11. Epilogue - Happy ever after?

Bali was warm and sunny - a far cry from London. Brian didn't mind living in England but there really was some truth to the statement that the way you differentiate the seasons in the UK - is by how warm or cold the rain is. They'd travelled to Bali so that they could see their godson. Too many, Vince and Mia seemed a temperamental couple but Carter having spent that time in captivity with her knew that they loved each other. Besides, Jack may only be nine months old but he was spoiled rotten - he supposed that was what happened when your two godfathers are two multi-millionaires. Brian was still ruing the day that they got kidnapped together. They were scary on their own, but when they put their heads together no one came out unharmed.

Right now though it didn't matter; the whole team, no, family were around a long table on the beach. It was kind of perfect to Brian, as Mia had Vince, Dom and Letty were building something new but amazing and they were all free; he couldn't ask for more. He froze seeing Hobbs out the corner of his eye. His hand was itching for his gun, stupid maybe but the instinct to protect his family was high. "What can we do for you Agent Hobbs?"

Luke smirked knowing why he made them uncomfortable, "A Christening present."

The content was thrown at Toretto who looked over the file in disbelief. "I thought that this was off the table."

Hobbs shrugged, "Shaw was caught and you and your team risked it all to see it happen. I thought it only fair that Jack gets to be a Lakers fan."

Brian watched all of them hug; it was a heady prospect the idea of home. For Brian home was now London with Carter, but this was different. "You're alright Hobbs … Don't let anyone tell you differently."

Hobbs turned his attention to the slippery couple, "Yeah since you have no problem entering the US, my gift to you."

Carter took out the very expensive bottle of McCalen whiskey, and admired the agents' tastes. "My thanks to you Hobbs."

Hobbs pursed his lips, "Don't ever mention it. Ever."

In a perfect world, things would end there - Sadly though this wasn't Disney. The team minus Brian and Carter had been back in LA a month when they got a call. It was Brian, "Listen to me carefully. You are all to get the fuck out of the US. NOW."

Dominic tensed hearing the implied threat, "What is it Bri?"

"Ian Shaw is after every one of you for what you did to his baby brother. He already got to Han and Giselle, don't be next."

Carter broke onto the line. "He won't be right? You are going directly to the airport with your family where a plane will be waiting for you. If you make Brian mourn his family I may never forgive you."

Dom wasn't stupid and he wasn't willing to risk his family on stupid pride, "I hear you. Give me twenty to round up Mia, Vince and Jack."

Good Brian was glad that Dom was smart enough to go to them. London was safer for them, at least that way he and Carter had contacts and places they could lay low. Ian Shaw may want to hunt them down one by one, but if Brian got the team assembled then by god would they give him a fight.
