Lusitania, Spain.
My eyes blinked tiredly as I stood next to Shaw, between getting no sleep and having to wake up earlier to travel into Spain undetected I was exhausted, and it didn't help that I had a bad feeling about today.
I knew Toretto and his crew was smarter than Owen made them out to be, I had a sneaking suspicion that they, along with Samoan version of Captain America would catch onto our plan quickly.
"Shaw, everyone is in place. All things moving according to plan", Jah announced as he jogged towards us, I gave him a small nod as Owen looked into the binoculars he was using to watch the military base.
"Good. Send him in."
Jah obeyed the order like a dog who had been through intensive training, without a second thought he quickly bounded back down the stairs just as fast as he had run up them, the rest of our 'team' were preparing the equipment we were about to use.
For the first time since Owen had picked me up out of that hospital, the silence between us was evident and uncomfortable "So first time in Spain?" Owen questioned like a boy on his first date.
I glanced towards him with a raised eyebrow that clearly read 'really?'.
"How would I know?" I asked him, letting out a small laugh when his face turns a subtle shade of red. "I hope not though, it's a beautiful place," I sighed, thinking to myself.
"And you speak the language," Owen added as he pushes my shoulder slightly with a playful look; he had been trying to gauge my reactions to him all morning.
Did he really think I didn't know his game?
I crossed my arms, attempting not to smile at him "Si señor" I was trying to act normal with him, but after what happened with Letty and Dom had me thinking my life was more than what Owen had told me.
But I didn't want to think that he would lie to me so easily.
Not only because he was the only family I had but because if he could lie to me, that means Deckard lied to me too. I hated to think that the two people I cared most about in the world could be playing me like a toy.
"Time to go," Owen said suddenly as he grabbed my arm gently and pulled me towards the stairs leading down to the jeeps we had been working on specifically for this job. "Let's move out."
Climbing into the back of the vehicle, I turned to Owen with a frown, "You didn't tell me why Vegh and Klaus went to a different location when this is the last component. Shouldn't they be here with us?" I questioned as he just patted my back with a smile.
"Sometimes you had to have an ace in the sleeve" Was all he said as Jah climbed in next me, and Denlinger got behind the wheel, leaving me to wonder what the hell Owen was up to now.
He was always one step ahead of everything.
The closer we go to the convoy, the harder my heart pounded against my chest. "Nervous?" Owen questioned when I gripped his leg to stop myself from being jolted in the jeep.
White-knuckling the bar, I shrugged, "A little," I answered, playing down the truth, now wasn't the time to be truthful about how terrified I was. Even with all the street races and precision driving, my 'accident' was still in the back of my mind.
Jumping from car to car didn't help the small pang of fear I felt knowing one wrong move could put me all the way back to square one, or worse.
"Don't worry, Sweetheart, after this, we'll never have to see these people again. You and my brother can run off into the sunset and make me plenty of nieces and nephews to spoil" The joke felt a little too real for me, especially since I had been dodging Deckard's calls.
Though the look of Owen's face was honest, he truly believed that we'd make it out of here together – It was like he expecting nothing else like it was all part of the plan.
"Here we go, boys and girl!" Denlinger shouted from the front as our jeep bumped into the military vehicle in front of us, giving me no time to question Owen. The three of us in the back quickly got to our feet, Jah jumped on the vehicle in front and began shooting into the roof.
Fixing my earpiece I followed in Owen's lead as he pulled himself onto the military truck, this felt way too familiar for me. "Game time," I mumbled, climbing out of the car as I unsteadily stood behind the two men praying that I didn't fall.
"Holy shit," I gasped as I jumped from one vehicle to the next, the wind was pushing through my hair forcefully as I stood at the top of the truck.
Owen reflexively grabbed my arms as I nearly lost my balance. "Owen, if I die, you'll be the first person I come back to haunt," I jokingly glare at him as he just smirks.
The truck speeds up as Jah opens the hatch "son of a bitch," I growled angrily, trying to stay on top of the truck, "Don't look down," I repeated to myself as Owen carefully helps me climb down through the hatch.
Getting into the tank, I moved to the chair in front of the screens as Owen sat next to me. "Ready?" he questioned as I pushed the buttons, starting up the tech we'd need and connecting to the satellites "Hold on tight."
Grabbing on the bar above my head, I braced myself as the tank flew forward causing my stomach to turn, I felt a hand on my arm as the heavy-duty machinery lands hard once out of the truck.
Jah taps the screens in front of him before calling back to us, "All systems go."
I glanced at my own screens before glancing down at the protective hand still holding onto my arm. "Everything looks stable," I mumble to Owen, who takes his hand back with a silent nod.
"We got company, guys" I heard Denlinger's voice call through the earpiece that was connected to each of us "Toretto is coming right at you" My head shot up as I realized my gut feeling was never usually wrong, Toretto's crew were on our tails.
Feeling an intense looked on the side of my face I knew Owen was waiting for my expression to change, this was my chance to prove to him I was willing to do anything and take out anyone for him "Okay. Get the weapons hot. Give me satellite imaging".
Turning to my screen, I began to prepare the imaging as I was asked, following his orders instantly, just as Jah had earlier, without question and without morals.
"Straight ahead of us," I informed, not knowing whether it was the right decision or not.
"There you are," Owen sniggers as he moved the turret to face not only Dom's crew but innocent people before letting a shot fire, my heart jumped seeing a car go up in a fireball – someone completely innocent just got blown up because of my help.
"Okay, Jah. Take it to the other side" I glanced at Owen in wonder as Jah forced the truck onto the other side of the road "Let's have some fun" my breathing faltered as we began to crash into anything in our paths.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I shouted at Owen, the person I thought I knew, but seeing the grin on his face made me feel sick. "This isn't part of the plan," my words fell on deaf ears as we continued on our path of destruction.
Hearing Owen laugh after seeing people jump from their cars make me question if I truly knew the man next to me "Owen seriously you don't have to do this" I held on tight feeling the tank rock as I tried not to think about the person in the car we had just flattened.
"We got one right in front of us" Sitting forward, I glanced at the screen as I noticed a white Ford Mustang fastback in front of us with Roman Pierce at the wheel.
What the hell was he doing driving in front of a tank?
"Boom" Was the only thing Owen said before letting another explosive out of the barrel, barely missing Roman's car as the man hit the brakes suddenly, but in doing that, he was now trapped in front of our tank.
"What the hell Owen!" I shouted at the man who just laughed "This isn't what I signed up for" I say as he turns to look at me, his face still lit up with a playful smile as he patted my arm patronizingly.
"Don't worry Sweetheart, all is fair in love and war" He said as his eyes gleamed with vindictiveness, he was doing this out of spite not because it was necessary. He hated that Dom and Hobbs had almost thwarted his every move, "Oh, look, a bridge."
The tank jolted slightly as Owen shot at the bridge, "Damn it, Owen, this isn't war! Those are innocent people!" I hiss as the feeling of being wrong finally clicked into place. "You taught me if something didn't feel right, it was usually wrong" His eyes locked on mine as I pleaded, "This is wrong."
"We're dragging a car behind us," Jah interrupted our stare before he let out an amused huff. "What the hell?" Owen and I frown at Jah's tone, and both glance at his screen, "Is she really doing that?".
My stomach tightened as the image of a woman standing on top of a car greeted me before she made a flying leap towards the top of our tank, Owen's eyes narrowed on mine as I let out a worried gasp "Letty."
