— No, wait, Reyes’ people were waiting for me in the market, Vince saved my life.
Lena’s eyes went up when she heard her sister’s voice, Han and she were finishing fixing some things that Dom had asked them to do. —Are you hungry? — Dom’s voice was heard, Han looked at him for a second before going back to his duties, not giving much importance to the matter before seeing how Lena suddenly got up, he frowned as he saw her run towards the man, unknown to him.
His eyes rested carefully on how the girl smiled and the man’s eyes shone when he saw the younger, he looked at them for a second before seeing Dom, waiting for an answer about who he was or what relationship he had with the girl.
But he did not receive anything from him, but from Lena herself.
—Vince!— The girl opened her arms, the man looked at her strangely before his eyes widened in surprise.
He had last seen Lena when she was twelve years old, the youngest of the Torettos had suddenly grown up, all he could do was take her in his arms to see Mia with surprise as she hugged the girl lovingly while caressing her hair. — Lena?
— The same one that stole your car at twelve, yes. — She laughed, the man accompanied her before she gave a little jump. — Are you hungry? We’re going to eat, and since you’re here last, you’re going to say the blessings.
A few minutes later, everyone was seated around a table, beers in front of them, a few drinks, while they had left the two Latinos cooking the meat.
Lena was having her drink after having made the little toast, Tej and Han were at her sides, the Asian with his arm around her shoulders, his body felt tense, Lena noticed it, and it had been like that since Vince had appeared. — Very soon you will have a little more than ten million in your hands, who do you plan to do with that? — Roman asked, looking at Tech, who was relaxed in the chair.
— I plan to open a workshop, where people can take their cars and be completely scammed. — Lena laughed after taking a sip of her drink.
— You are a true businessman. – Tej smiled, winking at the girl before looking at Roman, who responded indignantly at his statement.
– Oh really? Is your dream in life… To have a job?
— Yes. — Tej answer innocently.
— How stupid, why would you want that? – Lena denied, watching as Santos approached with the meat, leaving it on the table.
— I already know what I’m going to do with my part… — The look of this step to the plate full of meat. — I’ll pay my friend some cooking classes.
– You see? Again with that negativity, you know me, money doesn’t matter to me. —Leo defended himself.
— It will take more than money for him to learn how to cook. — Roman said, seeing how dark the rib he had been commissioned to cook was. Lena’s eyes went up to Han, who had his eyes on her, he was looking at her almost doubtfully, as if he wanted to tell her something.
—Something happens?— She asked in a low voice, considering that they were quite close and there was no need to yell or anything, Han didn’t answer, looking at her for a second more before settling more relaxed in the chair.
Despite the fact that he had felt a little annoyed seeing the girl run so excitedly towards the unknown man, he put it aside thinking that he was surely a friend of the family and that, from how he had seen them interact It seemed that the older one was looking at her as if she were a younger sister.
That relaxed the man’s mind a bit, although his chest was still burning a bit.
— Do you like Thai food? — Lena wanted to laugh at the question, she really thought he was going to ask something more serious because of the expression he had on his face. — After we have the money, we can go to Thailand to eat some.
— Is it the date you won?
— I prefer to call it a celebration, I’ll leave the date for another time. — Han smiled, taking a swallow of his beer before placing his head on top of hers. — Or if you prefer Japanese food… We can go to Tokyo. — Han suddenly blurted out, he had thought so much about how to ask her to go with him to Tokyo that that idea flashed in his head at the last moment, he could feel how the girl tensed a little, closing her eyes tightly at what he had done, the situation was interrupted by Roman’s mocking and surprised voice.
—You let Brian beat you in the four hundred meter race as a baby gift?
– What? – Lena asked, getting up from the couch to walk over to Mia, with a smile. — Are we going to have a mini Toretto in the family? — Mia nodded before laughing as she felt her sister surround her body with her arms.
And it wasn’t for nothing, Lena knew how much Mia wanted to be a mother, she herself had witnessed the maternal care she had, she had taken care of her for several years of her life and she was happy to know that she would fulfill her dream of having her family with the man she love so much – Congratulations Mia. — The eldest hug her, shedding a few small tears, Lena had been a great emotional support in her personal life, even though they were not together, being the only women in the family gave them that unmatched feeling of affection. – You’re crying? No, don’t cry, the baby will come out very noisy.
Mia shook her head, hiding her face in her sister’s neck, everyone giggled, seeing the sisters give each other affection, something they hadn’t seen before, Han’s eyes fell on Lena, who kept whispering to Mia while stroking her back, his eyes dropped to the ground a second, his mind began to run into many different thoughts, feeling a hand on his shoulder, turning around, he could see Gisele, who smiled at him before walking past him and towards Dom, who was watching the scene of his sisters as well.
…
– Ready? — Han’s voice was heard in her ear, she looked at him smiling and nodding before looking down at his body, noticing how he was dressed as a police officer.
— Do you think you were a policeman in your past life? Because you look very good in this — The girl told him, making him laugh, looking at her for a second before his lips stamped on hers, it was fast, however, it felt as good as the day they stole that pipe.
