The gasoline.
That was their mission, her first mission with her brother, they had to steal that truck loaded with gasoline for some guy called: Elvis.
— Lena, ready. — The girl nodded, stopping stroking the hair of the charismatic asian she had met a couple of days ago and with whom she had connected in a way, quite peculiar, however, she did not complain, he was a rather charming man.
Leaving a kiss on his lips, making him smile after their lips parted, watching as the girl put the backpack over her shoulder before leaving the passenger seat to crawl to the back, Lena felt a touch on her leg smiling to know whose big hand it was. — Be careful. — Han said, making the girl nod without saying a word, finishing passing her body to the rear, finally going outside, where was the hook that would connect the car with the large gasoline pipe.
When the hook successfully connected, at the first attempt, Lena prepared to jump to the truck, she had to make a part of the pipe remain in Han’s hands, and so she will, jumping, managing to take the small stairs that the truck had on the side, taking herself hard not to fall, she confirmed where she was.
—I think we should rob banks, not a gas truck in the middle of nowhere. — Han’s voice was heard, calm as always, more because he can see the back of the girl already well secured in the truck.
— You’re in the Dominican Republic, here gasoline is gold, honey. — Letty spoke, laughing as she shook her head at the Asian’s request.
— Yes, but the damn banks don’t move, you know? — Leo talked, and Lena laughed, remembering why he had ended up in prison. —Bro, tell them how you ended up in prison. — Santos’ laugh was heard through her earpiece, making Han laugh too, he had heard that story from Lena’s lips when they were both drunk enough to speak seriously.
—Less talk, more action, let’s do this quickly, the cliff is four kilometers away. — Lena nodded to that, starting to climb the stairs so she could be, stable, on the roof of the truck, giving a signal that she was ready to start walking towards the middle of the truck, tired of so many stairs, she decided to jump, which she was sure the driver felt that. That thought made her act fast, taking the nozzle of the nitrogen she was carrying in the backpack, freezing the part where part of the pipe was connected to the other tanks that the truck carried, once done, she took the hammer that the Latin duo had given her to speed up the work.
Hitting the frozen part of the metal, the first part of the truck came loose, leaving a portion of the profit in Han’s hands. —Get this out of here, love. — She said, seeing how the Asian’s orange car stopped, which meant that he already had his part safe, putting the hammer in the backpack again, she prepared to climb the steps of the tank that was going to be her second objective. —Okay, second charge.
Lena asked, hearing Dom call Santos and Leo into action as she finished climbing onto the roof. — Try not to take six tries at this, Leo. — Han’s voice made everyone smile, mocking the brunette, who replied offended.
Lena decided to ignore them, moving quickly but safely on the roof of the truck, she could feel how the truck accelerated a little more but managed to keep her balance, although only was a few seconds because a sudden brake made her trip and swing backwards, leaving the roof of the vehicle, Luckily, the rope of her backpack got stuck on a step of the stairs, which made her hold on that, trying not to put more weight in the backpack and thus not fall completely out in the pavement. — Damn it! — The girl complained when she felt how her elbows hurt from the impact of these with the iron of the truck and because, literally, she was running behind the truck, her feet could easily touch the road.
— Lena? Are you okay? — The girl could not answer Han, making him frown, he was already somewhat far from what was happening, however, he had heard the curses of the girl, which made him think that something had happened, not being calm, he decided to turn around, taking the gasoline with him, moving quickly to reach the scene.
—Leo unhook it! — Lena could hear sounds of gunshots and feel how the truck braked momentarily, as if it had hit something before continuing on its way, this made her feel a little dizzy, making it difficult for her to keep her feet on the pavement to avoid falling on the road. The girl managed to see Dom’s car, but did not take much care, taking some time, she managed to raise her feet to the hook of the containers, leaning with some force forward, she managed to untie the backpack, she did not take a second to breathe, getting up again to see the hook with doubt, there were three more wagons to where she was. —Put the nitrogen!
—My hammer flew away! — The girl said forcefully, looking at Dom with some concern.
—Just do it! — The girl growled, taking the nitrogen nozzle, shooting it on the hook while holding tightly from the stairs, her body swayed again when the truck began to move in zigzag, she could not control gravity, so she was easily moved at the same pace as the truck.
—Hold on to something strong!— Lena listened, moving, she held on to the railings of the stairs, leaving free the hook that connected the wagons of the truck. Once these were released, thanks to the hit of Dom’s car, Lena went down a bit, getting into position when she saw Dom move the car next to her.
He wanted her to jump.
And the girl was going to do it if not because the truck braked, moving Dom away from her, Lena was trying not to slip from the gasoline that was shooting out of the truck because a part of the broken hook had flown out, at the time Dom had hit the iron, hitting and creating a break in the aluminum.
Lena saw how the car moved a little, returning to her, she did not think much about it and jumped, falling on the roof of the car, stopping mostly with her knees and shoes because her left arm was full of gasoline, although Letty in the car helped hold her a little before the fluid made her grip slide, Lena managed to hold on to the windows of the car, however, the hit of the truck, now without a driver, caused her hand to slip and she had to practically hang on the side of the car.
