NINE
One Year Later...
-MIAMI, FLORIDA-
Reyna laid back on the bed staring up at the ceiling, she was wide awake and wasn't entirely sure what to do. She heard the door open, Amira walked in with a couple bags of groceries. "Any plans for tonight?" Amira questioned Reyna who grunted in response, Amira rolled her eyes before grabbing her phone. "There is a race in like ten minutes, perhaps Coyote should show up as a surprise?" Reyna sat up with a smirk before walking over to Amira, "And this is why I love you!" Reyna hugged Amira before grabbing her keys and heading out the door.
Reyna got into her Firebird and followed the directions Amira had sent her, a wide grin on her face as she pulled up. The crowd moved out of the way as the crowd chanted, "Coyote! Coyote! Coyote!" Reyna lowered her window and waved her hand out signalling she was down to race. A guy approached her, "Thirty-five large, can you handle that Coyote?" Reyna smirked as she grabbed the cash and handed it over.
She pulled up next to Suki and the skyline, the driver she knew as Bullet. Her senses power in overdrive as she focuses on the road, her heart races in preparation for the drive. She waits until the word "Go", taking a moment to look at the other drivers, she smirks at the sight of Brian O'Connor, who had a surprised expression rested on his face.
The cars set off, Brian and Reyna were neck and neck with Suki not too far behind. Reyna smiled over at Brian before hitting her NOS, just as she reached the bridge she noticed it left ever so slightly. Although Reyna liked the thrill of it, she had just fixed up her car. The tan car went over the lift, Brian hit his NOS flying over the top of him before landing. Reyna followed suit leaving the crowd stunned as her car hit the road again putting her in second place.
She pulled up next to Brian as he collected his money, she took a moment to check over her car as Brian approached her. "It's been a while, huh?" Brian says as he rubs the back of his neck, unsure of how she'd respond. Reyna turned to Brian with a blank expression as she stepped forward, "You're all good, Bullet." She smiled as he pulled her into a hug, she let her eyes wander landing on a guy with an afro. He was already looking at her making her blush slightly as she pulled back from Brian.
Brian looked at her car before smiling, "When am I gonna see you behind the wheel of an import?" Reyna laughed at his question before shaking her head, "Not anytime soon, Buster." Brian shook his head before looking over and seeing the same woman he saw earlier. "She caught your eye, huh? Go talk to her," Reyna smirked as Brian approached the woman, sirens are suddenly heard causing a panic in the crowd.
Reyna jumped into her car and sped off, drifting down the road until she was cornered by cop cars. She slammed her hands on the wheel in frustration as the officers approached her demanding her to get out of the car. The officers arrested her and took her to the police station, leaving her to sit in the interrogation room. Reyna shook her head knowing they would impound the car and the likelihood of getting it back was low. Reyna knew one thing for sure in this moment, she was known as a member of the Toretto crew and that meant; she was screwed.

Reyna leaned back in her seat as an older gentleman walked in, "Miss Roshani. I am Agent Bilkins and I want to offer you something." Reyna's brows lifted in surprise as she leaned forward in her seat, "And what would that be?" Bilkins sat down in the chair opposite her with a file in hand, he placed it in front of her. "We are currently working a case with the hopes to take down a powerful man known as Carter Verone," Bilkins spoke as he opened the file revealing his photo.
Reyna looked at the image knowing who the guy was, "And how does this involve me?" Bilkins sighed, "We need you to go undercover and get close to him, along with working with our other agents in the process." Reyna leaned back in her seat as she messed with the hem of her shirt, "And then I get a full pardon?" Bilkins nodded in response before standing up. "I'm in then," Reyna spoke quickly getting a smile from Bilkins. "C'mon, you've gotta meet our other agent you'll be working with. She'll handle things from there," Bilkins spoke as he uncuffed her.