—Let’s go to work then. — He said, smiling at her before walking away to get into his car, Lena blinked, before laughing and walking towards the motorcycle, Dom had decided to have two motorcycles, according to him, it was safer, but Lena knew that he didn’t want to see her driving a car, she wasn’t sure why, but she didn’t object, she just wanted to finish that mission well.
— Hobbs is on the other side of the city… There won’t be a better opportunity. — That made Dom jump, it was what they were waiting for.
– All ready! The time has come, first team in position! Gisele, Lena, with caution. — This one asked, being the only ones without the protection of a car, they should be more careful.
They both nodded, placing their helmets before leaving the place at the same time, making their vehicle tires squeal, they all got out immediately, ready to start with the plan they had already made.
When their targets were in front of them, they switched on their communicators, ready to begin the plan. — Okay, remember, we only have one chance, let’s do this well and enjoy those ten million, okay? — the “yes” were heard after Lena said those words, and she was going to start, since she was the one who opened the mission, but before that happened, Mia’s voice was heard on her intercom.
—Lena, abort the mission! Hobbs is here!
— Damn. — The girl cursed hearing that, squeezing the handlebars of her motorcycle. — Well friends, change of plans, it is cancelled, Hobbs has Dom and the others. — That made everyone look at each other from where they were, seeing how Lena turned her motorcycle in a “U” turn, they followed her, Han being the first to accelerate behind the girl, seeing how she took the way back to the warehouse.
Lena didn’t know how long had taken to get back, but the first thing she did when she got off that motorcycle was to run towards Dom, who was looking sadly at a body on a table, Lena’s hands suddenly turned cold, afraid to approach. Looking around, she saw Mia and Brian sitting near a wrecked car, again, her gaze fell on the body on the table, there was just someone missing there.
Vince.
Dom’s eyes met his sister’s, making her deny, not wanting to accept that the man who had cared for her as if she were his own sister had left. – Dom…
— Vince is gone, Lena… — The girl couldn’t shed tears, she simply swallowed hard, feeling how her cold hands trembled in despair, not knowing what to do.
Lena was not someone who thought of death as a bad thing, after all, what they were doing was something deadly that would lead them to die at any second, but the sudden way it happened, just a few days ago she was hugging him because she had met him again and now, she couldn’t even say goodbye.
Lena felt how a hand made hers stop trembling, a somewhat rough hand, but warm, it caressed her knuckles while holding it with some force, Lena knew whose touch it was, however, she couldn’t do anything more than head down, feeling that pain in her chest for the loss of her dear friend.
A member of her family.
…
— Let’s go, we don’t have all day.
That was the first thing Lena heard after a long time, the girl was now leaning against the railing of a small booth that was in the place, her gaze had been lost all that time, she had left Han’s side and he did not insist In staying, from the way the girl had acted when the man had shown up, he concluded that they must have been very close, and if she dealt with her feelings by taking space, he understood. — I got a flight, we’ll be out of Rio in about five hours.
— I don’t mean to escape… I mean to finish the job. — Lena closed her eyes, she knew that Dom was not going to leave something undone, much less if now that was personal, they had taken the life of one of its members, the only thing he could do was continue with the plan.
That was the reason why he died anyway, he was not going to let his death be in vain, for him, for the family that he had formed and that he was not able to enjoy as he deserved.
—Are you crazy Dom? It can’t be done.
—It’s a suicide mission. — Roman followed Giselle, Lena decided to continue with her gaze lost on the ground, listening to the negative opinion of everyone else on the case. — It is your friend who is at the table. The plan failed, it’s not possible Dom, Reyes already knows we’re going.
— You are right, they tripled the security at the police station, they’ll have a wall of shots.
They all fell silent, looking at Lena, who hadn’t said a word and apparently wasn’t going to say one anytime soon. – It is a trap. – Han said suddenly, looking at Dom with certainty. – and you know it.
— Dom, listen to them, run away before all this gets worse, get out of Rio. Now,- said the blonde who worked for Hobbs.
Dom’s gaze shifted to his sister, who was now looking at the body on the table with some regret, he could hear her hard breathing from where she was, and he knew that if she said it was crazy, he would stop all this.
But he knew that she wasn’t capable of leaving that like that, he was a Toretto after all. – Lena…
The girl kept her gaze on the body for a minute before returning to the team, swallowing before taking that confident stance that was so characteristic of her. — No one is forced to stay if you consider it very dangerous, but for my part, this is no longer for those ten million dollars… Vince died for this plan, and I will not let his death be wasted just because I am afraid … — Lena saw her brother, noticing his proud smile. — I do not leave a family member behind, even if he is dead.
Dom nodded, smiling, and was about to go up the stairs to the booth before Hobs’s voice interrupted them. – I’m coming. — They all looked in his direction, seeing how he stood up, almost the same way as Lena, for sure. — I’ll go with you, Toretto, until we finish with that imbecile.
-What’s the plan then? We can’t hide forever. — Brian said, looking at the older, he smiled, knowing that he had already won everyone’s support.
