Abuh Dhabi, Dubai
One year eight months later
Lena had taken Roman’s advice a year ago, she returned to Dubai as her initial stop, and in which she found a reason to stay for a long time.
It had been months since the last time she saw her siblings, she had visited Mia about twice to see little Jack and Brian, sometimes she saw Dom, but it wasn’t very often, it had been almost two years since she hadn’t seen some of the people she met on the mission in Rio, since she last saw that charismatic Asian. After her departure, she had cut off communication with most, except for Dom, Mia and, for some reason, Roman, who visited her from time to time due to his many trips with all his women in his own private jet.
Life in Dubai, was going to be honest, it had been very easy, everything she ever wanted, she had in, almost everything, she traveled periodically, had a few other properties in the country, and in others, she had opened a luxury car workshop in downtown Dubai, everything was going well.
Too well.
That was why she was not surprised when a call came to her cell phone in the middle of the night, sighing heavily, she touched the nightstand that she had next to the big bed in the very well decorated and huge room she was in.
Deciding not to turn on the light so as not to make too much of a fuss, she got out of bed when she saw the caller ID, accepting the call, she went out onto the balcony, closing the door behind her. – Dom?
—Lena, how are you?
— Dom, well… How can you be with a life in Dubai. — The girl laughed a little low, leaning on the balcony of the place. —What’s going on, Dom? I know you wouldn’t call unless it was something important. — Lena said, looking back, closing the glass door that separated the room from the cold Abu Dabi night.
– It’s Letty. – That made Lena stop in her steps, looking strangely at the ground under her feet.
—Letty?
— She’s alive, Lena… And I want you to help me find her.
Lena heard her brother’s voice, that thick voice had that feeling of concern deep inside it, the girl blinked, looking at the horizon, noticing the calm sea that was illuminated by the moon, lowering her gaze to see the two cars , totally, luxurious, parked at the entrance of the property, her life had been so calm lately, so perfect, everything was like a fairy tale.
However, Lena did not consider herself a princess. Besides, Lena considered Letty as her family, and she didn’t leave anyone behind. —I’ll see you there tomorrow.— She answered, hanging up the call, lowering her cell phone, the girl blinked her gaze towards the room, fixing her gaze on the bed before swallowing, deciding to return to sleep.
She has a flight to catch tomorrow morning.
…
Lena’s hands stopped adjusting her necklace inside her shirt once the elevator doors opened, she had arrived at the agreed place in no time, having a private jet at your disposal all the time had its advantages.
Taking steps into the room, she smiled when she saw the back of Roman and Tej, who, it seemed, were also arriving at the place. — Wow, it seems that this time we did have a budget. — Lena’s voice caught everyone’s attention, causing all eyes to be on her.
– Princess! But look at you, you look better than the last time I visited you, a month ago? I don’t know… — Lena laughed, accepting Roman’s hug — It seems that life is treating you well, right?
Lena slapped the man’s back at that, making him chuckle before letting go. — I missed you too, Roman… Tej, I did miss you. — The girl ran with open arms to the man, who smiled and hugged the girl, she looked a little more tanned than last time, giving her skin a caramel color that suited her very well.
Lena looked around the room, seeing Gisele there, the older one smiled at her, opening her arms, which Lena gladly accepted. – I’m glad you’re okay, Lena.
– It’s nice to see you again. — She responded, passing to Brian. How is Jacky? Does he say “Lena” yet? – Brian laughed, catching the girl in his arms, both laughing as they greeted each other.
— I used to be the first one you greeted. Since when did I come after Roman?
-Hey, chopstick y-
— I couldn’t dodge him, he saw me before I could hide. — The girl responded with a pout, listening to Roman’s complaint and Tej’s laughter on the way to Han, the Asian who had been leaning on a support in the place, watching how the girl greeted them all, rather, admiring the change that she had had in that long year. —Hi Han, have you been alright?
She look happy.
– I don’t complain. — He responded with a smile, opening his arms to accept the girl, Lena wrapped her arms around his waist while he wrapped hwr shoulders, squeezing her tightly to his body.
