"Just don't cheat this time." Brian said sternly and Jade laughed at the memory. 

"Got to let that go." Dom shook his head.

Jade reached her hand out for the radio and brought it up to her lips. "Okay if I die right now, the first person I'm coming back to kill is Roman, then Han and then Brian."

"What!" Roman exclaimed while Han just looked at her offended.

Brian glanced over to the brunette. "Why not Dom?"

"Cause he's the one paying me, estúpido." Jade rolled her eyes before looking back at the road in front of her. [stupid]

Just before the light shifted to green, Roman drove off. Typical Roman. Roman and Brian were in front, the cars parked on the side of the streets, causing them to zigzag between each other. Brian and Roman went too wide, Dom passing them. Jade looked out the back windscreen to see Roman was now in the back. 

Brian and Dom were now neck and neck, the former trying to overtake Dom. Just before they reached the quarter-mile mark, Dom pulled back a little letting Brian win. A genuine smile plastered across the brunette's face as she turned to her husband with a raised eyebrow. He only shrugged at her, a small smile on his lips. 

"Good race, O'Connor." Dom complimented him as himself and Jade got out of the car once they pulled into the warehouse.

"Thanks, Dom," Brian replied and Dom walked off, Jade standing beside Brian. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for that shit?" He and Roman did their bro shake.

Han looked between Roman and Jade. "Told you he didn't see it."

The smile on Roman's face dropped as he motioned toward Dom. "Your man right there? He let off the throttle at the line. You didn't do nothing. He let you win."

"Bullshit." Brian called his bluff as Roman and Han walked off. He quickly turned to face Jade who was fighting to keep the smile off her lips. "That's bullshit right Jade?" The brunette started to make her way towards the others. "Jade? J?"

Jade was quick to spot Mia walking into the warehouse after she went to buy groceries with Vince trailing behind her. Brian spotted him just as quick and angrily approached him. Mia placed her hands on his chest, preventing him from attacking Vince as Roman stood behind them, not knowing whether Vince was a threat or not. "It's okay. Wait. Reyes' guys were waiting for me at the market. Vince saved my life."

Vince nodded his head at Brian and Roman backed off a little just as Dom spoke up. "You hungry?"

"Yeah, sure." Vince replied as Jade crossed her arms over her chest.

"Good," Dom looked toward him. "'Cause you're saying grace."

Brian held his hand out for Vince to shake. "Thanks, Vince."

Jade moved closer to the group, her eyebrows raised. "Vince is always hungry." 

"You know I gotta eat." Vince smiled at her. Jade cracked a grin and brought him in for a hug and Vince lifted her off her feet in a bear hug.

Jade was now sat on the sofa in between Han and Tej, Roman seated on the coffee table in front of them as Rico and Tego cooked the meat. Well burned it. "Yo, you burned it." Rico said as he stood beside Tego.
