After identifying Shaw, Valerie was currently on his tail. In whatever kind of car he was in, Dom following right behind her and behind him, Hobbs. She turned into a tunnel he took, "Owen Shaw took a left. I'm still on him. I'm gonna catch this bastard!" She said through the walkie talkie.

Val rammed into Owen's car again and then spotted Luke and Dom behind her. Everyone exited the tunnel and got out on a street with lights down the center of the road. Owen saw an opening and swerved over and Valerie followed. He did it again and Val followed.

"Okay, I think we can get him here you guys." She said and slowed down a bit so Dom and Hobbs could lead. They successfully sandwich him but another car showed up and hit Dom knocking him off Shaw.

Luke took a right on a little ramp above them and Valerie continued following Shaw. She wasn't going to give up catching him, he ruined her brother's life.

"Dom, get the other car. I got Shaw." Val spoke through and they split off following the cars. As Val was about to ram into Shaw until she spots Hobbs in the air and land on Shaw's vehicle. He takes a left turn and Luke jumps off so he can miss the guard that the car can slip under.

Valerie smashed through the guard and continue following him. "Cmon Shaw. You got nowhere to hide. I'm going to catch you." She says as she continues to follow him.

She rams into the back of his car again seeing his back end swing around a little bit. He takes a right and she follows, only to see a car in the middle of the street and a man waiting there with a long black coat on. She pulled on her e-brake and spins the car to the side so she could use it as cover considering she wasn't exactly bulletproof.

She gets out of the car and pulls out her guns, aiming one at Owen through his windshield and the other at the mystery man. Owen stepped out slowly but dangerously, he pointed his gun directly at her. "Owen Shaw! You made my brother suffer in a jail cell, you remember me darling?!" She steps from her car and walks up to him, only a few feet away.

"How could I forget, love? You almost killed me. God you're a gem. It's funny how you think this is going your way." He held the gun to her forehead, her doing the same to him but keeping her other gun on the mysterious man. He watched impressively as she didn't show one hint of fear.

"We'll see, when I kick your ass all up and down this road." She dropped her guns, tossing them to the side, he raised a brow quite impressed. "I prefer not to lay my hands on a woman, but you seem a lot tougher than you look."

Valerie scoffed and tossed her jacket to the side, he removed his leather one, tossing it in the car. "You ready to get your ass whooped?" She smirked, hitting him with a roundhouse kick that he didn't see coming. She went for a punch but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her arm around her back, pinned her front to the car.

"You are remarkably strong for a woman your size. And incredibly beautiful." She smirked head butting him and kicking him in the gut. She grabbed the gun and shot his shoulder, and he didn't even flinch. "That hurt." He tried to grab her but she wrapped her legs around his neck, trying to put him to sleep.

"Alright, that's about enough of this." Owen pulled her legs from his neck and threw her into her own car. She groaned in pain and squeeze the trigger at his head, only she was out of bullets. He smirked and threw her into a wall, she winced in pain, "Dammit!" She screamed, watching him take off.

The mysterious man, not moving a muscle until she was gone. She crawled back up, leaning on her car and since it was dark she couldn't recognize the mans face as he slowly took steps towards her. She quickly pulled out her hidden gun from her pants, aiming it at his head. When he came out of the light she was shook, she couldn't even move.

He had a big smirk on his face, "Hello, love." She scoffed and cocked the gun, it still being aimed at his head. "You're not gonna shoot me." He spoke calmly, she snarled her lip and raised a brow. "Why's that?"

"Because you love me." She didn't have any words, it was true. She did love him, she never stopped. But he didn't need to know that. "I stopped loving you, the minute you left me alone in Italy." He raised a brow, easily grabbing the gun. He took out the ammo and tossed it to the side.

"How'd you do that?"

"Don't be dumb, darling. You're the one who taught me that." She held her stomach and took a breath, "What are you going to do? Kill me? Take down worlds most wanted assassin?" He only chuckled and laid his hand on her waist.

"I would never hurt you." He gently pressed his lips against hers, shocking her but she kissed back. She let out a gasp when she felt two bullets pierce into her sides. Deckard looked at who shot her and snarled when he seen his brother pass by with a smirk. "I couldn't let her live brother." Then he left, Valerie' knees buckled and she fell to the floor, bleeding out.

"No, no, no, wake up baby. Come on, love. Don't pass out. Please." Deckard begged, she closed her eyes slowly, "Val!" Deckard looked up to see Hobbs running over. "I'll be back for you love." Then he took off, Hobbs panicked seeing guns and blood all over the road, his eyes landing on Valerie' wrecked car.

He ran and crouched beside her body, Riley soon approaching with an ambulance behind her. Hobbs held pressure on her wounds until the paramedics took her and treated her until they arrived to the headquarters. She couldn't go to the hospital or she'd be I.D'd and then she would immediately have been arrested.

They took her into a room and gave her some meds, she was passed out whilst the team discussed what they would do. Han took a seat beside her bed, Giselle right next to him. "You still have feelings for her?" Giselle asked, turning to him for a reply.

