Valerie smiled at the clothes they had set for her to wear. She loved how everyone knew exactly what she liked to wear. She wore a white spaghetti strap (that's what I call them) and some high waisted black jeans. With a gray sweater over it, and some nice black boots with a heel. She quickly painted her nails a pink and black and put on some matte pink lipstick.

Getting a knock on the door she spoke, "Come in!" The door opened to reveal a man who looked a little professional. "Mr. Nobody would like me to show you to the meeting." Valerie smiled, the man was pretty attractive, but was nothing compared to Deckard (obviously).

"Oh, yes darling. I'll be out in just a sec." She waved him off and pulled out her phone. "Hey mum, it's me Valerie. I just broke out and wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but please tell Austin and Selena I say hi." She spoke, once the message went to voicemail.

Valerie walked out a followed the man to the meeting room, she smiled, seeing Roman and Tej. She still hadn't talked to Ramsey about how she knew her, but it wasn't too important. The man opened the door for her and she walked in, obviously gaining everyone's attention.

"What is she doing here? I thought you was locked up Valerie." Roman bit his lip, walking up to the girl and bringing her into a hug. "Oh come on, you know a little cell can't keep me." She pursed her lips and returned the hug.

"Alright back to business," Mr. Nobody continued. "I've been in here for 4 hours, my ribs are sore. I don't know about y'all, but I'm out." Roman said, turning to leave. "I wouldn't recommend that." A man said, stopping Roman. Valerie looked him up and down and grimaced, he was definitely a newbie. So he followed by the rules.

"What?"

"Well, thanks to your bust Berlin job. You all made interpol's top 10 most wanted list." Mr. Nobody announced, shocking some but not Valerie considering how used to it she was. "Top 10? Uh-huh. That's alright." Roman grinned, flashing his pearly white teeth.

"Well, not you." Valerie had to hold back a laugh and cover with a cough.

"What do you mean?"

"You just missed the cut, you're number 11." Mr.Nobody explained, getting small chuckles from the group. "I missed it?"

"Yeah."

"That's impossible. What number did they come in at?" Roman looked at the crew, and Valerie.

"Six," Little Nobody pointed at Hobbs, "eight," he pointed at Tej, "nine..." he pointed at Letty, "Ten." He pointed at Ramsey.

"She's Ten? That's impossible, there is no way she's at 10." Roman exclaimed, putting his arm over Valerie' shoulder.

"Oh, She's definitely at 10." Tej smirked, getting a scoff from Ramsey. "What is she?" Tej pointed at Valerie. "She is at number one." Little Nobody said to the crew, Valerie smiled and took a seat, two chairs away from Hobbs.

"How about we focus on someone who we're not gonna find out in anybody's list? We are awaiting hard confirmation, but... I believe that's the cyber terrorist known as Cipher." He clicked a button on the screen and it showed a picture of a blonde woman. Known as Cipher. From there, Valerie blocked everything out, already knowing about the mission.

"So y'all want us...To track Dom." Roman shot them a confused look. "And I know Roman, it's kinda a big job." Mr.Nobody said, sarcastically.

"It's impossible."

"Which is why... I'm bringing in an extra pair of hands." Valerie looked up to them, finally listening to the conversation. A door opened and Deckard walked in, messing with the cuffs on his suit. Valerie made eye contact with him and immediately looked away, they hadn't discussed anything since they got to headquarters. So seeing him was really weird in a way.

"Ah. My day just got a whole hell of a lot better," Hobbs shot up from his seat, glaring at Deckard. "Mr. Nobody you want to tell me why you just put me in a room with this tea and crumpets eatin' criminal, sum bitch." Valerie scoffed at the way he said, tea and crumpets, honestly crumpets aren't even that good.

"Oh bloody hell," Valerie muttered, getting a small smile from Ramsey. "You got a big mouth on a small head. Coming from prisoner 6753," Deckard mocked.

"Don't think we've forgotten everything you've done." Letty said, bringing the memories of Han back to Valerie. Which made her look down and frown in disappointment. Tej stood up and spoke, "We're not, teaming up with this guy."

"Let's get one thing clear. I ain't on your team. I don't care about you, you crew... Your little family. I'm here for Cipher." He announced, glancing at his girl, or whatever she was at the moment. Valerie stood up and placed a hand on Tej' shoulder to calm him down. This didn't go unnoticed by Deckard because he frowned at the gesture.

"You gonna apply for a job, head-asshole." Hobbs remarked.

