The trio had been instructed to meet up with Bilkins and Markham at an abandoned restaurant near the police station. This was one of their safe houses. Roman wasn't very happy to be meeting up with Markham after what had gone down earlier. When Brian and Roman had retrieved Verone's package from the Ferrari, the other racers showed up too. Now, this wouldn't have been a problem but Markham and other officers also showed up to the scene. Markham was convinced that the boys were making a run for it. Roman knew that he needed to make everything look legit in front of the other racers, so he had grabbed his gun and fired a few shots indirectly at the officers. Roman didn't want to injure them, he just wanted to make it look like he was trying to. Jessica had been briefed on the situation on the way over here.

"They almost blew our cover before we even got started," Roman muttered as the three of them walked inside the building. Bilkins and Agent Dunn were standing near a table in the middle of the room.

"Hey Bilkins, can you tell me what went wrong?" Brian asked as they walked closer.

"I'd like to know too," Bilkins replied, glancing at each one of them. Jessica folded her arms across her chest. She knew that Markham was going to be pissed. Upon hearing their voices, Markham stormed into the room. Markham's gun was in his hand and aimed directly at Roman.

"Show me your hands!" Markham ordered angrily. Roman put his hands up in defense. Brian and Jessica shared a look. Dunn ran over to Roman and started patting him down, looking for the gun he had used to fire earlier.

"What is this about, man?" Roman asked. Dunn finished patting Markham down then looked to Markham, nodding. He was clean, no weapon found.

"What are you doing, Markham?" Jessica asked, taking a step forward. Markham simply ignored her.

"Hold this," Markham said, tossing his gun to Bilkins, who caught it. Jessica's brows furrowed. Markham practically ran over to Roman. "YOU THINK YOU CAN SHOOT AT ME? I'M A GODDAMN FEDERAL AGENT!" Markham yelled, pushing Roman roughly. Roman pushed him back.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?" Roman shouted at the agent. Everyone ran towards the two, trying to break up the fight before it began. Brian managed to pull Markham off Roman, pulling him back a few steps to give them some space. Dunn assisted Brian with Markham. Bilkins was trying to keep a hold of Roman with Jessica's assistance since he was struggling against their grip. "Man, get him away from me dog! Just 'cause you wear a badge don't mean you can come in here and mess shit up!"

"Get your hands off me!" Markham yelled to Brian, who continued to pull him further and further away from his friend. 

"You're lucky I didn't shoot your ass!" Roman taunted. Jessica gave Roman a firm shove to prevent him from going after Markham again.
