Chapter 21

Nicole was dressed as she was talking to Adolphson, he was explaining to her about the gun she was getting. "So this won't hurt anybody?" She asked looking it over as it had the look of a tranq gun but it was silver and black.

"I never said that." He said as he pulled out a small black case, he opened it showing the ammunition packs. "The blue ones are real powerful tranquilizers strong enough to take down a damn bull. The red ones are faze bullets I call them, you see they give you all the pain of a real shot but no blood or residue."

Nicole brow raised. "So fake bullets?"

"Anybody can make it sound stupid." Adolphson scoffed. "But you don't like killing so I thought this kind of gun would be great for you besides I never use it. Why use that crap when I can use my gun that actually shoots out real bullets."

"Thanks." She put the gun back in the black case, closing it she picked it up and put it inside the black bag.

"Here kid." Jah said handing her something wrapped up.

"What are these?" She questioned taking it from him.

He took it back and spread it out on the table, it was at least seven decorated throwing knives. "Since I told Shaw that you have a good throwing arm he told me to let you use these and don't worry there is more if you end up using them all."

"Well hopefully that won't happen." Nicole said, she picked one up and looked it over. "They are pretty though."

"What is?" Letty asked coming over, she looked from the knives before over at Jah with a glare. "Why not just give the kid grenades next."

"Don't joke Shaw is still considering it." Jah smirked, Letty rolled her eyes. "Seriously."

"Whatever." Letty scoffed, she picked one up looking it over. "Do you even know how to use these?"

"Guess I will have to learn." Nicole said with a shrug.

"Alright listen up." Owen walked out from the back getting their attention. "The last truck with the shipment just left which means half the men are guarding it to make sure it makes it to Russia safely. So we will be splitting up because I need that other chip so Denlinger can finish that car device for me so with that being said I already got my two groups. Oakes, Adolphson, Jah and Nicole you all go to the headquarters on the outskirts of London and get me that chip then meet us in the next country, understand?"

"Got it." Jah nodded.

"The rest of you will be with me...after this we have a couple more jobs to finish up in Russia before we return back to London to finish what we started." Owen said, he noticed Nicole's troubled look and smirked before looking back at the others. "Get ready, we move out in an hour."

Everybody started to pack up, Nicole was about to get up but she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Letty. "Play it smart...I do plan to see you in Russia when they arrive." She said but quickly felt a stab of pain go through her head again.

Weird flashbacks started appearing in her head again but this time it was her holding and playing with a little girl, she saw how happy she looked. Letty took her hand off Nicole and as soon as she did the flashbacks stopped and the pain in her head died down, she let out a shaky breath.

"You okay?" Nicole asked.

"I'm fine." Letty shook it off. "Just do your best." She walked off.

Nicole watched her leave with sad eyes, gathering up the knives she put them in the black backpack.

"I see Jah gave you my gift." Owen said referring to the throwing knives. "I hope they come in handy."

"I think the gun Adolphson gave me will work just fine." Nicole said as she noticed they were the only two left in the computer area. "Why are you splitting me and her up again?"

Owen leaned next to her. "Time for you to remember the second reason why you are here and that's to help and work for me. Now it hurts me to take you guys away from each other so soon-" He said and got a scoff and eye roll from her. "but there is work that has to be done. It is time you grow up Nicole and realize you have to defend yourself...your mommy and daddy won't be there to save you all the time. You have to see what it is like to come into a situation where you have to chose to live or to die, now I know you don't like killing, what kid would? But if it's either their life or yours, what will you do? Will you let them kill you and have this all be for nothing or will you take them out first?"

Nicole looked down. "I don't know."

"Well if I was you I would figure it out in the next hour." Owen says as he rested a hand on top of her head. "I wish you luck and here is some good advice for you-" He bent so he was at her level. "make no mistakes or we may not see you in Russia and I will hate to have to tell Letty that. Since she looks so close to remembering you."

Smirking he ruffled her hair lightly before walking off leaving her there to think.

After an hour went past it was already night time, the first team had left for Russia as the others had made it to the outskirts of London. Nicole had her hair brushed up in a high pony tail, she wore a pair of black cargo pants with pockets on the side, a black tank top, a pair of boots and black leather gloves.

