Duty Calls.

Going into the enemy lines, I felt the adrenaline coursing through my veins. The Braga cartel was one of the most dangerous and powerful criminal organizations in the world, and I was about to walk right into their lair.

I spotted at least seven armed guards around the building, and the entrance was strictly monitored. But I could see my target. Braga.

Dom saw me look up and followed my line of sight. His expression tightened as he spotted Braga. His anger was burning like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

"You need to keep your cool, Dom," I said. "And remember, He is now pretending to be Ramon Campos. Don't show any signs that you know his cover."

Dom nodded and took a deep breath. He had to remind himself that he was undercover, and that one wrong move could get us both killed.

As we were speaking, a blue Nissan GT-R R34 pulled up and Brian O'Conner got out. Dwight, another racer who had been recruited as a mule for Braga, was sledging Brian and being his usual cocky self.

'Talk big, you lose big,' I thought. I knew that Dwight would eventually get arrested by Brian and his team, and that Brian would take his place in the race.

Their trash talking was interrupted by a tall and beautiful woman with a domineering aura. She instructed Brian to follow her. It was Giselle Yashar, Braga's accomplice.

Giselle was arguably the most beautiful and mysterious character in the Fast and Furious movies. After the events of the fourth film she actually joined Dom's crew and soon became an integral part of it. She was later revealed to be an agent working for Mr. Nobody and his governmental black ops team. She was deep undercover in South America, infiltrating Braga's cartel.

Giselle walked towards Dom. "You are one of Park's racers, right? You're wanted upstairs," she said. "Follow me."

She walked by without paying me any attention. Dom nodded at me and then followed her into the building.

Now I was left alone, and I knew how the race was going to play out. Dom would be the victor, and Dwight would have to be replaced by Brian at the last moment later on.

There were people betting on the race, and I decided to put two grands on Dom winning. It was surprising how many people bet against him. I guess after nine years away from the LA scene, people had forgotten about Dominic Toretto.

The race was to begin in half an hour. I needed to gather as much intelligence as possible on Braga and Giselle.

'AI,' I said, 'can you infiltrate Braga's communications and systems? I need you to monitor him and inform me of their every move. Also, I need surveillance on Giselle. If she makes contact with the agency, I need to know.'

Hearing my instructions, the AI started the infiltration. "Sir, the infiltration is complete." The AI replied while I had a mild headache. I guess there was indeed some form of encryptions in place and it was advanced enough. But now I had a live location tracker and listening devices on both Braga and Giselle. 

I listened to their conversation and luckily Dom didn't do anything foolish. After a while, I saw Dom and other racers arrive at the starting point. I had access to their navigation systems and just proceeded to watch the race. The race began as the countdown ended in their navigation system.

Dom's car took an absolute lead in the beginning. His car did a wheelie at the start due to the enormous power of his Chevelle. 

As I could see in my AI interface, Dom held on to his lead, while Brian was at the third position for a while. The race was intense. Even though I couldn't watch the race directly, I knew how proficient each of these racers were and how Dom was dominating the entire race. At one point, one of the racers got t boned by an SUV and was out of the race. Another racer was ballsy enough to sideswipe Dom and he got what he asked for. Dom just accelerated at the correct time and the other guy just got eliminated as he crashed. I actually noticed that Brian took a reroute but eventually Dom got the win as he hit smashed Brian's car as he tried to overtake Dom. 'Yikes, that sucks.' I thought as Dom completed the race.

I and ten others won as we bet on Dom and I was happy to receive my share that was thirty grands. I just rolled it and stored it away in my space when nobody was watching. I just waited for Dom to arrive. After a while he did.

"That was impressive Dom. I guess they didn't even stand a chance." Dom just smirked at my comments.

"I got an invite to a club downtown tomorrow night. Are you old enough to enter one?" Dom just asked me with a bit of sarcasm in his tone. 

"I can get in anywhere I want Dom. You can count me on that. He's probably gonna give you the mission details and I can say for certain that a certain blondie is going to be there." Dom looked a bit confused but his expression changed to ire as he knew who I was referencing to.

