chapter twenty
Third Person's POV
"What you're looking at is a 5.45 by 18FMJ Spritzer bullet. It's specific to one handgun, USM. Now given that handguns are illegal in the United Kingdom, there's very few people that have access to that firearm. So if somebody wanted to, say, track down where it came from, it wouldn't be too hard." Brian and Britney walked over to Dom and Letty giving him the information that they had found out. Well more like Britney found out and she told her Dad. Britney took a paper out of her back pocket and handed it to Letty. "Me and Dad was a cop, and some habits die hard."
"A pawn shop." Letty said as she was reading the paper.
----
Not much later the four of us were walking through the streets of London looking for the pawn shop that had been on Britney's list. Thankfully, it wasn't raining today, so no one would get wet. They stopped walking once they had found the area the pawn shop was in.
"It's right there." Britney says nudging Dom and nodding towards the sign that said Pawnbroker. The four of them made over to the shop, walking inside. A bell rang as they entered. There were two guys sitting in chairs, waiting in line or something. A guy who looked to be around his early 40s sat behind a window.
"Alright, what do you want?" The man asked Dom as he walked up to the window. Britney could tell that Dom intimidated the owner of the shop. Brian and Britney stood by the door as Letty was right next to Dom.
"They say if someone's looking for a Russian gun, you're the man to see." Letty answered the man's question.
"Oh, they do, do they?" He said in a semi-sarcastic tone. The man glanced over at the two guys that were sitting down on the chairs. The other two guys stood up, walking in front of Brian and Britney as they shared a look.
"What do you want, mate?" The shorter guy came up behind Letty putting his hand on her shoulder. Letty turned around and kicked the guy in the crotch, as the taller guy's eyes widened in shock. He went to go after Letty, but Letty kicked his stomach and then kicked him in the crotch not once but twice, as he then fell to the floor.
Letty and Dom walked over to the shop owner, as Dom puts his hand through the small open space of the window and slammed his face against the side in a threatening manner. The door opened behind Brian and Britney as the bell rang. Brian and Britney both quickly pulled out their guns, aiming it at the guy before he could walk in.
"That might be a bad idea." He told him. The stranger slowly backed away and left. Britney closed the door after him and the two put their guns back between the waistband in their jeans and shorts respectively.
"We're looking for the owner of this." Letty says in a stern tone, as she grabbed the bullet out of Dom's pocket and was now showing the owner it.
"I dunno!" The owner said. Dom and Letty clearly wasn't going to take no for an answer, so Dom slammed the owners face back into the window, showing that they meant business.
"Take a closer look." Letty seethed at the man with pure venom as she banged her hand on the counter, as she narrowed her eyes at the man.
About a week ago, a girl came in asking about everything I had." The owner said in a panicked tone, as Dom and Letty are getting him to talk.
"A girl? What did she look like?" Dom asked him as Brian and Britney walked over standing behind Dom and Letty.
"Tough chick, dark curly hair. Mean streak. Word is, she's a street racer." The guy explained as it didn't take the four's brains long enough to think who it was.
Desiree.
"Where can we find her?" Letty asked him as she put the bullet that was in Dom's pocket in his hand.
"How do I know?! Do I look like a racer?!" He asked in a annoyed tone. Letty cocked an eyebrow at him, ready to make a remark at him but instead, Dom slammed the guys head into the window so hard that it knocked him out.
"Nah, you don't." Dom said even though he was passed out. Since they got their answer, they decided to leave. Dom walked out of the pawn shop, with Brian and Britney following in suit. However when Letty walked out she flipped the little red open to closed.
"Take care guys." Letty told the three guys as she walked towards the three other people.
----
Once they got back they found ten beautiful cars waiting for them in the main area of the home base. Dom was revving the engine of one of the cars when Han, Roman and Gisele walked in. Gisele, and the two men seemed a bit beaten up.
"What the hell happened?" Britney asked the trio.
"We met Dom's niece. She's...friendly." Gisele told them, as her voice was full of sarcasm.
"Tej what do you got? Talk to us?" Lindsey asked as Hobbs nodded his head.
"We went through all of it." Tej says talking about the video footage from the night of the raid. "Believe it or not, everywhere Shaw's team is, the cameras are down."
"Well, fuck." Lindsey says as she puts her hair up in a tight bun.
"That's a hell of a coincidence." Hobbs said, folding his arms over his chest. "Alright, we're going to pay CCTV a little visit. Let's role." Hobbs says to Lindsey.
