     SHE LOOKED UPON THE HORIZON, the warm breeze leaving a nice feeling on her exposed skin. It is couple of hours before the final battle and the redhead couldn't think of anything better than watching the sunset at the same spot, she used to sit every day. She takes her last sip of her drink that could propably be her last. No-one never really knows. They already had a plan, a crazy one at that but it wasn't like she did expect anything else.

    ,,Can i join?" A voice calls out from behind her, grass crunching from the weight of their feet. The woman turn around, looking up to her new company, catching glimpse of their brown eyes and their arms which were placed behind their back.

    She shruggs softly. ,,Depends, on what you have behind your back." Jessica exclaims, watching Deckard and his movements. The man pulled out from behind his back, two bottles of beer, forming his eyes into slits to have a proper look at the female.

    ,,Budweiser." He says, gazing at her through the shining sun. For an answer she whips her left hand out, the male handing her one of the bottles without a question and slowly making his way to sit down by her side.

    The cold, wet, bottle was a refreshing feeling from the hot sunlight that fell on her skin. The green eyed agent smiles slightly at the gorgeous view they had, it felt quite peaceful and looked like it too. Just the opposite of the situation they're under. ,,It's beautiful." She comments, softly, taking her first sip of her drink.

    Shaw humms beside her, looking at the nature before him, before turning at the redhead and her small awestruck smile on her lips. ,,Yeah." His staring goes unnoticed by her and if she did catch him staring, she wouldn't pick up on it.

    ,,How's Hattie?" Question the long haired woman after a moment of silence. It feels like they had everytime in the world, watching the sunset, drinking alcohol and just chating like a normal couple.

    ,,How you would feel if a virus that could wipe out half the population was inside you and you had just few hours to live?" Deckard fires back but it didn't sound harsh nor arrogant but it still make her raise an eyebrow at him. ,,She's fine." He said, putting his bottle of Budweiser to his lips.

     She shakes her head slightly at him, giving him a look. ,,Never thought that family will mean this much to you..." The redhead muttered, her long hair swiping to her right shoulder. At the statement the British male glance at her with a small offended look on his face.

     ,,Hey, I am not a monster." Deckard says, placing his hand over his heart before nudging her with his shoulder. ,,I have feelings too, you know." The movement makes her smile, maybe too widely but she let it go.

     ,,I didn't mean it like that —" The woman clarifies, not even finishing her sentence because he already had a feeling that she was going to say something like that.

    ,,I know." The two smirk at each other, before turning to gaze at the scenery before them, while they together take a small sip of their beers. When she turn back to him, he was already opening his mouth with a expression that made his features soften. ,,Do you have a family?"

    The question stings a little, still after all these years but she found a way to get over it. ,,Other than Luke and Dom...no." The agent said because the thing is — these people showed her that they will be always here for her and she almost lost it after her real family died but them, they made her whole again.

     Jessica leans the bottle to her lips to take a big sip, like some kind of toast but his staring makes her pull the bottle back down. ,,Ah, don't look at me like that." The female says, shoving him with her fist to make him loosen up. ,,You already knew." It was the truth but hearing it come from her lips, hearing the tone of her voice. She started to trust him and he could say the same about her.

     The redhead then finally drinks bit of her alcohol before continuing. ,,Seems like being one of the most famous trackers, everyone knows about you more than you know about yourself."

     He nodds because he understand her, he knew the feeling. He couldn't remember a minute in his life that he could just relax and live like a normal civilian but this was the job he choose. Deckard sighs in to the warm air and his eyebrows furrowed when he hears unexpected noice coming from her lips.

     She laughed and hard.

   ,,What?" He asked, a chuckle coming from his lips as he looks down at her figure that flopped down on the grass that his fingers were playing with the whole time.

    She shakes her head, grinning from ear to ear, her green eyes looking deeply into his brown ones. ,,Can't believe I am talking about this...with you."

     He can't decide between being offended or amused but seeing the big smile on her face, it makes him do the same before chuckling softly with her. ,,Do you want to have your own family?" Shaw asks bluntly, still looking at the woman. Her fiery red hair made a halo around her head, making her look like an angel with devil's horns.

