"GUESS we'll have to wait and see!"

"Guys, I got eyes on Shaw he just took a left!" Hobbs said over the com.

"Ding ding, there's our answer." Salem muttered. She jumped down onto the bonnet of the car before jumping forward onto the next, and then to the side.

Brian shook his head at her recklessness. "You're gonna get yourself killed!" He yelled at her.

"A girl can dream!" She yelled back. She stood up on the roof of the minivan, wobbling slightly before she saw her target, she jumped onto the roof of her fathers car before climbing inside.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked.

Salem refused to look at him, knowing her anger would her the best of her if she did. "Avoiding a car crash!" She responded.

Dom took a sharp left down a split off, Hobbs not far behind. They followed him down a street with light up polls running down the middle. Shaw swerved in and out of them while the two cars remained on his tail.

Dom crashed through the lights and banged into Shaws side. Another car bashed into Salems side and she hissed, "Fucker!"

"Lettie." Dom corrected, breaking away from Shaw to go after her.

He busted in her corner to make her stop while Hobbs continued after Shaw. The moment the cars stopped Salem, Dom and Lettie jumped out of the car.

"Lettie-" Dom began, walking forward. He was stopped, however, by the brunette shooting him in the shoulder.

A happy noise escaped Salems throat and she clapped her hands together. "That's true love right there."

The confused Latina woman gave her and her black tank dirty looks before climbing back into her car and speeding off.

"You good?"

"Yeah." Lettie muttered, her eyes gazing at the computer screen in front of Shaw.

"Okay. Listen up!" He said, drawing everyone's attention and walking towards the table in the centre of the room. "That was a very different breed then Hobbs' usaul wanna be warriors."

"We need to know who these people are, know what they're made of. Mae?" He continued, taking a stack of files from the blonde. "O'Connor, Parker, Pierce, Toretto, these other two and her, goes by the alias Salem, real name is Camilla Toreto, she's nineteen."

"These guys are common criminals." One of them spoke up.

"Tonight these common crimnals were seconds away from taking us down." Shaw dismissed. "Show them the respect they deserve or it weakens us."

"Even her?" The one next to him asked, pointing at the picture of Salem. "She's a kid."

"That kid jumped through six cars and didn't get hit once." Mae muttered, "And she's broken out of more prisons then you've even been in."

"You might wanna see this." The same one muttered, handing Shaw a photo from Dom's file. He glanced at it before looking at Lettie, "Ring any bells?"

She walked forward. "Yeah, that's the guy I shot."

"You look happy."

"I don't remember."

"That's bullshit." A large, tattooed man said. "We've got a problem guys. That picture of her, with that guy who almost took you on."

"Aren't you team muscle?" Lettie growled, "Don't make me go over there and make you team pussy."

"She doesn't remember him." Shaw finally spoke. "Names and records aren't enough, I want personal information. All of their lives, their minds. Find all their weaknesses and exploit them."

"I'm just playing man, we know you're the prettiest blonde around here."

Salem, Hobbs and his partner drove into the warehouse Dom and his crew were staying in. "Alright, lock it up!" Hobbs started, jumping out. Salem rolled her eyes and leaned against the door.

"We got two things. First is, this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime, they got cameras on every street corner. We've got video footage and CC tv let's track em."

"Second we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol. They ripped off a data base of every location that houses the final component that they need." Hobbs finished.

"So where they at?" Brian asked, nodding in greeting to Salem. They simple gesture threw her off guard before she nodded back.

"Their are over two thousand of them around Europe."

"But the list is only good for ninety six hours. Which means wherever Shaw's crew's gonna hit next it's gonna happen within the next four days." He added. "He's got a window and so do we. We've gotta move."

"Hobbs is right." Dom piped up. "We've gotta break this down. We met him, what do we think?"

As the team began theorizing, Dom broke away and pulled Hobbs to the side. "What's wrong?"

"Why do you know I have a daughter but I didn't?" He asked, his eyes flickering over to his team.

"I'm not exactly the type of person you wanna hear it from, Toreto." Hobbs said, well aware the girl they were talking about stood the other side of the car.

"Can you tell my about her at least?"

"Has a thing for arson, one of the best I've ever seen at hand to hand combat." Hobbs began. "Good at breaking out of prisons. Highly unpredictable and dangerous."

A smirk spread over Doms face. "That's my girl."

Giselle, Salem, Roman, Han and Hobbs' partner approached the shop where they suspected Shaw had got his cars from.

Salem had narrowed it down as much as she could, but she didn't really know London.

"Alright, this is number five on our list."

"Holy shit," Roman said as they watched the blonde shoot at a stone pillar. "What's the dude planning on hunting? Mobey Dick?"

"That must be our guy." Han said, "So how do we all wanna play this?"

"We could just shoot him from here, take out his legs so he can't run and refuse to take him to the hospital until he spills." Salem suggested.

The four gave her disturbed looks. "No, that's just wrong, Sal." Roman said, shaking his head.

"No, what's wrong is the size of that nose. It puts Pinocchio to shame."

"Hey!"

"Alright you two, flirt later."

"There's one thing you boys are forgetting." Giselle interrupted. "He's a man."
