Rico, Skipper, and Cadet zoomed after the truck, close by now. They were just upon the truck, hearing Julian's cries for help, when Rico ran out of beans.
"Oh no!" Cadet cried. "They're getting away!"
At that moment, Private and Kowalski came up in the Barbie car.
"Care for a lift?" Private asked.
Rico and Skipper hopped into the backseat. Cadet sat on the tailgate and noticed an old lady hunched over the wheel, staring at them. Cadet smiled and waved, trying to look nonchalant.
"Skipper, there's an old lady behind us who is staring" Cadet warned. She watched as the lady grabbed a phone out of her purse.
"Skipper!" Cadet called. "She's calling Alice!"
"What?!" Skipper asked. "Rico!" Rico coughed up some binoculars and handed them to Skipper. "Kowalski!" Skipper called. "Turn around back to the enclosure. Private, check that license plate!"
"Yes sir!" Pirvate responded. Kowalski jerked the wheel, sending Cadet flying onto the hood. They were heading straight for the lady in the car. Cadet screamed, and then ducked, narrowly missing the bumper, which would have beheaded her. They raced to their enclosure and parked the car. Cadet headed down to HQ, while the others jumped onto the platform, smiled and waved.
Alice came over and looked into the enclosure. She sighed. She had been trying to prove that they had been doing things against the rules, but had failed. She walked off again, and Skipper, Private, Rico, and Kowalski headed down to HQ.
"Okay Private" Skipper said, when they were all situated after their encounter. "Where was the license plate from?"
"New Jersey" Private answered confidently.
"Well", Skipper said standing up, "that's where were gonna go."
