Thanks for the reviews! I hope you enjoy this chapter.


"Han," Dom said, entering his house and grabbing Han into a huge bear hug. He still couldn't believe he was seeing this, that his friend wasn't really dead. Hobbs and Deckard were behind him, standing awkwardly.

"It's good to see you," Han said once Dom stopped hugging him. He nodded to Deckard and Hobbs.

"I see you listened to me well," Deckard said, looking at him pointedly.

"What? I needed advice," Han replied.

"It doesn't matter," Deckard went on. "I'm glad I found you. The mob is after you again. Somehow they know you're alive. They hired me to bring you in, but I'm not going to do that. We've got to find a way to get them off your back."

"How much money did you take from them?" Dom asked. Han just shook his head.

"Enough," Deckard answered for him. "It would take his whole life to pay them back and then some."

"So what are we going to do?" Letty asked. She was hovering by the living room, listening.

"I don't know," Deckard admitted.

"Your buddy Sean told me how he cleared some debt with them by winning a race," Dom said.

"So what, I say I'll race and if I lose, I die, and if I win, I live?" Han asked. "That's a lot of pressure."

"He might be on to something," Deckard said. "A Death Race."

"No! No way," Han said. "I'm not doing that."

"It doesn't sound very good," Letty agreed. "No way to communicate with them and make a deal, huh?"

"Not really. Other option is Han could do a complete makeover. Get a new face," Deckard suggested. Han just stared at him. "What? I'm running out of ideas over here."

"I think if we all pooled together, we could pay off his debt," Dom said.

"Would that be enough though?" Hobbs asked. "I mean, Han humiliated them, took them for their money. Getting it back might not just solve everything."

"It's worth a try," Dom said. Han gave him a grateful look.

"That's a lot of money, Dom," he said.

"You're my brother. You'd do it for me," Dom said. Han nodded. They heard a car door slam outside. Hobbs rested his hand on the hilt of his gun. Even though he was "retired," he still carried it with him at times like this. Deckard even looked concerned for a moment until Brian and Mia came through the door.

"Han!" Brian called, rushing over to hug him.

"Brian, so good to see you," Han said. Mia hugged him next. "How is Jack?"

"He's wonderful," Mia replied. "So is Emily."

"Two kids now? Wow," Han grinned.

"Where have you been, huh?" Brian asked.

"Around," Han answered vaguely.

"Look, Tej is at my place..."

"Don't talk to me about that asshole," Han said, holding his hand up.

"He feels terrible," Brian finished. "He said he didn't know."

"What's this?" Dom asked.

"Tej is dating Han's sister," Brian answered for Han. "Han just found out."

"Ouch," Letty winced.

"You have a sister?" Deckard asked. "That's not good."

"What do you mean?" Han asked.

"If they know you have family, they'll use them against you to make you turn yourself in. Why the hell didn't you tell me you had a sister!" Deckard said angrily.

"It was irrelevant," Han replied.

"Not now it isn't. Shit," Deckard said, going into the other room.

"I also have a daughter," Han called after him, making the entire room go still. Deckard slowly reappeared from the other room.

"What?" he asked.

"Her name's Lei. She is staying with my sister," Han went on.

"This is not good, Han. Not good at all. Were you anywhere near there recently?" Deckard demanded. Han swallowed. That was all Deckard needed for an answer. "You idiot. You f***ing idiot. You've as good as killed them!"

"I didn't know," Han muttered.

"How could you not know!" Deckard exploded. He whipped out his phone.

"Who are you calling?" Han asked.

"My brother. He's gonna get your family and put them somewhere safe. Damn it, Han!" Deckard shouted again before leaving the room.

"Not cool, Han," Hobbs agreed. "When you're on the run, you don't lead them to your family."

"Then what am I doing here then, huh?" Han demanded.

"We have the means to protect ourselves," Dom answered. "I doubt your sister does." Han felt horrible. Why hadn't he used his brain on this one? If they died, he'd never...

"Hold on," Han said. "My parents just died. That's why I went home. You don't suppose that was a setup, do you?"

"How did they die?" Hobbs asked.

"Car accident," Han said absently. Everyone looked at each other.

"Sounds like maybe you were flushed out," Hobbs said for the others. "How did you find out?"

"The media," Han answered. "It was headline news."

"When?" Hobbs asked. Han described the date to him. He flipped through news headlines on his phone. "I can't find it."

