40. all that trouble
The group entered Safar's garage as Sophia held onto Brian's suit jacket that was slung over her shoulders as the man turned to them enraged.
"Ah, there they are. Disaster."
"I'm sorry," Ramsey apologised.
Safar marched towards them,"I get you an invite to the most exclusive party in Abu Dhabi. You steal the host's car, and you jump it between two buildings."
"Actually, it was three buildings." Brian corrected him as he held up three fingers.
"Don't push him, please," Sophia whispered to Brian who smiled at her as he kissed her head.
"Just telling him the truth," Brian admitted as Sophia nudged his side gently and shook her head at him, knowing it wasn't helping.
"Oh, two, insult. Three, honour. My bad," Safar exclaimed.
The back door to the garage opened and Mr. Nobody walked in with his men behind him, "Well, well, well, I have to say you've got an interesting interpretation there of low key, Mr Toretto."
Mr. Nobody said as he came to stand before them, "You know, Dom, I thought we had an understanding."
"Sometimes you have to play the hand you're dealt." Dom stated.
Mr. Nobody nods. "Well, that's why I prefer to be the dealer." He winked at Dom before turning to Safar. "Goodnight."
Safar looked between Mr. Nobody and Sheppard, "Ah." He realised. "I'm getting kicked out of my own garage. This is great."
Once he was gone, Mr. Nobody held his hand out, "May I?"
Dom turned to his sister. "Soph, give it to him."
Sophia walked over to stand beside her brother, her heels clicking, and looked at him before turning to Mr. Nobody and handing over the chip. The brunette felt Brian place his hand on her lower back as he came to stand beside her.
Mr. Nobody held the chip up. "All that trouble for this little..." He groaned," Thing. With all due respect, Dom, you really did great work back there. All of you. All of my men are now standing by and are fully at your disposal."
He handed Dom back the chip, "Your call."
"Ramsey," Dom said and turned to her, "Fire it up and find me Shaw."
Ramsey smirked as she took the chip and walked over to the computers. She placed her bag to the side as everyone followed her.
"Oh, damn, this is crazy." Tej said as Ramsey sat down, being handed her tablet.
"Thank you." She plugged the chip into it. "Alright, give me a second."
Sophia leaned her back into Brian as she watched God's Eye appear. She was amazed how someone can come up and create such a thing.
"What's it doing now?" She questioned curiously.
"It's hunting." Ramsey explained, "Hacking into the security cameras at Etihad Towers. That's the last place you saw Shaw, so that's where we'll start."
Brian was quick to spot Shaw, "That's him, right there."
"Wait, wait. What are these numbers here for?" Tej asked, gesturing to the screen.
"It's bio mapping Shaw's face." Ramsey replied. "It'll run against ever camera, every audio device in this hemisphere. Bingo. Looks like he's holed up here."
Brian nodded his head, "That's perfect. Automated factory, no people, lots of places to hide."
Mr. Nobody looked to Ramsey, "You just changed the face of manhunts forever. Congratulations."
Roman leaned forward, looking to Ramsey, "Hey, can I check my email real quick?"
"Dawn's up in two hours." Dom spoke. "We're gonna go take down Shaw then. Go get changed."
Few Moments Later
Brian pulled Sophia away from the group as he had a gut feeling something was going on. Sophia looked at him confused as her eyes grew concerned.
"I think Dom is going to leave on his own to get Shaw," Brian let out as Sophia shook her head.
"No, no he wouldn't do that," Sophia disagreed.
"Sophie, he'll do anything to protect each and every one of us," Brian tried explaining.
Before Sophia could even argue back she noticed Dom walking away from were everyone else was. Sophia and Brian shared a look as they hid in the shadows whilst Dom walked up to Mr Nobody as they stood outside. Sophia prayed Brian was wrong that her brother wasn't stupid enough to go by himself.
"We should go now."Dom said to Mr. Nobody, "Just you, your team, and me."
"I thought you said at dawn," Mr. Nobody said as he took the God's Eye from him.
"My guys are racers. Best drivers in the world. But they ain't killers," Dom explained.
Brian grabbed Sophia's hand and led her out towards them, "I told you he'd say that. I know you too well, Dom, and we're going with you."
Dom looked to his sister. "Soph, not you."
Sophia raised her hands up, "I'm just going to be the getaway driver to help you two idiots out when you do something stupid."
Mr. Nobody looked between them, "Well, looks like we've got a nice little hunting party. Let's go bag a shadow."
Automated Factory
Sophia anxiously twisted her engagement ring around her finger as she sat in between Brian and Dom in the back of the car.
"Ten clicks out, boys. Get ready to rock and roll." One of Mr. Nobody's men informed and soon enough they were pulling up to the place.
"Here we go. Weapons hot."
They got out of the car as Sophia grabbed Brian's hand and pulled him towards her. She quickly pressed her lips against his before looking between him and her brother.
"Please be careful. Both of you," Sophia told them as she grew more anxious.
Dom nodded and Brian kissed her again before they headed into the building whilst Sophia got back into the car, this time behind the steering wheel.
Her anxiety got worse as she sat waiting for her boys to come back out. She tapped her fingernails against the wheel whilst her other hand gently rubbed her stomach. Her eyes widened and she sat up right as she heard an explosion go off inside.
Gunshots were also going off and she bit her lip. She turned the key in the ignition, the car starting up as she prepared herself. She clipped her seatbelt in, knowing she needed to wear one more than ever now that she was pregnant.
A small gasp left her lips as she saw her brother carrying Mr. Nobody out and Brian running out behind them. Brian got in the passenger side while Dom and Mr Nobody got in the back of the car.
