The Oldest Toretto

The next day, Han tries the track having the same results as everyone else.
"Close, but not enough," Gisele tells him as he gets out of his car.
"Moni, the window is too small," Han says as he turns to face the twins, who are working on a car. "Only way we're going to beat the cameras is with invisible cars."
"And I know just where to get them," Domonique says with a smirk as Dom lowers the hood of the car they were working on. "Let's take a ride, boys."

Gisele drives the van by the police station before Domonique, Dom, Brian, Han, and Rome climb on top of the van and over the fence. They each get into a car before driving off. Domonique pulls up to a red light with Brian and Dom on either side of her.
"It's been a while since I've been behind the wheel of one of these," Brian says as he looks at the dashboard.
"First time I've ever been in the front seat," Domonique says with a smirk as Dom nods in agreement, causing Brian to chuckle. Han and Rome pull up on the other side of Brian.
"Hey, Rome, what took you so long?" Brian asks him in a teasing tone. "I thought for sure you'd be showing up with some chrome spinners or something."
"Real funny," Rome says with a chuckle before glaring at Brian. Rome grabs the speaker before talking into it. "I got $100,000 that says I can take you all in the next quarter-mile." Domonique and Dom share a smile, knowing that he couldn't beat them.
"Yeah, your broke ass has got a hundred grand," Brian asks him as he shakes his head.
"If we pull off this job, I will," Rome replies over the speaker. "The next two lights. Hundred thousand."
"We don't pull this job off, we're probably dead anyway," Han says as he looks at Brian, Domonique, and Dom. "Let's make it a million."
"I like that. All right, a million dollar quarter mile," Brian says as Domonique smiles.
"All right then," Han says as he gets ready.
"You only live once. Lets do it," Rome agrees over the speaker.
"I'm game," Dom adds causing Brian to turn to Domonique.
"What do you say, Moni?" Brian asks her.
"We talking or we racing?" Domonique asks him back.
"Just don't cheat this time," Brian says with a smile.
"Got to let that go," Domonique says as she rolls her eyes with a smile. They all get ready for the light to turn green as they rev their engines. Rome takes off just before it turns green with his sirens blaring and lights flashing.
"Typical, Roman," Brian says with an eye roll as they chase after Rome.
"I'm going to get this money. I'm hungry," Rome cheers as he is in the lead. Brian gets beside Rome as there is parked cars on both sides of the streets.
"Don't make it too easy for me, boys," Domonique says as she slips between Brian and Rome, taking the lead with Dom following her. Han passes Rome, putting him in last place.
"Not this time, Moni," Brian says as he pulls up beside Dom and Domonique.
"You got to want it, Brian," Dom says as he looks past Domonique to see Brian beside them. Han gets beside Dom with Rome getting beside Brian. Domonique, Dom, and Brian stay a little ahead of Han and Rome as they near the last light. Domonique looks over at Dom before she nods with a smile on her face. She wants Brian to win especially since he is with her sister, who is pregnant. Dom nods back before they both speed up getting slightly in front of Brian, who speeds up. Domonique and Dom let off the throttle making it seem as though Brian had just passed them.
"Yeah! Owned you! Owned you!" Brian cheers as he wins before they return to the hideout. Brian gets out of his car as he smiles at Dom and Domonique.

"Good race, O'Conner," Domonique says as she walks over to the others.
"Thanks, Moni," Brian says before turning to Rome and Han. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for that shit?" Rome smiles at him as they bro hug.
"I told you he didn't see it," Han says as he looks at Brian, who looks between Rome and Han confused.
"Your people right there?" Rome says as he motions to Domonique and Dom. "They let off the throttle at the line. You didn't do nothing. They let you win."
"Bullshit," Brian says as Rome and Han start to walk away, causing him to frown.

Mia is at the market, the next morning, getting some food for the team. Mia is grabbed from behind before she sees that it is Vince.
"Vince, what are you doing?" Mia asks him panicked as she struggles to get out of his hold.
"Quiet! They've been tracking you," Vince tells her before they see two cars full of Reyes' men show up. Mia stops fighting against Vince before letting him lead her away. Mia takes him back to the hideout once they are sure it's safe. Rome is the first to see them as they walk in before turning to look at Brian, who notices them. Brian quickly puts down the air compressor he is using before heading towards Vince.
"It's okay. Wait!" Mia says as she puts her hands on Brian's chest to stop him. "Reyes' guys were waiting for me at the market. Vince saved my life." Vince nods at Brian, because what Mia had said is true before noticing that Rome had walked over as well, ready to fight with Brian.
"You hungry?" Domonique asks from where she, Dom, and Han are looking at the blue prints.
"Yeah, sure," Vince answers her.
"Good. Because you're saying grace," Dom tells him as Domonique looks at him with a small smirk.
"Thanks, Vince," Brian says before shaking his hand.

