In the fifth installment of the Bad Boys franchise, Miami is under siege as a potent new drug dubbed Helios has flooded the streets, leaving a trail of chaos and mass casualties. The narcotic's rapid spread threatens to overwhelm the city, pushing Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett to the brink as they scramble to uncover its source with the help of their next in line: Former Marine Reggie and recently acquitted fugitive Armando.

The Miami skyline raced by in a blur as Mike Lowrey's Porsche 911 rocketed down the sunlit streets. Traffic parted reluctantly in the car's wake, horns blaring as the sleek vehicle wove through lanes with reckless precision. Mike's jaw was set, his eyes narrowed behind his Ray-Bans with determination as he ignored the pounding in his chest.
Beside him, Marcus Burnett clutched the door handle, his knuckles white, eyes wide with a mix of fear and frustration. He braced himself as they narrowly missed a delivery truck, the tires screeching in protest.
ā€œMike, man, slow down! I didn't sign up for the Daytona 500!" Marcus's voice was strained, each word laced with anxiety as his stomach churned, his breakfast threatening to make a return visit.
Mike didn't glance over, his eyes locked on the road ahead. "We're late. And if you hadn't stuffed your face with that stack of pancakes, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
Marcus groaned, leaning his head back against the seat. "I told you, my metabolism ain't what it used to be! I needed a good breakfast to get me through the day."
"You needed a good breakfast? Or you needed to sample the whole damn menu?" Mike shot back, swerving around a taxi that had stopped abruptly. The sharp turn caused Marcus's stomach to lurch, and he swallowed hard, regretting the third helping of bacon.
"I swear, you always gotta bring up my eating habits when we're in a life-threatening situation," Marcus muttered, clutching his stomach.
"Oh, your life gone be threatened alright if you so much as drool on my leather seats." Mike snapped.
From the back seat, Reggie, Marcus's son-in-law and new recruit to the Miami PD, leaned forward, his brow furrowed in concern. "Uh, sir, this speed is unlawful given that we're not in pursuit of a suspect. According to Miami's police code of conduct, officers are required to maintainā€”"
"Reggie, shut up!" Mike barked, cutting off the younger man. "We're late, and I don't need a lecture on driving.ā€
Reggie, still trying to process the banter, cleared his throat awkwardly. "Sir, I'm just trying to follow protocol."
"Protocol's for rookies," Mike snapped, turning his attention back to the road. "And last I checked, you're riding with the best. So buckle up, kid."
Marcus shot Reggie a sympathetic look, though he was clearly not thrilled about the situation himself. "Mike, he's got a point. The kid's just doing what he's been trained to do. Besides, we're supposed to be setting a good example as his shadowees."
Mike glanced at Marcus, an eyebrow raised. "Shadowees? The only reason he's even allowed to shadow us is because you're sweet on the receptionist who pushed the paperwork through."
Marcus bristled, his voice defensive. "I'm not sweet on her. I'm just polite and charismaticā€”something you wouldn't know nothing about."
"I wonder how 'polite' Theresa would be if she found out just how 'charismatic' you've been." Mike shot back, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Hey, now!" Marcus's eyes widened, his voice dropping to a hushed tone. "Ain't nobody being anything but polite. Don't start something you can't finish, Mike."
Before either could respond, the radio crackled to life, cutting through the tension in the car. "All units, be advised, we have a 10-80 in progress near Biscayne Boulevard. Suspect vehicle is a black SUV, heading northbound. Requesting backup."
Mike's eyes lit up with sudden interest, and he gunned the engine, the Porsche surging forward with impossible speed. "Well, would you look at that. Sounds like our kind of party."
"Mike, you can't justā€”" Marcus began, but his words were drowned out by the roar of the engine as Mike made a sharp turn toward the boulevard.
"Can't what, Marcus?" Mike snapped, his voice edged with impatience. "According to Poindexter back there, we ain't supposed to drive like this unless we're chasing a suspect."
Mike smirked as he pushed the car to an even more reckless speed. "I'm just trying to set a good example as a shadowee."
