Remider: This chapter is really sad at some parts. Do I need to say it again? I own Halie, Harvey, Sam, Samson, Sydney, Laura, Molly, Blazer and Mark.
"Sydney! Head from Mater's to the Cozy Cone and make sure no car is left behind!" Harvey said to the police cruiser.
Sydney nodded and raced off. Harvey looked at Sam and Samson. "From Lizzie's to Flo's."
The two raced off as fast as Sydney. Looking at his father, Harvey lowered his voice. "You have to take everyone to the Interstate and head away from here."
"No Harvey, I'm not leaving you and Halie." Doc said, staring at his son with surprise.
"Please, I'll take care of Halie. I promise. It will be chaos without you to help the other cars." Harvey said.
Doc looked at Halie, then Harvey, then one of the bombs, before closing his eyes and sighing. He looked at Harvey, pride shining in his eyes.
"Alright son. I trust you." Doc said and sighed. He met up halfway with the Sheriff, who seemed confused at all the cars that were screaming.
Harvey looked at his sister and gave a sickening groan at the huge tear in her back. He nudged her as gently as he could though. "Halie, please, I'm not leaving you."
Halie opened her blue eyes and looked at her brother. "Leave no car behind. I'll wait for you."
Harvey looked at his sister with confusion until he realized that she wanted him to leave her. "No Halie. Not after what happened last time."
"Rusted hubcaps to that! Harvey, my brother, please."
Harvey sighed. He gave his sister one last affectionate nuzzle before racing off to meet Sam, who reported back. Halie sighed a slow and painful sigh.
Harvey looked back at his sister and made sure no one came from behind her. Sydney and Samson drove up to him, fear in there dark grayish blue eyes.
"Doc took Sally, Lightning, Sarge, Fillmore, Flo and Ramone towards the Interstate one way and my dad took Luigi, Guido, Lizzie, and Mater the other way, just to be sure that no trucks were still around." Sydney said.
"What about Mack?" Harvey asked her.
"I told him to help Halie into his trailer." Looking at the timer on the bombs with panic she nudged Harvey with fright. "Hurry Harvey, we have 5 minutes left!"
"What about the Delinquent Road Hazards?" Harvey asked.
"Who?" Laura was confused.
"The cars that are always in the Impound. What about them?" Harvey answered quickly.
"I…I didn't check." Samson admitted.
"Well go then!" Harvey said. Turning around, he saw that Halie had disappeared.
"Oh no, Halie where are you now" Harvey whispered.
"Don't worry; I'll have you guys out of there in no time." Halie said to the Road Hazards. They were all confused that this car was helping them.
"Yo, aren't you like Doc Hudson's daughter?" Boost asked her, staring suspiciously.
"Yes." Halie said. She bent a bit forward to work on the gate. The trucks had smashed the gate shut, so she had to pry it open. All four of the cars on the other side saw her torn up back and winced. DJ spoke up.
"What…what happened to your back?" he asked his eyes wide.
Halie looked at him and sighed. "Old pain."
"Who did it to you?" Wingo asked and Boost stared at him in surprise. Was that concern and protection in his voice?
"Blazer. A 1989 Dark blue blazer." Halie answered. "Crud, I can't get it open!"
Suddenly, Snot Rod felt it coming. A huge one too. He huffed at bit before letting out a huge sneeze. Halie stood back to avoid the huge gate that blew off the hinges. The four cars drove out.
"Snot Rod, why couldn't you just do that before?" DJ asked him.
Snot Rod shrugged.
"Well I underestimated you Halie." Blazer snarled.
Halie turned, but winced as her open wound throbbed. Blazer smiled evilly.
"Aw, is little Halie hurt?" he taunted.
Halie glared at him. "Oh yes, in extreme pain."
Blazer looked from behind the five cars to see the crane that had torn Halie open coming up for another attack. The four Delinquents looked at it with horror, but were silenced by the trucks. The crane came closer and closer, until Halie turned around, her eyes closed. A loud ripping sound came, but she felt no pain, opening her eyes, she saw a pool of oil spilled in front of her. A car lay on its shocks, oil coming from a huge gash in its side. Halie didn't know who it was, until she caught the familiar shape of a mustang.
"Oh Mark. No!" Halie cried, her eyes tearing up. She drove up to his side. The oil was flowing freely with no sign of stopping.
Mark looked at her, his green eyes weakly blinking. "Halie? Are...are you alright?"
"Yes, but…I need to take you back to..." Halie started.
"…to town? You have 3 minutes Halie. Besides, I'm going to die." Mark said.
"NO! Mark no! Please!" she nuzzled against him, ignoring the oil that covered his body. "I'm so sorry I doubted you."
"I deserved it. You're a great kid Halie. Take care of your family and friends. It's all you will have for a lifetime." Mark sighed. He gave Halie one more loving look, before the light in his eyes died and they closed, forever still.
"Mark?" Halie whispered.
No answer.
Halie closed her eyes, a few stray tears coming out. She faced the Blazer, anger in her blue eyes.
"Ha, that old fool. I knew he would crack and go crawling back to you." The car sneered. He continued laughing, until Halie's tire choked his grill.
"Shut it!" she snarled. The moon hit her body. You couldn't see her torn up back, but the moon made her eyes glow a green like color. She looked like a demon.
"What the…?" Blazer started. He threw Halie off. She kept her narrowed eyes on him. She looked normal now.
"Keep away from her!" Wingo said, driving in front of Halie. The Hudson was surprised. Who knew he liked her?
Blazer laughed. "What are you going to do if I don't, huh kid?" he took his tire and slightly bent his spoiler.
Wingo backed away. Looking at the bombs, Halie's eyes widened.
"Harvey! Come on! We got one minute left!" she called.
Almost a second later, Harvey, Laura, Sam, Samson and Sydney drove up, panicked.
"Come on! We have to go to Willie's Butte! I told Mack to go! We are the only ones!" Harvey said. He gave one look at Mark and felt tears come to his eyes. "Mark." He whispered.
Halie nodded. Even though Willie's Butte was not the safest place, it would have shelter.
The cars all drove off towards Willie's Butte. Harvey covered Halie with his wide body. Samson and Sam did the same for their sister's. The Delinquents pressed against the rocks, closing their eyes until a huge explosion was let off.
Blazer stared in horor and drove off as fast as he could, the trucks following close behind. The exploson kocked them all off their tires and unconcious.
On the Interstate, the explosion was seen. Doc, The Sheriff and Lightning just looked in horror.
"Laura, Sam. They are gone." Lightning whispered.
"No they are not. They are fine, along with the others." Doc said. The Sheriff nodded, but caught the look of worry and uncertainty in the old race cars eyes.
