Reyna leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, her eyes were resting on the small group across the street from her. Dominic Toretto was bragging to a couple of random girls with Leticia Ortiz glaring at them while Vince stood next to Mia Toretto. Dominic locked gazes with Reyna and smile slightly as he walked over to her, "Hey Rey." She couldn't find the strength to smile, "They're gone, Dom. My mother and Benny are dead." Dom pulled Reyna into a hug.

Reyna tried so hard to fight the tears but they betrayed her, she broke down in Dom's arms. "I got you, Rey. Let it out." Reyna let Dominic hold her as she cried until she couldn't anymore. He pulled away from her and smiled sadly, "Let's go for a drive." She nodded before walking over to Dominic's car, she climbed into the passenger seat while Dom spoke with the others. She wiped down her eyes and cheeks before pulling on her sweater to cover her hands.

Dom got into the car and turned to Reyna, "Just watch the road, Rey." She nodded at Dom before leaning back in the seat, she kept her eyes on the road for a while until she fell asleep. Dom drove them back home, he carried her inside before calling her dad to let him know where she was. Mia and Letty looked at Reyna as Vince pulled the blanket on her, "We have your back always Reyna. Till the end." Vince kissed her head before they walked out of her room.

A few days later Reyna and Dominic's crew excluding Vince were at the garage working. "What about parts and service?" Mia questioned her brother as she looks at some paperwork. Dom looked at Mia, "Hold off on it." Reyna and Mia looked at each other before Mia turned to Dom, "Dom, I don't know what to do with it." Reyna watches as a tow truck backs up in front of the garage with a totalled car on it. "I'll handle it later," Dom spoke before walking over.

Reyna followed behind Dom as Brian approached them, "What do you got there?" Dom questioned. "This is your car," Brian responded making Reyna smirk. Dom stands up straighter, "My car?" He questioned as Jesse hit the car. Reyna walked over and ran her fingers across the dirt, "We said a 10-second car, not a 10-minute car." Reyna spoke as she looked at Brian who simply shrugged.

Jesse nudged Reyna, "You could push this across the finish line, or tow it." Letty laughed at Jesse's comment as Reyna walked up to Brian, "You couldn't even tow it across the finish line." Brian smirked at Reyna's comment, "No faith." Reyna raised an eyebrow before nodding slightly, turning to look at Dom. "I have faith in you, but this isn't a junkyard. This is a garage," Dom spoke gaining Brian's attention from Reyna.

Brian looked at Jesse as he spoke, "Pop the hood." Reyna crossed her arms against her chest as Brian looked at her and Dom. "Pop the hood?" Dom questioned making Brian smile, "Pop the hood." They got the car off the tow truck and into the garage, Brian stood next to Reyna as she and Jesse popped the hood only to be left shocked, "2Jz engine. Nice." Reyna says as she looks at Brian who was smiling impressed by her knowledge.

Brian looked at Dom, "And what did I tell you?" Brian smirked as Dom nodded, "We retract our previous statements." Jesse and Reyna did their handshake before looking at the engine, "You know what? This will decimate all after you put about $15,000 in it." Jesse says with Reyna nodding in agreement with him. Reyna looked at Dom, "Or more if we have to overnight parts from Japan."

"We'll put it on my tab at Harry's," Dom says as he turned to Brian. "I gotta get you racing again so I can make some money off your ass," Dom tells Brian. "There's a show down in the desert called Race Wars. That's where you'll do it. When you're not working at Harry's, you're working here. If you can't fight the right tool in this garage, Mr Arizona, you don't belong near a car." Dom walked away from Brian as he turned to Reyna, "He owns you now." She smirked at Brian before turning to Jesse.
