It has been three days before Jack was allowed to be discharged from the hospital and go home on Friday afternoon. Brian and Mia stayed with him almost all the time except those times where they would go home to eat, shower, or bring Jack something he liked. The rest of the family would take turns keeping him company when Brian and Mia are not around. When he's still having those nightmares, Brian and Mia would calm him down and take turns hugging him until he falls asleep.
"Excited to go home, buddy?" Brian asked with a smile on his face as he and Mia signed Jack's discharge papers.
"Oh, yeah. I miss everybody, my own bedroom, and good food. I mean seriously, Damon's mom's cooking tasted better and those have given me stomach cramps," Jack joked which made his parents laugh. Jack still has a broken left arm, so his arm is still in a sling, and he has a broken right thigh, so they put a cast on his thigh and he has to operate on crutches. So, Brian and Mia helped Jack into the back seat of their car as they're getting ready to go. On the way home, Jack thought about his family and how lucky he was to have these different individuals in it. He knew they had been criminals for a long time, but he didn't care as long as he and everybody else was happy with their lives.
About two minutes away from home, Mia smiled and decided to tell Jack, "Hey, sweetie. We just want to tell you that you are so loved and everybody will be happy to see you back home. So, we have a little surprise for you...," she said as she pointed to the driveway. Jack then saw his surprise which wasn't so little: a welcome-home barbecue party with not just his whole family, but also almost all of his classmates from school who have come bearing gifts.
"Guys, you shouldn't have," Jack said in a really grateful way but trying to keep a modest attitude.
"We know, but your friends have been asking a lot about seeing you, so we decided the only way we could shut them up is to have a party for you," Brian joked. As soon as he got out of the car, Jack felt like he was a celebrity at a red carpet event as he is greeted by his friends who as gently as they can high-fived him with his right hand, hugged him a little, and even a couple of girls gave him kisses on the cheek.
Soon, everything was set on the table, the food was ready, and everyone was sitting down in two different tables with the kids including Jack in one and the adults in the other. Using a microphone brought in, Jack made a speech telling everyone that he appreciates everything being done for him and he ended it by saying grace while everybody ate and had fun conversations with each other. When his friends are gone after being picked up by their parents, Jack has been sent to his bedroom to rest though he insisted that he help clean up after the party.
"Okay, the coast is clear," Mia said trying to make sure that Jack is gone, so they can talk about the hit-and-run incident without Jack around to worry.
"All right, what's our next move?" Letty asked. "You guys said that Jack said that the car was a black Mustang?"
"Yeah, he started to remember what happened through his nightmares," Brian said through clenched teeth as he hated talking about his son having nightmares.
"Well, that's good, because Hobbs already has something on that black Mustang," Dom reported. "He should be here right about...now," he said as Hobbs and Elena arrived at the house.
"That was weird," Roman secretly commented to Tej and Han who both nodded in agreement.
"All right, what do you two have on our black Mustang?" Letty asked Hobbs and Elena.
"A black Mustang was purchased recently from an auto shop nearby. It is registered under the name, Fenix Calderon," Hobbs reported as Elena showed them the auto registration paper which indeed says "Fenix Calderon".
"Fenix Calderon? But, he's dead. Dom killed him," Brian recalled as Dom saved his life by impaling Fenix with his car. Now, everyone was confused.
"Then, it must be a fake persona," Gisele correctly concluded, but then remembered something. "Arturo Braga! Remember he used a fake name, Ramon Campos?"
"How could Braga be out of prison? That fuckin' psycho was serving a life sentence," Han said in frustration as he is worried for everyone especially Gisele since she used to work for Braga.
"More importantly, why did he come after Jack instead of any of us?" Mia asked now very worried to hear about how her son is dragged into this.
"I think he's trying to either threaten or punish us," Tej guessed.
"So, Braga decided to hurt Jack, a poor kid, instead of any of us? That sick son of a bitch," Roman noted through clenched teeth.
"If he thinks he's going to try to kill my boy to punish us, he's got another thing coming," Brian said now feeling angrier than ever. "We need to find that motherfucker and make him pay for what he did to Jack".
"Then, we're going to need a strategy," Dom said. Soon, everyone was brainstorming and coming up with plans on how to deal with Braga. What they didn't notice is that Jack overheard everything they said through his open bedroom window where he looks more scared than ever.
