𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 night Letty, Leon, Vince, Lola, Oliver, and Dom were getting ready to leave to take a truck when Mia came over and started arguing with Dom.
"I have respected you and I haven't said shit, and now I am asking you not to go." Mia said
"Mia, I'm doing this for the both of us and Lola." Dom said
"No, don't give me that crap. You're doing this for you." Mia said
"Why are you asking me to stay?" Dom asked
"Why are you insisting on doing this? Dom, please, just don't." Mia begged
Oliver refused to look at Mia, knowing if he did he would stay. But he needed the money, he wanted to give himself and Mia a better life. The team got into the cars and left.
🏎
The team pulled up to where they had their cars stashed. They started taking the tarps off the cars.
"All right, we're one man short. Letty, I need you on the left side. Lola you're with her." Dom instructed
"Your sister's right about this one. This don't feel good." Leon said
He gave the harpoon gun to Dom.
"Don't do that." Dom said
"Something's wrong." Letty said
She brought over the other harpoon gun.
"Stop." Dom ordered
"We shouldn't be doing this without Jesse." Lola argued
"Look, this is the mother lode. We've been on this for three months. After this, it's a long vacation for everyone. Let's go." Dom said
"I hope so." Leon said
He went over to get in his car. Vince and Oliver got into Dom's car. Dom walked over to Letty while Lola got into the passenger seat.
"Leon, keep on those scanners." Dom said
He walked over to his car.
"Copy that." Leon said
"All right, let's go." Dom said
They got in the cars and took off.
🏎
The team finally caught up to the truck. Inside the car, Oliver and Vince put on their helmets to hide their identities.
"𝑶𝒌𝒂𝒚! 𝑮𝒐 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆!" Dom said over the walkie
He pulled in front of the truck. Oliver stood through the sunroof and shot out the glass of the truck.
"𝑾𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅, 𝒎𝒂𝒏. 𝑰 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔. 𝑲𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈." Leon said over the walkie
Vince stood through the sunroof and shot a second harpoon. It attached to the seat in the truck and Vince connected the wire to his belt. Vince jumped onto the truck. Oliver looked out his side mirror and saw the truck driver pulling out a shotgun.
"Vince!" Oliver yelled
Vince didn't hear Oliver.
"Vince, don't! Get back in!" Oliver yelled
Vince jumped onto the truck.
"Vince!" Dom yelled
The truck driver shot at Vince. Oliver looked at Dom in fear.
"𝑯𝒆'𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒈𝒖𝒏! 𝑳𝒆𝒐𝒏!" Dom said over the walkie
"𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇𝒇! 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇𝒇! 𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆!" Leon said over the walkie
Vince pulled his helmet off as Dom tried to get closer.
"Oh, shit!" Dom said
The truck driver shot at Vince again. Dom tried to get closer to Vince.
"Get me off this thing! Pull up!" Vince yelled
"Un--" Dom started
"Pull up, I'll jump!" Vince yelled
"Unhook-- Unhook yourself. Do it! Do it!" Dom yelled
He reached out the window attempting to grab Vince's hand.
"I can't get..." Vince started
"You can do it! Come on, Vince!" Dom yelled
The driver shot out his rear light and Dom lost control of the car for a second.
"𝑫𝒐𝒎! 𝑰'𝒎 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎!" Letty said over the walkie
Letty drove in front of the truck on the left side. The driver shot the back window out and Letty pulled the car back.
"Take me off here or I'm gonna unhook the wire!" Vince yelled
"Try it again. One, two, three!" Dom yelled
The driver slammed on the brakes which caused Vince to swing around to the side of the truck. The driver quickly sped up which threw Vince around causing his arm to get tangled in the wire.
"Unhook yourself!" Oliver yelled
"I can't get my arm free!" Vince yelled
"Vince, grab my hand!" Dom yelled
"My arm!" Vince cried
"Listen, give me your hand. I'm gonna pull you off the rig." Dom ordered
The driver shot at Vince again.
