I sit on the rail, leaning up against a column on the porch with my feet on the rail, clearing my head. I have an earphone in and hum along to Lindsey Stirling's Violin.

Dom walks out onto the porch and I remove my head phones. Im glad I never unpacked my bag, because I still have all my things.

Dom doesn't talk, but looks over the rail on the other side of the column im leaning on.

Brian sits in a chair.

"What do you remember about your father?" He asks, to seemingly either of us.

"Don't ask me that, if you want a good answer at least," I say, barely smiling at my morbid humor.

"Sorry,"He says, apologizing for reminding me of my biological father.

"Its fine, I mostly make morbid jokes about it just to see how uncomfortable people get. Most of the time its fucking hilarious,"  I say, smiling at memories of really uncomfortable people.

"Thats fucked up," Dom says from behind me, chuckling lightly.

"Cant disagree with that,"  Brian says, laughing too.

"What about you, Dom? Im pretty sure yours is better than mine,"

He laughs and says,

"My father," He pauses thinking of what to say"Used to have a barbecue every Sunday after church. For anybody in the neighborhood. If you didnt go to church you didnt get any barbecue." Me and brian let out half laugh-half sighs.

"Every single day he was at the shop, and every night, he was at the kitchen table, helping Mia with her homework. Even after she went to sleep, he stay up for a few more hours, so he could learn the next chapter and help her the next day. I remember everything about my father, everything."

"Thats just it," Brian says," I dont remember shit about my dad. I dont remember him yelling, i dont remember him smiling. To be honest with you guys I dont remember what the hell he looked like. I dont remember, he just... was never there,"

"You won't be like that, Brian," I say.

They look at Mia inside, whos asleep in one of the chairs, seeing as its almost 2 am.

"We cant keep running, Dom," Brian says, "We got to get out, We got to get out now,"

"You're right, for her and Lorea's sake," Dom says. I sigh, remembering what it was like those first two years i was with Dom and Mia. "Heres how were gonna do it." I turn to look at him, he holds the chip from the GT40. "We're gonna use this. We're going to do one last job. We're going to take all of Reyes' money, every dime of it, and dissapear. Forever.

"New passports, new lives with no more looking over our shoulder,"Brian says.

"We're just going to buy our freedom," I say.

"That's right," Dom responds.

"You realize that we're going up against the most powerful guy in all of Rio?" Brian asks.

"Yes we are."

"Then were going to need a team," I say.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We walk out onto the wrap around porch of a new building. I brush my hair behind my ear and lean against the rail next to Dom.

"Alright lets run through the bases real quick, Who do we got?"

"First we're going to need a chameleon, someone who can blend in, anywhere,"

"What else?" Mia asks.

"A fast talker, someone who can bullshit their way out of anything,"

"I got that," Brian says.

"Distracters, people who can take attention away from us."

"Damien," I say,"When I last heard from him he was running from shitty car job in NYC," I say.

Dom nods.

"This guy has got to have a lot of surveillance we're going to need someone whos good with circuits," Mia says.

"And with those circuits Reyes is going to have walls. We're going to need guys to punch through those walls," Dom says.

"What else?" I ask.

"Utilities and weapons, someone who isn't afraid to throw down."

Me and Dom share a knowing look.

Gisele.

"Yeah, what else we need?" Brian asks.

"Most importantly, we're going to need 3 precision drivers, people who dont crack under pressure, people who never lose,"

Me and Brian smile.

"You know we got that,"
