Authors note: I kind of am rushing to the ending, there is one more chapter after this
Mr. Frensky, and company decided to get cars 43, 44 and possibly 45, there was a chance for cars 46 and beyond but they were cautious of the operation.
Mr. Frensky unlocked the car with a simple coat hanger and Reno hotwired it; and they were off driving down the road as fast as they could safely without crashing.
Mr. Crosswire and Moss were taking a Hummer, it was on the list, it was fairly common to see one but were major gas guzzlers they hoped that they wouldn't run out of gas because it would mean precious time, they had drove off; Buck was to follow, not to close to attract police but just to pick them up.
They knew the risks associated now, 16 cars left, and there was probably a police presence.
Mr. Crosswire had asked him, "Oliver should we go back to my neighborhood for car 45?"
He was thinking, "Police were probably called, we could go to cruise night and do sleep gas on the people there and take the cars."
They had driven back to a retro diner, it was busy, but soon it would be sleepy, Buck threw some canisters of sleeping gas into the crowd and everyone was asleep. They had put on their gas masks, and had taken cars 45-48, Buck still driving, far away from them because of the risk of getting caught.
They had passed the county line and dropped off the cars, it was odd there was no police around, but it was probably explained that they were in Mr. Crosswires neighborhood.
This had thrown off the police severely because they were on high alert; when Mr. Crosswire got home that evening, nearly every member of the police force was in the neighborhood looking for clues.
The next day at school hostilities between Fern and Sue Ellen picked up, Max was caught in the middle of it; as was Arthur, and the aardvark boy was telling Sue Ellen just to ignore her, even though Fern couldn't really move on.
Max was at times physically separating the two girls now because of this.
It was stressful, Max almost being scratched and kicked by the two girls, Arthur telling Sue Ellen to just ignore Fern.
As the days had passed, Max was getting annoyed as Sue Ellen were going at it again, "THAT'S IT!" he yelled, "I am tired of you both fighting all the time, I am tired of you both making me pick sides!"
And he ran off sitting under a tree crying.
Both girls were shocked, they both walked towards Max.
"We are sorry for the way we were acting."
Max wiped away his tears, "Are you going to apologize?"
Fern sighed, "Max, sometimes you need to accept the cold harsh truth…"
"Yea, if Fern saves my life I will consider it, but can you both leave us alone?" Sue Ellen asked curiously.
"Why aren't you fighting?" Max asked sadly.
"We both saw how upset you got and we are sorry for how we both had been treating you," Fern explained and they both walked their separate ways.
"Girls are so weird…" Max stated.
Buster looked on, "You're telling me Muffy acts as if…"
"She was on the rag all the time?" Binky asked.
"Shut up Binky, same with you Buster! And not this rag thing again!" Muffy yelled.
Mrs. Armstrong sighed, "You still have detentions Ms. Crosswire..."
Muffy lowered her head as Arthur and Sue Ellen looked on, Arthur had cleared his throat, and looked at the floor, "Muffy, I think it may be time for us to part ways…"
Muffy sighed and went to detention without saying a word.
Later that afternoon and several cars later bring us to Car 59 was at the top level of a four level garage, it was a very fast Italian sports car parked at the top level that was needed to be stolen.
Buck and Reno took the liberty to steal it as Mr. Freeman followed them. Buck drove full speed and jumped the ramp off the building onto the street level as noted when they had stolen two cars earlier and did the same thing.
Mr. Freeman and Mr. Ryder were full of piss and vinegar, they both decided to jump at full speed. When they landed at the street level the bodies of the two squad cars fell off leaving the frame.
Freeman and Ryder were cursing like sailors as Buck and Reno got away to deliver the speed demon of a car.
It was car 60 now time was 3:30 PM; Buck dropped off 59 and wanted to start 60 he was the driver for this mission, Muffy was wanting to ride shotgun for car 60, the Dodge viper model year 2003 was on the other side of town, they both had to travel the streets of Elwood City to get to the county line, and as Cars 49-57 involved higher law enforcement, this was ultimately risky.
The car was much faster than most police cars.
He had run up to the Viper when he had seen it; it was beautiful, it was a red color and it looked like it was recently cleaned and waxed.
Mr. Crosswire and everyone else was disabling security, on it, while Buck had hotwired it. Muffy jumped into the front seat and they had driven off.
The roar of the engine revving up was nearly deafening; but there was a problem now.
The problem was that the police were now following them.
"PULL OVER!" Freeman yelled as he was in a new cop car.
Buck turned to Muffy, "Hold on, this car can go very fast!"
Muffy held on and within moments the Viper sped down the street around the corner and Freeman had lost them.
"All units, please be advised, there is a stolen 2003 Dodge Viper heading towards the Teal County Line, please put out an APB to highway patrol and state troopers as the driver and anyone involved will be arrested."
He continued driving trying to catch up.
While Sue Ellen was walking across the street, it was safe, but Buck sped towards the crosswalk. Fern shrieked when she had seen the speeding viper!