"I think that tight t-shirt is cutting off the circulation to your brain. You should get bigger size." Hobbs looked down at his shirt, taking small offense at the comment. "Cipher came to me first. Wanted me to steal Nightshade for her. When I said no, she went off to my brother."

"Oh Yes. Brother Owen who could forget him? Former hell-raiser and current guest, at a nasty little black site prison." Mr.Nobody clicked a button on the remote and a picture of Owen Shaw showed up. Valerie raised a brow and leaned against the glass.

"Cipher corrupted him left him for dead. So if I get a shot to take her down, believe me, I'm taking it." Valerie looked down, suddenly finding her nails really fascinating.

"You're taking my boot right up your ass." Hobbs stepped up to Deckard, both of them directly facing each other. Valerie rolled her eyes and stepped between the two, putting her hands on their chests to keep them apart. They both stared at her hands and looked back up, glaring at each other.

"Guys, guys, guys. The fastest way to find Cipher is through Toretto. Now aside from myself, there's only two men in the world, that have ever managed to actually track him.. Down with any success. And guess what. They're both standing in front of me right now. Including Valerie. So like it or not, you two are gonna work together." They both glared at each other and took steps back. "You got that?"

"I'm gonna take that as a yes." Valerie walked away and sat back down on the chair.

"Am I the only one seeing this?" Roman spoke up, getting eye rolls from the crew.

"Oh, this oughtta be good." Little Nobody mumbled.

"Use God's eye. We put our lives on the line.. Running around the world trying to figure this thing out. It can find anybody, right? Let's use it to find Dom." Valerie chuckled lowly, knowing that was the first thing they had done.

"Roman, that is a great idea." Mr.Nobody pointed out, sarcastically, of course.

"Did you hear that? Great idea." Roman smirked at Ramsey, "And no, no! No tunin' out." Roman grinned.

"Mr. Nobody." Hobbs looked at the older man, "Let's fire it up.. huh?" Valerie stood up and walked over to Tej, and patted his shoulder. "Hey baby. How you been?" He pulled her in for a hug, none of this going unnoticed. "I've been okay. Prison is not very fun." She chuckled, returning the hug.

"Yeah, how exactly did you get caught? I mean, come on, you're Valerie. You're a bad ass." She smiled at the complement, "I'm not exactly sure either." She smiled and he walked chuckled and walked out with the others. "You coming?" Letty asked.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a sec. I just need to make a call." Letty nodded and met up with the others.

Valerie glanced at Deckard who was also in the room. "What was that all about?" Deckard asked, referring to her conversation with Tej. "Nothing. He's just being friendly." Valerie walked up to him. "Why do you care, anyway?" She raised a brow, slightly smiling.

Little Nobody glanced at them from the other side of the glass, "What's up with them?"

"Oh, they dated, and then he killed her first love, they broke up, and then went to jail together. And now I honestly don't know." Roman said, glancing at them as well.

"No reason. Just curious." Deckard mumbled, taking a step towards Valerie. "Really? It sounds like you're jealous. I mean, I don't care, do whatever you want." She took a step forward, so they were just inches apart. "Technically, I have every right to be jealous. You did kiss both of them. Tej, a little longer, though. I wonder what that meant."

Valerie opened her mouth but closed it again, not finding any words to say. He chuckled lowly, knowing he was right. "Screw you." She stated, looking him straight in the eyes. "You already did that." She looked away, stepping back from him.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a call to make." She walked away, exiting the room and walking past the group that was still putting God's Eye together. She stood to the side and pulled out her phone, dialing her brother.

"Hey, sis. How are you? How's Deckard doing?" Her brother Austin, asked. Most likely smiling through the phone, "I'm doing fine. Deckard' alright as well. How are you doing? I got a text from Selena, saying you were in trouble."

"I'm fine. I have it handled. You know me, I'm a bad ass." He spoke, grinning at his friend beside him. They were just finishing up a job and then he was going to meet up with Selena to see Mum. "No, I'm a bad ass. You're a dumb ass." She chuckled.

"Come on, Val. Why you always have to do that to me? I'm just as good at my job as you." Austin frowned, glancing at his friend that was laughing at him. "Look, I'm really busy. I'll talk later." She quickly hung up, walking back over to group. Standing beside Hobbs.

"How's Austin doing?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the screen. "Why do you care? You're the one who locked him up." She stated, crossing her arms over her chest. "Despite what you might think of me, Valerie. I did it for his own good."

"He was framed. My brother would've never done what he was accused of." She turned to face him, "You ruined his life. He can't even get a good job anymore. So don't be shocked if he goes done the same path as me." She shoved past him, walking back over to Tej.

