Brian loved fast cars. There was no doubt about that, but when Dom was driving like a mad man on a full throttle, it actually felt quite sickening.
'Dom, you could ease up, just a tad' Brian asked, over the roar of the engine. Dom didn't reply, his eyes glued to the road as he concentrated on swerving through the traffic.
'Hey, guys? Don't mean to put a damper on things, but there are two cop cars onto-'
'It's my back up! I called it in' Hobbs voice cut through Roman's speech.
'Oh'
Brian gripped the passenger side handle as Dom skidded round a sharp corner, just narrowly avoiding the cars on the other side of the road.
'Jesus Dom! I'm not kidding, I'd rather get there alive than half dead!' Brian shouted, his plea going unheard.
'Guys, we've got a problem!' Tej's voice floated through the walkie talkie. Brian turned and looked over his shoulder, watching as three black cars carelessly crashed into Hobbs back up and then headed straight for them.
'Shit! Spilt up!' Brian shouted into the walkie talkie, watching as the speedometer inch up and up.
'TORETTO!' Hobbs shout was lost, as one of the black cars slammed into his and sent him off road.
Dom glanced out of the rear view mirror and slammed on the brake. Brian grunted as the black hit the back end of their car and flipped over theirs.
'Tej! Roman, where you at?' Dom shouted, waiting for their reply.
'Guys?' Brian prompted, before looking over his shoulder again and scanning the road for them. 'Shit!' He exclaimed, when he couldn't see them.
Just then, a loud bang echoed in his ears as the car spun out of control and flipped twice, the last thing he saw before darkness consumed him was a gun pointing at him...
'How long we been in here, man? I'm hungry' Roman said, to no one in particular. No one answered though, they were in their own world's.
Tej was thinking of ways to get them out, despite the fact that there were no tools to help.
Brian was thinking of Mia and the kids, thinking of ways he could make up for the lost time over Christmas.
Hobbs was thinking of ways to try and contact his team without signal on his work pager.
Dom, however, still had Letty cradled tightly in his arms. He had moved away from the gang and to his own space, trying to bring her round.
'Remember when you told me you were pregnant with Cat? I've never seen you so nervous before. The look in your eyes when I finally let go of you, so Mia could hug you, I've never seen them so alight since our wedding...' he said softly, his hand rubbing her stomach, hoping and praying their baby was still there.
'Come on, Let. Come back to me! Open your eyes, just for me' Dom whispered, kissing her forehead firmly, as he moved her head to rest on his shoulder. 'C'mon baby, c'mon' he murmured, his fingers tangling into her hair.
A few minutes of silence passed.
'Why do you smell of that skanks perfume?' Letty murmured, her eyes flickering open and darting around the room.
Dom let out a relived sigh and hugged her close, calming her down.
'She was wearing so much of it, it was like she had poured the whole bottle on!' Dom replied to her question.
He helped her sit up slowly and gently, manuvouring her between his legs, wrapping his arms round her waist.
'What happened to... where the hell is Catalina?!' Letty shrieked, remembering her daughter as her thoughts became clearer.
'Calm down! She's in the D.R with Mia and the kids' Brian said, hurrying over to her quickly, taking her face in his hands.
'What- get off me!' Letty squirmed, trying to bat Brian's hands away.
'Do you feel sick or dizzy?' He asked, both Brian and Dom looking at her.
'I feel like punching you if you don't let go of my face!' Letty threatened, causing Brian to drop his hands quickly.
'Point taken'
'I'm fine. Though my stomach hurts a little' She winced, as Dom tightened his hold on her, steeling himself as he asked his next question.
'Is the baby...' Dom cut himself off, pressing his face into the back of Letty's neck, biting his lip.
Brian watched as Letty's eyes hardened and swallowed silently.
'Letty?' He asked, gently, dreading the answer judging by the look on her face.
'I'm wearing a pair of the skanks jogging bottoms... What does that tell you?' She bit out, her voice tight as she tried to hold together her emotions.
'I will kill them with my bare hands' Dom threatened, though the threat didn't sound threatening since his emotions got the better of him.
'Dom...' Letty scolded, her voice cracking, slightly. She felt one of her husbands tears land on her back and the next thing she knew, Brian had locked her and Dom in a hug in a small group hug...
'Oh look! She's woken up... He should have hit her harder' Carly's sickly sweet voice came from the doorway, a few minutes later.
'What do you want?' Tej asked, as he, Hobbs and Roman moved to stand infront of Brian, protecting Letty.
'Well, I was coming to check on you all, didn't expect her to be awake so soon though'
'Why would you want to check on us?' Brian asked, standing up and standing next to Roman.
'I'm going to torture you, not kill you... yet' Carly reasoned, before Alejandro appeared.
'YOU!' Dom voice boomed through the stonewall room. Letty jumped but used her body and her hands on his wrist to keep him sitting behind her.
'So, you're the husband after all these years? How do you put with her?' Alejandro asked Dom, who snarled at him, while clenching his fist tightly.
