31st August- Berlin, Germany
Berlin military base
Dom's POV
It had been a long couple of days as the team and I staked out the military base watching and following the convoys on their routes. On the third night watch we caught glimpses of the other team out an about but from where they were we could only make out hushed and hurried voices and dark outlines of people moving around. After gathering as much Intel as possible and adding it to what we already knew I was convinced that the way we did the LA hijackings would work this time around as well with a few little changes. As we stood in silence, watching from a distance as the vehicle's tail lights vanished in the darkness. After they disappeared we turned to leave knowing that come tomorrow night we too would be out there running against them.

"So what we're going to follow the plan you guys had in LA?" Tej asked.
"Well with exceptions, obviously we're going to attack from behind not from the front or it will just give them reason to shoot." Brian explained.
"So what are we going to do with the driver's?" Roman asked.
"Well after we tranquilize them we drive to our meet up point, transfer all the weapons into our cars and then place the driver in the back of the truck. Someone will then have to drive the truck as far as they can away and someone will follow to pick them up and get out of there while the rest of us meet Carlos at the collection point." I stated there were nods around the table as everyone seemed okay with the plan.
We were in the warehouse we'd been given to use getting ready to pack it up and head back to the apartment until tomorrow night.
"Alright so what time tomorrow?" Gisele asked.
"We'll arrive here at sunset and leave just after the suns gone down so that we can move more freely in the dark." Brian said as we packed up and headed out to our cars.
"Try and sleep as much as you can today guys; we have a long night ahead of us." I said as I realised it was well into the morning.
When we got back to the apartment I went to bed but I couldn't sleep instead I found myself just lightly dosing on and off making me feel even more tired when I woke.
True to our word we arrived back at the warehouse at sunset prepping all our gear and readying ourselves for a big night ahead. Rico and Tego were in charge of driving one of the cars and Brian the other while the rest of us made the jumps and took on the drivers.
The first one went more smoothly than expected and the high it brought afterwards felt great. Han and I worked together but I realised after that night I wasn't cut out for the jumping; that was why I hadn't done it in LA. With that Brian and I planned to swap the next job and I'd switch and take over the driving side of things.
The high we all felt kept us unable to sleep long after we'd made the delivery and picked up the money. The money had already been divided up into shares, Brian and I had safely tucked ours away, but still within reach, in case we had to do a runner.

Han and Gisele's apartment
"Did everything go alright last night?" Mia questioned me the next morning after she handed me a plate of eggs and bacon. I nodded, smiling as I kissed her cheek.
"Fine. Better than I thought to be honest."
"Did you see the other team out there?"
"No not a sign. It was a little unnerving really; I thought for sure they'd be out there last night." Han said as he entered the room.
"Yeah same, I thought for sure we'd run into them but there was not even a glimpse of them." I explained as my phone started ringing. I looked down and I sighed as I saw Elena's name on the screen.
"Hey." I said quietly as I left the room.
"Hey, I was just checking up on you making sure you were doing okay."
"Yeah I'm good."
"How's Mia and Lexie?"
"They're good, she's growing pretty quickly that's for sure. How are you?" I asked as I settled in the lounge.
"I'm good, keeping busy with work and everything. I'm actually ringing to tell you I don't really know when I'll be over next, works pretty full on right now."
"Oh that's okay I didn't expect you back anytime soon." I said somewhat relieved that she wasn't planning a visit in the upcoming weeks. Telling her where I was and what I was doing wouldn't go down well.
"Yeah it's probably going to be a month or so before I'm out there again. My boss is getting a little strict with leave as well." She explained.
"It's fine, there's no need to rush." I spoke truthfully. We continued talking for a little while before we said our goodbyes.
"What did Elena want?" Mia asked as I walked back into the room with everyone else.
"Just letting me know she wasn't planning a trip over to the house anytime soon."
"I guess that's one good thing, I assume you haven't told her?" I nodded at Tej's question.
"We should probably get to planning out next one." Han said to me quietly as Mia walked out of the room with Lexie. I nodded in agreement and we started planning. We knew roughly based on all the commotion from the heists that eventually it wouldn't be so easy, it would only get harder and the trips the convoys would become less frequent and more heavily guarded.
"I say for the next week or so we scout out how often they make the trips. They might even change routes and add another person in with the driver." Brian said as we sat planning in the dining room.
"Yeah I think Brian's right. From my experience one person per truck won't last long, by the end of the week they'll have at least two per truck." Gisele said as we planned to tap into all available surveillance cameras and speed cameras we could without causing too much suspicion.
"Tego, Rico do you think you'd be able to wire us in again?" I asked as they nodded.
"Han start hunting down all cameras in the area that we're able to gain access too."
"On it." He said as he opened his laptop.
"Tej you can work with Rico and Tego. Help them out." Brian said as Tej nodded.
"Okay we have about ten that are all hooked up to the same point, all spread throughout the city.
"Think you'll be able to hit them tonight?" I asked the boys and they nodded.
"We got this man." Tego responeded and I nodded gratefully.
"You gunna connect to the wrong wire again." Rico said to Tego.
"Man you so negative…" I rolled my eyes and drowned out their bickering.
"Yeah man we'll start right after dark." Tej said as I turned to him. I nodded pleased enough with his answer before smiling as Mia came back into the room with Alexis.
"Brian can you put her to bed so I can go and have a shower please?" Mia said as Brian took her.
"What no sexy lovin' for my man here?" Roman joked as Mia laughed at him.
"No." she said laughing. I pulled a face and took my niece out of Brian's arms covering her ears.
"Shhh don't listen to Uncle Roman Lexie. He's saying bad things." I said quietly to Alexis who was looking around at everyone in interest.
"So you never did answer that question. Did he smack that ass or did he like grab it and hold onto it?" Tej asked.
"Dude watch it that's my sister. I don't need to know what they get up too." I said as I glared at Roman and Tej who continued to crack jokes about Brian still trying to get him back for his comment from over the phone.
"Well how do you think Alexis got here?" Brain said as I groaned and hit him as the rest of the room laughed at my discomfort.
