Once they officially broke into the cash house, Zenna couldn't help but grimace by the amount of half naked women who were forced to count and band up the money. Zenna and Giselle quickly gathered up the cash with Brian whilst the others rounded everyone up and took the weapons.

"That's all of it." Zenna tossed the last bag of cash on the stacks and took her place beside Dom.

"You a dead man. You're all dead men! You don't have a place to hide," a man who had clearly ran the cash house, shouted. Dom smirks, glancing at Zenna who walked over to the man and leaned down in front of him. "Who's hiding?" She pouts mockingly, pulling off her mask and tossing it as the crew did the same thing.

"Are you crazy?! Are you crazy?! Do you know whose house this is?! Whose money are you stealing?!" He shouted in anger as Zenna stands back up.

"We ain't stealing it." Dom grabbed the gas and poured it all over the money, Zenna lit a lighter and tossed it on the money. Setting it to permanent fire. Roman watches with a conflicted eyes, watching the precious money be burned before him.

"You tell your boss exactly who did this," Dom started, as Zenna leans down and places her hand on his face, "Tell him there's more coming." She whispered, smirking as she stood up and lead everyone out. Han watched with a gap mouth as she strutted out confidently.

Giselle smirks and follows her out, putting a hand around her waist momentarily, "that was hot."

Roman and Tej both shared looks before following after the women. Zenna hopped into Han's car, starting it up after she sorta stole the keys from his pocket. The crew all got into their cars and took off, Han chuckled as he hopped in the car. "I knew you took them." She laughs and drives off.

Zenna dialed up Dom since she knew the next part of the plan but wanted to take a small break. "You good, Z?" He answered, Han looked at Zenna in confusion on why they weren't following the others.

"Yeah, I'm good. Look I know we have limited time but do you think we could take a small break? I need to take a quick detour." Zenna explained, Han leaned back into his seat listening as she had it on speaker. "Yeah go ahead, I have to discuss things with Brian so you got some time." Dom replied.

"Thank you, I'll be back soon. Love you."

"Love you too, Z."

Zenna hung up and slipped the phone into her pants, speeding up. "So you kidnapping me?" Han joked.

Zenna let out a small laugh, pulling out her phone again because she forgot where the place was and put in the address. "I would've dropped you off but I kinda need someone to be here with me incase I do something stupid." She responded, he nodded since he noticed she was being completely serious.

They arrived at the destination and Zenna put her phone back into her pocket. Han hopped out with her, following her as she walked down a hill that led to a private beach. "Beach?" Zenna nodded and pulled off her boots, placing them to the side and walking closer to the water. Han pulled off his shoes and followed her closer to the water.

"This was one of my ma's favorite spots back then. Back when we used to live here for some time when she was dating this rich dude. She always took me here. It was one of the few places I was happy." Zenna sat down tucking her feet into the soft sand. Han took a seat beside her, watching the sunset.

"If you don't mind me asking, what's your story?" He asks. She glances down, her chin on her knees, listening to the sounds of the water crash into waves. The slight breeze blowing through her braids, it was music to her ears. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," he adds. Zenna finally looks at him and shakes her head, "No, it's okay. I'll tell you."

"I grew up with nothing, no father just my mother who means the absolute world to me. And when she got diagnosed with cancer I thought, okay I'm going to lose the last thing that ties me to life. I met Dom and he taught me everything to know about racing. So one day he took me out to watch the races and then we practiced for hours until he thought I was good enough. Of course I ended up moving here shortly after but I still loved racing. So I raced here too."

"My ma figured out I was racing and she hated the idea of me going out every night and racing illegally for money. But I still kept going, making money and paying for the rent and the hospital bills because she was too sick to even work. So every weekend she brought me to this beach and it was the one place I felt free and happy."

"A few years later, we ended up moving back to LA and I began racing again, then I met back up with Dom because we had been neighbors. I flagged the races, controlled bets, and raced. This sounds stupid but he changed my life in more ways than I could imagine. He brought me into the family, made me feel loved and appreciated. He helped out with my ma's hospital bills when I couldn't, he went to hospital checkups with me for my ma. I had finally found a family that appreciated me for me."

"He brought me into the business, until one day he gave me an out. He knew I had to put every focus on my mother and if I got caught he would never be able to forgive himself. A few years later my mother finally passed, I-I was alone and I didn't blame Dom because he was on the run. Despite Mia being there and helping me with everything I had never felt so alone in my life."

"I moved out of the apartment because I couldn't fucking stand staying there with all the memories. I got my own place in Miami, moved into my apartment. I was doing pretty good for myself, hung out with Tej and Suki for a while. I was doing good, then I got that call. And hearing his voice just brought back every single memory, everything he did for me. I couldn't let him down. And he brought me back here, the one place he knew I would find happiness again."

