In fact He's Gonna Beg Me

"So what are you doing here, cop?" Dom's not surprised that Hobbs is on his veranda but he is surprised that he hasn't tried to slap cuffs on his wrist.

"Last Tuesday, a team of highly coordinated drivers took down an entire military convoy in Russia."

"I don't do cold weather."

"I know it wasn't you. But you're gonna help me catch the team responsible." The barrel of a gun clicks behind Hobbs and he's sure it's Elena.

"And you ain't gonna need that." Hobbs stays calm.

"You can't touch him, Hobbs. You got no powers-"

"I'm not here to extradite anyone. See, he's gonna come voluntarily. As a matter of fact, he's gonna beg me." Dominic Toretto's eyebrow perked at the statement. Looking cautiously at Hobbs as he handed him the yellow folder he wondered what if anything would make him work with this man.

"This was taken a week ago."

He opened it and there on in black and white was the one thing that would make him do anything in the world.

"It's Letty, isn't it?" His eyebrows knitted at the image of her and the thought that she could be alive.

"It's impossible." Were the only words he could let out.

Elena probably knew as much as Dom wanted to believe in the photo he couldn't because of her. He wouldn't want to put an end to whatever it was they had that was keeping them together. But if Letty was alive, there was no them. Elena knew that even if Dom couldn't tell her.

"If that was my husband, if there was a chance, no matter how small; I would go." Elena assured him hoping that his choice would be accepted. But there was never a choice of whether he would go; there was no choice when it came to Letty.

Brian was right. Rio didn't feel like home. None of it, they had been away from home for so long and there seemed to be no sight of them returning at all. For Dom, home was a pipe dream. Letty knew that and was down to make his pipe dream hers. Despite how far away from home they were, Letty made wherever they were feel like home. She was his home. Maybe Letty would be able to make him feel at home again.

"What's up? What's going on with you?" Dom passes him the envelope he got from Hobbs.

"Taken a week ago." Dom tells him as he pulls out the photo. Her face makes his chest tighten in sorrow and regret. No, it can't be.

"You know, I used to do this shit all the time when I was a cop. This is exactly what cops do. He's messing with your head." Brian shakes his head in denial. He knew what he did was wrong, putting Letty in with Braga, hell it haunted him every time he looked at Dom. But for as much guilt he held, he couldn't let his friend get used.

"Letty's dead, Dom." The words were bitter to say but he had to.

"I need to know for sure." Dom told him.

"Then I'm going with you."

Stronger together. What Mia said was true, they were stronger together and that reassured Dom that what they would do would definitely bring Letty back.

Dom look out at the London skyline and thought about Letty. How long had she been there? What was she doing? Why hadn't she come and find him like she did all those other times? As

Hobbs walked off the elevator Dom felt the anticipation of catching the bad guy, getting answers and his girl.

"Moscow, Berlin, New Delhi and that was just in two weeks. I've been chasing Shaw through 4 continents and 12 countries and each time he has slithered away." The team had united with just a phone call. As Rome looked to Tej and Tej to Gisele everyone questioned whether they were seriously about the work with the guy who wanted them put behind bars.

"What's he after?"

"He's gathering all the materials to build a nightshade device?"

"Which is?" Gisele asks.

"A tech bomb, designed to block an entire military communication grid for 24 hours. Blind a soldier for a single second in the middle of a fight and he dies. If you blind a country for 24 hours, the loss of life is unthinkable. This could be worth billions to the right buyer."

"Billions?" Tej questioned.

"Why don't we just steal that shit?" Tej joked even though everyone knew he was serious.

"I want you to help me catch Shaw. He only has two pieces left to build the device and I intend on stopping him before he gets them. Now, I know you guys are a family so I'm offering you a chance right now to make that family whole again." With that Hobbs throws the photo of Letty onto the table for everyone to see. Once more the photo makes Brian uncomfortable. Nothing would change if after this they all go back into hiding. Something needed to change, if anyone for Letty.

"You wanna make this family whole again?" Brian asks. "You get us to Letty. We get you Shaw. Full pardons all the way around."

"I can't promise you that." Hobbs shakes his head.

"Yes, you can." Brian says.

"That's the deal. Take it or leave it." Dom moves next to Brian and tells Hobbs.

"You get me Shaw, and I'll get your pardons." Hobbs agreed.

As if on cue, Hobbs's new partner walks in hauling important cargo.

"Everything go smooth?" He asks her noticing how she looks a little roughed up.

"Yea, I'm good." She assured him her grip her perp's handcuffs tighter. He flinches.

"This is Riley Hicks, my new partner." Hobbs introduced her. She and the guys share a distant head nod.

"And this is local street race organizer, David Mosey." Dom instantly takes a step to him. Regardless of where, Letty was sure to find a street race. Dom could tell that he knew her.

"He give anything up?" Hobbs asks Hicks.

"Nope, saved the fun part for you." She smiled pushing the guy towards Hobbs. At his build, David stumbles back. He tries to run but bumps into Dom, another guy with a big build and bald head.

"I didn't do shit." He stutters turning from both guys that seem to close in on him. Still Hobbs moves towards him and he freezes. Hobbs big hand reaches towards him and he flinched bracing for the pain to come. Instead what comes is the relief of his wrists being released from the handcuffs.

"You run the racing scene out here, right?" Hobbs asks.

"No." He denies on instinct. He quickly rethinks his answer as the msucles in Hobbs's oily arm flex. "Yes."

"Good. So here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna take your phone and call Letty." Hobbs hands him his iPhone from Tej.

"You know her, right?" Dom asks although he knows the answer.

"No." He lies again. He gives Dom a once over as well and regrets it. "Yes."

"Call her. Tell her you have some people she'll wanna meet." Dom looks over at Brian who gives him a knowing nod. "Tonight."

"What do you want with Letty?" David can't help but ask. In the streets loyalty is thicker than blood and the last thing he wants to do is turn her in to the Feds.

"We wanna help her." Gisele says from the platform. David is unsure but the raging testosterone coming from the two buff dudes next to him persuasion enough.

"Tej?"

"We're ready to trace the call."

As soon as David dials her number the wallpaper for his phone jumps on a screen. Two kids, a boy and a girl with curly brown hair and a gummy smiles

The phone goes to voicemail so the trace is useless.

"Hey, Letty!" Tej flinches at how unnatural he sounds. Roman thinks about how they're definitely gonna get caught.

"It's David. You coming out tonight? 43rd and Westinghouse. I got some people here who think they can take you. Very deep pockets. Come through. Bye." David sighs once the call is disconnected.

"Good job." Hicks told David. "Drink this and calm down. Job's not over yet."

At that, David sank into a stool chair and did as he was told.

"Cute kids." Brian walked over and told David as he took a sip of his soda. He nodded to the image of the two kids still on the screen.

"Thanks. Baby momma's crazy but when she does let me see Jace, I make it count."

"And your daughter?"

"She's not mine." David scoffed. Brian's eyebrow raised.

"Nah, that's Letty's little girl." David said before taking another sip of his soda. A sense of calmness flooded him although the people around him tensed up. Especially Dom who turned at the words.
