The Cop And The Criminal

44.5

Dom, Kassidy, Brian, Mia, and Vince are cuffed before they are loaded into the back of Hobbs' vehicle to be transported to the airport.

"Have the Marshals meet us at the airport when we land," Hobbs says as he speaks on the phone. Hobbs gets off of the phone before looking in front of him to see a man on the roof of a building. "Ambush!" The man on the building, fires a bazooka before taking out the car in front of them. Hobbs grabs his walkie as they come to a stop. "Wilkes, suppression fire. Shut them down." The car behind them stop as more of Reyes' men show up with guns. Hobbs' team gets out of the car behind them, firing at Reyes' guys. "Stagger step. Cover me." Hunt gets out of the car firing at Reyes' men. Hobbs looks at Elena. "Watch them." Hobbs gets out of the car before Brian covers Mia and Dom covers Kassidy. Hobbs takes out a few of Reyes' men.

"Cut us loose!" Brian yells at Elena.

"Come on! Cut us loose!" Vince also yells at Elena, who looks at Dom and Kassidy. Hobbs starts making his way around the car as his team takes out Reyes' men. The man on the roof then fires the bazooka, hitting the second car which sends Hobbs flying back. Hunt goes to run over to Hobbs but is gunned down. Hobbs looks over at Fusco, who is trying to get out of the first car before two grenades are dropped by Fusco before they blow. Hobbs looks around at the rest of his dead team before several of Reyes' men start running towards him. Hobbs struggles to move before Reyes' men start get gunned down causing Hobbs to turn to see Dom, Brian, and Vince. Dom walks over to Hobbs with a shotgun in his hands before he reaches out his hand to him. Hobbs takes his hand before Dom pulls him up. Dom wraps Hobbs' arm around his shoulders before Dom helps him to the car while Vince and Brian cover them. They all get into the car as Elena and Mia crawl into the front seats.

"We're good?" Elena asks as she looks back.

"Yeah, lets go, lets go!" Mia answers her before Elena takes off hitting the truck that is blocking their way. Mia looks back at Brian before looking at Kassidy and Dom. Kassidy grabs Dom's hand, glad that he is safe.

"Hey, Dom, Kass," Vince says as he gets their attention causing everyone to see that he had been shot. "You've both got to meet my son. Nico." Kassidy, with tears in her eyes, looks at Dom, who nods causing the tears to fall.

"We will," Dom promises as Kassidy holds back a sob.

"He's a good kid," Vince tells them. "You know, we named him after you. 'Dominic'."

"You got our word, Vince," Kassidy says before Vince takes his last breath causing Kassidy to bury her face in Dom's shoulder as she cries. Elena takes them back to the hideout where the rest of the team is waiting. They place Vince on a table before covering his body with a blanket. Brian and Mia fill everyone in on what happened while Dom and Kassidy stand with Vince.

"You were always my brother," Dom says as they look down at Vince. Dom touches his forehead and chest in a cross motion.

"We got eyes on Nico now," Kassidy says before Dom completely covers him. "Reyes needs to pay for this." Kassidy looks up at Dom with tears in her eyes.

"I promise, he will," Dom says as he pulls her into a hug before placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Let's do this for Vince," Kassidy says before Dom nods.

"We need to move. We don't have that much time," Dom says as he and Kassidy walk over to the team.

"I got us a flight out. We can leave Rio in the rear view in the next five hours," Han says as he walks over.

"Not to run away," Kassidy says as she stops on the stairs before she and Dom turn to face them.

"To finish the job," Dom says causing Kassidy to nod in agreement.

"Are you crazy, Dom? Kass? We can't," Gisele asks she looks at the couple.

"It's a suicide mission," Rome adds as he looks at them. "That's your man over there on the table." Kassidy slightly glares at her brother. "The plan is busted! This is bullshit, man. Reyes knows we're coming!"

"He's right," Tej agrees. "They tripled the detail at the police station. It's going to be a wall of gunfire."

"Reyes doesn't get away with this," Kassidy says as she looks at them.

"It's a trap," Han tells her. "You know that."

"Kassidy, listen to them," Elena says as she looks between the couple before focusing on Kassidy. "Run, before it's too late. Leave Rio. You can be free."

"Running ain't freedom," Kassidy says as she looks at her. "You should know that."

"You know you're all free to make your own choices," Dom says as he looks at everyone before continuing up the stairs.

"I'm in," Hobbs says causing everyone to look at him in slight confusion. "I'll ride with you, Toretto, Pearce. At least until we kill that son of a bitch." Dom gives him a small appreciative nod.

"So what's the plan, Dom?" Brian asks causing Dom to look at the team. "We can't just go sneaking around anymore."

"We don't sneak. The only thing he cares about is his money. We pull that, we pull him," Dom explains as he glances at Hobbs.
