Chapter Twenty Two- Caucasus Mountains

Caucasus Mountains, Azerbaijan

Sapphire sat in the passenger seat of the car her and Tej were in as they waited in the plane. The only that could be heard through out the plane was the music from Tej's game on his phone that him and Sapphire were playing and Roman's mumbling "Yeah I'm good. From the streets. You know what I'm saying? It's nothing" Roman scoffed.

The plane hit some turbulence and it shook as Sapphire breathed out heavily before sharing a look with her boyfriend as she then watched him bring the radio to his lips "Hey, Roman. Your freaking out, ain't you?" 

"No"

Sapphire let out a laugh "Yeah, you are"

"And I said no"

Tej looked at his girlfriend with a smile before continuing "Listen, man, it takes a grown man to embrace his feelings. If you need to cry, just go ahead and cry. As your friend, you know I'm concerned about your well being, which is why I took the precaution of putting some adult diapers in your glove compartment"

Sapphire and Brian both chuckled as Roman cut in with an annoyed tone "Yo, can you just chill out, man?"

"I have seen some crazy shit, Dom" Mr Nobody spoke over the radio "But this really could make some waves, so let's just try to keep it as low key as possible, huh?"

"Don't I always?" Dom asked.

Sapphire rolled her eyes in response knowing that was the biggest lie Dom had ever told "I'll tell you what" Mr Nobody spoke "You knock it down a couple of notches this time and. .I'll swap out my Belgian for a keg of Corona"

"You'd be doing yourself a favour there" Dom spoke.

Mr Nobody chuckled before Roman yelled "Can somebody just walk me through what we supposed to be doing?"

"Come on, Roman, this was your plan" Sapphire spoke "You gotta embrace it"

"No, this was not my plan" Roman exclaimed.

An alarm then started to blare and Sapphire tucked a few pieces of her dirty, blonde hair behind her ears as the hatch lowered and the wind howled "Oh, yeah, here we go. Game time" Brian spoke.

All their engines started up and Dom revved his while Roman did the cross on his body as he prayed silently "Rome, you need some fresh air?" Brian teased "Cause you about to get a whole lot of it"

"Okay, here we go!" Dom said before he reversed out the plane.

"Just when you didn't think it would get any better, huh?" Brian spoke through the radio as Tej looked to Sapphire who was surprisingly not as nervous as she thought she would be "Ready babe?" Tej asked.

"Let's do this" Sapphire nodded and Brian then reserved out the plane then Letty and Tej followed. Sapphire then gripped her seatbelt in shock as she felt the car drop and fly through the air "Oh, shit" Her and Brian exclaimed at the same time as Tej chuckled and reached out for her hand, Sapphire removing one to grip his tightly.

"Now we're moving" Brian said as the cars fell faster "Hey, everybody good? Everybody make it out?"

Sapphire glanced behind her out the back window as she noticed someone didn't come out after her and Tej "Roman" Was all Sapphire spoke into the radio and Brian understood.

"Hey, Rome? Hey, what's up, man? Talk to me, come on" Brian spoke.

"I can't do it" Roman replied.

Sapphire scoffed as Brian spoke to him again "The hell you can't. Come on, Rome! You throw that thing in reverse and get your ass out here now!"

"Look, I can't do this, okay?" Roman insisted "Listen to what I'm saying"

"Now isn't the time!" Brian said but Roman continued "I'ma just stay up here with the pilot. We gonna circle around and make sure we holding it down from up here"

"You're running out of time!" Letty joined the conversation "The chute is guided by GPS. You don't have to do anything!"

"Tej! Saph!" Dom yelled.

Tej answered as Sapphire sent him a smile "We're already on it"

"Hey, man, listen" Roman spoke "I'm sorry to let y'all down, okay? I'ma go ahead and stay up here"

Tej chuckled as did Sapphire "No, brother, we're sorry to let you down"

"What?" Roman asked "What do you mean you're sorry-" He was cut off as Tej pressed a button and his car was dragged out. Roman tried pressing his brakes but to no avail "Tej! Saph! What are you guys doing?" He screamed as his car flew through the air "Oh, shit! Tej! I hate you, guys!"

Tej let go of Sapphire's hand to grab the steering wheel as they started to approach the ground.

"Get ready! Ground's coming fast!" Brian informed everyone.

As Brian landed on the ground and sped up after Dom "Touchdown, baby!" Letty said as she sped up after them.

