22.9
Tej, Letty, Ramsey, and Roman are walking towards the plane when they hear two engines roaring in the distance, causing them all to stop. Letty lightly laughs as they see Bellamy and Dom racing towards them before Bellamy actually beats Dom.
MONTEQUINTO
"Coming up on the signal, two miles," Ramsey says over the comms from Tej's passenger seat as Dom leads the group. "It's deep in the militarized zone of Montequinto. I hope everyone's ready."
"Ready? Y'all want to make jokes about me not making practical decisions? This is as prepared as it gets," Roman questions as he drives his heavily armored vehicle, causing Bellamy to roll her eyes.
"We all see you, man. Nobody thinks you're compensating for anything," Tej tells him sarcastically, causing Ramsey to laugh.
"I'll take point," Letty says as she drives up beside Dom on her bike.
"Careful," Dom tells her, causing Letty to roll her eyes.
"Careful's when you get hurt," Letty retorts as she pops a wheelie on her bike before leading the team.
"She's got a point, bro," Bellamy says as she passes Dom to catch up to Letty on her own bike.
"Right now, we have a ten-minute window between patrols," Ramsey explains as she pulls up a screen showing Mr. Nobody's plane's location before using a different screen to look at where the patrols are. "Mr. Nobody's signal is close, but we've got to move quickly, guys. We do not want to cross paths with the military here." Ramsey and Tej share a worried look before they pull up to the plane wreckage. Tej, Dom, and Roman get out of their vehicles with guns at the ready. "It's inside."
"Cover us," Dom orders before he and Bellamy lead the way inside the plane with Ramsey following them. Letty slowly follows behind them as she keeps her gun raised. Roman and Tej walk around the wreckage looking for any signs of life.
"The source of the SOS signal is coming from inside this thing," Ramsey says as her device starts beeping before she walks over to an touch screen keypad that is in the floor.
"Somebody wanted in," Bellamy says with raised eyebrows as she sees where someone had tried busting into the box. "Plane must have gone down before they could cut through." Tej walks into the plane since he couldn't find anyone.
"Or it was sent down on purpose to stop 'em," Letty suggests as she looks up at Dom.
"Yeah, well, their mistake was trying to cut into it," Ramsey says as she looks up at them from where she is kneeled by the keypad. "But just give me a minute. I can get in."
"Dom," Roman says quietly as he walks into the plane, causing Dom to look at him. "There's not a soul in sight. No sign of Mr. Nobody."
"Got it," Ramsey says after a device beeps before she opens the box to find a smaller box inside. Letty kneels down to help her open the second box.
"What the hell is this?" Letty asks as she pulls out half of a sphere shaped device.
"Whatever it is, Mr. Nobody wanted us to find it. How's that work..." Dom answers her before he is interrupted by gun fire. "Go!" Ramsey runs to Tej's truck as Bellamy and Letty run to their bikes before Letty puts the device under her seat while Dom, Tej, and Roman cover them. Roman runs for his vehicle but ends up in front of two of the military vehicles, causing him to duck for cover. Dom runs to his car while Tej runs to his truck. Bellamy and Letty lead them away from the plane while Roman is left behind. Dom follows Letty as two military vehicles start heading towards them while Tej follows Bellamy. Letty weaves as the soldiers start shooting at her before Dom drives around her taking all of the hits with his car.
"Roman, where the hell are you?!" Tej asks as a military vehicle follows him before shooting at him. Tej turns as two military vehicles start heading towards him before Roman comes out of nowhere, taking out the vehicle behind Tej.
"Who's compensating now, Tej?!" Roman asks with a smirk as they are followed by several military vehicles with two helicopters joining the chase. As they are driving through the trees, Roman notices a sign. "Peligro minas. What does that mean?"
"Shit," Bellamy says to herself as she begins to regret choosing a bike.
"Tej, how fast we got to go to clear 'em?" Dom asks over his walkie.
"Please don't tell me you're thinking what I think you're thinking," Tej says as he shakes his head.
"Why? What does "peligro minas" mean?" Roman asks as he slightly starts to panic.
"Tej, how fast?" Dom asks again, causing Tej to realize that he is serious.
"I don't know, man," Tej says while shaking his head before trying to calculate it.
"Somebody answer me! What does "peligro minas" mean?" Roman demands as he really starts to panic.
"Peligro minas means danger, land mines!" Ramsey answers him in hopes to shut him up as she grabs her computer.
"What?!" Roman asks in shock.
"How fast, Tej?" Dom asks once again.
"Assuming a 50-foot blast radius and a-a half a second trigger delay, I'd say about 80," Tej explains to him what he thinks will work.
"I can't! My speedometer only goes up to 70. What do I do?!" Roman asks as he looks at his speedometer before he starts to panic.
"You put your foot to that floor, and you pray," Tej answers him as Bellamy and Letty lead the way into the mine field. Several of the military vehicles stop at the beginning of the mine field while a few still follow them. A military vehicle is blown up right beside Tej and Ramsey. Roman yells as a land mine blows up behind him.