Suddenly, the missing tank unlocked from the truck, thus causing it to lose control and end up overturned at the end of the cliff while the unlocked tank exploded from the impact and began to roll towards the car, in that small moment where the car stopped, Lena managed to get back into the roof of the car, feeling the pain of her body from so much blows on her body, she heard Dom’s voice. — Ready to jump, Lena! — The girl was surprised, seeing the tank roll towards them, she swallowed and stood up, with some difficulty, at the end of the car.
— Dom.
Letty’s voice was heard, she was in the car with the eldest, taking his arm so he wouldn’t do stupid things.
Han, who was, next to Leo and Santos standing a few meters from the scene, looked somewhat anxious and with some fright, if he was honest, it was not possible that she would jump so high that the tank would not drag her with it.
— At the count of three you start running.
— Dom.
—Got it.
— Lena. — Han’s voice was heard this time, it was heard like he was scolding her but with that delicate and calm tone of always. Although he was scolding her. She didn’t have to do that, although he had no other idea in his head at the time, he could only think that the brunette was going to die there if she do that.
—One.
—Dom, stop.
— Two.
—It’s dangerous, rea-
—Three! — Dom’s scream interrupted Letty and gave the signal to Lena as the car moved forward just as the girl took her first fast step, she seemed to be running on a treadmill, when she felt Dom bend the tires of the car, she took impulse and jumped as high as her knees allowed, trying not to move her arms to prevent the fire from touching her arm with gasoline, bending her knees once she managed to get through the small flameless space of the rolling tank.
Her feet hit the roof of the car, hard, her knees gave way once the impact of the fall was felt on them, Lena’s body rolled a little to the front of the car when it stopped, falling to the ground with a dry blow, but nothing more dangerous than what she had just done.
Two gently arms took her, helping her sit up correctly, seeing the girl’s tight pants torn and how her skin was somewhat red due to all the heat that had given her the adrenaline of the moment — Shit, you could have died. — Han complained, running his arms around her ribs so he could pick her up and start walking with her to the car.
— I’m Lena Toretto, love, death fears me.
…
— Listen, it’s not possible that every time we see you, you are eating each other’s mouth.
Lena rolled her eyes, settling into the lap of Han, who pressed his hand around her waist as he took a swig of his beer before his face hid in the girl’s neck. —Enjoy it. — Dom said, arriving with wads of bills for each, giving Lena two.
— Hey! Why do she always get paid more?
—Excuse me, but you didn’t jump on a burning gasoline tank, just get out of here.— Lena complained, causing the pair to start walking away while complaining about their pay, the girl sighed, coming down from Han’s lap once she saw them leave, seeing Dom with some seriousness, he knew that something had happened that worried them.
— The police came to our garage. — Han started, making Dom complain about it. —They seem to be very interested in you, they have us in their sights and I’m sure the pipe thing will lead them to us..
— I think we’d better leave early.— Lena finished, hugging Han’s side, who stroked her back with his free hand.
—No, it’s me they want, and if they catch me, they’re going to take everyone who’s with me. — The older one looked at them, they both looked so comfortable with each other, he had been watching them that last month, Han even laughed, in an unusual way, with the girl and she had become more talkative after the arrival of the Asian. —Han, it was a pleasure, it’s time for you to do your own thing… And make a life. — Dom said, looking sideways at the girl, who noticed that and only shook with a smile before leaving a kiss on Han’s cheek, shaking her wad of bills in Dom’s face and starting to walk, walking away from them to go with the two Latinos who offered her drinks once they saw her arrive.
Han was silent for a second before seeing Lena, who was drinking from her beer while laughing at something with Santos, he knew he had to go back if he didn’t want to be caught, and although he was no longer sure he wanted Tokyo as his destination, he knew that Lena had no Tokyo planned at all, nor to him. — Are doing fun things in Tokyo.
Dom smiled, seeing how the sad smile of his appeared on his face, sighing, the eldest leaned in the car, seeing Lena in the distance. — I’m not going to tell you she’s going to agree to leave with you. — This one started, he knew his sister like the back of his hand, there was no way the girl was going to leave her freedom to settle down with a man she knew a short time ago. — You are an amazing man Han, that month with Lena you showed me that you are not the womanizer I met in Mexico, but Lena is not the type of person who is going to settle down so easily… She’s still young and believe it or not, she’s beginning to have freedom, she did not have much of that for a long time and… I’m not sure she wants to leave ir right now.
— That’s what I thought… I wasn’t going to ask her to leave with me or anything like that, although settling down isn’t in my plans yet.
— Not now… Perhaps, when you feel ready, she will be too, just live a little longer.
Han looked at the girl, he had met her a month ago, it was a very short time, but there was something in her company that made him feel so calm, he felt like he was living his teenage years again, and for be twenty-one years old, he felt like a forty-year-old gentleman, except when he was with Lena, That tingling sensation in his stomach was suddenly present when she appeared, sometimes he did not know what to answer when she asked something and he always felt trembling when he was next to her, as if he was about to do a foolish thing that would ruin everything.
Like a teenager.
But Han didn’t want to feel like a teenager, not anymore, he wanted peace, although that touch of adrenaline had always been an incredible feeling, he wanted to be able to be at peace with someone, not settle down yet, he didn’t feel ready for that, just see how things flow, start from scratch somewhere away from all that whirlpool of problems.
But maybe Lena didn’t want the same thing and he wasn’t going to force her, or make her feel obligated, to accept something she didn’t want.
That was why he simply kept silent, and both took opposite directions, hoping to find themselves again in better situations or not, but to meet again.
