A/N - I don't really have an authors note for this chapter but I hope you guys like this one as well and if you left a review on the last chapter then thank you. Also once again I managed to get more then one chapter out so yay me for that but anyway here is another chapter.
Nicole sat in a chair next to Delinger who was working on something on the computer. The whole team was in the area working and trying to recover from what just happened but her head was still on earlier.
Han and Gisele were here which meant that her dad and Brian were probably here in London to, but why were they with Hobbs? She felt horrible for throwing knives at Gisele and Han but she really had no choice in the matter and couldn't answer their questions if she wanted to.
It wasn't the right time for any of that but at least they could probably tell Dom that she wasn't dead and was actually alive. She was wondering if Letty had ran into her father yet and if he found out about her memory being gone...all she knew was that this was turning into one big mess.
The sound of a car echoed through the place, Letty pulled up, she got out the car and closed the door behind her. "Ivory." She called out to him.
"Yo." He stopped working on the car and turned to face her.
Letty threw him her keys as she was walking over to the others. "It's going to need some repairs."
Ivory nodded following her. "No problem, treacle."
Nicole looked up when she saw her. "Mo-I mean Letty." She quickly got up and walked over to her.
Letty gave her a side hug. "What were you about to call me?" Her brow raised.
"Nothing." Nicole shook her head. "Just glad to see your okay."
Owen looked over at the two of them, his eyes went from Nicole to Letty. "Are you good?"
"Yeah." Letty nodded as she let her go. "Of course."
He nodded giving her a glance, he stood up out his chair. "Okay, listen up." Everybody gathered around. "That was a very different breed from Hobbs usual wannabe warriors. We need to learn who these people are and what they're made of, Vegh?" He looked back at her from the side.
Vegh stood up, she let the file fall on the plastic wrapped crates and started pulling out the pictures with background information attached. "O'Conner, Parker, Pearce, Toretto and the rest of the team." She had spread them out.
One picture caught Letty's attention, it was the guy that called her name earlier after bumping her halfway off the road. She din't know why but for some reason everything about him felt so familiar to her.
Inside, her heart was telling her to run over and hug him but her mind wouldn't let her because she didn't know him at least she think she didn't.
Nicole kept her distance from looking at the pictures, her body tensed up when she saw a glimpse of Dom's picture but she was mostly watching her mother's reaction. She didn't look like anything was coming to her but for some reason she could tell her interest was sparked.
"These guys are common criminals." Ivory said as him and everybody looked over the pictures.
"Tonight these common criminals were seconds away from taking us down." Owen looked to Nicole when he said this, she looked down avoiding his stare. "Show them the respect they deserve or it weakens us." He said sternly as he looked back up at the team.
"You might want to see this." Jah said as he pulled a picture out from Dom's file.
Owen took it, the team looked down at it before all their looks went to Letty who started looking confused. "Ring any bells?" He let the picture fall in front of her, leaning back against the table he watched her carefully.
Nicole looked down at the picture a pain went to her chest when she saw it was a picture of Letty and Dom. She was sitting on his lap as they both were smiling and laughing, it was back at the old house and it was the last time they all had a family barbecue.
Letty picked it up, her brows knotted together as she brushed her thumb across it. "Yeah..." She trailed off. "That's the guy I shot."
"You shot him?" Nicole spoke up as concern was clearly heard in her voice.
"Why do you care?" Klaus questioned as they all now looked to her.
"I don't." She shook her head. "It was just a question."
"Yeah, I shot him in the shoulder." Letty said, a feeling of relief washed over Nicole.
"You look happy." Owen said.
"I don't remember him." Letty said with a serious look.
"That's bullshit." Klaus spoke up, Letty slowly snapped her glare over to him. "We got a problem, guys. We got a picture of her with the guy who almost took you out." He pointed to Owen. "Then she failed to take out two of the this new team members." He motioned to Nicole.
"Excuse me?" Nicole questioned. "I missed. It happens, end of story."
"As good as you are with those knives, you mean to tell me you missed a chance to take out two people on each side of you? All of a sudden what, you got bad aim?" Klaus questioned.
Letty watched Nicole look down with sad look, her fist tightened. "Klaus, aren't you team muscle?" She eyed him. "Don't make me come over there and make you team pussy." This made everybody stop with the looks and Klaus quickly shut up.
"She doesn't remember him." Owen waves it off, he leaned off the table. "Names and records aren't enough. I want personal information. Get into their lives and into their minds." He started walking off. "Find their weaknesses and we will exploit them. Come with me Nicole."
"I-" Nicole started to say.
