LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
"I'm all for winging it, but this is crazy, man," Rome complains as the team looks out at the city of Los Angeles. "We got mercenaries with some real heat on us. I mean, I ain't scared or nothing, but... Man, I don't even have a gun!"
"Gun?" Andrea asks as she looks at Rome. "We got a whole city."
"And we may have more than that. If they use God's Eye, it'll tap the cameras around the town to find our location. Which means we could plant a virus," Tej explains causing Ramsey to nod in agreement.
"And then break in when they access it," Ramsey says in agreement. "So you're talking about hacking my hacking device. It's brilliant."
"Yeah, but there's one problem," Tej says with a sigh. "The signal strength. We can't start a hack on them until they're within a two mile range."
"That's really close," Letty states as she looks at Tej.
"Close?" Rome asks her. "These guys are military. If they're within two miles of us, we're already dead. I don't know about y'all, but I didn't really plan on dying today."
"Only one way to stay alive," Brian suggests. "We play keep away with Ramsey."
"What?" Ramsey asks confused.
"They can't hit us if we keep moving," Brian explains.
"And I'll take Shaw," Dom tells them as he steps forward.
"So, basically, we're just gearing up for a big game of hot potato, huh?" Tej asks causing Ramsey to look at him confused.
"Which car is the potato?" Ramsey asks him.
"Girl, you're the potato," Rome answers her as Andrea looks out at the city. Rome walks over to Andrea.
"Why does it feel like I'm not gonna see you again?" Rome asks causing Andrea to look at him.
"I'll come back for you," Andrea tells him before she kisses him.
"Promise?" Rome asks her as they pull apart.
"Promise," Andrea answers him before she walks away from him.
Ramsey is riding with Andrea and Brian as they are followed by Letty, who is followed by Rome and Tej.
"I don't know why we gotta keep driving around like this," Rome says as he drives, while Tej is in the back on his computer. "Why can't we just pull over somewhere, park, gather our thoughts in, like, a bunker somewhere?"
"Because it does not work like that," Tej answers him. "We gotta stick close enough to the bad guys in order to get in range for Ramsey to hack them. But we gotta be mobile enough not to get shot like fish in a barrel. So, do me a favor, focus on the mission and keep us from getting killed." Tej looks out the window as he hears a helicopter. "Guys, they're here."
"How many cars?" Letty asks him over the walkie.
"Uh, none," Tej answers her. "And that's kind of the problem."
"Okay, lets give them the tour," Brian orders over the walkie. "Break on my mark. Three, two, one. Go!" Rome turns left while Letty turns right with Andrea still going straight.
"They're in range," Tej says as he types on his computer before grabbing the walkie. "Ramsey, start the hack."
"Initiating," Ramsey responds as she starts typing on her computer. "Now." Andrea starts driving over a bridge. "I think we lost the chopper." The traffic splits in front of them to reveal a drone.
"I think we got bigger problems than that!" Brian tells her as he sees the drone.
"Oh, my God," Ramsey says as she sees it as well. Andrea drops the car. "What are you doing?"
"We're going old school!" Andrea answers her before driving underneath the semi truck beside them into oncoming traffic causing Andrea to have to go back under the truck. Andrea drives under the truck until the drone starts firing at the truck causing the driver to hit the breaks causing the trailer to swing around. Andrea stays under the trailer until the drone starts shooting at them. Andrea drives out from under the trailer as all of the pipes fall off of the trailer. The drone chases after them.
"It's coming back around," Ramsey says as Andrea drives through the city. A cop starts chasing after Andrea.
"Oh shit," Andrea says as she dodges a missile from the drone that takes out the cop car. "Football's hot! I need to lateral! Rome, where are you?"
"Running back charging in!" Rome answers her.
"Meet us on Third and Spring," Brian orders Rome.
"You got it," Rome tells him.
"I'm halfway there," Ramsey says as she types on her computer.
"Grab your computer! Get in the window!" Brian orders her.
"Why?" Ramsey asks him.
"Do it! Now!" Andrea tells her. "You gotta go! Right now!" Ramsey gets into the window as Andrea pulls her emergency break, spinning around causing smoke to fly while Rome does the same thing. Rome and Andrea pass each other while Tej pulls Ramsey into their car. Andrea and Brian jump from their car before a missile hits it.
"They made it!" Tej cheers as Brian and Andrea run off of the street. "I can't believe we pulled that off."
"Wait. What happened? We were almost there," Ramsey asks as her computer shows signal lost. "They've cut the signal! I can't finish the hack!"
"What do you mean?" Rome asks as Tej types quickly on his computer.
"Brian, Andy, they took out the tower!" Tej says over the walkie.
"There has to be another way," Ramsey says as she types on her computer.
"Will a cell tower work?" Andrea asks as she looks around.
"Wait, she's right. I'm seeing half a dozen cell towers between Sixth and State," Tej says as he stops typing on his computer before grabbing the walkie. "Andy, Brian, if you can get to the top of any one of those buildings around there, we can reroute the signal manually and finish the job."
"We're on it," Brian says as they run down the street.
"Them boys is on us," Rome says as they start being chased by several cops.
"Man, them boys ain't ready for this!" Tej says as he shakes his head.
"Shit!" Rome yells as the drone blows up a car in front of them. "First the tank, then the plane. Now we got a spaceship?"
"That's not a spaceship, that's a drone!" Tej corrects him.
"Oh, it's a drone? Now, you gonna break it down and be articulate like you already know what the hell is going on?" Rome complains as he drives.
"Shut your ass up and drive the car," Tej yells at him before trying to drive from the back seat.
"Letty the football's on fire. We need help!" Rome says over the walkie.
"Hang on! I'm coming!" Letty answers him.
"Ramsey, get ready to go again!" Rome orders her before they all three jump out of the car as they drive under a overpass. Ramsey quickly gets into Letty's car before she takes off. "Gotta get out of here. It's on your trail and it's coming fast."
"Got it," Letty tells him.
"So, if this car goes down, who's coming to save us?" Ramsey asks Letty, panicked.
"Save us, honey? We're it," Letty answers her with a slight chuckle.
