Previously on The Fast and Furious Family Chronicles…
And with that, the two just simultaneously out the helicopter. Dom, Brian, Tej and Rome looked dumbfounded for a second and then realize three things: 1. They were escaping once again 2. Ramsey was more than likely inside and 3. It was headed for the bridge and would explode at impact!
"Shit we gotta save Ramsey!" Brian mentioned, "There's no telling how much time is left before it crashes into the bridge!"
"Leave it to me….I'll save her," Dom said
The other looked at him quite peculiar and Tej asked him "How do you plan on doing that?"
"I'll just climb on top of the chopper and jump to her rescue"
"Do you really think that's gonna work?" Rome asked
"You got any better ideas?"
No answer. Dom opened the door and immediately began to climb out. The wind slapped his face violently as he progressed further and further. Then as he reaches the very top he, closed his eyes and JUMPED!
"AHHHHHH!" he screamed
Hopefully, this plan would work.
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Dom would probably argue that it seemed like hours until he reached the descending chopper. Which was approximately less than sixty seconds away from crashing. He climbed inside and seen Ramsey tied securely down. I guess Shaw figured if they crashed, at least, no one would have been able to save the hacker. He frantically started pulling and tearing at the ropes; followed by removing Ramsey's gauge. The young hacker was caught by surprise on what exactly was going on, and let a loud scream.
"Shhhhh, it's okay I'm here to save you" Dom assured her
"Oh yeah how I'm supposed to trust you?!" She snapped
"I'll explain everything later, but right now we have to leave!"
She wasn't buying anything one bit but realized it was either jump out or end up at the bottom of the pacific.
"Alright then follow the lead"
Dom grabbed Ramsey's hand and guided her toward the opening. He hadn't realized that they were so close to impact, so it was now or never.
"Okay on the count of 3….1….2…..3!"
They both jumped and began spiraling down towards the bridge; hoping that everything would get better before worse.
Brian,Tej, and Roman
"Dom, what's going on….did you guys make it alright?" Brian asked via earpiece
No answer
"Dominic Toretto you better answer this very…."
Brian paused as a loud boom stopped his train of thought. The three men glanced outside and seen that the other chopper and hit the bridge, which made an indent at few of the support cables. Smoke filled the air immediately, suffocating those driving on both ends of the bridge.
"NOOOOO!"
"I can't believe it….."
"We're too late"
Brian, Tej, and Rome exchanged looks with each other; not knowing where to go from here. Thinking they had just lost a family member really puts a damper on things.
The atmosphere had been silent for at least five minutes before a rustling sound had been on heard on the other end of the earpiece.
"Guys, can you hear me?" Dom's voice called out
"Oh my gosh, Dom you're alive!" Tej cried "Where are you, did you get Ramsey?"
"Yes and we landed in some woody type area"
"We're on our way hold tight," Brian said
"Sure thing and afterwards we better head back to LA. I have a feeling that's where they're headed"
"What makes you so sure about that?" Rome asked
"I just know so just trust me on this one"

Later that day…
12:17 P.M
Toretto Family Garage
For the sake of needed a place to talk, Dom decided to close up the family shop. They probably weren't gonna get much business today anyway. The temperature had already reached about 77 and would continue to increase as the day progressed. Usually, when it was that warm nobody usually came in.
Currently, everyone minus Mia and Darryl is all sitting in the break room, discussing what their next move was.
"Ramsey did the Shaw brothers saying anything about other attacks in the near future?" Brian asked
"I don't remember much from these past three days, But I do know that they plan on attacking a big section of Downtown LA"
"Anywhere specific?" Dom asked
"No just places with tons of people"
"Do you guys think it's possible they might try coming after Darryl again?" Letty asked
"Highly doubt it,Shaw probably thinks he's dead" Brian mentioned "Which is good for us since he won't try anything funny"
"Agreed, we're certain they're planning another or yet multiple attacks, the question is….Where to next?" Dom stated
It was now Ramsey's turn to speak up "I can answer that….Since Shaw and his crew don't want anyone finding them it would be more than likely to find them in Abu Dhabi"
"And what exactly is there for them?" Tej inquired
"I gave my friend Saffar a tracking device to hold onto awhile back for safe keeping. Shaw figured out where I left it and knew that be the only thing standing in his way. Hence, why I strongly believe that's where they're headed"
"So what you're saying is that we need to head to the middle east?"
