Chapter 28: Its like she knew you were coming back

Nobody's POV
Later that night, the team cleaned up and brought the gas tanks to the races where everyone filled up their tanks. Dom came with a duffle back and handed Leo and Santos their money and heard them start to fight, "Yo, why your stack is bigger than mine always?" Santos asked and Leo answered, "Cause I'm supersized, baby!"
Dom then told them to have fun, seeing the look on Han's face, something was wrong.
"Cops just raided our garage in Baracoa." Han states. Dom sucks his teeth and let's Han continue, "They were real interested in you." Dom then thought about Mia and what happened to Jesse and Vince.
"Heat's on and we just sent up a flare that's gonna lead them right to us. I say we move out first thing in the morning." Han finishes. Dom shook his head slowly and stated while looking in the distance and then back to Han, "Nah, it's me they want. And if they catch me, they're throwing big numbers at anybody with me."
Dom then puts out his beer and said, "Han, we had a good run." Han then clinked their bottles together as Dom continued, "Time for you to go do your own thing."
Han thought of his old friends and smiled, "I heard they're doing some crazy shit in Tokyo." Dom and Han smirk at each other. Han just told him that so if he ever needed him, that's where he'll be.
"Have you seen Letty?" Dom asks suddenly and Han nods his head in front of him, gesturing to the beach. Dom turns around and spots her and starts walking towards her.
Letty was sitting on the rocks by the beach, when she heard footsteps approaching. She turned her head and smirked as a voice she'd known all to well said, "There she is." Letty looks up at Dom and watches him as he sits down on the rocks next to her and says as they both intertwine their hands and look out onto the water, "I hear Rio is nice this time of year."
Dom didn't waste anytime as he told her, "The cops are getting hungrier." Letty rolled her eyes and smiled as she looked at him and stated, "Then I guess we're doing our job."
"I'm a walking target. I don't want you around when they catch up to me." Dom states. Letty turns so she faces her husband and quickly thinks. "'Ride or Die," remember?"
"Dom, how long have we been doing this?" Letty continues raising her voice so he can here her clearly. "And now all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it's too dangerous? Come on." Letty and Dom then stare into each others eyes.
Letty then grabs his face in her hands and says, "We'll figure it out. We always do." Dom then kisses her passionately and then two went to their beach house and made love. That night, Dom was sitting in the dark, watching his wife sleep peacefully. He then gets up, grabs his bag, looks at the money he left her, wrapped in their chain, and looked at his wife one last time, before walking out of her life...Forever.
Downtown Los Angeles
Brian ran through a dark building, chasing a man. The guy jumped through the window at the end of the hallway and landed on a roof. Not hesitating, Brian did the same, running from roof to roof, gate to gate, basically everywhere trying to arrest this guy. The man then mocked out a nearby cop and took his gun and started shooting for people to get out his way.
Brian pulled out his gun and quietly followed the man into an apartment building. Brian looked up the stairwell and then down the hallway to see the man rounding the corner. Brian ran with his gun in his hand as he heard a woman scream. The man ran into her room and went out the window onto a platform. Finding that there was nowhere to run, he pulled the gun towards the window he came from.
Brian asked the woman to stay quiet and she gestured where the man went. Brian then knew he had nowhere to go, so he jumped out of a different window, managing to fall on top of the guy, sending them off the platform. Then man and Brian crushed the roof of someone's car.
"I don't know shit!" The guy yelled as he had is hands up in surrender while Brian pointed his gun at him. "Give me a name!" Brian yelled.
"David Park! David Park's the guy you want! Please!" The guy pleaded.

Brian's POV
As soon as I took care of that run-away, I made my way back to the office.
"Thank God. Listen, he's in a mood because yesterday was his cheat day, and then today, some genius brought him donuts." Agent Trinh stated as I ran to her from down the hall. I rolled my eyes as I was fixing my appearance and said, "Oh, great."
I walked into the room with Trinh and while I was fixing my tie, I said, "Sorry I'm late."
"Complaints keep rolling in after your little downtown Olympics, O'Connor. Tell me that reinstating you wasn't a mistake." Agent Penning stated.
Agents Cara and Trinh look at me with worry as I simply said, "I got a name. David Park."
"That's it? That's all you got? David Park?" Agent Stasiak asks sarcastically before continuing, "I could throw a fortune cookie out this window and hit 50 David Parks right now."
Agent Cara rolls her eyes and sighs. "It's Korean, not Chinese."
"Whatever." Stasiak states. I smirk at Cara and continue, "Park is a scout that recruits street racers to be mules for the Braga cartel. We find Park, and we bust the bad guys.

1 month later- Panama City, Panama
A little boy went running to Dom and told him that there was a phone call waiting for him. When Dom reached the phone, he said, "Dímelo.(Tell me.)"
"Dom." A shakily familiar voice said into the phone. Dom sighed in realization and said, "Mia, I told you not to call me here."
Not wasting time, Mia said, "Dom, it's Letty." Dom's heart raced at the sound of his wife's name, but his world came crashing down when Mia said, "She's been murdered."
A few days later, Brian and a few agents watched Mia at Letty's funeral. They thought that Dom would show up because she meant something to him, but little did they know, he was just hiding in the distance because he knew that if he was close enough, they'd find him. Brian stood there and watched his ex sob at her best friends grave.
"Facial recognition software matched Toretto about 10 minutes after he crossed the border. I don't get it. I thought he'd show." Stasiak stated and walked off, but Brian knew that was too good to be true. No, he showed up, but by the time Brian looked to where Dom had been standing, he was gone.

Mia's POV
After Letty's funeral, I went home, just to be followed by the F.B.I. God, why can't they leave me alone?! Oh, that's right, because I'm the sister of a criminal. I packed up some stuff, like I do every other month, and bright it down to the garage. I started to go through the box when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around slowly to see non-other than my big brother. I ran up to Dom and hugged him tight and started to cry for joy and fright.
"I told you not to come. They're staking the place out. If they find you..." I started to say, but he cut me off as he assured me, "They won't."
Dom and I took a good look at one another. "Come on. Look at you." Dom says to me as he wipes away my tears. He then looks around like he's looking for something and when his eyes land on his used-to-be damaged black Charger, he looked at me in shock and confusion.
I smiled as he walked towards in and said, "Letty wouldn't let them junk it. Even though it is a goddamn curse." as Dom touched it to make sure his car was real.
"When she came back, she was always in here, working on it day and night." I said as I sniffled and smiled at the memory, like it was yesterday. "It was weird. It was like she knew you were coming back." I finished wondering exactly how she would know.
Dom spotted his chain and said, "I want to see the crash site."
