A/N – Flashback will be at the end this time.


Chapter 21 – Set for Life

Present. Switzerland. Outside the bank.

Kiyomi has taken out a handful of Faerber's men from the rooftop across the street. Han and Jamie have done the same from the ground.

When Faerber comes running out of the bank he jumps into a truck dodging gunfire. What's left of his men try to jump into the trucks. Han shoots one truck in the gas tank blowing it up. Causing it to block two more behind it.

Jamie shoots the driver of Faerber's truck. He looks away as Dominic runs out of the bank. When he does Faerber pushes out the dead driver and pulls off with two trucks in tow.

The three men take off towards their car to catch Dierk.

"He shot Nola!" Toretto yells to Coleson.

"Is she…"

"It's not good."

"Shit! I have to go back. I have to..."

"We'll get him."

Jamie tosses them the keys and turns back around towards the bank.


Inside the bank.

"I'm fine." Nola gasps out. "Do you have that key?"

"Fuck the key!"

Nola shakes her head. "You have it?"

"Yes!"

Laureline comes up to Letty and bends down next to her.

"Miss Ortiz, I need you to bring that key and come with me right now."

Letty barely looks at her.

"Please. Miss Ortiz."

"Go." Nola chokes out. "I'm begging you."

Jamie runs in. He's frozen at all the blood on the ground. Not just blood, her blood. When Nola starts coughing uncontrollably it jars him back into reality. He gets on the ground and puts Nola's head in his lap.

"You idiot, what are you doing getting shot?" Jamie scolds her, choking on the emotion in his voice.

"Miss Ortiz."

"Letty, please." Nola says with a weak attempt at pushing her away.

"Fuck! Okay."

Letty looks at Jamie.

"I got her." He rubs her face and looks down at her.

Laureline walks hurriedly to the same conference room that she was just in with Nola and Dierk. Letty follows her reluctantly.

"Do you have your key?"

Letty gives her the key around her neck. Laureline scans the key and starts a series of keystrokes.

"Alright, this transaction is already started, I just needed your key. It should just be a few moments now."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Mrs. Faerber came in about a month ago and opened an account in your name. She asked me to be ready to make a rather large transfer into that account if she came in with her husband to clean out their account."

Laureline clicks around some more.

"Congratulations Miss Ortiz you're now a very wealthy woman."

"What?" Letty can barely comprehend anything beyond the blood covering her hands and clothes.

"I think this translates to about 1 billion U.S. dollars."

Letty gasps and steps back in shock.

"$1 billion?"

"Yes ma'am." She hands her a printout of all the information for the account. "Now if you don't mind, I no longer work for this bank. Mrs. Faerber paid me very well for my services and I'm done."

Laureline walks out of the room leaving Letty standing there surprised.

"Nola, how the hell did you do this? Nola!"

She turns and runs back out to the lobby in time to see Nola loaded onto a stretcher. Jamie leans over and kisses her cheek as they roll her out.

"Letty, will you go with her? I have to make sure Toretto gets him and doesn't end up in jail."

Anyone else would think of Jamie as uncaring, but Letty knew better. She knew that was his way of being there for her. He always did his job.

"Of course." Letty gives him a quick hug and runs out and climbs into the ambulance.

She looks around at the burning car and the dead and injured bodies in the street. Then she looks over at Nola who is now unconscious.

You better pull through this mess, Letty thinks. She's still doubtful.


Present. Switzerland. Inside Toretto's car.

Toretto and Lue are in the car pursuing Faerber. Han rolls down the window and shoots out the tires of one of the trucks behind Dierk's, spinning it into another one.

Toretto maneuvers around the crashed trucks carelessly yet accurately.

"How bad Dom?" Han asks.

"He shot her in the stomach at point blank range."

"Shit!"

Dominic catches up to Faerber's truck and rams into the back of it. He pulls to the side and rams him again. The third hit spins Faerber into a fountain in the middle of the road. Dominic drives right into the side of him making sure he can't go anywhere.

Dominic jumps out of the truck, with his gun drawn. Han gets out on his side and circles around.

Faerber is pinned struggling to reach his gun. As Dominic approaches the side of the car Dierk reaches the gun. Before he can raise it fully and pull the trigger, Dominic shoots him in the head twice.

Han reaches into the car and takes the gun out of Faerber's hand and throws it outside the car.