    She ignores the feeling in her chest as she catches his eyes again. ,,Yes...but I can't."

    ,,Why not?"

    ,,Why not?" She repeat the question, thinking about her answer. ,,I made so much enemies that having a family would make a new way how to kill me."

    ,,Maybe you need someone with a same reputation." The man slowly tells her, glancing down at her.

    ,,Yeah..." She smiles, not moving her gaze from his eyes, watching as his own smile finds it way onto his lips.

     ,,JONAH."

     ,,Look, don't rush me." Exclaimed the named man, glancing at his brother and then back to the device in his hands. With her hand wrapped around her probably fifth coffee that day, she sips quietly, gazing at the blonde female seated beside her who flicker her eyes weary at the mechanic.

     ,,It's almost dawn, he'll be here soon." Luke pressed further, fiddling with his hands. ,,Make it happen now. Now." She sighs into her cup, rolling her eyes at her best friend. This will only end up in another fight.

     ,,Hey, hey. Don't rush me." His brother repeats, not moving his gaze from the machine in his hands. ,,That's how mistakes are made."

     ,,How long does this process take?" The redhead wondered out loud.

    ,,It's 30 minutes and 33 till I go viral." Answers Hattie quickly, looking down at her before moving to whisper something to her brother which she could clearly hear because she stood right beside them. ,,Look, Deck, I think we need to seriously consider option one."

      ,,Don't strike a match just yet, Hats." Her brother said, not wanting to hear her said that again. ,,We are seriously gonna miss this window." Deckard exclaim, suddenly raising his tone. ,,Let's do this. Come on!" The man glares at the mechanic, loosing his patience and she could only agree with him because they didn't have much time left.

      ,,Fine, fine!" Said Jonah after hearing the protests sent his way and putting down his tools. ,,Here goes nothing." He putts the bracelet around her arm, the needle just right on her vein and making the agent put her hand on her shoulder.

      ,,Brace yourself, Hats."

     ,,It's ain't gonna be pleasant." Continue Luke, looking at her.

     ,,No, it's gonna be fine." Just as the sentence left her mouth, the needle penetrated her skin, making her jump at the sudden pain and squeezing the redhead's hand on her shoulder. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows at her in concern before glancing at the timekeeping, praying silently for it to work.

      Suddenly the time started to count down, making her sigh in relief. ,,It's working." She whispers, smiling up at her.

      ,,It's working." Clarified the dark skinned male, just as the room fills with cheers of joy, making the two females hug each others in relief. Another set of arms makes the green eyed woman jump slightly but then making her melt in the warm hug, catching eyes with her brother and releasing a small laugh of joy.

     ,,Hey!" The sudden call makes the whole room become silent and turn their attention to the direction of the voice. ,,They trigged the alarm."

     ,,That's him." Said the brother, glaring at the dark sky from behind the open doors, before looking back at the dark skinned agent with a knowing look.

     ,,As we planned?" Asked Luke.

     ,,As we planned." Deckard clarified.

     Everybody then goes to their positions, grabbing their weapons and armour on the way out. She did the same, putting her ownmade spear in her hand and following the others out in the open.

     The warm air hits her face, stopping for a moment after signaling Hattie she will be right back. Pulling her hair tie out of her hair, she let them flow pass her shoulders, even if she knew it would be better if she tie her hair back but the cool air going through her sweaty hair made it quite worth it.

     A body stopped close to hers and she already knew who it was just by the smell of their cologne. ,,Scared?" Questions the British male, glancing at her.

     ,,A little." She smiles, trying to loosen up the tension, her smile showing her small dimple on her left cheek. ,,You know after all this time being so close to death, I still can't get use to it." Jessica whispers slightly, biting the inside of her lip before raising an eyebrow at him. ,,You?"

      ,,I am never scared."

     ,,Of course, you aren't." She said sarcasm dripping from her lips, making them both grin. When the woman again turn to look at him, his mouth hanged open, like he wanted to say something but noise of vehicles in the distance were heared. making him shut it down right back. ,,Good luck." She exclaims quickly, the man sending her a nod back, watching her jogg to his sister.

