The Cop And The Criminal

41.5

The next day, Han tries the track.

"Close, but not enough," Gisele tells him as he gets out of his car.

"Dom, the window is too small, man," Han says as he turns to face Kassidy and Dom, who are working on a car. "Only way we're going to beat the cameras is with invisible cars."

"And I know just where to get them," Dom says as Kassidy lowers the hood of the car they were working on. "Let's take a ride, boys."

Gisele drives the van by the police station before Kassidy, Dom, Brian, Han, and Rome climb on top of the van and over the fence. They each get into a car before driving off. Dom pulls up to a red light with Brian beside him.

"It's been a while since I've been behind the wheel of one of these," Brian says as he looks at the dashboard. Kassidy nods in agreement with Brian.

"First time I've ever been in the front seat," Dom says with a smirk causing Brian and Kassidy to laugh. Han and Rome then pull up on the other side of Brian.

"Hey, brother, what took you so long?" Kassidy asks him in a teasing tone.

"Yeah, I thought for sure you'd be showing up with some chrome spinners or something," Brian taunts him as well.

"Real funny," Rome says with a chuckle before glaring at Brian. Rome then grabs the speaker before talking into it. "I got $100,000 that says I can take you all in the next quarter-mile." Kassidy and Dom share a smirk, knowing that he couldn't beat them.

"Yeah, your broke ass has got a hundred grand," Brian asks him.

"If we pull off this job, I will," Rome replies over the speaker. "The next two lights. Hundred thousand."

"We don't pull this job off, we're probably dead anyway," Han says as he looks at Brian, Kassidy, and Dom. "Let's make it a million."

"I like that. All right, a million dollar quarter mile," Brian says as Kassidy smiles.

"All right then," Han says as he gets ready.

"You only live once. Lets do it," Rome agrees over the speaker.

"What do you say, Dom?" Brian asks him.

"We talking or we racing?" Dom asks him back.

"Just don't cheat this time," Brian says with a smile.

"Got to let that go," Dom says with a smile.

"I still won anyways," Kassidy says with a smirk causing Brian to playfully glare at her. They all get ready for the light to turn green as they rev their engines. Rome takes off just before it turns green with his sirens blaring and lights flashing.

"Typical, Roman," Kassidy says with an eye roll as they chase after Rome.

"I'm going to get this money. I'm hungry," Rome cheers as he is in the lead. Brian gets beside Rome as there is parked cars on both sides of the streets.

"Don't make it too easy for me, boys," Kassidy says as she slips between Brian and Rome, taking the lead with Dom right behind her. Han then passes Rome, putting him in last place.

"Not this time, Kass, Dom," Brian says as he pulls up beside Dom and Kassidy.

"You got to want it, Brian," Dom says as Kassidy looks at Brian beside her. Han then gets beside Dom with Rome getting beside Brian. Dom, Kassidy, and Brian stay a little ahead of Han and Rome as they near the last light. Kassidy looks over at Dom before they share a nod of understanding. Dom and Kassidy speed up getting slightly in front of Brian, who also speeds up. Dom and Kassidy let off the throttle making it seem as though Brian had just passed them.

"Yeah! Owned you! Owned you!" Brian cheers as he wins before they return to the hideout. Brian gets out of his car as he smiles at Dom and Kassidy.

"Good race, O'Conner," Dom says as he and Kassidy walk over to the others.

"Thanks, Dom," Brian says before turning to Rome and Han. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for that shit?" Rome smiles at him as they bro hug.

"I told you he didn't see it," Han says as he looks at Brian, who looks between Rome and Han confused.

"Your man and my sister right there?" Rome says as he motions to Dom and his sister. "They let off the throttle at the line. You didn't do nothing. They let you win."

"Bullshit," Brian says as Rome and Han start to walk away, causing him to frown.
