I woke up with a pounding headache. I groaned, but winced as the noise made my headache worse. I went to move my arm, but I couldn't. I could feel the rope tied around my wrist. I finally took a look at my surroundings.

I feel as if I'm in a car, but it also doesn't feel like a car. I then remembered seeing a plane before blacking out after the blonde took me away from the army base. As my vision finally got clear, I saw there was a ton of boxes surrounding me. I looked to my left to see that there were in fact more boxes behind me.

My cheek aches. I know there's for sure gonna be a bruise, if there already isn't one. There was no one here with me(at least that I could see, anyway). With my hands behind my back, I tried breaking the rope. It was a failure.

"Fuck." I mumbled in frustration. It struck me that I still had my car keys in my back pocket. I lifted up a bit, attempting to reach my back pocket. I could feel part of the key. I grabbed it and sat back down.

I fumbled with the keys and started to rub the key against the rope, trying to cut it loose. This is going to take a while. I tried to quicken my pace, not knowing when someone would show up - if anyone would show up.

When I heard footsteps heading my way, I started to panic. I quickly put my keys back in my pocket, hoping the rope had been untied enough. I tried pulling my arms apart. The rope felt a lot looser than before. All I had to do was tug really hard and it would break.

"Look who's up." I heard someone with a thick accent say. I looked up to see the blonde from earlier, along with a guy the size of three Hobbs put together accompanying her. She smirked at me as I clenched my jaw. "Get up." She ordered.

I slowly stood up, staying silent. The huge guy grabbed my arm as the blonde began leading us somewhere. He followed in suit, dragging me along with him. We walked into a clearing similar to the place where I had just came from, boxes everywhere. The only difference was that there's like three cars, and Shaw and Riley are here.

"Riley?" I asked in disbelief, my eyebrows knitted together. She simply smirked and pulled her gun out. She cocked it and walked over to stand about thirteen feet away from me.

Before anything could happen, a car flew up the ramp and didn't stop, hitting Riley. The car stopped after they had done so. My eyes widened. I could see through the windshield that it was Dom and Brian. I tugged hard at the rope and it broke.

The huge guy no longer had a grip on me. I punched the blonde in the face as hard as I could, then made a run for it. I heard gun shots and picked up my pace. With all these damn boxes, it felt like I was running through a maze.

I knew the blonde would be following somewhere behind me, so I didn't bother looking back. Not too far back, I could hear someone cock their gun. I swallowed hard and hid behind some boxes. Once I heard footsteps coming my way, I snuck away, running the opposite way.

I kept hearing gun shots, not knowing where they were coming from, or if someone was actually getting shot. It made me really nervous. I looked behind me to see Shaw running my way.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, then started to make my way through the maze of cargo on this damn plane. My heart pounded against my chest.

"Tell him to take off!" I could hear Shaw yell. I assumed he was talking to the blonde, since she was traveling close behind. I ran faster as I heard Shaw's footsteps grow closer and closer.

Out of no where, I heard the sound of someone fighting. Then I heard it again. I stopped and turned around, feeling relief wash over me to see Brian punching the shit out of Shaw. They continued fighting until Shaw knocked Brian down. Shaw grabbed a metal pipe that was leaning against the wall. My heart stopped.
