The Cop And The Criminal

40.5

"Oh, no. Guys, guys! Guys, we have a problem," Mia says from her spot at the computer as each of their profiles pop up on the screen.

"The whole team just got burnt," Brian says from his spot beside her.

"Now we're all wanted," Mia says as she goes back to looking at the computer.

"How did this happen?" Gisele asks as the team walks over.

"US Diplomatic Security Service issued the warrants," Mia answers her as she types on the computer. "Agent L. Hobbs."

"Hold on one second," Brian tells her before pulling up a picture. "Hey, Dom. Is that the guy you saw in the favela?"

"Yeah," Dom answers him.

"Hobbs is the leader of the elite task force for the DSS," Kassidy starts explaining, remembering him from when she was a cop.

"So he's good?" Tej asks.

"When the FBI wants to find somebody, that's who they call," Brian answers him. "Because he never misses his mark. This guy is Old Testament. Blood, bullets, wrath of God. That's his style."

"And right now he's hunting us?" Mia asks him worriedly.

"Dom, we got to move up our timeline," Han says as he looks at him.

"Yeah, but how?" Rome asks. "This thing's already been difficult without Wyatt Earp on our asses. If anything we need more room to breath."

"My brother's right," Kassidy says as she forms a plan, causing everyone to look around confused. "I think we need to get some fresh air."

"We've got a hit. '70s Charger," Fusco calls from his spot at his computer.

"Let's get a move on," Hobbs says as he tosses a vest to Hunt.

"Eastbound on Avenida Atlantica," Fusco informs them as they all grab their things. Hobbs and his team quickly race towards where the car is going.

"It stopped about a block ahead," Hunt tells Hobbs.

"Park it. We're going on foot," Hobbs orders over his walkie.

Dom is leaning against his car, with Kassidy leaning against him, as the team enjoys the atmosphere around them.

"Hey, Toretto," Hobbs calls as he and his team walk towards them. Dom turns towards him with a smirk. "You're under arrest."

"Arrest?" Dom asks him. "I don't feel like I'm under arrest. How about you, Brian, Kass?"

"No, not a bit," Brian answers her.

"Not even a little bit," Kassidy says in agreement.

"Just give it a minute. It'll sink in," Hobbs tells them before Kassidy catches sight of her and Dom's necklace around Elena's neck.

"We didn't kill those feds. That was Reyes," Brian states.

"I don't give a shit," Hobbs says with a glare. "I'm just here to bring in three assholes whose names hit my desk."

"Yeah, sounds like a real hero," Kassidy taunts him.

"That's funny," Hobbs says as he steps forward. "From the girl who took the oath of cop alongside a guy who also took the oath, then both went against everything it stood for. Or being the lover of some wannabe tough guy prick who beat a man half to death with a socket wrench. Yeah, real tough. You turn around and put your hands behind your back."

"I don't think so," Dom says as he walks towards Hobbs.

"Your mistake is thinking you got a goddamn choice, boy," Hobbs tells him as he takes a step closer before his team quickly raises their guns.

"And you're mistake?" Dom says with a smirk. "Thinking you're in America. You're a long way from home. This is Brazil." Dom raises his arms, causing all of the men around them to raise their guns at Hobbs' team. Dom smirks at Hobbs as Hunt walks up to him.

"Come on, boss. Another day," Hunt tells him. "Come on, H, it's a lot of heat."

"I'll see you soon, Toretto," Hobbs says to Dom.

"I look forward to it, Cop," Dom responds with a smirk. Hobbs walks off before his team follows. They drive off before Tej leans up and calls Mia.

"Tracker's on," Tej tells her.

"Got them," Mia responds as she types on the computer.

Elena goes home to her apartment. Elena sets her gun on a dresser by the door before taking off her vest, throwing it on the bed, before she hears someone. As Elena grabs her gun, her mouth is covered and she is shoved into the wall. Elena looks at Kassidy in shock before Kassidy jerks her necklace off of Elena's neck, turning to leave.

"I don't understand. Why come here? Why risk it all for $20 worth of silver?" Elena questions her causing her to stop.

"Because it's worth it," Kassidy answers her as she looks back at her.

"You should run, you know. Hobbs will find you. You have every reason to leave. Why stay?" Elena asks her causing Kassidy to let out a sigh before she looks at the pictures of Elena and her husband.

"Family," Kassidy answers her before Elena follows her gaze to the pictures. Kassidy unloads the gun before dropping it on the ground, turning to leave.

"You didn't kill those men in the train, did you?" Elena asks her causing Kassidy to face her.

"Now, why would you believe anything I would tell you?" Kassidy asks her back before opening the door.

"Hey! He's so special to you?" Elena asks her causing Kassidy to freeze.

"I never thought anyone could understand how much," Kassidy says with a sigh. "But you do." Kassidy walks out, leaving Elena stunned.
