Mia's POV

Everyone arrived within minutes of each other. First to show up, in a taxi, was, I assumed, one of Brian's friends. He was a tall, fairly muscled black man in a leather jacket. The man looked around the warehouse, but before he could do much of anything he was joined by another man in a fairly classic looking car.

"Aw hell no," the guy in the car chimed up first. "I see they really scraped the bottom of the barrel."

The man in the leather immediately shot back, "I guess they did since your ass is here." They sized each other up a second. "When you gonna give Martin Luther King his car back?"

The guy in the car countered with, "As soon as you give Rick James his jacket back." The pair paused a moment before laughing and 'man-hugging' each other in greeting.

Neither of the pair noticed the Korean appear behind them. "I thought cock fights were illegal in Brazil." He pointed out to them as he casually munched on a snack.

"I see you all met." Dom led Brian and I up to the three.

I raised an eyebrow. "This isn't everybody is it?" I asked Brian in a failed whisper.

Brian checked his watch and snorted. "One minute…"

"What?" I was now confused, and didn't really notice that everyone could hear us.

Brian shook his head. "He said he wanted a perfectionist… It's 11:59, not afternoon yet."

"It is now. Your watch is slow." Everyone in the group turned.

Sky's POV

"It is now. Your watch is slow." All eyes turned to me as me and the other three walked up behind Brian and his two friends.

The four of us had switched plane tickets from New York to Rio and flown down over night. We'd only taken so long because of getting through security at the airport and waiting for Austin's brother, who was the marketing director of Lamborghini, to hook us up with two cars for rides here.

We'd come in the same time as the other car, but he was so loud it masked our noise.

"And for the record, we would've been here earlier if Leslie hadn't driven the second car. Unfortunately, I'm still working on being in two places at once." I really felt somewhat uneasy in this room.

"You made it!" Brian pulled me into a hug, which quickly started some kind of happy fest of hugging everyone you actually knew till you stopped when you ran out of people.

I let go of Brian quickly so he could greet everyone, and I lagged back to where Leslie, Austin, and Nora were about two feet away from the rest of the group.

"Dom, this is Tej, best circuit man on the East Coast. And this is my boy Roman Pierce; we go way back I met this cat in Juvie. Pulled that job with him in Miami." My brother introduced the fairly intimidating bald guy, who I figured was Dom, to the two men bickering earlier.

Dom nodded, "Heard about you."

"Nice digs." The hot Asian guy commented on the place before his eyes gazed over to the four of us.

"OH!" Brian had forgotten to introduce us. "Everyone, this," he took my hand and pulled up in front of the four men and the girl, my crew moving up with me, "is Sky, and her crew Austin, Leslie, and Nora."

I could feel everyone eyeing me suspiciously. Brian had given no explanation. The others were already so well known on the streets or got some explanation, but he'd seemed to forget these people didn't grow up with me. The girl looked to be the most wary of me, and I figured this must be the Mia he talked so much about.

"Sorry, he's clearly lost his manners." Only Nora was between me and her, so I could hold my hand out for her to shake, "I'm Skylar O'Connor, Bri's sister. You must be this Mia he tells me so much about."

I could see the tension in Dom's shoulders ease, now that he knew Brian wasn't some kind of cheater, and the girl immediately smiled. "OH! Sorry, I guess I…"

I shook my head, cutting her off. "It's fine. We'll blame it all on Brian. That's how I got away with everything growing up."

"She's not lying," Brian mumbled under his breath. "Girl's good at covering her tracks."

"So what's this all about Dom?" The Asian cut in, before continuing his chip eating.

I shut up immediately, wanting to know why I left a half million dollar job in New York for a visit to my brother's friends in Rio.

"Yeah man, why'd you drag us halfway around the world?" the one Bri introduced as Tej butted in.

Dom was very serious when he answered, "Cause we got a job."

The laughing was over, and Brian led us to a table. "All right, so our target's name is Hernan Reyes."

"The drug dealer?" Austin cut in finally, eyes wide.

Dom looked over at Brian in confusion, but Brian shrugged. "You said you wanted someone who knows this stuff inside and out… I gave you a team of them."

"He's never been busted on anything before. That guy doesn't leave a paper trail," I added, almost excited at the thought of taking on Reyes.

"Right and no paper trail means…" Brian didn't get to finish because this time Leslie beat him to it.

"No paper trail means no banks. No banks, Cash houses." She said.

All of us were familiar with Reyes. When we occasionally did jobs in Brazil sometimes we hit low level workers of Reyes, they were rich enough to get us by for a bit but low enough for us not to get caught.

"That's right." Brian opened up the map on the table. "Ten of them to be exact. Spread throughout the city."

Dom finally cut in, "And we're gonna hit 'em all."

Tej glanced around for a second before asking, "All of them?"

Dom nodded, "All of them."

Roman, Brian's other friend, cut in, "Sounds crazy, bring us to a whole nother country just to rob the man who runs it… I thought this was business, sounds personal to me… Is that what this is?" Roman started to move away, "I got love for yall but personal aint good business. I can't do this homie." He began to walk away.

Dom seemed a tad frustrated as I started to speak loud to emphasize it to Roman, though he pretended to ignore him. "So what we're talking about is a hundred million dollars."

I chuckled and watched as Roman started coming back. "You say what? … See sometimes I be overthinking man. And uh… you know, I know we just met…"

Dom ignored him and kept talking. "Hundred million dollars, everything we take, we split even."

"So…" Tej did the math, "10 million a piece? … I am down with that."

"10 million… sounds like a whole lot of vaginal activity to me." Roman added.

It was then that Leslie decided to chimed in again, "You can't pull off ten heists on the same mark. You just can't."

"Yeah," the Asian, who's name I still didn't know, bumped in, "once you hit the first one, they're gonna do everything they can to protect the rest."

"Exactly." Dom said with a smirk.

I raised an eyebrow and met Brian's gaze as I leaned forward on the table. "We're in…" I looked at my crew over my shoulder.

Leslie looked to Austin, who nodded and said, "Only cause we've been waiting for this for years."

"Waiting for what?" Mia asked, more to me.

Nora chuckled and crossed her arms, "Revenge."

Hi, thanks for reading. Please let me know what you think? It'd mean a lot.
