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

Feels Like Home

The team was meeting with Hobbs in the NATO base.

Brian and Mia didn't let go of one another.

Anna was holding Jo's hand with one of hers, holding the briefcase toward Hobbs with the other. "So this is worth billions, huh?"

Hobbs took the briefcase. "Yes, it is. Name your price."

Everyone looked at each other.

Dom looked from Brian, Mia, Letty and Anna to Hobbs. "1327."

Tej and Roman exchanged a confused look.

Hobbs looked at them in confusion.

       ✯   

Several cars were parked outside of the old Toretto house in east LA. The address was 1327.

The team were all back in the backyard, barbecuing.

Roman looked at Tej. "Don't burn it this time, please."

Brian and Mia had Jack with them.

"Okay, so the air quality here is lousy, the traffic's bad, but, uh, I think you'll learn to like this place," Brian told him.

"Yeah, 'cause here you got your own garage, so you can build a car with Daddy," Mia told him.

"You wanna build a car?" Brian asked.

"First car better be a Charger, Jack," Dom told him.

"You--you mean a Skyline," Brian told him.

Letty chuckled.

"Like I said, he's a Toretto," Dom told them.

"You're confusing the kid," Brian told him.

"Mia, you really gonna let him get away with this?" Dom asked.

Mia smiled.

Roman looked at Han. "You really gonna do it? Tokyo?"

"Yeah," Han answered. "There's just something I gotta do."

"You know we got your back," Tej told him. "Whenever you need us."

Han raised his Corona toward them.

Hobbs and Elena walked closer.

"Hey, Mia, better hide your baby oil," Roman told her. Jo chuckled. Roman held a hand toward Hobbs. "I'm just playing."

Tej took a drink of Corona.

"You better hide that big-ass forehead," Hobbs told him.

Jo laughed.

Tej spit out his beer from laughing too hard.

"I was just joking, but whatever," Roman told them. "Definitely not that funny."

Hobbs turned to Anna, Letty, Brian, Mia and Dom. "It's official. You're all free." Tej and Roman did a handshake. Dom looked toward Elena. Hobbs turned to look over all of them. "It wasn't half bad, having you work for me."

Jo chuckled. "Now, we all know you were working for us, Hobbs."

Anna smiled a small smile. "Agree to disagree." She looked at Hobbs. "Thank you."

"Good luck," Hobbs told them.

Letty walked toward Elena. "Hello, Elena."

"Letty," Elena told her.

Tej and Roman were watching.

"That's gotta be awkward," Tej told him.

"But sexy as hell," Tej and Roman told them.

Letty looked at Elena. "I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for him. For us. Takes an amazing woman."

"He's an amazing guy," Elena told him.

Elena and Letty looked toward Dom.

Letty nodded. "Yeah, he is."

"Try to keep him out of trouble, hmm?" Elena asked.

Letty chuckled, shaking her head. "Now, you know that's not gonna happen."

Letty took a drink of Corona.

Elena smiled a small smile. "I know."

Jo looked at Hobbs. "You think this makes us even?"

"We'll see when later times roll around," Hobbs told him. "Until next time."

Jo smirked. "Until next time."

Hobbs turned around, walking away.

Elena turned to follow.

Dom walked closer. "Elena." Elena turned back. "You know you don't have to go."

Elena looked around. "All this, this is your family. It's who you are." She held the badge that hung from a chain around her neck. "This is my family. This is who I am."

Elena smiled a small smile, kissing Dom on the cheek, backing away, turning around, walking away, leaving.

Dom watched her go.

"All right everybody, let's eat," Tej told them.

Tej and Roman set out food on the table.

"You need some help with that?" Anna asked.

"It's all here," Roman told them. "It's done." Brian pulled out a chair for Mia to sit down in. Mia was holding Jack. "Come on, man."

Anna sat down at the table next to Jo.

Jo picked up a chip from the table, eating.

Anna pointed at Jo, smiling. "First bite. You've got grace. House rules, Jo. House rules."

Everyone but Dom and Letty sat at the table.

"Any of this feel familiar to you?" Dom asked.

Letty took a moment to think about her answer. "No. But it feels like home."

Dom smiled a small smile. "That's good enough for me."

Dom and Letty sat down at the table. 

"All right, guys, let's do this," Jo told them.

"Okay, Jo," Anna told him. "Bless our table."

Everybody took each other's hands to stay grace before eating, exchanging smiles.

Jo hung his head. "Father, thank you for the gathering of friends. Father, we give thanks for all the choices we've made because that's what makes us who we are. Let us forever cherish the loved ones we've lost along the way. Thank you for the little angel, the newest addition to our family. Thank you for bringing Letty home. Thank you for helping Anna get justice for her parents. And most of all, thank you for fast cars."
