III - Stahelski vs Carter
Today's the day. We're gonna pull this heist off. Roman and Han would pose as police officers. Gisele was making sure the weapons were ready and the others were just getting ready.
"Hobbs and Carter are on the other side of the city. We're not going to get a better window." Mia informed us. Alright, let's do this.
"Okay, guys, it's showtime! First team in position, let's go." Dom said and everyone got ready. Gisele got on her bike and I rushed to her and gave her a good luck kiss. Then they all went.
"Hey, Dom." Vince called out.
"I got eyes on Mia." He assured him. It's nice to see his protectiveness over her still to this day.
As I was about to say something to Dom, I heard a vehicle and I looked to see Hobbs and Carter's men!
"Cops!" Vince shouted and we all ran.
I ran to the far side of the warehouse but then I felt a kick to my back, making me fall forward and I managed to use my momentum to roll and turn to see Carter staring me down.
"We found that tracker chip! Not as dumb as you may have thought! You're going down, faggot!" She snarled at me and I charged at her and swung a punch to her face and she stumbled back before grabbing my arm and twist it so that I can be incapacitated. Of course, that won't happen because I kicked her in the groin, making her grip loosen and I slip my arm away and spin kicked her.
"Is that all you got?!" I challenged her and she tackled me to the wall and threw me through a window. I got on my feet and hid as she jumped in. Then I battle cried, tackling her and slammed her head to a cabinet making her get a cut to her forehead and then I punched her to the back but she elbowed me and I let go
She then smashed my head at a mirror and then the wall.
"What is your problem with me?!" I asked her as I pushed her away and punched her legs.
"You deserve to be punished for leaving your father to die!" She yelled at me before smashing us through a wall and to the ground and punched me over and over again. I somehow managed to uppercut her in the jaw, causing her to stop and I kicked her away.
"Why should you care?! He's a sack of shit who treated me like dirt!" I argued back and then I punched her repeatedly. But then Carter shoved me and she stood up and looked at me.
"He was teaching you important lessons! The same ones he taught me!" She answered.
"Why does he mean so much to you?!" I asked her.
"He was my uncle! And he was the only family I had left until I found out about you!" She spat. WHAT?! SHE'S MY COUSIN?!
"He didn't know what he was talking about!" I barked at her and swung at her but she dodged it and kicked my leg and then wrapped her arm around me to try and knock the wind out of me.
"You took my family from me. So I'll take yours away from you. Including your girlfriend." She hissed in my ear. That. Is. It. NO ONE THREATENS MY FAMILY AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! Everything was now in red.
Third Person
After Dom and Hobbs had finished their fight, everyone heard a roar from the other end of the warehouse. This roar was filled with animalistic rage that would even make Dom scared. Dom, Brian, Mia and Vince knew it was David and everyone turned to see David and Carter smash through a wall with David shoving Carter into a table and he shoved her to the ground.
They all watched as David slammed his fists into her chest and face with blood coming from his knuckles. The look on his face was horrifying rage and even Hobbs was taken aback. Mia and Dom were scared to see him like this.
David then took Carter's head and proceeded to slam it to the floor, trying to shatter her head in.
"David!" Mia screamed out in fear. He didn't listen as he roared and slammed Carter's head in still.
"DAVID, STOP!" Mia screeched and this time, David stopped and he looked up at her and the others to see their looks of horror on their faces. They had truly never seen him like this and seeing their faces made him stop and realise what he was doing. He has never taken a life before and he was so close to killing his cousin.
He stood up and looked down at the woman as she was getting up.
"You don't know the meaning of family, cousin." David spat in pure hatred. Everyone was shocked to see that Carter is David's cousin. They never knew. Not even Hobbs.
David's POV
Hobbs and Carter arrested us and put us in their truck in cuffs.
As they were driving us through Rio, I was just silent the whole time. I was just shocked to know that Carter is my cousin and that I nearly killed her. I had never really killed anyone before and I nearly made my first kill on someone who was technically my family. The police officer looked at me. I know, but I didn't look at her. I just couldn't look at anyone fearing that they'll treat me differently.
"Ambush!" Hobbs shouted and I heard an RPG go off, destroying the truck ahead of us. The truck then stopped as who I guess are Reyes' men started shooting at us.