"Vince!" Oliver yelled
"Dominic, Oliver!" Vince cried
"Hold on! Give me your hand! Listen to me!" Dom yelled
"Dominic! Oliver!" Vince yelled
The driver shot at Vince, then shot Dom's front tire out.
"Dominic! Oliver!" Vince yelled
"Shit!" Oliver exclaimed
"Dominic! Oliver!" Vince yelled
"Hang on!" Dom yelled
He tried to control his car.
"𝑫𝒐𝒎! 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎." Letty said over the walkie
She pulled up on the left side before sliding under the truck and coming out on the right side. Letty went to pull up beside Vince but the driver swerved into her causing the tires to hit. This sent Letty's car into the ditch causing it to flip three times before it landed upside down.
"Letty! Lola!" Dom and Oliver yelled
Oliver grabbed Dom's walkie.
"𝑳𝒆𝒐𝒏!" Oliver called over the walkie
"𝒀𝒐!" Leon said over the walkie
"𝑷𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒍𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚. 𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆." Oliver said over the walkie
"𝑰'𝒎 𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒕! 𝑮𝒐! 𝑰'𝒗𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝑽𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒌." Leon said over the walkie
Dom's tires were sparking as he was trying to get closer to Vince. The driver shot Vince, this time not missing.
"Vince!" Dom yelled
Vince grabbed his side in pain.
"Dominic! Oliver!" Vince yelled
"Vince!" Dom and Oliver yelled
Dom was forced to pull over as he was losing control of the car.
"Shit!" Oliver exclaimed
The two got out of the car and saw Brian's car speeding past them. Leon drove up to the two and they got into the car. Leon drove off to where Brian's car was.
"V!" Dom yelled
Leon pulled up to where Brian, Mia, and Vince are. Everyone got out of the car, except for Letty who was in too much pain.
"Oh, shit." Oliver said
Dom poked his head through the window and looked back at Letty.
"It's gonna be okay, Letty. I love you." Dom said
He held her cheek before turning to Leon.
"Watch her." Dom ordered
"Yeah, I got her." Leon said
Dom, Oliver, and Lola rushed over to where Brian and Mia were trying to help Vince. Dom dropped beside Mia and took her place putting pressure on the gunshot wound. Lola quickly switched places with Mia, who quickly ran into Oliver's embrace.
"If we don't get him to an ambulance in ten minutes, he's dead." Brian said
Mia hid her face in Oliver's chest as he rubbed her back.
"Hold this. Hold the pressure." Brian ordered
"I got it." Lola said
"Just like that. Don't let go. Hold his arm up." Brian instructed
"Vince." Lola cried
Vince gasped for breath as Brian pulled out his phone.
"Yeah. Yeah, this is Officer Brian O'Connor." Brian said
Oliver stared at Brian in shock. His brother was here the whole time and he didn't even realize it. Dom looked up at Brian, his whole demeanor tense. Brian held eye contact with Dom as he continued talking on the phone.
"I'm off-duty M.A.P.D. I need a Life Flight roll out right away." Brian said
Dom's face grew darker as Brian continued his conversation.
"My 20 is, uh, Highway 86, mile marker 147. I've got one trauma victim, about 24 years of age. Six foot, maybe 200 pounds. He's got a deep laceration to his right arm with arterial bleeding." Brian said
Dom turned his head to his sister, who rapidly shook her head.
"And he's got a--a shotgun wound. Close range to his left flank. Yeah. Yeah, and he's going into shock." Brian said
Dom focused back on Vince. After a few minutes, EMTs arrived and loaded Vince onto a helicopter. Brain helped the paramedics bring Vince onto the helicopter as Lola, Oliver, Mia, and Dom watched from a short distance. The wind blew Lola's hair around her as she ran a hand through it, trying to keep it tame. Dom walked past her and gave her a warning look as he made his way back to the car with Mia and Oliver following.
"Lola!" Dom called
The brunette turned her head around and saw Dom standing by the car, ushering her to hurry forward. She started running towards the car as Dom narrowed his eyes at her. Lola climbed into the backseat, sitting beside Letty and Oliver, who had Mia on his lap. The car was silent as Dom slammed the door behind him, Leon driving off.