"Precisely, but we'll have to get to the flash drive before they do. Once it's in our possession, I'll plug into my laptop and find out everything needed to know, in order to be successful at taking them down.
"Then it's settled…...We're heading to the middle east." Dom declared "Crew pack a light bag just in case something happens that requires us to stay longer than expected"
"Wait so does that mean we have to fly?" Roman questioned with a slight of concern in his voice
"What other way is there, Boat?" Tej asked sarcastically
"It's possible"
"Is a certain someone scared of heights?" Tej mocked
"Hell to the yes"
"Then why buy your own jet?"
"Because I have the money and what I spend it on is my business"
"Dang man relax it was just a question"
"Of course, it's always a question Tej but, I really know what's going on…..You're Jealous!"
"What the hell kind of shit you on fool?!"
"I'm going all natural but, you can't hide the facts!"
"Facts my black ass!"
The two men continued to argue back and forth; which caused the others to chuckle. Ramsey, however, looked quite confused and whispered to Letty
"Do they fight like this all the time?"
"Yeah pretty much" She chuckled "But it wouldn't be the same if they didn't"
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Later that day….
4:17 P.M
Los Angeles County Hospital
As the Toretto crew prepared for their trip to Abu Dhabi Darryl,was currently typing away on his laptop. He realized earlier that it had been quite some time since he a writing session of some sort; So why not do it when he's in bed for 90% of the day. The young blond didn't mind it so much since he was able to relax and not worry about too much. Good thing it was only the first week of school and, teachers haven't started teaching content just yet. The doctor told him everything was healing nicely but, would still need to be under observation for a few more days. Brian was actually visiting around the same time and, was grinning from ear to ear. He hated seeing his baby brother always getting caught in everyone else's crossfire and suffering said outcome. Which is why he knew what had to be done; to end it all. To make sure that everything returned back to the way they used to be. Just an average family living in Los Angeles

Plane Ride
2:21 A.M
With still about four hours until they landed Brian, still could not fall asleep. Everyone else had crashed around 11:30 close to midnight. Yet something was keeping the older blond from catching some z's. He kept thinking about his visit to the hospital the previous afternoon. Darryl just so innocent and peaceful. He's been through so much in the past few years, and now he must suffer once again in the hospital. Brian wished for once it could have been him.
The blond had been staring out the window for quite some time; admitting the big fluffy clouds in the night sky. Which for some reason triggered him to have a series of flashbacks from a while back.
Flashback #1
Date: February 14,1998
Barstow CA
It was Valentine's day and Brian was so glad, his work day was finally over. He managed to pull a double shift at In-Out Burger which was stupid on his part. But, how was he to know that couples would eat at a burger joint on Valentine's day?. If he had actually gone out and found a date he wouldn't even dare bring her to that dump. The food was greasy and just didn't taste right. However it was a job and what 19-year old doesn't like having money?
Anyways by the time he left work, it was a quarter to 8 and, the sun had already set hours ago. The blond decided to call Roman to see if he wanted to hang out for a bit; considering he didn't have a date either. Which is how they ended up drinking beer in paper bags on the grounds of Barstow High School.
"You don't even know how many times I wanted to do this," Brian said
"Do what?; Drink on School Property?" Rome laughed before taking a sip of his beer "Technically you've already had hence the reason why we graduated a year late"
"Oh yeah, good times huh?"
"If you include getting mocked by our former classmates"
"Screw those bitches, like I cared for a second what they thought"
"I'm just saying" Rome defended
The two remained quiet for a bit as they enjoyed their alcoholic beverage. Brian was glad he was just able to unwind after a hard day and was thankful for his three-day vacation that followed this week. At least then he could catch up on some much-needed sleep and spend quality time with his parents.
Later that night
"Brian we some exciting news to tell you" His mother exclaimed
"Oh yeah, what's that?"
"We're having a baby!" Both his parents chanted
Brian's eyes instantly bugged out as this was something he definitely not expecting. His parents having another baby?. He was finally gonna get his little brother or sister. Granted even though they'll be 20 years apart It wouldn't be hard to bond with them. This was possibly the best he had received this year thus far.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe it!...I'm gonna be a big brother" He exclaimed hugging both parents tightly
"Wow Brian we didn't expect you to be this excited," His mom said
"Are you kidding?; Best news I've heard this year"
"Well the baby is due in November so more good news to look forward to"
"And I can't wait till then" Brian smiled
Flashback #2
July 8,2003
Miami FL
Now with Carter behind bars, Brian and Rome could finally get on with their lives. Well, a couple of days later which made the date July 8th when he got a phone call from Janet ; a neighbor of his parents back in Barstow. It threw him for a loop because he never talked to this particular neighbor unless it was very important. Without hesitation, Brian answers the phone and instantly knew something wasn't right.