The black backpack was strapped on her back, a couple of the knives were hooked on her hip as the gun Adolphson gave her was attached to her belt. Her headset piece was on as well.

"You guys got a ten second clear opening, go." Denlinger said as him and Adolphson were stationed not to far from the building, he had his sniper gun out watching the surroundings and ready to shoot anything.

"Come on kid." Jah said gathering both of his hands together.

Nicole got a running start, she stepped in his hands as he gave her a boost up to the side of the building, grabbing on to the bars she used them to get up the rest of the way. She slid threw the bars and stooped down to keep from being seen by the gate security, she had to get inside to let down the security system for the gate. Staying low she got closer and pulled out her gun, getting a good aim she shot it as the tranq hit him right in the neck with a pop, he held his neck before falling.

Running over she gave him a sad look, she quickly got on the computer and did what Denlinger told her to do. Pressing the button a small buzz sound echoed followed by the sound of the gate opening up, Jah and Oakes ran inside, she quickly got up following them.

Jah picked the lock letting them go in first, two police had spotted them but before they could really react Jah took them out in a blink of an eye. Three more came making a devilish smirk appear on his face, he looked back at Nicole. "Go I got this."

Instead of questing it she did what he said and ran down the hall, she pressed her headset. "Were do I go Denlinger?"

"Take the steps to the second floor, go in and down the hall the door should be straight ahead." He answered.

Nicole took the steps up to the second floor and opened the door, gun shots echoed making her duck and quickly hide behind the pillar. She held her head and tried keeping her arms in to stay out of the line of fire, to say she was scared was an understatement. Thinking of what Shaw said she took out the gun and quickly unloaded it and replaced it with the red pack, she took the safety off, and waited until the shots stopped.

Taking a deep breath she moved and aimed before shooting at the four cops and managed to hit three of them as the other one ducked out the way. Seeing an opening she ran ahead to the door, her legs was grabbed as she fell on her face making her turn around to see the other cop that wasn't hit.

The guy eyes widened. "Your a kid?" He questioned in shock.

Nicole got one of her legs loose and kicked him in the face, this made him release her she rolled back and shot him in the chest sending him to the floor. It really did sound like a real gun shot and the pain looked to be there but the fact that he was still alive somehow made her feel a little bit better.

Getting to her feet she opened the door and two guys were sitting at the computers, one guy quickly turned around but before he could react Nicole shot him down with no hesitation. The other guy had noise canceling headphones in, she walked over and knocked him in the head with the handle of the gun, he fell out cold next to the other guy.

"What now?" She pressed her head piece.

"Use one of there ID's to get in the other door that will secure you from there. Once your done grab the small gray case and meet Jah back downstairs. And hurry up you got more people coming your way."

Taking one of the ID's she put it against the scanner and it beeped showing a green light, opening the door she went inside and looked around at the base inside and saw the gray case. Running over and taking it off the stand a loud alarm went off making her hold her ears and she mentally slapped herself for doing that. She quickly put it in her back pack, hearing voices and footsteps coming her way she started to panic on the inside and looked around for another door.

The footsteps were getting closer as she could hear shouting, she looked over and saw the entrance to a vent. Using the table as her steps she removed the gate before climbing inside and up the vent just in time as the cops and more people ran in.

Ignoring the shout of orders that one guy was making she crawled as quietly as she could through the vent until she came to a safe spot where she didn't see any cops. Moving the guard to it she jumped down landing on her feet, she ran out to the stair well and down the steps.

"There you are." Jah called out running over to her. "You got it?"

"Yea-"

"Hey, I see them!" Two cops shouted getting their attention.

One of them went after Jah which was a big mistake, the other one grabbed Nicole by her arm and twisted it. Crying out she dropped the gun from the pain as this allowed him to grab her other arm. Using the move Jah taught her earlier that day she jumped and used both her feet to kick him. He let go as both of them fell back, he drew his gun ready to shoot, she didn't know why but instinct some how took over, grabbing one of the knives she spun around throwing it.

Her eyes widened as it hit him in the chest through the heart, he fell to the ground, she covered her mouth in shock not knowing why she just did that.

