A/N - Thanks for all the reviews and like I promised another chapter for you guys, I stay true to my word on that. Also when I said I would probably do one where Nicole goes to Tokyo I meant she would go and visit after Furious 7, not before then. Anyway here is the update, enjoy!

Chapter 26

Nicole was sitting on the bed in the room, she was looking over the picture of her and Letty with a sad expression. It was already the afternoon time since she spent half the morning training with Jah who was teaching her new moves.

Her was now back to being in curls as she had one side pinned back behind her ear and let the rest hang on the other side. She had on jeans, black boots, white tank top and a black cargo jacket with pockets on it, it was one Letty had picked out for her.

A knock on the door made her snap out of thought, when the door opened she quickly shoved the picture under her pillow. "Hey." Letty walked inside. "Shaw needs you."

"Great, what I do now?" She questioned with a role of her eyes, she stood up.

"I don't know." Letty chuckled. "I think we both have a way to piss him off more then anybody."

"He makes it easy." Nicole said as they both walked out and headed back to the work area. Letty sat in her seat a little ways away from Shaw as Nicole sat down next to him. "You need me?"

"I do." Owen nodded, "Call that cop that was suppose to be sure that footage of the raid was deleted. Make sure he did his job."

"K." She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

When his phone vibrated Owen picked it up but didn't say anything, he just listened to the conversation on the other end. Seeing this both Nicole and Letty looked over at him confused as his once plain look now turned into a frown.

Owen hung up his phone. "Ivory." He called out getting his attention. "Take Jah, and Letty and go visit our little mechanic. We got a couple visitors there and unlike Nicole make sure you take them out." She shot him a look for this.

"Got it." Ivory nodded.

"Lets go." Jah patted Letty's shoulder on his way past.

"Wait why can't I go?" Nicole asked.

"Because I have better things for you to do." Owen simply answered.

"It's alright kid, we'll be back." Letty ruffled her hair on her way past.

"Okay." She sighed.

Nicole watched them get in the Range Rover and pull off, she sighed shaking her head knowing it was the family that was there. She just hoped they would watch their backs carefully not to mention she didn't want Jah or Ivory getting hurt, out of everybody she grew close to the two of them. Ivory helped her when it came to learning more about cars and Jah helped her to improve her fighting skills.

The phone rung a couple times but nobody picked it up, she gave an eye roll before grabbing her keys. "He's not answering. Which means I gotta make a trip up CCTV. One that I really don't want to." She stood up and walked down from the area. "I need some air anyway."

Owen stopped writing to look over at her. "Be safe. Also make sure when your done you come straight back." He said the last part in a stern voice.

"Yeah, yeah." Nicole waved him off, she decided to take the white Spyder GTS instead of the Supra this time. The only people that drove that car was her or Jah. Starting it up she pulled off and out of the garage area and made her way to the security place in London.

Later...

After running into Gisele, Riley, Roman, and Han. Letty and Jah had made their way back to the hideout she was a bit upset that they had lost Ivory. Even though she was more close to Nicole in Shaw's team Ivory was still a good friend to her and backed her up when needed it so she was really gonna miss him.

Closing the doors they headed inside, Owen was working on a big blueprint sheet with Vegh by the table. He looked up when he saw the two of them return and assumed Ivory must have gotten killed, he looked back down.

"We lost Ivory." Letty spoke up. "He's gone." She came to a stop a couple feet away from the work area, the side of her head had a little bit of blood on it. She had gotten the scar because of her fight with Riley who was Hobbs partner she assumed.

"Thanks." Owen dismissed, he went back to working on the blueprints.

Letty gave him a look. "That's it?"

"If Ivory's dead, he made a mistake." Owen says. "If you make a mistake you pay the price."

Her brows knotted together before she let out a low chuckle as she shook her head, this got looks from the rest of the team. "That's a great eulogy Shaw." She nodded, her small smile dropped into a frown. "Are you going to give the same speech for the rest of us when we go out?" Saying that she walked off.

Owen threw his pen down on the table before going after her. He found her over by the garage area working on her car engine, he walked over and leaned against the backward popped hood. "You're the last one I'd have pegged to be sentimental." She continued working as if she didn't hear him he looked her over before speaking again. "I like you, Letty." This made her look dead ahead as he said this. "I dare say I even feel a certain warmth towards you. When I found you in the hospital and you couldn't remember anything. I said to myself, this girl has a gift-" Owen tucked her hair behind her ear. "...she's a blank page. And that made me feel somewhat protective toward you. If something happened
to you or even Nicole for instance. I think I might find that slightly harder to bear."

