Fast Cars & Love

10.5

The next morning, they stand on a balcony that over looks the city of Rio.
"Let's run through the bases real quick. Who do we got?" Brian asks as he wraps an arm around Trixie's waist.
"First we're going to need a chameleon. Someone who can blend in anywhere," Dom answers, already having someone in mind.
"What else?" Trixie asks as she looks at everyone.
"A fast talker. Someone who can bullshit their way out of anything," Mia answers her, causing Brian to smile.
"I got that," Brian says with a nod.
"This guy is going to have a lot of surveillance. We're going to need someone who's good with circuits," Dom explains, causing Brian to smile again.
"And with those circuits, Reyes is going to have walls," Mia adds, knowing that she would need some help. "We're going to need guys to punch through those walls."
"What else?" Brian asks with a nod.
"Utilities and weapons. Someone who ain't afraid to throw down. Someone to back up every position," Dom answers him after a moment of thinking.
"Yeah, what else do we need?" Trixie asks since she can't think of anything else.
"Most importantly, we're going to need two precision drivers," Dom answers her, causing Brian to smile. "People who don't crack under pressure. People that never lose."
"You know we got that," Brian says, causing everyone to laugh. They go make the phone calls that they need to make before heading to their new hideout. As Mia is going through her contacts to find Santos' number but sees Damon's as she scrolls. Mia feels tears come to her eyes as she thinks about how he is not there with her. Mia takes a deep breath before moving past his number to Santos'.

Roman Pearce is the first to walk into the hideout. He is followed by Tej Parker, who drives in.
"Ah, hell, no," Tej says as he gets out of his car. "I see they really scraped the bottom of the barrel, huh?"
"I guess they did, since your ass is here," Roman retorts as they walk toward each other. "When are you going to give Martin Luther King his car back?"
"As soon as you give Rick James his jacket back," Tej quips before they laugh and bro hug.

"I'm going to assume that those are your friends," Mia says with a smile, causing Brian to nod. Next to enter is Gisele Yasher on her bike.

"Sexy legs, baby girl," Roman says as he walks over to her. "What time do they open?"
"They open the same time as I pull this trigger," Gisele answers as she quickly turns around with her gun pointed at Roman. "Want me to open them?" Tego and Santos enter as they speak Spanish to each other.
"Hey, anybody can talk shit in Spanish, homie," Roman says as he turns to face them. Tego, Santos, Roman, and Tej all start arguing as Han walks in.
"I thought cockfights were illegal in Brazil," Han states as he stands next to Gisele before offering her some chips.
"I see you all have met," Dom says as he, Trixie, Brian, and Mia walk over to them.
"You know when you called me to come to Rio I assumed it would be for something more exciting than this," Gisele says as she and Dom hug. Mia hugs Tego and Santos while Brian hugs Roman and Tej before Trixie hugs Han.
"Check this out," Brian says as he walks over to Mia and Dom. "This is Tej. Best circuit man in the East coast." Tej and Dom shake hands before he sends a flirty smile to Mia. "And this is my boy, Roman Pearce. We go way back, I met this guy in juvie. I pulled that job with him in Miami."
"I heard about you," Dom says with a nod.
"Nice digs," Han says as he walks over before Mia gives him a hug.
"Yeah, well, the Ritz was sold out," Dom tells him with a smirk.
"So what's this all about, Dom?" Han asks as he eats his chips.
"Yeah, man, why did you drag us halfway around the world?" Tej asks in agreement.
"Because we got a job," Mia says with a smirk before they start walking over to the table that has their plans on it.
"All right, so our target's name is Hernan Reyes," Brian explains as they circle around the table. "And he runs the drug scene down here. He's never been busted because he doesn't leave a paper trail."
"No paper trail means no banks. And no banks means cash houses," Gisele says, causing Mia to nod.
"That's right. Ten of them to be exact," Trixie says as she unfolds the map. "Spread throughout the city."
"And we're going to hit them all," Dom adds with a smirk.
"All of them?" Tej asks with a raised eyebrow.
"All of them," Mia confirms with her own smirk.
"That sounds crazy," Roman says as he looks at everyone. "You bring us to a whole other country so we can rob the dude who runs it? I thought you said this was business. Sounds personal to me. Is that what this is? I got love for y'all but personal ain't good business. I can't do this, homie."
"So what we're talking about is $100 million," Dom says loud enough for Roman to hear as he is walking away.
"You say what?" Roman asks as he quickly turns around. "Hundred... See, sometimes I be over thinking, man, and I know we just met, but you just, kind of, got to..."
"That's right, $100 million, and everything we take, we split even," Dom explains as he looks around at everyone else.
"That's $10 million a piece," Tej says, causing Mia to smile. "I am down."
"I'm in," Tego agrees with a nod.
"Ten million. Sounds like a whole lot of vaginal activity to me," Roman says, causing Mia and Trixie to look at each other and roll their eyes.
"You can't pull off 10 heists on the same mark," Gisele says as she shakes her head. "You just can't."
"As soon as we hit the first one, they're going to do everything they can to protect the rest," Han explains in agreement with Gisele.
"Exactly," Dom tells them with a smile.