Tej following as Sapphire grunted because of them landing on the ground, her body being jolted slightly. She let out a laugh in disbelief before Tej sped up after Letty.

"Car check. Call it in" Dom ordered.

"Check" Letty and Tej said.

"We're good" Brian said "Let's do this"

Roman's voice came over the radio, again as his car still dangled in the air over the trees "Hello?! Please, man! Get me outta here. Somebody! No! Not the trees!"

"Ah, shit" Sapphire said as she saw his car dangling when Dom spoke "Sit tight, Roman. We'll come back for you"

"This is not the plan!"

Mr Nobody then joined the conversation "All right, you got one chance to hit them here, Dom. You miss, they'll make it to their black site and they'll squeeze whatever information they need out of Ramsey. The device and your chance of ever getting Shaw will be gone for good"

"That ain't gonna happen" Dom remarked.

"I'll see you at the pickup" Mr Nobody said.

They rounded the corner, the motorcade coming into view "Ramsey will be in the bus" Brian informed.

"Then let's do this" Letty said.

The cars in front of them moved to the side so that they were two cars on either side of the bus. The back two cars opened up the back, revealing men in black wearing masks with guns pointed at them.

They then began shooting at them as Dom shouted "Tej! Shield!"

"I'm on the way" Tej called back.

"All right, formation" Dom ordered as Tej and Saph drove to the front.

Tej and Sapphire drove in front of Brian, Letty behind them and Dom behind her "Bulletproof baby" Tej chuckled as bullets hit the windscreen but didn't pierce the glass "Can't touch this" He sung as Sapphire smiled.

"Punch it!" Dom sped up, clipping the back of Letty's car.

Letty glanced in her rear view mirror at him before doing the same to Brian who did the same to Tej. Tej managed to hit the back of both cars, sending them to the side as he went for the other two cars. They moved to the side to avoid being hit by the car before moving back into formation as Brian went to one side of the bus and Tej went to the other.

Sapphire cursed under her breath at the sight of the guns coming out from the side of the bus "Tej!" She exclaimed.

"Fuck!" He muttered as the guns went off "Get out of the way!" Tej shouted at Brian as their cars went to the side.

"Those aren't guns, those are goddamn canons!" Tej exclaimed as he drove back onto the road "Armour piercing rounds!"

Both Letty and Dom put the grappling hook gun out on top of the roof of their cars "Hook them up" Dom said and they did, in sync.

The grappling hooks lodged into the back of the bus "Saph, Tej, blow it!" He ordered and the blonde pushed a button causing smoke and a loud bang to sound "Lock it up" Dom said and Letty stomped on her brakes alongside him, causing the back of the bus to be ripped off "Brian, Saph, you're up"

Tej and Sapphire shared a look as Brian drove behind the bus. Her brother kicked off the windshield as Sapphire climbed onto the hood of Tej's car before jumping onto Brian's.

Tej drove behind them and clipped the back of the car and pushed it forward "Little closer, Tej!" Brian said and once Tej pushed them close enough, the two jumped off the car.

Brian fought off the first guy, throwing him over his head and onto the road. Sapphire pulled Brian to his feet before another guy ran at them. The blonde dodged the punches he threw at her and she grabbed a hold of the metal door and pushed it into his face before kneeing him in the stomach as Brian slipped past them and she then elbowed him in the face before throwing him out of the bus.

The two worked together to take down the men on the bus before Brian picked up a gun and made his way towards the front of the bus where Ramsey was being held.

Sapphire slammed the last guys head into her knee before joining Brian as he pulled the hood off of Ramsey. The two shared a look at seeing the woman sat before them.

"Ramsey?" Brian asked.

Ramsey looked at them with dried mascara down her cheeks "Stay away from me. Stay back! Don't you touch me!"

Sapphire reached down into her boot and pulled out a knife she had stashed in there as she moved forward "My name's Sapphire, and this is Brian my brother. We're gonna get you out of here, but I'm gonna need you to settle down, okay? I'm gonna cut those things off you now" She said before slicing through the restraints on her wrists.

She pulled Ramsey up and led her to the back of the bus with Brian behind them. She waved her hand for Dom to come closer before turning back to the girl beside her "We're gonna have to jump"

However, Ramsey just looked at her like she was crazy "I'm not jumping!"