"Oh Brian I'm so sorry" She sobbed
"What do you mean?; What's going on?"
"Your mother….has been murdered!"
The blonde froze as his heart skip a few beats and; was having difficulty catching back up.
"This has to be a mistake….Why didn't my Dad called me?"
"He disappeared a week ago and no one knows where he is"
"Disappeared?!, Where's Darryl is he okay?"
"No worries he's staying with me"
"Okay good I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning"
"I'll pick you at the airport….See you then Brian"
"Goodbye"
After hitting "End Call" Brian angrily threw his phone against the wall; smashing it to a million pieces. He then dropped to his knees and began to sob heavily. His mother had died and he didn't have a chance to say goodbye. It was all his fault for having to flee Los Angeles and leaving his family behind for two years. Brian now knew it would be his responsibility to take Darryl back with him to Miami and raise him there. It still wasn't for him to return back to California but, it was a chance he was willing to take. For his mother sake and the entire O'Connor family.
Flashback #3
October 23rd,2003
Miami FL
The rain continued to pour which ended up making loud splashing sounds as it impacted the ground. Followed by Lightning striking multiple times causing nearby trees to fall if they hadn't already done so. Also associated with this lovely storm was Thunder which roared loudly all throughout the city.
Brian was trying his best to fall asleep but had no luck. Ever since his mom's passing and Dad's disappearance, the blond was having a difficult time coping with everything.
The blond desperately to just empty his thoughts and relax. However when he hears crying just down the hall in Darryl's room he instantly jumps out of bed. He cracks open his brother's door and peeks his head in.
"Darryl?" He calls out
"Brian is that you?"
"Yeah it's me, buddy, are you okay?"
"I had another nightmare that some very bad guys came and kidnapped you!...and thought it was actually real!" Darryl cried
Brian instantly wrapped his arms around Darryl's smaller frame, pulling him for a tight hug. He could feel wet tears wetting up his shirt.
"Hey it's okay buddy, I'm not going anywhere?" Brian soothed "How about I read you a story?"
"Okay" he mumbled
After tucking Darryl back in he proceed with reading Cat in the Hat and The Giving Tree
Soon following the second story Brian could hear peaceful breathing; His brother had fallen back to sleep that easily.
The blond leaned in and lightly kissed his brother's forehead before heading back to his room
"Goodnight buddy"
Once back under his covers Brian, never realized how much raising Darryl has affected his life. He had actually grown more as a person and matured deep time. This was something he wasn't expecting but, was something he could get use to.
End of Flashbacks
"Can't sleep huh?" A voice called out
Brian turned his head and noticed Dom standing at the doorway.
"Yep just got too much on my mind"
"I'm guessing it has something to do with Darryl"
"Yeah, I just don't even know where I went wrong…..After my mother's murder, I vowed to always protect Darryl and I've already failed twice!"
"It's not your fault Bri, no of us thought that was gonna happen"
"Still I should have known something was gonna happen eventually and successfully hurt my brother!."
"We'll get them Brian, this time, they aren't getting away, I guarantee that"
"I just feel so bad leaving him in Los Angeles"
"Mia is keeping a very close eye on him, no one is going to try anything funny"
"guess you're right but, I won't feel better until that son of a bitch is slaughtered!"
"I couldn't agree more"
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
3 days later…
Well after running into Owen and Deckard at the Prince's party, things were now escalating even more; making the situation dire and extremely dangerous. The Toretto crew, however, was successful at obtaining the drive and now knew everything they were up against. It should have been obvious that Shaw's crew would eventually relocate back to Los Angeles for an attack in the Downtown District. Which would occur roughly 24 hours from now and wouldn't be pretty. The Toretto crew needed to get back to the States immediately as time was of the essence.
Time Skip
GAME DAY!
September 14,2013
8:39 P.M
Downtown Los Angeles
Nighttime was once welcomed back to Los Angeles on this crisp Saturday, September evening. The crew is now all stationed in various stations around Downtown; just waiting patiently for an attack to take place. Brian agreed to take down Carter, Dom Deckard and Tej,Rome, Letty would handle Owen while Ramsey worked her computer magic.
