39. cars don't fly
Sophia stood with Brian and Dom, her hands running down the sides of the formal dress she wore. It was a forest green satin dress with a slit going up her right leg. Her hair was curled as she had a few pieces behind her ear so her hair wasn't in her face. It felt nice to be all dolled up like this, last time was her senior prom.
Brian's arm was wrapped around her waist, his hand resting on her lower back as he drank the champagne provided while Sophia refused it. Sophia was glad Brian was obviously about her pregnancy cause she wanted to be the one to tell him.
"No, no, no, no. Listen, man, they telling me they party like this every day," Roman said over their comms,"On this level, they party every day. This is crazy. I might have to move out here. I think I'm gonna start a new culture. It's called 'Blairab. You know, like black Arab?"
Everyone ignored him. Sophia couldn't help but let out a small laugh at his antics. Ramsey was right about him being the joker of the group but he'll do anything for his team, his family.
"How we looking, Tej?" Dom questioned.
"We're almost in position." Tej responded. "Okay, so this is how it works. We gotta move in sync if we're gonna pull this off, so let's go over it to make sure everyone clearly understands their roles."
Sophia shook her head gently, "Roman, that means you need to pay attention."
"You know what? You're being real unprofessional right now, Soph," Roman retorted.
"I was being nice. You're lucky I didn't say anything mean, Joker." Sophia let out causing everyone to let out small laughs.
Tej continued. "The God's Eye chip is hidden in a speed drive installed in the prince's car, which he keeps in a safe room vault."
"Now, I make eight to ten plainclothes security," Brian informed as he kept Sophia closed to him.
"Not to mention the prince and his personal bodyguards." Dom added.
Brian turned to face the bar, Sophia turning with him. She noticed how the cameras were placed to one spot in the room.
"Security cameras are clustered by the north wall," She informed the two, "That's where the vault is."
"Now, to get in that vault, we gotta tap into the security system, which can be accessed in the prince's bedroom," Tej said.
Letty down her champagne as she left, "Alright, guys, I'm going in."
"Now once we're tapped in, Ramsey and I can hack into the network and pop the door so you can get in and get that shit."
Roman quickly cut in, "Wait, wait, wait, wait. You missed a step. What about my step? What am I supposed to be doing?"
"No, we didn't miss anything," Tej said. "You're special teams. So when we need you, do what you do best."
Ramsey looked over at him, "And that is?"
"Something you don't want to see." Sophia let out causing Brian to stifle his laugh.
"Shine brightly like only Roman Pearce can do." Tej replied.
Roman laughed, "See? Now we're talking."
"Alright, Tej, I'm in." Letty said.
"Alright, find the phone jack. The tap always runs behind that." Tej told her, "It's gonna be a three hundred and fifty megahertz CAT five E cable. They probably got a couple dozen back there, but this'll be the bonded pair with the plenum coat."
Letty made a face, "English, Tej."
"It'll be the orange wire." He said and Letty cut it, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the pilot seat. Alright, Roman."
"Do whatever it is you do." Ramsey told him.
Sophia shared a look with Brian as Roman took the hand of a woman. She had a feeling this is either gonna be a trash fire or magically work out for them.
"It's your Birthday, right? Are you Jasmine?"
"Oh, God, no." Tej groaned, "Not the birthday routine."
"Wait what's the birthday routine?" Sophia grew curious.
"Like you said something we don't want to see." Tej told her as he continued to try to get into the system.
Roman held his hand out, "Take my hand. Happy birthday to you. This way, this way. Excuse me. So sorry. I'm coming through. Sorry. Right this way."
He stopped the music and snatched the microphone from the DJ, "Alright, listen, people. Please, everybody gather around. Understand something right now. Listen to what I'm telling y'all."
As everyone gathered towards Roman, Dom, Sophia and Brian walked towards the vault room and slid in without being detected.
"Ramsey, open it up for us." Sophia said.
"Copy that. You're in." Ramsey replied.
The door beeped and slid open as it unlocked, revealing the most gorgeous car Sophia had ever seen. Her mouth dropped a little at the sports car, her eyes sparkling a little bit.
