Let's Take A Little Ride

Chapter 37 ✔️

"Now what?" I asked worriedly.

"Now we wait." he said, pulling me with him to the car.

"Son of a bitch! You made it!" We heard Roman say as huge smiles spread over our faces.

They talked a little as he said hi to everyone before asking for us.

"They weren't leaving without you." I heard Cara tell him.

When Brian walked over to us I ran into his arms. He squeezed me tightly, resting his chin on my head.

"I'm okay, I'm back." he said.

"Thank God, you need to call Mia." I told him.

"I already did and after she berated me for half an hour she just started crying and said that she loved me." he chuckled.

"It's nice to have you back buster." I told him.

"I found out what happened to Letty. It's all my fault." he said.

"Brian, whatever you found out - that's for you. What we're about to do now is for her." Dom said as we grabbed our bags to leave.

"Let's go, we've got work to do." I told my boys.

The ride to the plane was quiet, thoughts swirling around my head and I knew that both men were slightly worried.

"If you don't mind, I would like to know what happened to Letty." I told Brian when we got on the plane.

"I knew you would want to know." Dom said.

"You don't?" I asked, shooting a pointed look his way.

"Touché."

"Brian, go ahead." I told him.

"When Fenix blew up her car she wasn't inside of it, she had managed to crawl out of the wreckage. He shot the gas tank on purpose and the explosion blew her out into the embankment next to the wreck but she was still alive. Shaw went to the hospital to finish the job but she didn't remember anything." he said.

"Wait, what? She lost her memory?" I asked.

"Yeah, she had, probably has no recollection of who she really is." Brian says.

"That explains a lot. Why she shot you, why she seemed surprised when you knew so much about her. She doesn't know who she is." I told Dom, surprised at this specific turn of events.

"Damn it." he muttered.

"We've gotta go do this, we gotta get her back and show her what the truth really is. He won't get away with brainwashing her that way." I told them.

"Atta girl." Both men said.

Most of the flight was spent clowning Roman, normal passtime for all of us. About half way there we got our first uneasy update.

"Hey, I just got word that they caught one of Shaw's men at the base. It's time." Tej said.

"Something's not right . . . he wanted us to find that guy. Think about it, at Interpol you were face to face with him." Brian said to Dom.

"Brian, so what are you saying?" Roman asked.

"Braga said the only way you get near Shaw is if he wants you to." Brian said.

"Tej, where's the component now? What are they gonna do with it?" I asked.

"They're moving it to a secure location." Tej said as realization dawned on all of us.

"Shaw ain't hitting the base." Dom said.

"He's hitting the convoy." Brian and I chorused.

With that information at hand we had a little more to work with and some more time to plan out next move. We weren't completely in the dark this time and that helps us get a little edge. This time we had sort of a plan, well the schematics for a plan because with Owen Shaw nothing is guaranteed. He will not go down easy, he will not make it easy and he will fuck us up in the process, no doubt about it..
