Thank you for the reviews3 Much love.

BTW, I am sooooo sorry guys that it's been a while since I've last updated. I've just been doing a lot lately and I'm gonna try to update more often. At least once a week until this story is finished. Just hang in there.

Letty POV

After Dom and Natalia's talk outside, Dom fills me in really fast and gets the team working on their assignments.

Dom and Tej start to plan out surveillance and talk upgrades for our cars. Rome's already hitting up the snack machine and Adrien and Nat get to work modifying some of the cars on hand. I get caught up and just stand there and watch her, and I see her turn back into that 9 year old girl. she tied her hair up in a high pony tail just like she use to before working on a car, a big smile on her face, to bad she hasn't gotten any better at doing her hair since then, but it was still nice to see a side of her that I had missed through the years.

"Letty are you coming? We're gonna go to the weapons chamber and see what they've got for us." Dom asks breaking my reverie.

"Yea, I'm coming."

"Wait for us." Nat says putting down her tool and grabbing Adrien's arm. Rome following behind, a bag of chips in hand.

We then walked into a large room with what seems like hundreds of weapons on the walls.

"Sweet" Nat says breathless beside me.

Everyone, but Tej who looks like a kid in a candy shop, turn to look at Nat as she picks up a rifle. Adrien doesn't look surprised as he goes to grab a gun off the wall.

"For real!" Tej adds oblivious to his surroundings.

"Put that down before you hurt yourself baby girl" Roman jokes grabbing the rifle.

"Hurt myself? Please I can handle this baby better than you playboy."

"The disres…is she challenging me? I know she's not challenging me." he asks arms out looking around the room.

"Well I mean if you're too scared I totally understand you really should save yourself the embarrassment." She smiles and cocks an eyebrow challengingly.

"No, let's do this." He says seriously in a macho tone of voice. Dom rolls his eyes and quickly becomes annoyed with the escalation of a simple trip to the weapons chamber

We watched as Natalia and Roman pick out a gun and head to the target room.

Dom turns to Adrien "So, what do you think?"

He just shakes his head chuckling to himself. We all turn to watch through the glass.

"You ready old man?" she asks while smirking.

"Old man? Ohh it's on. I'm gonna show you an old man." Rome cocks his gun.

I give the count down and they both start shooting and reloading and shooting some more. When they eventually run out of bullets it was clear that Natalia was the winner but because he's Roman Pierce and can't let anything go…

"Well anyone can hit a target that's not moving."

"You couldn't." she defends.

"That doesn't count. You're related to Letty, girl has mad focus." Natty comes over and high fives me and intertwines our hands for a second longer, before releasing and putting her hand on her hips. "I'm not convinced she can handle herself in a more realistic situation." he says looking at her brow furrowed

"Cause I can't?" I ask sarcastically. He must have noticed his slip up, when he throws his hands in the air and shakes his head vigorously.

"You need her to whoop your ass again?" Tej asks shaking his head at his friend.

"So? What do you suggest?" Natalia asks.

Roman smiled. The next hour consisted of Tej and him arguing while setting up some paintball guns. Nat looked pissed which seemed to please him.

They've just finished making the small arena and Natalia walks over picks up a paintball gun and tosses to me. "I get my sister." I smile.

Roman stomps over towards me and takes the gun from my grip "Nope. Sorry mami. No teams."

Dom wasn't happy about us wasting time but watching them run around and hide, was a lot of fun. I mean, coming from a person who's been on the run for the past decade, you don't really get to enjoy simple things like this.

The timer went off, meaning that the match was over. We walked over to the doors where Nat walked out first she had been it in the left side of her leg and her left shoulder.

"Ooow tough break kid." Dom says.

Then roman came out

"Damn" we say in unison. Roman had been hit in his chest twice and once in the helmet

"What?" then he turned to look at his opponent. "Ha-ha, I knew I got you."

"Nahh man, she got you. Have you seen yourself?" Tej says disappointed.

"What? Huh? What do you mean seen myself?" He walks over to a large widow seeing his reflection "Aww. Damn it, man."

We all laugh together. He walks over and throws an arm over Nat's shoulder. "I guess she's alright."

"You aint to bad yourself, Papi." she retorted rubbing his bald head and giving him a wink.


Hobbs POV

It's great that everyone is getting along. I couldn't imagine that this group of induvial wouldn't, but you never know.