The city was fairly quiet until a group of helicopters could be heard circling into the area. Most people thought it was nothing and continued on with whatever they had going on. However after multiple missiles were fired towards building massive explosions ranged all throughout the downtown distinct. People then started screaming in terror and took over running.
Brian who was on top of the cellphone tower seen everything unfold and knew this battle wouldn't be easy for either side. But he couldn't let Darryl down again.
"Well, Well, Well if isn't the man himself: Brian O'Connor" A voiced called
The blond turned around and was currently face to face with Carter Verone
"You've really guts don' ya?" Brian questioned "Thinking it's okay to mess with my family. Bad enough it's happened once before…..but now another? You really just don't know when to quit do you?!"
"As I recall back in 2003 you had put behind bars!" Carter snarled "So if anyone should be angry it's gonna be me!, DID YOU THINK THAT MESSING WITH MY OPERATION IS OKAY?!, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!, YOU COULD HAVE HAD EVERYTHING BRIAN!,AND YET YOU CHOSE TO GO AGAINST ME! THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING I'VE STILL GOT 10 YEARS LEFT OF VENTING TO DO! AND YOU AND YOU'RE PATHETIC TEAM WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STOP US! FOR TAKING BACK WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE!"
"You son of a bitch!"
Brian leaped forward, tackling Carter to the ground. He punched the older man a few times before being thrown against the wall very roughly. The blond ended up hitting his head and could already see a migraine coming his way very soon. He coughed up a small amount of blood and, was back on his feet seconds later. Carter now knew this wouldn't be an easy victory.
"Is that all you got?!" Brian asked sarcastically
"Hardly" Carter simply stated
The two men charged at each other ready for the next round.
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
"Hasn't anyone ever told you…..Never mess with a man's family?" Deckard hissed
"Funny I told your Brother the same thing," Dom said "Now it's come down to this"
"Yes it has and only one of us is making it out here alive"
"I think we already know who that's gonna be!"
"Oh yeah?; We'll just see about that!"
Dom charged toward Deckard with a crowbar ready to fight, while the other man pulled out a pistol
"You really thought this was gonna be a street fight?!, You're very sadly mistaken Toretto, prepare to die!"
"Oh Shit!"
Dom frantically took cover behind his car as bullets started flying everywhere. The situation turned bad quickly and would now have to play dirty alongside with Deckard.
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Meanwhile, Chaos continued to rain all throughout Downtown Los Angeles. The choppers from earlier still were firing missiles at anything in their path. Thick heavy smoke filled the atmosphere from all the fires that were being started. Most people had fled out the city and those who were still lingering ran for their life!. Police officials began blocking off sections of the district to make sure nobody else entered the premises. Shaw's men marched in single file lines as if they were in the military; waiting to destroy their next victims.
"LAPD DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" An officer yelled
That just seemed to aggravate the group of men because they ended up shooting the officer square in the face. It was certain that more police officers would surround the area within the next couple of minutes, but they didn't stand a chance against the other group. Even though most were able to make out in time, a handful of citizens weren't so lucky and ended having their take from them for either: breathing in too much smoke or suffering from multiple bullet wounds. Most would say Downtown looked like a war zone; which would only escalate with time.
With Letty and Roman fighting their own battle, Tej and Ramsey were trying to dodge flying missiles.
"How's the hack coming Ramsey?" Tej asked
"Almost done" She replied, "This is actually easier than I…."
The young hacker stared at your computer screen and couldn't believe what message displayed in big bold letter "HACK FAILED, TRY AGAIN LATER!"
"No, No,No,No,No!" She yelped
"What's wrong?"
"We've been blocked, now I can't finish the hack!"
"Well, can't you do an override?"
"No that would never work" She explained
"At least, try"
"Okay here goes…"
Ramsey began typing rapidly on her keyboard, trying to override the block but all of them back as
Access Denied
Access Denied
Access Denied
Access Denied
Access Denied
"See I told you Tej!, the only way to unblock it would be to manually override it"
"Override it where?"
"The Cell Phone Tower located a few blocks down"
"That's where Brian is…..I'll give him a call"
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
The News had been on basically every single channel in California with the headlines: Los Angeles Under Terrorist Attack"
Darryl who hadn't been feeling his greatest all day decided to finally turn the TV back on this evening and was welcomed with the News Report.
"Oh my gosh Brian!, He needs my help!"