"Where is Nicole?" Letty asked. "And what's your point?"

"Handling business for me like she normally does." He took a step closer and slightly bent over so they were face to face. "But what I'm saying is I would hate to see you or her make a mistake."

Letty glared at him, she put the tool down before putting her hand on the hood. "I'm going to get some air. If the kid comes back tell her I will be at the race tonight." She said to him before letting the hood fall down, getting inside she started up her car. The engine roared as she quickly backed up out the garage area, hitting a half turn she drove away from the hideout.

Meanwhile..

Brian and Dom were with Tej checking out the cars that him and Hobbs had brought in. Tej did a good job at picking the cars out.

Whipping his hands, Brian let out a chuckle while Dom was testing the last car engine out. He looked over when he saw Han, Gisele, Roman, and Riley come back but they all looked roughed up.

His smile dropped. "What the hell happened?" He asked.

"We met Dom's girlfriend." Riley answered. "She's lovely." She said sarcastically.

"Are you all right?" Hobbs asked.

She sent him a smile and nodded. "Yeah."

Hobbs sent her a nod before going back to his conversation. "Okay Tej, what have you got?" He asked as the whole team looked over at him, Dom got out the car and rested his arms on top of it as he was whipping his hands off.

"I just went through all of that CCTV footage. Believe it or not everywhere Shaw's team is the cameras are down." Tej said.

"That's a hell of a coincidence." Hobbs scoffed. "All right, we're going to pay CCTV a little visit." He slightly hit Riley's shoulder. "Let's roll." She nodded as they both headed out.

"What is that?" Tej asked as Han sat a harpoon like gun in front of him.

"That is a new toy for you." Han said.

"So, what happened?" Dom finally asked the others.

"Shaw's goons showed up and started shooting up the place." Han says.

"Was the girl with them?" Brian asked.

Roman shook his head. "Just Letty."

"Maybe Shaw thinks we already put the pieces together and is keeping Nicole away. If it is her." Brian said.

"Maybe." Gisele said. "But we got something big."

Dom looked over at her. "What?"

"Braga." She said making Dom and Brian share the same looks. "He's working with Shaw."

Brian shook his head. "What are you talking about?"

Han nodded. "It's true. That phone's filled with coded payment transactions that lead straight
to Braga's cartel."

"Who the hell is Braga?" Roman asked.

Gisele looked over at him. "He ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico and my old boss. We used codes just like that
to move money out of the country."

Brian felt a pain of guilt come to his chest, this was all his fault. If he would have never put Letty in then Nicole would have never got in this mess either, everything about this was starting to make sense.

"It all makes sense." Brian said. "Braga was running Letty now he's working with Shaw, it would explain how the two of them met. When he got his hands on Nicole it was probably the icing on the damn cake for him, she was probably his target the entire time." He shook his head and looked over at Dom. "Remember the day we went for her, Braga said it himself that Nicole chose to leave. He must have told her Letty was alive and then gave her to Shaw."

Tej nodded. "Okay, so you all know all this information about him. Where do we find him?"

Brian through the rag and paced a bit. "He's sitting in a prison in Los Angeles."

Han looked over at him. "How do you know that?"

Dom spoke up. "Brian put him there."

"Damn." Roman breathed out.

Brian nodded. "All right, so this is the break we were looking for. If the two of them were working together, Braga will know what Shaw's up to. I'm going to pay him a visit."

Dom gave him a look, he knew Brian probably felt guilty for even putting Letty on in the first place but it made it worse now that Nicole was involved.

"Are you serious right now?" Roman looked at his friend like he was crazy. "Think about what you're saying. You're wanted Brian, the moment you step foot off that plane it's a wrap. You're not coming back."

"Coming back?" Tej repeated. "How are you going to get in the country?"

"Let me worry about that." Brian sighed, walking over to the car, he rested his hands on top of it while looking over at Dom. "This is on me, I'm the one that basically served both of them up to Braga. I got them both into this I'm the one that gets to make it right. Let me make it right."

Dom didn't want to send Brian back by himself but he knew that he needed this if he was gonna let this go. "Be careful."

Brian nodded, he pulled out his phone and walked off to make a call.

