We walked inside; we could hear people talking, some in English and some in Spanish. We came around the corner, there two African American men, two Hispanic men, and a woman. I didn't know any of them; it worried me just a tad. I smiled when I felt Jesse grab my hand and lace our fingers together. Han glanced at us before he walked closer to the woman. We followed him slowly.
"I thought cockfights were illegal in Brazil." He said to the woman as he popped another snack into his mouth. He then offered the woman the bag. She glanced down at it before a familiar voice caught our attention.
"I see you all have met." Dom came walking towards us, the same as ever. We smiled and began walking towards him; I noticed Mia and Brian behind him.
"You know, when you called me to Rio I assumed it would be for something more exciting than this." The woman said as she walked up to Dom and gave him a hug. I smiled as I let go of Jesse's hand and walked over to Mia, pulling her into a hug.
"It's so good to see you again." She said as she hugged me back tightly. It was nice to see her again.
"You too Mia." I smiled at her as I pulled away. She smiled widely at Jesse, pulling him into a hug as well. Jesse and I moved to hug Dom, before Brian caught his attention.
"Yo, check this out. This is Tej. Best circuit man on the East coast and this is my boy Roman Pearce. We go way back, I met this guy in Juvie. I pulled that job with him in Miami." Brian explained as he introduced the two black men.
"I've heard about you." Dom said to him. Han walked over to Dom.
"Nice digs." Dom looked at him.
"Yeah, well, the Ritz was sold out." Jesse and I smiled at the joke.
"So, what's this all about Dom?" Han asked.
"Yeah, why'd you drag us half way around the world?" Jesse asked. I blinked when I remembered I never told Jesse the exact reason for us coming to Brazil.
"Because we got a job." Dom answered. We then made our way to a table in the middle of the room.
"Alright, so our target's name is Hernan Reyes. And he runs the drug scene down here. He's never been busted because he doesn't leave a paper trail." Brian explained the situation to us.
"No paper trail means no banks. No banks means cash houses." The woman whose name I learned was Gisele said.
"That's right." Brain confirmed the thought. "Ten of them to be exact, spread throughout the city." Brian opened up a map; it was of Rio with places marked off where the cash houses were.
"And we're going to hit them all." Dom said as he took a step closer to the table. Tej froze for a moment before glancing at all of them before turning back to Dom.
"All of them?" He asked to make sure he'd heard the man right.
"All of them." Dom confirmed. Rome began to rub his hands together.
"That sounds crazy. You bring us to a whole other country so we can rob the dude that runs it?" He asked. I nodded slightly; he did make a good point. "I thought this was business. Sounds personal to me. Is that what this is? I got a love for ya'll but personal ain't good business. I can't do this homie." The man began to walk away. Dom watched him out of the corner of his eyes for a moment before he turned back to us.
"So what we're talking about is $100 million dollars." Rome stopped and turned around quickly.
"You say what?" He asked. I couldn't stop the smiled that appeared on my face. "Hundred… See, sometimes I be over thinking, man, and I know we just met, but you just, kind of, got to…"
"That's right, $100 million and everything we take, we split even." Dom said, looking around the circle at us.
"That a little over $9 million apiece." Tej quickly did the math in his head. "I am down."
"I'm in." The Hispanic man I came to know as Santos said.
"Nine million…" Rome said as he leaned his hands on the table in front of him. "Sounds like a whole lot of vaginal activity to me." I shook my head and rolled my eyes. Typical man. Jesse kissed the top of my head and I smiled at him slightly.
"You can't pull off 10 heists on the same mark." Gisele said, bringing up a very good point. "You just can't."
"Yeah, as soon as we hit the first one, they're going to do everything they can to protect the rest." Han said. I glanced at Dom; I could see the smile spreading across his face. I leaned my elbows on the table, looking at him.
"Why do I get the feeling that is what you want them to do?" I smirked up at him. He looked at me and smiled.
"Because it is." Everyone glanced around at each other before turning their attention back to us. Now to put his plan into action.