And in a flash Darryl jumped out of bed and grabbed his clothes before changing into them. He knew it wasn't the smartest choice for him to leave but, knew if anything happened to his family he would feel guilty and wouldn't be able to live with that on his conscious. The end result more than likely wouldn't be pretty but, that was a risk he was willing to take.
Darryl headed for the window and opened it ever so gently and jumped out. Luckily he was just on the third floor and not anything higher.
Now that the young blond was free, he needed to come with a plan that wouldn't fail, but first, he needed to find out where exactly everyone was.
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
"Give it up O'Connor I will and always be stronger and more powerful than you!" Carter warned
"Never! your time of reckoning has come!" Brian hissed
The two men continued to fight back and forth for at least five minutes before, Carter was able to gain control and began to choke the older blond. Brian tried to break free from the other man's grasp but was having difficulty, with the lack of oxygen. One thing leads to another he's being pushed to the very edge of the roof's ledge.
"You know I was just gonna put a bullet in you and call it good, but now I want you to suffer like how I did in a prison for 10 years!, Goodbye Brian…."
Carter instantly let go of Brian and fell to the ground, he had just been shot!
"Get….Away…..From…..Him!" Darryl snarled
Brian's eyes instantly focused on his younger brother. "Oh my, gosh Darryl!"
"Brian!"
The younger blond raced over to bring his brother back onto the roof
"What are you doing here?!, Do you not realize how dangerous it is out here?!"
"That's a great way to thank someone who just saved your life" Darryl stated sarcastically
"I appreciate it but you need to get out here!"
"Are you crazy?, I'm not leaving you!"
"Darryl Kevin O'Connor you listen to me here right now!...It's bad enough that Dad already took Mom away from us, I can't lose you too"
The younger blond gasped and cover his mouth before saying "Wait so Mom didn't die in a car crash…..Dad killed her?!"
Shit, Brian now just realized what he just said. That was not supposed to come out
"Umm, Ummm" Was all Brian could say
"So all these years you've keep this from me?, When were you gonna tell me this?"
"I wasn't"
"I don't believe this!, Brian how could you not tell me!?"
"Can we not talk about this right now?"
"Yeah you're right" Darryl replied coldly "You probably just want to make sure no more lies accidentally slip out!"
There was brief silence before Brian picked up his ringing phone "Yeah?...Okay sure, bye"
"Tej and Ramsey need our help…...I need to restart the signal from the tower" Brian explained
"You'll never win!"
The two brothers turned to see Carter was back on his feet with a gun pointed at both of them.
"Go! And handle Verone, I'll take care of the override"
Darryl instantly ran at lightning speed toward the tower and headed for the control center. Brian and Carter began another round of fighting.
The younger blond didn't know what he was doing but, then realized that maybe he plug his phone in it would reconnect the signal. Which it did and successfully finished the hack.
Ramsey threw hands up in victory "Yes!, the hack is complete and we're in full control"
"You did it, O'Connor!" Tej exclaimed in the earpiece
"It's over Carter!" Brian stated "It's Over"
"I beg to differ!" He hissed before pointing his gun at the tower and shooting multiple bullets at it.
Seconds later sparks arose which caused a big explosion to erupt; knocking Darryl off the tower
"DARRYL!" Brian yelled rushing over to his brother
Carter took that brief second to escape into the darkness. Brian was so close to finishing him off and once again he was gone
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Rome and Letty had been chasing Owen for quite some time. The two knew it was just a matter of time before either side ran out of Gas. However to their surprise, a chopper headed straight for the younger brother's car and impacted right into it. Red flames brighten their vision and caused them to swerve off to the side.
"HOLY…."
"SHIT!"
"I think I pissed my pants" Rome whispered
"Ditto" Letty replied "Thanks, Guys you saved us loads of time," She said through the earpiece
"So now what?" Rome asked
"We better find the others"
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
Dom and Deckard's fight didn't last too much longer after the hack. Since Ramsey was in control, she steered one of the helicopters toward the parking garage. Seconds later the east half of the structure collapsed after catching on fire from the chopper's impact. Dom knew Deckard couldn't have survived the blast and knew it wasn't worth searching to find out.
Dom watched at what happened to his once beautiful city. Everything had been mostly destroyed and the big heavy smoke was still present. Just to think after all these months of trying to live a civil life, the outcome would come to this. He knew for a fact that this wasn't the end and more was to come in the near future. But for now for his family safety he needed to relocate all of them temporally. But the question is…..Where to?"
