THIRTY-SIX

"Big Brother's about to go live," Tej says as he sync's with the CCTV's cameras before he, Reyna and Riley look at all of the screens. "Damn, you can't flick a booger in London without somebody noticing," Tej says making Reyna nod in agreement as she kissed Tej's cheek before she made her way over to Dom. Rome then sneaks up behind him before picking up the harpoon gun that Han had brought back. "Hey! Don't touch that. That's nothing to play with, man," Tej scolded Rome like a child.

Rome looked up at Tej, "What's the problem?" Reyna looked up to watch the two interact like childish brothers. "That's high tensile titanium cable," Reyna tells Rome making him look up at her as Tej smiled at her in awe due to her knowledge. "What does that mean?" Rome asks her making her shake her head as she looked down at the papers in front of her. "That's what they use to anchor buildings and hold up bridges, Stuff you know nothing about," Tej explains before taking the harpoon gun from him.

Tej looked down at the gun with wonder, "See, now their version, it works cool but mine, a masterpiece. See, I reversed the gears, torqued the motor, and added this tank to the back." Reyna smiled as Tej explained his adjustments to the harpoon gun, she always admired his intelligence; it is one of the things she loved about Tej. "That makes it even sweeter," Rome says as he takes the gun back from Tej. "It's not dummy-proof," Tej warns Rome making him roll his eyes.

"Man, I've been known to handle big guns. Relax," Rome argues with Tej. "You've been known to handle that big ass head," Tej retorts as Han approaches Dominic and Reyna. "Hey, Rey, Dom," Han says as they turn to him and step up to him, "I did some checking, asked around, got the location of a street race tonight." Reyna and Dom shared a glance as Rome accidentally shoots the gun causing the harpoon to stick in the wall between Han and the two leaders, who turned to glare at him as he shoves the gun into Tej's hands who points childishly at Rome.

Reyna shook her head, "Now that you've shown off the gun endangering everyone. Can we put it out of toddler Rome's reach before he hurts himself." Everyone laughed as Rome was taken back by her words. "Rey, lil' sis... That wasn't nice," Rome tells her with a pout making her roll her eyes as she walked past him, lightly tapping his cheek, "Need a nap, little baby?" Rome rolled his eyes as everyone laughed again at Reyna's teasing towards Rome.

Reyna pulls up beside Dominic at the street race that Han had told them about, "Ready for this?" Dominic nodded at her before looking around. "Dom," Reyna spoke before motioning off towards Letty who was pulling up to the starting line. Dom smiles lightly at Reyna before pulling up next to Letty who turned to see Dom causing her to smirk. "You've got some serious balls, man," Letty tells Dom making him smirk. "I've been told," Dom answers her as he looks at her. "You know, you're lucky I missed my shot," Letty tells him with a serious tone.

Dom looked at him with a genuine expression, "I think you hit your mark." Letty looked at him unsure for a moment, "Really?" Dom nodded at her before she continued, "What is it with you? Do you have a death wish or something?" Dom shrugged slightly, "If that's what it takes. I just want to race." Letty shook her head slightly as she smirked, "You might lose your car." Dom smiled, "Let's do it." Letty shrugged, "Your funeral." Dom looked at her, their eyes making full eye contact as he spoke his next words, "Ride or die, remember?"

Letty froze for a moment, those words stirring something familiar yet foreign in her head. "Listen up!" A lady says as she walks in between Dom and Letty's cars, "Out here, we're used to getting what we want. This is London, baby. But remember, don't bite the bait. Are you ready? Ready?" They both rev their engines to show they were ready. "Steady." She raises her arms. "Go!" Dom takes off in a wheelie as Letty follows behind him. Letty weaves in and out of traffic as Dom tries to get beside her before Dom gets in front of her as they go around a curve.

"Just like old times," Dom says with a smirk as he sees a cop car chasing them. Dom quickly turns his car around causing the cop to swerve and crash. Dom then drives in reverse beside Letty with a smirk before swinging the car around again. "This guy is crazy," Letty says with an impressed smile. Dom gets back in front of Letty as they turn another curve. Letty gets beside Dom as they weave through traffic. Letty uses her NOS to get ahead of Dom but he quickly uses his NOS to get ahead of her and win the race.

Letty motions for Dom to follow her before leading him to an abandoned lot near an overpass, the two talk about their past together learning that Letty had no memories of her past. Letty drives away leaving Dominic standing there as another car approaches him before Owen Shaw gets out of the car. "There she goes leaving you again," Shaw taunts, "Bloody fickle, that one." Dom raises his brow at him, "You want bloody? We could do bloody." Shaw chuckles, "A street kid, stealing DVD players in East L.A, ends up leading a heist for one hundred million in Rio. Or was it the girl?"

Dom stood tall with a smirk, "Not bad, huh?" Owen shrugged, "It's a good story, isn't it?" He stepped forward, "Almost inspiring. See, what I couldn't fathom is why he's not relaxing on a beach somewhere with that Brazilian woman. Or that girl, who has no idea about the truth. Instead, they're working with a two-bit government hack like Hobbs. And then I realized, they both have a weak spot." Dom tensed slightly at the mention of Reyna, "We all got a weak spot."

