Parker drove FAB1 back to the mansion as Penelope brushed her hair out from its messy bun.

"It's a shame we didn't win M'Lady."

"I know Parker, but saving a life was more important. Plus, we stopped the Chaos Crew," Penelope laughed. "I can't believe they stopped at a petrol station, the biggest mistake I've ever seen on a chase."

Parker chuckled, "h'at least we have the turbo computer."

"Very true," Penelope stroked Sherbert who was sitting on her lap. "I wonder why the Chaos Crew needed it so badly?"

Back at their temporary base, the duo in question were talking to the Hood, he was still laughing much to Fuse's annoyance.

"We did our best boss."

"And yet International Rescue beat you, and not even with a ship. Do you not hear how foolish you sound?"

Havoc looked down at the ground, "they gave us the slip, and besides, Fuse was the one who left the car unlocked."

"We stopped for five minutes and no one else was at that gas station."

"Enough! You do realise that they've stolen the one thing which would've given us complete access to the GDF's mainframe? Now, thanks to your incompetence, we're back to square one!"

"Yes boss," Havoc said quietly. "We'll find another way."

"You best do, my reliance on you two is starting to wear thin."

Havoc looked across at Fuse sadly, "yes sir."

Meanwhile, Penelope had arrived home and was in a group call with the Tracys.

"We saw the whole race, you disappeared for ages," Alan laughed. "Did you take a detour?"

"I guess you could say that. We went to help a driver in need and interfere in the Hood's work."

Kayo smirked, "what have you done to my uncle then?"

"Just stopped his plans, again."

"Nice work Penny," Scott smiled as he winked at Kayo next to him.

"So who won?" Gordon asked.

"Well, we told the race officials what had happened and we were awarded third place for participation and for saving a life."

"That's brilliant, well done."

"Thank you, Gordon."

"What about the Chaos Crew then?" Virgil looked up from the sketchpad he had been drawing in.

"They got away, but they got away empty-handed. Again. That's a win."

"Weren't you listening, Virgil?" Scott shook his head.

"I was sketching, sorry."

Kayo laughed. "We'll catch them one day. Rigby and I are working on ways to get them, we take their equipment and they've lost."

Scott rested his arm on the sofa behind Kayo's shoulders, "sounds good to me."

Kayo curled up against his side, "it's a plan at least, better than nothing."

Virgil shrugged, "I guess so."

Penelope smiled down at everyone, "well, I shall leave you in peace."

"Good to hear from you Penny," Scott looked around at everyone before grinning at her. "Next time, we want to see you behind the wheel for the race."

"We'll see Scott, we'll see," she laughed, then her eyes rested on Gordon before her hologram disappeared from the lounge leaving the young man to stare into the space she had been in.

"You look a little lost there Gordon," Virgil teased as his brother went scarlet.

"Don't worry, she'll be back," Alan chirped in making the others laugh.

"Oh shut up," Gordon stuck his tongue out as he sat back against the sofa.
