"BIG brother's about to go live."

With Brian gone to L.A to interrogate Braga, the most interesting thing Salem had to do was watch Tej set up the live feed for all the London CCTV.

"Jesus Christ..." She whispered, staring at the screens.

"Damn, you can't flick a bugger in London without somebody noticing." Tej said.

Salem snickered before glancing at Roman. "What you up to, Pinocchio?"

"You think Tej' would mind if I tried this?" He whispered, eyes on the back of said mans head. "One way to find out." She whispered back.

He picked it up and aimed. Barely a second later Tej was out of his seat and walking round, "Hey! Don't touch that, that ain't nothing to play with, man."

"What's the problem?" Roman asked.

"That's a high tensiltanium cable."

"What does that mean?"

"That's what they use to anchor buildings and hold up bridges. Stuff you don't know nothing about. See now their version, it works cool. But mine? Masterpiece. See I reversed the gears, twerked the motor, and added this tank to the back."

"That makes it even sweeter." Roman said, taking it from him.

"It does- it's not dummy proof!"

"Man I've been known to handle big guns, relax."

"You've been known to handle that big ass head."

A split second later, Roman pulled the trigger and fired it, shooting it straight into a wall between Dom and Han who'd been talking about street races.

Dom glared at the two, making Salem giggle. Roman quickly shoved the weapon into Tej's hand and glanced away casually.

"Why are we here?" Salem hissed, looking at Hobbs as he set up his Sniper.

"Your dad decided to sneak out." He said, nodding to the parking lot beneath them. Salem took in several deep, measured breaths. "Don't call him that, he's no father to me."

Hobbs glanced at her, one eye to his scope. "I have a daughter, you know. God help me if she turns out anything like you."

"That's what my mum used to say to anyone who wanted to meet me."

"Shaw." Hobbs suddenly growled, tensing.

Salem peered down, watching the interaction, unable to hear what they were saying.

"-Which means I can reach out and break you whenever I want." Shaw said, "Take your daughter for instance,"

Dom stilled.

"Bad idea bringing her to England. Especially to help you get back your ex. Pale thing, isn't she?"

"At least when I go I'll know what it's for." Dom said through gritted teeth.

"Don't you have a thing down there what we can listen in on?" Salem asked Hobbs boredly.

"I only managed to get a tracker in. Come on you son of a bitch." Hobbs growled, watching Shaw walk away before jogging down the steps towards Dom.

"Do you know what would've happend if I hadn't put that tracker in your car?" He asked.

"You mean this one?" Dom asked, holding the small device up.

Both men laughed while Salem discreetly made the coo coo motion at the side of her head. A day later, she sat on a plane to Spain. Shaw and his gang were said to be hitting a military base there.

Brian sat next to her. He had only just gotten back from L.A.

"Let me ask you something," Dom began, sitting down across from her on one of his cars.

"Okay..." Salem said, warily eyeing him. "What is it?"

"I asked you if you could drive, you said it's in your blood." Dom said. "You're nineteen, Giselle said you killed a guy and didn't blink. Tej did some research on your last prison break and managed to pull up CCTV of you taking down four different armed women that were twice the size of you single handedly."

"See, all I'm hearing right now is a lot of praise and zero questions." Salem said playfully.

"Do you wanna know what Shaw said to me last night?" Dom said, leaning forward, "He said 'Bad idea to bring your daughter to England, especially to help get back your ex. Pale thing, isn't she'? Why would he say that, Camilla?"

"How am I supposed to know?" She said, inspecting her nails. Barely even noticing Dom sit up. She had completely missed it. "What?"

"Why'd you answer to Camilla?"

"Beacuse that's my- oh." She backed up, finally realising what she had said. "Oh shit."

"Why would you keep this from me?" He asked with a hurt expression, all but whispering.

"Why would you abandon me?" She shot back with a hiss.

The plane landed and Salem jogged out.
