Ride or Die /// Fast and the Furious (Movie 4) /// Book Two

Game Time

In the middle of the desert in the Dominican Republic, a semi truck was driving down the highway.

Three cars were following.

The first car held Dominic Toretto and Leticia Ortiz. Dom was driving.

The second car held Han Seoul-Oh and Anna Li. Han was driving.

The third car held Tego Calderon and Don Omar. Tego was driving.

Dom spoke to them through the radio. "All right, we're good to go." He looked at Letty. "You got this?"

"You bet your ass, bubba," Letty told him, kissing Dom, pulling herself out of the skylight of the car. "Let's make some money!"

Letty perched herself on the roof of the car.

"Everyone in position," Dom told them.

"I thought we'd be robbing banks by now, not some gas truck in the middle of nowhere," Han told them.

"Down here, gas is gold, baby," Anna told him.

Tego spoke in Spanish. "Yeah, but banks don't move."

Don spoke in Spanish. "Anytime you get near a bank, we have to break your ass out of prison."

"Kill the chatter," Dom told them.

"I wouldn't piss him off, guys," Anna told them.

Letty jumped from the hood of Dom's car to the ladder on the back of the semi truck, climbing up.

Dom drove to the left of the truck, up until he was in front of it. 

The driver in the truck looked at the lizard in his passenger seat, speaking Spanish. "Yeah, yeah, I hear you." He held his chocolate bar to toward the lizard. The lizard nearly ate it all. The driver pulled it away. "Hey, you greedy bitch."

"Okay, guys, we're gonna have to hit this hard and fast," Dom told them. "We got four K left before the downgrade."

Han drove closer to the truck, turning the back of his and Anna's truck to face the back of it, backing toward it.

Anna crawled out of the back window, out onto the back of the their truck to their tailgate hitch, latching it onto the back of the semi truck. "Locked and loaded!"

Letty jumped down between the trailers of the semi truck, onto the hitch, climbing another ladder. 

The driver started to honk its horn at Dom.

Dom smirked.

Letty sprayed freeze sprayer over the trailer hitch. "This is all you, Hanna."

"You did not just go there," Anna told her.

Letty smiled, slamming a hammer over the frozen hitch, making it shatter. "Liquid gold."

Two of the trailers were separated from the others.

Anna climbed back into the truck with Han.

"We're clear," Han told them.

"Okay, T, you're up," Dom told him.

Tego drove faster toward the truck.

"Let's see if you can get it under six tries this time, huh, T?" Han asked.

Tego spoke in Spanish. "What are you talking about? I'll do it in one try!"

"It's more like three," Anna told him. "Come on, Tego, keep it real."

Tego turned the back of his truck to face the back of the semi truck.

Don climbed out of the back window, on the tailgate, grabbing the hitch, hesitated.

"There's one K left," Dom told them. "We're running out of road. Get in there, brother."

"I got it, I got it," Tego told them, backing toward the back of the semi truck.

The driver saw Letty on the top of the truck in the review mirror.

Don latched the tailgate hitch onto the back of the semi truck, laughing.

The driver started to drive faster.

"Shit!" Dom told them. The driver bumped the semi into the back of Dom's car, making Letty lose her balance, falling off the truck. Letty barely managed to grab hold of the ladder at the back of the trailer to keep from falling. "T, cut loose! Unhitch, unhitch!" The driver bumped the semi into the back of Dom's car, making him swerve over the road. He grabbed a shotgun, shooting Dom's window, making it shatter, but otherwise missing him. Dom got the car back under control. Letty was hanging onto the ladder for dear life, managing to climb back up. Dom drove alongside Tego and Don, speaking in Spanish. "Don't be crazy, lose your load!"

Don spoke in Spanish. "What do you think I'm trying to do?"

Dom spoke in Spanish. "Idiot, just release!" They started to head down the downgrade in the road. Dom caught up to where Letty was on the truck. "Spray that hitch!"

"I don't have a hammer!" Letty told him.

"Just do it," Dom told her.

Letty sprayed the hitch with freeze spray.

The driver swerved the semi.

Don was trying to hold onto Tego's truck.

"Hold on, hold on!" Tego told them.

Don climbed into the truck.

Dom looked at Letty. "Hold onto something tight!" Letty held onto the ladder on the back of the truck for dear life. Dom spun the car around to drift into the hitch, making it shatter and the trailer connect to Tego and Don's truck. Dom reached toward Letty. "Give me your hand!"

"I can't reach!" Letty told him.

"You got to jump!" Dom told her. At the bottom of the downgrade in the road was a sharp turn that none of them could make at the rate they were going. The driver tried to pull the semi truck over completely, but it didn't stop. Dom backed away. The driver grabbed the lizard, jumping out of the truck to the side of the road. Dom made it back to Letty. They tried to reach other but couldn't. "Jump! Letty, you gotta jump!" The sharp turn at the end was getting closer and closer. "I've got you!"

Letty jumped from the back of the truth onto Dom's hood. Dom reached out of the window to catch her arm so he could keep her up.

The semi bumped into them, nearly making her fall off.

Dom backed away enough of a distance.

Letty crawled into the passenger seat of his car.

The semi truck flipped over and over and over.

Dom continued to back away as the danger got closer and loser to them. He stopped at the turn at the bottom of the downgrade.

The semi truck flipped down toward them, firing and bursting as it went.

Dom didn't move the car.

"Dom," Letty told him. Dom put the car into gear. The flipping semi truck got closer to crushing them. "Dom?" Dom readied the car, but didn't move yet. "Dom!"

Just when the flipping semi truck was close enough, Dom sped by from underneath to the other side, into safety.

The semi truck reached the turn at the end, crashing through the barrier, falling off the cliff.

The team drove away, leaving.
