"This is crazy. We are not in Brazil." Roman said as he shook his head at both his and Tej's destroyed cars. "So, now we got cars flying in the air?" He looked towards Gisele who was sat on the hood of her car, Han was beside her. "On some 007-type shit? This is not what we do!"
"Man, you really got to check that emotion." Tej shook his head at Roman, as Luca and Brielle walked in, Brielle standing beside Tej, "Your voice just went from Shaggy to Scooby-Doo. 'This is not what we roo-roo'." Tej mimics a dog, making the other four laugh as Roman stands there looking unimpressed.
"See, man, when a woman starts shootin' at you, that's a clear sign to back the fuck off!" Tej just rubbed his head, so Roman turned to look at the others, "We need to get the hell out of dodge!" He pointed to his car, that was destroyed and had some bullet holes, "That could've been my forehead, man."
"Nah." Tej shook his head, "That's not as big as your forehead." Brielle burst out laughing, fist bumping Tej as she watched Roman's expression.
Brielle and Luca walked away, Luca turning to Brielle, who was still chuckling, "Is this how you guys were back in Rio?" Brielle looked at him and shrugged, "Umm.. yeah. But with a lot more driving."
Luca didn't say anything just nodded slightly as he stopped to go talk to Hobbs, Brielle carrying on walking over to where Dom and Brian were, "She definitely saw it was you?" Dom pressed a bandage to his shoulder, "She looked dead at me, Brian."
Brielle shook her head slightly, sighing before leaning on the table, as Brian spoke up once more, "Maybe the Letty we once knew is gone, Dom. Even though she's alive, maybe she's gone."
"You don't turn your back on family. Even when they do." Dom said glancing between the two of them, Brielle giving him a small smile, before walking over to him, holding a bandage, thread and a needle, "Come on, let me help you with that."

"Ivory!" Letty says before chucking him the keys to her car, which he catches, "It's going to need some repairs." "No problem, treacle." Ivory responds before the two walk over to the others, Owen speaking up, looking at Letty, "Are you good?" "Yeah."
"Okay, listen up." Owen turns to face everyone as they gather around the table in the middle, "That was a very different breed from Hobbs' usual wannabe warriors. We need to learn who these people are, what they're made of. Vegh?" Vegh brings over the files, opening them with Brian's being on the top.
"O'Conner. Parker. Pearce. Toretto. Gonzalez. And the rest of the team." Vegh says as she throws the files on the table, everyone taking a file to look through.
"These guys are common criminals." Ivory says as he flips through Tej's file.
"Tonight these common criminals were seconds away from taking us down. Show them the respect they deserve or it weakens us." Owen replies as he flips through Brian's file.
"You might want to see these." Jah says handing two pictures to Owen.
The first picture is a close up picture of Dom with Letty on his lap, and the second picture being of the original team back in Los Angeles, with Brian giving Brielle a piggy back.
"Ring any bells?" Owen asks Letty as he sets the pictures down to where she could see them. Letty glances around the room before picking them up and analysing them, "Yeah. That's the guy I shot." "You look happy." Owen states trying to get a reaction, "I don't remember him."
"That's bullshit." Klaus speaks up making Letty look at him. "We got a problem guys. We got a picture of her with the guy who almost took you out."
"Klaus, aren't you team muscle?" Letty glares at him, "Don't make me go over there and make you team pussy."
"She doesn't remember him." Owen stops anything from escalating further, "Names and records aren't enough. I want personal information. Get into their lives, into their minds. Find their weaknesses, and we exploit them." Everyone nods, and walks away leaving Letty staring at the picture of her and Dom. But Owen remains around the corner watching her, before emerging after watching her walk away.
He walks over to the files and picks up the picture of the original team, he takes a closer look at Brielle on Brian's back and things start forming in his mind. He quickly puts the picture down and starts searching through all the files, pausing when her reaches Brielle's.
His eyes scan the page and her photo before, he scoffs and puts the file down on the table, placing his hands on the edge and leaning against it. "You can change your name. But you can't hide, Brielle."

"Mm-mm. Yeah, right." Roman picks up a candy bar from the smashed vending machine and moved over to the screens displaying Shaw's crew. "This is crazy, man."
"What are you talkin' about now?" Tej looks up from his computer set up, Brielle sat next to him, smiling at the two, as Roman pointed at the screens, "I'm sittin' here lookin' at these images. It's like we're hunting our evil twins." Then he gestured towards the first picture, a guy named Ivory, "Look at this black dude right here, he's handsome. Clearly that's me." He moved onto the next photo, Klaus. "We got a white Hobbs." Then Jah. "This is Han." Then another, "Tej, it's an African in a beanie, that's like your mini-me, man." Then gestured towards Vegh, "Hey, Brian! When did you do this photo shoot?"
Brian laughed sarcastically before giving him the middle finger, as Roman added, "I'm just playin', man. You know you're the prettiest blonde around."
He moved on to the photo of Owen, "Oh, Brie, why does he look lik-"
"Alright, lock it up! We got two things." Hobbs got out of the armored vehicle he had arrived in, Roman completely forgetting what he was about to say and Brielle grateful he was interrupted.
As Hobbs, Riley and Luca made their way over to the group, Hobbs continued, "First off, this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime. They got cameras on every street corner. I got video footage from CCTV of the raid." He handed Tej something, "Let's track that. See where it leads us."
Then he stepped up to the table, Brian and Dom joining them at the same time, "And secondly, we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol. They ripped off the database of every location that houses the final component that they need."
"So where they at?" Brian asked, so Luca spoke up, "There are over two dozen of them around Europe. But the list is only good for 96 hours."
"Exactly. Which means, wherever Shaw's crew is gonna hit next, it's gonna happen within the next four days. They got a window, and so do we. We gotta move." Hobbs added.
"Hobbs is right." Dom said, leaning against the table, "So let's break this down. You met 'em. What do we know?"
"We know they have to be runnin' custom engines." Tej looked over to Dom, with a nod. "You heard that flip car going through those gears."
"Sequential transmission." Han added, before Gisele spoke up, "That didn't sound like a normal engine."
"That was turbo diesel." Both Brian and Brielle spoke at the same time, the two looking at each other before Brian continued, "It sounded like something you hear at Le Mans."
"Did you see it take all those hits and still stay flat in corners?" Tej asked the group, Roman nodded, "Yeah, hydraulics."
"Or magnetic suspension." Brian added, the team was too busy discussing the cars that they missed the look Hobbs gave Luca and Riley, Luca nodded looking impressed as did Riley who was skeptical about the criminals at first.
Han shook his head, "But who not only has access to the components, but can fabricate something like that?"
"A handful of shops in London do." Brielle stated, a few in mind, as Dom adds, "Regular tuner shops aren't going to cut it on this one. We're gonna have to dig deeper than that. Han, Gisele, Roman, you're up. We find the guy who made that car, we find Shaw."
Gisele picked up her gun and nodded at the boys, "Let's go."
"I'll help." Riley glanced over to Hobbs, who nodded, "Roger that."
Dom then moved his focus to Tej, "Tej, we're gonna need cars without computer chips that can be overridden. Make sure they're fast."
"I got this." Tej smiles but pauses on Hobbs' words, "I'm already on it, Dom. I've contacted R&D at DSS."
"Hobbs." Tej called over, making him glance over to Tej, "I said I got this."
Hobbs raised his eyebrows as Brielle shared an amused look with Dom and Brian. "This should be interesting."
