She knew this was going to happen, she knew it would come down to this. She stood behind the three guys in her life shaking her head. They were going to take down Reyes. They were going to take everything from him. "First we are going to need a chameleon. Someone who can blend in anywhere." Dom replied.
"What else?" Brian asked.
"A fast talker. Someone who can bullshit their way out of anything."
"I got that." Brian smiled.
"This guy is going to have a lot of surveillance. We are going to need someone who is good with circuits. Reyes is going to have walls. We are going to need someone who can punch through those walls."
"What else?"
She looked back and forth as the guys continued to name people they needed to take down Reyes. "Utilities, weapons. Someone who isn't afraid to throw down. Someone to back up every position."
"Yeah, what else do we need?"
"Most importantly, we are going to need two precision drivers. Guys that don't crack under pressure. Guys that never lose." Dom had a smirk on his face causing Gabriella to laugh. She moved Brian to the side as her began to talk.
"Oh you know we got that." Brian smiled.
"Yeah, I can be one of them cause we know you can't race for shit."
Dom let out a loud laugh as Brian wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "How about we race for it?"
"Oh you are on. I might be a little rusty but I know I can take you…again." She shoved his arm off of her and walked back into the building. Harrison was laughing as he walked over to her wrapping his arms around her waist.
"You have got to lay off on him a little."
"He likes it." She looked behind her as Brian watched them. "You two been able to talk?"
"A little bit. We all talked last night. I learned a little bit about his father."
"You didn't know him?"
"We have the same mother, he never really knew his father. He is scared to death about this baby."
"He should be. He needs to be. I don't know how she is going to have a baby during all of this."
"What about you Gab? What are our plans for the future?"
"I don't know." She shrugged her shoulders with a small smile. "I see you in it. That's all that I see right now. I want you in it. But I also want to survive this."
He nodded his head as he ran his hand down the side of her face before leaning in softly and kissing her. She smiled up at him. "We have an audience." He whispered to her. She shook her head at him.
"I don't care." She stood up on her toes kissing him again wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Okay!" Dom yelled. "That's' enough. We only need one sister having a baby right now."
"Really?" Gabriella yelled turning around to him. "It's not like you and Letty never did that?"
"Oh me and Letty did a lot of stuff…"
"Wow!" Gabriella let go of Harrison and walked away.
"Let's get one thing straight…" Dom walked over to him as Gabriella sat down on the stool. "You might be his brother but that's my sister…"
"What he is trying to say is…" Brian chimed in.
"I will break your fucking neck if you hurt her." Dom smiled. Gabriella began to cough as Harrison looked over at her.
"Let me tell you something…" Harrison moved forward. He was so close to the two guys. "I have been with her through the worst and through the best. I haven't left her side for a second. I don't plan on it. She is my best friend. She is one of the strongest people that I know who loves her family more than anything in this world. I love her just the same." He shook his head. "Now if we are making threats right now, let me make one of my own. She just got her family back so neither one of you needs to take that away from her. She is happy…almost. You do that, I will break your fucking neck."
"Your boy is brave." Dom moved closer to Harrison.
"Yeah, what can I say? He's just like me." Brian laughed.
"Can we know the testosterone off for a minute please, I think you guys need to come look at this." Gabriella replied. She turned the computer around with Reyes pulled up. "Look what I found."
"You really shouldn't be nosey." Dom replied shutting the computer on her.
"Hey!" She yelled. "You guys already knew about him?"
Brian nodded his head. "We got this Gab. You want to drive, you can drive. You let us deal with Reyes."
"Whats the plan though? We just go and take this man's money?"
They both nodded their heads. "Yeah, and then we go wherever the hell we want to go and live our lives."
"Anywhere?"
Dom bowed his head. "Except the states. They aren't going to let us back in."
"Look Gab, I know you didn't ask for this…" Brian started.
"I asked for my family back. That's what I got, I guess it comes with the territory."
"Dom can I talk to you for a minute?" Gabriella asked walking away from everyone. The whole team was due to arrive any moment now and she was becoming anxious. There were many questions she wanted to ask and she needed the answers to. She needed to know what happened in Los Angeles. She stood outside waiting on him to come out.
