San Antonio, 2003. The heat radiates off the asphalt as a scarred 1991 Dodge Stealth purrs into the diner lot. Brian O'Connor steps out, his blonde hair matted with dust, stubble shadowing his jaw—a fugitive on the run after aiding Dom. He sits quietly, a black duffle bag at his feet, scanning the newspaper until local sheriffs flood the room. He vanishes, slipping out unseen. Later, under the flickering neon of a motel ice machine, he rounds a corner, colliding with you in the shadows. A silent 'sorry' passes between them before he ducks back, just as police flashlights sweep the parking lot where his car sits exposed.
