"Letty! Mia! Guess who we brought?" Dom announced excitedly as he and Brian returned back to their hideout with Leon in tow.
"Leon?" Mia recognized him and smiled, running to hug him.
"Mia! Look at you! All these years haven't changed you at all," Leon complimented. "Hey, I heard about your and Buster's kid. I'm sorry".
"Thanks, Leon," Mia expressed her gratitude and then showed him a picture of herself, Brian, and Jack. "We're trying really hard to be strong about this and make sure we get him back".
"You're right, Dom. The kid sure does look a lot like Buster," Leon commented on Jack which got Dom, Brian, and Mia laughing. He then spots Letty and asked, "Hey, Letty. Remember me? Your old pal, Leon?"
"Not completely, but Dom has told me about our old team, so it is nice to get re-acquainted with you, Leon," Letty said smiling who also hugged Leon. Soon after, the other members of the Toretto team walked in.
"Yo, who's this guy?" Roman asked on behalf of the rest who don't know Leon.
"Rome, this is our old friend, Leon," Brian introduced Leon. "Leon, this is Roman, Tej, Sean, Hobbs, and Elena. They're extended members of the family".
"Nice to meet you all," Leon said as he shook everyone's hands.
"So, back to business," Sean then goes back into focus on how to rescue Jack. "So, how'd it go with that Perez guy?"
"Well for one thing, he had no freakin' idea where Verone and Braga are, but he did tip us that they're in a hideout where he had to have full view access of all of Tijuana," Brian explained.
"Well, that's going to take forever," Roman expressed his frustration.
"I know and we only have...39 hours and 5 minutes until...I can't even say it," Mia pointed out the complication and looks like she could go back to being in tears.
"I'm really sorry to hear about this," Leon expressed his condolences. "Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?"
"Wait a minute," Brian said after thinking about it, "Maybe there is something you could do. Leon, you said that you have been living here all these years after Jesse died, right?"
"Right," Leon answered.
"Well, if you live here, maybe there are areas that you know that could help us find them," Brian explained.
"Oh, yeah! That's a plan," Dom said as he smirked at his old friend.
"Okay, I will show you the areas where you can possibly see all of Tijuana," Leon agreed to the plan as he's happy to help out his old friends.
"That sounds like a plan. Now, I think we should hit the sack for a few hours," Elena suggested.
"Elena, my son is in danger! How could we sleep thinking about that?" Mia asked frantically.
"Babe, Elena's right. If we don't sleep, we'll eventually lose focus and that could affect with getting Jack back," Brian said trying to comfort his wife. Everyone said good-night to each other and manage to get comfortable enough to get some shut-eye. Even though Brian agreed with Elena that they need some sleep, he honestly didn't get much as he can't stop thinking about how Jack might be feeling right now: scared, helpless, sick, etc. And indeed he was right.
Back at Verone's and Braga's hideout, Jack is locked in another room still tied up but gag-free. He's been sobbing quietly for a few hours now as he terribly misses his family and is horrified at the thought of being fatally poisoned by a viper snake. He had missed his meals because he angrily claimed that he wasn't hungry when in reality, he was starving. When he hears Braga and Verone yelling at each other, he scooched over to press his ear on the door and listen to what they're saying.
"You screwed up, Verone!" Braga yelled.
"Will you calm down, Braga?" Verone said trying to control him.
"I can't! Your Perez friend has given them a tip on how to find us quicker and I heard they have an old friend who lives right around here, so apparently they could come and save the little bastard in no time!" Braga said out loud which gave Jack some hope.
"Not necessarily," Verone said as if he already came up with a back-up plan.
"What you talking about?" Braga asked as he feels that his associate has gone a little crazy.
"I have a yacht at a harbor on Playas de Tijuana," Verone started explaining. "We all move out tomorrow afternoon with the kid, get on that yacht, and sail away. That way, if they've already know about this place, we'll be long gone and they can't get to the kid in time. Once we're done with the kid, we throw his poisoned body on the water and when it's getting good, we'll all ambush, attack, and finally finish them off!" Verone finished which got Jack's mouth wide open.
"Sounds very complicated, but it's worth the risk," Braga surrendered and agreed to the back-up plan. "Now let's get some beauty sleep literally as I really don't look good without sleep," Braga admitted that trivial detail.
I gotta do something! Jack thought. He then looked around and saw that there's an old "Wanted" poster along with a pen on a table in the room. Remembering that his hands are tied up, he decides to try to write a message by writing with the pen in his mouth. He managed to get the pen from the table with his teeth and turn the poster around to the blank page, but what he really struggled with was writing the message. Make it short. He then sat where he held the poster still with his knees and started to write with his mouth. Even though it was kind of messy, Jack had managed to write: JACK - PLAYAS YACHT HELP! And to make sure Verone, Braga, and their team don't see it, he turned the poster back around and slided it away from him but not too far. The next day not too long after getting some sleep, Jack is once again dragged to join them on their way to Verone's yacht at the harbor that afternoon.
Meanwhile, the entire team with Leon (including Mia as she wants to rescue her son too) have spent almost the entire day looking at the places that according to Leon you could get a view of all of Tijuana. But sadly, none of those places seem big enough for a team of coordinated drivers to come up with their plans nor hold someone hostage, so they returned back to their base.
"Now what? We pretty much have seen everywhere," Roman expressed his fatigue and his concern of what could happen to Jack right about now.
"Wait! Maybe we're not thinking about Perez's tip the right way," Sean suggested the possibility.
After thinking about it for a minute, Brian said, "Sean, I think you may be onto something. Tej, can you play Verone and Braga's message again?" to which Tej immediately does. "Now, the background of this message must give us some clue to where they are," Brian explained further.
After watching the message over and over again, Letty then saw something that could probably help, "Wait! Can you pause it now?"
"What do you see, babe?" Dom asked his wife.
"Look at this poster in the back. It says "Se Busca" (Wanted) on it," Letty reported her observation.
"So?" Roman asked still not getting it.
"So, "Se Busca" means "Wanted" in Spanish. This is a "Wanted" poster," Elena said understanding her ex-boyfriend's wife's observation.
"Which typically police stations use," Hobbs finished and now everyone is starting to get it.
"So, they must be at an abandoned police station," Mia concluded.
"But, what did Perez meant by that they could get view access of all of Tijuana?" Sean asked as they maybe wasted all this time looking at these places.
"Tijuana has street cameras all around and they're usually monitored at police stations," Leon answered. "But I wouldn't know an abandoned police station since I'm usually trying to run away from them," he admitted while also trying to be funny.
"Hobbs, Elena, do you think you could find a record of an abandoned police station in the area?" Dom asked.
"No problem," Elena confirmed. After a while, Hobbs and Elena have finally found what they're looking for. "There's an abandoned police station around the area of Zona Rio. Apparently, the police wanted to move to a different location. Anyway, the station also has a garage roomy enough for their cars".
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Brian said and everyone was quick on their feet and on their way to that abandoned police station.