"Now." He said sternly as he walked off.
Rolling her eyes she followed Owen away from the team, Letty watched them leave before looking back down at the picture. It was obvious that her and whoever this guy is was close at one point. Just from looking at his picture a small warm feeling came to her chest.
She didn't know him but for some strange reason wanted to see him again so she could ask him how he knew her and why did they look so close.
The thing she really wanted to know was why Nicole looked like she was ready to have a heart attack when she said she shot this guy. She was still waiting to hear back from Marlver, he said it would take an extra day or two but she didn't complain since she knew it was a hard job. If she did have a kid all she hoped was that he or she was okay and that she could find them once this last job was over with.
Nicole walked with Owen over to another area that was far away from the others so they couldn't be heard. "What is it?" She folded her arms across her chest.
"You disappointed me today Nicole." He leaned back against the table, she gave him an eye roll. "But you also made me proud." This made her focus her eyes steadily back on him. "Those plate bombs went off perfectly which means your learning. So I will forget the fact that you missed the opportunity to take those two from earlier out. Though Klaus was taking it a bit far he was right, you never miss your shot when it comes to throwing those knives. That is the main reason I gave you that weapon because it was a perfect fit for you, remember I told you your loyalty with me will be tested?"
"Yeah..." Nicole finally spoke up.
"Well here is that time. Now I know this might not be easy for you because this is your family but you better still treat them just like they are the enemy." Nicole looked down, Owen leaned off the table and walked towards her. "But, if you want to leave and go back to your father I will understand. I'm sure he misses you terribly after all he thought you were dead for a year and half, do you want to go back? I'm giving you your last chance to leave."
Nicole glared up at him she wanted to smack the smirk right off his face. He was playing with her and she knew it, he already knew that as long as Letty was still with him she wasn't going anywhere. All she really wanted to do was go and find Dom and stay with him, she missed her dad and just wanted to go home but she couldn't.
Owen continued watching Nicole's movements carefully. "Well? Don't you wanna see your family again?" He raised a brow.
"I don't have to listen to this."
Turning around to leave, she got her arm grabbed and yanked back. Using her free arm she snatched the knife from her hip and went to bring it down but Owen being quicker then her, he grabbed that arm to.
A proud smirk crossed his face. "See there's my girl, look how quick you were to attack me? That's exactly how you are gonna be with them...family or not don't you dare show them weakness. Because Nicole I would really hate for you to become un useful to me." His grip on her arm tightened, bringing both arms across each other, he quickly turned her around and pulled her arms across her chest in a straight jacket position so she couldn't fight back. "Also don't forget who's the teacher and who is still the student."
Letting her go he pushed her making Nicole stumbled forward. She held her right arm that was still a bit sore from his grip and glared back at him. "...I don't wanna go." Nicole finally answered.
"See how easy that was?" He came to a stop by her side. "You may need this." Taking her knife he twirled it one good time before handing it to her handle first.
Nicole gave him a skeptical look before taking it from him, hooking it back on her hip she shot him a glare before walking away from him.
Owen watched her leave with a smirk, he already knew Nicole wasn't gonna choose to leave no matter how much she missed her family. As long as he had Letty he had Nicole wrapped around his finger.
"These next few days will be very interesting." He said in a low tone before walking off.
The Next Day
Dom, Brian, and Gisele sat in a opposite area a little ways away from the others. A silence fell between them as they were trying to take in everything that Gisele had just told them about her and Han's encounter with that young girl from earlier.
"Are you sure she looked at you?" Brian asked. "Maybe the girl was just confused because you were calling a name to her. I mean Hobbs did say something about a kid name Nightingale that was on Shaw's team."
"I'm sure." Gisele nodded. "She looked at Han too she just wouldn't respond to either of us. I think she was just shocked to see the both of us there. The only thing difference is this girl had blue eyes and burgundy hair not to mention she was a little bit taller but Dom the face structure was dead on."
He continued sitting back trying to wrap his head around everything, he had to see the kid for himself. Shaw can maybe change hair color and eyes but he would Nicole when he saw her, you could change her appearance but not her personality.
"But if she saw it was you guys, why did she throw knives at you?" Brian questioned.
"That's the million dollar question." Gisele said. "I just thought that you guys wanted to know." She walked off leaving them alone.
Brian leaned back against the rail, giving it some thought he let out a sigh. "I mean all of this just doesn't make any sense."
"When Hobbs gets back we need to ask him more on what he knows about her." Dom said.
"You really think Nicole is still out there?" Brian asked. "It just sounds impossible."
