25.
The next day, Han tries the track after Gianna was still the only one able to make it without trouble. "Close, but not enough." Gisele tells him. "Dom, the window's too small, man. The only way we're going to beat the camera is with invisible cars." Gianna's changes her attention to what Han says, Dom having the exact same idea. "I know just where to get 'em" Dom says as he shuts the hood to the car. "Let's take a ride boys." Gianna smiles, slightly running down the stairs.
Gisele drives by the police station as Gianna, Dom, Han, Brian, and Rome all climb onto the car, where they were able to get over the fence. They each get into a car. Pulling up to a red light, "It's been awhile since I've been behind the wheel of one of these." Brian says as he looks at the dash. "First time I've ever been in the front seat." Dom says, Gianna agreeing.
Han and Rome pull up on the right side of Gianna. "Hey,Rome, what took you so long? I thought for sure you'd be showing up with some chrome spinners or something." Brian teases making Rome sarcastically laugh. "Real funny." he says picking up the radio "I got 100,000 says I can take you all in the next quarter mile." Brian raises his eyebrows. "Yeah, your broke ass has got a hundred grand."
"We pull off this job, I will. The next two lights, 100,000" Rome continues speaks over the radio. "If we don't pull this job off, we're probably dead anyway. Let's make it a million." Han says making Gianna look around at the other two. "I like that. All right, a million dollar quarter mile." Brian says as Dom smiles.
"All right, then." Han agrees. "You only live once. Let's do it." Rome says over the radio causing Gianna to laugh. "What do you say, Gianna?" Brian asks. "We talking or we racing?" "Just don't cheat this time." Gianna smiles "You gotta let that go." she says as she starts revving her engine along with the rest of them.
They all wait for the light to turn green, Rome takes off just before the light actually turns green with his sirens on. "Ah, typical, Roman." Brian shakes his head. He pulls up next to Dom and Gianna. She quickly shifts, pulling ahead of all of them. "Don't make it too easy for me, boys."
"Gotta want it, Brian." Dom says looking over at him. Han pulls up next to the other three leaving Rome behind them. As they approach the light, Gianna looks over at the others letting off the throttle as well as the other three letting Brian win. The five pull into the building getting out of the cars. Brian smiles as Gianna looks over at him. "Good race, O'Conner." "Thanks, Gi."
"You know how long I've been waiting for that shit?" Brian says turning to Rome and Han. "Your people right there, they let off the throttle at the line. They didn't do nothin'. They let you win." Rome tells him walking away. Brian laughs not believing him. "Bullshit." his smiles quickly fades as both Rome and Han walk away.
The next morning, Mia is getting food at the market for the team when someone grabs her. "Vince, what're you doing?" She asks as he picks her up. "Quiet, they've been tracking you." Vince tells her as cars pull up with men jumping out of them. Mia lead him Vince back to the hideout once they're out of sight from Reyes' men.
Rome is first to see them, quickly noticed by Brian who is putting air in the tire on the cop car. He stands up, walking over. "No, it's okay. Hey, wait. Reyes' guys were waiting for me at the market. Vince saved my life." Mia defends as Vince nods. "You hungry?" Gianna asks from where she, Dom and Han were looking over the blueprints.
"Yeah, sure." Vince answers. "Good. 'Cause you're saying grace." Dom tells him. Brian sticks his hand out "Thanks, Vince." they shake hands.
Some time later, Tego and Santos are arguing as they cook. "Yo, you burned it!" Santos tells him looking at the meat. "Yo, this is how my mama does it. Relax" "Yeah, but your mom is the worst cook in the world." "Yo, don't you be talking about my mama." Tego defends sticking the last piece of meat onto the plate Santos has.
"Cheers, cheers, cheers." Rome, Han, Tej, and Gianna all sit around the little coffee table. "So, we're in Brazil, it's the good life. So you got 10 million comin'. What are you going to do with your money." Rome asks. "Me?" Tej questions. "Actually, man, I've been thinking about opening up a garage back home. A place where people can bring their cats and not get completely ripped off, you know what I mean?" Tej explains making Rome frown. "Really? So your dream is to start a day job? That's stupid, like, why"
"It's not stupid, it's actually a decent way to spend your money. Rome you know you would take your cars there." Gianna defends making Tej wrap an arm around her shoulders bringing her in. "I love what I do." Santos walks over holding the burnt meat. "I know what I'm going to do with my money. Buy some cooking lessons for my man." he sets the plate down, obviously judging the way it looks.
"See, see? There you go with that negativity, man. You know me. Money ain't a goddamn thing." Tego says as Rome picks up a piece of meat inspecting it. "It's gonna take a little more than money to learn how to cook, bro. That's.. that's horrible. But I heard they was looking for a chef down at this animal shelter. I know the manager." Gianna laughs which makes Tej smile at her. She kisses his cheek before getting up walking over to Dom, Rome and Tej both watching her. "Hey, don't get any ideas" Tej warns Rome whose eyes are still trained on Gianna.
"What's up, big bro" Gianna says getting Dom's attention. "What's it look like?" He asks picking up his beer, taking a sip. "It looks like you're hardly working." She jokes making him put her in a headlock. It reminded her of when they were kids and they would always use to play fight with each other. "Hey, I noticed the way Tej looks at you." Dom says letting her go. Gianna raises an eyebrow making him continue, "As your brother, I'm telling you that you should make it happen. He's good for you." She smiles. "Yeah, but don't think I haven't seen the way you look at Elena." Gianna teases making Dom shoo her away. "Get outta here." he laughs.