-Money is all he cares about, let’s get it, and we’ll have him.
…
And there they were, Lena was running into the action again, after making the plan rather hastily, they all started to get going, she, Roman and Han would be in a team, while the others divided their work in another part of the plan.
Lena had to leave the car because it had been destroyed by the fantastic Hobs, so what she had to do was steal a motorcycle, it wasn’t difficult, there wasn’t much attention in the parking lot of the police station, at least, not when Dom and Brian were moving the safe out of its place.
—Everything alright Lena?
— Perfect, do you have the location?
– You follow the chase. — And so she did, Lena managed to see two motorcycles pass in front of her, which made it easier for her to blend in with the police.
A few seconds later, she managed to see how they both took out their weapons, which made her take the gun that she had managed to place between the motorcycle and her leg, she didn’t understand why the police didn’t use that trick, it was more practical.
Controlling her motorcycle with one hand and resting the gun on her entire arm, the girl fired at the tires of the motorcycles, causing them to explode and the two policemen flying into the air. —Nice shot, Lena.
– Obvious. – She answered, putting the weapon away again before taking a shortcut again to find Roman and Han. – I’ll see you ahead.— She reported, disappearing from the sight of the two men who were carrying the safe, Lena drive a few streets until she managed to see a caravan of police cars, she She steps on the accelerator, staying right in front of the last two cars, giving a little jump when the The motorcycle’s tire went into a hole in the pavement, to then accelerate more.
— With all respect, Han, but what a nice ass you have, Lena. Do you do deadlifts? — The girl frowned, the two police cars approached her side, both men in each car laughed, she let go of the handlebars for a second to be able to straighten up and show the middle finger to both of them, who only let out a laugh before going back to his seriousness to concentrate on work.
As Lena slowed down, Han positioned in front of her so he could hit a car, in which was a cop with a shotgun, ready to fire at Dom. – Honey, move.- Lena wasted no time moving to her left, watching Han’s car slammed on the brakes before picking up speed again, closing in on her.
When Lena heard that both sides of the road were free, she sighed, it was her turn. — Sweeties, I’m going to need help, someone pick me up. — Without letting anyone answer, the two cars were left behind, accelerating, she saw how Dom and Brian followed their way, knowing that she had to gain time, she accelerated more. — Have you ever played bowling? Let me show you how to do a strike.
She smiled, when the two men saw how the motorcycle began to spin, wearing out the tires, their eyes widened when she saw the motorcycle rest on one tire, the rear one almost looked like a top. — Open up! — She screamed, already lowering one leg of the motorcycle while half her body was still on it, at the moment they separated, the motorcycle was thrown towards them, rather towards the policemen who were in the middle of the road, the The vehicle slid along the ground, making turns that some of the cars managed to avoid, but without controlling their speed, they crashed into the parked cars or the trees on the left. – ¡Chuza! – Lena celebrated, running to the left, getting into Han’s car when he stopped to pick her up.
Greeting her with a high five, he laughed when he saw her remove her helmet and smile excitedly, before taking the police radio. — See you on the other side, encantos, good luck. — She spoke, before leaning back in the seat, closing her eyes with a little tiredness.
-Hey, Han…- Roman’s voice came on, both figures in the car looked at the radio for a second before hearing Roman’s laugh. – Did you hear? You are no longer his only encanto. – The man laughed, making Lena snort in amusement as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the seat.
— Feel special, it’s the last time you’ll hear it anyway, dude. – Han said, laughing before putting the radio back and driving to where they should go, the warehouse.
…
– And where do you plan to go? Remember that you are now a fugitive. — Roman asked, Han, Lena and Roman were already in the warehouse, Santos had reported that they were on their way, which left them calmer, they knew that Dom and Brian would be fine. — You have to choose a place where they can’t extradite you in case you have bad luck and get caught.
— I don’t know Roman, with ten million in your hands you don’t know where to start. — The girl said, sitting down in the small chair that was in the place.
— You look like a girl who would go to Dubai, you look like a woman from Abuh Dhabi
– What does that mean? – Han asked suddenly, wanting to get the point.
– It’s hot, dude. — Han laughed, of course, he couldn’t miss his comment. — But seriously, you’re going to Tokyo together, right? — They both tensed when they heard those words come out of Roman’s mouth, remaining silent, which made the dark-skinned man laugh. — Oh please, I saw you eat your mouths a few hours ago, don’t play innocent.
Han didn’t say anything, he could feel Lena’s gaze on him, but he didn’t dare say a single word. — I thought the goal of this is not to cross paths again. – She said, making Han look up suddenly, looking at her with a frown. — It’s worked like that up to now, hasn’t it?
— Well yes, but… You and Han are quite discreet, I think you’ll be fine even if you go together, but if your idea is to travel, Dubai is always a good place to start — Roman nodded, looking at the couple, who had different looks in their eyes.
And he knew he had screwed up when Lena smiled at him and got up, walking towards Mia, leaving Han and Roman alone. – Bro…
— Lena and I never talk about Tokyo… Not together.