Jah smirked. "Nice throw, now come on!" He helped her to her feet.

A still shocked Nicole picked up her gun and quickly ran following Jah, one cop blocked their way out but was completely knocked out the way by Jah. Another cop ran behind Nicole trying to catch up with them, Jah looked back and saw this he stopped making Nicole do so as well. Jah picked her up by the waist, she used her feet to kick the guy back down the steps and into the other guys that were coming as back up..

He put her down as they continued running and made it downstairs to where Oakes was waiting. "The car is out front! Lets go!"

They ran out and across the lot, going through the gate they jumped inside the black truck before it sped off down the road. Nicole heard cop cars following them and looked back to see at least three of them following them and at full speed to but the others didn't seem fazed.

"We got company." Oakes pointed out.

Adolphson smirked. "They are not getting far."

"Nicole the case." Denlinger held out his hand.

"Here." She quickly took it out the bag and handed it to him.

Quickly opening it up he took out a chip and put it inside of the laptop as Jah was getting a weird gun ready, she raised a brow in curiosity. Aiming out the window he shot the gun three times while Denlinger was typing away on the laptop as if waiting for something.

"Chip one is ready." Jah said.

With a press of a button she watched the cop car flip out of nowhere making her eyes widen in amazement. When he called out that the other two were ready the other cop cars did the same but much worse.

"Nice!" Jah high fived Adolphson.

"Thanks to the chip this gun works fine now." Denlinger said.

"What just happened?" Nicole questioned still at lost from watching those car flip.

"A new device." Denilinger showed her the gun. "See with this chip and that gun you can shoot out these censors that latch on to the car and once ready you can over ride the system and make any car go crazy. Once in Russia I will make a little adjustments to make it work a little fast but you did great."

"Yeah kid." Jah patted her back. "Wait until we tell Shaw."

"Looks like your one of us after all." Oakes said. "Since your still alive."

Nicole figured that was the best of a compliment that she was getting and took it, leaning down in the seat more she let out a sigh. Her mind flashed back to when she threw the knife at that cop, a hint of pain went through her chest, she never had to do that before and didn't even know why she did it her body reacted on it's own. Holding herself she curled up in the seat and looked out the window as she replayed everything that just happened back at the building.

It wasn't even a week yet and Shaw was already turning her into something that she wasn't.

The Next Day

It was night time when they reached the base in Russia it was underground and a bit smaller then the last one but still very big and spacious. When the car pulled inside Owen looked up from talking to Letty, Vegh, Ivory, and Klaus he saw everybody get out and a proud smile crossed his face when Nicole walked from around the car he noticed a look of relief sweep across Letty's face.

"So I take it as you got it?" Owenn asked.

Denlinger held it up. "Just need to make a few adjustments but it works great. We tested it out already."

"Great, how was it Nicole?" He looked over at the girl who remained quiet. "Nicole."

"It was a job I got it done end of story." Nicole said, she walked off. "I need to use the bathroom."

Letty watched her disappear in the back, she looked to Jah. "What exactly happened?"

"Well I don't know what else she had to do but the kid threw one of the knives and hit the guy right in the chest and from my point of view it actually looked cool." Jah explained. "I gotta say I was worried about having a kid on board but that girl was in and out there in fifteen minutes no less and that is a good time for a newbie. You were right a lot of the cops were hesitant to shoot when they saw she was just a kid Shaw."

Adolphson said. "She's got great aiming and throwing skills."

Owen nodded and for the first time ever he felt proud of somebody in his team, of course the others did good things at times but Nicole was younger which meant it was tougher for her.

"I told you she would come in handy." Owen said. "Leave her for a bit she took her first life so give her some time." He waved it off sitting back down.

An hour had passed as Nicole was still outside getting some fresh air, she always wanted to take vacations and see the world but not like this. Her hair was now out it's pony tail she had changed into a pair of jeans and light blue v-neck long sleeve shirt with a pair of tennis.

Seeing she was alone she pulled out something from her pocket, it was a cellphone. She managed to take it from one of the guys that she had to knock out in the control room. Nicole pondered for a minute before dialing a number and putting the phone to her ear as it rung a couple times.

