Plane Ride From California To Cuba
A little over a month has passed since the events of The Meghan Ramsey Chronicles and it was now time for Dom and Letty's honeymoon to Havana. This was a trip that had been planned for quite some time but so many influencing factors got the way that nothing was actually set into motion till now. Just before leaving LA the couple forbid farewell to the family and ensured their anticipated return of about two weeks, just in time for Darryl and Alyssa's spring break, to which the crew planned another out of state adventure with more details to be formulated in the coming days.
Currently, on their private reserved plane, Dom and Letty sat across from each other with a beer as they soared across the Atlantic ocean.
"This is nice, Dom" Letty mentions breaking the silence while sneaking a glance outside the window
"I couldn't agree more my beautiful wife" Dom adds softly while taking a sip of corolla "You deserve nothing but the best"
Letty gives her husband a warm smile as she gently brushes the hair away from her face.
"Don't sell yourself too short. You also deserve this"
"Agree to disagree. I just hope this makes up for our first honeymoon"
"Hey…."
Letty reaches for Dom's hand and interlocks it with hers while looking deep into her husband's eyes
"You can't blame yourself for what happened before. Besides, everything worked out in the end. We're here together and isn't that what really matters?"
"You're right. Let's enjoy our time together"
Dom reaches for his beer bottle once more to initiate a toast. "Cheers!"
"I'll drink to that"
Letty grabs her bottle and clicks it against Dom's. Proceeding with both of them taking a long and satisfying sip of the alcoholic beverage.
Things were really starting to look up for The Toretto's.

O'Connor Household
Los Angeles CA
"DAMN IT DARRYL! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL TO CLEAN YOUR DIRTY DISHES?!" Brian yelled upon seeing the pile of dishes and plates in the sink
Yet, Brian didn't even know why he was yelling for his brother. Cause Darryl was in school right now with Alyssa. So with an irritated grunt, Brian proceeds to pick up a dish and begins to clean it with hot soapy water.
"I need to stop babying him…"
As the older blond continued on with washing the dishes, the doorbell ringing throughout the breaks up his current grove.
"Oh for fucks' sake!"
Brian quickly dries off his hands and goes to open the front door. On the other side were Darryl and Alyssa's co-workers from The Watermelon Falls Cafe, Dave, and Ashley. In addition to them, the blonde woman seen in (Working Teens) stood alongside them.
"Can I help you three?" Brian asks curiously
"Yes, actually you can. But first, let me introduce myself ...I'm Cipher, Darryl and Alyssa's boss at The Watermelon Falls Cafe" The blonde woman greets while placing out a warm hard as a greeting.
Brian reluctantly shakes Cipher's hand and introduces himself.
"Brian O'Connor. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?"
"Well, I'll get straight to the point Mr. O'Connor. I'm concerned for your brother"
"Why is that?"
"It's very much to explain. Care to sit in my car with me, while I lay everything out?"
Brian looks to Cipher, then to Dave and Ashely. Usually, this would seem like a red flag but if Darryl's manager was willing to drive all the way to their house, the least he could do was hear her out.
"Alright fine. Lead the way"
Cipher paints a platonic smile and begins walking down the pathway of The O'Connor House. Brian followed behind until the group came to a halting stop in front of an undefiable looking car.
"Before we begin. I must ask you one simple question...where is God's eye?"
Brian nervously swallows the lump in his throat. If he did know where the device was, there was no way in hell he could just reluctantly give out information like that.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me"
"Look whatever game you're planning lady...it ain't gonna work. So if you'll excuse me…"
As Brian turns around he's greeted with pistols aimed directly at his chest, with both Dave and Ashley ready to pull the trigger at any second.
"I wouldn't do that. You see Mr. O'Connor, you're gonna do exactly as I say, or…"
Cipher moves closer to whisper into the older blond's ear
"I'll pay a visit to Silver Fox high School and kill..every…last...student..and...staff...including...Darryl"
This causes Brian to tense up and crack his finger. However, his face falls to defeat giving the current predicaments"
"Don't bring Darryl or Alyssa into this! I'll tell you everything"
"Good boy" Cipher compliments
Dave and Ashley lower their guns just enough to push Brian forward until he was in the car. The group then takes off from The O'Connor House to a place unknown.

