The Cop And The Criminal

55.6

"This is crazy," Rome says after they had returned to their hideout. "We are not in Brazil. So, now we got cars flying in the air? On some 007-type shit? This is not what we do!"
"Man, you really got to check that emotion," Tej says as he and Rome walk over to Han and Gisele. "Your voice just went from Shaggy to Scooby-Doo. This is not what we roo roo." Gisele laughs as Rome glares at Tej.
"See, man, when a woman starts shooting at you, that's a clear sign to back the fuck off!" Rome tells him before looking at everyone. "We need to get the hell out of Dodge! That could have been my forehead, man."
"No. That's not as big as your forehead," Kassidy retorts as she walks through with supplies to take care of Dom's shoulder. Han and Gisele smile while Tej busts out laughing. Rome glares at his sister and Tej before touching his forehead.

"Mia..." Brian says once he gets her on the phone. "Uh, it's definitely Letty. But it's, uh... it's complicated."
"Letty's alive. That's all that matters," Mia tells him as she looks down at Jack with a smile. "We have her back, Brian." Brian notices Kassidy setting up the supplies she needs to get the bullet out of Dom's shoulder.
"Well, do me a favor and give Jack a kiss goodnight for me," Brian says.
"Be safe," Mia tells him.
"I love you, Mia," Brian says before hanging up and walking over to Dom and Kassidy, who pulls the bullet out of Dom's shoulder. "She definitely saw that it was you two?"
"She looked dead at me, Brian," Kassidy answers him with a frown as she feels tears form in her eyes.
"Maybe the Letty we once knew is gone," Brian says as he looks down. "Even though she's alive, maybe she's gone."
"You don't turn your back on family," Dom says as he looks at Brian, while grabbing Kassidy's hand to comfort her. "Even when they do."

Letty is the last to return to the new hideout.
"Ivory!" Letty says before tossing him her keys. "It's going to need some repairs."
"No problem, treacle," Ivory tells her before they walk over to the others.
"You good?" Owen asks as he looks over at her.
"Yeah," Letty answers her.
"Okay, listen up," Owen says as he turns to face everyone. "That was a very different breed from Hobbs' usual wannabe warriors. We need to learn who these people are, what they're made of. Vegh?" Vegh brings over a file before opening it to reveal Kassidy's profile on top.
"Pearce, O'Conner, Parker," Vegh says as she throws their profiles forward. "Pearce, Toretto, and the rest of the team."
"These guys are common criminals," Ivory says as he flips through Tej's profile.
"Tonight these common criminals were seconds away from taking us down," Owen tells him as he flips through Brian's profile. "Show them the respect they deserve, or it weakens us."
"You might want to see these," Jah says before handing two pictures to Owen. The first picture is a picture of Dom with Kassidy sitting in his lap with Letty sitting beside them. The second is a picture of Kassidy and Letty leaning against a car, laughing.
"Ring any bells?" Owen says as he sets the pictures down to where Letty can see them. Letty glances at the pictures as she walks over.
"Yeah," Letty answers him. "That's the guy I shot when I was trying to shoot her."
"You look happy," Owen states trying to get a reaction out of the her.
"I don't remember them," Letty tells him.
"That's bullshit," Klaus says causing Letty to glare at him. "We got a problem guys. We got a picture of her with the guy who almost took you out."
"Klaus, aren't you team muscle?" Letty asks him with a glare. "Don't make me go over there and make you team pussy."
"She doesn't remember them," Owen states to stop things from escalating. "Names and records aren't enough. I want personal information. Get into their lives, into their minds. Find their weaknesses, and we will exploit them." Everyone walks off as Letty looks at Kassidy's file.

"Mmm-hmm. Yeah, right," Rome says as he grabs a candy bar out of the broken vending machine. "This is crazy, man."
"What are you talking about now?" Kassidy asks as she looks over at her brother with an annoyed sigh.
"I'm sitting here looking at these images... it's like we're hunting our evil twins," Rome answers her as they and Tej look at pictures of Owen's team. "Look at this black dude right here, he's handsome. Clearly, that's me." Tej rolls his eyes at Rome. "We got a white Hobbs. This is Han." Han gives him a 'not bad' look. "Tej, it's an African in a beanie. That's like your mini me, man." Tej rolls his eyes again as he turns back to his computer causing Kassidy to chuckle. "And Brian! When did you this photo shoot?" Rome points at the picture of the blonde woman, before Brian flips him off with a smile causing Kassidy to laugh. "I'm just playing, man. You know you're the prettiest blonde around here." Hobbs then drives in before getting out of his truck.
"All right, lock it up. We got two things," Hobbs says as everyone walks towards each other. "First off, this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime. They got street cameras on every street corner. I got video footage from CCTV of the raid. Lets track that, see where it leads us." Hobbs hands a chip to Tej before continuing. "And secondly, we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol. They ripped off the database of every location that houses the final component that they need."
"So where are they at?" Kassidy asks as she looks at Hobbs.
"There are over two dozen of them around Europe," Riley answers her.
"But the list is only good for 96 hours," Hobbs takes over. "Which means, wherever Shaw's crew is going to hit next it's going to happen within the next four days. They got a window and so do we. We gotta move."
"Hobbs is right," Dom says as he looks at the team. "So let's break this down. You met them. What do we know?"
"We know they have to be running custom engines," Tej says from his spot at the computers. "You heard the flip car going through those gears."
"Sequential transmission," Han adds.
"That didn't sound like a normal engine," Gisele says as she looks over at Kassidy and Dom.
"That was a turbo diesel," Kassidy states causing Dom to lightly smile, with her always surprising him with how much she knows about cars.
"It sounded like something you hear at Le Mans," Brian adds.
"Did you see it take all those hits and still stay flat in the corners?" Tej asks everyone.
"Yeah, hydraulics," Rome answers him.
"Or magnetic suspension," Brian suggests.
"Who not only had access to the components, but can fabricate something like that?" Han asks a big question.
"Maybe a handful of shops in London," Gisele answers him.
"Regular tuner shops aren't going to cut it on this one," Kassidy says as she looks at Dom.
"We're going to have to dig deeper than that. Han, Gisele, Roman, you're up. We find the guy who made that car, we find Shaw," Dom orders as he looks at the team.
"Let's go," Gisele says as she loads a gun.
"I'll help," Riley tells Hobbs before they walk off to leave.
"Tej, we're gonna need cars without computer chips that can be overridden," Dom orders as he looks over at him. "Make sure they're fast." Brian lets out a chuckle as Tej nods.
"I got this," Tej tells him.
"I'm already on it, Dom," Hobbs says as he looks at him. "I've contacted R&D at DSS."
"Hobbs," Tej says interrupting him. "I said I got this." Hobbs looks at Tej, shocked.
"This should be interesting," Dom says as he and Kassidy share a smirk.
