Leslie sped down the airstrip on her motorcycle, spotting the plane where the team was, excluding Dom, which was a bit surprising for her to see but she shrugged it off nevertheless. Leslie parked her bike and climbed off, pulling off her helmet and shaking her braids out. "What's up, everyone? Happy to see my gorgeous face?" She grinned, her bright red lipstick standing out from her whole look.

"You bet your fine ass I am," Rome grins and she rolls her eyes playfully at him. "How you doin' baby?" Tej smiled, walking over and pulling the woman into a hug. "Doin' good, thanks to you. I really needed a distraction and you called at the perfect time." Leslie pulls away, moving to hug Letty, the woman looking a bit down to which Leslie had an idea that Dom's absence might be the cause of it.

"Technically I called but whatever," Roman mumbles.

"You look captivating as always darling." Ramsey blushes at the woman's compliment, moving to embrace her. "Thank you. You look amazing, obviously. How's the boyfriend doing?" Ramsey asked, she and Leslie would text often so Ramsey knew that Leslie was seeing Deckard now. The other's might have had an idea but Ramsey had all the details. "Uh, he's doing good, hopefully. He's on a job so we haven't talked much."

Ramsey smiled sympathetically, she knew that Leslie was still having trouble processing those three words that he had said to her. "Well, I'm sure this job could keep your mind occupied so you shouldn't be so stressed." Ramsey reassures, rubbing Leslie's arm.

"Alright, so, we ready to go?" Tej clasped his hands together expectantly, getting back on track as they were on limited time. "All good here. Let's go." Leslie says and Roman pulls down the plane door so they can climb aboard. As they were boarding, a loud engine was heard in the distance. They glanced over and seen the charger, of course it was Dom. Leslie patted Letty's shoulder and boarded the plane.

"So, tell me why I'm here?" Leslie asks, moving to sit next to Tej. He pulls out a tablet and hands it to her, knowing she would want to look over everything in the case. "Rogue agent? Wonder who that could be." Leslie muttered under her breath, slowly the video to thoroughly go through it. She looked up when Roman and Ramsey go to greet Dom and she could see something on his facial expression, like he was hiding something. He knew something. Leslie hums lowly, setting down the tablet and offering Dom a smile.

"Good to see you again, Creed." He said. Leslie scoffs lightly, "Uh uh, we're family now. Call me Leslie." Dom smiled, nodding, he leaned over and they shared a small embrace.

Roman grins, "call I call you Leslie?"

"No."

Leslie drove her bike down the dirt road and clicked the button on her helmet to turn the mic on so she would be able to hear and communicate with the team. "Coming up on the signal, two miles. It's deep un the militarized zone of Montequinto. I hope everyone's ready." Ramsey informs, throwing a dig at Roman who was in some gigantic truck, or whatever it was, they had no idea. But it was a bit much. "Ready? Y'all want to make jokes about me not making practical decisions? This is as prepared as it gets." Roman expressed.

"We all see you, man. Nobody thinks you're compensating for anything." Tej says sarcastically and Ramsey laughs.

Letty comes up beside Dom on her own bike. "I'll take point with Leslie." As expected, Leslie speeds up to drive in front of Dom. "Careful," Dom warns. "Careful's when you get hurt." Letty speeds up to be alongside Leslie, both of them taking point. "Right now, we have a ten minute window between patrols. Mr. Nobody's signal is close, but we've got to move quickly, guys. We do not want to cross paths with the military here." Ramsey explains.

They approached the sight, a plane was crashed and destroyed, there didn't seem to be any signs of survival. Leslie pulled off her helmet and climbed off, overlooking the scene. She quickly pulled out her gun, ready for anything. "It's inside," Ramsey says, looking down at her phone. "Cover us," Dom orders both Tej and Roman. Leslie follows behind Dom and Ramsey, keeping her guard up.

"The source of the SOS sign is coming from inside this thing." Ramsey kneels down to unlock some sort of safe. "Somebody wanted in. Plane must have gone down before they could cut through," Dom theorized. "Or it was sent down on purpose to stop 'em." Letty adds, sharing a look with her husband. Leslie glanced around, she had a bad feeling about all of this. There was no way they would've just left something important here. Someone had to be coming back.

