Chapter 2
London, a beautiful place when you get the chance to look at it. If your there for work, then you don't get the chance to look around as much.
That's what was happening right now.
Hobbs had tracked my sister and Shaw to London, calling Dom and I and grabbing the gang as well. Of course, Brian came along with us, despite our objections.
Right now, Dom, Brian, and I were in this wide open room. The right side was open to the city though could be closed up if nearby. A railing separated us from a five story drop.
Computers and other electronic equipment scattered the room, thanks to Hobbs. Han and Gisele were the first to show up, bringing smiles and warm hugs. Already, Dom had filled Hans in, who had filled Gisele in on my sister.
Gisele quickly walked over, wrapping her arms around me as she said, "I'm so sorry."
"Thanks for coming," I said, pulling away and giving her a reassuring smile. She knew me better than to believe that smile but dropped the subject, hoping to get more answers when the rest of the gang showed up.
"And, I got you a gift," I said, walking over to a white tarp covering something. Pulling the tarp off, revealing a small table, filled with guns galore. "Made sure we got everything you needed," I said, knowing how my friend was with a gun.
Her eyes grew at the sight, sparkling as her hand picked up a gun. Already, she started loading the guns, never missing a beat.
I felt someone's arm wrapped around me and looked up to see Dom next to me, smiling down at me as his head nodded to Gisele. I took Dom's hand, pulling him away and to the side of the room. "Listen, are you sure this is a good idea bringing the gang in for this?"
"Well, if we want Hobb's information, this is the only way," Dom said, giving my hand a tight squeeze.
Nodding with a sigh, my head looked around, watching as Hans made himself comfortable against a wall, watching Gisele as she loaded the guns. "Hey," Dom said, making me look back at him, "I love you." I smiled leaning up and pressing my lips to his, "I love you too," I whispered back.
"Thank god!" Tej's voice was heard, making me look over to see Roman and him walking in. "Finally, some equipment I can work with. This is way better than that trash in Rio."
"Way better," Gisele said with a smile, glancing over at me.
"Has anybody heard from Leo or Santos?" Brian asked, joining the group. Hans shook his head, "Last time anyone saw them, they were hitting up the casinos in Monte Carlo."
Sounds like them.
Roman looked over at Brian, "I thought that was our last job, Brian. And who's paying for all this equipment? The taxpayers? So now we work for The Hulk? That's what we're doing? Why do I smell baby oil?"
The sound of heavy footsteps made everyone turn to look back at the entrance, seeing Hobb's and a DSS agent. "If you keep running your piehole, you're going to smell an ass-kicking."
Dom and I took a few steps forward, "All right, Hobbs," I said, making him look at me, "You got the best crew in the world standing right in front of you. Give them a reason to stay."
Hobbs walked over to a large table, throwing down pictures of Shaw. Everyone joined the table, surrounding it like old times. "Our target is Owen Shaw. Former major in the S.A.S., Spec-ops soldier. He ran the UK's Mobility Division in Kabul and Basra."
Tej side, taking a step back, "Ah, damn," He cursed under his breath. "That Mobility unit's the truth. We're talking vehicular warfare, best in the world. Those guys don't mess around."
Hobbs nodded, "For years, they've been running jobs in Europe, but it's their most recent jobs that graduated them to a whole new level. Three targets, highly specific. The program terminal from an ICBM missile..."
Roman's voice was heard from the side, glancing over to Tej, "Got a little change?" Tej looked at him annoyingly as he pulled out some change from his pocket, "Seriously? You're a millionaire, and you're still trying to ask for money?" Roman looked at him annoyed as well, "That's how you stay a millionaire."
Brian spoke up, pulling us back to the real matter at hand, "So what does this all mean?"
"Well, our best guess is that Shaw's crew is building a Nightshade device," Hobbs is, making Gisele cross her arms and ask, "Which is?"