"Go, Sophie, go!" Brian yelled
Sophia didn't hesitate as she put the car in reverse and sped back before turning the wheel sharply, shifting into drive as she sped out of there.
The sun rose as Sophia continued to speed along the road, while Dom tore Mr. Nobody's shirt open only to see he was wearing a vest underneath. Mr Nobody grunted.
"Well, you didn't really think I was gonna walk in there naked, did you?" He questioned.
Dom looked relieved before spotting the side of him coated in blood, "You got hit bad."
"Look, Toretto, I know you won't listen to me." Mr. Nobody spoke.
"You're not gonna want to hear what I have to say, but the truth is, you really ought to... try that Belgian ale, man. It's something special."
Sophia smiled softly, knowing there was no way Dom would ever switch to Belgian ale.
"Belgian ale, huh?" Dom asked.
Mr Nobody laughed before coughing. Sophia glanced over her shoulder back at him.
"Hey, we got to get you to a hospital," Sophia let out concerned for his life.
"No, you're not." He said, "I carry my own health insurance. SOCM medics on standby. They're already inbound." He informed them and groaned. "Pull over, kid."
Sophia pulled over to the side and Dom helped Mr. Nobody out and placed him on the ground while Brian stood watch with a gun. Sophia kneeled beside Mr Nobody to apply pressure to his wound. Mr Nobody looked up at Dom.
"Dom, you've gotta protect Ramsey. As long as she's alive, she can lock them out of God's Eye, and they know that. That means they're not gonna stop coming until they've got her. And this time when they come, they're gonna come with everything they've got."
"I'm not leaving you." Dom insisted.
Mr. Nobody nodded, "You're not. I'm leaving you."
The sound of a helicopter approaching them reached their ears, "Go now, Dom."
Sophia stood to her feet and placed her hand on her brother's shoulder, "Come on, Dominic."
They got back into the car Sophia driving off so they could back up meet with the team .
"A war is coming to us whether we like it or not." Dom spoke, "If a war is coming, we're gonna face them on the streets we know best."
Los Angeles, California
"I'm all for winging it, but this is crazy, man." Roman whined, "We got mercenaries with some real heat on us. I mean, I ain't scared or nothing, but, man, I don't even have a gun."
Dom looked towards him, "Gun? We got a whole city."
"And we may have more than that," Tej added, "If they use God's Eye, it'll tap the cameras around town to find out location, which means we could plant a virus."
Ramsey nodded, "And then break in when they access it. So you're talking about hacking my hacking device. It's brilliant."
"Yeah, but there's one problem." Tej sighed, "The signal strength. We can't start a hack on them until they're within a two mile range."
Letty frowned. "That's really close."
"Close?" Roman repeated, "These guys are military. If they're within two miles of us, we're already dead. I don't know about y'all, but I didn't really plan on dying today."
Brian smirked, "Only one way to stay alive. We play keep away with Ramsey."
Ramsey turned to him. "What?"
"They can't hit us if we keep moving." Sophia added, pressed into Brian's side.
Dom stepped forward. "And I'll take Shaw."
He walked away from them as Sophia nudged Letty's side and motioned for her to go over to Dom and the woman did so.
Tej nodded. "So basically we're just gearing up for a big game of hot potato, huh?"
"And which car is the potato?" Ramsey questioned.
Sophia gave her a look. "Unfortunately, you're the potato."
"Tej, you got a citywide on that scanner?" Brian asked him.
Tej turned to face him. "Brian, let me tell you something. Don't ever doubt your boy. This is me you're talking to."
An hour later
Both Brian and Sophia went to a garage that had a car full of gear Brian was able to get from his old storage locker. Brian had handed Sophia one of his old LAPD bullet profs vest to wear since he wanted to make sure she was safe. As they got ready to finish the job, Brian pulled Sophia aside. She grew concerned as she looked into his eyes.
"Are you okay?" She questioned him as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"Sophie, listen to me. If something happens tonight, if something happens to me, I need you to take Jack and move on." Brian told her as Sophia's face dropped as she looked up at him.
"You understand? You understand what I'm saying?" Brian continued as he looked away from her.
Sophia shook her head as tears glistened in her eyes. "No, I-I can't do that, Brian. No, I can't."
She took a deep breath before placing her hands on either side of his face, "We're gonna have another baby. It's a little girl."
She smiled at him as Brian exhaled and chuckled, "And she's going to need her father, so you have to come home to her. To your son. You have to come home to us."
Sophia continued as Brian wrapped his arms around her, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I was scared you'd be disappointed with domestic life or more so me."
Brian pulled her closer to him, "You know, the best decision I ever made was stepping into the store and buying that first sandwich."
Sophia laughed along with him. "Oh god, it was such a bad sandwich."
"I know." Brian laughed, "I-I ate a lot of them."
"I've always wondered if you were gonna get food poisoning," She admitted causing them both to laugh.
He sighed as they stared at each other, "I love you, Sophia."
Sophia shook her head at him. "Don't do that."
"What?"
She frowned at him. "The way you said it. It's like goodbye. Say something else."
Brian wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his chest, "Let's get married after all this is over."
"That's so little time to plan, " Sophia let out even though they been engaged for half a year already.
"We can always get married in the backyard," Brian told her as he always wanted something intimate, "I just want to make you Mrs. O'Conner already."
Sophia smiled at him as she nods,"I like that idea."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her as she placed her lips on his. She pulled back slightly, her lips inches away from his.
"I love you, Bri." She whispered.
"I love you, Sophie." He said before kissing her again.
