Hello everyone, and thanks for reading. Before you start reading this story, I must tell you one important thing. I am not English, American or from any English-speaking country. I am Czech, and altough I learn English since 10 years old, there could be some minor mistakes. I hope you will pass them and it will not bother you. Thanks for understanding.


"Holley!"

"What's up, Finn?"

"We have an emergency call!"

Holley and Finn were in C.H.R.O.M.E. main headquarters, while they have received a call from Radiator Springs. Sarge informed them that a strange car drove through the town.

"What do you mean by strange?" asked Holly.

"Well… He looked nervous. He has been looking all over himself. Like… He was surprised how he looks. I am sure it was a spy in disguise."

"Wait, Sarge," said Finn. "When somebody looks over himself, it doesn't automatically mean he is a spy. However, thanks for the call, we will review it. Where did he go?"

"He drove right to the Ornament Valley near Wheel Well Motel. You should find him there. Sally went past him."

"Is she crazy?" wondered Holly. "If that's really a spy, it could be dangerous."

"It was on my purpose, I am sorry," said Sarge.

"It's fine. We're on our way," said Finn. "How does he look like?"

"I send a photo."

A few seconds after the photo appeared on the screen in front of both agents. It showed a light-blue car just like Sally was, but shaped like a racing car. Number 17 was on his side.

"This would barely be a spy," said Holly. "I bet he's only lost."

"We will find out," said Finn. "Siddeley!"

"Yes, Chief?"

"To the Radiator Springs, shall we?"

"Okay, hold on tight."

Just only a half an hour later, they jumped off Siddeley near Wheel Well Motel. Sally waited for them.

"Glad to see you both," she said. "How are you doing?"

"How a spy could be doing?" said Finn with a little smile on the light-blue Porsche girl. "Where is he?"

"Look." Sally pointed with her tire around the corner. Holley and Finn saw the car from the photo right in front of them. He stood back to them, looking into the falling sun.

"He doesn't look dangerous, what do you think?" said Holley.

"It might be a disguise," meant Finn. "We should better investigate it. Sally, did he do something odd?"

"Actually, yes," said Sally. "He was wandering there back and forth like he is lost."

"It looks like he's not armed," said Finn. "We will speak to him, wait there."

With that, both he and Holley drove past the corner right to the car. He heard them and turned around, but to their surprise, very slowly and with some problems.

"Can we help you, sir?" asked Finn.

"No, thank you," said he. "I am okay."

"But you are lost, aren't you?" said Holley. "We heard you are driving there back and forth."

"Yes, I am lost, but you can't help me with that," said the car. "Please, be on your way."

"Actually, we are on our way," said Finn. "That's our job."

"What, spying people?" said car.

"What did you say?" Holley gazed at him with surprise. "People?"

"Sorry, bad word, I meant cars."

"You're acting very weirdly, sir," said Finn. "Explain those words, now."

"It's none of your business," said he. "Let me go!"

He tried to turn around, but in a blink of eye, he was facing the guns that Finn aimed at him.

"Don't do a move!"

"What do you want?"

"Tell us who you are. Who sent you?"

"Oh come on. Do you really think I am a spy? Give those guns to their place, sir."

"Not until you tell us your name."

"You are eager to hear my name. Fine, then. I am Matthew. Matthew Clutcher."

"Any records, Holley?" asked Finn.

"Negative."

"Who are you, Matthew?" asked Finn.

"You wouldn't believe me if I tell you," said Matthew.

"I think we will believe anything," said Finn.

"Okay, I will tell you, if you tell me, who are you," said Matthew.

"I think we might have a deal. We must have been mistake, thinking you are a spy." Finn hid his guns back into his body. "I am Finn McMissile and this is Holley Shiftveil. We are who did we think you are. We are British spies."

Matthew glanced at them with sigh of relief. "Well, then I can tell you who I am, or even better, who I used to be. Spies could believe me and maybe help me from this situation."

"Are you in trouble?" asked Holley.

"Well, to be honest, yes," said Matthew. "I know that what I will tell is unbelievable, but you simply must believe me. I am –or I used to be – a human."

"WHAT?" shouted Finn and Holley at the same time.

"Shhh! For God's sake, not so loud!"

Holley smiled a bit. "Do you really think we will believe this ridiculous story?"

"As I said, you have to believe me or not. This is the truth," said Matthew. "But I didn't do anything wrong, so leave me alone."

He turned around slowly. It looked like he has big troubles with riding. Then he approached on the road and went away.

Finn and Holley returned to Sally. "I heard every single word," she said. "But I think you two didn't act right. He really looked like he needs some help."

"Sally," said Finn. "He tried to convince us that he's a human. That's simply impossible."

"What do you know? He might tell us the truth. I will go after him. I believe he is not dangerous."

"You're right, Sally, it wasn't fair from us," said Holley. "I will go too."

"Thanks, Holley." Sally smiled at her. "Finn?"

Finn was thinking for a minute. "Okay," said finally. "We will find him together. I also believe he is not dangerous. He did everything I ordered him, and when he told us he is a human, his sight was sincere. It might be true. And if it is, we must find him, or he will be in a big trouble.