"Sigh… I thought making him lose might keep his head out of this. He clearly won't let go anytime soon. But that won't be a problem." Dom said in a helpless tone.

After a while we reached my drop point. When the car stopped Dom just turned towards me.

"Why are you really helping me kid, why would you want Braga. You are yet to be an adult and here you are helping me with my revenge. Why would anyone do that? And why all this secrecy even when I am actually on your side?" He asked me with a very concerned look and tone.

I took a deep breath. Even though I knew Dom was trustable, it didn't mean that I could tell him the truth where I was actually doing this all because of the biddings of a higher being. Now that I think about it, there was no mission prompts since that day. I guess I will have to wait for the right time. 

"Dom, there are many things in this world that the less you know the better it is. Let's just say we both are alike. You want vengeance for your family and I want my family to stay safe. People like Braga are a threat to that and I just take them off." I said in a serious tone.

Dom just looked at me deeply. "Kid, do you know what happens when you take up the weights of the entire family on your shoulder and decide what's safe for them? It will become too heavy for you to bear. Always remember that kid. I once took a decision thinking my family would be safe. Now I have nothing but pain. So kid if you want help, remember there are always people that you can go to and you know where to find them." 

Hearing these emotional words from Dom I could only nod. I just muttered a thanks and watched him leave after I got out. Well I guess I might have made a friend. I just simply smiled and headed home. It was already one in the morning and I just climbed into my room and fell asleep.

The next day, while having the breakfast I could hear the news report reporting the accidents that happened while racing. My dad was paying keen attention and when he saw a video of Dom's SS Chevelle he was surprised and had a hint of excitement. I guess he still misses his old life. 

After the breakfast I was gonna visit the town to shop for some equipment and chemicals to make some diy smoke bombs and incendiaries, that I knew how to craft thanks to Frank's skillset, for the clash that will happen within days. I had to be discrete about it and I tracked down some shops that will sell you these without much documentations with the help of AI.

I walked out of the house after giving my parents an excuse that I was going to visit an imaginary friend for his notes prior to my joining. I took a cab and reached near the location of the shop. The shop was just a shack with a very weird dude behind the counter. But I was able to procure those pretty easily for a low price.

As I was walking by the street, the mission alarm that was silent for two days just went off. 

"Mission Alert.

<Mission Objectives>

{Main Mission} As a responsible citizen, it's your duty to keep the country safe from the clutches of human organ traffickers. Neutralize the criminals, and save the people captured from their clutches. Location clue can be obtained from the AI. On completion the host shall be granted 3000 mission coins.

{Side Mission} Letting the human organ traffickers being caught by the police will not be a solid solution. Eliminate them and remove these dregs of society once and for all. The host will be given a mystery item for the completion of this mission.

< DO YOU ACCEPT THE MISSION: YES/NO >

<REMAINING TIME: 00:03:00:59>

I was startled at the sudden appearance of the mission. Reading the contents of the mission made me feel a little troubled. The number mission coins were high and that probably meant more people to take care of. But for some reason I was excited. I didn't hesitate for long and clicked Yes.

I opened the AI and looked for the location clue. It opened up a mini map for me and in that a region was marked. It indicated that I was near the mission site, but as per the legend in the map I had a fifty-meter radius of area to scout and locate the criminal hideout.

With a sigh I wore my trustee bandana mask and equipped my nano armour after making sure that there was no surveillance. I went around the neighbourhood which had houses on both side of the streets and there were cars parked on the street. I jogged around the neighbourhood looking for the said site. I searched for at least half an hour and still there was no sign of their hideout. But my instincts said that I was near. And I was right. 

As I went deeper into the neighbourhood, I saw two men keeping watch in front of the house. I just hid myself and took a look at the house. It was big enough but was secluded. Its windows were painted black and the men in front had a dog. They were protecting and keeping people away. That was enough red flags for me to guess which was my target and right on time, my AI prompted. "Mission Site Discovered. Best of Luck Host."
