Reyna ran into the room with a bright smile, "All right. I've decided I'm gonna be an American Muscle girl!" Benny scoffed and shook his head, "That's so disappointing, but your choice Coyote." Reyna smiled brightly before wrapping her arms around his neck, looking over his shoulder at his latest design. "Now that is something I'd want on my car," Reyna spoke making Benny smile as he put the pencil down, "Wanna help me work on the Chevelle?" Reyna jumped up quickly, "Heck yeah!" The two of them made their way out to the garage.

They spent hours working in the garage when Dom, Vince and Letty walked in with food for all of them. "So Benny, you gonna ask Amira out yet?" Vince stirred Benny making him roll his eyes as Reyna laughed before sitting down on Vince's lap with a smirk. "V, you can't say shit... You ain't got a girl," Reyna teased as he wrapped his arms around her, "Well, lil' one... That's because I haven't found the right one." Reyna rolled her eyes before smiling as she looked around at her family, they meant the world to her and she didn't know what she'd do without them.

Reyna threw on her jacket before brushing through her hair, she grabbed her bag and made her way downstairs where Dom was waiting. The two of them were gonna find Jesse, they had to find him before Tran does. Reyna walked into the kitchen while Dom headed out to the garage to pull out the 1970 Dodge Charger a.k.a the beast. "Dom put the gun down now!" Reyna heard Brian shout making her move quickly towards the door with Mia following behind her as she heard Dom's voice yell back, "Move your car." Reyna took a breath as she picked up her getaway bag.

She walked out the door spotting Dom and Brian in the driveway. "No bullshit! Put it down now! No more running!" Brian yelled with his gun aimed at Dom, Reyna walked closer to them as they continue conversing. "I'm not running!" Dom spoke back with a shotgun in hand. "Where's Leon and Letty?" Brian asked making Reyna sigh, "They're gone." Brian looked over at Reyna, Dom glanced at her before looking back at Brian. "Then it's over. I didn't call the police, but don't push me! Put the gun down. I swear to god!" Mia walked out onto the porch.

Dom stepped closer, "You are the cop! You're a cop! Brian, I got to find Jesse before they do. We're all the kids got." Reyna took another breath, her side was sharp with pain but she did her best to ignore it. "I'll call in the plates. PD will pick him up way before Johnny even gets near him," Brian spoke making Reyna shake her head knowing that's not likely, Dom demands Brian to move his car again causing Mia to get involved.

The sound of a familiar engine caught Reyna's attention, she turned her head to see the Jetta pull up. Jesse climbed out and Reyna walked up to him, "Dominic, Reyna... I am so sorry. I don't know what I'm doing, Dom." Reyna gave him a hug, "It's alright Jesse, I'm here." She stepped back from him as he walked towards Dom, "I'm so scared right now. I don't know what's going on." Dom sighed, "What were you thinking, man?" Reyna looked over at Mia and let out a breath before looking back at the guys.

Jesse shook his head, "I don't know! I panicked! I'm sorry. I'm scared! I don't know what I'm doing! Will you please help me?" Reyna's heart clenched due to her best friend, her brothers fear and panic. Just as she's about to pull him into another hug, the sound of motorbikes caught her attention. Tran and Lance began shooting at them, Jesse quickly pushed Reyna to the ground and she felt her stitches rip as Jesse was hit multiple times.

Reyna let out a sob as she crawled over to Jesse's body, "I love you, Jesse... My brother." She kissed his cheek as tears fell down her face as her heart raced in adrenaline. Mia rushed over and pulled Jesse into her arms, Brain took off after Tran while Dom and Reyna raced off to their separate cars. Mia called for them but they ignored her, Reyna threw her bag into the backseat as she followed after Dominic with Tran and Lance being their target.

Brian hit his first NOS to make sure he could catch up to them before they start shooting at him. Brian takes the chance to shoot at them but misses, his aim a mess as he focuses on keeping up with the two shooters. Lance cuts off down a hill before coming back up behind Brian, Dom comes out of nowhere and slams into Lance which sends him flying down a hill. Reyna pulls up beside Dom as Tran starts firing at Brian. Brian came to a stop and fired a shot at Tran, hitting him perfectly. Brian raced over to see if he was still alive before Dom and Reyna show up at the top of the hill.

Reyna looked over at Dom as the two of them drove off knowing exactly where to stop, Brian pulled up in between the two cars; The Beauty and The Beast. "We used to drag here back in high school. That railroad crossing up there is exactly a quarter-mile away from here. On green, we're going for it," Dom spoke as Reyna revved her engine making Brian look at her, noticing her arm bleeding from being shot. Her adrenaline prevented her from feeling any of the pain, she was too focused on the quarter-mile of freedom.

The light turned green and Dom takes off in a wheelie causing Reyna to roll her eyes. Dom was quick to get in front of them once he touched the ground again but Reyna simply smirked as she caught up to him. Brian has to use his NOS to keep up with the two of them as they raced ahead focused on the road. Brian sees a train up ahead before looking from Reyna to Dom, the two of them simply sped up. Brian hits his NOS and the three of them jump over the track, just missed by the train making Reyna smile in excitement as they looked at each other.

They are startled when Dom hits a semi-truck causing his car to start flipping as Reyna swerved her car to avoid hitting him, drifting perfectly which shocked Brian for a moment. Brian and Reyna pull to a stop and race over to Dom, who was seated breathing heavily. "That's not what I had in mind," Dom says before he climbed out the car window with a messed up shoulder. Dom leaned against the car in defeat as they hear the sirens in the distance.

Brian looked at Reyna for a moment before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his keys, he held them out to Dom. "You know what you're doing?" Dom asks as he takes the keys from him while Reyna smiled softly at Brian. "I owe you a 10-second car," Brian simply shrugged as he spoke making Reyna chuckle quietly. Reyna hugged Dom, "I'll see you around big brother." Dom pulled away and kissed the top of her head, "Look after yourself, trouble." She smiled as Dom walked over to the car and drove off.

Reyna turned to Brian with a smile, "I knew you'd pull through." Brian rolled his eyes as Reyna pulled out a piece of paper, "If you ever need to contact me." Reyna handed him the paper before hugging him, "Look after yourself, Buster." Brian laughed as she pulled away, leaning up she kissed his cheek before walking over to her car. "Hey, Rey!" Brian called out making her turn to look at him, "Yeah?" He smirked, "Next time we meet, you gotta teach me to drift." She smirked, "You gotta learn to drive American Muscle first." She climbed into her car.

She revved her engine before speeding off, she wasn't entirely sure where she was gonna go but she was excited about the adventure. She only had one place to go first, someone she needed to see before she left the only place she's ever called home. She pulled her jacket on tight as she approached her father's gravestone, "Hey dad... Some things have happened and the crew had to split. I'm not entirely sure where I'm gonna go but I'm gonna live my life." She placed down a keyring with a small Chevelle decor hanging off it.

She stood up holding her now patched up wound on her side, "I'll see you around, dad. Trust me, Life can only go up from here... right?" She turned around and made her way back towards her car, climbing in she drives off towards the highway deciding to just follow it until a place comes to mind, who knows maybe she'll find the place for her. But one thing was for sure, no matter what - wherever the crew ended up, they would find their way back to each other.

Ride or Die.

"I live my life a quarter-mile at a time and for those ten seconds or less, I'm free."