"Usually I would sit back and agree with you Brian." Dom said. "But Letty is alive...which means anything is possible at this point."
"And Brian!" Roman called out making both men look over at him. H pointed to a picture of Vegh that was up on one of the computers. "When did you do this photo shoot?" He joked, Brian chuckled before flipping him off. "I'm just playing man, you know you're the prettiest blonde around here."
Hobbs truck pulled up into the base, him and Riley got out slamming the doors behind them. "All right, lock it up." He called out. "We got two things. First off this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime. They got cameras on every street corner. I got video footage from CCTV of the raid." He threw a drive to Tej who caught it. "Let's track that, see where it leads us and secondly we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol."
They all walked over gathering in a small like huddle. "They ripped off the database of every location that houses the final component that they need." Riley says.
"So where are they at?" Han asked.
Hobbs spoke back up. "There are over two dozen of them around Europe but the list is only good for 96 hours. Which means wherever Shaw's crew is going to hit next it's going to happen within the next four days." The team shared looks. "They got a window and so do we. We gotta move."
Dom nodded. "Hobbs is right, but first we need you tell us about that kid running with Shaw?"
"You mean that little ninja girl that threw the knife at Gisele and Han?" Roman questioned.
Hobbs quickly snapped his head over at them. "You saw her?"
"Yeah." Han nodded. "We had her...but ran into a small problem."
"Who is she Hobbs?" Dom asked.
Riley pulled out a file from the box, she open it and let it fall on the table in front of everybody. "Hailey Shaw, Owen Shaw's daughter but she also goes Nightingale."
"Nightingale?" Gisele repeated. "What is that?"
"They call her that because the places she striked it was always at night. You don't see her coming and she can never be caught on foot or in a car that girl is like lightning." Riley said.
"That must have been the car we saw flash past when were on our way to Interpol." Tej said. "But why the hell would Shaw have some little kid working for him?"
"That little kid can take you out before you blink if your not careful. She's sixteen and more skilled then any little girl I ever came in contact with." Hobbs said sternly. "She is Shaw's knife thrower and carries around a weird gun that has either faze bullets or tranqs inside. It is like playing Russian Roulette with her you never know what the kid is gonna hit you with and just like her father she can never be caught."
"Here I got a picture of her." Tej pulled it up.
The picture slowly formed on the screen, once it was clear Dom eyes widened as he took a step to the computer screen. He studied the picture and like Gisele said the hair and eyes looked different. But the face structure was dead on and the way she frowned reminded him of Letty's look so much.
Brian looked at the picture not believing it himself, she looked a bit older but it looked so much like Nicole and now Dom saw it to.
"Can I ask why all of a sudden you all interested in Hailey Shaw?" Hobbs questioned.
"That ain't her name." Dom said still keeping his gaze on the picture. "And she's fifteen, not sixteen."
Hobbs brows knotted together. "How do you know this Toretto?"
"Because that's Nicole Toretto." Brian answered, making them all look over at him. "That's Dom's daughter...that is how he knows."
Everybody shared shocked looks as they looked from Brian and over to the picture.
"Wait a minute hold on." Roman showed his palms in defense. "You mean the girl that threw the knives at them was actually Nicole? The same girl ya'll said that was nice and all that other stuff?"
Tej shook his head. "This is crazy." He sighed.
"You mean the kid is crazy?" Roman brow raised. "Who taught her to throw knives?"
"Are you positive?" Hobbs questioned ignoring Roman's ranting.
Dom looked at him from the side with a serious gaze. "I know my kid when I see her...at least I think it's her."
"Okay," Hobbs nodded trying to take all of this in. "Bigger question is, how did Shaw get his hands on her?"
A small silence fell through the room. "Don't know but I do know that this just got bigger." Brian said. "Shaw now has more leverage on us if he has Letty and Nicole."
"I gotta see that kid in person for myself." Dom said.
"Impossible." Riley shook her head. "You'll never catch her in the day and even if you go hunting after her at night, how would you know where to even find her?"
"She's right." Han said. "I know it looks like Nicole and probably is but we don't know where she is mind wise Dom."
He shook his head. "None of that matters...I just need to bring her home, both of them." His look went back to the picture, his eyes softened as he stared at it for a while. "I'm coming for you two..."
That was chapter 25 I'm working on the third chapter so we might be looking at another three chapter update this time which I hope is not to much. But in the next chapter things get more interesting not to mention more action is coming up as well. A lot of questions in this, who is gonna find who first? And will when Letty finally remember Nicole? Guess you gotta keep reading to find out and don't forget to leave me a review telling me what you think about these two chapters!
