything. You're special teams," Tej answers. "So when we need you, do what you do best."

"And that is?" Rome asks.

"Shine brightly like only Roman Pearce can do," I answer him.

"Ha-ha. See? Now we talking," Rome says.

"All right, Tej, I'm in," Letty says.

"All right, find the phone jack. The tap always runs behind that. It's gonna be a 350-megahertz CAT5e cable. They probably got a couple dozen back there, but this will be the bonded pair with the plenum coat," Tej explains.

"English, Tej," Letty says.

"It'll be the orange wire," I say coming into the room and working with the wires.

"All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the pilot seat," Ramsey says. "All right, Roman. Do whatever it is you do."

"It's your birthday, right? Are you Jasmine?" Rome says probably grabbing some random girl.

"Oh, God, no. Not the birthday routine," Brian says.

"Take my hand. Happy birthday to you. This way, this way. Excuse me, so sorry. I'm coming through, sorry. Right, this way. Listen, excuse me one second. My brother, my brother. Sir, thank you so much. All right, listen, people. Please, everybody, gather around. Understand something, right now. Listen to what I'm telling y'all. We are here to celebrate Jasmines 18th birthday. Happy birthday, my dear. Happy birthday to you. To you. To you," Rome rambles on.

"Oh, I wish I didn't see that," Ramsey says.

"Ramsey, open it up for us," Dom says.

"Copy that. You're in," Ramsey says.

"Do you realize what this is?" Brian asks. "LYKHH HyperSport. $3.4 million. Zero-to-5O in less than three seconds. There's seven of these things in the world, and this guy keeps it locked up in a vault." Damn, that's a nice car.

"Nothing's sadder than locking a beast in a cage. And now I really want to punch him in the face. Okay. Let's get to work," Dom says.

"You got this, right?" Brian asks.

"Go," Dom says.

(AUGUST POV)

Letty and I go to leave the bedroom but we found the lady guards on the other side of the door. The head lady sees the other guards body.

"Would you believe I knocked him out with my charm?" Letty asks.

"You ain't that charming, bitch," The lady says before we all start fighting.

"No, no! Tej, your magic trick is failing. We're losing systems," Ramsey says.

"I know. I see it," Tej says.

"Tej, talk to me," Dom says.

"I'm trying, but their security system is locking us out," Tej says.

"All right, listen, ladies and gentlemen... Oh, there he is. These are your dancers? This is a party, baby! Some of y'all probably went to the bathroom and noticed that all the hairspray was missing. Yep. She did it. Thank you. And we're so happy for you to be here. You look like you got some missiles underneath that dress. No?" Rome rambles on.

"He did not just... Did you just say that?" Tej asks.

"Oh, shit! Not the gate! Not the gate!" Dom says. "Brian, faster! You gotta hurry up."

"Thank God you showed up. These parties bore me to death," The lady guard says as she fights Letty.

"Guys, get out of there right now. You've got an army heading your way," Tej tells Brian and Dom.

"Brian, get out! Forget it! Tej, we're taking the car," Dom says.

"This is what I do. You know what I'm saying'? As far as I'm... My man, what's..." Rome continues to ramble but Letty and the lady guard fall over the balcony landing on the DJ station. I start to head for the stairs. "Letty, talk to me. Are you okay?" Rome goes over to Letty helping her up.

"Guys, I can't hold it. I'm losing the final gate. You gotta get out of there," Tej says.

"Tear out the dash! Go through it. Time to unleash the beast," Dom says as he starts driving the car.

"Let's go! Stay with me, I got you," Rome tells Letty. Deckard comes out of the elevator guns a blazing. Deckard starts shooting in Rome's and Letty's direction so I start shooting at him.

"Let's get the hell out of here," Dom says. Letty, Rome, and I are able to make it to the elevator. As we do Dom drives through the room.

"Dom, cars don't fly! Cars don't fly! Holy shit!" Brian yells as they jump into the next building.

"No brakes!" Dom yells.

"What?" Brian asks panicked. I start to panic fearing the worst.

"No brakes! Shit! No, no! No!" Dom yells.

"Oh! Got it!" Brian says.

"Get out!" Dom says and I see the car go through the third building. "Still miss the bullets, Brian?" We all head back to Safar's garage.

"Ah! There they are. Disaster," Safar says as we walk in.

"I'm sorry," Ramsey says.

"I get you an invite to the most exclusive party in Abu Dhabi," Safar says.

"Safar..." Ramsey tries to calm him down.

"No, no, no. You steal the host's car, and you jump it between two buildings," Safar goes on.

"Actually, it was three buildings," Brian says and I smile while wrapping my arms around his waist and he throws an arm over my shoulder.

"Oh! Two, insult. Three, honor. My bad," Safar says sarcastically.

"Well, well, well. I have to say, you've got an interesting interpretation thereof 'low-key,' Mr. Toretto. You know, Dom, I thought we had an understanding," Mr. Nobody says as he walks in.

"Sometimes you have to play the hand you're dealt," I tell him.

"That's why I prefer to be the dealer. Good night," Mr. Nobody says.

"Ah! I'm being kicked out of my own garage. This is great," Safar says leaving the garage.

"Uh, may I?" Mr. Nobody asks.

"Brian, give it to him," Dom says and Brian lets go of me. He goes and hands Mr. Nobody the device.