When they turn around they surrounded by the Swiss police and drop their weapons.

"This is the least fun part of the fun." Han says.

"Yeah, I hear the food in European prisons sucks."


Three hours later. Switzerland. Hospital.

Letty is waiting outside the operating room when Toretto, Lue and Coleson walk in. Before she can turn all the way around Toretto has her in his arms.

"How is she?" Jamie asks.

Dominic sets her back on her feet. Letty shakes her head in response.

"So what's going on with everything?" Letty asks.

"Jamie cleared everything up, but the Swiss are more than happy to see us leave their country sooner rather than later." Dominic answers. "You okay?"

"Just waiting." Letty says with wet eyes. "Are we going to have any trouble staying until…as long as we need?"

"We're good for now. I gave them what was left of the cash he withdrew. They can use it to fix up their streets."

He looks over at the operating room door and sighs.

"They haven't told me anything yet other than she needed multiple transfusions." Letty replies to his unspoken words.

Dominic turns to Han. "Can you go be with Ana? I don't want to leave Letty, but I want Ana with family."

Han agrees.

"Kiyomi is available and can take you back and forth." Jamie says.

"As soon as we know everything's okay," Letty inhales deeply. "If everything's okay, I want you to bring her here. Nola would want to see her and Ana misses her."

"Will do."

Han leaves the hospital and heads to the airport.

A doctor comes out of the doors leading to the operating room and walks over to them.

"How is she?" Letty asks.

"She lost a lot of blood so we had to transfuse again. But we did get the bleeding stopped. We worry about iron accumulation with this many transfusions. The bullet went straight through. It hit her intestine so that's why she was losing so much blood."

"Is she going to make it?"

"It's looking positive now that the bleeding has stopped." The doctor answers. "But she did have blood back up into her stomach. She may vomit blood for a few days. But as long as she makes it out of the surgery it's likely she'll make it."

"Can you do the other surgery I called about?" Jamie asks.

"Mr. Coleson, with the amount of blood loss she's had, I'm not sure it's wise. I've seen the damage and I'm not sure it would even be fixable."

"Realistically, can you do the other surgery while she's already under? I called you and another specialist in to keep her alive and get this done. Can you do it?"

The surgeon nods his head. "It's doable."

"Thank you."


Several hours later. Switzerland. Hospital.

Nola is rolled out of recovery and into a more permanent room. All three of them are in her room within minutes. Dom stands back as Letty and Jamie approach the bedside. Jamie leans over and kisses her forehead.

"Are you awake?" He whispers close to her ear and she opens her eyes. "Hey."

"Hey," she replies groggily.

Jamie kisses her lips. "This isn't want I had in mind for our first night together."

Nola laughs. "Ow."

"Sorry."

"How bad was it?"

"Through and through, but it hit your intestine. You bled like crazy. You scared the shit out of us." Letty answers her question.

"Where is he?"

"Don't worry about him Nola." Dominic reassures her. "He's been taken care of." His meaning is clear.

"Thanks Toretto. You saved me the trouble of a divorce."

Everyone smiles at that.

"How many hours do you have Jay?"

"Unless than 24."

"Get your ass on a flight or he'll classify you as rouge and we do not need that shit."

"I was just waiting to see you. I wanted to make sure you were okay."

Before he can finish Nola is asleep again. He turns to look at Letty. They make a silent agreement before he walks out of the hospital and catches a flight to the United States.

Letty and Dominic step out into the hallway to let her rest. Letty sits in a nearby chair and leans her head against the wall. Dominic sits down next to her.

"She's going to be okay Letty. She'll be back to being a smartass in less than a week."

"I know. She's nuts. Do you know how much she stole from him?"

He shakes his head. She leans close to him holding the key between her thumb and forefinger.

"I'm a billionaire. The chick at the bank says it's roughly around one billion dollars in this account now."

Letty watches as multiple emotions play across Dom's face. Shock, excitement, disbelief.

"Letty, are you kidding me?"

Letty smiles.

"Nope."

Dominic looks back at Nola's door and then back at Letty.

"You're right. She's fucking nuts."

"Yeah and you killed her husband, so we're really stuck with her now."

"Was she really going to stay with him?"

"No. She absolutely hated him. She's been fucked up since he killed some woman the day before their wedding for insulting her. I mean some real brutal shit, he cut her tongue out. She wanted to take him down. Three years ago when she was ready to send him away and this new weapons sale came along, she pledged to herself that she was going to take every dime of his money and then make sure he had a bullet in him."