"I think the car just took my breath away" She whispered causing Brian to shake his head as they entered the room, the door closing behind them.
Brian looked between the two, "Do you realise what this is?"
"The car of my dreams." Sophia let out.
"Lykan HyperSport. Three point four million dollars, zero to sixty in less than three seconds. There's seven of these things in the world, and this guy keeps it locked up in a vault."
"Nothing sadder than locking a beast in a cage," Dom said as Sophia walked around the car, admiring how amazing it looked.
Brian looked over at her, "And now I really want to punch him in the face."
Sophia chuckled as she came to stand beside her brother, "Let's get to work before we run out of time."
Sophia tried to look around to see if there was a way to lift the car. She tought she found something but was caught off guard as she heard her brother grunt. She turned around from where she was at to see Dom lift the car up a little bit. Brian slid half his body under it before stopping to look at him.
"You got this, right?" He asked.
"Go!" Dom said, his voice strained and Brian slid all the way under.
The alarm started blaring and Sophia sent her brother a worried look as Brian grunted, "I see it."
"Tej, talk to me!" Dom ordered.
"I'm trying, but their security system is locking us out." Tej informed.
The blinds started closing in the room, locking them in. Sophia started to panic a little not knowing what will happen if they get caught.
"Bri, maybe a little faster!" Sophia urged him.
"We're playing all the defense we can up here, but we're gonna lose," Tej said. "You gotta hurry up."
Ramsey was quick to inform them, "Guys, get out of there right now. You've got an army heading your way."
"Brian, get out. Forget it!" Dom yelled and Brian slid out.
Sophia pulling him to his feet as Dom dropped the car, "Tej, we're taking the car."
Dom got in behind the steering wheel and Brian got in the passenger seat, pulling Sophia onto his lap as there were only two seats. She shook her head at Brian as he smiled at her knowing he was enjoying this a little too much.
"Guys, I can't hold it. I'm losing the final gate." Tej told them, "You gotta get outta there."
"Tear off the dash." Dom ordered as he started up the engine. "Go through it."
The engine revved as Sophia started digging through the dash, "Time to unleash the beast."
He stomped on the gas and the car went crashing through the last door and into the penthouse.
The elevator dinged and opened to reveal Deckard Shaw standing there holding a gun. Everyone screamed and ran off as he shot at the roof before turning the gun onto the car. Dom revved the engine before taking off as Shaw engaged with the prince's security team.
Dom hit him with the car before continuing on. Brian had his arms wrapped around Sophia's waist tightly to keep her secure as Shaw continued to shoot at the car. Sophia's eyes widened and she gripped onto Brian's arms as she saw her brother heading for the wall of windows. Brian held her tighter.
"Dom, cars don't fly." He repeated what he always told Jack, "Cars don't fly! Oh, shit!"
"Dominic!" Sophia shouted just as the car crashed through the windows.
Sophia held her breath and held tighter onto Brian as they flew through the air. She grunted as they crashed through the windows of the next building. Dom stomped on the brakes continuously but they didn't stop.
"No brakes." Dom told them.
"What?" Sophia yelled, "What do you mean no brakes!"
Dom looked at her. "No brakes."
"Shit." Brian said.
Sophia continued to dig through the car as Dom sped up towards the next wall of windows. Her fingers dug around the dash until she yanked out the chip. Brian held her to him as he saw where they were headed.
"No, no, no, no, no! No!" He yelled.
The car flew through the air once again before crashing into the third building, where an art show was being held. Everyone screamed and fled as the car's tires screeched. The car spun out of control, the doors being taken off as well.
Sophia breathed heavily. "I got it. I got it!
"Get out!" Dom yelled at them.
Brian yanked the two of them out of the car, the two rolling over on the ground until they came to a stop, Sophia on top of Brian. She breathed heavily as she stared down at him, her fingers clutched around the chip while her other hand clenched around his shirt.
She let out a breath of relief before lowering her head down onto Brian's chest as Dom had also managed to get out of the car before it went through the last wall of windows. Dom looked back over at them as Brian and Sophia sat up as she held up the chip.
"Still miss the bullets, Brian?" Dom questioned.
Sophia leaned her head against Brian's before the two stood up and joined Dom's side.
