Chapter 1: Were going to Tokyo
A man walked out of a white Mercedes-Benz, staring blankly at the destruction that he had made out of the once wondrous Mazda RX-7. He turned around and pulled a silver cross necklace out of his pocket and quickly glimpsed over that the American teenage boy who had been driving a red Mitsubishi Lancer Evo; he looked dumbfounded, scared. He put the necklace back into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone as he started walking down the street in the direction that he had come from. Beep… Beep… "Domonic Toretto, you don't know me," The man said as the RX-7 exploded in a ball of flames. "but you're about too."
Dominic Toretto held the cell phone up to his ear with a dumbfounded look on his face. When he saw that it was a Tokyo area code that was calling him, he figured it was Han wanting to catch up on old times, but it was some man that he didn't know. You don't know me, but your about too… What was this supposed to mean? 'Oh well,' he thought. 'probably just a couple kids pulling a prank.' Dominic ended the call and put the phone back in his pocket. He looked over at Brian, who was holding his newborn son, Jack
"Who was it, Dom?" He asked as he got up to put a sleeping Jack into his crib.
"Nobody." Dominic replied as he walked out into the kitchen. "You want a beer?" Dominic came back into the living room a second later and handed Brian a beer, not giving him much of a choice.
"Thanks." Brian walked over to the television and turned on NASCAR, turning Dominic's attention towards the TV. Just then, Letty walked down the stairs to join the little party.
"Can you two be any louder?" She asked sleepily. She walked over to Dominic, kissed him and sat down on his lap. Ever since Dom had found her in London after thinking that she was dead, she had had long-term memory loss. She was starting to remember quickly though because of the familiar surroundings and people; Dominic's childhood home which they all lived in together, the familiar racing hotspots, and Dom, Brian and Mia of course.
"Sorry, Baby." Dom apologized, putting his arm around Letty's waist, holding her close. Just then, Dominic's phone rang again. Dominic retrieved the phone and looked at the caller I.D; Luke Hobbs. 'What the hell…" Dominic thought as he answered the call.
"Hello?" Dominic said into the phone, sounding rather dumbfounded by the fact that Hobbs was calling him.
"Dom, It's Luke Hobbs." Brian and Letty started at Dominic, also dumbfounded.
"What's up, Hoobs?" Dominic asked. "I thought the last that we were going to hear from you was in London." Dominic heard sirens in the background on Luke's end of the line. 'What the hell does he want with us now?' He asked himself.
Luke took a deep breath. "Dom," Luke took another long deep breath. "Han is dead." Dominic's eyes went wide. His heart sped up immensely. 'What kind of sick trick is he trying to pull?' He thought.
"How do you know?" Dominic asked, hoping that what Hobbs was saying wasn't true.
"I am here in Tokyo on official DSS business." Hobbs said, letting a long deep sigh before going on with his explanation. "I was trying to apprehend a suspect and the Tokyo P.D started using the communication channel that I was using to communicate with my team. They started pursuing two people racing through Downtown Tokyo and the Shibuya District with an RX-7, so it peaked my interest. When I arrived at the scene, I saw that whoever was driving the RX-7 had been in a crash and something had punctured his fuel tank, and his car exploded. I saw a body on a stretcher that the paramedics had been working on, and it was Han's body." Dominic started blankly forward, his heart still beating rapidly. "I'm sorry, Dom."
"It's fine," Dom sighed deeply. "just give me a name."
"Well the Tokyo P.D tracked all phone calls from the time that they were called to now. They had me hear them all over, and we tracked one call that was for you. It said… 'Dominic Toretto, you don't know me, but your about too.' We tracked the origin of the call an-"
"Just give me a name…" Dominic said coldly, all of the piece slowly starting to come together in his mind. Letty and Brian looked at each other, only to be interrupted when Jack started to cry loudly.
"Ian Shaw, Owen Shaw's older brother." Hobbs replied. Dominic swore to himself, pissed that the name Shaw was coming back into his life. Ever since his last job in London, Dom had thought that he would never hear that name again.
"OK, thanks Hobbs." Dominic said softly. "We'll be there shortly. We are going to put an end to this."
"See you then." Hobbs said before ending the call. 'Here we go again' He thought as he saw paramedics cover Han's deceased body with a blanket before transferring him to an ambulance. 'Rest in peace, Han.'
Dominic put his cell phone on the end table next to the chair that he was sitting in and took a sip of his beer.
"What was that about, Dom?" Brian asked, bouncing Jack on his lap.
Dominic sighed. "Han's dead." Brian's eyes went wide. He stopped bouncing Jack on his lap, nearly dropping him from shock. Letty started crying, burying her face in Dominic's arms. 'Looks like she's starting to remember Han.' Dom thought, rubbing his hand through her hair and kissing her on the forehead.
"What are we going to do, Dom?" Brian asked as he started bouncing Jack on his lap again.
"Were going to Japan." Dominic replied before finishing his beer.