"What was your pledge when you started this?"

"That my baby wasn't going to have a father on the run."

"You've done that."

Letty takes that in for a minute.

"As soon as Nola can travel we can go meet the newest Toretto. I'll reschedule my meeting with Anders, I don't think she'll up for it in 5 days."

"Finally, something I want to hear. Mia's going to kill us for now telling her about Ana." He gives her a half smile. "You more than me."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to that." Letty says sarcastically.


Present. South Pacific.

Mia and Brian walk into their beach house after being released from the hospital. He places the baby down and helps Mia to the couch to rest. He goes back and picks up his daughter and carries her over to Mia.

"Hi beautiful girl." Mia smiles at her.

"Seriously Mia…"

"Brian don't start."

"She's two days old and home from the hospital and still has no name."

"If you don't get off my back. It's making it harder to decide."

The baby starts to whimper.

"See you're upsetting her Brian. Is Daddy being a jerk to Mommy?"

Brian smiles and kisses them both. He goes back out to the car for the bags and brings them in.

"What about Claudia?"

"No, I had a friend in high school named Claudia. We just called her Dia. Dia and Mia would get confusing."

"Lilian."

"No, I don't like Lily."

Brian sighs. "Mia."

"The name will just come to us! Stop thinking about it. She's not going to walk around at three without a name. Stop worrying about it."


Six Weeks Ago. France. Jamie's hotel room.

Nola comes into Jamie's hotel room wearing sunglasses and a scarf around her head. Once she's inside she removes them both.

"Are you fucking insane meeting me here while you're on a vacation with him Nola? He's ten blocks away."

"He's at Cécile's apartment. She'll keep him occupied for hours. Did you get me what I asked for?"

Jamie hands Nola the paperwork she needs.

"This is Laureline Roell. You really got lucky with this one. She's been stealing money from the accounts when she has them open for transactions and order to pay for her daughter's surgeries. She needs money and she needs it badly. You need to get to her before she gets caught because she's starting to make mistakes."

"Why are thieves always idiots?"

"Desperate people make mistakes? Are you getting desperate Nola?"

"I'm not making any fucking mistakes. Do you have all the proof I need on this?"

Jamie hands her a hard drive.

He looks into her eyes for a long time. Then he kisses her long and deep. He starts to move his hands up her dress and she grabs them and pulls her mouth away.

"I can't Jay."

"He'll never know."

"I'll know. I'll know that I made love to you and then went back and let him touch me after. I need to be completely done with him before I can do this."

Jamie puts his forehead against hers and holds onto her hips. "Give me a second."

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He opens them and pulls her into a hug.

"I understand. I've wanted you for nine years, what's another month."


Two Weeks Later. Switzerland. Bank.

"Frau Faerber, I hear you want to open a new account here." Laureline says to Nola.

"Yes, in a friend's name. Her name is Leticia Ortiz. I want no one else to have access to it."

"We can do that."

"I also want you to do something for me."

Nola explains that she knows about Laureline's stealing and her daughter's illnesses.

"I will give you 77 million francs half now, half later if you do something for me? That's just over $100 million. If I come in with my husband to clean out our account, I want you to withdraw the cash we ask for. However, I do not want you to transfer the remainder into the account he tells you to. I want you to hold that transaction and put it in the account you're opening today. Then I want you to quit your job and disappear."

"I cannot do that. I could go to jail."

"You could. But you if you don't you definitely will. I have proof of everything you've been doing. I'm going to take it to the Adrien the bank manager and he'll definitely have you arrested."

"Scheiße!"(Shit!)

Nola smiles.

"You'll have enough money to cover you mistakes, help your daughter and disappear from the first transaction alone. However, it wouldn't be wise to leave until after I've gotten what I want. You would have to make arrangements to move your daughter and I'll know you're planning to leave."

Laureline tries to stay composed. "How will I know when you're coming?"

"We have to make arrangements 48 hours in advance to clear an account that large. You'll know."

"My boss handles that type of transaction."

"Don't worry about that. I'll make sure you're handling it. Stop making excuses. Do we have a deal? If so, let's get you some money today. If not, let's call Adrien in and explain what you've been up to."

Laureline nods her head. "We have a deal."