"What is that?" Tej asked referring to the strange looking gun that Han had set down on the table next to Tej and Tyler.
"That is a new toy for you." Han told him grabbing his jacket off the table.
"So what happened?" Dom finally asked him leaning against the white car in front of him as Britney was pacing back and forth.
"Shaw's crew showed up and started shooting up the place." Han answered Dom. Gisele turned to face everyone with a cell phone in hand. "But we've got something big." She added looking at Dom, Letty, Brian and Britney.
"What?" Letty asked her pushing herself off against the white car that she was leaning on beside Dom.
"Braga." Gisele said and as soon as those words left Gisele's mouth Britney's heart stopped for a moment her eyes going wide. "He's working with Shaw." She added tossing the phone on the table.
"What are you talking about?" Brian asked in a tone of disbelief.
"It's true." Han told him. "The phone's filled with coded payment transactions that lead straight to Braga's cartel." He added putting his hands in his pockets.
"Who the hell is Braga?" Roman asked looking around us for an answer.
"He ran one of the biggest cartel's in Mexico." Britney answered, glancing over at Dom.
"And my bold boss." Gisele paused. "We used codes just like that to transfer the money to the country."
"Well it makes sense. Braga was runnin' Desiree, now he's working with Shaw to explain how the two of them met." Brian said seeming tense.
"Okay, so y'all know all this information about him, where do we find him?" Tyler asked.
"He's sittin' in a prison in Los Angeles." Brian and Britney say in unison.
"How do you two know that?" Tej asked as Britney sighed as he finally stopped pacing back and forth.
"Dad put him there." Britney told him, everyone stayed silent as if in shock.
"Alright, so this is the break we've been looking for. If the two of them are working together, Braga will know what Shaw's up to. I'm gonna pay him a visit." Brian explained as Britney shot him a look.
"Are you serious right now? Think about what you're saying. You're wanted Brian. The moment you step foot off that plane, it's a wrap." Roman said trying to knock some sense into Brian. "You're not comin' back!"
"Comin' back? How the hell you gon' get into the country?" Tej asked in a confused tone.
"Let me worry about that." Brian told him walking over to Dom. "This is on me. I'm the one who served her up to Braga, I'm the one that gets to make it right. I'm going to make it right." He said quietly, as Britney continues to look at her father knowing what is going to happen if he leaves to get Braga.
"Be careful." Dom told Brian as Britney clenched her fists feeling a rush of anger.
"You've got to be kidding me." Britney muttered angrily walking over to her and her father's room for the time being. Once she got into the room, she ran her hands over her face sighing.
"Brit..." She heard Brian's voice from behind her. She sighed again. She heard his footsteps come closer, but she just stood there, not knowing what to say. "C'mon, talk to me baby." Britney turned around with her arms crossed.
"Are you insane?" She asked not really trying to keep her cool right now.
"Brit, I'm going to be okay, I promise you." He said in a calming voice as she looked up at him.
"But what if you're not? What if the plan you have doesn't work? What if they keep you there and I can never seen you again? I can't lose you Dad." Britney says with tears forming in her eyes as she doesn't want her father to do this.
"That's not gonna happen." He said simply shaking his head giving her a sympathetic look.
"You don't know that though." She told him.
"And you don't either. Look, Brit." He paused grabbing her hand making her look at him. "I'm going to talk to Stasiak, see if he can do this for me. He owes me. I will come back to you. I promise that." She looked down as more tears started forming in her eyes as Brian knew that look.
Brian put his thumb under her chin making her look up at him. "I was an agent too. I did the same shit you did. I know the dangers of what the fuck is going to happen next."
"Don't do this Brit. You're not coming." Brian told her as he knew what she was going to do. She's trying to get him to give in to her.
"Then you're not going." Britney says crossing her arms over her chest, as Brian sighed before nodding his head as Britney's smile grew on her face.
"Bingo." She says as Brian just shook his head at her.

Tyler's POV
"Big brother's about to go live." Tej informed them, turning around in his swirly chair as Brian and Britney had already left. "Damn, you can't even flick a bugger in London without someone noticing."
"Hey! Don't touch that!" I warned Roman, quickly getting up from her seat beside her father. Looking over to see what exactly Roman was touching. He held the large gun-like thing that Han had brought over to Tej after they got attacked by Shaw's crew. "That's nothin' to play with."
"What's the problem?" Roman asked lowering the gun as Marilyn raised an eyebrow wondering how this scene would play out.
"That's hi-tinsel titanium cable." I told Roman as if it was the most obvious thing.
