"Hello Kitty's awake." Letty announces once Ramsey started groaning. "She don't look like a hacker to me." Rome says to Tej. "Oh, yeah? And what do hackers look like?" Tej asks him sort of offended. "They don't supposed to look like that. I'm just saying like, you know how they normally wear them little weird glasses that's all crooked, pimples all over they face from drinking soda? I mean, trust me, with a body like that, ain't gonna park it behind a computer."
Brian walks over to Ramsey before kneeling down next to her. "How you feeling? Did you hit your head?" She nodded. "Feeling nauseous? Ears ringing?" She shook her head before looking at her foot "Where's my shoe?" She asks "Oh, it flew off when you crashed. If you start experiencing any of those things, let me know, okay?" Brian tells her before walking away. "I don't know whether to thank you for rescuing me or kick your ass for throwing me off a cliff."
"Thank us or kick our ass, huh? How 'bout you tell us where that device is?" Gianna tells her making her take a deep breath "I mailed it to a friend in Abu Dhabi." Ramsey answers. "That was pretty easy." Brian says. "The other team would have tortured you for that information." "I didn't trust them. I trust you."
"Now, why would you trust us? You barely know us." Letty asks her. "I know enough. Ex-cop. Military, something like that. The way you took out them guys shows training." She says as she looks at Brian before turning to Tej. "Tech guy. Offended by the hacker remark, naturally." Her attention moves to Dom "Alpha." then to Letty "Mrs. Alpha" then to Gianna "Leader next to him, siblings" she motions to Dom "also tech" then to Rome. "Joker." "Wrong. Double Alpha. Man candy. You know what I'm saying?"
"Man, sit your candy ass down, man." Tej tells him. "The disrespect is real around here." Rome says as he sits back down. "Life is binary. Zeroes and ones. Only two things keep a group like this together fear or loyalty. And I don't see a drop of fear among you guys." Ramsey finishes. "Very impressive. Just one thing. They not married." Tej says before Rome interrupts. "She's so off, it's crazy. You just gotta roll with it? You telling me there can't be a double alpha in one group?"
"You work for U.S. government?" Ramsey asks making Letty laugh. "We got similar interests." Dom tells her "Tej, call it in. We're going to the Middle East." Gianna says before hopping off the bench, pressing a kiss to Tej's cheek and following after Dom.
Brian makes his way over to Gianna and Dom as Dom puts his jacket over a sleeping Letty. "Hey, it was pretty wild on that mountain, huh?" Brian asks as he sits down on one of the crates in the plane. "Nah, it was too close." Dom answers him. "But we got the job done." Gianna smiles making Brian laugh. "You know what the crazy thing is..." He begins "You miss the bullets." Gianna finishes for him.
"Yeah, that's messed up, huh?" Brian asks with a laugh. "Brian, I've seen you jump from trains, dive from planes. Hell, I saw your courage the day I met you." Dom tells him. "Right." Brian says with a smile "Wanna know the bravest thing I ever saw you do?" Gianna asks him. "Be a good man to Mia. Being a great father to our nephew Jack. Everyone's looking for the thrill, but what's real is family." She says. "Your family. Hold on to that, Brian."
