A/N: Some of the last chapter was in Jesse's point of view and now we're back in Danni's. Please review, favorite, and follow!
"Assuming you'll breach the safe, how the hell do we get in?" Mia asked as we looked through all of the maps and blue prints of the building.
"Yeah, I've been thinking about the way in." Brain answered. "The wall to the evidence room, that's alarmed, so that's not happening. Then we got this one here, but there's a guard shack outside, so that's no good. But this one… this one shares a wall with the basement bathroom."
"So what about the money? That's gonna be some heavy shit to move." Rome said as he ate… something… I really wasn't sure what it was.
"Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be a five-ton cash weight." I said as I glanced over the map.
"Yeah, but that's the thing about the bathroom. It has a vent that leads to the parking garage. All we have to do is pop that vent and pass the money through to some waiting cars." He smiled as he looked around the table. It seemed like a pretty fool proof plan.
"Leo, Santos." Dom said, catching the attention of both Hispanic men. "You're up."
It had been about a half hour since Rico and Tego went into the police station. I was a little worried that something had gone wrong and they had gotten caught but then four pictures came onto the computer monitor. "I got it!" Mia said as the pictures came through nice and clear. "I got four cameras."
"That's some high-end shit, too." Han said as he came over with the rest of us. "Marker optics. Hundred-degree field-of-view. Ten seconds oscillation."
"That's a narrow window…" Jesse said as he leaned on the back of Mia's chair, looking at the images on the screen.
"Can't we just tap in and replace the image?" Gisele asked.
"Nah, it's hooked into a digital sync." Tej said. "They would know we were in the system. The best we can do is peek."
"We're gonna need some real fast cars to get through this." Rome said.
"Not just fast. You got a hard right and a hairpin. We're going to need something agile." Han said, pointing to the screen.
"You guys mock up a track. O'Conner, Jess, D. Let's go get some cars." Dom said.
"Nice." Brian smiled.
"Yeah." Jesse said as he stood up to his full height.
"Hell yeah." I said, walking towards the exit.
It didn't take long to find the races but when we did, we felt right at home. Brian and Jesse were smiling. The one thing I didn't miss about the races was the skanks that walked around barely dressed.
"Home sweet home." Dom said as he looked at Brian before us. We laughed before getting out of the car. We walked around, looking at some of the cars with their hoods up. There was some nice shit under them. Jesse was holding my hand and practically vibrating with excitement. I smiled; it was so easy for him to fall back into the way he had been before back in LA.
"What about that?" Brian asked as we came up to a little blue import. "All motor, no tuning issues. I've always wanted one of those." Dom looked at it, I could tell he wasn't impressed but he just wasn't an import kind of guy. I glanced around; a little bit always was a purple Lobini H1. It was cute. I'd have to keep it in mind once we got this car.
"Held the record on the Avenida three years running." The man said as he came around to us. "You got a lot of balls to bring your problems here, Toretto. Not to mention a cop." He turned his gaze to Brian.
"Yeah, we can keep that on the low." He said.
"Word on the street is a lot of people are looking for four of you." The man said. "What? You didn't think we'd recognize you?" He turned and looked at the crowd before turning back to us.
"We were kind of counting on it." I said as I shifted my weight.
"That little coupe may run the streets around here," Dom turned and pointed to his car. "But that monster has never seen a set of tail lights. Ever." The man shrugged his shoulder, unimpressed.
"Well, she's about to." Brian and Jesse laughed while Dom and I smiled. He said something in Portuguese to the crowd before turning back to us. "Let's go, legend. Car for car."
"Car for car?" Dom asked.
"You want it come and get it." He said, opening his arms.
The race was short. Dom had smoked the little coupe, no problem. I smiled and hugged him as he got out of his car. He hugged me back before smiling at Jesse, who took the keys from the guy. Jess came over and handed the coupe's keys to Dom before I grabbed the Charger's keys from his other hand.
"My turn." I said before walking over to the purple Lobini. I looked at it and listened to it. It would definitely be fast but it would be a better drift car, instead of a ten-second car but that was my intention anyway.
"Can I help you with something?" The owner of the car said as he walked over to me, crossing his arms of his chest as he looked at me from head to toe.
"Yeah, I want your car." I said bluntly. He laughed at me before shaking his head.
"Baby, I can't just give you my ride. You have to earn it." I rolled my eyes before nudging my head to Dom's car.
"That monster right there belongs to Dominic Toretto and has never seen a pair of tail lights. We already just look one car off the Rio strip. I think we should have another." The man looked at the car before looking down at me.
"You're racing in that?" He asked, pointing to Dom's car. I nodded my head and he laughed. "Alright, let's do this. Although, it almost seems unfair taking the car away but… oh well." I rolled my eyes before I walked back over, smiling at Dom as I opened the door and got in. I rolled the window down and smiled at the boys.
"I'll be back." I said to them. They all smiled back in reply. I started up the engine, smiling as the car roared to life beneath me. How I missed American Muscle. I really missed my Camaro but I'd have to wait to get my baby back. I pulled up to the starting line; I looked to my left and saw the small car beside me. I revved the engine as a race skank came in front of us.
"Ready? Set… Go!"
We pulled into our home-away from-home; Dom first in his Charger, followed my Brian in his blue coupe, and then me and Jesse in our purple Lobini. I smiled as Rome began laughing.
"Really?" He asked Brian as the man got out of the car. "Where did you get that from? Papa Smurf?" Brian laughed and shook his head before making his way to Mia. I smiled at Jesse before I made my way up to the "bedrooms" to get some sleep. Jesse smiled back before making his way over to the guys. We were all gonna need rest if we were gonna pull off this plan.
