CHAPTER NINE || CLOSING

"Your forehead is a big enough target Rome!" Tej's voice echoed through Roman's car from a tech device linked up to the radio, Ash chuckled before looking in the seat next to her seeing josè was out cold. looking out the window on josè side, Ash Could see Letty driving in line beside her.

"Shut up" Roman's voice sounded through his car, Offended at Tej's statement. Tej's laugh quickly followed before being cut off by Roman's hand slamming into the radio.

"Rome is she okay?" there it was, the voice she'd been trying so hard to forget. A voice that triggered emotions she couldn't even begin to describe. Anxiety trickled through her veins like acid, she gripped the steering wheel tighter, so tight it made her knuckles turn white. 

"yeah man, she cool." Roman smiled cheekily. It all felt wrong, it felt off. shed never expected them to help her, she wasn't sure she wanted them to, But they were family, and they always would be. 

"I'll be fine now guys thanks. but I gotta head back with this asshole." Ash nodded towards Josè, before looking back over to Roman who just scoffed, "Not even a hello" he rolled his eyes, his words seemed jokingly but there was an underlying seriousness to them. and by the look on Letty's face, Ash could tell she was pissed at her for leaving. and she had every right to be.

ash had done what she could while driving for josè arm, not that he deserved it. but she at least had to pretend she cared. the drive to catch up with Dom would've been a long one if Ash hadn't been going over 100 mph the whole drive. she finally managed to catch up with them at the same place they'd started the whole trip. she could see John and his group standing in front of their cars while Dom and Nick got out of the truck. Ash followed helping Josè out of the car earning a confused look from Dom as she handed him over to their group before walking over to Dom.

"There are people in the back of that truck," he whispered carefully, she had a feeling back at the truck stop there were. the banging. and it still hadn't stopped. the light tapping coming from inside the truck sending shivers down Ash's spine. it was sickening, it was vile, the thought someone could even do that to another human being made Ash feel sick. 

dom sent her a look and she knew they had to end this now, this case was done. she couldn't let anything else happen to the people in the back of that truck... If they didn't get to them now, those people might not last even an hour. 

"I'll call when I need you two again." the ring leader spoke, ash pressed a button on her keys that signalled to intelligence they needed to help, and luckily they were already there they'd been waiting, ready to pounce when they received the signal. but it wasn't just intelligence that was ready. 

in a matter of seconds, intelligence rounded the corner; Jay, Antonio, Kevin, Adam, Kim, Hailey, voight. guns raised and pointed toward the smugglers. dom and Ash raising their guns instantly joining intelligence to help the people. 

"Chicago PD! hands up!" Ash yelled, her voice stern and cold as the revving of cars got louder. 6 cars sped into the area skidding to a stop. she knew... and she didn't dare turn around. the group seeing as they're surrounded, threw their hands up dropping their weapons, shock plastered across their faces as intelligence started arresting them.