"What does that mean?" Roman asked, glancing over down at the large gun in his hands.
"That's what they used to anchor buildings and hold up brides, stuff you know nothing about. See now they version, it looks cool. But mine? Masterpiece. See, I reversed the gears, torqued the modem. And I added this tank to the bank." I finished explaining pulling part of the gun showing a NOS tank on the back.
"That makes it even better." Roman says trying to grab it out of my hands.
"It does." I said. Roman aimed the gun into the distance. "It's not dummy proof!" A laugh escaped from Marilyn's lips.
"Man, I been known to handle big guns, relax." Roman informed me.
"You've been known to handle that big ass head." I say to him earing a laugh from Marilyn. Right as I blinked I heard a quick and loud noise, causing me to jump. I looked and saw that Roman had shot the gun-thing.
I looked down to see where he had shot it and sure enough, the cable was hooked into the wall. Coincidentally, Han and Dom were talking to each other, the part of the wall that Roman hit was between them. The look that Dom was giving Roman made me want to burst out into laughter.
Roman's eyes went wide as he quickly handed the gun to me, making it seem as if he didn't do it. Gisele walked over, probably wondering what the hell just happened. I just pointed at Roman while Roman looked around trying to act normal.
----
Throughout the time that Brian and Britney had been gone, we've basically been staying low. We've only gotten a tad bit closer with taking down Shaw. Dad was able to track down Shaw but only to an extent. He's smart, and he knows his ways around the city. He's always one step ahead of us. Hobbs and Lindsey ended up finding some paint at Shaw's place which was empty.
Dad did a run for it, and it's highly specialized and not a lot of people have access to it. It's military paint. Dad found out that Shaw is headed to a Naval base in Spain, so everyone's getting ready to head out. Although, Dom and Letty don't want to leave without Brian and Britney. Who knows when they're coming back.
"You son of bitch! You two made it!" I heard Roman exclaim excitedly.
"Aye man, good to see you two." I heard Dad say as I looked over and saw Dom smiling.
"You too. So what's goin' on here?" I heard Brian say as it meant one thing. Him and Britney are back.
"We figured out they hittin' any army base in Spain. Border Patrol ID'd one of Shaw's men crossin' through last night." Dad explained as I leaned against one of the pillars with a large grin on my face.
"Hobbs and Lindsey went to lock down the base. They're gonna meet us there." Han added on.
"Where's Dom?" Britney asked, as I smiled as they didn't notice I was here, I pushed myself off the pillar and walked towards the group.
"He didn't want to leave without you." I said as Britney smiled at seeing me. She ran towards me and engulfed me into a tight bone crushing hug. "You really missed me, didn't you?"
"She was worried about you the entire time that we were gone." Brian says which made me smile brightly at hearing that.
"Okay, little help." I croaked out as Brit slowly let go of me as I inhaled and exhaled a breath to get my breathing back.
Brian and Britney walked to where Dom was standing with Letty in his arms as he's telling him it's going to be okay, as he has his arms on her waist. She kissed his cheek and she turned around and saw Brian and Britney. Dom and Letty leaned against his red 1969 Charger Daytona.
"I found out what happened to Desiree." Brian said to Dom, as I looked up at him to see what he had to say. "It's all my fault." He added, as I looked down to my feet.
"Brian, whatever you two found out, that's for you. What we're about to do now...that's for her." Dom says in a sympathetic tone, as I heard them exchange a few more words before Dom went off to go get his bags so we all could leave for Spain.
"Dad it's not our fault." Britney says quietly once Dom left, he looked at her.
"If I hadn't let Desi, go with Braga, this would never have happened." Brian says looking down and sighing.
"Desi's a stubborn person, and you can't make her do anything she doesn't want to do. I promise it's not your fault, it's not her's either." Letty says trying to make Brian feel better. He looked at her.
"Thanks, Letty." Brian says to her as she brings him into a hug which he hugged her back.
"Always." Letty says breaking the hug between her and Brian.

Third Person's POV
No more than three hours later, the crew was on a large airplane headed over towards Spain. All of their cars were in the plane with them, and they were in the same are that the cars were. Tej walked over to where mostly everyone was standing. "I just got word that they caught one of Shaw's men at the base." He informed us all. "It's time." He added.
"Somethin's not right. He wanted us to find that guy." Brian said pushing himself off his car that he was leaning on. "Think about it. Interpol, you're face-to-face with him."
"Brian, so what are you saying?" Marilyn asked as Han and Gisele walked over to the group, his arms folded against his chest.
