Chapter 3

"Well if it isn't the famous delinquent team!"

"Shut up, Kumiko."

"Aww, common Vegh! You're too serious all the time. Come shopping with me one day."

Vegh sighed, her blonde bangs covering her forehead. "Someday Kumiko. You've got Pam and Lily to go shopping with, why do you bother me all the time?"

"Cuz I go with them all the time." Kumiko pouted playfully, "That's what you always say, sister! Methinks that maybe you're scared to go out there and shake some hips for them boys."

"Oh I'm not, but we can't all be freeloader miscreants like you and your team! Owen actually has us here for a reason you know, and it's not to waste our money in those big trucks you all drive around."

"Hey, don't make fun of them, they are our bases. At least we don't have to keep moving around the furniture when your hideouts is about to be found. We never get found." Kumiko argued.

"Fine then, I agree with that point. But those things are humongous." Vegh returned.

Kumiko put both of her hands on her hips, leaning forward to smile at Vegh, "Well of course they are, they gotta hold our cars, and our comforts in there."

"Hello ladies!" A voice interrupted what could have been several hours of arguing.

"Oh hey, Klaus. How's my favorite bodybuilder?"

"Good, and you Kumiko? How's Brian and the rest of your gang?"

"Awesome, it's so cool being the top team after you guys in Owen's branch. You get to bully the minor teams to do what you want- that is: only of they really got their eyes on you."

Owen's branch meant the line of work they led, and the group they were divided in. Currently Owen's team was the top- they were his team after all, they had to be the highest! Brian's team held second, competing for the rank of first place. Owen had Vegh, Kalus, Jah, Adolfson, Denlinger, Oakes, and Ivory in his team.

Their team had her, co-leader and the designer of their car's designs. Jake as their mechanic and the one who hacked and gathered intel. Zane was their resident thief and gun-slinger. Marcus, Pam, and Samuel were the ones who drove their trucks. David, Lily and James were also part of their team and were either always looking for jobs or updating the team's cars. Then last but not least was their leader, Brian. Both he and herself shared their love of Skylines.

They all, however, shared one single skill and that was their kick-ass driving skills. It was what had taken them to the top after all.

"Where is Brian, by the way?" Another voice called.

It was Jah- another of Owen's team. A cold martial arts expert on the field but a gentle man outside of the missions. He held a soft spot for Kumiko and Lily.

"That jerk went racing. Took Owen with him."

Everyone smiled knowingly, "He beat you again, didn't he, Kumiko?" Vegh teased. Kumiko ignored her, opting to glare at her.

"What are we doing here in London anyways?"

Owen's team shared a glance, "Owen is stealing components to create a Nightshade device which can disable power in an entire region; he intends to sell it to the highest bidder."

"Oh." Kumiko said. Then she smiled, "This gonna be fun."

Everyone smiled.


"Thank you, God! Finally, some equipment I can use." Tej exclaimed, raising his arms towards the ceiling. "Much better than the crap in Rio."

"Much better." Giselle agreed, walking forwards beside Han who had a bag of chips in his hand and was munching steadily.

"Is there anyone who has heard from Leo or Santos?" Roman called, looking around with enthusiasm rivaling a child.

"They were last seen in the casinos of Monte Carlo." Han responded, putting an arm around Giselle's waist.

"I thought it was our last job." Giselle said, not really expecting anyone to hear her.

"Who pays for all the equipment?" Roman asked, gazing at all the new stuff they had been given.

Tej shrugged "Taxpayers?"

"So now we are working all the Hulk? Is that what we are doing?" Roman said after a few words with Tej. Nobody answered him. "Why do I smell baby oil?"

"If you continue to run that mouth of yours, you're gonna be smelling an ass-kicking." Hobbs answered as he entered the room that had been officially declared as their base of operations.

He had a woman by his side, she had red hair and was actually short. But then again- everyone was if you stood next to Hobbs. She looked amused, as if she had been watching the team for quite a while.

Moments later, after everyone had settled in the stark white room, and Dom, Mia and Letty had arrived, the briefing started.

"You got the best team in the world standing in front of you, Hobbs." Dom started, crossing his arms over his chest, "Give em' a reason to stay."

"Target: Owen Shaw, a convicted discharged spec-ops mercenary major of the Special Air Service. He led Britain's mobile device in Cabo and Bosnia."

Hobbs waited a while so the team could digest this information before continuing. "They have operated for years here in Europe, these recent jobs have graduated them to a whole new level."

Tej spoke next, "Then what's he after?"

"Shaw is stealing components to create a Nightshade device which can disable power in an entire region; he intends to sell it to the highest bidder."

"Ah-" Roman interrupted, "Anyone got a few coins."

Tej, Han, and Giselle rolled their eyes, Tej reaching not his pocket, "You're a millionaire and you're still asking for money."

"It's how you stay a millionaire." Roman grabbed the coins Tej was offering and headed towards the vending machine.

After a second, Hobbs spoke again. "This thing is worth millions. Imagine...you disable a solider for seconds...he dies. You disable a nation for 24 hours...the results are catastrophic."

"I think it's worth billions." Tej contributed.

Roman once again interrupted, "Hey man, which one of these is a dollar?"

Before anyone could answer, Hobbs took out his hand gun, aimed at the vending machine, and fired. The glass shattered and Roman covered his face until he was sure Hobbs wasn't going to fire again.

Amusement was shown in every face. "It's on the house." Hobbs announced.

Turning to the rest of the team, he announced, "Shaw is aiming to complete this device and I want to stop him before he gets em' all. So what do you think?"

"You show us the way to Brian, and we get full pardons all the way."

"I can't promise you that."

"Yes- you can, Hobbs. It's that or nothing,"

"And you get me Shaw."

Dom nodded, he knew everyone else in the team agreed too. Everyone here was family.

"So what's our plan?" Han asked, looking anxious to get going.


"Bri-Bri? What the hells are you doing? Where are you?" Kumiko screamed into her phone. Both Brian and Owen were late. And that was unacceptable.

"Oh hey, how's it going Kumiko?" Brian asked, his voice seemingly calm and collected.

"Brian, if you don't answer me this minute, I swear I will tear you apart when you come back." Kumiko raged, ignoring the chuckles coming from Owen and Brian's remaining team members.

"How can you? What if I don't come back?How will you tear me apart then?"

"I'll find you." She threatened. "Hehe, don't worry about that, I will find you."

"Hmm. Well never mind. We're just about to arrive. We go a surprise for y'all."

"What? What is it, Bri-Bri?"

She didn't get an answer because he hung up on her. "Oooh, that jerk!"

Before she could start a full-blown rant, the door to the base opened.

Everyone turned towards the two men that came. However their eyes met something else entirely.

"Oh my GOD!"
