The Cop And The Criminal

50.6

Kassidy wakes to the sunrise before smiling up at Dom, who is asleep. Kassidy traces her fingers along his arm before she looks out at their ocean view. Kassidy kisses Dom on the forehead before getting out of bed and getting dressed. Kassidy grabs a beer before walking outside. Kassidy takes a drink of her beer before working on an engine.
"This is what 100 million buys?" Hobbs asks as he stands a few feet behind Kassidy. Dom wakes from the voice that isn't Kassidy's. "It wasn't hard to find you, Pearce."
"We weren't hiding," Kassidy says as she turns to look at Hobbs.
"How's the life of retired international criminals?" Hobbs asks as he walks over to Kassidy.
"I like it here. It's quiet," Kassidy answers him with a smile. "Nice weather, and no extradition. So what are you doing here, cop?"
"Last Tuesday, a team of highly coordinated drivers took down an entire military convoy in Russia," Hobbs explains.
"We don't do cold weather," Kassidy tells him.
"I know it wasn't you," Hobbs replies. "But you're going to help me catch the team responsible."
"You can't touch us, Hobbs. You've got no powers..." Dom starts as he walks over to Kassidy.
"I'm not here to extradite anyone," Hobbs tells him. "See, you both are going to come voluntarily. As a matter of fact, you're both going to beg me." Dom and Kassidy look at Hobbs confused. "This was taken a week ago." Hobbs hands Dom a file. "I'll see you both out front." Dom opens the file as Kassidy watches Hobbs walk away. Dom tenses up at the picture he sees.
"It's Letty, isn't it?" Kassidy asks with a tremble to her voice.
"It's impossible," Dom says as Kassidy looks at the picture.
"If there is a chance that this is her, no matter how small, we should go," Kassidy says before Dom pulls her into a hug, knowing how hard this is for her. Dom and Kassidy walk outside to find Hobbs waiting.
"I'm going to need everything, all the info you got," Dom says as he and Kassidy lean against his car.
"You'll get it when the team gets it," Hobbs tells him.
"No team," Dom says with a shake of his head. "This is going to have to be us alone." Dom motions between him and Kassidy.
"It's not that simple," Hobbs says. "The crew we're after, they hit like thunder and disappear like smoke. You go in alone, you won't ever touch them. I've been chasing this guy across four continents and 12 countries, and believe me, the last damn place I want to be right now is on your front doorstep, selling Girl Scout cookies. I need your help, Dom. I need your team."