Dom never ceases to amaze me when it comes to putting a team together. Believe me some of the different personalities may make it difficult to work with sometimes. But we're family and it feels nice to finally have something like that. A few years ago I never could've imagined I would even shake hands with a criminal let alone work alongside one, but Dom proved his character to me a long time ago back in Rio, and I haven't questioned it since.

"Great now that we've had play time, can you get back to business?" all eyes are on me as they nod and take their positions around the base. I inform them that we have moved Brian and Mia to a secure location and that they should stay at the base until we can get an exact location of the Shaws. Which meant no more horsing around.

"Hey Adrien, can I talk to you for a sec?" Letty immediately snaps her head up from under the hood of her car to look at me.

I see Nat roll out from under her car raising an eyebrow "Sure?" he answers suspiciously.

We head out to the alley behind the base's garage.

"So, what's on your mind?" he asks wiping her greasy hands on an old rag.

"What do you know about Sylvia Shaw?" I really need to know what we're going to be up against, and seeing as him and Nat are the only ones who seem to know who the hell she is, I might as well get all the information I can.

"Ahh, well, she's supposedly a great dance instructor. For a front she runs a pretty prestigious dance academy out there."

"You ever been there?"

"Do I look like I've taken ballet?" smart ass.

"Have you seen her in person? Do you know where she lives?"

He crosses his arms and begins to laugh. "Isn't it your job to know stuff like this?"

"Yea, but we can't seem to find a home address." I toss him the files I had carried out with me.

He examines them "First, it's nearly impossible to get passed her security. Especially with the amount of cops on her payroll. I've only seen her down at the races and as far as an address goes, she stays at the school. The whole left wing is devoted to housing and the entire 16 floor is her residence."

"So you've never met her?" I ask hopeful that he has.

Taking a deep breath "Not exactly. She tends to go the races every once in a while. She never did before a couple years ago, that wasn't her scene. But then one day she showed up and started scouting drivers and taking them in."

"What was she into before?"

He shrugs his shoulders, expecting me to have all the answers. "Organized crime. She doesn't do anything sloppy and she wants her money to stay flowing in."

"Why go to the races?" This is the part I'm a little fuzzy on.

"We all just assumed to expand. But I really have no idea. I never saw any of the drivers again, after they left with her guards."

"You get asked?"

"No… we tried to stay under her radar. If she was there we didn't race. Not that she hadn't heard of us. There was word she wanted to ask, but she wanted to see us in action for herself. But we did go to London, to see what all the hype was about, word on the streets was that's where she was sending all her drivers."

"Yea…what did you find?"

"Pretty much what you seen Letty up to, simple jobs and not so simple jobs."

"You ever run into letty?"

"No." he looks away and answers to quick. I could tell he's lying but don't press the issue.

"So what do you think we're up against?"

"It's hard to say she's into a little of everything, if you want to know what she has planned try her students then check her office."

"Her office sounds a little casual, don't you think?"

"Its three stories below ground and it's where she handles all of her business. I told you she's organized, keeps everything on her computer and hard copies in file cabinets."

"Tej can just hack in." We have the best resources surely he can figure something out.

"No, can do. People have tried. Some of the best hackers in all of New York trying to get their hands on some cash and each one locked out."

"How do you know all this?" I don't mean to sound suspicious but he catches on.

He shakes my shoulder "Relax, Hobbs. I know people"

"Thought you said you never seen the drivers afterward."

"I don't only know drivers. I do know some normal law abiding citizens, not much but a couple. Some of them her students."

"Alright, so what? We have to figure out a way to get into the school, then down three stories to an office you've never seen to hopefully find out what she's planning?" This is stressing me out I work for the best damn national security agency and I have jackshit to go on.

"Oh you'll find something and whatever it is, it's going to be big. That mess at the hospital isn't her style. So you guys must have really pissed her off. There's a showcase coming up and in the middle there's a dance competition she holds to look for potential students, we sign up Elena and Roman to gain access on the guest list, she'll be too busy to even notice you guys are there."

"Elena and Roman?" I don't like that idea.

"Or Nat and Rome" I challenge.

"Good luck" he chuckles.

Shaking it off I ask, "Is it worth it? How dangerous is she?"

"Sylvia Shaw? Oh it'll be worth it"

I'm not sure what or if we'll find anything in New York, but right now it's our best bet to get ahead of what's coming. The prison has informed us they have Deckard Shaw locked down but I have no idea how long that'll last.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate it. Let me know what you thought about this chapter and what you want to read next. I think the next chapter is gonna have a real heart to heart between Natalia and Letty. I just feel like it's long overdue.