"Yeah, well, their mistake was trying to cut into it. But just give me a minute. I can get in." Ramsey says before getting started on hacking the code. Leslie cocks her gun, glancing over at Ramsey, "make it quick. I don't have a good feeling about this." Roman approaches the group warily, "Dom. There's not a soul in sight. No sign of Mr. Nobody." Just as he says this, the safe beeps, gaining their attention. "Got it." Ramsey pulls out a metal box and opens it up with Letty's help.

Letty picks up the device in confusion, "what the hell is this?"

"Whatever it is, Mr. Nobody wanted us to find it. How's that work-" Dom was cut off by the sound of bullets hitting the split plane. "Go!" Dom, Roman, and Tej all begin to start shooting at the shooters whilst Letty and Ramsey get out. Leslie ran over to her bike and put her helmet back on, remaining on her bike, she fired at the shooters. She started up the bike and followed after Dom once he got into his car.

"Shit!" Leslie looked at her arm that got knicked by the gunfire. Dom got in front of them and took a sharp right, protecting Letty and Leslie from getting shot by the military trucks. They began to drive through the forest, military trucks following behind them with Tej, Ramsey, and Roman nearby. All of them luckily unscathed.

Meanwhile, Leslie's arm was starting to affect her driving. So, she needed to tie her arm up to temporarily stop the bleeding and risks of infection. She kept her hand on the handle and used her other one to rip off her sleeve. Now, the hard part was tying it. She pushed up the shield in her helmet and used her teeth to tie the sleeve around her arm, her steering a bit out of control but Dom noticed and drove beside her, keeping her steady as she finished tying her arm.

"Bloody hell, I need to retire." Leslie pulled her shield back down and gave Dom a thumbs up, signaling she was all good now.

"Peligro minas. What does that mean?" Roman asks in a panic. Leslie's eyes widened momentarily, knowing exactly what that meant. "Tej, how fast we got to go to clear 'em," Dom questioned. Leslie cursed under her breath, knowing where he was going with this. "Please don't tell me you're thinking what I think you're thinking," Tej exclaimed in worry. "Why?! What does "peligro minas" mean?" Roman repeats, not getting an answer.

"Tej, how fast?" Dom asked again. "I don't know, man."

"Somebody answer me! What does "peligro minas" mean?!" Roman asks again, getting even more panicked. Leslie rolls her eyes, deciding to answer him before he screamed her ear off. "Peligro minas means "danger, land mines!" Roman's eyes widened at her words, "what?!"

"How fast, Tej?" He asks again, figuring Tej would do the math already. "Assuming a 50-foot blast radius and a-a half a second trigger delay, I'd say about 80." He answers, referring to how fast they needed to be to avoid fucking dying. "I can't! My speedometer only goes up to 70. What do I do?!" Roman panicked. "You put your foot to that floor, and you pray!" Tej exclaimed.

Leslie sped up beside Letty, the team driving onto the land mines which would get the majority of the military off their asses. "Fuck!" Leslie swerved just out of the way to avoid getting caught in an explosion. "Deckard's gonna fuckin' kill me when he finds out about this. Maybe I just won't tell him this part," Leslie mumbled, letting out a sigh of relief. "Get to that palm plantation and then we're clear!" Ramsey informed.

Dom speeds up, managing to get three of the military trucks to explode. Letty, Leslie, and Dom are all in the clear, officially off the land mine. Although, Roman's truck got hit in the back, which would cause him to lose control, but Tej and Ramsey stop to help him out. Leslie listened into the radio, hearing Tej, Ramsey, and Roman all safe, a little traumatized but mostly unscathed. "Wait, okay, I think I found us another way out. Two miles to what looks like a bridge across the border."

"Good. The sooner we get out of here, the better." Letty says, just before a car suddenly comes out of nowhere and jumps over Letty and Leslie. "Who the fuck is this?" Leslie says to herself in confusion. "Letty, on the right," Dom says. Letty brakes and drives off to the right on another dirt path, the unidentified car following after her. Leslie watched as a man in tactical gear jumps onto the back of Letty's bike, this man must've been after the device.

"Leslie, I could use your help right about now!" Letty exclaimed upon noticing the man going for a gun. "I got you!" Leslie drove onto the right road, catching up to Letty, she moved to stand atop her seat, still controlling the bike. "Be careful!" Letty warns. Leslie jumps, standing on Letty's bike, she knees the man in the face and kicks him off. Her bike now deemed useless, Leslie sits on the back of Letty's with a sigh of relief. "Thanks," Letty says.