     Her eyes follow the outline of their vehicles which quickly made their way closer to their sanctuary. She swallows the lump in her throat as she glance at the countdown on the blonde's back.

     Hattie watch her for a moment, looking up at her with a warm smile on her lips. ,,Jess?" Calls out the female Shaw, making the named woman turn around from the fireworks that they all set as a signal of their enemy's arrival. While gripping her spear tighter in her hand, she humms in response that she is listening. ,,Thank you for helping me and my brother." Her head shots up to look at her with a warm smile. ,,And I hope once this thing is over we could get a cup of good coffee."

     ,,I am counting on it." Says Jessica, pursing her lips from keeping her  smiling too much, she really missed some girl talk. The duo give each other last warm smiles before they both glance back behind them.

      Brixton was already there, standing just few feet away from them with his men standing behind him like a pack of wolves. Her eyes trailed over the big crowd, looking back to her best friend with a shaky breath. ,,Eteon, hold!" Calls out their enemy, stopping his soldiers from firing and the loudness of his voice making an echo that went through the whole sanctuary.

     It was quiet for a moment, the only sound being her heartbeat in her ears and the wind flying through her hair. A lights turned on behind Luke, creating a small spotlight and perfectly making the two females become invisible to the eye. All of them then watch the male agent call out for his brothers in his language. The speech was so similiar to the one  he always use to do at his daughter's games, it makes her smirks softly at Lore who stood there only watching, their whole plan becoming totally unnoticed by him.

     Luke's brothers stand up from the ground on to their feet with a war cry and it was then enough for the dark skinned enemy. ,,Do it." Suddenly said Brixton to his men, making the redhead snap her head to the blonde and her notebook.

     ,,Light 'em up!"

     They pull out their weapons ready to fire but just as they pulled the trigger the weapons became disconnected. The others watch with a victory while their enemies cry in confusion, making them all pull down their guns. ,,How long before the guns get back again?" She heard Brixton say over the yelling of his men, making her smugly smile in his face.

      They already knew that this is not going to end well for them as they saw Hobbs with his family pick up their weapons in their hands with last final words. ,,To war." Luke exclaimed, raising his weapon to strike a mine before him. It sets off, creating an explosion which destroyed the vehicle before it, making the car flip in their air and landing in the direction of their enemy.

     This last strike, was a signal for the male Shaw to drive from his place and turning on the car's tailpipe on fire. Everyone trun around to look in disbelief and defeat at the car going around them, setting on fire the circle of gasoline they pour on the ground, perfectly locking them enemy in place and with a no way to go out. ,,Here we go." Whispers Jessica, watching the two sides run at each other.

      Looking around her, she grabbs the first thing that her vision caught. Grabbing a piece of metal pipe, she turns back to her company. ,,Catch, blondie." At nickname Hattie raise her head from the computer in her hands, catching her new weapon just in time before it hits her.

      ,,Thanks." The blonde grins, putting down the notebook while she glance at the redhead who makes her way to the fight but still keeping herself close to the Shaw to defend her if needed.

     Immediately as she walks from the shadows, a man charge at her, making her kneel in a defence pose. She waits for him to get closer before smashing the spear in her hands at his legs, making him fall down on the ground and then swinging her leg to his head, knocking him out cold. It didn't take long for someone else to attack her and slowly she become surrounded with too many men to fight with.

     One of them grabbs on to her shoulder after she just successfully took one of them down. He forcefully shoves her on the ground and the redhead didn't think twice to do something about it. She kneeled down and twirled her leg sending the two men before her down. Taking advantage of the situation, she quickly crawl back to her spear which they knocked out of her hands. Grabbing it, the woman did a sharp turn, smashing the end of the spear into one of the man's head. He falls down quickly, making her attention go back to the other one but he wasn't there.

      Clashing of metal is heard from behind her that makes the Gray agent turn back. The woman saw Hattie struggling to keep up with the hits send her way from the men, making her immediately run to help the blonde female by striking down one of them. It hit him straight on the back of his neck, making him fall on to hard ground. Jessica then dodged quickly the fist send her way, while the blonde break loose from the man's grib and wen to fight back.

