Chapter 5 - The Tank

THE olive green covoy was easy to spot. Shaw's men (and women) were already on it by the time the team got there.

"You boys better hurry up, they've took the convoy." Tej's voice said through the com. "And Dom? Lettie's with them."

"We stick to the plan!" His voice responded.

Salem glanced at the driver beside her. Romans fingers repeatedly tapped on the steering wheel nervously. "You good, Pinocchio?" She asked.

"Fine, I'm fine yeah." He gulped, nodding. "I'm always fine. Chilling like Bob Dylan."

"Alright, you heard the man. Let's play this fast and clean, that thing's heading your way." Tej's voice said.

There was a loud bash before- "Uh, guys? We gotta come up with another plan. They got a tank!"

Roman and Salem glanced at each other, eyes wide. "They got a what?"

"I'm sorry, did somebody just say a tank?" Roman asked through the talky, holding it to his ear for any kind of response.

They waited a couple more minutes, waiting for any or some kind of news. Roman (and Salem), Brian and Dom drove down the opposite side of the road to Shaw and his tank.

Shaw suddenly fired at them, somehow missing and instead hitting two other cars. Salem tried desperately to forget the image of the two little kids in the back, trying to catch their haywire puppy.

The trio swerved past the wreckage and past Shaw's tank, "So who's got a plan B?" Roman asked.

"A plan B? We need a plan C, D, E- we need more alphabets!" Tej called through in a hysterical tone.

Salem giggled, "That's the first time I've heard you loose your shit, Tej!"

"Hey!" Brian cut through, "We do what we do best, we improvise alright!?"

They suddenly spun around a corner and on to the tanks lane. Roman and Salem behind them. The tank drove over the barriers and into the lane they just left, quickly crushing two cars flat.

"You ass hole!" Salem screeched.

Roman didn't waste a second, he drove through the hole Shaw had made and sped after him, past the crushed cars and rubble.

Salem could feel herself getting more and more worked up the more she saw the tank run over countless cars and kill countless people for no reason.

She saw several people dive out of their cars and run from the tank, the few who tried desperately to run away from it failed horrifically and were crushed.

"Take their attention away from the people!" Dom said over the com.

Salem grabbed Romans gun and wound down her window, "Just get me closer enough so I can jump on it."

"What's wrong with you?" Roman exclaimed. "You'll die!"

"Better me then all those innocent people!" She fired back, eyes wide and gun loaded.

"No, we do this my way first."

Roman tried two times to get in front of tank before succeeding, then they saw the tanks gun lower down and aim on them.

"Your way is failing!" Salem exclaimed.

"Oh shit!" Roman blurted, pushing on his breaks so they fell back away from the guns aim and closer to the tank.

The tank started pushing them forward, slowly destroying the back off the car. "Roman, Salem, you hang in there!" Brian said over the com.

Salem grabbed it, "This is a very one sided relationship, O'Connor, what the hell are you doing!?"

"Somebody better do something!" Roman yelled. "We've got a tank on our ass!"

"There's gotta be a break up ahead!" Dom chimed, "Camilla, are you okay!?"

Roman looked confused (as did Brian) before Salem shrieked. "I'll tell you when that Tanks in the ocean!"

"You're Camilla!?" Roman asked in confusion. "You're Dom's secret daughter!?"

"Not the time, Pinocchio!"

Shaw fired at the bridge ahead of them, destroying it. Dom sped up to avoid the rubble now on the road while Roman handed Salem a cable from the back, "You wanted to get on the tank, right? Wrap this around the gun! I'll keep steering."

The green haired girl nodded in understanding before climbing out of the window and onto the roof. She quickly hooked the silver rope around the barrel and clicked it up.

Still on the roof Salem looked ahead of her, just in time to see Brian use the rubble from the bridge as a ramp to get over to their side.

"WHOOO. Go blondie!" She called, giggling.

"Y'all crazy." She heard Roman muuter.

He opened his door and climbed up, "Alright, get ready to jump, Cami."

"It's Salem!" She hissed, diving forward as the car went under the tank wheel. She caught one side of Brians blue car and Roman caught the other.

They fell back behind the tank, swerving out of the way of on-coming cars. Roman climbed in the front seat while Salem stayed on the roof, pulling a hunters knife from her pocket and stabbing it through the metal as a grip.

"Jesus Christ- what is wrong with you!?"

"When are you going to stop asking!?" She yelled, watching Romans now flattened car get dragged behind by the tank.

"Roman? Salem, are you safe!?" Dom's voice came through the com.

"She won't get off the roof, man! The roof!" Roman exclaimed.

"That's my girl! Hey Brian? That mustang would make a nice anchor."

"Yeah, on it! Salem, hold on tight!" He added, speeding up towards the crushed car and nudging it over to the over side as the road split in two. They managed to knock it into the water-

"Holy- I think Lettie is copying me guys!" Salem yelled, watching the latina woman approach the barrel of the tanks gun.

"What's she doing?"

"Shit!"

Shaw suddenly spun the top of the tank, pointing it at Doms car, he climbed out and Salem yelled at Brian to speed up. The scene was epic as the tank flipped and sent Lettie hurtling high through the air.

Dom crashed his own car into the railing to boost him too up, and to catch Lettie midair and use himself as a human air bag as they crashed down onto someones car.

Brian sped to a stop beside Doms smashed up car and Salem jumped down.

Hobbs' helicopter appeared above them, hovering as he looked down at the scene.
