Alex had just finished grabbing a load of clothes from the dryer when she heard an annoying beeping sound. Furrowing her brows, she set the basket of clothes down on the couch and began searching for the source of the noise. She spotted the GPS that Campos had given her. Each driver had one. Whenever it went off, the drivers needed to stop what they were doing and go where it tells them to, regardless of the time and/or place. She picked it up off of her kitchen table. On the small screen it said 'Downloading Correct Coordinates'.
Quickly, Alex grabbed her keys and a jacket. She exited her home and got into her car. The GPS had finally finished downloading and the route was now on the screen. Putting the car in drive, Alex drove off, following the directions. It led her to a large warehouse that almost looked abandoned. She felt nervous. What if Dom isn't here? What if this is some type of set up or something? She swallowed hard. She had been parked outside of the warehouse for a minute now, too nervous to go inside. A man walked outside and pressed a button, a large garage door opening. He motioned for her to come this way. She nodded at him and slowly drove towards the garage door.
Once she was finally inside, he told her to park next to the other cars that were there and wait until Campos gave them instructions on what to do next. She did as she was told. Alex let out a sigh of relief when she spotted Dom's car. She noticed a huge semi-truck that belonged to a local furniture company was also in the warehouse. She wondered what that would be used for, if anything. As her eyes scanned the area, she spotted Brian. It wasn't surprising to see him here but it still made her heart skip a beat every time she saw him. One of Campos's men began to inspect each car, making sure there wasn't anything that wasn't supposed to be there, like a tracker.
Brian realized what was happening and started to panic. He needed to take the tracker out of his car. His boss wouldn't be okay with this but it was either take the tracker out or possibly get shot. Brian fumbled with the tracker, trying to pull it out. He was thankful it was near the gear so no one could see what he was doing. Finally, it came loose and he dropped the tracker into a half empty can of pop he had sitting in the cup holder. He did it just in enough time for the man to come over and inspect his car. That was a close one.
"All clear!" The man yelled after finishing up his inspections. Campos smiled then pointed over to the semi-truck.
"You ever been to Mexico before?" Campos asked, the smile still plastered on his face. Before each car was loaded into the semi, duffel bags were placed in their trunks.
This is going to be a long drive.
Many hours later, the semi-truck finally stopped. Alex was in desperate need to stretch her legs. She had been stuck in her car for so long. After each of the cars were unloaded from the semi, each driver stood next to their car, waiting. Gisele walked up to them, a smile on her face.
"Welcome to Mexico, boys," Gisele said, then looked at Alex, "And lady." Alex smiled at her. "There are helicopters and surveillance cameras that scan for heat signatures at the boarder but there are blind spots that I can get you through via satellite. There can be no margin of error so you must follow my every direction. Any questions?" She explained, her eyes scanning each of the drivers.
"I thought Fenix was going to be here?" Dom asked Gisele. She looked at him, curious as to why that's what he was worried about.
"He'll meet you out there," Gisele responded then looked down at the GPS device she held in her hands. She started typing the coordinates into it. Once she was finished, she looked back at everyone. "Alright, everybody sync up. Good luck." Alex grabbed her GPS from the pocket of her jacket and pressed a button, syncing her GPS to everyone else's. She glanced over at Brian. He had barely acknowledged her existence since they had been there. Usually when they're together in the same place he can't take his eyes off of her. Alex wondered what changed. She didn't have time to worry about that right now though.
The drivers had to manuver their way through a series of underground tunnels to smuggle Braga's drugs back into the United States without being detected. The tunnels were tight, dark and completely unsafe. It looked like they were just waiting to collapse at any given moment. Fenix ended up meeting the drivers about halfway through the tunnels. When they finally exited them, the drivers had to follow Fenix to a secluded field. They were instructed to park their cars. Alex knew that it was drugs and she felt guilty for participating in a drug smuggling but she knew that at the end of this, Brian would probably have all of these drug dealers and smugglers arrested.
"Sloppy, very sloppy," Fenix told them in a disappointed tone. He wasn't happy with the way that it had gone down, but at least they had gotten the job done. One of the many armed men who were surrounding the area instructed the drivers to exit their cars. The men immediately walked over to the cars and took out the bags from the trunks. Alex felt uneasy. The driving part was fine but she didn't feel too safe having men with AK-47's waltzing around her, not knowing their intentions. If she had a gun too she might not be so anxious but she felt vulnerable.
One of the drivers made a snarky comment to Fenix which was a very bad idea on his part. Fenix, who was already irritated, didn't have the patience to deal with this. He whipped his hand gun from the back of his pants and aimed it at the driver's head. The driver put his hands up in defense, a terrified look on his face. Alex froze. Was he really about to put a bullet in this guys head in front of all these people?
Slowly, the driver backed away and Fenix lowered his gun. Dom gently grabbed Alex's arm and moved her as far away from his car as he could. She was confused, but didn't fight it. What she didn't know is that Dom had unscrewed a nozzle on the NOS tanks he had inside his car. He also shoved something in cigarette lighter socket so that way his car would explode and cause a scene and he would finally be able to get his revenge on Fenix. He hadn't told Alex about Fenix being responsible for Letty's death. He didn't know how she would react and he didn't want to take any chances.
"Stay here," Dom whispered to his sister. He had made her stand near Brian. She would have to yell at him later for this. Dom then took a few steps towards Fenix. Brian and Alex shared a glance. Brian's plan of staying away from Alex wasn't really working out too well. "Yo boss man. Only pussies run nitro meth," Dom said to Fenix. Fenix was taken aback by his words.
"You looked under my hood?" Fenix asked, practically fuming at this point. Everyone stopped what they were doing as Fenix slowly approached Dom, waiting for what was going to happen next. Alex was beginning to put the pieces together. The only way that Dom would do something this risky is if he had a good reason to. Fenix had to be the one who killed Letty. She clenched her jaw tightly, sadness and rage flowing through her veins as she stared at the man who killed her friend. She balled her hands into fists. "I'm talkin' to you. You got something on your mind?" A stone cold expression was spread across Dom's face.
"Seventies Plymouth. Her name was Letty.. and somebody wrecked her car," Dom spoke calmly, even though he felt the complete opposite way. Alex could feel her heart pound against her chest.
"I wrecked her car," Fenix admitted. Alex's eyes went wide. "Remember her face? Huh? Cause I don't even remember her face. Last time I saw it, it was burning." Alex went to lunge forward to beat the shit out of Fenix, but Brian's hand shot out and he held her back. She could hear the sound of the safety being taken off a gun and she froze again. She looked down at the gun still in Fenix's hand, then back up at Dom. No.
Before any of the drivers had time to process what was happening, Dom's car exploded, causing each of the other cars that were lined up next to it to do the same. The drivers were all knocked to the ground from the explosion. Dom and Fenix had been far enough away from the blast to remain standing but everyone else wasn't so lucky. Dom threw a hard punch at Fenix while he was distracted from the fire, then he quickly smacked the gun out of his hands, disarming him.
Alex winced in pain. She tried to get up but suddenly a body covering her own. It was Brian. She jumped as she heard gun shots. Her hands flew up to her head, trying to protect it as best as she could.
"Stay down!" Brian yelled to her. He was using his body to shield hers in case any stray bullets came flying. He spotted a gun from one of Campos's henchmen laying on the ground nearby. "Stay there and stay down!" Brian quickly crawled over and grabbed the gun, immediately firing off rounds at the people who were trying to shoot Dom.
"What the fuck is happening?!"
