RIDE OR DIE, Tej Parker ✓

TWENTY-SIX

"God damn," Vince says as he walks in and looks around, "What a mess!" Reyna looked up at Mia before letting out a breath. "Where you been, man?" Dom asks as he barely glances at Vince while Reyna crossed her arms. "You better check that tone," Vince answers with a chuckle making Reyna shake her head. "And you just better answer the goddamn question," Brian says as he stands up and heads straight towards Vince. "Stop it, both of you," Mia spoke as she stood between them glancing at Reyna who shrugged her shoulders.

Reyna made her way over, "Where were you, Vince?" He turned to her, "Guys all over the Favelas asking about you. Couldn't get out of there without leading them straight to you," Vince answers them, "Had to wait it out." Reyna nodded as Brian scoffed, "That is such horseshit. That was your job and those were your guys!" Mia shouted at them as they went to step at each other prompting Reyna to step in. "Hey! Enough, O'Connor!" Reyna spoke as Dom pulled Vince back, "If he said he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Go walk it off." Brian walked off while Mia following him.

That night, Brian and Mia had gone to their room with Dom resting in his while Reyna spent time processing everything that had happened. As Reyna was seated in the dark she noticed Vince walk into the room, she watches him as he approaches the table where the radio screen sat. He pulled a chip out of the back of it making Reyna sigh, "Almost wish I didn't see that." She walked into the light, "Almost." Vince looked at her startled causing him to drop the chip. Reyna walked straight towards Vince shoving him into the wall as he spoke, "Wait, Rey..."

"We were on that train, Vince. You're family, in case you forgot!" Reyna shouted as Vince held his hands up in surrender. "I didn't know. I wouldn't do anything to hurt any of you," Vince yells at Reyna who shook her head in response. "You set up the deal!" Reyna yells as she gets in Vince's face, she was beyond pissed at this and the danger they were in now. "I thought the job was for the cars, I didn't know. All they want is the chip," Vince pleas with her as she turned away from him.

She shook her head, "You should've come clean, Vince." Mia and Brian exited their room due to the yelling with Dominic following behind them. "What's going on out here?" Mia questioned as Reyna ran her hand through her short hair. "Nothing," Reyna spoke but even her tone of voice proved she was pissed, she walked away from Vince. "Please, Rey, just let me have the chip. I can take it to them," Vince explains as he follows Reyna, "They'll give it to Reyes and set things right." Reyna stopped and turned sharply to face Vince, "Get out."

Vince recoiled slightly, "What?" Reyna stood her ground, "GET OUT!" She yelled as she pointed towards the door, Vince turned towards the door glancing at Brian before turning back to Reyna. "You never listen to me. Not when I told you he was a cop and not now," Vince says causing Dom to look at Brian while Reyna continued staring at Vince, "You never trust me and look where it's gotten us. Look at our family now. I can't go home! You're all stuck in this life! Where's Letty, Dom? Rey, Where's Letty?" Reyna clenched her jaw turning away from him as Dom yelled, "Get out!"

Luke is looking through the remains of the train before pulling something out from where they had cut into the side of the train, "Plasma cutter." He looked over the piece of metal before turning to one of his men, "Wilkes, I want a list of every place within fifty miles that distributes compressed gas tanks. Pass me that manifest." Luke dropped the piece of metal into the bag that Wilkes holds out. Wilkes then passes Luke a file as a woman approached them, "Officer Neves. Been waiting for you."

She stood tall, "You asked for me?" Her brazilian accent flowed through her words. "I did," Luke answers her. "May I ask why? My smile is not that great," Elena says with a blank expression. "Your husband was an officer who was gunned down in the Favela. Six months later, you upped and joined the force. You're motivated," Luke explains before one of his team members pull-up, "Plus, I figure you're the only one in Rio who can't be bought. Am I right?" She nodded.