Leslie exhales tiredly, putting her arms around Letty to hold on, "no problem."

Unfortunately, as Letty drives off a large rock into the air, the unidentified car narrowly hits the end of her bike and the two women go flying. Dom drifts upon noticing and stops, Letty landing onto his hood as Leslie lands on the roof with a groan. Leslie's eyes widened, realizing the device was in the bike seat. "The device." Leslie climbs off the car, falling onto her knees out of weakness, her eyes land on the rolling device in the dirt.

Leslie pulled off her helmet, and then she noticed him. He drove up confidently in a blue charger, his door open as he picks up the device. Her face paled as she made eye contact with him, it was like seeing a ghost. She felt like her soul was sucked out of her chest, a heavy weight on her chest. It was sickening, that smirk on his face was enough to make her want to throw up. "Get in!" Dom orders the both of them as he begins to drive off.

Leslie climbs into the back almost like a robot would. Letty glanced back her, confused on why she had such a reaction towards this. "That was Jakob back there, wasn't it?" Letty questioned, looking at Dom expectantly. Dom didn't respond and that's when the assassin realized this is what he had been hiding on the plane. He knew this man. Leslie furrows her brows, pulling herself out of shock momentarily. "Who the bloody hell is Jakob?"

Jakob drives alongside Dom, a bit slower than him so Leslie was able to get another good look of him, confirming she wasn't hallucinating, at least she didn't think she was. The same car that knocked Letty and Leslie off the bike joined the race, shooting down the path. But luckily for them, Tej comes up, driving into them, effectively taking them out of the race. Tej, Roman, and Ramsey are luckily able to use the bridge before the other car breaks it when it flips over.

"We got choppers on us!" Leslie warns, looking over her shoulder at the two military choppers on them. They shot at the car, narrowly missing it but it was enough to make the ride a bit bumpy. "Military's not giving up! We got to get past this border!" Letty adds as they continue to shoot small missiles at the two cars. Jakob speeds up and drives off the cliff, only for an aircraft to catch him mid air, leaving the three in utter shock. "What the fuck was that?" Leslie muttered to herself, she hadn't seen technology like that before.

Dom drifts to avoid driving off the cliff, he heads towards the bridge, missiles still being fired at him. Letty's eyes widened upon nothing the bridge no longer there. "Where's the bridge?" Dom continued to drive towards it, revealing a blue button on the gearshift. "Dom. No. No. Dom." Leslie grabs onto the handle of the roof, preparing herself as Dom hits the nos. The rope with the metal hook getting caught onto the tire as planned and the car crashes onto land.

The military backs off, assuming they're dead. Leslie sighs in relief, laying down on the backseat to process what the hell just happened. Letty brushed her hair back, exhaling, "well, that was new."

Leslie sits up abruptly, "remind me to never get in a car with you again." The married couple share a look and smile, glancing over at the shook assassin. "Thought you were some bad ass assassin?" Letty jokes. Leslie shoots her a small glare, "bad ass assassin? Yes. Cliff jumping psycho? No. I did not sign up for this. Now, I feel like I just seen a bloody ghost, and it doesn't help that my arm was shot."

Dom's eyes fall to the chain around Leslie's neck, he had always knew she wore a chain, but it was always tucked under her shirt. Now the chain was fully exposed. "Where did you get that?" Leslie furrowed her brows at the question until she realized he was referring to her chain. "This?" Leslie picks it up, eyeing the cross with a small smile.

She looks up seeing the look of surprise in their eyes. "It was a gift from my husband. He gave it to me when we got married. Why?"

Dom and Letty share a look before glancing back to Leslie. "Can I see?" Dom reaches his hand out and Leslie pulls it off to hand to him, still very confused. Dom flips it over and turns it on it's side, revealing an engraving on it. "This was Jakob's." He said, and Letty's eyes widened in realization, connecting all the dots.

"I'm sorry? Who is Jakob? What the hell are you talking about?" Leslie questioned, taking the chain back and putting it back around her neck. "You know that man we saw back there? That's Jakob. He's Dom's brother, or was." Letty explained seeing as Dom wasn't going to, still processing all the information.

Leslie scoffs in disbelief, feeling very stressed out and overwhelmed by all this information, not to mention the man she had believed to be dead. "No, that's not Jakob. That's Joseph Creed. That's my husband."

"Your husband?"
