28th August- Berlin, Germany
Han and Gisele's apartment
Dom's POV
"I set up the meeting for tonight, he seems pleased." I nodded to Han as I sat on the floor of the apartment watching Alexis lie on her rug on the floor. He looked down, smiling as he too watched for a moment. We had been here for two days, resting up and trying to pick up some more information on the boss and other team.
"Where's Mia?" He asked.
"Gone to the store with Gisele, they should be back soon." I spoke, seeing Brian enter the room.
"I was wondering where you two got to." He said looking between me and Alexis. I smiled sitting back against the lounge as everyone suddenly filled the room, including Mia and Gisele who had just stepped through the door with groceries.
"So what's the plan for tonight?" Tej asked.
"Well I thought Han, Gisele, Brian and me would go and you lot stay here with Mia." I said looking at them for confirmation. They all nodded happy with the arrangement as we lay around talking and watching Alexis until it was time to leave.

Carlos' Club
"It's his club so be careful." Gisele said as we walked in after giving our names to the bouncer. We were met straight away with a young woman as she guided us to Carlos.
"Ah Han, Gisele it's good to see you again. I'm glad you agreed to my proposal."
"Well we haven't, at least not yet. We wanted to talk business first." Han said as I let him take the lead.
"Of course." He said
"Dom, Brian." Han said introducing us.
"I know who you are. You're very wanted people around the world." His eyes landing on me almost instantly.
"Yeah well I'm sure we can keep that one between us, that we're here I mean." Brian said to the man.
"Of course. I have no interest in dealing with the law, I just want my weapons."
"How many jobs are we talking about pulling?" Han asked getting right down to business.
"Ten. There's more one vehicle that's targeted at a time so while you're a team you are going to have to split to work on this. I hope that won't be a problem…"
"We have no problem with that." I said speaking for the first time.
"I didn't think you would. There's an old abandoned warehouse you can work out of, not far actually from the other team but I figured you wouldn't want to work so closely with them." I smiled tensely at him and nodded in thanks. We'd be staying out of their way my only hope was they would return the favour.
"As for your cars you'll find them in the warehouse along with anything else you might need. Guns, bullets… you get the idea."
"I have a question how are we getting paid?" Brian asked.
"At the end of every job just to prove I won't go back on my word. Works out to be about two hundred and fifty million for all ten jobs."
"For both teams." I stated he smirked.
"No for each team. I'm a very very wealthy man Mr Toretto." We were completely silent as we thought about it.
"That's 15 million per job." Han said shocked.
"I know, that's nearly $17 million each to take away"
"That would obviously go down if we don't pull off ten jobs seeing as we are competing against another team." Brian stated.
"I'm sorry maybe I didn't make it clear enough. Its ten jobs each team, still making it that amount each team." It was silent again as I looked at the rest of them and then nodded.
"We'll take your job."
"Excellent I'd start gathering Intel tomorrow if I we're you. The other team pulled a job last night, managing three trucks worth of weapons. They have seven jobs left, I hope it won't take you too long to catch up." I nodded as we shook hands.
"One last thing though, if by some chance trouble does happen and you need to leave I won't stop you and you can keep all the money that you would have received but try not to let that happen. I don't want another repeat of what I had to do to deal with the last girl that fucked up." Frowning slightly as I remembered Han's words about the girl. We nodded in agreement and left, walking back into the club.
"That's a shit load of money. I thought ten was big." Brian said as we stopped at the bar to get a drink.
"Yeah it is." I said quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just wondering why this seems so easy."
"It's not easy as such it's just high risk. Jumping military trucks, nearly as stupid as jumping normal semi's." I smirked at Brian as I realised he was talking about LA.
"Yeah well, it was going fine until I fucked it all up."
"Yeah well we won't be fucking this one up."
"No we won't." I agreed.

Carlos' club
General POV
One female watched from her spot at the table, it was dark in this end of the bar the only light was the neon lights that were bouncing off the walls and the people dancing on the dance floor. She kept one eye on the small group as she spoke quietly to her German friend who was talking to her. Feeling uneasy about being in the club she took one last look at the large male and his companions before suddenly turning to her friend and spoke.
"I need to leave, see you back at the house." The woman said as she rose from her seat quickly afraid they'd turn her way and left fleeing out the back door in a hurry.
The small German girl, Ana as they called her tilted her head and kept her eye on the bald headed man and his company as they spoke and drank at the bar. Ana had watched her friend's face as they walked out of Carlos' private area and knew that these men and the woman were people who made her friend uneasy to the point where she had run. It wasn't like Lia to leave so suddenly.
The woman they were with spoke suddenly after the silence they sat in and suddenly all eyes turned in her direction. Damn she'd been caught staring. Standing up she smiled briefly at the bar tender who looked her way before sparing another glance to the group as they watched her with interest. She too got an uneasy feeling as she caught the eye of the bald man his eyes were deep and it felt like he could see straight through her. Feeling self-conscious she too followed the route of her friend and fled out the back door to her car. She'd have to remember to ask her friend if she knew them.
Brian's POV
We watched as the young woman Gisele had caught staring turn and hurry out the back door of the club sparing another glance back at us as she did so.
"Well that was odd." Han said.
"She might be a part of the other team." I said quietly.
"Maybe, but she was staring at Dom more so than us." Gisele stated.
"She was probably lusting after Dom." I laughed at Han's words and Dom shook his head at us.
"I wonder where her friend went." Gisele wondered out loud.
"What friend?"
"There was another woman with her at one point staring as well but she just suddenly got up and left."
"It's probably nothing Gisele. We better head back fill everyone in on how the meeting went." Dom said. I cracked a smile.
"Yeah that's code for quick I need to get back to my niece." I stated laughing as Gisele and Han joined in after hearing of the story between him and my daughter. I didn't care that she wasn't a daddy's girl I loved her no matter what. After Dom's story of Letty and the D.R I didn't mind sharing my daughter in the sense of not being the only male role model in her life, at least I knew she'd be well looked after.
"Yeah alright O'Connor, I miss her. I know you're just as eager to see her too now can we go home already?"
"Yes uncle Dom we can go home now." I laughed at the glare he sent me but I patted him on the back as we all walked out of the club.
