One Down /// Furious 6 /// Book Four

Recon

Dom's team met up at the office.

"This is crazy," Roman told them. "We are not in Brazil. So, now we got cars flying in the air some 007 type shit? This is not what we do."

"Man, you really got to check that emotion," Tej told him. "Your voice just went from Shaggy to Scooby-Doo. 'This is not what we roo-roo-roo.'"

Han and Giselle smiled.

"Man, when a woman starts shooting at you, that's a clear sign to back the fuck off," Roman told them. "We need to get the hell out of Dodge." He gestured to his crashed car. "That could have been my forehead, man."

Jo looked from Roman's crashed car to Roman. "Nah. That's not as big as your forehead."

Jo walked away.

Tej laughed.

Roman gave him a look he didn't see.

Han and Giselle smiled.

Roman felt along his head.

Brian was pacing away from everybody, on the phone. "Mia, it's, uh, it's definitely Letty." Mia was at home with baby Jack. "But, it's, uh... it's complicated."

Jack clapped his hands, smiling widely.

"Letty's alive," Mia told him. "That's all that matters. Bring her back, Brian."

"Well, do me a favor and give Jack a kiss goodnight for me," Brian told her.

"Of course," Mia told him.

"I love you, Mia," Brian told her.

"I love you, too," Mia told him.

Brian hung up, sighing.

Dom was away from everybody, using tools to pull the bullet out of his shoulder, wincing in pain, putting a cloth over his gunshot wound to stop the bleeding. He let the bullet fall into a metal container on the table in front of him.

Anna walked closer. "And she definitely saw it was you?"

"She looked right at me, Anna," Dom told her. "Maybe the Letty we once knew is gone. Even though she's alive, maybe she's gone."

"You don't turn your back on family," Anna told him. "Even when they do. I'm doing this for my family, Dom, Letty included. I'm not going to walk away."

Dom shook his head. "I'm not, either. Not until we get what we came for."

Anna nodded barely.

Roman took some candy bars from the broken vending machine. "This is crazy, man."

"What are you talking about now?" Tej asked.

Roman looked at the information on Owen Shaw and his team. "I'm sitting here looking at these images. It's like we're hunting our evil twins." He pointed at Ivory's picture. "I mean, look at this black dude right here. He's handsome. That's obviously me." He pointed at Oakes' picture, which was overrode with DECEASED. "Clearly, that's Dom." He pointed at Klaus' picture. "We got a white Hobbs." He pointed at Adolfson's picture with a military rifle.  "An uglier, less experienced version of Jo." He pointed at Jah's picture. "This is Han." He stopped in front of Delinger's picture. "Tej, it's an African in a beanie. That's like your mini-me, man." He pointed at Vegh's picture. "And this girl is a Caucasian version of Giselle." He pointed at Letty's picture. "Of course, sister like sister, this is Anna." He pointed at Owen. "And a guy with training, that's Brian."