At that moment, they both let out a sigh, as if they had been holding it back for so long, and being in the arms of the tallest had given her a sense of calm that she hadn’t felt in a long time, and for Han, going back to feeling the warmth of her arms made him feel like Tokio felt before she crossed his way. — It seems that you have been very well. Beach? — He pointed to his cheek, giving him to understand his tanned skin color.
— Dubai. — She smiled at him when she separated, walking to a table to leave her bag in the place. The girl looked at the large window of the place, seeing Dom in the place, smiling, she walked towards him. – You know? It was two in the morning in Dubai when I received your call, you could have been more aware.
-It’s nice to see you too, Lena. — The girl smiled at him, hugging the man tightly before hearing footsteps approaching the room where they were.
Deciding to join the others, the siblings walked towards the group, hearing Roman say something about Hobbs, who was entering the place with a woman unknown to them. -…Why does it smell like baby oil?
—Keep opening your mouth and you’ll smell a kick.- Hobbs said, with that deep voice and as violent as always.
-Okay, Hobbs, you have the best team in the world standing in front of you, give them a reason to stay. — Dom said, making him look at them all, Lena sat at a table in the place, next to Han, who was eating some chips, as always.
Lena’s eyes looked at the strange woman, she looked Russian, she was scary if she was honest. – We hunted down Owen Shaw, ex-air force agent, special ops.
– We started bad. — Lena murmured, however, she was confused, Dom had told her that this was something about Letty, not a certain Shaw.
Lena watched Roman approach, leaning over her to whisper to Han, – Don’t you have any more? — The Asian showed him the bag, which was already empty, the dark-skinned eyes turned to Lena. – You have change? — The girl touched her pants, denying with a grimace, seeing how he moved away to stand next to Tej
-…they stole a missile terminal and a computer virus from the communications agency. — Lena got down from the table to get closer to where everyone was, looking at Owen’s documents while Hobbs was in charge of explaining the entire case to those present.
– We assume Shaw puts together a nightshade. – Lena’s head snapped up at that, looking at the strange woman before seeing Hobbs.
– And that is?
— It is a technobomb, it can practically block the entire military network for a whole day. – Lena looked the strange woman up and down, tilting her head before turning back to Hobbs.
— A soldier blinded for a second in mid-fight will die. Blinding a country for twenty-four hours, the loss would be unthinkable. It could be worth billions to a buyer – . Lena raised her eyebrows when she heard that.
— Billions? Why don’t we steal it? – Tej nodded to Lena, who said that while making a disinterested face, already sitting on a small bench between Gisele and Han.
– Hey, bro. — Roman’s voice caught everyone’s attention. — Which of these things is a dollar? It says something about a-
Roman almost fell to the ground from getting out of the way as Hobbs drew his gun, shooting the vending machine, Lena jumped at the sound of glass breaking, before looking at Hobbs almost in annoyance.
He really didn’t have patience.
-I still don’t understand what this should care. — Lena suddenly said, being sincere, looking at the military in front of her. — I don’t know this guy Shaw, if he wants to attack Russia, let him do it, I don’t like the Russians anyway, it doesn’t imply a danger to my well-being. – She finished, touching Shaw’s file, still looking at Hobbs, who smiled a little.
— Help me catch Shaw, he only needs one piece and I plan to stop him before he gets it, I know you are family, now I offer you the opportunity to reunite that family. — With that, the man threw some more papers, where the first image caught Lena’s attention.
It was Letty.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, Han’s gaze shifted to Lena, who took the file in her hands, peering at it before she looked up. — If you want us to do this… Then I propose a deal.
That stunned everyone in the room, watching as the girl took a safe position on top, leaning over the table, looking the man in the eye. — You guide us to Letty, we hunt Shaw and… All of us are exonerated, all of us. — she proposed.
Hobbs raised an eyebrow like everyone else, who looked at Hobbs after a second, waiting for his answer — I can’t promise you that.
-Oh, you have to. — Lena assured, nodding, feeling a presence next to her, Dom’s voice made her confirm his identity.
-That’s the deal, take it or leave it.- Hobbs looked at how everyone on the team looked at him for sure, feeling the pressure of the moment, the man nodded.
-Catch Shaw, and you will be forgiven.