The Next Day
Havana, Cuba
9:00 a.m
Meanwhile in Cuba, Dom was walking down the streets of Havana in a nearby neighborhood. He had just picked a few things from the market for him and Letty and was on his way back to their apartment. However, during the route, he spots Cipher in disguise. She's desperately trying to get her car started.
"¿necesitas Ayuda? Dom asks
Cipher looks up for the hood with confusion.
"What?" She utters back
"Need a hand?" Dom prompts
Cipher then promptly realigns her sunglasses to fit properly. "Yeah, I think I do"
"Sounds like you aren't getting any fuel"
"Yeah?"
"Let's see we can get some power to it"
Dom gently places the grocery bag down and begins to closely examine the car.
"What brings you to Cuba?" Cipher asks
"The same thing that brings everyone else to Cuba. Culture. People. Beauty. What brings you to Cuba?"
"Work"
"Must be casual Friday" Dom teases
Cipher then takes the opportunity to remove her sunglasses.
"How's that honeymoon going, Dom?"
Both adults lock eyes as the air briefly becomes filled with uncomfortable silence. Dom takes notice of the root cause of the car's problem.
"Your fuel relay is missing" He adds
"I know" Cipher replied holding up the piece
"Look. I don't have time for games so if you got something that needs to be said"
"Oh trust me this a game you'll definitely want to play. That I can assure you...Cause this is Fate"
"I choose to make my own fate," Dom says
"Not today" Cipher states with an unphased expression as she looks ahead to the road. "I put in a lot of work to find you and won't waste a second more"
"What do you want?"
"For you...to work for me"
Dom chuckles at the proposition. "Work for you? I could have saved you a ton of time. Because I work for no one"
"I'm sure you'll definitely change your mind…"
Cipher holds out a phone to which Dom takes and looks at the photo plastered on the screen. It was Brian tied up with blood gushing out from a fresh wound on his head.
"You see Dom. Your team is about to go up against something they can't handle"
"Oh yeah, what's that?"
"You"
As Cipher walks away and prepares to drive off, she leaves Dom with one last parting thought
"Oh and Dom? I wouldn't tell anyone about this"
Well...so much for having a stress free honeymoon
~The Fast and Furious: Family Chronicles~
Berlin Germany
The Toretto Crew soon found themselves in Berlin intending to acquire an EMP device from their military outpost. But it wasn't simple: get in and get out type of job. The Germans weren't fans of foreign invaders taking one their powerful weapons and responded in the only way possible...an all-out action-packed car chase.
"You were only supposed to create a diversion, Roman" Letty mentions over coms as they all zoomed through the military base
"That was a diversion!" Roman defends
"How many of the damn explosives did you use?" Tej questions
"Uhhh...I don't know, all of it?"
"All of it?"
"Jesus Christ, Roman!" Hobbs exclaimed stressfully
The team continues onward with the german military still hot on their heels. With Letty's car being in front of everyone else, She could see an ambush of car head straight for them.
"Looks like we got more of your fan club, ahead"
Just in enough time, the crew was able to make a sharp turn that caused a delayed response from the germans.
"They're taking this personal, aren't they?!" Roman notes
"Roman we just stole their emp and blew up their facility...of course it's' personal"
"Time for phase 2, Tej!" Dom says
This command causes Roman's jaw to drop from anxiety. What the hell did he mean by phase 2?! There wasn't anything mentioned during the team meeting.
"PHASE TWO?! WHAT HAPPENED TO PHASE ONE?!
Tej lets out a dark chuckle "Just relax Roman and don't get hit"
"What does that…"
Roman pauses mid-sentence and takes notice of a wrecking ball swinging right pass them and take out the german military in one powerful motion.
"HOLY SHIT! YA'LL ARE FUCKING CRAZY!"
"I prefer the term...evil mastermind, but crazy works too," Tej says
"But it looks like our plan worked. Now's our chance to escape" Hobbs adds "Let's all regroup at the DSS"
The team begins to drive off in separate directions. Leaving Dom and Hobbs by themselves.