The DSS agent spoke up, "A tech bomb. Designed to block an entire military communication grid for 24 hours." "If you blind a soldier for a single second in the middle of a fight, he dies. If you blind a country for 24 hours, the loss of life is unthinkable. This could be worth billions to the right buyer."
Tej looked around at the group/family, "Billions? Why don't we just steal that shit?"
Roman spoke up, making me look over to find him by the snack machine. "Hey, man. Which one of these things is a dollar? It says something about..." Before Roman could finish, Hobbs pulled out his gun, shooting the snack machine, causing the glass to shatter and the snacks to fall out.
"It's on the house," Hobbs said, setting down his gun. Roman was silent as he slowly grabbed a few snacks.
Hobbs looked at each one of us, "I want you to help me catch Shaw. He's only got one piece left that he needs, and I intend to stop him before he gets it. Now, I know you guys are a family. So I'm offering you a chance right now to bring back a family member."
Throwing down a picture of Paris, everyone was silent, shocked to see the girl that was supposedly dead. Dom's hand grabbed mine again, giving it a squeeze as my eyes stayed glued on the picture.
"Who the hell is that?" Roman asked, gesturing to the picture with his hand.
"Paris Fuller. Emily's younger sister. Said to have died in a house fire," Tej said, speaking casually. Everyone, including Dom and I looked at Tej confused and shock. Realizing what he said, Tej looked up, noticing everyone's faces, "What? I keep up on you guys too."
No one knew how to respond to that, so no one did. My attention turned back to Hobbs, crossing my arms and hoping to circle back, "You want to make this family whole again? Get us to Paris, we'll get you Shaw, full pardons all the way around."
Hobbs met my eyes, "I can't promise you that."
"Yes you can," Brian said, walking over and standing on the other side of me. He stared down Hobb's, crossing his arm as well.
Dom repeated the same action, shrugging as he said, "That's the deal. Take it or leave it." Hobbs looked at Brian, then me, then Dom before sighing, "You get me Shaw, and I'll get your pardons."
I nodded, "You heard him," I called out, "But this is different. We're not dealing with cops, we're not dealing with drug dealers. This is a whole different level."
Roman looked around, throwing in some M&M in his mouth, "We're getting paid, right?" My attention turned to Roman, a glare in his direction making him shut his mouth as he looked at the ground.
Dom smiled at the action, looking admirable and proud.
Night soon crawled over the city, signaling that our mission was soon starting. The building next to us was filled with police cars and swat team. Gisele, Brian, Dom, Hobbs, and I all watched while Tej was on the computer, listening to the police talk.
"Interpol picked up one of Shaw's guys in Moscow. I went in, had a little therapy session with him. He gave up Shaw's hideout," Hobbs said, crossing his arms.
"Then why aren't we down there now?" Gisele asked? "Well, we weren't invited," Hobbs said, looking over at Dom and I who stood on the other side of him. Tej spoke up from behind us, making us turn around and look at him, "Hobbs, they're sending in your punching bag. He's wired. He's going to give a positive ID on Shaw before they move in."
We waited, Dom's arms wrapped around me. "It'll be okay," Dom mumbled against my head that was buried in my hair. "I know, I just want to catch Shaw and bring my sister home."
"We will," Dom said, making me smile.
Gisele looked over at us, a huge smile on her face, "God, you two are cute." Dom let out a chuckle, gaining a smile from Brian and Hobbs. Tej spoke up, gaining our attention again, "I just got confirmation on Shaw. They're going in. Wait, wait, hold up... Police scanners are saying alarms are going off at Interpol headquarters."
Brian cursed, "Shit, he brought us here so he could take down Interpol. This whole thing's a set-up." Dom pulled his arms away from me, "Brian, take the team."
"What about you two?" Brian asked Dom and I while everyone started to move. "We'll wait for Shaw. Shaw leads to Paris," I said, making Brian nod before grabbing a gun. Everyone piled into their cars before quickly driving off.
Dom, Hobbs, and I leaned on the railing, watching the cop cars, "Come on, you son of a bitch," Hobbs mumbled.
