Prologue
The tall, good-looking man stepped out and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Freedom. He inhaled and savoured the clean, fresh air. It was a warm day and he could already feel the sun prickling his skin as he walked. Behind him he could hear the heavy clang as the door closed behind him, and then a dull sound as it was locked and bolted. Freedom.
Six months. Six whole months of his life taken away from him. Just because he had chosen his friends - no, that wasn't the right word, his *family* - over his profession. But then again, he had broken the law, aiding and abetting known criminals. He had never regretted a single second of it. Jail had been tough but he'd gotten through it. He'd even gotten special privileges thanks to Tanner. He owed that guy a lot. After all, it was Tanner who'd covered the whole thing up. Paid off the truckers and hushed co-workers. How he'd managed to fool the FBI still wasn't known but he'd done it. Toretto and his team were no longer under suspicion for the trucking heists. They were free to go on living their lives. And now, so was he.
