Been a long time coming. Happy Toretto Tuesday, ya'll.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

***Miami***

A cup of coffee was refilled. A blonde woman picks it up and sips at it.

She looks up and watches as Dom and Letty are walking down the street.

"What's your status?" She said Into her earpiece.

"Eyes on the target. Ready when you are."

Cipher continues to watch as the Toretto couple continued to walk along the people-filled street. Them being shot down within a crowd like this? It'd be just another random sniper shot on a criminal.

"Do it."

She waits, two seconds pass...nothing happens. Dom and Letty keep walking along in the crowd.

"Take the shot." She ordered again in a whispered tone.

Cipher expected to see two things. Dom fall dead, and civilians running around in fear at the sound of the gunshot. But five seconds later, still, nothing happened.

Everything was still normal.

"Take the shot!" What was waiting he for? Was he deaf, dumb, or both?

"Take the damn shot!" She exclaimed in a slightly louder, but still whispered tone. "What're you waiting for, you idiot?!"

"I'm sorry, your sniper is unavailable at the moment. Can I take a message?" A familiar voice asked.

A chill ran down her spine as she looked up through some binoculars to the rooftop where the sniper should be. But instead of seeing the sniper, the man she saw was the buff, bald DSS agent. The Samoan Thor himself, Luke Hobbs.

He waved two fingers down to her with a confident smirk on his face.

She put down the binoculars, but kept her gaze upward. Anger and annoyance ignited inside of her. But something else did too. And it only accelerated when her phone vibrated on the table.

Looking at it, the Caller ID read 'Unknown Caller'. Skeptical, she answered it and lifted it to her ear.

"Feel bad about taking your foot of the tiger's neck yet?" Another all too familiar deep voice asked.

Another chill came when she looked back to where Dom was and saw him on his phone, looking right at her.

"Sometimes the hunter gets another shot, Dom." She replied, still keeping up her fearless persona.

"Woman, I think you're all outta bullets." Hobbs cut in.

"Ya know, Cipher," Brian's voice could be heard cutting in, "When you go hunting, you better make sure that the prey isn't in a pack. Cause if they are, you're screwed."

For some reason, hearing that made her feel the need to look around. As she did, she just saw normal crowds of people walking.

But out of nowhere, Dom's teammates started to appear within the crowd. First Brian. Then Tej. Then Roman, and Little Nobody. Pretty soon, she was surrounded.

Only one thing came to mind. Run.

She ran into the crowds, knocking people down as she did. Running almost a block and a half before she made it to her car.

Opening the door, jumping in, starting it as fast as she could and reviving out of there.

She drove through traffic. Running red lights and causing other cars to SCURRT and  accidentally hitting other cars. After ten minutes of driving and running more red lights, she finally stopped at one for once.