Reggie fumbled for his seatbelt, his eyes wide as he prepared for whatever chaos was about to unfold. "Sir, are we engaging?"
"Hell yeah we are!" Mike grinned, his tension replaced with the adrenaline that only a high-speed chase could bring. "Bad Boys for life."
Marcus sighed, his stomach knotting even tighter. "Bad Boys for life," he muttered, knowing there was no turning back now.
The Porsche hurtled down the streets of Miami, the roar of its engine echoing through the concrete jungle as the radio crackled with updates from the chopper overhead, its pilot providing a bird's-eye view of the chase.
"Suspect is heading northbound on Collins Avenue, approaching the airport," the dispatcher's voice crackled through the speakers.
"Well, isn't that convenient," Marcus muttered, gripping the dashboard as Mike took another sharp turn, the tires squealing in protest.
"There he is!" Mike pointed ahead where a black SUV was weaving through traffic, trying to shake off its pursuers. "We're in this now, Joker. Time to show 'em how the big boys play."
Marcus squinted at the SUV speeding ahead, his heart pounding as he took in the chaotic scene. Civilians scattered, cars swerving out of the way as the chase tore through the city.
"Alright, Marcus, shoot out his tires!" Mike ordered, eyes locked on the target.
Marcus's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Hell no! There are too many civilian vehicles out here, Mike. You trying to get someone killed?"
From the back seat, Reggie interjected with a nervous glance at the manual in his hand. "Actually, according to the handbook, we're supposed to request the driver to pull over through the intercom firstā€”"
"Reggie, I don't care what the handbook says!" Mike barked, cutting him off. "Marcus, shoot out the damn tires!"
Marcus shook his head adamantly, his hands clenched tight. "I'm not shooting in the middle of all this traffic. Do a pit maneuver or something!"
Mike's grip on the steering wheel tightened as he scowled. "I'm not messing up the new paint job on my car for this fool."
Marcus shot him a disbelieving look. "So you'd rather I risk shooting a civilian than scratch your precious car?"
Mike huffed, frustration mounting. "You won't hit a civilian if you put on your damn glasses before you fire."
Marcus opened his mouth to argue, but Mike was done with the back-and-forth. He turned his head slightly to the back seat. "Reggie, shoot out the tires."
Reggie's eyes widened. "Is that an order, sir?"
"Damn right it is!" Mike snapped as he hit a button, opening the sunroof of the Porsche.
Reggie swallowed hard, then reached out, taking the gun Mike handed him with disciplined hands. Standing up through the roof, he positioned himself for the shot, his military training kicking in as he steadied his aim. The wind whipped around him, but Reggie's focus was unshakable.
With perfect precision, he fired two shots, the bullets hitting their mark and blowing out the SUV's back tires. The suspect's vehicle swerved wildly, its speed dropping as the driver struggled to regain control.
Reggie dropped back down into the car, his breath coming in short bursts, adrenaline pumping through his veins. "Tires neutralized, sir."
Mike flashed a grin as he maneuvered the Porsche closer to the now-crippled SUV which careened wildly as it barreled toward the passenger pickup area of Miami International Airport. The tires left dark streaks on the pavement as the driver fought for control. Smoke began billowing from under the hood, the engine pushed beyond its limits.
"Pull over and stop the vehicle!" Marcus's voice boomed over the intercom, but it was clear the SUV had no more fight left. The engine coughed, then with a final groan, it blew out, sending a cloud of smoke into the air. The SUV slowed to a crawl, finally rolling to a stop right in front of the airport's sliding glass doors.
Mike brought the Porsche to a screeching halt in front of the smoking SUV, his eyes sharp and focused. "Showtime, boys," he said as he threw the car into park.
In unison, Mike, Marcus, and Reggie exited the vehicle, guns drawn and pointed at the SUV. Civilians in the area scattered, some ducking behind pillars and parked cars as the trio approached the suspect's vehicle with the practiced precision of seasoned cops.
"Hands where I can see 'em!" Mike barked as they neared the driver's side.
