I sighed as we all got ready for the plan, Dom and Brian's cars had been modified engine and outwards. Two cop cars remained the same except for being modified via engine. I watched as Rome and Han walked around in some police uniforms, they were getting ready to leave. Jesse had just finished packing some things into a duffle bag before throwing it into the back of our car. I was worried about him coming along but I knew that we had this plan down and we could do it.
"Okay guys, it's show time!" Dom yelled. "First team in position, let's go."
"Come on, let's do this!" Tego yelled as he walked down the stairs towards the van. Rome and Han got into the police cars and Gisele got on her bike. She took off leaving Han and Rome to follow her. I smiled as I watched Brian say bye to Mia before I could hear the sound of an engine coming towards us.
"Go!" I told Jesse, he looked at me like I was crazy. I think by this time I was the only one to hear the engine. "Look, you're not wanted. Let's not change that. I'll meet you later." He nodded, pressing a quick kiss to my lips before getting in the car and leaving the same way the others had. I reached into my backpack and pulled out my pistol.
"Cops!" Vince yelled, proving my suspicions right.
"Brian, get Mia out of here!" I called to him as I followed Vince away from the truck that had just pulled it. I cocked my gun, it was fully loaded. I glanced over my shoulder; I didn't see anyone behind me. I turned back around only to come face to face with an assault rifle.
"Drop your weapon." He told me. I glanced at him for a moment before holding out my gun like I was going to hand it to him before I spun around and kicked him in the ribs. While he tried to regain his breath I ran towards the cars. I wasn't expecting for the guy to tackle me to the ground. I tried to punch him but he managed to catch both of my wrists, cuffing them behind me back. He pulled me up before pushing my back into the main room, where they had gathered Mia, Brian, and Vince. Dom was nowhere to be seen. A few seconds later, Hobbs and Dom came flying through a window. Hobbs' men walked over with their guns but the large man told them he had it under control.
"Dom! Please stop!" Mia called out to her brother. The rest of us tried to call the man off but he wasn't listening to us. Dom managed to get on top of Hobbs before he reached out and grabbed a wrench. He held it over his head and we feared that we were going to see a repeat of what happened with the man that killed Dom's father. We were surprised when Dom hit the ground next to Hobbs' head. Dom looked up at us, seeing the relief in Mia's face before he stood up, putting his hands on his head. We were then cuffed and put into the back of Hobbs' truck. The ride was silent, no one saying anything until Hobbs' walkie-talkie went off.
"Yeah…" Hobbs said as he brought the walkie-talkie to his ear. He fell silent, waiting for a reply. "We're coming right now. Have the marshals meet us at the airport when we land." He let go of the button, ending the call. Everything was silent again before Hobbs' yelled. "Ambush!" The truck in front of us got blown off the road, we ended up riding through the smoke and running over a parked car. The driver quickly stopped, Hobbs' grabbed his walkie-talkie again.
"Wilkes, suppression fire. Shut 'em down." Hobbs and the other man got out of the truck, shooting the people around them.
"Cut us loose!" Brian said to the woman officer, Elena, still inside the truck with us.
"Come on! Cut us loose!" Vince said. She looked at Dom but didn't say anything as she began to search for the keys. She finally found them in the front seat before she turned to us and un-cuffed us. I slipped into the front seat and found my pistol as well as another. I grabbed them both, making sure that they were fully loaded before I slipped out of the door that Hobbs had left open. I glanced around once I was outside; Hobbs was the only one alive from his team. Dom, Brian, and Vince had found their own guns and we began to shoot the men firing at us. Dom helped Hobbs up and got him into the truck before we followed. Once inside, Elena began to drive away from the scene. Mia glanced back to make sure everyone was okay.
"Dom, Danni." Vince said, catching our attention. We turned to him and I noticed how pale he was. I looked down at his hand, noticing the blood seeping through his fingers. He was bleeding profusely. "You've gotta meet my son, Nico."
"We will." Dom said. I nodded my head.
"He's good kid." Vince said with a smile on his face as he thought about his son. "You know, we named him after you. Dominic."
"You've got my word, Vince." I said as I reached over and laid my hand on his shoulder. He turned and smiled at me.
"You're something else, Princess." I almost cried right there. He hadn't called me Princess in months. I smiled slightly, leaning over to press my forehead to his temple.
"Only for you, Vince. Only for you."
After we had gotten back to the hideout, we called everyone back. Once they were, we explained what had happened. The room was deadly silent. I laid my head against Jesse's chest as we sat and waited for Dom to tell us if we were still going through with the plan or not. He walked out of the garage area. "We need to move. We don't have much time."
"I got us a flight out." Han said, not realizing what Dom's words really meant. "We can leave Rio in the rearview in the next five hours."
"Not to run away." Dom clarified. "To finish the job."
"Are you crazy Dom? We can't." Gisele said. A lot of the team agreed with her.
"It's a suicide mission." Rome said quietly. "That's your man over there on that table. The plan is busted. This is bullshit, man. Reyes knows we're coming."
"He's right." Tej agreed. "They tripled the detail at the police station. It's going to be a wall of gunfire." I stood up, walking away from Jesse to where Dom was.
"Reyes doesn't get away with this." I said as I can to a stop beside Dom.
"It's a trap, man." Han said, trying to talk some sense into us. "You know that."
"Dom, listen to them." Elena said, causing him to turn his attention to her. "Run, before it's too late. Leave Rio. You can be free."
"Running ain't freedom." Dom simply answered. "You should know that." Dom then turned back to the team. "You know you're all free to make your own choices." I jumped slightly when a loud voice spoke up.
"I'm in." We all turned to Hobbs. "I'll ride with you, Toretto. At least until we kill that son of a bitch."
"So what's the plan Dom?" Brian asked. "We can't just go sneaking around anymore."
"We don't sneak." Dom said. "The only thing he cares about is his money. We pull that, we pull him."
"I have an idea." Dom looked at me, I turned to Hobbs. "But it required the use of your truck and a few more tweaks of the cars." Dom watched me for a moment before nodding his head.
"Do what you need to do." I nodded before turning to Jesse.
"Come on." He nodded before following me over to Dom's and Brian's cars. I looked at them before turning to Jesse. "A brush guard would be nice." He nodded before turning to me.
"How fast can you weld?" I shook my head and chuckled slightly.
"I want a snow plow blade on that one. One a little lower that can tip a car…" Jesse nodded and smiled.
"Got it." He placed a kiss on my head before going to work. I took in a deep breath before getting started on my job. Hopefully this worked; we didn't have any time to waste.
