After Letty left that night, all Alyssa could do was cry and think about them. She kept to herself in her room but Mia would watch from the doorway. It was how Letty had dealt with her emotions; keep them bottled up in one place and not let the whole world make a big deal about it.
When morning came, Alyssa stayed in her bed and didn't interact with her brother or her cousins. She just held onto her large teddy bear and held its hand like it was a real person. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks and soaking the teddy's fur. Suddenly there was a knock at her door and she looked up to see Mia.
"Your mom is on the phone." Mia said.
"I don't want to talk to her." Alyssa said quietly.
"You sure?" Mia asked.
"Yeah." Alyssa said turning over.
Slowly Mia pulled the door behind her and held up the phone to her ear.
"Sorry about that." Mia said.
"It's understandable. Hopefully it won't stand forever." Letty said.
"It won't." Mia said. "How are you guys?"
"We're good. We're nearly there and the team are all gathered together.'' Letty said.
"Stay safe Letty and keep Dom out of trouble." Mia said.
"Bye Mia." Letty said.
Both lines declined and they placed their phones in their pockets. Letty walked to Dom who was looking out of the window. She sat by him and leaned up against his arm.
"She's not talking to me." Letty began.
"Don't worry about it too much." Dom said pulling her closer. "We'll be back soon and everybody will be talking again."
"I hope so." Letty muttered.
After a while of laying in bed, Alyssa came down to the kitchen and sat by her brother. Mia fixed her up a plate of food and sat down opposite her. Brian looked up from his plate and saw that Alyssa wasn't looking as she normally did.
"Why are you sad?" Brian asked.
"Because mommy and daddy left us." Alyssa hissed.
"Where did they go?" Brian said confused.
"I don't know and I don't care." Alyssa growled.
"Alyssa, go to your room." Mia demanded.
She pulled away from the table and rushed back to her room. Meanwhile up in the sky both Dom and Letty were nearly in Russia. When they landed, Letty tried to call Mia but she wouldn't answer, so she carried on with Dom. They got to the base and found everyone working. Hobbs was researching some private files with Dec, Roman was messing around with his car, Tej and Ramsey were trying to hack into the main frame so they could figure out where the terrorists were planning to meet. Finally they got the location and gave it to Dom and Letty.
"What now?" Letty said turning to Dom.
"We dress up for the occasion." Dom smirked.
"How do we do that?" Roman asked.
"Follow me guys." Nobody said appearing from the door.
They all followed Nobody to an allocated room which was full of costumes and material. Each one of them had to change up their image completely so that the terrorists wouldn't have any dirt on them. When they were done, each one stood in a line and Nobody smiled at his work.
"Introduce yourselves please." Nobody said.
"Ezra King." Roman said stepping forward.
"Stefan Daniels." Tej said.
"Kylie Tailor." Ramsey said.
"Connor Olivers." Dec said.
"Jesse Farley." Hobbs said.
"Iceland Lara." Letty said.
"Shawn Keys." Dom said.
Nobody handed everyone their personal profiles and they read through them. Once they were ready, they headed to the garage where they picked out their cars. As usual Roman went for the bad ass, new model type of car, Hobbs went for a heavily armoured one with Tej and Ramsey at the back, Dom went into his black charger and Letty stayed with him. Dec took his jet black Chevrolet and they all lined up. Each one of them checked their gear to see if it was working, then went through the plan.
"They meet up near the volcano Mutnovsky. It's a cave that is near the volcano." Ramsey explained.
"I have a question." Roman said.
"No surprise there." Tej muttered.
"What is it?" Ramsey said.
"How the hell are we going to get into the cave?" Roman asked.
"Nobody?" Dom called.
"We'll be controlling that Roman. There's no need to worry about it." Nobody answered.
"When you say that, it just makes me worry more!" Roman yelled.
They all laughed to themselves and got ready to go. Before they left, Letty looked at her phone and thought about calling Mia but there was no point because Alyssa wasn't going to answer her. Dom looked over at Letty and signalled her from his car. She looked up from her phone and gave him a side smile. Nobody tapped the mic and called out to the team.
"You know the plan, you're ready, get out of here and save our asses." Nobody demanded.
Quickly they all sped out of the garage and headed towards the volcano. As the team approached the volcano, Tej and Ramsey started to use God's eye to find out whether the terrorists were meeting up yet. The terrorists were there and they were ready.
"They're there." Tej said.
Mia had finished up cleaning the kitchen and let the kids play outside in the garden. Slowly she walked into Alyssa's room but couldn't see where she was. A little panicked she started searching the room for her and found her underneath the bed.
"Can I come through?" Mia asked.
Alyssa nodded and she rolled underneath the bed. Mia looked at her and saw that her eyes were still full of tears.
"You want to go somewhere with me?" Mia offered.
"Where?" Alyssa asked.
"Anywhere." Mia answered.
"Ok." Alyssa said.
They both rolled out from underneath the bed and went to the car outside. Mia went to the neighbour's house and asked if she could babysit the kids. When she was ready, she got into the car and they started driving out. They passed by the mall and the convenience stores, then they found themselves in the middle of the desert. Both walked out to the singular tree and sat against it.
"I used to come here everyday." Mia said.
"Why?" Alyssa enquired.
"It was a place where I could say anything that was in my mind and just be free from stress." Mia explained.
"When I felt like that, my old daddy would bring me outside and we would talk to my mom." Alyssa said looking up at the sky.
As she thought of her father, tears came to her eyes and started dripping from the tip of her eyes. Mia shuffled over and wrapped her arm around Alyssa.
"You don't have to cry about your old daddy because you have a new daddy who's alive and well." Mia said rubbing her back.