"Braga said the only way you get near Shaw, is if he wants you to." Britney explained further, as Tyler nodded her head.
"Dad, where's that component?" Tyler asked him, as all of the attention was directed towards Tej.
"They're moving it to a secure location." Tej answered.
"Shaw isn't hitting that base." Britney stated as everyone in the group exchanged glances. "He's hittin' the convoy."
-----
Immediately after they found the location of the convoy, Tyler told the pilot where we needed to be dropped off. All of them got into their cars and raced down the highway in hopes that they would reach the convoy before Shaw did. Britney drove in a Blue Nissan Skyline GT34.
"Guys, you better hurry up, they just took the convoy." Tyler's voice came through the comm in Britney's ear. They had all been given one like the times before. Han and Gisele were with Tyler and Tej but they'll be driving their motorcycles not cars. "And Dom...Desiree's with them."
"We stick to the plan." Dom informed them. Roman, Brian, Dom, and Britney sped down the highway still no sign of the convoy.
"Alright, you heard the man. Let's play this fast and clean, that things headin' your way." Tej told them. The four drove in silence for a brief moment before Tyler spoke up.
"Uh guys...we need to come up with another plan...They got a tank." Tyler says in a distressed voice.
(just pretend that it's Tyler not Tej)
"I'm sorry, d-did somebody just say a tank?" Roman asked, as Britney's eyes widened. She looked to her left to see that there was in fact a tank up ahead on the opposite side of the highway.
"Fuck." Britney yelled, jumping in her seat, when a shot was fired from the tank headed towards us. Thankfully it missed and hit the land next to us.
"So who's got a plan B?" Roman asked into the walkie talkie, as Britney rolled her eyes.
"Plan B? Are you crazy?!" Tyler questions the man.
"We need a plan B, C, D, E... We need more alphabets!" Tej frantically spoke into the walkie-talkie. Britney tried her hardest not to laugh but then again she laughs when she's not supposed to be laughing as she couldn't help herself.
"Hey! We do what we do best; we improvise! Alright!" Brian said trying to calm him down. Right after Brian finished speaking Dom quickly turned and drove through the open space of the concrete highway barriers.
Roman, Brian and Britney quickly followed in suit. Britney made sure that there was no one coming in the lane next to her, before speeding off into it and cutting a few people off in order to try and catch up to this damn tank.
As they inched closer and closer to the tank, they spread out more. Right as they got close, the tank took a sharp right, crushing some of the concrete barriers and sped off onto the opposite side of the road, where they had just came from, the tank crushing some oncoming cars in the process.
Britney's jaw dropped, but she refrained from losing focus as she drove behind Roman. Roman quickly turned following the tracks of the tank as Britney did the same hoping Shaw wouldn't turn the tank to the other side again.
The tank kept smashing into cars, killing innocent people, only making hate for Shaw increase by the second. "Take the attention away from the people!" Dom instructed.
As Britney tried to think of a plan, Roman kept trying to get in front of the tank, only to have to get back behind it due to oncoming traffic. Once there was an opening long enough to do so, he quickly sped up and got in front of the tank.
When another shot was fired from the tank, Britney slammed down on the gas peddle, racing side-by-side next to the tank. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Roman was still okay. However, the tank rammed into the back of his car several times, but it wasn't enough to crush the car.
"Roman, you hang in there! Hang in there man!" Brian's worried voice came through the walkie-talkie. Britney had to slow down and get behind the tank since there was a car coming towards her.
"Somebody better do somethin'! I got a tank on my ass!" Roman panicked.
"There's gotta be a break up ahead. Just tail the tank until Brian or I get over there." Dom says to Britney who nodded her head. Another shot was fired from the tank, but this time, it was at the bridge that they were approaching.
Britney stepped on the gas peddle harder, driving side-by-side with the tank again, only to see her Dad's car drive over part of the debris that acted as a ramp.
Britney got focused back on Roman who was basically standing on top of his car, that was now slowly being run over by the tank. Brian's car came to a quick stop, so Britney slammed on the brakes, but pressed down on the gas peddle when she saw that her Dad's car was still moving.
As if Britney couldn't be more shocked Roman jumped from his car onto Brian's hanging onto the sides like his life depended on it. They switched lanes, as Britney followed in suit.
"You alright, Italy?" Britney asked Roman into the walkie-talkie once she saw that Roman had managed to climb into Brian's car sitting in the passenger seat.
