Chapter 33: Tunnels Pt. 1

Jaelenes POV
In the middle of the night, I felt myself falling to the side. Why you ask? Well, because my brother is not the smartest person in the world, and instead of laying me down on the couch gently, he just got up and let me smack my face on the couch.
"Uh! Really Brian!" I say groggily as I squint my eyes open. The sun was starting to rise, so there was a little bit of light in the dark living room.
Brian stretched as he said, "Well... It's 5 a.m., I have to get ready for work and I thought 'since I haven't seen my baby sister in a while, what's one way to get on her nerves'?"
I smiled as I rubbed the sleepiness from my eyes and said, "There's that and well, you."
"Yeah, yeah. That's cute. Anyway, I'm gonna take a quick shower and get ready. I'll be right back." Bri said as he walked his way to his room. After I heard the shower go on, I waited a few minutes after so that I could go into Brian's room to get my clothes and change.
I wore a navy blue and white stripped short Maxi dress with navy blue flats and my hair in its natural waves. When I was done, I walked back to the living room and checked my phone. Brandon texted me and asked if I was good so I sent back 'Great. Got here last night. Bri woke me up cause he has to go to work. I'll c u in a few days, week tops. Luv u!'.
"Who you texting?" Brian asked as he walked towards me in some jeans, anavy blue t-shirt and some black Nikes. I jumped from not hearing him come in the room and then laughed as Bri chuckled.
"Brandon. He's just checking up on me." I say sweetly. Brian nodded and then said, "I don't have to be at work for another hour and a half, so you wanna get some breakfast?"
"Yeah sure." I say happily cause let's face it, who can turn down food?! I grabbed my keys and phone and Bri did the same as we walked out the door.

Brian's POV
After breakfast, Jae decided to walk back to my place, but before she did, she let me know that she might go shopping. I gave her some extra money and we both went our separate ways. As I walked into the office, Trihn and I said hi to one another.
"I got a gift for you." I say jokingly as I hand her an evidence bag.
"All right." Trihn laughed and then continued sarcastically, "A dirty shot glass, just what I always wanted."
"I got these from the club last night. There's two sets of prints here. Run them both. I know one of these is Campos'. I think the other might be Braga's. And your gonna have to go beyond Interpol." I say while sitting on the edge of the desk. Trihn consent rated as she took in all of the info and nodded.
"So, that means I have to contact individual agencies, and that could take weeks. Okay." Trihn said as I nodded for confirmation. The GPS then vibrated letting me know that I was needed for another "mission" for Braga. On my way down to my car, I sent a quick text to Jae letting her know that I might be late for dinner.
I then raced through the streets of L.A. when my phone started ringing.
"Yeah." I answered. "That's your third traffic violation in less than three blocks. Slow it down, O'Connor." Penning stated. I smirked as I hung up instantly and said to myself, "Sure thing, Dad." and then I shifted gears to only drive faster, going through another red light.
The destination was a warehouse and I noticed Campos and his men leaning up against a few cars. Dom was in his car and when I looked over I saw a guy using a bug detector on the cars. I calmly then started to unscrew the tracker that was in my car while the men started towards my direction. Then as they got closer and closer with the detecter, I became more and more frantic to hide the tracker and get it to stop beeping. I got it out with two seconds to spare as I popped open my NOS energy drink and plopped it in there. Dom looked kind of worried but mostly calm as he saw what almost happend.
"All clear." One guy said, so Campos gave a signal to the truck driver that was there to open the back. All the drivers for Braga then drove into the truck.
While in the truck, I tried to call my sister, but there was no signal.
"This ain't right, bro. Nobody said nothing about being locked in no truck." One of the guys, Tash, said.
"Tell me about it." His friend said as they both got out of their cars and climbed down to the floor of the truck. They both then stood in front of Dom's car and said, "Hey. Hey! Yo!" to get Dom's attention. "Where you think they're taking us?"
"Don't matter. We're all just along for the ride now." Dom stated with his eyes still closed, while smirking a little.
That night, we ended up in another warehouse.

Nobody's POV
"Welcome to Mexico, boys. There are helicopters and surveillance cameras that scan the heat signatures at the border. But there are blind spots that I can guide you through via satellite. There can be no margin of error, so you must follow my every direction. Any questions?" Gisele states.
Dom and Brian share a few glances and then Dom said, "I thought Fenix was gonna be here."
"He'll meet you out there." Gisele nodded, understanding what he was thinking about. After all, she was the one to pull Letty from the wreckage, but nobody knew that except her, and she vowed to keep it a secret until the day she died because if Fenix knew anything about it, he'd kill her. Gisele then typed a few codes into her phone that was hooked up to all the GPS' and said, "All right, everybody, sync up. Good luck, gentlemen." and as she walked passed Dom she said something in Spanish.
Headed to the direction Gisele was leading them to, the drivers listened to her from the radio.
"Satellite linkup engaged. Keep proceeding northbound at current speed." Just then, Dom saw a car pass him and drive in front of him. "Stay close to Fenix. He'll lead you across." Gisele stated.
Near the border line, cops were watching the area in a building. "I got a heat signature northbound along Legardo Ravine."
"Thermal imaging window on the Mexico sides gonna be down for about 45 seconds. Get the camera on it." One officer states sternly. The other says, "Manual override. Rerouting camera to designated coordinates.
"Hurry it up. You guys have been tagged." Gisele states quickly. Fenix then shifts gears and drives faster, but Dom wanted to go faster and catch up to Fenix so he broke the form.
"Toretto, get back in formation." Gisele says. Fenix then gets pissed as he presses the button to reveal a hidden way into the tunnels. Dom was then forced to get behind Fenix because of the small space. The officers lost track of the heat signature because they were all in the tunnels now, but they did send a helicopter.
"Base, we're 40 seconds out from Legardo Ravine."
"They're sending a helicopter. You have 30 seconds." Gisele said into the radio as the drivers didn't stop.
"North 32' 33', west 116' 49'."
"The window is closing fast. You need to get out of there before they send ground support. Fifteen seconds." Gisele states frantically.
The pilot in the helicopter said, "Base, target is at two miles." and Gisele continued, "You're running out of time. You need to get out of there now!" Just then, all cars made it out of the tunnels and back on the dessert land.
"Base, we're at north 32' 33', west 116' 49'. We have no visual contact. Roll ground units for confirmation."

Brian's POV
We all followed Fenix to what looked like the middle of nowhere. Once we all parked, Fenix got out of the car and yelled, "Sloppy! Very sloppy!"
Dom and I just sat in our cars while this other dude walked up and yelled, "What are you doing, man? Come on, man. Get out! Come on, today, man. Come on, let's go."
Campos' men then started shoving everyone to the front and when Tash asked, "Hey, bro. What's up with your man?" Fenix grabbed his gun and cocked it while pointing it at Tash.
"Hey, boss man." Dom said while flaring his nostrils. Fenix then lowered his gun and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said only pussies run nitrometh." Dom stated calmly. I was getting a little nervous because I knew Dom had something planned, but I didn't know what.
Fenix was getting angrier by the second. "You looked under my hood?" Fenix asked as he was inching towards Dom and when he was about 2 feet in front of him, he stated, "I'm talking to you. Got something on your mind?"
" '70 Plymouth. Her name was Letty. And somebody wrecked her car." Dom said. Fenix was putting the pieces together as he finally said, "I wrecked her car. You remember her face? Huh? 'Cause I don't. Last time I saw it, it was burning."
Tears started rising a little in my eyes, knowing that it was my fault that Letty got into this mess. Fenix then cocked his gun again which made Dom smirk while Fenix asked, "Now what?"