"Did you tell anyone about, you know?" She mumbled, facing the screen that he was working on, Ramsey a few feet away, doing the same. "Nah, nah. We said we wouldn't talk about it, did you?"

"No, I'm just making sure." Roman who was listening in, frowned and furrowed his brows.

"Got him. He's in London." Ramsey announced, taking a glance at the crew. "Wait, we have got a 2nd match in Hong Kong.
Bejing and Seole." Tej said, frowning at the screen. "And Tokyo. And just about every other major city on the planet." Ramsey sighed.

"And so...God's eye was where we start. Cipher's already created an evasion that masked her location by..Pinging random spots all over the globe. But it was a good thought Roman." Mr.Nobody spoke, making Ramsey and Roman frown.

"So she's made my program obsolete." Ramsey sighed, trying to think of another option. "And that Ramsey..is why are you here."

"See, simple solutions...aren't gonna cut it here slick," Little Nobody said, walking past Roman.

"Why are you looking at me when you say that?" Valerie snickered and patted Roman on the back. "Wait a second, wait, wait. Simple solutions might just cut it. In order for God's eyes to give up all these false pings, Means they have to be using a free relay." Tej said.

"Which means it has a decaying sync quantanizer. Which we can reverse. And track it back to the originating source and find Dom's true location." Ramsey smiled at Tej. "That was my idea. That's what I was saying, remember in there?" Roman grinned.

Valerie watched as they immediately got to work. Then Roman nudged her side, "Hey, what was you and Tej talking' about?"

"Nothing." She mumbled before walking back over to the screen. Getting a better look. "Alright they are not in China."

"Or Russia."

"Europe's clear. But this one's not going away." Tej mumbled, Valerie glanced around the room, suddenly feeling a nerve of nervousness. "This is interesting."

"Why?"

"Because that's here."

"Everyone get down!" Valerie shouted, the glass broke and some kind of grenade was thrown in. Valerie shoved Ramsey down and was now standing in the middle of the room, holding her head in agony. She tried to fight the dizziness that she was feeling and glanced over, Deckard ran to her and pushed her out of the way.

Getting the metal door thrown on top of him instead of her. She held her head in pain, biting her lip to hold in her screams. "Did you all enjoy that? Next generation concussion grenade. It scrambles your senses. Don't worry,
It'll wear off in an hour. Probably." The voice of Cipher, flooding her ears.

Immediately groaning at her dumb voice, gosh she couldn't express how much she hated her. "Hello, Deckard. Nice to see you again. Look at this, bodies' not even cold Dom. Your family's already replacing you. You chose the loosing team. I guess your brother is smarter than you." She dramatically pointed the gun to his head.

"Oh shit. Valerie Santina, I can't believe it's you. You know, I always was a fan of your work. I mean, I hear a lot of stories about. Especially ones from your father, he always was great story teller." Valerie glared, knowing exactly what Cipher was talking about. Cipher had her father, captive. And Valerie was the only one who knew about him being alive. She didn't want to give her families hopes up, if she couldn't bring him back.

"Fuck you." Valerie said, clenching her jaw. Dom kept a straight face, but he was already cooking up a plan. He knew how Valerie was feeling, losing a father was hard. Even when some people didn't want to admit it. Dom had seen Edward Santina in a cell, heavily guarded.

Cipher chuckled and kicked Valerie in her abdomen, she groaned and clutched her stomach in pain. "Smart move embedding God's eye into the mainframe. Irritating to make me have to come all the way down here to get it, but. Let's go." Dom shot at the remaining glass, making everything groan as the headache became worse.

"Dom! You're gonna turn your back on family? Just like that?" Letty shouted, in disbelief. Cipher turned to Dom and held his face, kissing him stiffly, with no emotion. "Let's go." They both turned and left, Valerie crawled over with the little strength she had and placed her hand on Deckard'.

"I'm going to push this off, okay?" She screamed slightly, pushing the metal door off of him with the little strength she had left in her body. She collapsed onto his shoulder, groaning in pain from the headache she still had. "Why didn't you tell me?" He groaned, placing his hand on her'.

"I couldn't tell anyone. I'm the reason she has him. It's my job to get him back." She placed her head on his shoulder, still groaning in pain from the kick to her stomach. The headache was slowly wearing off, since she had gone through this a while ago. "You can't carry all that weight on your shoulders, Val."

"I don't care. Okay. It's my fault, it's my responsibility. I don't need you to understand. It's not your concern."

"It's alright, darling. I understand."
