Eric felt his world narrowing in and his vision blur. The word "sister" echoed in his brain. He barely saw everyone standing around watching.

"What are you waiting for?" Brian laughed, pushing him forward. Amelia turned when he walked up to her.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"That," Frank said, "is your twin brother." The silence in the room was deafening. Then, Amelia snorted and started laughing.

"Why is she laughing?" Eric hissed at Brian, who shrugged.

"Y-y-you-you're kidding, right?" Amelia asked Frank, still laughing.

"I'm not," Frank replied, serious. She sobered up quickly and surveyed Eric.

"I knew I was adopted," she said. "But I had no idea I had a brother."

"Or a half brother," Eric added, gesturing to Brian.

"What?!" she exclaimed, staring. "Brian? Brian's my half brother? No way!"

"You know her?" Frank asked Brian.

"She attended a few of Dom's parties with Leon," Brian replied. Amelia wanted to clarify her role, but she knew better than to do that in front of an agent such as Mr. Nobody.

"This is...this is so weird," Eric said, looking at his sister. "I'm finally meeting you. I can help you."

"I was doing just fine on my own," Amelia said, getting annoyed suddenly.

"Amelia is very tough since she lost her adopted parents at such a young age," Frank told them. "Always trying to prove to the world she was made of stone. Am I right?"

"Shut up," Amelia retorted.

"See?" Frank finished.

"Do you know why we got split up?" Eric asked him. Frank sighed heavily.

"I do," he admitted. "Your father got this young woman in trouble, but he died right before she gave birth. She couldn't afford to keep you, so she gave you up to foster care for the purpose of adoption."

"Why split us up?" Eric asked, confused.

"It was just easier I guess," Frank answered. Amelia was staring at Eric.

"You know," she started. "I always kind of felt like I was missing half of myself, that I wasn't complete."

"Me too!" Eric said eagerly.

"Do you like racing too?" she asked.

"Uh, yea," Erica replied, looking nervously at Frank. He knew the guy would frown on that.

"Brian does too," Letty chimed in, making them all look at her.

"Don't I know it," Amelia winked. She had seen him race before. Brian was looking at her now.

"He's the best," Tej told her. "In LA anyway."

"Not quite here," Dom smirked. Brian shot him a look, making Dom laugh.

"We all know you're the king," Amelia laughed with him. "I saw buster boy over here blow his engine the first time he took on Dom."

"You were there?" Brian asked. "Damn."

"Never missed a race," she winked.

"So what do we do now?" Eric asked, cutting in. "I mean, you're in danger, Amelia. I was given a letter anonymously stating that fact."

"I am?" Amelia asked.

"You owe some money to a big dude," Frank chimed in. "A big dude I've been trying to catch for a while now. A big dude who I think is the one going to kill you."

"Great," Amelia sighed.

"So what do we do?" Brian asked.

"Well, looks like you'll have to win some more money to lure him back so I can get him," Frank said.

"Are you giving us permission to street race?" Amelia asked, incredulous.

"Whatever gets the job done," Frank shrugged.

"Oho," Amelia said, getting excited. "Oho! This is awesome!"

"Eric has a big garage with some neat toys," Roman threw in. "Lambos, tanks, you name it."

"Well, brother," she said, looking at Eric. "Let's get us some cars. I know just the race we have to win."

"Who all gets to race?" Roman asked casually. He was looking hopeful.

"I don't think we should be talking about races right now," Deckard said, coming in just then with Owen. Everyone turned to him.

"What's wrong?" Dom asked.

"We got something," Deckard answered. "It's big. It could possibly clear this whole mess up if we do it properly."

"Whaddya got?" Dom prodded. Deckard looked to Owen, who nodded and pulled out his laptop.

"Cipher has a sister," Deckard said.

"Cipher has a sister," Dom repeated, not having heard correctly.

"That's right," Deckard nodded.

"She said she has no value for family," Dom went on.

"Doesn't she?" Deckard asked. Owen turned his laptop towards Dom, showing a photo dated six months ago. "She's slipping up." Dom leaned in and studied the image of Cipher and another woman. They were clearly in Athens.

"How did you find this?" Dom asked.

"I know people who are just as good at computers as she is," Deckard smirked. "She thinks she can hide, but her sister is hell bent on putting her out there."

"We're on our way to pick the sister up," Owen said. "Her name is Farah."

"You're sure it's not a trap?" Letty asked.

"Nope. It's the real deal. Once I figured out who the sister was, I dug for more information. It was sparse since I'm sure Cipher did her best to erase everything, but one thing was left: an article on a school event. Felicity a.k.a. Cipher and Farah. I made some calls on the way over here and discovered they were orphaned at a young age. Cipher went off on her own because she was angry and needed to control everything in her life. She left her sister behind, but she still visits," Deckard explained.

"Explains why she goes to Athens," Dom mused. "Where did you get this photo?"