"Yeah, Dom saved my life in so many ways I would never forget. But, mostly, he brought me back here. And now I'm finally beginning to find happiness, maybe my mother's death just helped me realize that I was never alone. I would always have a family." Zenna never took her eyes off the sunset as she told him a lot about herself. He never interrupted, just nodded along and let her speak freely.

She had no clue why she just told this guy she had barely knew, her entire life story. But there was something about him, it made her feel conflicted, but she was filled with comfort. "You know, I have never met someone who holds herself so high and confident but deep down they're a mess." He says. Zenna glanced at him, she didn't take any offense because it was true.

"You hold yourself up so high, making sure everyone around you is okay. But what about you? What do you feel? I mean your mother died and you didn't have anyone with you. You make sure everyone is happy and content but what about you?" He looks at her, genuinely caring about her. Zenna let's out a shaky breath, a tear falls and slides down her cheek, dropping into the sand.

"I feel like I wanna die. Like I want to drown, and be set free," She whispers against her knees but he still caught every word she said.

"What's stopping you?"

"Everything."

Zenna glanced at him noting his confusion, she began to explain. "I couldn't imagine my life without my mom until it finally became a reality. I thought I wouldn't be alone. But I was. And yes, maybe I put on a strong demeanor but it cracks after a while. Before Dom called me, I was in the worst depression of my life. I was on the very verge of wanting to off myself. And then, he called. And now I finally have my family back. But what happens when we're all separated again and I'm back to square one?"

"That's not gonna happen," Han said.

Zenna scoffs lowly, "and how would you know?"

"Cause I won't let it."

Zenna tensed slightly when she feels his hand intertwine with hers but slowly smiles at the gesture. "You can't guarantee that."

Han nods, agreeing, "You're right. But I can promise that. I won't let anything bad happen to you."

"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep," she shoots back with a chuckle.

"Have a little faith in me, Z."

Zenna and Han drove back to the HQ to discuss the rest of the plan but Dom stopped and gave her hug once she walked over. "She's still with you, Z." He whispered, placing a kiss to her head and walking back over to Brian. Zenna mustered up a smile and then walked over to the table where they were talking over the next part of the plan.

That is how Zenna ended up sitting on her motorcycle with Giselle, watching as these drug workers packed money into a blacked out car. Giselle slips her arms around Zenna's waist as she starts up the bike and follows the car. "We got 'em," Giselle says into the mic for the rest of the crew to hear.

"I got mine," Han says.

"I got eyes on five. I know y'all said they were consolidating the money somewhere, but, y'all ain't gon' believe this," Tej adds.

Giselle holds onto Zenna tigher as she speeds up to the location Tej told everyone to meet up at. Zenna smiles as she speeds pass Han into the parking garage and to the top. Giselle and Zenna both chuckle as they climb off the bike, "You're a good driver." Giselle compliments. "If you think that was good, you ain't seen nothing yet baby," Zenna replies, throwing an arm around Giselle.

"Now I'm intrigued," Giselle said with a smirk. Roman furrows his brows at them as they walk towards the crew. Han is the last one to arrive, flipping off Zenna as he walks over. She and Giselle both laugh and turn their attention back to the crew.

Zenna squints her eyes, seeing all the cars drive into the police station. "Well, this job just got a lot harder," she comments. "If he's moving it into a police station he's got some serious brass in his pocket," Roman adds. "Looks like this is going to be a shorter trip than I thought..." Santos comments in Spanish, Zenna slightly nodding in agreement. "Hell, yeah, we can't do this," Leo agrees.

"Can't"? You mean, "shouldn't." Han says. Zenna glanced at him, she got the feeling this wasn't gonna stop Han from finishing the job. She liked that he was committed to this. "I think this doesn't change a thing," Dom spoke up from where he stood. "I say we stick to the plan."

"You say what? This just went from "Mission Impossible" to mission-in-freaking-sanity." Roman turns to walk off. "Whatever, man. I ain't scared, I'm just letting you all know, going in that building is crazy." Roman rambles, shaking his head, he struts off. "I got this." Brian says before running after his friend.

Zenna sighs, patting Dom's shoulder. "Well, I'm ride or die." He smiles and watches as she walks back towards her bike, Giselle following her. "Sure you don't wanna hitch a ride with your shiny new boy toy?" She teases, climbing onto the bike and sliding her hands around Zenna's waist. "Keep talking and you'll be hitching rides with Roman," she retorts sarcastically, getting a loud laugh from Giselle.

"At least he talks openly about what he wants." Giselle comments before Zenna speeds off, cutting off the conversation she did not wanna be apart of.
