RIDE OR DIE, Tej Parker ✓

TWENTY-EIGHT

The next morning, the four runaways stand on a balcony overlooking the city below. "Let's run through the bases real quick. What do we got?" Brian asks as he wraps an arm around Mia's waist holding her close to him as Reyna crosses her arms. "First, we're going to need a chameleon. Someone who can blend in anywhere," Dom says as he glanced at Reyna who smiled knowing who he was referring too. "What else?" Mia asks causing Dom to speak, "A fast talker. Someone who can bullshit their way out of anything." Brian smirked at Reyna who grinned knowing the right person, "We got that." The two shared a fist bump.

Dom smiled at their excitement before continuing, "This guy is going to have a lot of surveillance. We're going to need someone who's good with circuits." Brian looked at Reyna with raised brows as she smiled softly sending him a curt nod knowing the perfect person for that. "And with those circuits, Reyes is going to have walls," Reyna spoke thinking of her cousins, "We're going to need guys to punch through those walls." Dominic nodded as Brian spoke, "What else?" They all thought for a moment. "Utilities and weapons. Someone who ain't afraid to throwdown. Someone to back up every position." Dom answer thinking of the right person.

Mia nodded along glancing between the other three before voice another question, "What else do we need?" Reyna stepped forward with a smirk on her face, "Most importantly, we're going to need three precision drivers. People who don't crack under pressure. People that never lose." Dom and Mia smirked back at her as Brian laughed slightly, "You know we got that." The four of them made their final agreement before they split up on making the calls, Reyna deciding on contacting her cousins before heading to their new hideout.

Roman Pearce was the first person to enter the room with a smug expression ready to help. A car enters the room with Tej Parker climbing out noticing Roman, "Ah, hell no. I see they really scraped the bottom of the barrel, huh?" Rome scoffed turning to Tej, "I guess they did, since your ass is here. When are you going to give Martin Luther King his car back?" Tej looked at the car with one girl swirling his thoughts, she was the reason he was driving it. "As soon as you give Rick James his jacket back," Tej teases back before they laugh, embracing each other in a bro hug before pulling back with smiles.

The sound of revving echoes through the room as a motorbike pulls in, Gisele Yasher climbs of the bike catching Roman's full attention at her face reveal. "Sexy legs, baby girl," Roman says as he walks towards her with Tej following behind him. "What time do they open?" Rome asks before Gisele turns with her gun pointed in his face, "They open the same time as I pull this trigger." Roman recoils a bit though her smirk shows she's playing.

Tego and Santos enter the room witnessing the scene before rambling with each other in Spanish catching Roman's attention. "Hey. Anybody can talk shit in Spanish, Homie," Rome says as he turns to face them. Tego and Santos start arguing with Roman and Tej as Han walks into the room stopping beside Gisele, "I thought cockfights were illegal in Brazil." He offered Gisele some chips as she looked at him. "I see you all have met," Dom says as he, Mia and Brian enter the room with smiles on their faces seeing their family ready to help.

"You know when you called me to come to Rio, I assumed it would be for something more exciting then this," Gisele spoke as she and Dom embrace each other while Mia hugs Tego and Santos. Brian approached Roman and Tej pulling them into separate bro hugs, Tej's eyes wandering in search for a certain brunette. "Check this out," Brian led Tej and Roman over to Dominic, "This is Tej. Best circuit man in the East Coast." Tej and Dominic shake hands before Brian motions to Roman, "And this is my boy, Roman Pearce. We go way back, I met this guy in juvie. Rey and I pulled that job with him in Miami."
