A/N: Hellloooo again. I'm here with another chapter!

Disclaimer: I own none of the recognizable characters, Disney/Pixar owns them.

Finn was the first to wake. He groaned as he came out of sleep, blinking. He was sore everywhere, especially where he'd hit the door ramming through it. He groaned again as he tried stretching, and everything felt like it was on fire. That's when he realized the familiar rough hands softly petting his neck and heard Ethan's voice soothing him.

"Little sore there big guy?"

Once again, Finn let out a soft groan. Ethan chuckled, "Figured."

Finn opened his eyes fully, blinking again at the sudden light. Heaving a sigh, and brought his head up. He looked around, flicking his ears once and yawning. He really should be more alert, but he trusted Ethan and Rod and Blake to keep him safe until he could defend them.

Noticing how Rod was showing signs of waking, Finn stood. Once standing, he shook. It hurt a bit, considering how sore his muscles were. He really found out how sore they were once he was standing, if the groan Ethan heard was anything to go by.

Blake jerked awake at the sound. "What's wrong?" Was mumbled drowsily from where Blake was still half asleep. Finn watched as Ethan grabbed a pillow and chucked it at his friend, who yelped and ducked as the pillow flew by him only to hit Rod, who snorted awake and flung himself sideways.

Finn just tilted his head and smirked at Rod, who - realizing what had happened - pinned his ears at the three, Ethan and Blake laughing.

The happy mood didn't last long as their focus was shifted back to the mission at hand. Reviewing the maps Blake found their first problem.

"The building was destroyed when the bomber went off. Where are they all going? They have to have a back up building somewhere."

"Your right," Ethan sat back, bringing his hand to touch his face, "Where would that be though?"

Finn looked outside, taking in the vast city. He carefully looked at each building, taking in as much detail as he could of each one and trying to figure out if it could be used as a safe house for master criminals.

"It shouldn't be too far away from this building, should it?"

"No," Finn shook his head, frowning at his limited view. "They wouldn't have run off in a big group if it wasn't. It must be around here."

"Where could they be hiding? It wouldn't be too obvious."

Finn and Rod shared a look. It wouldn't be too obvious. And that would mean it was completely obvious, just not to someone who wasn't looking for it. "We need to think like a criminal and look around the city for possible hiding places."

"Would it be similar to this building?"

"It might be", Rod shrugged, "We will need to look."

"For traces of them as well. Hoofprints is blood, because some of them had injuries," Blake jumped off the couch, heading to the room with their horses tack. "Let's get started shall we?"

They took ten minutes to tack up before heading out. Cantering you the ruined building, Blake and Ethan jumped off to look for clues.

"Why don't you two go look around for a while and try to find anything that may look suspicious," Ethan said. "We will contact you if we find anything and you do the same?"

Finn and Rod nodded, turning around and springing into a fast canter. They ran along in silence for a moment, before Finn asked, "Where do you think we should look first?"

Rod hummed, "Somewhere around here. As Blake said, it would be somewhere close to the other building."

"Should we split up?"

Rod thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No, if one of us were to get trapped we couldn't fight our way out by ourselves."

Finn nodded, glancing to his right. He had to do a double take before sliding to a stop, Rod slowing down in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"It's that filly again," Finn and Rod both watched as a small Arabian shaped head poked out from around a building, curvy ears pricked towards them. "She was among the ones running away yesterday."

"So? She could be trying to lead us to an ambush."

Finn hesitated. Rod was right, but he had a feeling that she wasn't. That she was trying to seek help. But he couldn't defy the older stallion or Ethan's orders. Turning around he said, "Your right. Where should we go?"

"Over this way," Once more, Rod took off in a canter with Finn following swiftly after him.

The filly tilted her head as well as dropped it. She'd been hoping they would come to her, so The Boss could trap them. But they were smart, the blue one had figured it out. Now she'd get punished for failing to bring the stallions to The Boss.

Finn and Rod turned a corner, stumbling upon an old warn out building on the corner of a street. Staring up at it, Finn asked, "Is it too obvious?"

"I don't think so," Rod cautiously moved forward, nudging the door a bit. When it didn't move he said, "It's locked."

"Watch out," Finn backed up, throwing his head up a bit before charging and blowing through the door. The same as yesterday, the door splintered and fell open.

"Do you have a thing with running through doors, McMissile?"

The voice came from inside the building, and both agents ears shot back. "We aren't here to play games, Zundapp," Finn's nostrils flared, his head head and ears swiveling to try and pinpoint exactly where the stallion was, "Show yourself!"

"Oh, but where's the fun in that?" A chuckle, and the voice was from the other side of the room. "I would much rather like to play with you, Finn."

Rod was by his side in an instant, covering his blind spot for him, "We aren't playing, Zundapp. Come out now before we force you."

"I don't think you'd like to do that." Finn tensed, his skin crawling and he couldn't quite suppress a shiver. "Scared, are we McMissile?"

"Not a chance," Finn spoke through clenched teeth, pinning his ears.

"I like this side of you, Finn. Cocky, so sure of yourself. I really wish you could live longer, but seeing as you jeopardize my job I can't quite keep you around. Ethan will be so devastated. And come to think of it, so will Blake!"

Before either spy could react, two gunshots were heard.

A/N: I have to say, writing wise this is my favorite chapter so far. I'm getting back into the groove of this story and hopefully will be updating regularly again. Hope you guys enjoyed 3 Have good Holidays and a Happy New Year!