"We don't have time for this shit" Sapphire told her as Ramsey tried to go back and failed "Come on! Get your ass up here" She pulled her up as Dom motioned for her to jump "Come on! Look at me! Look at me!"

"No, kill me!" Ramsey screeched.

Sapphire grabbed her shoulders and gripped them tightly as she turned Ramsey to face her "You don't jump, we're gonna die, okay?" Ramsey settled then and nodded slightly "You're jumping in one. . .two!" Ramsey screamed as Sapphire pushed her body onto the hood of Dom's car.

A gasp then left Sapphire's lips as she was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground making Brian snap his head around to face her. Looking up to see one of the men raise his foot to stomp on her before she rolled to the side to miss it before Brian tackled him away from her.

Breathing heavily as she took the knife from her other boot and stabbed the man in the leg as soon as she saw Brian get thrown to the ground. The blonde grunted as he elbowed her in the face causing her head to slam back into the wall behind her.

"Letty, stay with Saph and Brian!" Dom told her.

She then sent a kick to the back of his legs causing him to go down on one knee. In his vulnerable and weak state she was about to send him a hit to the head that would hopefully knock him out before she got a dizzy spell. Probably from when she hit her head on the wall.

Stumbling back as the man turned around and sent a punch to her face, knocking her down on her back once again. The man fought Brian again, slamming his face onto the desk where he saw Letty on the camera stuck right in front of the gun as two cars sandwiched her in.

Sapphire lifting her head up as she groaned before seeing one of the other cars in front of the gun, she then kicked her leg up and into the man's groin, Brian then slamming his head onto the big red button, the gun going off.

The man then grabbed a gun and tried firing it at them, only for Brian to deflect his aim causing the bullet to land in the driver. The bus's tires screeched as it drifted from side to side, losing control. It hit the side of the mountain and turned onto it's side, throwing the three of them off balance. The bus skidded on it's side heading towards the cliff.

Brian pulled Sapphire up to her feet just as the man ran towards the back of the bus and shut the metal door on them "Too slow" He taunted the two.

"Fucking bitch" Sapphire yelled at the man as he jumped off the bus.

Brian and Sapphire turned towards each other and then faced the front of the bus to see it approaching the cliff. They ran towards the front of the bus as it half dangled over the edge.

Brian looked down through the front door and Sapphire gulped at how high up they were. Brian reached up and pushed the button that would open the door as it swung down "Come on, Saph" He told her as the blonde looked up at him with wide eyes.

Sapphire felt her heart race as she grabbed hold of the door and lowered her body out of it, she then gulped as she hung in the air before looking up at the bus. She manoeuvred her body around, placing her feet in all the right places to get her on top of the bus "I'm good, Bri" She called to her brother.

Brian then did the same as he too lowered his body out. He looked up and moved to the side as the drivers body fell out and below them. Brian tried to place his foot against the door but it slipped causing him to fall slightly and one of his hands to slip from the door.

He just hoped Sapphire hadn't seen him as he held back on and when he didn't hear her worried gasp he knew she hadn't. Once Brian had managed to climb up onto the roof, the bus started to slip off the cliff. Sapphire grabbed his hand and Brian pulled her into a run as the two sprinted along the bus as it slid off the cliff.

Letty's car came into view and when she saw the two approaching the end of the bus, she turned her wheel sharply to the side as the back of her car swung on the edge of the cliff as Brian and Sapphire jumped.

A scream left Sapphire's lips as they leapt off the bus, the two managing to grab hold of Letty's car just as the bus crashed below the cliff. Letty then drifted away from the edge causing Brian and Sapphire to fall to the ground.

Sapphire stared up at the sky above them as she breathed heavily with Brian panting beside her. Letty rushed out of her car and looked down at them "You guys good?"

"Thank you" Brian looked to her.

Sapphire sat up "I fucking love you Letty"

Brian grabbed his sisters hand and pulled her to her feet as Letty got back in her car after a hug from the both of them as the two then got in themselves. They joined the others at the bottom of the cliff that Dom had driven off to avoid being shot at.

"Tej!" Sapphire quickly hugged him as he smiled and hugged her back. She then turned to Dom who was pulling himself to his feet "Let's not tell Mia about this" She spoke as everyone let out a laugh.

"Looks like our demon love child worked" Tej commented as his arm snaked around the blonde's
waist.

Brian looked to Dom "That's one way down a mountain"

Sapphire then looked around for the girl "Where's Ramsey?"