     The spear in her hand flew out of her grib as the male punch her in her stomach, making her cry out in pain. Without even looking back, she quickly without thinking crashed her body on his. His back hit the table and the woman took advantage of the moment, punching him in his jaw and then in his stomach, knocking him out for the time being. With a heavy sigh she threw him of off her on the ground next to others.

      Holding on to her stomach, the redhead looks back on her friend who stood before her checking quickly on the transmission device on her back. ,,Is it still working?" She asked her, the agent immediately leaning over to glance at the screen and thankfully the time was still going.

     ,,Yeah, we good." The green eyed female exclaims, breathing through her mouth to catch some needed oxygen.

    ,,We good." Sighs out Hattie in relief, making them both smile for a moment but it quickly faded when they spotted something coming their way.

     The something was a car, his bonnet on fire and going too quickly their way. With a last glance at each other the women jump out of the way, just in time as the car crashed and exploded into ball of fire just few meters away from them.

     The Gray agent land on the ground right on her left arm, making her roll over in pain from the impact. The ringing in her ears slowly faded but she didn't really have a time to fully recover from the explosion, standing up and trying hard to ignore the pulsing in her head. She rubbs her thumb and index finger quickly over her eyes, trying to get use to the bright light of the morning sun. Stumbling slightly over her feet she raise her head to search for the sister of Deckard Shaw and it didn't take her long to find her.

     But as she turn to run to her, she feels a sharp sting at the side of her neck that almost goes unnoticed by the delirium she was feeling. She sways slightly on her feet, before touching the spot, only finding a dart which she immediately ripps out of her skin. The feeling from the explosion was far from what she is now feeling, the whole world spins around her and before she hits the ground two pairs of arms catch her, dragging her God knows where.

      Her eyes were barely open but she immediately recognized the outline of the figure she passed by. The redhead thought Brixton wanted her dead and he even looked at her that way but she realized quickly that he wasn't the one doing this decision.

       Jessica feels herself sink into a seat and she even started to come back to her senses. Well just enough for her to realize they took her in a helicopter and that Hattie sat beside her, looking with a concern frown down on her sweating face. The drug that they gave her started to fade off quite quickly but she was thankful for that. Her head falls down so that her red hair covered her face, trying to act ike she passed out. Keeping her breathing steady the female closed her eyes for a moment, breathing out through her nose while slowly curling her toes to get feeling back in her muscles. It was quite hard to calm down and get back to her senses when they sway side to side in the air, only having an idea who was under them doing this.

     Her eyes snapped open, breathing in and out, looking from beneath her hair at the man before her. As the helicopter tipped over, she took it as a sign to raise her leg up and kick the man right in his face. Before the other male next to her could raise his weapon at her, she grabbed his arm, twisting it away from their direction but by her action he pulled the trigger in shock. Hattie helped to take down the other man but the bullets that hit the controls at the front desk did enough damage to completely loose control of the helicopter.

     The duo tried to stand up and look down at Deckard and Luke for help and it almost look like they had a chance to jump out but just as they were going to, the helicopter motor shuts down, making them both fall back inside, while trying to grab something as they started to fall down.

      Everyone thrashed around the small space as they rolled down on a cliff. Jessica tried to take a hold on something but it was no use. She could only cry out in pain from the hits she took. In her head, back, arms, everywhere and she thought she will be unconscious any moment but the whole spinning stopped with a hard last fall.

     The rain from the incoming storm poured down on her, cooling the headache and the burns on her skin just a little to make her open her green eyes. Blinking away the water from her eyes, the redhead looked around her, spotting Hattie few meters away from her. But as she sees Brixton coming to the blonde's way, the agent decided, it would be better not to make her presence know just for a bit longer. Biting down on her lip, she crawls out of the wreck, making her way to a small pile of rocks and sit behind it.