"You okay?" Dom asked putting his arm around her shoulder.
"We trust all these people coming to us?"
"With my life." He kissed the back of her head.
"I want to know Dom. I want to know what happened to Letty back in Los Angeles." He sighed.
"Gab, I can't-"
"I know that you think that I am still your teenage sister who was scared of everything. I will admit I am scared to death right now, but I can handle myself. I am twenty six years old Dom, I'm not little anymore. You have to stop treating me like I am this fragile little girl who is going to break at any moment."
Dom bowed his head. "I just want to protect you."
"From what? Life?"
"Everything. I don't want you to have this life."
She wrapped her arms around his body laying her head into his chest. "I've been destined to have this life since I was born, I love my life. I love having you as my brother and racing in our blood."
"You have lost too many people."
"You have too."
There was silence as they stood their together. "I don't know exactly what happened, I saw the ground and the methane. He flipped her car as they sped around the corner, it must have flipped five or six times. It finally stopped and she climbed out. He knew how much NOS she had in her car, he had to have known. He shot the car and it blew up with her in it. I found out about Braga I guess right around the same time Brian did. I was hestitant at first to work with him, but I saw that we had the same goal. We went after him, I wanted Felix. He was the one who killed her. I could see it in his eyes. It was him…"
Gabriella grabbed his hand in her eyes nodding her head. "We did the job almost getting ourselves killed in the process, but we made it out. I saw him when I came out of the tunnel. Felix. I wanted him dead. I rammed into his car causing him to flip, and I swear I didn't think about it. I couldn't think about it. I just hit him. I ran my car straight into him. I didn't blink. I killed him. Brian looked like he was about die-I didn't know what to do. We were both so banged up. But I knew I had to get home. I knew I had to come back to you."
"But you didn't come back to me."
He nodded his head. "I couldn't run anymore."
"Why not? Why couldn't you just leave again? We would have found each other…"
"When?" He raised his voice. "When did you think that was going to happen?"
She shook her head. "Eventually. I wanted you to be where I knew no one could get to you. Do you remember when you got arrested the first time? After dad died? You had beat Lender and you were home. I went running out to you and told you I would run away with you, I would go anywhere in the world with you Dom just to know that you were safe."
"I remember."
"I am telling you this now Dom, I will go anywhere with you."
He grabbed her face in his hands. "And I will go anywhere with you."
"Dom, they are here." Brian replied poking his head out of the safe house. Gabriella nodded her head at her brother with a smile on her face. "Let's go."
"I see you have all met." Dom announced walking into the building with Gabriella at her side. She smirked at the people in front of her. She had heard about most of them, there were some that she didn't have a clue about. Harrison was beside with his arm around her waist.
"You know when you called me to come to Rio, I assumed it would be something more exciting than this." A girl approached Dom with a smile. She kissed him on the cheek. Gabriella watched as everyone began to hugging each other as if they have known each other for the longest time. She felt alone.
"Who is this?" Han asked pointing to Gabriella. She smiled at him.
"This is my baby sister Gabriella, she has joined us from San Diego. This is also Brian's brother Harrison." Dom replied.
"Yo Dom, check this out. This is Tej, best circuit man on the east coast. This right here is my boy Roman Pierce. We go way back. I met this guy in juvie. I pulled that job with him in Miami." Brian joined in.
"I heard about you." Roman replied.
"So what's this about Dom?" Han asked.
"Yeah why did you drag us halfway around the world for?" Tej asked.
"Because we have a job."
Roman and Tej stared at Gabriella who just stared right back at them. She smirked as Brian noticed. "Yeah, so let's get one thing straight. This is Dom's little sister, my brothers girlfriend-that won't be happening. I will kill every last person in this place. Don't look at her if you don't have to. She's gorgeous, we all know. Do I make myself clear?"
Roman began to laugh as he nodded his head. "Sure man, whatever you say."
"You are right though, she is absolutely gorgeous." Roman looked Gabriella up and down. She bit her lip as she looked over at Brian. "You sure he's man enough for you baby girl?"