"What if he dies too?" Alyssa questioned.
"He won't baby. He always finds a way out." Mia said looking back at the sky.
"I hope so." Alyssa whispered.
Back in the volcanoes of Russia, the team were getting ready to enter the cave. Hobbs was up front, Letty and Dom trailing behind, Dec at the bottom of the line.
"Alright Nobody, we're getting close to the cave." Dec said.
"Press the button." Nobody instructed.
"Button?" Roman screamed.
Before he could ask any further questions, each of the cars started to lower down. They all passed through the cave and zoomed through the tunnels to find the rest of them. All of the terrorists were gathered around one car and waiting for the new people to come. When they got out of the car, they were all greeted by them and led to the car.
"Please introduce yourselves." The leader said.
Every single person introduced themselves to the rest of the Russian terrorists. After the terrorists introduced themselves to the team and once everyone knew each other they began to go through the plan. Their soul purpose from this was to bomb the streets of Russia and send out a warning to the president. Whilst they talked, Roman wandered away from the crowd and looked out to the hole. One Russian looked up and yelled at him but because of the language barrier he continued staring. He crouched down and felt the ground beneath him. It was trembling like he used to whenever he had do a crazy stunt.
"Guys, is this volcano...imminent?" Roman said shakily.
"I don't think so." Ramsey said.
"Why is the ground shaking?" Roman asked.
As soon as Roman said that, sirens could be heard in the distance. Quickly everyone got into their cars and raced off into the tunnels. The sound of the sirens were getting more louder and closer to all of their cars.
"Nobody, we need some help!" Letty screaming into the device.
"Under the glove box there's a button. Press it and the cops will feel a little slippery." Nobody instructed.
She did as she was told and immediately medium sized metal balls flew out of a pipe. The cops' car slid out of control and crashed into the rock. Instantly after the car crashed through another started to come towards them. He crashed into the back of the car and his partner began shooting at them.
"You got another one of those tricks?" Letty asked.
"At the side of your seat there's a keypad. Press in 1010 and let the magic happen." Nobody instructed.
Quickly Letty pressed in the combination and waited for the thing to attack the police car. A grapple hook shot out of the bumper and hooked into the car's engine. The hook pulled out the engine and the cops were left sitting in the car which didn't move. Now that the cops were stuck, Dom and Letty started going for the exit. Once they made it out, they saw that there was a clear road in front of them. In the corner of her eye Letty saw something white emerging from the hole and it wasn't a police car.
"Dom, what is that?" Letty questioned.
"I can't tell." Dom said squinting his eyes.
As the thing approached them, Letty saw that there was a red strip behind the white point. Finally Letty understood what it was.
"Dom, that's a missile!" Letty shouted.
Immediately Dom stepped on the brakes and looked up at the missile. Surprisingly it didn't hit them, it hit the road in front of them which made it crumble down into the ground. Rapidly the ground beneath them started to disappear and there was no way out. They looked at each other and nodded. Dom reversed and locked his foot against the brake once more. He took a deep breath and the car zoomed forwards into the massive gorge beneath them. Dom grabbed Letty and jumped out of the car. As soon as they jumped, the car crashed into the rock and exploded. A helicopter came flying and started taping the crash and the debris that was left over. Dom and Letty were nowhere to be seen; it was like they had vanished into thin air.
Mia and Alyssa had stopped for gas, then went into the little store. Whilst looking at the sweets, Alyssa noticed the TV in the corner of her eye. There was a news report about events in Russia.
"Aunt Mia, isn't that where mommy and daddy are?" Alyssa asked.
"Yeah that is where they are." Mia answered.
"Is there something wrong?" Alyssa said looking up at her.
"Come here baby." Mia said picking her up.
They watched the broadcast and saw that the helicopter was flying above a wrecked car. Suddenly Letty and Dom's pictures turned up on the screen and that's when they announced it.
"Mrs Letty Toretto and Mr Dominic Toretto are pronounced as dead." The reporter said. "They have presumably died from the missile that was fired earlier on from Russian terrorists."
"Mommy?" Alyssa said looking up.
"...I'm sorry baby." Mia said tearing up.
"You said that he always finds a way out." Alyssa said.
"I was wrong." Mia said wiping her tears away.
The next day Mia brought the four kids to the graveyard to go say goodbye to their parents. In the ground their headstones laid. Leticia Ortiz Toretto and Dominic Toretto written in gold, then mounted on a black marble headstone. Brian sat on his father's grave and ran his fingers through the engraved name. Alyssa held onto Mia's legs and looked at her mother's grave. Mia rubbed her back and looked at both the graves. Never did she ever think that Dom would die this way; in a petty car crash that he could've easily escaped. Letty could've escaped too knowing that she had jumped over a highway before. It just confused her how these two people had died in such an easy way. After a little while, Mia turned to Alyssa and handed her the rose. She planted the rose in the soil and took off her necklace.
"Mommy, please say something because I'm really giving up on you." Alyssa whispered.
She placed it in the ground and followed her brother and her aunt to the car. They drove back to the home and folded away their dark clothes. Alyssa started packing her stuff away into a small case, then placed it in the closet. Later on she fell asleep in the closet with the case in her arms. Mia came into the room and found her feet sticking out of there. She picked her up and loosened her grip from the suitcase. It fell onto the floor and she kicked it in deeper. Carefully she placed Alyssa onto the bed and covered her up with the blanket. When Mia turned the lights out, Alyssa switched on her fairy lights and went to the window. Alyssa looked up at the sky and saw two bright shining stars glimmering in the sky.
"You don't have to say something anymore mommy." Alyssa said looking up at the sky. "I already know you're up there with daddy."