     The Gray woman search the area around her for any danger, while tearing up the sleeve of her T-shirt. The woman cringe slightly at the stinging as she wraps the fabric around her open wound on her arm. Jessica then looks away, biting down again on her lip enough to draw blood, before she fastly tighten the knot, crying slightly out at the pressure. A tear escaped her eye that she wipped off with the mix of her blood and the rain pouring down on her.

     Jessica knew she better help the others than trying to fully recover from her fall. So she slowly stand up on her legs, her muscles burning by each of her step. The woman could make out yelling and screams of pain in the distance and as she looks from behind the helicopter wreck, her eyes land on Shaw and Hobbs who were too caught up fighting with Brixton. The redhead did see Hattie few minutes ago but she knew she could take care of herself and the duo fighting their enemy really looked like they needed a hand.

     Deciding not to make her presence know yet, the Gray agent carefully make her way around the three man, while on her way to them searching for something she could use as a weapon. The woman only saw a plate of the metal door from the helicopter, so she took it in both of her hands, before looking back at the trio. The female waits for her best friend and the British male to distract Lore enough because she knew it wouldn't be any use if he saw her charging, his senses were too good.

     But not good enough to take notice of the woman who creeps her way behind him and just as he was going to hit Deckard in the face, she smashed the plate across his head, making him stumble down on the ground. Breathing heavily, Jessica looks down at him as he roll on the ground in pain, they have probably a few seconds before he recovers again.

     She glance back to the two, close enough to whisper her new plan. ,,See that boys." She mumbles, pointing out to Brixton who started to recover from her hit. Luke and Deckard looked at her for a moment before glancing back at the dark skinned enemy just few meters away from them. ,,We work together, we can hurt him." The two of them nodded at her.

     ,,You're right." Said Luke, looking at Brixton who slowly make his way back up on his feet.

     ,,We got your back." Deckard exclaims, making her turn her head to look at him. The two of them nod at each other and then him and her best friend jump to their feet, charging at Lore as she waits behind them to take the hits from him before she goes to do her own.

     The male duo took the hits from him again and again but the punches from the redhead made them only continue at their plan. Even the pain from Brixton's hits didn't make them stop as their enemy slowly couldn't handle the quick moves from the three of them. She punched and kicked him in the stomach, jaw, everywhere she could reach and by each of her punch he stumble more and more to the end of the cliff. Lore fell down on the ground in exhaustion, making the trio charge at him at the same time. They switch their positions, each of them raising their fists to his direction and with a last strength left in her muscles, she kicked him hard down on the rocks at the end of the cliff, making his back arch from the pain spreading through his back and his whole body.

    The redhead and the dark skinned male stood before him, watching in exhaustion the man crumble before them while trying to catch the needed oxygen back in their lungs. Deckard join their side with a gun in his hand and with his sister who stop beside them, while flashing a smile in relief.

     ,,I got it." Hattie says, showing them the capsule with the virus and making them all look at her and the capsule with relief in their eyes.

     ,,You did it, Hatt."

     ,,Never had a doubt." Breathed out Luke.

     The other female flashed the blonde a small grin, nodding in approvel. ,,Let's get it into safe hands." Continued the redhead, turning back at the man before them and glancing at him for a moment.

     There was so much she wanted to say in his face.

     The first one to step in, was Deckard. He raise the weapon in his hand into the direction of the man who caused that many years of pain to him and his family. ,,You set me up as a traitor." He started, slowly making his way closer to Brixton who layed on the ground with defeat. ,,Turn my own sister against me. Forced me to kill my own brother! You." Jessica could see right through him, the pain, the exhaustion of running away for so long. She knew the feeling, she really did but his dead will not end it all.

     ,,And here we are again. Come on!" Shouts Brixton through the rain. ,,Shaw, compared to the cause...one life doesn't mean anything."

     ,,I don't know what happened to you, Brixton." Shakes his head the male Shaw. ,,But you made me kill you once. I ain't doing it again." He said, throwing the gun in the mud at his feet.

     She looks at it for a moment, before her eyes flashing the memory when her family died by the hands of Eteon and by the help of the man before her. She wanted to see him die by her hands but the sweetness of ravenge  could be already tasted on the tip of her tongue and it made her satisfied enough.