"Wilkes, suppression fire. Shut them down." Carter then ordered one of their men.
"Stagger-step, cover us." Hobbs told the driver and he got out.
"Watch them!" Carter then told the police officer as she and Hobbs got out and started shooting.
"Cut us loose!" Brian barked at the officer.
"Come on! Cut us loose!" Vince then barked.
After thinking about it for a short while, she eventually let us out of the cuffs and then me, Brian, Dom and Vince got out as Reyes' men killed all of the men and were about to kill both Hobbs and Carter.
However, we grabbed some guns and started to shoot at them all, stopping them.
I looked at Carter, who was on the ground with a wound to the arm and she looked at me in fear. Fear that I would kill her. And while it felt good to be feared by her, I couldn't kill her. In fact, saving her just might let her see how family means so much to someone.
So I walked up to her as Dom did with Hobbs and I let my hand out to her and she was a bit surprised to see me do this but grabbed ahold of my hand and I pulled her up, wrapping her arm around my shoulder. I saw Dom do the same with Hobbs.
We then made our way to the truck while Brian and Vince gave us covering fire.
We then got them in and so did we.
And the officer drove us out of there and headed back to the warehouse.
"Hey, Dom." Vince said in a weak state, which made me look and I saw that he got shot!
"You've got to meet my son. Nico." He told him and I was crying knowing that he was about to die.
"I will." Dom said.
"He's a good kid. You know, we named him after you. Dominic." Vince revealed. I broke down upon hearing that.
"You've got my word, Vince." Dom promised. And right there at that moment, Vince closed his eyes and he took his last breath.
I now cried like it was the end of the world. Vince is now gone. He's GONE!
Dom saw how broken I was and he hugged me the whole ride back. Why did this have to happen to me? I find out I have a cousin and then someone I considered a brother dies not too long after.
When we got back to the warehouse, me, Brian and Dom carried Vince's body and placed him on a table and then covered him with a sheet. Carter, Hobbs and the officer, Elena wandered off to give us space and to soak in what happened. Mia called everyone back and when they did come back, Gisele saw the state I was in and rushed over to me.
"David? What's wrong?" She asked, worried about me and I just broke down again hugging her so tight, scared that I'd lose her.
"Vince is dead." I managed to say and she hugged me back. She knew how much Vince meant to me and she didn't have anything to say.
"And Carter is my cousin." I said. I had to tell her. She pulled back and I saw her look of shock.
"What?" She questioned. I nodded.
"She wanted me to suffer for leaving my dad because she cared for him." I explained as I managed to calm down and wipe my tears away. Then I saw Dom storming up to us with a look of pure determination in his face.
"We need to move. We don't have that much time." Dom told us.
"I got us a flight out. We can leave Rio in the rearview in the next five hours." Han said. No. No, we are not running away. We have to finish the job!
"Not to run away. To finish the job." Dom said, agreeing with me.
"Are you crazy, Dom? We can't." Gisele disagreed.
"It's a suicide mission." Roman agreed with her.
"That's your man over there on the table. The plan is busted! This is bullshit, man. Reyes knows we're coming!" Roman then pointed out.
"He's right. They tripled the detail at the police station. It's going to be a wall of gunfire." Tej added. I curled my hands into fist, angry at Reyes for all that he has done. To Rio. And to us.
"Reyes deserves to pay for what he has done." I said coolly.
"It's a trap, man. You both know that." Han said.
"Dom, David, listen to them. Run, before it's too late. Leave Rio. You can be free." Elena told us. How? How can we be free?
"Running ain't freedom. You should know that." Dom told her.
"You're all free to make your own choices." I then said, which made Gisele look at me in disbelief at what I just said.
"We're in." We heard Hobbs say. We all looked to see him and Carter looked ready. Carter's arm was bandaged up.
"We'll ride with you. At least until we kill that son of a bitch." Hobbs proclaimed.
"And I must make up for my actions of revenge and help this family." Carter said, looking at me. It seems that saving her did have an affect on her.
"So what's the plan, Dom? We can't just go sneaking around anymore." Brian said.
"We don't sneak. The only thing he cares about is his money. We pull that, we pull him." Dom said.
Payback time.
Yep, Carter is his cousin. I had to have someone tied to him that had a different experience with family, therefore having them learn what it means to have one in later chapters.