"Get to that palm plantation, and then we're clear," Ramsey says as she points at the plantation before Tej changes gears to speed up. Dom bumps into a military vehicle, causing it to drive into a land mine before exploding. The vehicle slightly lands on top of Dom's car before rolling off. Roman yells as he drives over a land mine, causing it to explode which causes the back end of his vehicle to raise up. Bellamy swerves around a land mine, causing Roman to get in front of her. As they reach near the plantation, Roman drives over another land mine, causing the back end of his vehicle to catch fire as a tire falls off.
"Roman, you good?" Tej asks as he looks back, having heard the explosion.
"My ass is en fuego!" Roman answers him as he starts to panic once again. Part of Roman's vehicle explodes, causing it to fly through the air before getting stuck between two boulders. Tej comes to a stop before he and Ramsey get out of the vehicle, running towards Roman's.
"Tej! Wait! Land mine!" Ramsey yells as she sees a land mine below Roman's vehicle, which starts sliding towards the land mine. Roman unbuckles his seatbelt before kicking his windshield open. The vehicle slides again before catching on a rock. Roman holds onto the steering wheel as he climbs out of the vehicle. Roman yells as he prepares to drop to the ground but Bellamy drives towards him before hitting her breaks as she jumps from the bike. Bellamy grabs Roman, causing him to let go of the steering wheel before they land on the other side of the land mine. The vehicle starts sliding again as Roman looks up at it before he pulls Bellamy up as he runs and jumps out of the way. The vehicle falls onto the land mine before exploding. Roman starts running towards Tej and Ramsey, who are watching with slight smiles on their faces which quickly turn to shock as the vehicle lands back on the ground with a yell from Roman. Ramsey gasps in shock as she covers her mouth before tears come to her eyes. Tej goes to comfort Ramsey before Roman and Bellamy walk around the front of the vehicle since Bellamy had caught up to Roman and had pulled him back before he could by squashed like a bug. Roman mumbles in shock as he motions between himself and the vehicle.
"How in the hell are you not dead?" Tej asks him confused as Roman walks past him to get into the vehicle.
"I'm fine," Roman barely mumbles out as he glances back at his vehicle.
"And how the hell did you pull off that bike trick?" Tej asks Bellamy as they walk over to Tej's vehicle.
"Not a damn clue," Bellamy says with a smirk on her face. Though she is very thankful that it had worked.
"Wait, okay, I think I found us another way out," Ramsey says as she types on her computer while looking at a map. "Two miles to what looks like a bridge across the border."
"Good. The sooner we get out of here, the better," Letty says as a car jumps in front of her.
"Letty, on the right," Dom warns as Letty hits her brakes, causing her bike to go on one wheel as the car misses her. Letty drives into the trees before the car follows her while taking one of the trees out. A man jumps out of the car onto the back of Letty's bike. Letty pops the bike into a wheelie, causing the man's legs to drag behind the bike. The man grabs Letty's shoulder before she quickly turns, causing the man's body to swing around into a tree which causes him to let go. Letty jumps off of a small cliff as the car follows her before it clips her back tire. Letty is flung from her bike as Dom races towards before quickly turning so Letty lands on the hood of the car. Letty looks up at Dom in shock before they share a smile.
"The device," Letty quickly says before looking around for her bike, only to see the device rolling away from the bike. A blue mustang drives over to the device as the driver opens the door before coming to a stop. Dom and Letty watch in shock as the driver picks up the device before smirking at Dom.
"Get in," Dom tells Letty as the driver takes off before Letty climbs in the car through the window while Dom takes off.
"That was Jakob back there, wasn't it?" Letty asks as Dom looks over at her before back at the car he is chasing. Dom rams into the blue mustang as another car gets behind them, shooting at Dom and Letty.
"Always check your mirrors, bitches!" Roman yells as Tej takes out the car that had the shooter.
"Oh, hell no," Bellamy says as they all notice the bridge which is in very bad shape.
"Are we supposed to drive across that?" Roman asks as the car rolls beside them.
"Well, I said it looked like a bridge," Ramsey defends herself as Tej speeds up to get ahead of the rolling car. Tej starts driving across the bridge as the car rolls into it, causing some of the ropes to snap and the bridge to start to fall.
"Oh, my God!" Roman yells as Tej speeds up once again to keep from falling with the bridge. Two helicopters fly up before shooting missiles at Dom and Jakob.
"The military's not giving up. We got to get past the border," Letty tells Dom as he bumps into Jakob again. Jakob hits his NOS before driving off of the cliff while a plane flies over, catching Jakob with a magnet. Dom quickly turns away from the cliff while the helicopters continue to fire missiles at them. "Where's the bridge?" Dom goes to hit his NOS. "No. No, no. Dom." Dom hits his NOS hitting the remaining post, causing the last rope to come free. Dom turns his wheel, causing the rope to wrap around the axle by the tire. The car drops until the rope pulls tight, causing it to swing the car around before it hits an edge of a clip. The car rolls several times before it comes to a stop straight up. "Well, that was new."
"Dom? Letty? Are y'all okay?" Bellamy asks as she worries about her brother and sister-in-law.
"We're alive," Letty says with a smile on her face, causing Bellamy to let out a sigh of relief as she leans back in her seat.
