"Okay Ahri, show us what you got!" Dom said into the microphone. Ahriel could hear him from the radio system in her car. She just smirked and took a deep breath. A second later her eyes shot open and she slammed her foot on the gas pedal. Her car shot forward, Ahri quickly shifting the gears to make the car go faster.

She was coming up to the first turn, the whole team was watching the cameras very closely to see if she could by-pass them.

Just before the turn Ahri turned the car to the left slightly before slamming the car to the right and ripping the e-brake. She smoothly drifted around the corner, her car fitting perfectly between the 2 walls. Ahri straightened then car out before do the exactly same thing to the next turn.

What the team couldn't believe was that the camera hadn't caught Ahri yet. They really hoped that she would be able to make it through the rest of the track without getting caught.

Han couldn't believe what he was seeing. Sure he had seen great drivers before, but Ahri's driving had a different air about it. She drove with no hesitation, like no matter what obstacle was in front of her, she was in complete control. Han had wondered how she learned to drive like that. From what Dom had told him of Ahriel, she wasn't much more than a techie. Sure she could drive, but nothing like he was seeing right now.

Ahriel just smiled at the feeling she was getting. No amount of pain, drugs, or happiness could make her feel the total bliss she was feeling right now. Ahri saw her last turn in front of her, and knew this was her time to really show everyone what she was made of. She quickly flick the green switch on her dash board and pressed the tiny red buttons on her steering wheel. The car shot forward even faster than before with the extra boost of NOS that was feeding into the engine.

Unlike the turns before Ahri didn't veer to the left before turning, she went straight into a right turn, drifting at speeds most people wouldn't have been able to.

Her car came to a screeching halt in front of the team. Ahri taking another deep breath before getting out of her car. She leaned against the open drivers door and just smiled at everyone.

The sound of the microphone dropping from Dom's hands shook everyone out of the daze they were in.

"AHRIEL CHARLOTTE ROSELLINI WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?" Dom screamed at the young girl, running down from the platform and pulling her into a hug. She just laughed hugging him back.

"It's fine Dominic, I what I'm doing. Ive been racing like that for years!" She giggled. The team slowly joining the two.

"What exactly was that?" Questioned Brian.

"I just drifted, with a tiny bit of NOS."

"That wash't a tiny bit! That was a goddamn tank of NOS!" Tej yelled throwing his hands in the air.

"Yeah, but thats nothing! You should see me when I do both tanks!"

"Ahriel where in the world did you learn something like that!" Dom asked, still frazzled from the experience. He didn't think Ahriel would ever do something that dangerous. She was still that little girl that was stuck behind her computer most of the time. A girl that didn't see the enjoyment in racing cars, like the rest of them.

"Greece, you should really come sometime. The racing scene is crazy there." She said simply.

"Yeah we can see that." Han said back to her. She gave him a small smile before turning back to Dom.

"Ahri what would Jesse think if he saw you doing something so dangerous." Dom said softly to her. The atmosphere in the warehouse changed at the moment. Ahriel's smiled soon to a frown, then a glare.

"Well I guess we're lucky he isn't alive to see it then, right?" She said with a snarl before getting back into her car and driving out of the warehouse.

"Dom, you know you shouldn't have brought up Jesse in front of her." Mia said walking away from the group.

"It's been 10 years Mia! We all have to move on at some point!" He yelled back to her.

"You know goddamn well why it still hurts her!" The others were shocked. Mia rarely ever cussed, not unless she was really mad.

"I know Mia! But what was I supposed to do? As soon as she heard that Jesse was killed she ran. It took me 6 years to track her down!" Dom said covering his face with his hands. Ahriel was just as much as a sister to him as Mia was.

"Wait, Ahri knew Jesse?" Brian asked.

"Yes, you probably don't recognize her but she was that little girl that followed Jesse around like a damn puppy." Dom said sighing.

"What? But that girl was like 12!" Brian had always wondered who the little girl was. She was never at the races or parties but whenever they were working in the garage she was always there, shadowing Jesse or on her laptop. Brian had never questioned it, thinking that the girl must have been his little sister or something.

"She was actually 18. She's always been tiny for her age." Mia said crossing her arms, still glaring at Dom.

The team was utterly confused. Han knew that Jesse was apart of Dom's old crew but was killed by an enemy, but neither him or Mia ever said anything about Ahriel being there too. Rome looked at Tej silently asking him if he knew what was going on, Tej just shrugged.

"So what does Ahriel have to do with Jesse, I thought she was probably just his little sister. And she was never at the races or parties really, that why I didn't try to look into who she was back then." Brian said.

"No they weren't siblings." Mia said simply.

"They were dating." Dom continued for her. Now that shocked Brian.

"What?"

"She is the next best thing to Jesse. He taught her everything he knew. That why I brought her in. I was hoping she would be able to hack into the feed at the police station and replace the images without anyone knowing." Dom explained.

"So she just disappeared after Jesse was killed?" Rome asked.

"Yeah. I called her when I heard the shots and told her not to come back to the house. She kept mumbling about how she needed to keep Jesse safe. To this day I still don't know what she was talking about." Mia sighed. "After that it was like she didn't even exist. We tried everything to try and find her."

"It wasn't until 6 years later when I got word that she was in Italy." Dom said to everyone.

"So basically the only chance we have, at the moment, to get the money is a 28 year old woman that could still pass as a teenager, with a past. Holy shit." Tej said running his hands over his face.

"Tej is right Dom, Ahriel might be able to get past the cameras, but she's the only one. We can't rely on her for this entire job. The only chance we all have is if we had invisible cars!" Brian exclaimed.

"And I know where to find some" Dom said smirking. "Okay, let me go get Ahriel and we'll roll out."

Dom walking to the one place he knew Ahriel would be, the roof. There she was leaning against the railing looking out at the sunset. He took a place next to her not saying anything. They both just sat there for a couple minutes not saying anything.

"Im sorry. You know it still hurts to think about him." Ahri said looking down at her shoes.

"I know Ahri, it still hurts us all. But Jesse wouldn't want you to be sad all of the time. He would want you to still be enjoying your life." Dom said softly to the girl he knew as a little sister.

"I know." She said sadly.

"Come on, enough with the sad shit, we got a job to do!" Dom said slinging his arm around her shoulders, walking to the stairs. She just smiled at him and let him guide her.

Maybe she would be able to move on this time.
