FORTY-THREE

COVERT OPERATIONS BASE
EL SEGUNDO, CA

Mr Nobody held up a glass, "Belgian Ale." Reyna scrunched up her nose in disgust as she shared a look with Dom as Mr Nobody took a drink of it. "Oh, man, those monks got it right. I mean, I don't know about the whole celibacy thing, but when it comes to beer... Would you like one?" Mr Nobody offered the two who shook their heads as Reyna spoke, "I'm more of a Corona woman myself." Mr Nobody nods before grabbing a bucket of ice filled with Corona's causing Rey and Dom to look at him shocked and confused. "Your files not only detailed, it's uh, extremely entertaining."

Mr Nobody holds a Corona out to Reyna and Dom who looked at him skeptically before the two take the drinks from him. "Look, Shaw's power is that he is a shadow. He's really good at getting in and out of places without being seen and leaving nothing but a body count in his wake. I mean, he's a legitmate English badass. But to be honest with you, Rey, I don't give two shits about Deckard Shaw. It's you I want. Because you and I can help each other get what we both need." Reyna spared a glance at Dom before looking back at the older man, "I'm listening."

Mr Nobody lead the two lead racers into a room full of computers, "Just recently, a private military company led by a wanted terrorist named Mose Jakande kidnapped a hacker known only by the name "Ramsey". Now, Lady Liberty's got her panties in a bunch over this, but rightfully so, because this Ramsey has created something interesting." The information spanned across the screen as he explained it before ordering a soldier to bring something else up.

"Say hello to God's Eye," Mr Nobody says as he stands below the screens, "Now, this little bastard hacks into anything that's on the digital network. That means every cell phone, satellite, ATM machine, and computer. Simultaneously. If it's got a microphone or a lens, God's Eye can use it to find you." Reyna looked from the screens to Mr Nobody after having a mouthful of her drink, "So you invited us here to show us a tracking device?" Dom nodded in agreement with Reyna. "On steroids. Lot's of them," Mr Nobody adds as he walks in front of Rey and Dom.

Mr Nobody sighed, "Let me put it to you this way. It took us nearly a decade to find Osama Bin Laden. With this, we'd have located him anywhere on the planet in a couple of hours. Now, that's a serious piece of machinery that could be catastrophic in the wrong hands. But for some very nauseating political reasons, any rescue plans involving any US government forces or entity has been strictly ruled out. And that's why I need you." Reyna took in his words before shrugging, "But why do we need you? I mean, we could go back outside, enjoy the rest of the Corona's and let Shaw come to us." Dom nodded in agreement.

Mr Nobody smirked, "You could do that. How's that working out so far? You got one friend in the ground, another one in the hospital." Reyna frowned at those comments while he continued, "And then, of course, there's that little issue of the bomb that destroyed your home." Reyna sighed as she leaned into Dom looking down. "Shaw lives in a world that doesn't play by your rules. Like it or not, you both live in that world now too. You wanna know how to kill a shadow? You just shine a little light on it. If you get the God's Eye for me, I've already got authorization for you to use it until you get Shaw." Reyna thought deeply about this as she stood up straight.

Dom looked down at Reyna knowing she was already thinking this through as Mr Nobody clasped his hands together, "You go from the hunted to the hunter. And there's no place on Earth where Shaw can hide from you. More importantly, you and your family don't go to anymore funerals. You get Ramsey, you get the God's Eye, you get Shaw." He shrugged, "Well, that's the wind-up and the pitch. Now that I've given you this incredibly sensitive and highly classified information, what do you think, Roshani?" He stood silent as Reyna took a deep breath.

Dom smirked, "I think you already know what she's gonna do." Reyna smiled and nodded in agreement. "Good," Mr Nobody states. Reyna stood tall as she looked at Mr Nobody, "But it'll be my way. And my crew." Mr Nobody smirked at her, "I assumed you might say that. Which is why I've taken the liberty of gathering your team." Mr Nobody motions towards the glass window behind Reyna and Dom, they follow his gaze and see two SUV's pull in before Brian, Tej, Rome and Benny get out of them. Reyna smiled at Dom before the two looked back down at their team ready to lead them again.

Reyna looked down at the bracelet on his wrist, it wasn't where it belonged and there was nothing she could do to change that. "Hey love," Tej says as he walked up behind her before wrapping his arms around her waist resting his head on her shoulder as she looked up in the reflection. "What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?" Tej asks making Reyna smile lightly as she answered, "This new job, our losses, the future... what may happen next... I guess a little bit of everything." Tej smiled at her before he kissed her cheek, "Well tonight, we can relax because tomorrow will be crazy."

Reyna turned around in Tej's arms wrapping her arms around his shoulders, "I love you, Tej Parker." He smiled at her before kissing her. "I love you, Reyna Roshani. More than you know," Tej tells her once they pulled away from each other. Rey smiled before pulling Tej into the bedroom, a flirtatious smirk appearing on her face making Tej lick his lips before pulling her back into him as he slammed his lips onto hers. The two stumbled back onto the bed making them both laugh before they continued kissing, the two spent the night showing each other how much they loved each other.

The next morning, they all gathered around a table in a large room to form a plan to rescue Ramsey. "Our intelligence suggest that Ramsey will be transported by an armed motorcade through the Caucasus Mountain Range. If they clear this range and reach their destination, Ramsey is as good as gone," Mr Nobody explains to the team as Reyna stands next to Tej, his arm around her waist. "So, let me get this straight," Rome says as he looks at everyone, "There's only one road that leads in or out, sheer drops on every side, a motorcade from hell protected by a small army from one mile in either direction?"