The two made their way out of the interrogation room and towards an office with another man and a woman, the woman was familiar to Reyna and she quickly realised it was the girl that Brian had his eyes on. Still a buster, Reyna thought to herself at the realisation that Brian is possibly in the same building somewhere. "Miss Roshani, meet Agent Markham and Agent Fuentes. You will be working with her undercover." Bilkins spoke as Reyna shook their hands.
They all sat down, "Carter has organised for me to hire someone in the racing world, he needs some drivers. You are gonna be that connection who found our drivers, Carter will need to trust you so he'll know your true identity and your criminal history." Agent Fuentes says as she handed over some files, "You need to read through these and you should be all ready for this, I'm Monica by the way." Reyna nodded at her before reading the files as Markham and Bilkins walked out to speak with Brian.

Brian and his friend, Roman Pearce are led into a warehouse as an Orbit Express truck is backed inside. The two of them glanced at each other before focusing on Agent Markham, "Brian O'Connor, Roman Pearce, meet Monica Fuentes and Reyna Roshani." Brian's eyes widened for a moment at the sight of Reyna while she smirked smugly. "Do they have a background on Verone?" Monica asks as she and Reyna approach them. "They've been briefed," Bilkins responded sending a small reassuring smile to Reyna.
Reyna stepped forward, "Good. All right, here's the deal. Verone's looking for drivers. I've arranged for both of you to join up. I've also hired some thugs. You know, to make it legit." She smirked at Brian, "So I hope you got what it takes, you know. I've seen how you drive." She winked at him before standing with Monica getting a quizzical gaze from Roman who raised a brow at Brian. "When do we start?" Roman asks as he keep his eyes on Reyna.
Reyna smiled, "Right now." Brian looked from Monica to Reyna as he crossed his arms against his chest. "What are we driving?" Brian asks before the covers on the two cars in the room are removed making Brian and Roman look over, Brian noticing the look of playful annoyance on Reyna's face she sent his way. "Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Don't even think about takin' the convertible. It might loosen your mousse," Roman taunted playfully making Brian laugh as Reyna smiled at his excitement.
"No, that's cool. That's too much chrome for me anyway," Brian says as he looked over the other car, Reyna shook her head slightly as Roman turned to them, "Damn! Where ya'll confiscate these rims from, man?" Reyna rolled her eyes as she looked at Markham, "My damn garage." Roman and Brian looked at Reyna as Markham sheepishly smiled, Monica placed her hand on Reyna's shoulder. The two girls had grown close these past few days dealing with Carter's toxic behaviour and Reyna was heavily on edge.
Bilkins, wanting to calm the situation, turned to Brian, "Check in with us after you meet him. Keep an eye on Reyna, she's... on edge." Bilkins said the last part specifically to him. Brian nodded before looking over at Reyna who was talking with Monica, "I got it Bilkins." Markham approached Reyna and Monica, "You think you're gonna have any problems with these two knuckleheads?" Reyna smirked playfully, "I can handle 'em. Trust me." Monica nodded in agreement as Reyna looked over at Brian.
Markham nodded, "They give you any trouble at all, you let me know." Monica smiled, "Thanks Markham." The girls made their way towards the boys who were waiting by the cars. "I'll ride with you, cowboy," Monica says to Brian with a smile as Reyna playfully winked at Brian. "Why she gotta ride with you?" Roman says as he looks at Monica, Reyna scoffed before looking at Roman, "Guess I'm riding with you then, handsome." Roman looked back at Reyna and smiled, "A'right, I like that." The two of them got into the car.

Reyna sighed as she leaned back in the seat, "Turn right here." Roman looked over at Reyna, "So how do you know Brian?" She turned her head to him with a small smile. "We've got history," Reyna spoke as Roman continued to stare at her. "You may wanna look at the road," Reyna says unbothered by the risky situation putting her full trust in Roman. "What? You think we're gonna crash?" Roman asks as he sped up a little bit making Reyna's smile widen, "I'm doubting it." Roman smirked as the car came to a stop.
