No Time To Die

Chapter 5 : Come Home

"He told us not to bring you into it." Tej spoke up, and Isabela glanced to him, before moving a bit away from the group as she shook her head, her mind racing. 

"He didn't." Isabela said after a long moment, as she turned back around, Letty sitting in her car. "He wouldn't do that - Especially not to you guys."

"Well, he did." Nathan deadpanned, staying a bit back from the group - but that caused Isabela to send him a sharp glare. 

"Alright, I got his phone records, ya'll." Tej spoke up as he rejoined the group, since they had all basically taken over the garage by now - all their cars parked in there, and Ramsey and Tej's equipment set up on the higher floor of the garage. "It's a whole bunch of calls to untraceable numbers."

"Burner phones, right?" Roman questioned, and Isabela sighed as she turned to them, brushing a hand through her hair again - still not believing everything that they told her.

"Nah. Scrambler." Tej shook his head, "Same number but they got some sort of micro-router to bury the signal path, which means Dom is clearly communicating with somebody that's above our pay grade."

"Look, I don't know Dom as well as you." Ramsey spoke up, leaning against a car with her laptop pulled up in front of her on a tool cart. "But if we just look at the facts..." She stands up and moves a bit away from her things, "Dom's been having highly encrypted conversations with some mysterious person." 

"Watch yourself, English." Isabela sent her a look, but she sympathetically shook her head, leaning against the vehicle near Tej and Roman. "He took out Hobbs. He stole an EMP. Now he's disappeared."

"So, what are you sayin'?" Tej shook his head as he looked to her, so Ramsey nodded. "Maybe we should consider the fact that Hobbs is right. Dom did go rogue."

Even though Isabela wanted to argue, Letty slammed her vehicle door shut - causing the younger girl to quickly move forward. "Letty.." She practically held the woman that helped raise her, back, since she looked like she was about to throw hands with Ramsey. 

Roman helped Isabela keep Letty back, as he nodded. "We're all in this trying to figure it out, okay? We're on the same side."

"You sure about that, Roman?" Letty looked to him, seeing more angry now. Isabela shared a look with Roman, who slowly backed off, as Letty then looked back at Ramsey. "Before you judge the man, remember you're breathing right now because he saved your life."

Then Letty stormed away - shoving Ramsey's shoulder as she did - and Isabela sighed as she closed her eyes, her head dropped as Letty's footsteps faded out as she left the garage. 

"You just gonna let her bump your shoulder like that?" Roman questioned in a low voice, causing Ramsey to give him a look, before she shook her head and moved around him to head to her things, as he rambled. "I'm - I'm just sayin', that... that was a little aggressive."

"Knock it off, Rome." Isabela smacked him in the back of the head, definitely with a lecturing tone in her voice.

"Jeez, Bambi." Roman rubbed his head, before looking over - seeing that Ramsey had gotten back behind her computer, so he couldn't help but comment. "What you gonna do, e-mail her?"

That time Ramsey sent him a look that definitely seemed like she wanted to smack him, before she sighed and looked back at the screen. 

Causing Roman to sarcastically gesture with his hand, "Check."

"Guess anger's just going around." Nathan commented from where he was sitting on the hood of a car, causing Isabela to click her jaw as she looked to him. "Keep it up if you want to get backhanded."
