Chapter Twenty One

                                    

                                          
They looked over the rocks of a cliff, their cars parked behind them. Regan sat beside Eric, who held a pair of binoculars. "God, it's cold." Regan muttered. 
"We're almost there." Eric replied. "We get it, we go home and I'll warm you up, okay?" 
Regan nodded. "Okay." She smiled. 
He turned to Letty. "Dom's gotta either be working with them or making a trade, because nobody would be this insane to hit this place without a damn army." 
"What if it's more of a hostage situation?" Regan asked. 
Letty sent her a concerned look before turning back to him. "I wouldn't be so sure about that." 
"Speak of the devil." Hobbs said. 
"She just sends him in for the heavy." Regan muttered. "She doesn't want to get her hands dirty." 
"I think Cipher just rebooted that sub's system to slave its command system." Tej said. 
"What the hell is he talking about?" Roman asked. 
"In layman's terms, she just carjacked a submarine." Regan answered. 
"We can't let it get away." Ramsey said. "There's the control room. If you can get me into that wheelhouse, I can tap the network and counter-hack Cipher. Keep it from lowering into the water." 
"No, what we need to do is get me on that sub. I'll find the weapons room and I can pull the launch chip before she can fire any of those nukes." Tej countered. 
"That is too crazy." Ramsey argued. 
"What you're saying is too dangerous." Tej replied. 
"We'll do both." Hobbs suggested. 
"We prepared for this?" Regan asked. They all exchanged a quick glance. "Because I'm not." They all got into their cars, following close behind Hobbs. They got through the gate, parking their cars. 
"All right. Let's haul ass, team. Double time! Double time!" Hobbs ordered. 
They ran up a ramp, already being shot at. They all stopped, turning to shoot their own guns. They kept going, hauling ass like they were told to. Eric and Regan split up, him heading with Tej and Roman and Regan headed out with Letty and Ramsey. They made it to the wheelhouse, opening the door and raising their guns.
"Move, move." Letty called. 
"Get out of here." Regan helped her. 
"Go, go, go!" 
Hobbs walked in behind Ramsey, sealing the door. Ramsey set up, Letty and Regan on either side of her. The door opened, Regan and Letty both going to pull their triggers, both out of bullets. She hit the first guy with her gun, the second guy being quick to pin her against the window. Regan raised her gun, hitting him across the back of the head with it. He pushed her back into the machines behind her, picking up Letty to drop her into the glass on the other panel. 
"Why is it always us?" Regan muttered, pushing herself off of the panels. The two finished him off together, like they always did. Or at least they thought they had until he got up again, raising Letty into the window behind her. 
"Ramsey, how much time we talking here?" Letty asked as Regan was thrown onto the floor beside her. 
"She's locked me out." Ramsey replied. 
"Well, get back in." Regan muttered. 
Ramsey lifted her radio. "Tej, I can't stop her. You're gonna have to pull that chip."
I can't. This thing's gone into attack mode. Tej replied. The door's not gonna open until you pull the chip.
"So we had two plans and neither of them are working?" Regan asked. She and Letty were taking turns being thrown at this point.
