On a sunny but breezy Saturday in Los Angeles, 10-year old blonde-haired and blue-eyed Jack O'Conner along with his three friends from school, Max, Damon, and Nicky, decided to hang out at the park where Nicky finds a football lying around.
"Here's a football. How about we play a little two-on-two? It would be great for football tryouts on Monday," Nicky suggested.
"That's a good idea. Me and Damon against you two?" Jack asked pointing to Max and Nicky who then agreed. The four boys then went on to play football (where it is pretty much a tie between the two teams), therefore they didn't notice three men in a car watching them. These three men are revealed to be Carter Verone, and his two thugs, Roberto and Enrique!
Here's O'Conner's kid, boss," Roberto reported to Verone. The latter then went on to look at Jack more closely.
"That is Brian O'Conner's son, all right. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and fast on wheels. Pun intended," Verone observed from watching Jack with an evil smile in his face where wheels is a metaphor for Jack's running skills. "Now, get the boy". Roberto and Enrique got out of the car and continued spying on Jack until he is ready to be grabbed.
After a half-hour later, the four boys decided to stop their football game and they took their time to catch their breaths.
"Jack, you are fast," Max said.
"It's sort of a family talent. I hope I'd be this fast on cars though," Jack expressed his hope of competing in street races along with the other members of his loving family.
"I have to go home," Damon said as he read a text on his cellphone sent by his mother.
"Me too," Max and Nicky both said simultaneously.
"Okay, see you guys!" Jack said his goodbyes as he and his friends go in separate directions on their way back to their homes. Jack is walking casually until he caught sight of Roberto and Enrique behind him. Though the two men are trying to act casual, Jack could tell that they are following him and getting scared, he started running as fast as he can where Roberto and Enrique started chasing after him. He then made his way to another section of the park where he finds a tall tree and decided to climb up to the top which could make a good hiding spot. After climbing up to the top, Jack took out his cellphone and decided to call his father. Both Brian and Jack are as close as a father and son can be, and Jack could always count on his father to protect him no matter what.
"Dad? Daddy?" Jack whispered but breathing heavily.
"Jack? Are you okay, buddy? What's wrong?" Brian asked very concerned as he could tell from Jack's voice is that he is very scared and possibly in danger.
"I'm at the park. There are these two creepy guys chasing me. Help me, I'm scared," Jack continued whispering in his scared voice.
"Okay, hang tight! I'll be right there! What do those two guys look like?" Brian asked.
"They look Latino, both are wearing collared shirts, one is almost bald and has a beard, while the other one has hair and a clean face," Jack described Roberto and Enrique as he can without being seen himself. But then, the tree branch holding Jack began to snap and...
"Aaaah!" Jack screamed as he fell down from the tree. Luckily, he wasn't hurt but his scream got the attention of Roberto and Enrique who spotted him.
"Jack? What's going on? Jack? JACK!" Brian screamed with worry in his voice after he heard Jack's scream, but Jack didn't answer although he could hear Jack's screams as he is being roughly grabbed by both Roberto and Enrique who then dragged him back to their car with Verone.
"Here, this'll knock him out!" Verone said pouring some chloroform in a handkerchief. Enrique took it and holded it close to Jack's nose and the boy finally passed out while Roberto got in the driver's seat and drove off as fast as he can.
