My Agent

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

"It's hotter than I thought it would be," Rome states as he and Tej look out at the water.
"Yeah, well, we are in the desert, so it would be hot," Alex retorts as she looks around the beach.
"Oh, no, I ain't talking about the weather," Rome says as Ramsey walks out of the water. "My, my, my."
"Now, that is a woman that's worth falling out a plane for," Tej says as they watch Ramsey grab a towel.
"Get out of there, man, I got dibs on that," Rome says with a shake of his head. "You've seen me looking at that."
"Did you just say 'dibs'?" Tej asks Rome as Alex rolls her eyes at them. "What are you, in the fourth grade?"
"Man, can you just get out of there?" Rome asks him back.
"I mean, it's a free market," Tej tells him.
"What are you talking about? Get out of there," Rome argues with him.
"Rock, paper, scissors for her," Tej says as he holds up his fist.
"Are you guys for real right now?" Alex asks them as Rome holds his fist up as well before he wins.
"Look at you. You both look whupped already. You got stalker eyes," Letty teases them causing Brian and Alex to laugh while Dom stands up with a smile on his face.
"I tried to call dibs on Ramsey two years ago," A man says as he walks up to them. "Her knee, my balls. Trust me, you don't wanna do that." Ramsey starts walking over to them. "Hey! Ramsey!"
"Hello, Safar," Ramsey says before they hug.
"I see you make some new friends," Safar says as he looks at everyone.
"Yeah, some short-tempered new friends," Ramsey says in agreement. "I need the speed drive I sent you. Where is it?"
"Oh, good. You will be pleased to know I sold it," Safar answers her.
"You sold it?" Ramsey asks him in disbelief.
"You hear that?" Letty asks Dom, who turns to face them.
"I asked you to take care of it," Ramsey tells Safar. "Why on Earth would you sell it?"
"We're gonna need it back," Dom says as he walks over to Ramsey and Safar.
"Impossible," Safar tells him.
"Safar, I stashed something inside it. It's important," Ramsey explains to him.
"Okay, okay," Safar tries to calm her down. "Uh, good news. It is safe."
"And the bad news?" Ramsey asks with a sigh.
"It is very safe," Safar answers her, before leading them to where they can see three tall buildings. "I sold it to a Jordanian prince living up there. Trust fund billionaire. Said he wanted to use it for his supercar."
"Now, see, this? This, I like," Rome says with a smile. "Billionaire, supercar..."
"What makes it so super?" Alex asks as she rolls her eyes at Rome.
"242 miles per hour, top speed," Safar answers her. "And it's bulletproof."
"242..." Rome says as he looks at Safar excitedly. "Am I the only one aroused right now? It's, like, you know what I'm saying?" No one laughs or smiles with Rome. "Whatever."
"Where does he keep it?" Dom asks Safar.
"In his penthouse. Tower number one," Safar answers as he points to the tower.
"Now, why in the hell would he keep his car in his penthouse?" Tej asks.
"He's a billionaire, my friend," Safar answers him with a smirk. "He can do whatever he wants. Now, tomorrow happens to be the longest day of the year. The prince wants to celebrate it and host a party tomorrow afternoon."
"So you can get us up there, right?" Brian asks Safar.
"Sure," Safar answers him. "But, uh, not dressed like that."

Ramsey is looking at her dress for the party before she walks over to the bed, grabbing her bags to leave.
"Going somewhere?" Alex asks her as she catches her trying to leave. "Guess you're not the only one that can read people."
"Look it's nothing personal," Ramsey says as she walks over to her. "I appreciate what you guys did for me and you seem like a decent group of um... Actually I'm not entirely sure what you are because no one will tell me."
"We're family," Alex tells her with a smile.
"Yes," Ramsey says with a chuckle. "Well there's our first problem right there. Not really my style. I don't play well with others. Never have. In case you hadn't noticed my line of work isn't a particularly social pursuit."
"Yet you created a device with the sole purpose of finding people," Alex says as she shakes her head.
"Listen, God's Eye was a dare to myself to prove how good I was," Ramsey explains to her. "I knew it was dangerous but I had to finish it. Too brilliant. I know I should have destroyed it but..." Ramsey shakes her head with a sigh.
"But you didn't. Seems to me like you was searching for something," Alex finishes for her. "And now look where we are. You know a girl that runs from everything, I think sooner or later has to take a hard look at themselves and see who she is really running from."
"Says the girl who probably tries to fix everyone," Ramsey says as she walks closer to Alex in challenge. "She should probably take an equally long look at herself. See who really needs fixing."
"I guess life isn't as binary as you thought," Alex slightly taunts her.
"What do you want from me Alex?" Ramsey asks her in slight defeat.
"Stop running for starters," Alex begins to answer her with a shrug.
"Are you suggesting that I join your team?" Ramsey asks her with a chuckle.
"You haven't earned that yet," Alex answers her with a smirk. "Also that's not my call but I'm sure you can earn it."
"And I guess you're going to tell me how to do that," Ramsey says with a shake of her head.
"I just did. Stop running," Alex tells her before looking at her dress. "Nice dress by the way." Alex leaves the room as Ramsey looks back at her dress.

"Well, well. This is the most mafia I've seen this crew look," Rome says as Dom and Brian walk over to him, Ramsey, Alex, and Tej.
"Roman, I'll tell you that's a good thing," Dom says with a smirk.
"Wait. Wait. Wait," Tej says with a smile. "Y'all hear Dom? I hear him, I just don't see him."
"I see him," Alex says as she joins the teasing. "That boy cleaned up on us." Everyone notices Letty walking down the stairs before Dom walks over to her in slight shock at her beauty.
"My, my, my. This is a whole nother level, baby," Rome says as they all look at Letty.
"What? You boys never seen a girl in a dress before?" Letty questions them with a smirk.
"I mean I have but you know I've never seen you looking quite so..." Rome answers her before turning to Tej. "Is that boluptuous?"
"It's voluptuous with a v," Tej explains to him.
"Oh voluptuous," Rome corrects himself.
"You ready to do this?" Letty asks Dom before leading the way out of the building.