     ,,Brother you may believe in machines but we believe in people." Continue Luke, while the redhead raise her eyes to gaze at the dark skinned murder who wore a look of defeat that she waited for so long to see.

     ,,You may have all the technology in the world, Brixton." Speaks up Jessics, catching his gaze. ,,But we have heart, no machines will ever beat that."

     The male didn't take eyes of off her while he slowly stood up, a look of fear flashing in his eyes for a moment as he look at the four people before him. ,,So that's how it is?" He asks, glancing at each one of them,  before his eyes landed back on her. ,,It's a hell of business, Jess."

     These last words ring in her ears, while they all watch him take his last breathe before his whole body shuts down, falling down into the depths of the water below. They watch the same spot were he stood just a second ago but unexpected noice coming from the helicopter's computer, made them turn to it's direction, they really thought that death of their enemy will be enough.

     ,,Brixton never really lived up to our expectations." Said the voice that came from the computer, the same voice she used take orders from and it made chills go down her spine. ,,But you four, you Jessica. You outperformed your analytics." Is said. ,,You don't remember me, do you, Gray?" The named woman frowns at the sentence. How could she remember? She never met him in person or did she? ,,You will. It's gonna be a hell of reunion." The agent ignored the uneasy feeling in her chest as they watch in question the front desk of the helicopter just like her. ,,You're on our radar now."

     Jessica nodded her head in confidence while glaring. ,,And you're on ours." She said, her last words ending the conversation as they watch the computer shut down. The female really didn't have the strenght to think about this new information.

     She really could use a day off.

     The four of them finally turn around to the direction of the way back home, slowly stepping onto the wet ground, careful not to possibly slip and get another injury. ,,Hey, thanks for being my sidekick through this whole thing, brother." Spoke up first the dark skinned agent on her left, while she hold onto her arm, pressing down on her injury with an eye roll from his comment. ,,You were great." He continue.

     ,,Hey, how 'bout I side-kick that stupid look off your face?" Deckard fires back, making the two women look at each other in amusement that they couldn't hide anymore. Their whole fighting was like watching their favorite comedy show.

     ,,Yeah? How 'about you show me right now?" Continue Hobbs, the two of them ready to punch each other in their faces but thankfully by the arms of the two females they stopped from going any closer to their goal.

     ,,Okay, guys." Rolls her green eyes the female agent, her arms around their shoulders, while looking between the two of them. ,,Let's go home." She offered, making them loosen up their tense shoulders.

     ,,Yeah." The both of them agreed, before they all chuckle. So then Hattie and Luke split up, the couple walking away to take the lead at the front, while they left the other two alone.

     The redhead walked slowly behind Deckard, thinking while watching his back for a moment. ,,Hey." Jessica called out to the man before her, her green eyes trying to get use to the sun that started to shine through the grey clouds.

     ,,Hey." He repeats as she walks up to him and stopps to stand right next to him. Wiping off the blood on her mouth, he waits for her to continue the conversation while watching her lips formed into a small smile after a moment of silence.

     ,,Thank you for everything." Jessica said, looking into his eyes, the usual dark brown colour brighter in the sun light. Deckard nodded and softly smiled down at her, listening to her in silence. ,,I think we could call ourselves friends now."

      ,,Friends." He smirks slightly at that but it was different from the all smiles he gave her before.

      The red haired woman mimicked  his expression, before leaning into him. She didn't know why she did that and the look on his face told the same. Her green eyes for a split second fall down at his lips and then at his eyes in thought and confusion by her actions and boldness. He did the same exact thing, his eye lids softly shutting and his lips puckering. The agent wanted to laugh at the sight before her but she did something better and the expression on his face will be forever in her mind. Leaning closer to his face, her breathe fanning over his face for a moment before she kissed him on the cheek, making his eyes immediately snap open with a look of disbelieve.

      ,,Friends." Jessica Gray repeats, smirking in amusement, before walking away from the dumbstruck
look on his face that was quickly replaced by a laugh escaping his lips, while flashing her a wink on his way back to her.

    Oh, it's on, Jessica Gray.
