Cars of CHROME: Episode 2: Undercover in Aisle 8: Prologue

It was 5:30 A.M. at the CHROME Detroit Station. Johnson P. Router, the chief, was waiting impatiently for a visitor. At last the door opened and a nervous-looking forklift rushed in.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, this new superstore opened and…"

"Nevermind, did you get the code?"

"Yes, barely."

"Good, let me see it."

The forklift pulled out an envelope with a red sticker on it and gave it to Router. After examining the paper, he looked very puzzled.

"What the hell is this?"

"Isn't it the code?"

"Was the code written in a code itself?"

"What do you mean?"

"Something about a flatscreen and 30 percent off soy milk."

Router showed the forklift the paper, and he froze.

"Uh oh."
"What?"

"I remember now, I switched envelopes with some coupons for the superstore and I was in a rush so I just handed the cashier the other envelope and... well… you probably know the rest."

Router groaned "This is why I don't normally send you out on field missions, contact agents Redline and McQueen, there's no time to lose!"

"Right, sorry about this, how about a flatscreen television?"

Router glared.

"Just a thought sir, just a thought."

After the forklift left, Router thought to himself "It wouldn't hurt to have a flatscreen."