Domonique and Dom are working on his charger while Tego and Santos argue while they cook. Brian sits at the computer with Mia in his lap as they keep an eye on the tracker for Hobbs. Gisele is off on her own as she cleans her guns. Tej, Rome, and Han all sit together while enjoying some beers.
"Cheers. Cheers. Cheers," Rome says as he hits Tej's and Han's bottles before they all take a drink. "So, we in Brazil. It's the good life. So, you got $10 million coming. What are you going to do with your money?"
"Me?" Tej asks causing Rome to nod. "Actually, man, I been thinking about opening up a garage back home. Place where people can bring their cars and not get completely ripped off. You know what I mean?"
"Really?" Rome asks him, causing Tej to nod. "So, your dream is to start a day job? That's stupid. Like, why would..."
"No, it's not stupid at all," Tej tells him as he shakes his head. "I love what I do."
"That don't make no sense to me," Rome says as Tego walks over to them.
"I know what I'm going to do with my money," Tego says before setting down some of the meat that is burnt. "Buy some cooking lessons for my man."
"See? See? There you go with that negativity, man," Santos says as he turns to look at him. "You know me. Money ain't a goddamn thing."
"It's going to take a little more than money to learn how to cook," Rome says as he picks up one of the burnt ribs.
"That's horrible," Tej says in agreement.
"But I heard they was looking for a chef down at this animal shelter," Rome jokes causing everyone to laugh. Domonique looks over at everyone with a smile as she takes a drink of beer. Nothing made her happier than seeing her family happy and together whether they were new family members or old family members. Though Domonique knew that someone was missing and that is Letty. Vince walks over to Dom and Domonique.
"Hey, Dom, Moni," Vince says. "Listen uh, I know that you're all set for this job tomorrow, but if you need an extra man, I could..."
"You're in," Dom tells him as glances at Domonique, who nods in agreement before taking a drink of her beer.
"There's always room for family," Domonique says with a smile.
"Thank you," Vince tells them with a nod of appreciation.
"Let's get something to eat," Dom says as he grabs his beer and Domonique gives Vince a hug. "Can you believe Mia calls this a curse?"
"She might be right," Vince says before they walk over to the others.

"We're less than 24 hours from the biggest celebration of our life," Rome says as he grabs some more beers before walking over to Brian and Mia. "Y'all need a refill. This is serious stuff."
"No, I'm good," Mia says as Rome tries to hand her one.
"Cheers, baby," Rome tries as Brian opens his beer.
"I'm good. No, thank you," Mia says as Brian and Rome tap their bottles together.
"No, she can't," Brian says in agreement.
"What do you mean?" Rome asks as he looks between them confused.
"She can't," Brian answers as Mia looks at him with a smile on her face.
"What do you mean she can't? What is..." Rome asks before Brian rubs Mia's stomach with a smile on his face. "Are you serious right now?"
"Yeah," Brian answers him.
"Is that the reason you both let him, beat you in the quarter mile?" Rome asks as he looks at Domonique and Dom with a laugh before everyone starts walking over. "That was a baby gift."
"No, that's messed up," Brian argues with him. "No, you're not taking that from me."
"Wait, Wait, hold on a second," Tej says as he walks over. "So, did he just smack that ass or did he grab and hold on to it?" Everyone laughs before Gisele and Han walk over to hug and tell them congratulations.
"How can you keep this a secret?" Rome asks Brian.
"Crazy, huh?" Brian says as they hug.
"It's your boy," Rome says as Domonique watches them all with a smile on her face. "Why would you keep something like that away from me?"
"Baby gift, huh?" Brian asks as he walks over to Domonique and Dom.
"I have no idea what they're talking about," Domonique answers him with a sarcastic smile. "Toast!" Everyone gathers around as Brian hugs Mia from behind. "Money will come and go. We know that. But the most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here. Right now. Salude, mi familia."
"Salude," Everyone says as they all touch their beers together.