Hobbs and Riley had just got done talking with one of the guys from CCTV, he already could tell that one of the guys were working for Shaw but he didn't know which one.

"I know one of them bastards are in there working for him." Hobbs said as they headed downstairs

"I feel bad if you found out which guy it was." Riley joked until she noticed something, she stopped in her tracks making Hobbs do the same.

"What's up?" Hobbs looked back at her.

"Look." She pointed to a little ways down the hall.

It was Nicole with a pair of shades on as she was leaned against the wall talking to one of the CCTV guys that worked there.

"Now who says Nightingale doesn't come out during the day." Hobbs said lowly. "We gotta keep her alive...for Toretto. I really wish there wasn't a possibility that kid is his."

"You wanna take her down that bad huh?" Riley asked and received a nod.

"Hey!" Hobbs called out getting their attention, him and Riley started making their way towards them.

Nicole snapped her head in the direction she heard the voice, leaning off the wall she took off her shades and looked to see Hobbs and Riley coming after her. "You gotta be joking." Not wasting another minute she took off, they quickly started chasing after her.

People were quickly trying to move out their way when they saw them coming, she ran into one room and pushed people out her way. She kicked a table over that was only able to stop Hobbs for a second, Riley simply hopped over it like a hurdle. Reaching the other door, she was about grab the handle but got her hair grabbed by Riley, taking her head she slammed it into the door. She went to do it again but got elbowed in the face, blocking her hit with her arm Nicole need her in the stomach before punching her hard across the side of her face.

Riley stumbled back holding her cheek, she knew one thing if it wasn't Dom's daughter it was definitely Letty's as both girls had mean right hooks to them. Going to swing again Nicole ducked it and hit her with a kick in her back sending her face first into the door.

Riley quickly turned around, charging after her she tackled her to the ground but Nicole kicked her over top of her in one swift move like nothing. Rolling back up to her feet Nicole threw two knives at her, Hobbs grabbed Riley out the way from being hit with them. Nicole took advantage of the distraction and ran out the door, she ran down the other hall and headed down the steps going out the Emergency Exit.

Running around to the front, she kept on going and was trying to remember where she had parked her car, hearing more voices she saw some of the local cops chasing after her. She turned back around and quickly started running again, she made it to the streets were traffic was and took a chance with running across the busy streets.

Hearing a loud car horn she stopped wide eyed, as a car was coming right towards her at full speed she wanted to move but was to frozen with fear to do so. She let out a scream as she was quickly tackled out the way by Hobbs, both of them landed hard on the ground until they came to a rolling stop away from the cars.

Leaning up Hobbs looked down at Nicole who was now unconscious on the ground under him, he let out a sigh before pulling out his talkie. He didn't mean to tackle he as hard as he did but it was either that or she would have gotten smack by a car.

"Riley I got her. Pull the the truck around." He said before hooking it back on his hip, he lifted her up easy, looking on the side of her head he saw a little bleeding. It was either from him tackling her or when Riley slammed her against the door earlier but he imagined she would be knocked out from that tackle, they both landed hard.

Putting her in the back seat, him and Riley had drove back to the base so she could get her head tended to and at least everybody could see if it was really Nicole Toretto or not.

Everybody had looked up when they saw Hobbs truck pull up, Brian had already left not to long ago so he could make his flight back to LA. He had called in a favor to an old friend that would help him get inside the city and back out once he got what he needed.

Riley got out, she closed the door behind her. "Toretto." She called out making Dom stop his conversation with Han and Roman. "We got something for you."

Hobbs lifted her out from the car and closed the door with his side, Dom and everybody quickly stood up when they saw him holding the knocked out young girl. Dom walked over to him but his eyes remained on the girl he had in his arms, seeing her on the computer screen and in person was different.

"We found her at CCTV talking to one of the workers. She put up one hell of a fight I'll tell you that but she got knocked out when I tackled her out the way from a car about to run into her." Hobbs explained. "She's got a little cut on the side." He motioned to the bleeding area., he looked at her before up at Dom. "Is this her?"

Dom put his hand on top of her head and brushed her hair out her face. "Yeah...yeah it's her." Throwing the rag to the side he carefully took her from Hobbs. "Gisele bring me that first aid kit." He says walking off.

"On it." She quickly walked off to get it.

He headed to another area in the base and laid her down on the couch that was there, he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of her. Just like last time she grew and was getting more older, he saw the knives and gun attached to her hip and shook his head before removing them.