The door creaked open, and a man stumbled out, coughing and waving his hands in surrender. Before he could even think about making a run for it, Marcus was on him. He grabbed the suspect by the collar, yanking him from the SUV and slamming him onto the hood of Mike's Porsche with a force that made the man wince.
"You're under arrest, jackass," Marcus growled, snapping a pair of handcuffs around the man's wrists. "Don't move unless you wanna get to know my bullets real well."
As Marcus secured the suspect, more officers arrived on the scene, their flashing lights adding to the chaos. Marcus handed the suspect over to a pair of uniformed cops, then turned back to Mike, who was still watching the scene with a careful eye.
"Alright, suspect's in custody," Marcus said, wiping his hands on his pants as he approached his partner. "Not bad for a morning's work."
But Mike wasn't listening. His gaze had shifted, his focus drawn to the figure standing just beyond the smoke, his silhouette becoming clearer as the cloud dissipated. Although it had been over three years since he last saw the man, Armando hadnā€™t changed since; standing there with his duffel bags slung over his shoulder, a bemused expression on his face.
Mike holstered his gun and approached his son with an apologetic smile. "Sorry I'm a little late for pickup," he said, trying for a light tone as he gestured back at the chaos behind him. "Got stuck in some traffic."
Armando stood there, his face a mask of indifference. Without a word, he rolled his eyes and walked right past Mike's open arms, heading straight for the trunk of the Porsche. He tossed his bags in with a casual ease, as if this kind of thing happened every day.
Mike lowered his arms, the smile fading as he watched his son's retreating back. He sighed, the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
As Marcus walked over, having finished briefing the other officers, he took in the scene and couldn't resist. "Well, at least the kid's punctual," he joked, clapping Mike on the back.
Mike shot him a look that could melt steel. "Not now, Marcus."
"Hey, just trying to lighten the mood, man." Marcus raised his hands in mock surrender, though the grin on his face said he wasn't all that sorry.
Mike shook his head, glancing back at Armando, who was now leaning against the Porsche, waiting. The distance between them felt like miles.
"Let's just get outta here," Mike muttered, brushing past Marcus to head toward the car.

Send a ā™ and Iā€™ll write a starter where my muse will use your museā€™s tummy as a pillow while cuddling
ā€œUghā€¦ā€ Helios slowly blinked his eyes open, head throbbing slightly as light seeped into his vision. He was laying on somethingā€¦or no, someone, they warm andā€¦soft. Heā€™d gotten knocked out byā€¦something, but when he thought about it his head only hurt even more. He shifted around to see Keelerā€¦Heliosā€™s head was resting on the lead navigatorā€™s stomach. ā€œKeeler..?ā€ He had many questions all of a sudden, but Keelerā€™s hand stroked through his hair gently and the fighter felt very at ease somehow. He lifted his head, but that sent a flurry of pain through his temple, so he remained still. After a moment, Helios exhaled and enjoyed Keelerā€™s company, curling his hands at the sides of his face as he closed his eyes. The rise and fall of Keelerā€™s stomach was somehow relaxing and distracted him from the headache.

Sleepy eyes blinked open to darkness and Abel wondered what time it was. He shifted a little and let his eyes adjust, looking around for Cain, only to findā€¦he was laying with Keeler??! Layingā€¦on Keeler??? His eyes flew open in alarm, wondering what was going on. Why was he sleeping in the lead navigatorā€™s bunk?? His mind wandered to last night and he suddenly remembered what happened. He was staying up late, working on a few things on the bridgeā€¦he must have fallen asleep, because that was the last thing he remembered.Ā ā€œKeeler?ā€, he whispered in the dark. Keeler responded with a soft shush and Abel felt the guyā€™s arms wrap around him gently. When Abel tried to get up, he was met with a slight bit of resistance from the lead navigator. Apparently Keeler didnā€™t want him to get upā€¦Abel heard snoring from another bed nearby and guessed it was Encke. It took a few minutes, but Abel finally settled down and relaxed a bit more, allowing his head to rest on Keelerā€™s stomach. Little by little, he let himself curl into the other navigator and close his eyes. He actually felt strangelyā€¦safe like this. It wasnā€™t long before he fell into a comfortable sleep.Ā
