23.

Rome made his way back to the parking garage where Tej, Brian, and Gianna sat in the van. "It's done. See I think I make a better special agent than you ever did." Rome laughs. "Well, that depends on how you define 'special'." Gianna smiles smacking the back of his head "Come on, now, let's see what we got." Tej says making them turn their attention the screen.

Tej picks up the controller, using it to knock the box off the shelf, the toy landing on the ground. "Oh, you still can't drive." Rome makes fun of the failed attempts at driving  "See, now I see why you always gettin' into accidents." He continues insulting Tej's driving while Gianna is trying really hard not to laugh. "You can't even drive a damn remote control car" "I'm gonna need you to shut up right now, I'm trying to concentrate."

"Give me the remote, dawg. Go left, it looks like something right over there to the left. What is that?" Tej turns left "What is that? Bingo." "What is that, six-by-six?" Brian asks "Eight-by-twelve." Rome guesses making Gianna shake her head. "Seven-by-twelve." Tej tilts his head over to her "Fitted with 18-inch thick steel reinforced walls with an insulated copper core to protect against thermal lance." she continues allowing Tej to step in once she finishes.

"A class three electronic lock with a surefire Griffin re-tumbler and biometric palm scanner." Brian looks back at Rome to see if he knows what Tej is talking about. "Ten tons of top of the line security."Gianna finishes "Do I want to know how you both know all that?" Brian asks "I had a life before you knew me, O'Conner. Let's just leave it at that, all right? She is a beauty, though, man." Tej says making Rome smile "A beauty as in good?" he questions.

"A beauty as in she gonna start off playing hard to get, and no matter how much I caress her, no matter how much I love her, in the end, she still ain't gonna give up that ass." Tej makes eye contact with Gianna as the other two laugh.

Mia is sitting at the desk with the computer in front of her waiting for Tego and Santos to connect to the police stations security cameras. "Got it, We got!" Mia spoke as the camera feed popped up on the screen. "Yeah, hey, we're looking at four cameras." Brian says from right next to her. "That's some high-end shit, too." Han says looking at cameras. "Marker optics. Hundred-degree field of view, ten seconds oscillation."

"Yeah, that's a narrow window, man." Brian says in agreement making Gisele ask "Can't we just tap in and replace the image?" "Nah, it's hooked into a digital sync." Both Gianna and Tej say at the same time making the rest of the team look at the two, Tej lets her continue. "They'd know we were in the system. The best we can do is peek." Tej looks at her impressed with her knowledge. "We're gonna need some real fast cars to get through this." Rome says making Han cut in "Not just fast. We got a hard right and a hairpin. We're gonna need something agile." Rome nods

"You guys mock up a track." Gianna tells the team "O'Conner.. let's go get some cars." Dom smiles. "Right." Brian gets up following the two out of the building. "You got it good, man. Just don't hurt her cause then I'll have to take her from you." Rome tells Tej, which makes him roll his eyes. "Wasn't planning on it" Tej smirks.

"Home sweet home" Dom says as they pull up to a street race. Him and Brian look around with smiles on their faces. The three get out of the car, looking around at all the cars, trying to decide which one to race for. "Look at that. How about that?" Brian asks pointing at a blue Porsche GT3 RS. "All motor, no tuning issues. I  always wanted one of those." Gianna says looking over it.

"Held the record on the Avenida three years running. You got a lot of balls to bring your problems here, Toretto. Not to mention your sister and a cop." A man walks around from the side of the car. "Yeah, we can keep that on the low." Brian tells him.

"Word on the street is a lot of people looking for you three. What? You didn't think we'd recognize you?" Diego looks around at the crowd. "No, we're kind of counting on it." Gianna says. "That little coupe may run the streets around here. But that monster has never seen a set of taillights, ever." Dom pointed at his car.

"Well, she's about to." Diego states making Brian and Dom laugh. "Let's go. Legend... car... for car." Gianna raises an eyebrow. "Car for car." "You want it come and get it." The three share a look, Gianna walks over to the driver side opening the door and getting in. "Show 'em how a Toretto does it" Dom tells her.

Gianna drives into the building with the Porsche behind Dom. Brian and Gianna jump out of the car earning a laugh from Rome. "Really? Where'd you get that from? Papa Smurf?"