"That was great work out there today, brother. When we get back to the base, beer is on me"
Dom lets out a shaky breath and even with his heart pounding inside his chest...it was now or never to change his Fate and betray his team. So, He quickly swerves over to the next lane, knocking Hobbs' truck off the road, causing it to crash into a nearby ditch. Dom pulls up from behind and proceeded to exit the car.
"Have you lost your goddamn mind, Toretto?" Hobbs grunts in pain
Dom doesn't respond as he reaches inside the truck to grab the EMP.
"You take that EMP you'll have the whole world after you...including me. It's not too late to change this'
Dom looks back at Hobbs with a look of no regrets and then drives off, with a second ambush of German military officials.
"That sum bitch just crossed us," Hobbs says though the coms
"What are you talking about?" Letty asks
"Dominic Toretto just went rouge"
~The Fast and Furious: Family Chronicles~
Mr. Nobody's Base
Location: Nowhere
Darryl's POV
I still couldn't believe what I was hearing. There was no way Dom could just betray the family so suddenly. Something had to be up and I refused to believe anything different. But while I'm talking about family, where the hell was Brian?! He didn't come home last night and wasn't answering anyone's methods of communication. Could it be possible that this had something to do with Dom's betrayal and Brian was in deep trouble? Oh yeah most definitely. I'm trying not to worry...but that's easier said than done.
However, my next question of what our teams' next move consisted of, was soon answered. We all ended up handcuffed and transported to some remote ass location of the unknown. The guy who appended us, Eric, said he couldn't disclose any information till his boss "Mr. Nobody" returned with Hobbs from the prison he was currently n.
What a bunch of bull.
"What the hell happened?!" Mr. Nobody asks as he walked in and took notice of our current state.
"You told me to round them up" Eric states obviously
"Yeah, but I didn't mean…"
Eric then realizes the miscommunication and orders the other agents to uncuff us. lets out an embarrassed laugh
"I'm so sorry for all of this. But now that we're all gathered here together. Time to focus on the main task at hand. Finding Dom and that EMP"
"Couldn't we just use god's eye for that? Roman mentions
"Our plans exactly, Roman!"
"But is there another part of this plan? Once we do find Dom, then what?" Alyssa asks
"That's where you all come in. Once we do have a location…"
Mr. Nobody was interrupted by the intense beeping of the god's eye tracker. There was already a location for Dom. We all gathered around the monitor to see where exactly but couldn't make out anything that stood out.
"Well this is quite interesting," Mr. Nobody said
We all turned to him with confusion.
"Why is that?" Eric questions
"Cause that's here"
Oh shit
Seconds later a mass explosion causes us all to be knocked down to the ground. I could feel some shards of glass that cut deep into my left hand. Worst of all was that I felt so disoriented and with everyone move caused a wave of nausea to appear. I then saw from the corner of my eye Dom and a blond woman enter...alongside with
"Ashley? Dave?!"
What the actual fuck. Was everyone turning against now?!
"Do you all enjoy that? You've been hit with a concussion grenade. It scrambles the senses. Don't worry it'll wear off within an hour"
The group heads for the computer and removes Gods' eye from the mainframe.
"Smart move to put god's eye in the mainframe. Still, don't appreciate having to come all the way down here to get it through"
The lady then turns the group "Let's go"
One by one they all filled out. Dom was almost out, when…
"DOM!" Letty yelps "You're gonna turn your back on family? Just like that?"
My question exactly. But without a second thought, he continues onward, leaving us all motionless on the floor.
This just proved my suspicions. Dominic Toretto...what the hell have you gotten yourself into?!
To Be Continued…
Hey guys,
Sorry, the extremely long hiatus. School and work have been taking up the majority of my time. Also, I tried not to use too much dialogue from the movie, but sometimes when an episode correlates with the movie, it's unavoidable. The same goes for Episodes 9, 10 and 11 from Season 2 that went alongside with Furious 7.
Episode 11 will be a continuation of Fate and serve as the season 4 finale.
Till next time,
~darrylnewman99
