MARIA
good race Trixie
TRIXIE
same to you
POPS
how does the Shooting Star handle Maria?
MARIA
with no attempts at sabotage it handles great Pops
well they go to the very bar Speed and Rex are at to celebrate
OWNER
congrats on the win Maria
MARIA
thanks (sighs) though I wish the race wasn't necessary
OWNER
I know but it was an excellent tribute to two fine racers
PATRON
the masked racer is a cheat sometimes
OWNER
that's enough!, if you want to talk bad about Racer X you can leave he was a good racer and I watched him if I could
Maria recognizes the signs
MARIA
(low) what #
OWNER
(low) 2 and I know you're agent 15
Rex walks up
REX
planning something
MARIA
no
REX
well if you are (drops voice) agent 9 at your service I'll explain later new agent 5 is also alive
MARIA
understood car is safe by the way
REX
I saw thanks
MARIA
just make sure you and Speed reveal yourselves soon oh and you have to report in to the boss
REX
I will after you finish the case
MARIA
but agent 9
REX
no buts 15 it's too dangerous for 5 and myself to be revealed right now
MARIA
fine but I want you both back on the track soon
well Maria was in trouble and she knew it
SPY
you're going down girl
just then Speed and Rex showed up as Speed and Racer X
MARIA
Speed, Racer X good to see you
RACER X
likewise Maria
SPEED
get out of here Maria you need to finish the race
MARIA
small problem
SPEED
what's wrong?
He looks up to see Maria being pointed at with a gun
PERSON
if you don't surrender now she gets it
Speed and Racer X stop fighting
PERSON
we've completely disabled your cars so you won't be going anywheres soon
MARIA
small problem if I don't finish the race people will know something is wrong and come looking for me
PERSON
true but by the time they find you you'll be dead
he then shoots all three of them and leaves them for dead 2 hrs later at the finish line
TRIXIE
I don't see Maria anywheres Pops
SPARKY
neither do I
POPS
she probably just had a bit of car trouble and had to stop to repair it
just then a friend of the Racers crossed the finish line first and runs over to the officials while at the same time motioning the Racers over
OFFICIAL
what's going on John you should be getting your trophy
JOHN
you need to call Inspector Detector here immediately
OFFICIAL
but why?
HOHN
because I passed Maria's car an hr ago and it was sabotaged and there was no sign of Maria anywheres nearby
the officials call the Inspector from the box and John retells the story to the Inspector
INSPECTOR
I'm going to the sight
JOHN
so am I
INSPECTOR
no I need you here to tell the other racers
JOHN
you'll never find it without me I know it's exact location since it's hidden I only saw it because I slid on an ice patch
POPS
how about Trixie takes the two of you up and Sparky and I will stay here to inform the other racers
SPARKY
besides this race is hard on the cars and some teams don't have a mechanic so I'll be busy helping them
15 minutes later they were at the creeping 15
INSPECTOR
definitely sabotage but where's Maria?
With Maria, Speed and Racer X
MARIA
we may have faked our deaths initially but if we don't get help soon we'll be dead for real
RACER X
true but lets just rest a minute since we're all exhausted
SPEED
can't cliffs too steep
MARIA
how about the ledge up there
SPEED
works for me
little did they know the ledge was actually the course and where John, Inspector Detector, and Trixie were with Maria's car 5 minutes later