Harrison moved forward as Brian grabbed him to stop him. "If you have to question if he's a man, then it makes me wonder if you are even a man at all. You want to compare penises that's fine but don't come in here thinking you are going to get anywhere near me with yours. I like what I got, when I get tired of it, you definitely won't be the first person I call." She smirked as she walked away. There was silence.
"Feisty. I like it." Roman finally replied causing everyone to laugh.
"Harrison…" Gabriella went to say something but Harrison moved forward.
"You talk a lot of shit…" Harrison was in his face.
"Stop!" Gabriella yelled.
"Oh yeah boy, what you going to do about it?" Roman jerked Harrison forward grabbing his shirt. Gabriella moved to help but Dom stopped her. "You aren't so tough now are you?"
"You know, you do have one big ass forehead." Harrison replied with a smile. Roman let go of him shoving him aside.
"Man screw you." Harrison moved forward as they both wrapped their arms around each other. "It's good to see you man, it's been too long."
"Yeah no kidding, where the hell have you been?"
Harrison shrugged. "Are you serious right now?" Gabriella asked. She looked around as everyone was smiling.
"I'm sorry." Roman laughed. "I have to give him shit. He used to have the girls wrapped around his little finger. It's weird seeing him with just one…"
Gabriella eyed her boyfriend. "Really now?"
"I grew up Rome."
"I see that."
"Now that everyone has gotten that out of your system can we get on with our lives?" Dom asked. "We have shit we have to do."
"Alright so our target is Hernan Reyes, and he runs the drug scene down here. He's never been busted because he doesn't have a paper trail…" Dom started.
"No paper trail means no banks, no banks means cash houses." The girl chimed in. Gabriella wondered who she was.
"That rights, ten of them to be exact. Spread all across Rio. And we are going to hit them all." Dom smiled. Gabriella smiled as Harrison wrapped his arms around her.
"All of them?" Roman asked.
"All of them."
"That sounds crazy. You bring us to another country to rob the man that runs? I thought this was business, it sounds personal to me. Is that what this is? I got love for ya'll but personal aint good business. I can't do this homie…" Roman went to walk away.
"What we are talking is one hundred million dollars." All eyes turned to Roman who just stopped in his tracks.
"You say what?" Roman walked back over causing Gabriella to laugh. "A hundred…see something I be over thinking things man. I know we just met-but-I mean…"
"Yes one hundred million dollars. And everything we take, we split it even."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "I'm in." Tej replied.
"Yeah me too."
"You can't pull off ten heists on the same mark, you just can't. As soon as we hit the first one, they are going to do everything in their power to protect the rest." Han replied.
"Exactly." Dom smiled. "That's exactly what we want them to do."
"To protect it, Reyes will put it all in the same place. We take that one place, we get all the money." Gabriella replied.
"You know how much man power they are going to use?" Tej asked. "A lot."
"You scared?" Gabriella asked. "I've heard stories about you. Scattering cars from your garage to let Roman and Brian get away. Brilliant." Brian looked over at her. "I watch the news." She turned around to stand in the middle of the group. "I actually know everything about every single one of you. Except you, I don't know you." She pointed to Gisele. "It's easy to look someone up, a-friend taught me how when I was a teenager. My brother trusts easily these days. I had to be sure." She shrugged her shoulders.
"That's really hot." Roman chimed in. Gabriella shook her head.
"Let's get going, we need to start this tonight." Dom replied. Everyone moved about accept for Gisele. She stopped in front of Gabriella and smiled. "I'm Gisele."
"Gabriella."
"I have heard a lot about you. Dom wouldn't stop talking about his baby sister."
"How does he know you?"
"I worked for Braga."
Gabriella's breath stopped. She backed away. "No." Gisele stopped her. "He saved my life. I owe him everything. I know about Letty, and I am so sorry. I didn't know who she was at the time."
Gabriella nodded her head. "I am here to help, I want to help."
"Thank you." Gabriella whispered.
"Gab, lets go!" Dom yelled
