Raging Rebel - A Fast and Furious fan fiction - Book 1

14: First Exchange

Letty POV

Dom is hiding something... He's got something stupid planned and he wont tell anyone. I walked over to him and he turned to face me.

"Why does it feel like I'm not going to see you again?"

Dom's hands reached around his neck and took off his silver cross necklace. He redid the clasp around my own neck.

"I'll be coming back for that."

"Promise?" I asked with a sinking heart.

"Promise."

Eve POV

Brian walked into the room I was in, not realizing it was already occupied. I couldn't hear the person who was on the other end of his call but I guessed it was the infamous Mia I'd heard them mention a few times.

"Hey, listen. Something's about to go down. I need you to take Jack and move on... You understand what I'm saying?"

He listened for a few minutes and fell into the couch across from me. He became engrossed with what Mia was saying and still hadn't noticed me even though I was sitting right across from him.

"You know the best decision I ever made was stepping into that store and buying that first sandwich." He laughed. "I know, I ate a lot of them... I love you Mia." He held his breath as Mia talked. "Well, kiss Jack for me." He said and hung up.

He slouched in the couch and put a hand over his eyes, groaning loudly.

"I don't know why you acted that way, we're all going to be fine." I told him.

He peeked at me then but didn't seem annoyed that I'd heard his conversation or had I told him what I was thinking.

"I know. I just-" Brian looked at me, lost in thought. "She's pregnant. I don't know what to do. How to act, anything."

I stood.

"Well, you get out there and kick ass with your team. Then you go home to Mia and your kids."

He smiled and stood. He was still nervous but at least now he knew he wasn't alone. How could anyone be alone with a group as great as theirs was? But then again... I was a pro at being alone, except for Ramsey, I had no other friends.

Dom POV

It was time. We drove into the city and began formation. After nearly a full 30 minutes, the first complaint came in.

"I dunno why we've gotta keep driving around like this. Why can't we pull over, like in a bunker or something?"

"It doesn't work like that!" Eve said snippily. She wasn't our strongest driver and it was obvious she was scared shitless.

"We gotta stick close enough to the bad guys to get in range for Ramsey to hack them. And we still need to mobile enough to not get shot like fish in a barrel. So focus! Keep us from gettin' killed." He paused, and announced the arrival of Jakande.

"How many cars?" Letty asked him.

"None..." Roman piped up.

"I don't get it..." Eve said.

"Well, it could kind of be a problem." Tej said.

I looked up to see the military chopper.

"Let's give them a tour." Brian said. "Break on mark... Go!"

Eve POV

"Tej, have you hit range yet?" I asked impatiently. So far I'd almost hit a school bus, a mail box and at least half a dozen pedestrians.

"Just... About... Aaannd... In range! Ramsey, start the hack." Tej said from his car.

"Initiating now." Ramsey said from her earpiece. They were much easier for us to communicate than the walkie talkies everyone else used.

Ramsey POV

"I think we lost the chopper." I said. I heard Eve groan. "Eve, you're doing great. Just breathe."

She took a deep, exaggerated breath that I wanted to smack her for.

"We've got bigger problems than that!" Brian yelled.

"Oh my god!" I yelled as I saw the missile. Brian swerved under a tractor trailer and I screamed. "What are you doing!?"

"Going old school!"

After waiting for it to pass, he weaved back out from under the truck.

"It's coming back!" I yelled in his ear.

"Where are you? Where are you?" Eve was franticly asking.

"Shit." Brian said. "Eve, stay where you are. I need a lateral! Rome, where are you?!"

"Charging in." He said.

Dom POV

There he was, straight across the intersection. Shaw looked at me just as intently as I was eyeing him. I revved my engine and swerved to the right. Welcome to my turf, bastard.

Tires squealing around each turn, I drifted to the roof of a parking garage, turning suddenly to face him again.

Ramsey POV

"Third and Spring." Brian yelled into his walkie talkie.

"You got it." Roman said.

My iPad flashed and raised the hack percentage 12 more points.

"I'm halfway there." I said.

"Grab your computer and get in the window."

"Excuse me?" Eve screeched.

"Why?" I followed.

"Do it now! Right now!"

Heart in my throat, I did as he said. Roman's car was coming fast. Brian told me to jump and I did, adrenaline pumping. Scared and exhilarated I made myself comfortable beside Roman. With a jolt I remembered Brian and whipped my head around.

"What's going on?" Eve was asking. "Where are you? Everything good?"

I saw Brian now, he stood. He was breathing heavily but I saw no blood.

"We're fine. We're both fine." I told her.

"He made it? I can't believe we just pulled that off!" Tej said.

"We're not done yet..." Eve warned him.

"Ok, Miss Debbie Downer." Roman said.

"Oh shut up." She snapped. "Can I drive again yet?"

Dom POV

I revved again, just a quick warning before flooring the gas pedal. The front of my charger left the ground, coming down hard on his windshield. I reversed until my car was back onto four wheels and got out of my car. I couldn't wait to make him pay.

Hobbs POV

So sick of this hospital... I just want to get out of here. Clicking through mindless tv channels did nothing. Suddenly, something of interest caught my eye.

"-Can only be described as vehicular warfare. Police are engaged in high speed pursuit-"

The signal cut out and white noise filled the screen. I stood and chuckled to myself.

"That damn Toretto..." I muttered.