"What?" Han asked. He peered at Hobbs' phone. Indeed, there was no story about his parents' deaths.

"Okay, so Owen is on his way to your sister's house," Deckard said, returning. "He isn't too far away from there, actually. He was in the area for another job. What's going on here?"

"Han heard about his parents dying on media, but they can't find the article now," Letty explained.

"Really," Deckard said. This was getting better and better.

"How did they know I wasn't dead?" Han asked. "I thought you had done a stellar job of faking my death? Even I was convinced."

"I don't know. I'm still working on that," Deckard answered.

"The important thing is, we're all together," Brian cut in. "Han is safe here with us."

"You think so eh?" Deckard asked. "These people are powerful. They have a lot of connections."

"So do we," Dom said. He and Deckard looked at each other for a moment. Deckard's phone rang again. He answered while the others stood around unsure of what to do next.

"I don't want to get you guys in danger," Han said. "I'll just disappear."

"You can't do that to your family, Han," Dom told him. "That ain't right."

"Is Giselle the mother?" Mia asked. She had to know.

"Yes. We left Lei with my parents when we came to help find Letty," Han explained. Dom felt sick suddenly. Their separation had been his fault. Giselle's death was his fault. He still felt responsible for that one. It had all been a chain of events that led them to where they were right now, and all because he'd asked for their help finding Letty. He looked over to her, and she was looking back, thinking the same thing.

"We didn't have to say yes, Dom," Han said quietly, sensing this.

"I shouldn't have asked," Dom responded. "If I'd known you had a child..."

"But you didn't. We never told anyone. Let it go," Han said. "We were adults. We made the decision to help. None of us saw it ending that way."

"What's important now is that we find your family," Brian said. Mia looked at him warily.

"Guys, we have a bigger problem," Deckard said, returning again.

"What's wrong now?" Hobbs asked.

"Owen just called. He found your sister beat up and unconscious at her house and no child in sight," Deckard said to Han, who clenched his fists.

"Who did it?" he demanded.

"Does the name Takashi mean anything?" Deckard asked.

"That little punk!" Han exploded. "He's the kid I ripped the money off of behind his back. We were in business together, working for the Japanese Mob."

"That's a lot of motive," Hobbs said.

"Does he have Lei?" Letty asked, worried.

"Owen isn't sure. He searched the whole house. EMS came and took Suki. She's at the hospital now. I'd say if your old friend didn't kill her when he had the chance, then it's not her he's after," Deckard advised.

"Oh my God," Han moaned, clutching his head.

"I'm going to go down there and find Lei," Deckard said. "You need to stay here with these guys." He went out the door. This would be his second time rescuing a kid. Who knew that his life would come to this?

Lei

She awoke with a cramp in her neck. She cautiously crept to the opening of the tunnel slide, peeking out. Everything was wet from the dew. She wondered if she should go home or not. She hopped out of the slide and stretched.

"Are you lost?" a voice asked. Lei whipped around and saw a man standing there, watching her. She shook her head vehemently and took off running. She didn't turn around to see if he was chasing her. Her focus was on where she was going to go next. Lei had never been more afraid in her life. She wanted her parents.

Owen & Deckard-Hours Later

Deckard met Owen at the hospital where Suki was staying. Owen was sitting outside her room when Deckard approached.

"How bad?" he asked. Owen shrugged.

"She was beaten up. They said she'll be fine," he replied.

"Once she's cleared, she needs to join the others," Deckard said. "I'm leaving you in charge of that."

"All right," Owen agreed.

"You didn't find the girl?"

"No. I looked around. There was a park not too far away, but she wasn't there either. Kids usually go to where it's familiar, right?"

"Sometimes. Unless danger is there too. I'll go look for her. Keep in touch," Deckard directed, heading out. It was going to be like finding a needle in a haystack, but luckily for Lei, that was what Deckard was best at.

Brian & Mia

They were driving back home after everyone had made a plan for what to do with Han. He was to stay there at Dom's while Hobbs kept an eye on them. Mia was worried about Brian.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Mia asked.

"Yea. Han's messed up, but it's on him. He should have never went home," Brian said. "I wouldn't have."

"He wasn't thinking. It was his family. I would have," Mia said softly. Brian glanced at her briefly. He knew she would have. They arrived home to find Tej on the front porch. They got out quickly.

"What's going on?" Brian asked, feeling concerned. "Are the kids okay?"