Brian, Dom and Reyna shared a glance at Rome's words, they weren't surprised that he is the skeptic in this situation. "Yeah, that's about it," Me Nobody says in agreement as another soldier, Sheppard turns to Rome, "You done?" Roman looked up at Sheppard, "No, I'm not done." He turned to Reyna and the team, "So you all wanted me to break into a police station, Fine. Then you ask me to stop at tank, I wasn't happy about it but I did it. Then you came up with this brilliant idea to shoot down one of the largest airplanes... ever. I shot that shit out of the sky. It's nothing. But this right here, my friend, happens to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard in my life."

Tej rolled his eyes before taunting Rome, "I forgot that you were the only one to bring the plane down." Reyna smirked as Brian perked up, "No, no. The only thing I've ever seen him take down is 'No Knees' Denise. Remember, at prom?" Reyna and Benny laughed with Tej and Brian as Rome glared at them. "See, y'all trying to get me off my point. All I'm saying is, I'm tired of everybody around me making all the decisions. This time, I lead. Seriously. If I don't start making decisions, I'm out." Reyna smirked at Rome, "All right, Roman. What do you got?"

Roman looked up at Reyna stunned as everyone turned their gazes to him before he cleared his throat, "I mean, I wasn't trying to get into the whole leadership thing, like, now. You know what I'm saying?" Reyna smiled at him before he sighed, "I was just, kind of, talking about, like, at some point. Like, you know, when we..." They all looked at him expectantly, "Whatever. I mean, I think... Let's hit it from here." Rome pointed at a spot on the map causing Sheppard to protest, "I don't think that that's..."

Rome was quick to respond, "No, no, no, don't think. That's my job." Sheppard looked over at Mr Nobody who shrugged in response. "Okay. It is impossible to hit it there," Sheppard tells him as he walks around the team, "That is literally the most secure spot on the mountain. Why? Because you cannot physically access it." Rome smiled proudly, "See, that's what makes it so sweet. Because it's the place that they least expect us to hit them from." Reyna nodded impressed with it.

Brian nods his head, "As much as I hate to admit it, he's onto something there." Dom looked up at Reyna, "What do you think, Rey?" Reyna pointed to the map as she looked at Rome, "Here?" Rome nods, "Yeah." Reyna looked up at Dom and Brian, "I think we got a plan." Sheppard looks at the team with a confused expression. "Completely wrong thinking," Mr Nobody says with a smile, "And I like it." Sheppard looks up at Mr Nobody shocked as Rome stood proud, "You see? I'm good at this." Reyna, Tej and Brian shared a glance before biting back laughter.

Sheppard looks at Rome, "Good? Okay. How are you planning on getting on that road?" Sheppard zoomed in on the road they needed to be on. Rome looked at the map before looking up, "Well... Tej?" Reyna smiled as she looked at her boyfriend who looked up from his phone, "I think I may actually have a plan for that." He looked at Reyna who smirked while Sheppard looked at Rome. "What? I delegated. That's what good leaders do. Leader!" The team all smiled at Rome as his ego clearly inflated due to the situation and Reyna knew Tej was excited to deflate that idea with a plan.

Mr Nobody leaned towards Reyna, "You know, when I was reading your files, I was impressed with what you've accomplished with your team." They both looked around at the team before he continued, "But meeting them now, I've gotta say, Reyna, you've truly got a gift." Reyna smiles as Mr Nobody starts to walk away, "Consider my workshop your new playhouse. I think you'll find our cars extremely appealing. And your team is now complete." Mr Nobody stops besides Letty who had just been escorted in. Brian points at Letty causing Reyna and Dom to turn around. Dom looked over at her shocked before he approached her with Reyna following behind him stopping a few feet behind them.

"I went to the house," Letty says as she walks over to him, "I was looking for you everywhere. You scared the shit out of me." Letty takes a deep breath as she catches sight of the necklace around Dom's neck. Letty gets a flash of Dom holding the necklace between them as Letty says what seems like vows while Reyna is in the background with a wide smile on her face. "Where did you find that?" Letty asks him once she's relaxed. "Found in Han's car. It was left as a message," Reyna explains to her as she walks the final steps to her, pulling her into a hug, "A message I plan on returning. Can you ride?"

Letty looked at Reyna with a small smile, "Yeah, of course I can. Han was my family, too." The three of them made their way back to the team. "Brian! Ben!" Reyna calls, "Dom. We're gonna need long-travel suspension, limited-slip differentials on all of them." Brian, Rome and Benny hug Letty as Reyna continues walking looking at the cars. "Tej baby," Reyna says as he approaches her, "I want the demon love child between that and that." Reyna points to a Charger then the armored truck.

Tej looked between them before looking back at Reyna, "Bubs, that's a lot of armor. It's just gonna add more weight. Slows you down." Reyna smiled at him, "This time, it ain't about being fast." She turned to look at the team with a proud smile before nodding at them. They all separated to get to work as Tej grabbed Reyna by the waist leaning down to her ear, "You know, it's sexy when you boss everyone around but when you talk about cars, you make it so difficult not to kiss you." Reyna shivered from his warmth breath on her ear before she leaned back and kissed him. Rome looked over and fake gagged, "Come on, stop eating each other's faces. We've got work to do!"