…
— Did you travel from Dubai and couldn’t bring one of your many expensive cars, Lena? — Roman asked almost indignantly when he saw the cars in which they would have to drive in case something happened.
— I’m not going to tear apart what cost me a fortune, Bombón.
— As if you had bought them — he murmured, earning a soft slap, from the girl, on his back, Lena was on the hood of one of the black cars that had been assigned to them.
Roman, Han, and Lena were near the cars parked on the top floor of the parking lot, Brian, Tej, Gisele, and Dom were with Hobbs, taking a the view. — Hey Han, leaving Lena and her horrible decision not to bring Dubaian treasure with her, how are you and Gisele? I saw you arrive together — He annoyed, poking the man’s ribs, who looked at him with a frown before turning his eyes to Lena, who didn’t look expectantly.
-It’s… what do you mean?
– How it’s going? I heard you were together in China… Ah, naughty. — Roman continued to bother, earning only sighs and complaints from the Asian while he tried to tell him to shut up for once.
Lena smiled at that, Gisele had done as she asked, Han was fine and they were both happy, that was a huge relief for the girl, who looked to her side to see the night sky around them.
-Wait, wait!- Tej’s voice caught everyone’s attention. — The police say that the alarm was activated at the interpol headquarters.
– Damn! He brought us here to attack Interpol,- Brian said, making everyone alert. – This is all a trap.
— Brian, take the team. Hobbs and I will wait for Shaw. – Dom’s eyes locked on Lena, who ran alongside Roman and Han, grabbing their weapons before running to their designated cars. – Lena.
— He called, making the minor stop, he pointed to a motorcycle that was parked next to Hobs’ big car, Lena looked at Gisele, seeing how she was already inside a car, the girl sighed, nodding before running towards the vehicle, following Roman’s car and Gisele, who had been the first out with Brian.
The team sped through the streets on their way to interpol, hearing Han say that they were about two blocks away from getting there, Lena looked around, noticing how empty the city was, but it didn’t matter much to her, what she was interested in was a few miles away.
— Interpol is ahead. — Lena heard Han say, she’s slowed down a bit, she didn’t feel very good about all that, and with good reason, the cars hadn’t stopped when they were already shooting at them.
As if they were waiting for them.
Lena sighed, taking out the gun that she had felt hit her leg when she got on the motorcycle, seeing how all the cars stopped suddenly, Lena passed in front of them, just like a year and a half ago, she advanced taking a handlebar while with the reloaded machine gun on his arm began to shoot towards the roof of the building in question.
Her body almost fell when she saw a small explosion next to her, getting out of the vehicle, Lena quickly walked behind one of the cars, shooting towards the two men who were almost in front of them.
Those men got into vans while a car, quite strange according to Lena, where a blonde girl was going, led the way, Brian’s shout saying that it was time to go gave the order to everyone, Lena ran to her motorcycle, watching as Gisele Somehow, she thought it was a good idea to come out of her hiding place, the girl’s eyes saw a small light at the top of the building. – Han! — She called, pointing to the woman before she, from her motorcycle, will shoot at the same time as the man in the building, she managed to see how his body fell backwards, looking at the ground, Lena managed to see Han and Gisele hugging on the floor.
Lowering the gun, she put her helmet on, Lena’s eyes connecting with Han’s for a second before Han raised a finger at them and then closed her helmet’s protection, Accelerating without looking back at the pair, following the cars of the team quickly.
— Roman, you and I will follow that weird thing with the blonde inside… I want to see what that stupid car is. — Lena ordered, earning an “okay” from the dark-skinned before they both sped down the street where that car was driving.
Lena managed to see how they broke the window of the truck that was “protecting” the strange car, narrowing her eyes, Lena moved, dodging the first shot, waiting for an explosion that never came, she dodged another device again, and that was how it was three, trying to understand why they didn’t explode or something.
-And what is that thing? A hockey puck? — Lena did not understand the function of that device either, but she could not think either because she felt a kick to the rear of the motorcycle, it was minimal, but it made her lose control for a few seconds, through one of the mirrors she could see Tej’s car lose control until crashing into some cars parked on the street, thus overturning with great force.
-What the hell…? — Lena was surprised at that, looking ahead again, still with her eyes on her main target, that blonde in the weird car.
