– Honestly, I didn’t expect a house as luxurious as this one, Lena, you exceeded my expectations.
Lena sighed, lowering the gun once she saw the familiar face of the man in her living room. – What is the honor of having you in my house, Nobody? I thought you were dead…
– What a question, I thought the first thing you would question would be the words I asked your brother to say to you. – Lena stopped her step towards the couch when she heard that, seeing the man sitting in the big couch, with a confused expression on her face. – Wow, he’s pretty forgetful too.
– What words?
– A few unimportant words, now, I’ll be direct, I think you know what I’m doing here…
Lena sighed, still with doubt in her head, but also tired, she dropped into the couch. – I think I made it clear that I was not going to do this kind of thing again, whatever it is, I’m not interested. – She said, leaning back in her seat.
It had only been a few months in which her life had been calm, somehow, she had not gotten into trouble or anything chaotic, there was no risk of dying, except for that time when she decided to get drunk with Roman and teach him how to drift to the dark-skinned.
Alcohol, a vehicle and sharp turns will never be a good idea.
But she was living well, calm, managing the workshop that she had in the city, she had even learned to cook, she had traveled to Los Angeles to see Jack, Mia and her new niece, little Olivia, a little brunette with blue eyes what had stolen Lena’s heart ever since she first held her in her arms.
Although Brian complained that she would always bring little green cars to the kids, she knew that he appreciated the mere fact that she was there.
She was their favorite aunt, and that, according to little Jack, isn’t like she gave herself that title.
– I think that after what I tell you, you will want to be part of this.
– Yes, well, make it quick, I’m a little hungry and the last Japanese food restaurant here closes in twenty minutes. – Lena said, looking at the time on her cell phone.
– It’s about Dom. – Lena looked up at that, seeing the seriousness on the man’s face. – Recently someone asked Hobbs for help to take a super weapon that was in possible attack, he accepted, and looked for the team as always, they did, they took the weapon but when everything seemed done, Dom decided to take the weapon and flee.
Lena heard that, wanting to laugh at the man’s words, Dom betraying the team, that sounded totally absurd. – Mr. Nobody… Have a good night, you already know the exit. – She said with a touch of mockery, getting up from the couch, walking back towards the stairs of the place.
– I know what you promised Han. – Lena stopped in her tracks when she heard that name. – I know you promised him to live in peace and I’m not going to force you to go, but both you and I know that Dom wouldn’t do that, not to his team… – Lena heard how the man stood up from his seat sighing a bit. – Think about it, Lena.
With that, the man left, Lena lowered her gaze before clenching her jaw, turning her gaze towards the table in the living room, she managed to see an orange envelope on it, walking towards it, took it in her hands, opening it, she found a plane ticket to Los Angeles and with it an address.
Her body fell into the couch behind her, holding the envelope in her hands, pulling out the plane ticket. She thought of Mr. Nobody’s words, Dom turning his back on his team? That didn’t make sense.
Looking at the envelope one more time, what if he was right?
Lena thought that the others weren’t aware of Mr. Nobody’s visit at all, they hadn’t even told her about the theft of the weapon that caused that, and she was grateful in some way, that meant that they were respecting her decision.
But this time it was her brother, a totally different one from what he was, she didn’t blame them, let alone Letty, who, she was sure, was the only person who at this moment refused to let others ask her for help or Brian’s.
That was the deal, no Brian or Lena, if anything happened the team would take over and leave them out of it.
Lena’s eyes went to the photo she had on the furniture that adorned the living room, just below the big screen on the wall, the photo of Han in that characteristic orange car that he had. – I think that even from the tranquility of life… You have to take vacations, right? Yeah, I know, bad saying, but you know what I mean… Sweetheart, I’ll be back soon, take care of the house for me.
…
– Lena, welcome to nothing.
– Very predictable coming from you, but you know? Being handcuffed was not part of my idea of your “someone will pick you up at the airport” – Lena complained once she entered the room. Everyone’s eyes glued to the girl as she sat next to Roman, leaving her hands on the table, she looked at them, smiling at them as if she were an innocent girl.
– What are you doing here? – Letty asked, her hard tone scared her a little, but she knew that she wasn’t really upset, more than anything worried. – I thought you said you weren’t going to get involved in these situations anymore.
– And I didn’t plan to do it, but it’s my brother we’re talking about in this situation. So… Here I am. – Lena sighed, leaning back in her seat, seeing Hobbs in a corner, greeting him as she passed her eyes at Mr. Nobody. – You still haven’t told us why we’re handcuffed.
– Right? This is abuse of power. – Roman mentioned, his annoyed look still fixed on the blond boy who was to the side.
– You said to round them up. – This one said obviously.
– I didn’t tell you handc… Just free them. – Mr. Nobody ordered, walking towards the corner of the room. Lena sighed, moving her wrists to free herself from the handcuffs, which she had removed once they had put her in the armored car.
– Is this how you treat all your friends?
– Friends? We don’t even know who this guy is.
