4th February- Canary Islands, Spain
Letty's beach house
Letty's POV
"Where are you?" I demanded throwing myself into full fight or flight mode.
"About ten minutes out of Cadiz." Her voice was hushed and breathless.
"Are you being followed?" I asked.
"Chased, at least I was. I think I've lost him."
"Leon and I are on our way. Meet us at the spot." I ordered before I shut the phone.
"What's happening?" Dom demanded the minute I was off the phone.
"Hobbs is chasing Lotty. Leon we need to get her out of there." I spoke as I faced him. He nodded and moved back towards the house.
"Mia and Rosa can you mind the kids?" Dom asked.
"Of course."
"NO." I snapped.
"Letty you're not going without me." Dom bit back but I shook my head.
"This is my fight not yours, besides Ava needs at least one of us here." I spoke gently.
"Then you stay, I'll go."
"Dom I need to do this and I need to do this on my own. I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Letty Dom's right. We should do this together, plan this out."
"Brian we don't have time to plan things out. Hobbs will kill her if I don't get to her first."
"That's even more of a reason for us all to go." Han spoke up. I growled in frustration as I glared at them all.
"Leon and I have been doing this for over a year, we have it handled. We need you all here in case something goes wrong and you guys need to leave."
"Letty's right, you guys can't come with us. We need you here." Leon spoke as he joined us again with a black bag and a file.
I looked to Dom silently, pleading with him to let me go.
"Fine you have twenty four hours and if you're not back by then I'm coming after you." He snapped, his eyes boring directly into mine.
"Okay." I agreed. He was silent for a few beats before he let out a breath and drew me into him.
"Just promise me you'll come back in one piece." He whispered into my hair.
"I promise. Just look after our daughter." I spoke.
"Always. I mean it; twenty four hours and then I'm hunting your arse down." I smiled and pulled away.
"I get it." I accepted his kiss before we pulled away for good. Leon was standing with Elena talking quietly but when his eyes met mine we knew it was time to move.
"Keep in contact."
"We'll try." Leon promised as we made our way to the car. I kissed Ava on the cheek before I slid behind the wheel.
"Bring her back." Mia spoke quietly before I revved the engine, pulling it back onto the road.
"You ready for this?" I asked as we drove towards the terminal.
"We were born ready for this." Leon joked and I couldn't help but smile.
'Hold on Lotty, we're coming for you.'
4th February- Cadiz, Spain
Lotty’s POV
I stood in the shadows of the empty park waiting. It had been dubbed our meeting place when Leon had moved to the mainland.
I couldn’t help but keep looking around suspiciously. I hadn’t been the type to miscalculate and get something wrong, especially not in these circumstances. Trailing Hobbs for months had been so easy, nothing had looked suspicious.
‘Maybe it had been too easy.’ I thought as I shivered.
“Did you really think you could outrun me Charlotte.” I froze, my entire being going numb. His voice was too familiar and too close, way too close.
“Hobbs.” I choked out as I turned.
“Nice to finally meet face to face. Watching you for weeks from a distance gets tiring.”
“You knew I was following you?” I asked though judging from his smug smirk I already had my answer.
“Of course I knew. Didn’t know who you were at first, then when I found out I didn’t believe it. Yet here you stand in front of me so the file must be true.”
“So now what are you going to do?” I asked looking him in the eye. His lips turned upwards even more and a chilling feeling settled over me.
“Go hunting now that I have the bait.” He answered before I was grabbed from behind and slammed into a tree. I winced as I struggled but the person was stronger, overpowering me with no effort. The feel of cool metal around my wrists had me surrendering.
“So let’s go find the others shall we?” Hobbs taunted as I struggled against my restraints and the person's hold.
“Go to hell.” I spat.
“Fiesty… I like my women like that.”
“I don’t date cops Luke.”
"Pity."