Another crash was heard from behind, now, her eyes caught Roman’s car going through an entire store until she lost sight of him, looking in the rearview mirror, Lena managed to see the device near one of Brian’s car’s headlights, if that was what made the cars lose control, he would be next. Taking the small weapon that was on his leg, she took the handlebars with a strong hand, pointing towards Brian’s car, who widened his eyes at that.
– Lena? Lena! What are you doing? — Without answering, the girl took one last look ahead before releasing the shot, thus separating the device from the man’s car. “What the hell, Lena!?”
“I saved your life, O’Conner, you’re welcome. – the girl said, tucking her gun back into its place before accelerating faster toward the truck.
From one moment to the next, all the cars were at an intersection, Lena didn’t pay much attention, she just followed the strange car, knowing that there was a Shaw and Dom in front of her. Until one of the cars went in another direction, however, Lena could see that blonde hair sticking out of the windows of that weird car, so she just kept going.
Trying to keep the car in sight and to somehow get the truck out of her way, the girl moved to the left, almost approaching a big red bus, Lena’s gaze turning doubtful as she saw how the blonde’s car accelerated until it stopped just a few meters away from them, not understanding the reason, she managed to see how the truck almost next to her lost control a bit, her eyes went to the car behind, Brian was hitting them .
Lena reviewed the scene, opening her eyes knowing what they wanted to do. – Bryan, stop it! — The man did not listen, he was confused, but he did not obey. – Brian, to the right! — The girl couldn’t say more when the truck did take the right, but Brian’s car hit the strange vehicle and, in some inexplicable way, ended up flying through the skies until falling a few meters away from them, the strange vehicle turned around and Lena sped up more, she knew Brian was fine, her mission here was not to lose the blonde who had already pissed her off enough.
Managing to get close to the truck, the girl took the machine gun, she had already had enough of them, with the same maneuver, it began to shoot, surprising those inside, because the car lost control for a few seconds before returning to its normal state. Seeing how one of the men inside it pulled out a gun, Lena didn’t wait for him to even aim, she pulled the trigger, causing the gun to go off, hearing a cry of pain, approaching the side of the truck, she bowed her head when her gaze connected with the driver’s, not wanting anyone to stop her, she pointed the gun at the tire next to her, letting out two bullets before accelerating, watching how the car lost control until it stopped with a strong crash to the wall of the big tunnel in which they were.
In a quick movement, Lena decided to reload the weapon, knowing that those had been the last bullets she had, driving the motorcycle with one hand, Lena followed the blonde, who had felt somewhat scared to see that she no longer had company behind her, but her composure held, she kept accelerating.
Lena knew that thing was bulletproof, there was no way it wouldn’t be if she’d sent Brian’s car flying like that, so she was trying to aim for that cut between the window and the iron that was just above the blonde’s head.
With luck she killed her and won the car.
And shoot, hearing the blonde’s scream, she smiled, she had hit very high but she had scared her, that meant she could try again, in one of those she could lose control.
When she was about to shoot again, the squeal of some tires was the only thing she heard before she felt severe pain in her leg and she lost control of the motorcycle, before falling onto the cold pavement, spinning around until she stopped at the fence that separated a cliff from the road.
Grunting, the girl tried to reach her leg, trying to get out of the motorcycle, feeling a great burning sensation in the entire lower part of her body, managing to sit up a bit, she let out a little scream, she really felt that something had been broken, but she hoped it was just from the kick and not some serious injury. – Lena!?
Han’s voice was heard in her earpiece, followed by Gisele’s voice, they both sounded worried, they had heard the scream. – Lena!
— Ah, damn blonde, I swear I’m going to rip you hair by hair and I’m going to make a nice wig for my daughter’s barbies. – She muttered as she tried to get up, Gisele blinked at that while Han swallowed, trying to figure out where the girl was. – Ah, I didn’t plan on using a cane at such a young age.
Han sighed, feeling relieved to hear her normal voice. – I’ll go pick her up. Gisele, Roman and Tej are a few blocks to your right, Brian is with them. – The woman nodded, swerving, Han watched the car pull away before stepping on the accelerator, thinking that if Lena was complaining, it must be because she must be hurt.