– It doesn’t matter who I am, I’m nobody. – He said, Lena saw how there was a box of shortbread cookies on the corner of the table, seeing the group, who was focused on the mysterious man, took them, opening the box to take the first cookie. – He is nothing, he is less than me.
– It is clear that we are not getting anywhere, with anybody. – Roman said, turning to Lena, who looked quite calm while chewing that cookie. – we’ll been here four hours, and my ribs are already showing. – Lena heard that, pushing the box of cookies towards him, who took one before getting up, feeling numb from sitting for so long. – I don’t know about you, but I’m leaving.
– I wouldn’t recommend it. – Lena looked at the blond again when she heard that, the boy was average size, blue eyes, blond, somewhat attractive and seemed to be around her age, however, he was somewhat unbearable.
– Well, because of your bad work in Berlin, the interpol put you among the ten most wanted. – Mr. Nobody interrupted Roman’s annoyance towards the blonde before anything happened.
– The ten most wanted? – Lena looks at Roman, who had a glint of pride in his eyes. – Nothing bad.
– Well, ahn… Not you, Roman. – Nobody said, Lena choked on the piece of cookie upon hearing that, laughing as she coughed. – You are in eleven so…
Lena’s throat ached as she was finally able to push that piece of cookie down her throat, giggling at the thought of all of them being considered for the most wanted and dismissing the dark-skinned altogether. – That is impossible, what place do they occupy?
– Six, eight, nine and ten. – The blonde said, pointing to Hobbs, then to Letty and finally to Tej and Ramsey. Lena tried to hide her laughter, putting another cookie in her mouth when she heard how Ramsey was on that list and he wasn’t.
– Well, better, let’s focus on someone we won’t find on any list. – Lena listened, deciding to see the screen in front of her, in it she could see the image of a blonde with short hair, sunglasses, which made it impossible for her to see her whole face well other than her mouth and nose.
– Another Russian.
– How do you know she’s Russian?
– Have you seen her yet? Blonde and she looks like a bully, Russian. – Lena said, looking at her almost disgusted.
– We are waiting for confirmation, but I think I am sure that she is the cyberterrorist, Cipher.
– Ah no, Cipher is an organization, not a person. – Ramsey said, making everyone look at her, Lena turned her gaze from her to the blond when he spoke, taking another cookie to her mouth, she returned to Ramsey. – Nobody knows what she wants, Cipher is like a digital act of God, they… Well, she manipulates any system from the shadows, touches everything that can be hacked.
– And the most interesting thing, she never leaves a trace of what she does. – The blond said, drawing everyone’s attention. – Her digital identity is erased every few seconds.
– She’s basically like the Boggie man.
– Yes, and the sexiest Boggie man I’ve ever seen, if you talk to her, tell her to come visit me. – Lena smiled before Roman’s words and denied before going to see how the blonde made Roman lower his feet from the glass table. – Oh, why did you do that?
– Are you twelve?
– Well, what does all this have to do with Dom or with us in general? – Lena released, preventing Roman from getting more upset than he already was.
– In fact, nothing, but I find it very interesting that now she is working with him… – An image of Dom suddenly appeared on the screen.
Everyone in the room was silent, watching the screen with astonished eyes, Lena shifted her eyes from the screen to Hobbs and Letty, the man looked at her with nothing to say, he was just as surprised as she was. – He already put in her hands a functional electromagnetic pulse weapon. – The blond informed, causing everyone’s attention to go to him. – If they detonate that, any city in the world will be a war zone.
– And what is your idea then? – Lena asked, looking at Mr. Nobody with a raised eyebrow. – Catch Dom so you can question him? Because if that’s it, let me tell you that there are many, many flaws in your plan. We are talking about Dom.
– Exactly Lena, and for that reason I brought you here, I respect your decision not to want to do this kind of thing again, but of all those who are here, you are the one who knows Dom the most, you are his sister… Also, I brought a little extra help.
Lena frowned at that, looking back when she heard the door open, she swore she had never taken anything as quickly as that chair in her hands when she saw Shaw standing at the entrance of the room. Roman and Tej moved towards the girl, grabbing the chair before it slammed into the man in question. – No, Lena, put that chair down.
– I don’t need it, I can easily break his face with my hands. – She let go of the chair, but before she could take a step, Roman took her by the shoulders, pulling her as far away from the man as he could.
– Mr. Nobody, can you tell me why you put me in the same room as this good-for-nothing criminal?
– Such a big mouth on a little head, and very fast hands on that little body. – Shaw answered with that voice, so raspy and soft, that he had.
– I have not forgotten what you did, you bloody Brit. – Lena let go of Roman, looking at Mr. Nobody seriously. – I’m not going to team up with this bastard… Not without ending up killing him at the end.
– Okay, let’s clarify something, I’m not on your team, I don’t care about you, or you, not even your dead boyfriend, I came for Cipher.
– I think you’d better put those handcuffs on me. – Lena asked the blonde, feeling how her hands were clenched, wanting to run and smash the man’s head against the glass that surrounded them.