Reyna chuckled quietly as Roman looked over at Brian and Monica, "He did the 'stare and drive' on you, didn't he?" Roman asks as Reyna smirked at them. "He got that from me," Roman states making Reyna laugh. "That makes sense, Brian lacks originality," Reyna taunted making Brian look at her with an offended look as Roman laughed, "I like you girl, gotta keep you around." Reyna winked at Roman before smiling innocently at Brian who couldn't help but smile back seeing her in a good mood.
Reyna turned to look at Roman, "once we get in here, you're on your own. So good luck because they are... fucking irritating." Reyna spoke as she took a deep breath. Roman looked at her, his playful nature fading slightly as he spoke, "Hey, if they give you trouble, let me know and I'll handle it. Alright, firecracker?" Reyna smiled and nodded. "I definitely like you more than Brian," Reyna says making Roman cheer happily, his playful nature returning as she got out of the car.
Monica approaches Carter's thugs, "Roberto, Enrique, I need pictures of the drivers, their license plates, their cars and anything else you can find." Reyna and Monica head inside, "Carter, drivers are here." Carter stood with a smile, "Good. Come on." Carter approached the girls, slapping them both on the ass causing Reyna to take a deep breath as she side-glanced Monica before following him out to the drivers.
Carter looked around at the driver's judging them as Reyna and Brian share a gaze, "Thank you for coming on such short notice. My red Ferrari was confiscated yesterday, and it sits in an impound lot in little Haiti. It's about twenty miles from here. The car isn't important, what is important is the package I left in the glove box." Carter smirked as he continued, "The first team back here with the package will have an opportunity to work for me." Reyna crossed her arms against her chest.
The drivers looked at each other until one spoke up, "What? We gotta audition?" Carter rolled his eyes as he responded, "Nobody's got a gun to your head. That's it." Carter walked off back inside as Reyna stepped forward, "Driver's licenses. Pass 'em up." She shakes her head, "Before Christmas, guys." She impatiently snatches the last drivers license. "Go!" Roberto orders once they've collected the licenses.
Reyna typed into the computer, "What do we got?" Carter questioned as Reyna showed Carter the profiles of the drivers, Roman's showing on screen as he read through it. "That's good. Show me his partner." Reyna pulled up Brian's profile, "Juvie record for popping cars. Two years in J.D, then another year for aiding and abetting an armed robbery. He's clean. Dirty but clean." She had to fight the smirk of her profile creation for the guys.

The girls followed Carter outside to meet with Brian and Roman. "Hey, man, you got somethin' to eat up in there? We hungry," Roman says as Brian handed over the package to Carter, Reyna tried her best to hide the playful smirk on her face. "Sit 'em by the pool," Carter ordered Monica before he walked off. "Nice," Reyna complimented the boys as the girls walk ahead of the guys, Reyna adjusted her high waisted shorts and her cropped shirt.
Brian's eyes were on Monica while Roman was checking out Reyna, "What you checkin' her out for?" Roman asks Brian finally taking his eyes off Reyna. "I'm not checking her out," Brian argued back before Reyna and Monica left them at the table. "Yes, you were," Roman argued back looking from the girls to Brian. "No, I wasn't," Brian shook his head, "You were checkin' out Reyna." Roman shook his head, "I seen you checkin' her out, man." Roman avoided Brian's accusation.
Brian looked at the girls as they began walking back towards them, "Okay, I was. Now shut up!" Roman rolled his eyes, "You shut up. Don't tell me to shut up." Reyna shook her head as she and Monica sat down, "Both of you girlies, shut up." Reyna says with a smirk. "You sure are cozy in this big ol' mansion. Sleepin' with the enemy," Romans says as Reyna leaned back in her seat while Monica takes a sip of her drink. Monica waved at Carter with a smile as he walked over to them, Reyna was so ready for this job to be over.
