Owen Shaw had his guests in a hotel room in the outer city limits of Berlin where a small convoy taking supplies to an army base and they were going to steal it for their operation. Letty and Leon both knew that it wasn't right but if Owen was willing to pay them then they'd work for him until they had a little bit of money saved up before they found a better place to hide. Letty was trying to figure out how to get in contact with Mia since Dom might've called her but Owen seemed to get rooms with no communication devices anywhere near them. Before they left Mexico both Leon and Letty watched as Owen crushed their phones but at the time anger was fuelling their decisions and the thoughts of being forgotten was good enough to not worry about phones.
Letty though was cooling off and in her mind she knew that she should've been more patient knowing that when Dom could he'd have tried to call them, he had probably already tried and couldn't get through with their phones destroyed. She would just play to what Owen wanted for the moment and then try and find a phone and call Mia to check in. Owen was currently explaining to them about what they would be stealing from the convoy and Letty nodded her head letting Owen know that her and Leon could pull the job off.
Owen set the time and told them they'd have cars when it was time for the job but not to get any fancy ideas that he'd be able to find them no matter where they went. The threat for the moment was enough to subdue the two but he had a long list that he could pick and choose from if they decided to be defiant. Letty was biding her time but she could feel Leon's anger still radiating off of him in waves. She was going to have to talk to Leon when Owen left them alone for the night.
DSS Agent Luke Hobbs, stormed into the FBI building in downtown LA and went up to Penning's office. He had just gotten off a long flight from Washington D.C. but Agent Penning wouldn't tell him any information over the phone. He had to come in person if he wanted to hear about his mission. Penning knew he was the man for the job as no one could cover every track they made. The LAPD failed and most of the FBI couldn't even scent out Brian O' Conner's cologne of choice. Hobbs was the man to find Brian - not to arrest him but to make sure he was doing alright and to call him. Penning didn't want to see Owen Shaw get his claws back into Brian although Brian would fight like hell against him; Penning had no doubts about that.
Hobbs gave a perfunctory knock and pushed open the door to see Penning looking over a map of the world. "Agent Hobbs glad you could make it." Penning said as he looked up from the map. "I'm sorry I couldn't give you any information over the phone. Everything is of utmost secrecy right now."
Hobbs was even more intrigued about what Penning needed from him keeping up the secrecy pretext. He went into the office and closed the door and Penning motioned at the chair across from his desk. Luke sat down and asked, "What do you need me to do Agent Penning?"
"I need you to find Agent Brian O' Conner and I need this to stay very quiet. We have leaks in places where there shouldn't be and it could put O' Conner in more danger than he already is right now."
"What kind of mission do you have him on?" Luke asked curious as to the imminent danger that Brian O' Conner could be in.
"He's not on a mission per se. He was working undercover as an LAPD officer and they sent him under as a street racer to find some people hijacking the semis but circumstances changed and he took the lead suspect with him on the run and the rest of the team is in tatters. Two are MIA while two are seriously injured and the suspect's sister is taking care of them. I'm worried about the two that are MIA and need to find O' Conner and Toretto quickly before someone ends up killing him or both of them."
"Who's after O' Conner?" Luke asked looking at the worried expression on Penning's face.
"Criminal mastermind Owen Shaw." Penning said while finding his file.
"Owen Shaw?" Luke laughed. He thought, "What the hell had O' Conner gotten himself into with this psychopath?"
"Find this amusing do you Hobbs?" Penning asked with a raised brow.
"The craziness of the situation, yes. What does Owen Shaw have to do with O' Conner?" Hobbs asked as he sobered up his laughing.
"Top secret information Hobbs. Before Brian joined the academy after high school he was in some sort of relationship with Owen Shaw. I only found out because he was having a nightmare a few years ago."
"Shit Penning. The guy's a goner. Owen doesn't mess around when he wants to find people himself."
"Yes I know." Penning growled. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Which is why I called you. If you need to talk to anyone in the Bureau come through me, like I said we have leaks and I don't want this anymore fucked up than it already is."
Hobbs raised his hands in surrender. "I'll call you first. Has anything been put out on these two?"
"Yeah against my warnings to keep quiet Bilkins put out APBs at the Mexican and Canadian borders for Brian and Dom."
"And this is the person you worry about?"
"One of them." Penning retorted thinking of a few other agents chafed by Brian's success rate.
"Alright I'll keep things quiet and if I need any help I'll call you. Do you possibly know where O' Conner would go since he's disappearing?"
"No but you might want to try Europe. I don't know where he'd go but he seems like he'd know how to get there. He's not a great UC agent for nothing." Penning said as he handed Hobbs O' Conner and Shaw's files.
Hobbs opened Brian's file and saw pictures of the agent. He gaped at the Southern California surfer smiling up from his picture wearing a white tee and baggy jeans next to a green Eclipse. He flipped through the pages and saw pictures of Dominic Toretto and his team. All of them, so different from the other, but fitting together in their mixed up little family kind of way and Hobbs could see why Brian possibly flipped. The only way to know for sure was to find him and ask him.