"You know, when I was young, my brother always used to say, "Every man has to have his code". Mine? Precision," Owen explains to him, "A team is nothing but pieces you switch out until you get the job done. It's efficient. It works. But you?" Owen lets out a chuckle. "You're loyal to a fault. Your code is about family. And that's great in the holidays, but it makes you predictable. And in our line of work, predictable means vulnerable. And that means I can reach out and break you whenever I want." Owen smirks as Dom clenched his jaw.

"At least when I go, I'll know what it's for because, without family, you have nothing," Dom says with a smirk. "Well, at least you have a code. Most people don't," Owen says with a chuckle causing Dom to nod, "So I'm going to give to you a chance. Take your crew and walk away. That's the only way you're going to keep your family safe." Dom scoffed, "Your brother never told you never to threaten a person's family? It's a pretty stupid thing to do." Owen chuckles as Dom continues, "But I'll make it simple for you. We walk away when she walks away."

Owen smirks, "Well, then, it appears this inspiring tale has come to an end." Owen's attention diverts to Dom's chest making him look down to see a red dot from a sniper. "If that's the way it has to go," Dom says with a shrug before glancing at Owen's chest. Owen looks down with a chuckle to find his own red dot targetted straight for his heart, "Let me guess... Hobbs." Dom smirks, "The 'two-bit government hack'." Owen laughs before walking towards his car motioning for his man to leave, "I'll see you around, Toretto." Dom nods, "You can bet on it."

Owen stops for a moment before turning to Dom, "Oh, I almost forgot. Let Reyna know that I'm sorry." Dom furrowed his brows in confusion, "For what?" Owen smirked as he opened the car door. "Her mother and brother didn't deserve to die in that accident, perhaps her father should've listened to the warning. Too bad he suffered in the end too, I wouldn't want Reyna to live the same fate, Toretto." Owen drove off leaving Dom stunned, unsure how he would explain this to Reyna. Thankfully, he wouldn't have to.

However, during Dom's encounter with Letty and Owen; Reyna was back at the race looking around for her brother. She smirked as she watched him pull up to the starting line in a white Toyota Supra, she pulled up next to him in her black Chevy Chevelle SS. Benny turned his head to see who he was racing, his eyes focused on the car recognising the beauty he helped build. "Reyna..." Benny says with annoyance as she smirked. "I'm playing the annoying little sister who doesn't follow her older brothers words, perfectly," Reyna teased making him smile.

She turned to look at him and smiled innocently at the older Roshani making his heart melt. "You still driving imports, brother. That's kind of sad and predictable," Reyna taunted as she revved the engine making him sigh. "This isn't a game, Reyna," Benny warned her making her shrug. "Trust me, Benny. I've faced worse," Reyna winked at him, he shook his head with a smile glad to see his sister happy. "So, are we racing or we talking?" Reyna asks him making him nod in agreement. She took a deep breath before looking at her brother, "Ride or Die, remember?"

Benny tensed for a moment as he looked at her, "Ride or die, little sister." She smiled with watery eyes before focusing on the road ahead of them. The lady walked out, "Ready?" She pointed at Reyna who revved her engine making the crowd cheer before she pointed to Benny, "Ready?" He revved his engine, the two of them sharing a similar smirk in anticipation for the race. "Steady," She raised her arms, Reyna chewed on her lip as Benny tapped on the wheel, his hand hovering above the gear shift. "Go!" Reyna, like Dom, took off into a wheelie making Benny look at her in shock.

She shifted gears getting ahead of Benny easily as they swerved in and out of traffic, Benny kept close behind Reyna stunned by how good of a racer she truly was. He smirked as she swerved to get around a car allowing him to take the lead, smirking at her as he sped past her. She smirked as the sound of sirens began blaring behind them, "This is real racing, brother." She swerved through the cars before letting the back of her car knock the police car sending them into oncoming traffic as she swung her car around, driving backwards.

Benny shook his head at her childish antics as she reversed up beside him with a wide grin on her face making him laugh. She swerved in reverse through the traffic before pulling on the handbrake to swing the car around, getting in front of Benny before stabilizing the car. Benny hit his NOS in an attempt to get ahead of his younger sister, "Too early, brother." Reyna smirked as she hit her NOS flying ahead of him winning the race making her laugh.

He pulled up next to her, "Follow me, we need to talk." Reyna nodded in agreement before following behind him as he led her to a camera blind spot. He got out of his car and leaned against it as Reyna pulled up next to him, she climbed out of her car and leaned against her door so they were facing each other. "You know, I know someone who would greatly appreciate that car. I think you'd both get along," Reyna tells him as he smiles lightly before sighing.

Reyna furrowed her brows, "Ben... What's going on? You were alive this whole time? And you never came home? I needed you..." Benny looked down as he took a deep breath before looking up at his little sister, hurt and betrayal swarming her eyes. "Rey... I'm undercover," Benny answers her making her eyes widen. "You're undercover?! You're a cop?" Reyna asks him as she stands up straight, he nodded before running his hands down his face.

"I've been tasked by a secret division to take down Owen Shaw," Benny told her before grabbing her shoulders, "Reyna... Owen Shaw and his father were responsible for our mother's death, for my death." Reyna froze in place as she looked him in the eyes. "W-what..." Reyna spoke barely above a whisper as her eyes welled up with tears. "I'm sorry, Rey. You needed me and I wasn't there... But I - I needed to do this. You being here isn't safe, Shaw knows who you are. And he wants you dead."