"Yea, man, they're sleeping. I got a message from Suki," Tej said. He met Brian's eyes.

"I know," Brian said. Mia passed Tej and went inside. She knew this would be between the two of them.

"I shouldn't have left," Tej berated himself.

"You didn't know," Brian said, sitting down beside him.

"If I had been there..."

"You'd probably be in the hospital bed beside her," Brian finished. He looked over at Tej.

"Is that supposed to be funny?" Tej asked.

"Just trying to cheer you up. Deckard told us she was okay, that she'll be fine. Just go down there and see her. Don't beat yourself up over it."

"And Lei," Tej went on. "Where is she? Nobody said there was a little girl with Suki."

"She's...missing," Brian admitted. Tej leaped to his feet.

"Missing?! Lei is missing?! Shit! I gotta go find her," Tej said, jumping off the porch.

"Deckard is already searching for her," Brian called after him.

"Yea, but she knows me," Tej said. "He can find her, but good luck getting her to go with him." Tej sprinted to his car, swearing at himself. Brian wondered if he should accompany him, but he remembered his promise to Mia. He sighed heavily and went inside.

"They asleep still?" Brian asked as Mia came out of the kids' bedrooms.

"Yea. He really does a great job with them," she said. "He okay?"

"He's off to Miami. Not sure what he thinks he's going to accomplish," Brian shrugged. Mia wrapped her arms around him.

"He needs to be there. If it makes him feel better, then why not?" she asked.

"I guess." Brian gave her a kiss before releasing her. He went to have a shower. He needed to think. He came out of the shower and checked his phone. He noticed there was a voicemail for him.

"Brian, it's...well, nobody," the voice said. "I think you remember me. Anyway, we need to talk. Meet me at the place. Yea, you know where." Brian stood there frozen. Why was Mr. Nobody calling him? And what place?

"You okay?" Mia asked, stopping in the doorway. Brian turned to her.

"Yea. I'm okay," he said. "I'm gonna go for a drive. I need to clear my head."

"Okay," Mia replied, feeling suspicious. She let it go. She trusted Brian, but at this point in time, she worried he'd go off and leave her with the kids and be the hero again. It scared her. Brian grabbed his keys and wallet before disappearing into the night.

Lei

It was getting dark again. She was scared. She had wandered the streets and kept out of sight all day. The man from the park hadn't shown up again, so she felt safe for now. Lei clutched Woofy to her chest. She didn't know where to go. She was lost. She heard a car engine revving hard in the distance and coming closer. Instinct told her to hide. She crept behind a dumpster in an alley, and she watched as the silver porsche slowed while it passed. She saw the same man from the park behind the wheel. Fear tightened her little chest. So he was looking for her. There wasn't anywhere safe she could go. She started to cry. It looked like this dumpster was going to be her shelter for the night.

Han

Han was lying on his bed while his mind raced. Lei was out there missing. His Lei. He shouldn't be here hiding. He should be out there looking for her. He got up. There was no point in hiding. They'd find him anyway. He was just putting everyone in danger here. He slipped out into the hallway and made his way to the door.

"Going somewhere?" Dom asked. Han jumped in fright. Dom clicked on the lamp beside him.

"Out for a smoke," Han lied.

"You don't do that anymore," Dom said.

"I could," Han defended himself.

"Going to look for her will only make it worse," Dom said. "Leave it to Deckard."

"I'm her father, Dom," Han said. "What if you were me?" Dom was silent at this. He knew exactly what he'd be doing if little Brian went missing. However, Deckard had saved Brian before, so he also trusted Deckard.

"I wouldn't want to go out looking and wind up dead and then not being there for her at all," Dom reasoned. "But that's just me."

"You really think he'll find her?" Han asked.

"I do," Dom answered. Han came over and sat down beside Dom.

"What if she blames me?" he asked.

"She won't. You're her father. She loves you," Dom replied.

"You make it sound so easy," Han complained. Dom grinned at him.

"If Deckard doesn't have her by tomorrow night, we'll go looking," Dom said.

"Just me," Han said. "I'm not dragging anyone else into this."

"No. I go with you," Dom said. "You need someone to save your ass when it gets in trouble."

"Ha ha," Han said sarcastically. He knew Dom was right though. Han couldn't throw a punch to save his life. They sat there talking into the night. Han was still worried about Lei, but he felt better knowing that the best of the best was out there searching for her. It was all he could hope for.
