He's not stupid and reaches the same conclusion as her a split second later. He's out of the car without thinking, yelling, 'Ramon. Behind you!' and reaching for his own weapon.
They run. They make it to within ten feet of Henri's car when tyres screech, doors fly open and there's the unmistakable sound of shotguns being cocked. Everyone comes to a halt and, when instructed, turns around. The headlights can pick up Ramon's expression as he turns - angry, but not afraid.
'What do you want?'
'You're a cheat, Salazar. What do you think we want?'
'...you're not my type.'
A tall, thin guy walks up to him at that and gets up in his face. Ramon doesn't move an inch, right up until the second he jabs his elbow into the guy's throat and watches him fall. 'Anyone else?'
'We want our money. You threw that fight.'
It contines for a few more minutes, this back and forth banter that's edged with violence and the potential for murder. Ramon is vaguely aware of a couple of shapes moving but the headlights are in his eyes and he can't be sure.
Fi will likely be sure when they open the car door and grab her and Hector from the back.
'Hey! Look what I found.' This one's leer could rival Pablo's. 'His brother and his bitch.'