"Yeah, I'm good....what the fuck did you call me?" Roman asked Britney as she smiled at the question.
"Rome...Italy...nevermind." Britney as the tank bumped into Britney's car making her lose control a little but she managed to regain her control back. "Little shit. That fucking thing hit me."
"Then give it a piece of Britney Olivia O'Conner's mind then." Roman suggested to Britney as she pressed a button and the sunroof of the car lowered.
"Already on it, Italy." Britney says as she grabbed a machine gun that was for emergencies only as told by Gisele.
"Britney! No! Don't do it!" Brian yelled in his walkie-talkie even if there was no use of trying to stop his daughter.
"Can't I just have a little fun while I'm on vacation." Britney says to her Dad as she aims the gun at the window of the tank, as she closed one eye. Just then she pulled the trigger on the gun and a gunshot was heard.
"Fuck!" A guys' voice could be heard from inside of the tank but it wasn't Shaw's voice. It was...Brett.
"Brett! Get out of there!" Britney shouted to Brett, as Roman and Brian shared a look at what she said.
"Oh this is nice a pretty blonde shot my father's tank. How convenient, Desiree said you'd do it." Brett says as that made Britney lose focus as Brett mentioned Desiree. Just then Brett shot her hand which made her drop the gun as she then fell, and wasn't able to catch herself.
"Britney!!!" Marilyn shouted at Britney as she saw her fall. "Guys Brit fell, that bastard shot her. I can't reach her."
Tyler turned around and grabbed a grappling hook gun that she had and aimed it at Britney. "Grab on!" Tyler shouted to her friend, as Britney lifted her hand just barely grabbing on to the grappling hook but she still managed to lift her hand a little more and she grabbed it as she was swinging from the grappling hook as blood was falling from her hand where Brett had shot her at.
The tank was still trailing with Roman's now completely smashed up Mustang. "Brian that Mustang'll make a nice anchor." Marilyn says with a huge grin on her face.
"On it Mari." Brian responded before speeding up and basically pushing the flattened Mustang as he drove. Brian rammed into it a few times, it almost making it over the edge of the bridge they were now on, but it wouldn't budge.
Brian slammed against it once more and it slid across the railing of the bridge. Marilyn sped up and hit where the bumper used to be and that alone sent it flying down below the bridge. Marilyn smiled to herself.
Her smile faded quickly when she saw Desiree on top of the tank, heading towards the gun of it. She was going to try and unhook the tank from the Mustang. Marilyn could see Dom wasn't too far up ahead, and he was driving in line with the tank even though it was on the opposite side of the bridge.
Instead of concrete barrier's separating each side, there's at least three feet of open land with at least a fifty foot plunge into the water below them. While Desiree was still on top of the tank, inching towards the gun. Brett was controlling the tank's gun and moved it so it was facing Dom's Charger. Dom opened his car door and hold onto it as he continued to drive.
He screamed Desiree's name just as the tank began to flip over, causing Desiree to fly of it. Marilyn slammed on her brakes, her heart coming to a stop and her jaw dropped. Dom's car hit the side of the railing, sending him flying towards Desiree. He caught her in mid-air as they just barely landed on a car on the other side of the road. Marilyn sighed in relief blinking back the tears in her eyes.
Mari fumbled with the seat belt with her shaky hands, finally getting it off. She opened her car door and quickly got out of it, not bothering to close the door behind her as she ran over to Brian and her Dad.
Marilyn quickly did a quick inspection on her father to make sure that he was okay, he could see the panicked look on her face, as he brought her into a hug which she didn't refuse. She just wanted to make sure that her Dad was okay, as it will calm her down.
Then she directed her attention to Dom and Desiree, who was laying on the hood of the car they had fallen on. They stayed there for a brief moment, recovering from the fall, as Letty stood a few feet from the two. She smiled as tears were filling her eyes at seeing her niece. Brian put an arm around Mari's shoulders, pulling her to him.
"Where's Brit?" Mari asked Brian as he pointed to where, Tej and Tyler were as she wasted no time of ripping her out of Brian's grip to go to her best friend as her father let her go and get her Britney.
One thing that Roman had knew about both Britney and Mari is that they're basically carbon copies of Dom and Brian. Britney is like Brian and Mari is like Dom.
When Mari was to where Britney was she engulfed her best friend into a bone breaking hug as she cried as Britney's eyes slowly opened as she was adjusting her eyes to the smoke filled sky, as she hugged Mari back.
But what they didn't know was that Shaw had more up his sleeve. It was going to rock everyone's world.