"Please be the right number." Nicole mumbled.

"Hello?" Gia's voice came in on the other end.

"Gia." Nicole said happily.

"Who is this?" Gia asked confused.

Nicole brows furrowed together. "I-It's me Nicole listen I know-"

"Is this some kind of joke?" Gia's tone was now full of anger.

"Gia what are you-"

"Look I don't know who you are but this is not funny." Her voice cracked. "My bestfriend died a week ago so this is the wrong time to pull some stupid prank call."

"Wait a second Gia I-" The phone went click as Nicole stood their wide eyed, puzzled of what she had just heard with her own ears.

She was dead? How?

Shaking her head she quickly got on the web on the phone and went to Gia's Facebook page and saw pictures of a memorial for her set up in front of her and Gia's favorite spot by the school.

In Memory of Nicole Ortiz Toretto

"No...no I'm not." Nicole pulled at her hair as she paced back and forth. "Who would..." She was about to question it until her eyes turned dark, she marched back inside the hideout.

Nicole walked back inside with her fist clenched by her sides, she ignored everybody else and walked over to where Shaw was sitting as he was doing some paperwork.

Taking the phone she slammed it on the table getting everybody's attention and making Owen look up from his work. "What did you do?" She asked in a dark tone.

Owen looked back down at the papers. "Nicole I have no idea what your talking about."

"I know your lying because that stupid smirk of yours is on your face." Nicole pointed. "You think what you did is funny? Who do you think you are?"

Owen eyes traveled back up to meet hers as he was still smirking, they had a stare down. "All of you give us a minute...now."

Nobody questioned it but Letty looked back at her with a concerned look since she never seen Nicole look so upset before and with that glare she almost looked like her especially when she frowned.

Once the sound of the door shut Owen spoke. "Is there a problem Nicole?"

"Why is it going around that I'm dead?" Nicole asked. "My friends think I'm dead which means...oh God no." She covered her mouth thinking about Dom and felt a pain in her chest only imagining how he was taking it. "You had no right to do that Shaw none."

Taking the phone he stood up. "This is a nice picture of you." He said looking it over with a nod.

Nicole looked at him like he was insane. "This is not about that picture."

Owen threw the phone to the floor before stomping it one good time. "I told you Nicole...I told you before you got in that car with me that once you did the life you had before you met me is over."

"That's why you blew up the car. You didn't wanna just kill them you were staging my death... your sick." She shook her head.

"I did what I had to, I mean I gave you a warning and you could have tuned around and walked away but you got in the car and as soon as you did you confirmed your own death."

"No, no do not make it seem like I should have seen this coming." Nicole pointed. "My family and my friends think I'm dead bad enough you took my mother from them now you made it seem like I'm dead to!" She backed up going to leave. "Your crazy."

In one swift move she was yanked back, Owen gripped the back of her head with force making her hiss in pain. "No your crazy for even trying to contact somebody outside of this team without notifying me about it first but you found what you were looking for. So let's talk about it, shall we? When I took you from Braga I was giving you a chance to be more and look your already progressing here and making things more easier." His grip tightened on her hair. "Nicole you know what your problem is? You want a happy life without sacrifice and that is not how the world works if you want something you have to give up something. In this case you gave up being Nicole Toretto and being with your friends, and family to come see your mother again and be by her side. And I'm giving you that but remember I am also the one that will take it away in a blink of an eye." Yanking her one good time he made it so she was looking at him, she tried to hit him but he quickly grabbed her wrist and smirked. "See? So much fight and anger in one child and that is what I wanna see that is why I have you here."

"Get off me." Nicole gritted out.

Owen glared. "Not until you get what I'm telling you." He said in a stern voice. "Now I'm willing to look past this phone incident since you been doing such a great job but that was strike one you have only two more left. And Nicole I would hate for you to strike out...or should I start calling you Hailey Shaw now? Since that is what it's gonna say when a cop tries to pull up information about you because there is no Nicole Toretto working for me...she died a week ago." Owen says making her look at him with fearful eyes, he dropped her to floor. "If you hit strike three with me then Nicole Toretto really will be dead and you won't be going alone either."