"I'm not sure. She's always been there, you know. I can't imagine life without her." He held onto Valerie' hand and glanced at her wrapped up stomach. "She's a tough woman. She's survived way worse than a gunshot wound." Giselle just wanted Han to be happy and if Val made him happy than she was okay with that.

"I know, and I know I can't be with her." Han sighed.

Giselle raised a brow in question, "She's in love with someone else. It's pretty obvious." Giselle knew this and just wanted to wait for Han to realize it as well. "I figured. Just don't worry about it, do what makes you happy."

"Being with you makes me happy." He confessed, Giselle smiled and placed a small kiss on his lips. "I know you kissed her. And I forgive you, you just wanted to know what you felt." Han smiled and kissed her again, they left the room, hand in hand.

Valerie groaned, standing up from her bed, glancing at her wrapped torso. She rolled her eyes and seen she was in some blue silk shorts with a matching top. She leaned onto the wall and exited to see everyone spread out trying to find Shaw and his crew.

"Why'd you let him go?" Dom asked, not even sparing a glance at Valerie. "Let him go? You think I let that bastard go?" Valerie scoffed, walking up to the vending machine and hitting it twice so a soda popped out. "Tej, pull up the cameras. See what really happened." Brian told Tej, making her really nervous since she had kissed Deckard.

Tej pulled it up and everyone gathered around, watching the fight between her and Shaw, Dom got pissed when she dropped the gun. Fortunately, the footage was edited and Deckard was nowhere to be seen in it. "We could've had him." Dom exclaimed, banging his fist on the table.

Valerie looked down, slightly ashamed she let her ego get in the way of killing Owen. "We? No! I have been the only one actually able to get a face to face match with him! You know what? Screw this! I'll get the job down myself." Valerie began to walk out but her arm was being held.

"Let go of me. Now. Hobbs." She snarled, "No, because we still need your help." She rubbed her arm once Hobbs let it go. Glancing at everyone in the room she rolled her eyes and walked to her car she had brought when she first arrived at the hideout.

"This is crazy man," Val hears Roman say making her lift my head from working her current work at the computers with Tej. "What you talkin' about now?" Tej asks lifting his head as well to hear what Roman had to say. Probably something really stupid.

"I'm sitting here looking at these images. It's like were hunting our evil twins." He said making Valerie chuckle while he points at the images with his chocolate bar in hand.

"Look at this black dude right here, he's handsome. That's clearly me." Roman says making Valerie chuckle. "Wait, I think you're onto something, Roman," Roman sends her a flirty look, "You both got big ass foreheads." Tej started to burst out laughing whilst Roman rolled his eyes.

Roman sent her a glare but continued saying his piece. "We got a white Hobbs," He says pointing to a bulky white dude making Valerie nod. "This is Han," He says pointing to white man whos bald and she glanced at Han with a satisfied look making Valerie giggle. "And Tej it's an African in a beenie. That your mini-me man." Roman mocks making Valerie laugh.

Tej was clearly annoyed, but she just put her hand on his shoulder. Making him silently question her. "Is he always this annoying? Like he cannot shut his big ass mouth." Tej chuckled and sent her a small nod, she removed her hand from his shoulder and leaned her head back on him.

"And Brian!" He calls out to Brian from across the room. Brian's head shoots towards them. "When did you do this photo shoot?" Roman asks pointing at an image of a blonde female which made Valerie laugh again. Brian smiled and flipped his middle finger. "I'm just playing man. You know you're the prettiest blonde around here." Roman says with a big smile.

"I'll be right back?" Tej nods and she got up from her spot and walked over to the window. Taking in the view, she sat down and closed her eyes. Roman watches as she hums to herself, "What is she doing?" Tej looks up from his work and sees Valerie trying to calm herself down and clear her thoughts.

"Probably tryin' control herself from killing you." Valerie chuckled and sent a wink to Tej, Roman rolled his eyes at the pair and but into his candy bar.

"Roman, Gisele, Han, your up," Dom said and the three left as Valerie stood back up and walked back over to Tej. She kept scrolling through the footage of her fight with Shaw. "I was so close to killing him." She mumbled, Tej turned to her and placed a comforting hand on her leg. "Hey, it's okay. We have plenty of other chances to get him."

She sent a half closed smiled and glanced back at the footage, where she dropped the gun and began to fight Shaw. "I'm so selfish. I should've just shot him and we wouldn't be here right now."

"Defending your family, is not selfish. That's loyalty, you just wanted to avenge your brother. It's nothing we all wouldn't do for each other." She smiled and closed the laptop,
she walked back over to her car and hopped in. Soon there was a knock on it, she rolled down the window and was met with Giselle, who she thought left. "Did you want to come with us?"

"I'll catch up. Let me get changed and I'll meet you there." Giselle nodded and walked away, Valerie got out of her car and walked to her room. Finding something hot to wear, she got dressed and arrived to the address Han had sent her.
