It's Gonna Be Fun

Chapter 3 - Diversions & Betrayals

"Are you okay?" I asked Dom the day we're supposed to head out.

Ever since we arrived, I've noticed that he's acting a little odd. More withdrawn than normal, his eyes flitting black and forth repeatedly. He's hiding something from us . . . from me and I want to know what it is.

"Why the question?"

"I know you and you seem very off today. I can't put my finger on it but you're acting weird Toretto. What gives?"

"I'm fine Kay, don't worry about me." he said.

"I can't help it, you know that. Everything is a little off, especially without Brian here to keep us all in check." I muttered.

"It really is, everything feels off but he's going what he's supposed to do."

"I'm not saying that he isn't, just that it's different. It's weird." I sighed.

"It is, it really is. Feels like he'll just walk in at any minute with one of his bullshit dad jokes to break up the tension." Dom said with a sigh.

"Well, at least we know that Mia, Jack, and Brianna will always be safe. I mean, did you see what he did to the empty rooms?"

"I went over the blueprints with him; a panic room and a surveillance hub." he chuckled.

"He's got a better setup than the FBI does." I said.

"It's his thing, family protection is important to him and he could never stop being a cop completely. It's ingrained in his very being." he chuckled.

"Especially after what happened in London. As much as I miss them, I'm super happy for them. They finally have what they really wanted, and that's a big family."

"Me too, I'm happy that they have each other for good now, but now it's time to get to work. We've got to make the world a better place for our godchildren."

"You've got the word, Toretto." I said, getting up from my perch on the table.

"Alright team, it's go time! Everyone in position!" Dom shouted.

"Let's do this boys!" I shouted.

We drove over to the location where the EMP was being held and as soon as we infiltrated the first layer of their protective barriers all hell broke loose. We were met by heavy fire, these men did not want to lose the EMP and they were smart enough to know that the EMP was our sole reason for being here.

I made sure that my earwig was nice and snug along with the mic on my necklace and hopped out of my car, guns blazing with Letty hot on my tail. Looking around we kept our weapons high and our guards even higher.

"Kaylee, 3 o'clock." I heard and turned around to shoot the guy who was coming up on my right.

"Letty your 6! Hobbs, hurry up!" I shouted.

The guys were the first level of gunfire that these men would meet, Letty and I were to accompany Hobbs and take care of any stragglers that got through. We had to take out a few people but not nearly as many as the guys did.

Hobbs ran out a little winded with the EMP and it was time to go. Letty and I got into our cars after Hobbs loaded the EMP into his jeep, then the three of us covered the guys as they got into their own cars. We have a short, clear path and we're going to take the max advantage of it, we have to if we plan on making it out of this alive.

"Roman, do your thing." I said, ready for him to distract.

"You got it." he smugly answered, I could hear it in his voice.