– Are you going to ask for a job as idiot in charge?
– I think that tight shirt is cutting off circulation to your brain, buy a bigger one. – Shaw responded to Hobbs’ insult. – Cipher looked for me first, she wanted me to look for the shadow device, I refused and she looked for my brother.
Lena decided to sit down, hands in her lap as she looked at the handcuffs on her wrists, yes, she had made them put them on, Lena hadn’t even been able to hit Shaw for what he did, that’s why that angers, she held in her, could make her do crazy things that she didn’t want to do – Hey, do I only see this?
– Ah, this is going to be good.
– Hey you… Shut your mouth, listen to me, you have to use the eye of God. – Lena heard Roman say, the girl closed her eyes, shaking her head. – If we will risk our lives traveling the world to find him, let’s use that, can find anyone, right?
Lena looked over at Mr. Nobody when she heard him say that it was a great idea, watching as everyone left the room except her and Shaw. – I really thought Tej or Ramsey were faster.
– Did you say something Lena? – The voice of Mr. Nobody was heard, making her look at him obviously.
– Please, I know you’re not an idiot, God’s eye won’t do any good, if Cipher is a dangerous hacker, do you really think she haven’t already thought of hacking that device? Sure it did and now Dom is possibly in every country in the world. – Lena said, settling in her seat as she looked at the group outside that crystalline room where the three of them were.
– And that’s why I decided to call you, quick and without fear of jumping over a burning gasoline tank. – With that, the man left, being watched by Lena until he joined the others.
How did he know about the gas tank?
– Did you jump a gas tank? – Lena only looked at Shaw for a moment before throwing her head back. – It was never my intention to hit your little boyfriend, in fact, that blow was for you.
– Shut up Shaw.
– I’m only making it clear to you because you think it was my fault that he died.
– Wasn’t it yours?
– As I told you, I was only going to hit you, he interfered and… He took the consequences. – Lena felt her body begin to heat up, she really wanted to give the man sitting next to her a good punch.
When she was about to get up, a loud buzzing hit her ears, making her shake her head in reflex with her eyes seeing how the glass that surrounded them cracked to such an extent that it was impossible to see through it, her eyes lowered to see how a bright red light fell at her feet, ready to get up and run, she felt her body being pushed to the ground, falling to the ground near the computers where the team used to be, Lena couldn’t open her eyes when she let out a grunt of pain when feeling how a body pressed against her body.
Her hands had been in an awkward position between the two of them, that ringing in her ears was making her head ache to such a point that she swore her ears were going to start bleeding due to the pressure she felt all over her skull, she felt dizzy and she start to look blurry.
She could feel Shaw move to try to get whatever was on him, however, a sudden extra weight made him fall back onto Lena, who let out a groan of pain as she felt her abdomen burn, in addition to the blow of the man’s body on her. – Look at this Dom, haven’t she cried so much to her boyfriend? Now she replace him with his own killer, what a family. – Lena heard a woman’s voice, but she couldn’t see well, she could only notice her blonde hair.
-I-I have a question…- Lena said between gasps. – Are you Russian?
If any of the team were conscious, they would have scolded her for sure, however, no one was okay, so Lena continued. -… It’s just that you have that face that the Russians make…
– Oh yeah? What is that face?
– The one they put on when they think they’ve won… – Lena smiled, she could feel something with a metallic taste rising from her mouth. – Too bad you’re going to end up losing, like all the Russians I’ve come across in my life…
Lena let out a scream when felt how she put a foot above the iron that was crushing them, right on Shaw’s back, making Lena’s side burn.
It was as if something was breaking through her skin.
After a second, Lena started to cough, that metallic taste was making her feel suffocated, when she did, the hot red liquid came out of her mouth, making the blonde smile. – That will happen, if you get to be alive for the end…
Lena felt how the force was removed immediately, the same, the blood in her throat was making her feel disgusted, so much so that when she saw Dom’s eyes look at her with concern and sadness, she simply shook her head, averting her gaze and trying to make the blood did not make her choke.
When the girl saw how some feet moved in front of her to be able to go to the exit, she spat out the little blood she had in her mouth. – Dom… Is that how it will be then? – She asked, seeing her brother look at her. – Mia… Brian… Are you going to turn your back on us?
He did not answer, he only saw her one last time before leaving there, Lena sighed, falling to the ground without strength, when Shaw was able to get up like everyone else, Lena’s eyes began to lock, noticing how she did not get up , Roman walked, with some difficulty, towards her – Lena… – He called, seeing that she did not respond and the blood in her mouth and around it, he got worried, completely forgetting the dizziness and the bruises, he knelt in front of her, lifting part of her shirt, he managed to see a wound.
– Lena, come on, you jumped out of a tank, you crossed a bridge, you can’t die because the idiot fell on you. – Roman complained with concern. There was a piece of crystal, about four inches long, in the girl’s stomach, but it looks like it was about to disappear inside her, with concern as he saw her breathing slow, Roman looked up to see that the girl was turning pale and did not react. – A doctor, we need a doctor.
