Fast Cars & Love

11.5

The next day, Han drifts through the track as quickly as he can.
"Close, but not enough," Gisele tells him as he gets out of his car.
"Dom, the window is too small, man," Han says with a sigh as he turns to face Dom, who is working on a car.
"Mia, you wanna give it a try?" Dom says since he hadn't seen her drive in a while.
"Sure, why not," Mia answers with a smirk before taking her car to the start of the track.
"Go," Brian tells her over the walkie before Mia races through the track while drifting.
"Camera three barely caught you," Brian tells Mia with an impressed smile as she gets out of her car.
"Han's right. The window is too small," Mia says as she looks at her brother for any ideas. "Only way we're going to beat the cameras is with invisible cars."
"And I know just where to get them," Dom says with a smirk as he lowers the hood of the car he was working on. "Let's take a little ride." Gisele drives the van by the police station before Dom, Brian, Han, and Roman climb on top of the van and over the fence to get some cop cars.

Mia and Trixie are at the market, the next morning, getting them some food. Trixie is grabbed from behind before Mia punches the guy in the face.
"Mia stop!" Trixie quickly says as she sees that it is Vince, causing Mia to look at him in shock. "Vince, what are you doing?"
"Quiet! They've been tracking you," Vince tells her before they see two cars full of Reyes' men show up. Vince grabs Mia's arm before leading them away from the market. Mia and Trixie take him back to the hideout once they are sure it's safe. Roman 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 before heading towards Vince.
"It's okay. Wait!" Trixie says as she puts her hands on Brian's chest to stop him. "Reyes' guys were waiting for me and Mia at the market. Vince saved our lives." Vince and Mia nod at Brian, because what Trixie had said is true.
"You hungry?" Dom asks from where he and Han are looking at the blue prints.
"Yeah, sure," Vince answers him with a confused look.
"Good. Because you're saying grace," Dom tells him with a small smirk, causing Vince to smile.
"Thanks, Vince," Brian says before shaking his hand.

Dom is working on his charger while Tego and Santos argue while they cook. Brian sits at the computer with Trixie in his lap as they keep an eye on the tracker for Hobbs. Gisele is off on her own as she cleans the guns. Tej, Mia, Roman, and Han all sit together while enjoying some beers. Besides Mia, who is pretending to drink her beer.
"Cheers. Cheers. Cheers," Roman says as he hits Tej's, Mia's, and Han's bottles before they all take a drink. "So, we in Brazil. It's the good life." Roman looks over at Tej. "So, you got $10 million coming. What are you going to do with your money?"
"Me?" Tej asks, causing Roman 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?" Roman asks him confused, 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 with a proud smile. "I love what I do."
"It's a honest living," Mia says with a smile, causing Tej to nod in agreement.
"That don't make no sense to me," Roman 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. "Buying 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," Mia says as Roman picks up one of the burnt ribs, causing her to wrinkle her nose in disgust.
"That's horrible," Tej says in agreement while shaking his head.
"But I heard they was looking for a chef down at this animal shelter," Roman jokes, causing everyone to laugh. Vince walks over to Dom as Mia walks over to Brian and Trixie.
"Hey, Dom," Vince says as Dom looks up at him. "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 before taking a drink of his beer. "There's always room for family."
"Thank you," Vince tells him with a smile.
"Let's get something to eat," Dom says as he grabs his beer before patting Vince on the shoulder. "Can you believe Mia calls this a curse?"
"She might be right," Vince says before they start to walk over to the others.
