𝑻𝑯𝑬 team sped along in their brightly colored cars towards the city of Abu Dhabi. Desert surrounded them and they could already feel the heat. They pulled their cars to a stop, all parked in a line. Oliver got out of his bright green car and let out a sigh as the heat hit him full force. The team started making their way towards the beach. Once they were situated under the shade, Roman began talking.
"You know, it's hotter than I thought it would be." Roman commented
Tej glanced at him.
"Yeah, well, we are in the desert, so it would be hot." Tej sassed
"Oh, no, I ain't talking about the weather." Roman said
He and Tej watched as Ramsey walked out of the ocean. Oliver rolled his eyes.
"My, my, my." Roman mumbled
Tej nodded to himself.
"Now that is a woman that's worth falling out a plane for." Tej agreed
"Get out of there, man. I got dibs on that. You see me looking at that." Roman said
Lola furrowed her eyebrows from her place seated on Brian's lap.
"Did you just say 'dibs'? What, are you in the fourth grade?" Lola asked
Letty walked up behind Tej and Roman's chairs as Roman looked at Tej.
"Man, can you just get out of there?" Roman asked
"Man, it's a free market." Tej argued
"What are you talking about? Get out of there." Roman said
Tej looked at him seriously.
"Free. Rock, paper, scissors for it." Tej said
Letty leaned her arms on the back of their chairs as they started a game of rock, paper, scissors and she gave them a look.
"Are you guys for real right now? Look at you. You both look whupped already. You got stalker eyes." Letty said
Lola, Brian, and Oliver laughed at the two from where they were sitting.
"I tried to call dibs on Ramsey two years ago." A voice said
A man walked over to them.
"Her knee, my balls-- trust me, you don't wanna do that." The man warned
Oliver raised an eyebrow, wondering who the man was.
"Hey! Ramsey!" The man called
Ramsey walked over to the group. She put her shirt back on as she walked up the few steps.
"Hello, Safar." Ramsey said
She greeted the man with a hug.
"I see you've made some new friends." Safar said
Ramsey glanced behind her at them.
"Yes, some short-tempered new friends. I need the speed drive I sent you. Where is it?" Ramsey asked
Safar took off his sunglasses as he nodded.
"Oh, good. You will be pleased to know I sold it." Safar said
"You sold it?" Ramsey repeated
Safar clicked his tongue. Lola looked over at her brother.
"You hear that?" Lola asked
"I asked you to take care of it. Why on earth would you sell it?" Ramsey snapped
Dom walked over to Ramsey and Safar.
"We're gonna need it back." Dom said
Safar looked to him as he shook his head.
"Impossible." Safar said
"Safar, I-- I stashed something inside it. It's important." Ramsey said
Safar nodded.
"Okay. Okay. Uh, good news. It is safe." Safar said
"And the bad news?" Ramsey asked
"It is very safe." Safar said
🏎
The group now stood on the other side of the beach, looking at the three tallest buildings in front of them.
"I sold it to a Jordanian prince living up there, a trust fund billionaire. Said he wanted to use it for his supercar." Safar informed
Roman looked at Dom.
"Now see, this? This I like. Billionaire, supercar..." Roman started
"What makes it so super?" Ramsey questioned
Safar glanced back at her.
"242 mile per hour top speed." Safar said
He chuckled.
"And it's bulletproof." Safar added
"242? Am I the only one aroused right now? It's like-- you know what I'm saying? Whoo-hoo." Roman said
Lola gave him a look.
"Yes, Rome, you are, you weirdo." Lola said
Roman gave Lola a look.
"Whatever." Roman mumbled
"Where does he keep it?" Dom asked Safar
Safar gestured to the towers.
"In his penthouse. Tower number one." Safar said
"Now, why in the hell would he keep his car in his penthouse?" Tej asked
"That's what I'm wondering." Oliver said
Safar looked back at the two men.
"He's a billionaire, my friends. He can do whatever he wants. Now, tomorrow happens to be the longest day of the year. The prince wants to celebrate it , host a party tomorrow afternoon." Safar said
"So, you can get us up there, right?" Brian asked
Safar nodded.
"Sure, but, uh... not dressed like that." Safar said
