Miles Per Hour-(Fast and Furious related)

Only the Start

Melvin started to train with us, but he was getting trained more for technological purposes instead of combat and etc. After training, I had to go register my Porsche with Chris. There was big race tonight, since some racers from New York are coming; Sean's friends texted me that today. I'm so pissed I won't be able to go since Simmons will not tolerate me or the group to engage in any 'illegal' activity.

We get home after a long day and the house phone rings. It's like the first time I ever heard it ring since I've been down here. Sean picks it up. He then gets serious. "Who is it" I mouthed. He hands it over to me.

"Your grandfather." He whispers, his hand on the mic. I roll my eyes.

"Hello?" I say confused.

"Rosie? Hey Granddaughter!" He says happily. Sean stares at me and Chris comes in the living room.

"Hi Grandpop." I try to sound as happy as he is, but then again I don't like him so it comes out dry. "What's up?"

"Well, nice to hear you again... I think I'll pull up sometime by Chris's house. Don't worry is to discuss the custody issues." Wait what...

"What do you mean custody issues?" I look at Chris and Sean really confused right now. Chris motions to take the phone but I shake my head and listen to Ralph.

"Since basically you are an orphan-" He did not just. "...Deckard being gone and everything, someone needs to take your custody hunny. You are underage."

"But I don't want you to-" He ignores me and keeps talking.

"I'm getting married soon, to Sasha(fiancée number six), remember her? Yeah, she will be a great mom..." I actually like Sasha. Still don't understand that engagement. 

"But I'm not an orphan! You can't just-" Before I say another word, Chris takes the phone away and talks to him.

"How can you all of a sudden say something like that, Shaw......I don't care......She is living with me obviously....I know....Who cares what the court says?" I turn and walk towards a window. Moments later, Melvin walks in the house. He stops when he sees Chris screaming on the phone.

How can Ralph just do that? He always wants things his way, all the time. But with me..things are going to be different. While Chris continues to talk to him, I pick up my cell-phone and call Simmons.

"I know. Don't worry we are recording everything..." Simmons says after the first ring. Of course, I forgot he hacked all our phone signals and everything. This time I'm kinda grateful for that.

"I don't want him to take my custody. Since when am I so Important to him?" I say to Simmons.

"He doesn't do it because he cares for you, he does it to make Deckard mad. But, with the whole custody thing, we won't let him take you...for now." For what? What does Simmons mean? This was not part of the plan.

"I will not-"

"I know, but listen looks like your brother got everything settled. Jackson and Stones will drop by tomorrow to hand you guys your equipment for England. Oh, and Alice called...said she's in." I smile at his last words. I knew Alice would join. I end the call and look over at Chris as he continues to argue with Ralph. Melvin approaches Sean and asks whats going on.

"We are going on vacation......Mexico....Because I want too....Probably a month....Your wedding?Next Month....July 28? Okay....Rosie won't go-.Okay fine, We will see....No money Shaw, I make my own.Thank you very much..." Chris ends the call and puts the phone back.

"He wont take me right?" I ask desperately.

"No little one. Big brother Chris has everything under control..." He gives me a smile and I feel a bit relieved yet skeptical. There is no way I want to be Ralph's grand daughter yet alone his daughter. 

The next day, Jack and Stones arrive super early while we get up to get ready for training. They tell us the best news yet, no training for the day. They hand us our clothing and equipment for England. I open the black sealed suitcase Stones hands me. All the damn clothing is black. Black T-shirts, pants, jackets, everything. I pick up a shirt and it has some logo on it's right side. You can barely notice it though. A few moments later, Alice walks through the door looking as happy as ever.

"Did you receive my message?" I ask her as she hugs me.

"Yea. Old Shaw has lost it completely..." She grimaces. Chris comes and she goes back to neutral. He gives her a charming smile.

"Welcome to the team." He says. Oh boy here goes Barbie's Ken.

I walk over to Sean who is just opening his suitcase. I lean on the arm of the couch and I giggle under my breath when his expressions changes as he sees all that black clothing.

"What is this? Another Men in Black movie?" He smiles serious and closes the suitcase.

"We will all match..." I give a disgusting face expression. "Simmons likes to torture us" He laughs and then I hear Alice and Chris sharing laughs which catches my attention.

"Looks like big bro Chris has his eye on your bestie." Sean says saying what I was thinking.

"I swear, Alice is no joke. He does one little thing and , you know where I'm going with this..." I say.

"Nah, I don't..." Sean says playing around, I remain serious.

"Want a demonstration?" I stand straight and he backs away. I grin.

The next three days go by in a beat. It's unreal that I'll be going back to England, but not as a vacation, as Deckard used to take me when I was younger, this time its to uncover what the hell is going on with the Shaw's. My own family. They say family is the most important thing. When I look at Chris that is true, because he is my ride or die. But when I look at people like Ralph and Deckard, family, is not what they are to me.

We arrive to the airport where Simmons, Sarah and the crew waits for us. I'm wearing leather pants with leather boots and a black jacket. My hair is slightly wavy. The rest wear pretty much the same, except Chris and Melvin who decided to wear high top white Adidas. I don't understand what their intentions were to be honest.

We will be traveling in a special airplane only spies use. Before we take the stairs to climb the plane though, we line up side-by side and look at Simmons. He gives us some advice and all this jumble on information that we already know. The good part is that Jack and Stones will join us. They are like family now so we are happy they are with us.

"....And most importantly, remember that you are sent to do this mission.  Not to fall in love, not to make friends, not to race-" I look over at Sean and feel guilty. "...And most importantly, not to kill innocents."

With that we shake his hand and we are climb up. I look back one more time before I step inside the plane. This is only the start.
