ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

"It's hotter than I thought it would be," Rome states as he and Tej look out at the water.
"Yeah, well, we are in the desert, so it would be hot," Tej retorts as he looks around the beach.
"Oh, no, I ain't talking about the weather," Rome says as Ramsey walks out of the water. "My, my, my."
"Now, that is a woman that's worth falling out a plane for," Tej says as they watch Ramsey grab a towel.
"Get out of there, man, I got dibs on that," Rome says with a shake of his head. "You've seen me looking at that."
"Did you just say 'dibs'?" Tej asks Rome. "What are you, in the fourth grade?"
"Man, can you just get out of there?" Rome asks him back.
"I mean, it's a free market," Tej tells him.
"What are you talking about? Get out of there," Rome argues with him.
"Rock, paper, scissors for her," Tej says as he holds up his fist.
"Are you guys for real right now?" Letty asks them as Rome holds his fist up as well before he wins. "Look at you. You both look whupped already. You got stalker eyes." Brian lets out a laugh while Dom stands up with a smile on his face.
"I tried to call dibs on Ramsey two years ago," A man says as he walks up to them. "Her knee, my balls. Trust me, you don't wanna do that." Ramsey starts walking over to them. "Hey! Ramsey!"
"Hello, Safar," Ramsey says before they hug.
"I see you make some new friends," Safar says as he looks at everyone.
"Yeah, some short-tempered new friends," Ramsey says in agreement. "I need the speed drive I sent you. Where is it?"
"Oh, good. You will be pleased to know I sold it," Safar answers her.
"You sold it?" Ramsey asks him in disbelief.
"You hear that?" Letty asks Dom, who turns to face them.
"I asked you to take care of it," Ramsey tells Safar. "Why on Earth would you sell it?"
"We're gonna need it back," Dom says as he walks over to Ramsey and Safar.
"Impossible," Safar tells him.
"Safar, I stashed something inside it. It's important," Ramsey explains to him.
"Okay, okay," Safar tries to calm her down. "Uh, good news. It is safe."
"And the bad news?" Ramsey asks with a sigh.
"It is very safe," Safar answers her, before leading them to where they can see three tall buildings. "I sold it to a Jordanian prince living up there. Trust fund billionaire. Said he wanted to use it for his supercar."
"Now, see, this? This, I like," Rome says with a smile. "Billionaire, supercar..."
"What makes it so super?" Ramsey asks.
"242 miles per hour, top speed," Safar answers her. "And it's bulletproof."
"242..." Rome says as he looks at Safar excitedly. "Am I the only one aroused right now? It's, like, you know what I'm saying?" No one laughs or smiles with Rome. "Whatever."
"Where does he keep it?" Dom asks Safar.
"In his penthouse. Tower number one," Safar answers as he points to the tower.
"Now, why in the hell would he keep his car in his penthouse?" Tej asks.
"He's a billionaire, my friend," Safar answers him with a smirk. "He can do whatever he wants. Now, tomorrow happens to be the longest day of the year. The prince wants to celebrate it and host a party tomorrow afternoon."
"So you can get us up there, right?" Brian asks Safar.
"Sure," Safar answers him. "But, uh, not dressed like that."