"Her sister uses social media," Deckard said. "How that photo got out there without Cipher knowing, I will never know."

"It's pure luck," Letty noted.

"Her sister lives in a facility in Athens. I forgot to mention, her sister has Down Syndrome. It's not severe, but it's enough that she can't live alone," Deckard said, grinning. "A weak spot if I ever saw one."

"So what happens when we pick her up?"

"She'll think it's a holiday. The plan isn't to hurt her but to bring Cipher to us."

"And if she doesn't?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Deckard promised.

Cipher

Cipher wanted to hit them and hit them hard, but Takashi wasn't quite ready.

"How is the situation with Amelia?" she asked, typing at her computer. She constantly surfed her sister's social media and deleted images of herself with her. She wished her sister would stop uploading the photos, but Farah didn't understand why Cipher didn't want her pictures out there. Her sister was just happy to share her life and talk to friends. Sometimes Cipher wished her life was that simplistic and easy, no stress about trying to control the world. It was exhausting sometimes.

"The raid interrupted that process," Takashi answered. "But Amelia has written Riku and is saying she will get him his money."

"Bonus for you guys," Cipher said absently. She had found out about the whole Eric, Brian, Amelia dynamic a while ago and was messing with Eric's head about it. She knew he had had no idea about his sister, so she had sent him a letter threatening danger to his sister, making him go crazy trying to find her. It helped her immensely as she didn't have to bother trying to locate Amelia. Eric did that for her. Well, Frank did really, but why get bogged down with logistics? She was going to kidnap Amelia and use her to get what she wanted and then kill her. If it all went well, the whole damn family would be finished off by the time she was done. The only blip was she was supposed to have Han's daughter for the mob along with Han in exchange for the codes, and she had failed that. She curled her lip. No one was going to get the drop on her this time. No one.

Dom's House

"He's letting us have the chance," Amelia said, looking at her phone. She felt nervous, though. It had been decided that half the team do the racing and the other half go take down Cipher. Dom was in that crew along with Letty. Mia had arrived in the middle of the discussion, and it was decided that she and Suki would look after the children. Brian was going to race.

"How did this switch?" Dom asked him. "You started off as the guy with the guns chasing people, and I was the racer. Now it's the other way around."

"Funny how that works, eh?" Brian joked.

"All right," Deckard said. "I think Owen should stay here with the ladies and the kids."

"What?!" Owen exclaimed.

"Someone's gotta protect us," Mia shrugged.

"But I'm more useful to you over there," Owen said to Deckard, angry.

"You're just as useful here," Deckard said firmly. "I've got Dom, Letty, Frank, Tej, and Roman. Possibly Hobbs too, if he gets his ass over here." Roman made a face. He had wanted to stay and do some really fast driving.

"So me, Leon, Han, Eric, and Amelia are doing this race," Brian confirmed.

"Saddle up, boys," Deckard said. "We have a psycho to catch." Hobbs entered just then.

"I got your message. What did I miss?" he asked.

"The whole damn show," Deckard snorted. "Where have you been?"

"Busy," Hobbs said vaguely. "All right, who's asses are getting kicked?"

Suki

She could tell Owen was pissed that he was stuck babysitting, but she couldn't help notice the way he smiled to himself whenever he looked at one of the kids. Did this man have a soft spot for little children? She wondered. Everyone was a flurry of movement as they prepared to do what they had to do. She hoped that this would all be over soon and she could get back to her life. Han kept looking at her, and she refused to smile at him. She was still angry at him for hurting her all those years ago. Maybe it was childish, but she was hanging onto it for now. Lei was excited to see Jack and Emily, and they were playing with each other in the back yard. Mia had baby Brian in her arms, bouncing him every so often and making him laugh. Letty and Dom each kissed the little boy goodbye.

"Be safe," Mia said to Dom, tears in her eyes.

"I will," he promised. Letty hugged Mia tightly.

"Keep our little man out of trouble," she said, trying to laugh. Mia just nodded.

"Good luck," Dom said, shaking Brian's hand and pulling him into a side hug.

"It's not needed now that the king is leaving town," Brian grinned. Dom laughed.

"I'm pretty good," Amelia pointed out.

"She's pretty damn good," Leon chimed in, nodding vigorously.

"Oh, we'll see about that," Brian smirked.

"Dom," Han said, catching him before he went out the door. "Thanks. For doing this."

"Anything, brother, to get you to live a normal life again. I don't doubt that Cipher had a hand in your parents' death and your exposure."

"I've never met her, but I already hate her," Han said grimly.

"You don't want to meet her," Dom shook his head. Then he was gone. Car doors slammed, and it was the eight of them alone wondering how it was going to end without someone getting hurt.


Please be kind and remember this is my made up story. Thanks for reading! I promise to do a more heart to heart between Brian, Amelia, and Eric in the next chapter. I think maybe only five chapters left, folks! ;)
