Just because his name is "Angel" doesn't mean that he is an actual angel or you know, a good person. He's a criminal and proud of it. It doesn't help that he isn't straight. He's the noodle. Flexible. Bisexual and a criminal? Yeah. He's really toein...
"We're going to need a team," Brian says as he looks out.
"But what kind are we looking at?" Mia asks.
"People we can trust. Guys who ain't afraid to get their hands dirty," adds Dom. "We're going to need a chameleon. Someone who can blend in."
"Okay," Mia says. "What else?"
"A face they don't recognize. A front man who can look them in the eye . . . and lie like a dog."
Brian grins as he says, "I got just the guy. What about a circuit guy? Someone to wire us in."
"Demolitions. Guys who can punch through whatever walls Reyes throws up."
"Anyone else?" Mia injects. Dom nods.
"Yeah. A utility player. Someone who can backup every position and ain't shy when it comes time to throw down. And almost last but not least, we need two precision drivers. Guys who don't crack under pressure... and who never lose."
Brian shakes his head and grins. "You know we got those."
Mia has inkling. "And last?"
Dom gives her a look. "Yeah. Him. Someone who can get in anywhere. Someone who can cause distractions. Be the sly wolf."
Mia has a look of thought, while Brian looks confused, but understanding.

Bzzz bzzz bzzzz
A tan hand reaches over to clasp the buzzing phone on the nightstand next to the bed.
"I will kill you. Who is this?" A sleepy voice talks into the phone.
"Hello to you too, Lobo," the voice on the other side chuckled. The man attached to the hand bolted up into a sitting position.
"Dom! Hey. I missed you. What's up?"
"How would you feel if I told you I had a job, and that I need your help?"
"Well. When and where, hermano?"
"Rio. I'll tell you the rest as soon as you get here."

"Whiskey was his friend, he didn't have another
Vicodin his vice, his real and only lover (yup)
Smoked a pack or two, it never was a problem
Popped a pill or two, they really made him blossom (yup)"
Music could steadily be heard getting louder. It was accompanied by the sound of a motorcycle. The people inside the warehouse began to look around.
"Here he comes. We can get to introductions now."

A motorcycle comes roaring into the warehouse and screeches to a stop next to the '72 Maverick. The music shuts off the moment the bike is turned off. The helmet comes off to reveal a Latino boy beneath it. He climbed off, and before he could say anything, his phone rung. A groan left him as he dismissed the call.
"Man, I love him, but damn. I'm twenty-eight years old. I'm an adult now. You would thing Hector would lay off, but no. 'You're the only one left, Lobo. I've got to take care of you. You're family would have my ass if I didn't!'" The husky voice rang out in a rant. Dom's chuckle ripped through the silent warehouse. The hot Latino's head shot over straight towards Dom. His eyes trailed over to Brian and Mia. He strode over to the three with the air and grace of a predator.
"Mi Lobo, I missed you." Mia reaches out to embrace him once he was in reach.
"Mia. God. I missed you so much. Do not ever become wanted with out me ever again. At least don't do it when I'm in a totally different country." He pulls away from her right into Dom.
"Hector still babying you?" Dom laughs out.
"Yeah. I mean, he never babied Jesse like he does me." 'Lobo' threw his arms into the arm in exasperation.
"Well, you're the youngest now, and the only one he can keep in contact with," Brian piped in. 'Lobo' leaped into Brian's outstretched arms. "Dang, you changed in those few years I didn't see you."
"Hanging our in Colombia and England for a while will do that." A throat clears from behind them as 'Lobo' finished talking.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Brian began to point everyone out as he introduced them. "That is Tej, Roman, Gisele, Han, Tego, and Rico. Everyone, this is Angel Ortiz."
"Wait. Hold up. Your name is actually Angel?" Tej asked incredulously.
"Yeah?" Angel said uncertain of where this was about to go.
"Are you religious?" Tej continued
"Family is yes."
Rome just had to say something as well. "Do you get hit on with those "Did you fall from Heaven" pick up lines?"
"No. I have never been hit on with that pick up line. I've heard some pretty funny ones though," Angel laughed as he answered.
Han stood next to Dom gazing at Angel. Angel caught his eye as he glanced around. He rose his eyebrow in question. Han turned to Dom.
"Nice digs."
Dom's raspy voice rang out. "Yeah, well, the Ritz was sold out."
"So what's this all about Dom?" Han reaches into his bag of chips.
"Yeah man. Why'd you drag us half way around the world?" Tej asked.