Nicole looked at him wide eyed as she rubbed the back of her head, she started to get who he was referring to. "No pleas-"

"No need to beg you two are still safe." Owen stooped down to her level looking at her, when he saw that scared look back in her eyes a smirk curved back on his lips. "I have to say though, I don't think I would be able to pull the trigger on you or your mother." He moved her hair out her face. "That is how fond I grown of the two of you. So tell me something now that I think your starting to get it, what is your name if asked by others?"

"Hailey Shaw." Nicole said, her voice came out shakey.

"And what happened to Nicole Toretto?" He asked.

"She died in a car explosion back in Mexico a week ago." Nicole said.

Owen nods as he rubbed the side of her head. "Now you understand." He stood up to his feet. "Go on and get some rest."

"Okay." Nicole stumbled to her feet, she turned around and walked away from Owen and headed to the back.

Owen watched her leave with a smirk before heading back to his table, he sat down and continued his work as if nothing had just happened.

Later on that night Letty had came back in from going out to get some air, she had her jacket draped over her shoulders as she headed down the hall. She had to clear her head as those flashbacks and headaches were getting worst, she started remembering how her car crashed in the first place.

It was because of some guy then another guy appeared in her head and for some reason the sound of his voice made her more sad and she couldn't see his face as it was still hazy. Not to mention that little girl was still in her head and that voice of her calling somebody mommy kept getting to her the most, was she a mother? If so where is the kid? Is she still alive and with her dad or is she dead?

Going past one room, she stopped and walked back. Opening the door she saw Nicole laid out on her side sleeping soundly but with a pained expression on her face. Letty walked over by her bedside and stooped down next to her, she eyed Nicole carefully and for some reason seeing her made a soft smile appear on her lips.

Nicole gripped the pillow as a hurt look crossed her face. "I-I'm not dead." She mumbled making Letty's smile drop into a sad frown as she looked at her confused. "Mommy." A couple tears fell from her eyes that were still closed.

Letty figured she was having a nightmare, resting a hand on the side of her face she used her thumb to wipe away the tears that she had already shed.

Her eyes flickered open from the feeling of somebody touching her face this made Letty take her hand back. "Sorry, you looked like you were having a nightmare and you were crying in your sleep."

Nicole rubbed her eyes with a nod. "Yeah, that is kind of normal since I been here I'm actually glad you woke me up."

Letty scoffed. "Nothing about that should be normal Nicky."

"Well it-" Nicole paused when she caught on to something, she sat up more. "Y-You just called me Nicky."

Letty stopped and gave her a look, she was right she did call her Nicky but she didn't know why the name just tipped naturally of her tongue. "Yeah, I did."

"Why?"

"The nickname just came to me, why is it a big deal?" Letty questioned.

Nicole shook her head. "It's not I just haven't heard that name in a while."

"I see." Letty nodded, she stood to her feet. "Well I'm gonna go get some sleep."

"Hey." Nicole called out making her stop. "Do you think you can stay?" She asked and saw Letty's brow raise. "Just until I go back to sleep."

Letty gave her a long look before giving in with a sigh. "Fine but just until you go back to sleep." She threw her coat on the chair before flopping on the bed across from her and got comfortable. "You better not snore."

"Your the one that snores." She mumbled.

"What?" Letty lifted her head up.

"Nothing." Nicole answered back quickly.

She didn't care what Shaw threatened her with or who he wanted her to be she was only here for one reason. Hearing her mother say her nickname made her hope come back to her just like that and she refused to be broken by Owen. But if her and Letty were gonna make it out of this then she had to play along for as long as she had to even if that meant turning into the person Owen wanted her to be.

"Goodnight Letty." Nicole smiled pulling the covers more on her.

It was a short silence in the room. "Goodnight Nicole." Letty finally answered.

Well that was chapter one so it looks like Shaw staged Nicole's death and Letty said Nicole's nickname. Not to mention Nicole is now gonna start playing Shaw's game with him, get ready to see some changes in the next two chapters coming up not to mention Nicole is older. But leave me a review telling me what you think of this chapter and remember the next chapter will either be out today or tomorrow but it's coming! Until next time!

Chapter 22 - Nicole's Code & A New Attitude