'Why are you doing this?' Dom asked, ignoring Alejandro's questions.
'Isn't it obvious? She's going to suffer for what she did while I was growing up' Alejandro told him, advancing into the room and reaching for his sister, only for Hobbs to intervene, by pushing him backwards a few steps.
'You touch her and I will make you wish you had never been born' Dom threatened, his eyes piercing him.
'No. It's okay... He didn't hit me' Letty said, getting to her feet and ignoring the pain in her stomach.
'Letty, have you lose your mind again? He's put us in this situation!' Roman said, before clutching his arm as Brian punched him.
'What did I do while you were growing up?' Letty asked, folding her arms.
'Don't play dumb with him-'
'Why don't you shut your skanky mouth, blondie! You change your hair colour more than your underwear probably!' Letty snapped at Carly, who eyes narrowed dangerously at Letty. 'Now, run along and go get your boyfriend, I think my husband here would like to meet him... SCRAM!' Letty screamed, a smirk on her face as Alejandro gave Carly the push she needed to start walking.
'Like she was about to say, don't play dumb with me, sister!' Alejandro said.
'Just tell me'
'The letters you sent me, the letters you sent mom... saying how glad you were to be shot of us and how you hope that mom was dead...' Alejandro told his sister, causing four heads to turn to Letty.
Letty frowned as he spoke, 'What letters? I don't have a clue what you're talking about'
'Oh come on! You left that day because you and Mom got into a fight. I woke up from a nap to find you gone and Mom packing her things'
'Wait... what? You think I left because of a fight?' Letty exclaimed
'I know you left because of a fight! Mom told me! Do you want to know what happened after you walked out? I ended up on drugs by the time I was eleven because that was all I had been brought around and I didn't know any better. And then I found all the letters you sent to Mom and me! Imagine how that made me feel!'
'I don't know what-'
'YES, YOU DO!' Alejandro screamed, grabbing Letty's arms and pushing her against the wall harshly.
Letty let out a grunt and her eyes sparked. 'Okay, you really shouldn't have done that! Don't underestimate what a street girl hids up her sleeve!' She snapped.
A second later, Alejandro fell to the floor, blood seeping through a deep wound on the back of his tigh as Letty sliced him in the leg with a scapel.
'Mother really shouldn't leave sharp things lying around, people might pick it up' Letty said, emotionless, before they all bolted for the door, leaving Alejandro screaming murder threats at them...
'Right, okay... where do we go?' Hobbs asked Letty, who was looking round, trying to familiarise herself with the exits.
'Right okay, this way!' She said, leading the way down the corridor and down a flight of stairs, a left turn and down another dark corridor before stopping outside a door. 'Hobbs, open it!' She demanded.
Hobbs stepped forward and took out the door with one slam of his shoulder.
'Damn! I got to start building on my muscles' Roman murmured to himself.
Letty stepped forward into the room and felt for light switch, flicking it on and finding a cellar door.
'We're heading for the cellar?' Tej asked, confused.
'Nope' Letty answered. She wrenched opened the cellar door and led them down a flight of stairs and down another few corridors before wrenching open a door, coming face to face with a late evening sky.
'The embankment!' Brian exclaimed, watching as Letty stepped out into the cool air and breathed in the late evening air.
'So, where's your back up? Surely to God you came with some?' Letty asked Hobbs, who looked sombre, as the mention his men.
'I'll see what I can do if I can borrow someone's phone?' Hobbs stated, as Tej handed him his.
'How you feeling?' Brian asked Letty, who was stood staring out at the embankment. She turned round and smiled tightly at him.
'I'm okay. My stomach just hurts' She said, avoiding eye contact with Dom, who was stood off the side slightly, consumed in his own thoughts.
'We'll get you to a hospital as soon as we can' Brian told her, rubbing her arm.
'No, I want my daughter. Her hugs make everything better' Letty told Brian, who smiled at her. He moved off to talk to Dom, while Letty went to Tej and Roman.
'Did you guys shut the cellar door?' She asked, watching as they frowned.
'We thought Dom did?'
'No, Dom was behind me, Tej' Letty told him, her voice having the tiniest hint of a whine. She groaned and ran a hand through her hair, turning to her left to head back inside.
Tej opened his mouth to say something when a flash of blonde streaked past him and collided straight into Letty, who let out a startled scream as she stumbled into the chain barrier and flipped over the other side, taking Carly with her and crashing into the murky waters below.
'LETTY!' Dom screamed, rushing to the edge of the embankment, almost falling in himself if Brian hadn't yanked him back.
'CARLY!' A voice shouted, skidding to a stop next to Dom and scanning the murky waters for his girlfriend.
Dom had just about been ready to jump in after Letty, when the voice, who screamed Carly's name, made his blood run cold.
He turned his head and saw a very familiar face stood next to him, one he hadn't seen since Mexico he left.
'Leon?'