"None of this is you kid." Dom mumbled as he sat all her knives and gun on the floor, the hair color was cool but that wasn't Nicole's hair color. He had to calm down the rage that was building in his chest from Shaw trying to change his daughter and to giver her a new name.

Shaw might could change her name but Dom knew for sure that attitude of her was going nowhere. He took the kit from Gisele and started cleaning off the wound she had gotten from earlier. Once he disinfected it and it was all clean he had put a bag of ice on the back of her head, he felt a bump back there so just to be sure he iced it.

Taking her knives and things he walked back over to the team and put her stuff down on the table, Roman picked one of her knives up. "Like seriously how does an innocent girl that looks like that, throw something that looks like this?" He tried twirling it but failed miserably as it dropped to the floor making everybody look over at him. "My bad."

Tej shook his head. "I can't believe I'm saying this but leave the twirling to the kid."

"So it's her?" Han asked.

Dom nodded. "It is."

"Is she gonna be alright? I would be a little daze to after being taken out by the Hulk." Roman said, Tej snickered at the look Hobbs was giving him.

"Keep talking you will be dazed in a second." Hobbs said.

"She's gonna be fine probably just needs to recover from that tackle." Dom said.

"It didn't hurt that bad." A voice said behind them.

All of them turned around to see Nicole standing there with the bag of ice on her head. "I rather would like to be knocked out for a bit then be ran over." She said stepping down to the lower level. "I guess I should thank you...but if you didn't chase me none of this would happen so I'm not gonna Hobbs." She put the bag of ice down and rubbed her head.

"She has your attitude." Hobbs said to Dom.

He kept his look on Nicole as she walked over to him, she looked him over. "What? No Hi?" She smiled but it was a fake one. "I get it." Nicole nodded. "Let me guess, your still mad at me for leaving, right?" Dom just continued looking at her. "Well I'm sorry.." Her voice started cracking. "I'm sorry for a year and a half that you thought I was dead, I am sorry for the things I said back to you in LA. But I am not sorry for coming to stay with my mother... the woman had me at sixteen and gave up her life to raise a kid. Something that she barley knew how to do. I couldn't just leave her out there with no family watching her back and you had Brian and Mia but she just had herself. Nobody knows how it feels to have the woman that raised you look at you for a year as just another person, I had to endure that. I had to push away my selfish thoughts and stay with her because I knew if it was me she would do the same thing. Mom never left me and even when she did she came back and now it was my turn to grow up early and go to her, I couldn't just leave her with Shaw. You have no idea what I had to go thro...and." She couldn't even get the words out as she had tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I'm just really sorry." Nicole started breaking down, as she pulled at her hair a bit, she shook her head. "Please say something to me...please."

"Come here." Dom pulled her in a tight hug as she started crying harder, all the built up anger and hurt that she was holding in was finally coming out.

"I missed you so much." Nicole cried gripping on to his shirt. "I wanna come home...please take me back home." She said in between cries. "I...I don't know who I am anymore. He made me hurt so many people...I didn't want to I swear I'm not that monster people think I am. I had no choice. I had no choice." She repeated as she shook her head. "It was always me or them or I had to deal with Shaw."

"I know your not Nicky." He rubbed her back, he had to hold back his own tears from seeing his own daughter break down the way she was. "You never were." Cradling the back of her head he held her tighter, just the fact that she was really here and was never dead was all that mattered to him. He had to rock her a bit so he could try and calm her crying down but it was no use as the tears kept falling. "I'm gonna take you both back home I promise. Remember what I told you when you were young, hm? I told you no matter what you did I will always love you and I still mean that."

Everybody else looked on with small smiles it was happy to see them finally reconnecting but they couldn't but feel bad at the same time.

Her crying continued. "I-I love you too daddy." She buried her head in his chest. "I'm still your little girl right?"

Dom let out a throaty chuckle. "You never stopped being her and never will." Kissing the side of her head he continued hugging her. "No matter what Shaw says. You are my daughter and he will find that out real soon..I promise you that."

That was chapter 26 and I'm happy because I am almost to 30 chapters! But Nicole and and Dom finally meet again even though she had a small breakdown but it was gonna happen at some point, right? Anyway I think we all know what's coming next...that's right it will be a Dotty chapter with a little bit of Nicole in it. Also I got something big for the next chapter so you are gonna wanna stay tuned but leave me a review telling me what you think, until next time!

Chapter 27- I Walk Away When They Do
