"Do you have any idea where they took her?"
"No, I told you, all I found was a note with a cleverly hidden message." Siddeley explained once again to Finn.
"Well look at it again. Perhaps there's some sort of clue."
"Finn, I told you-" Siddeley started to say, but stopped when Holley snatched the paper from him.
"Hm…" she hummed, turning it over. "I'll be back." She told them, and walked away.
"Should we tell McQueen?" Finn asked.
"Bloody hell no! He'll freak out!"
"Like you are right now?" Finn asked, raising an eyebrow. Siddeley narrowed his eyes at him.
"I'm going to go tell him." Finn declared.
"And I'll be hiding." Siddeley answered, and turned to walk away, but Finn grabbed his shirt.
"Oh no you don't; you're coming with me."
"What!? Are you bonkers!?"
"Well you certainly are." Finn chuckled. "Come on, Sid." Finn said, and started dragging Siddeley by the shirt towards Lightning's house.
…
"She's been WHAT!? I thought you were protecting her!"
"We were, but-"
"But nothing! Go get her! And bring her back! Alive! See, this is sort of why I don't trust you guys! You're danger magnets! You're the reason Mater and I were almost killed!"
"McQueen, calm down, we-"
"Just go find my sister!"
"McQueen!" A southern voice called and the three of them turned to see Mater walking towards them.
"McQueen, you know it ain't their fault. They're mah friends, and they're not the only danger magnets, they wanted you dead too, remember?"
Lightning grumbled something under his breath. "Yeah. You're the bomb." He then said.
"They'll find Becca. And if they don't, promise you won't blame them. They might done be after you, too. They might be mad you done got away alive."
Finn and Siddeley looked at Mater both grateful and surprised with his authority. Lightning nodded and closed his door, while Mater turned to the spies.
"He's just upset about Becca, ya know. I think he forgives y'all for us almost dyin'…"
"You think. Wonderful." Siddeley told him. Finn elbowed him. "Ow…" He mumbled.
"Thank you, Mater." Finn told the tow truck driver.
"You IS gonna find her, right?"
"We're…trying…" was all Finn said.
"You don't know where they is, do you." Mater finished for Finn.
"No. But Holley left a while ago with the note they left and will hopefully be coming back with some answers…" Finn said looking behind him, suddenly remembering his partner.
"Well you better go see if she done got any! See ya guys later!" Mater smiled, and walked away.
…
Becca's vision was spinning and blurry as she slowing opened her eyes. She slowly fully came to her senses and looked around. "Ugh… Well at least it's not some dungeon with chains…" She mumbled as she looked around the room she was in. It was somewhat nice, not much like a prison cell at all. More like a hotel room or a room in an old person's house. It smelled like her grandfather's house, strangely enough, and when she looked around there were old tables, with lamps on a few, and a few other pieces of furniture.
The door opened and Becca whipped her head around to see who it was that opened it.
"Oh, look. You're up." Acer said. "I was told to guard you." He said, plopping down on the couch across from the one Becca was on.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"I'm not allowed to say." Acer replied. "But honestly I'm not sure you'd wanna know, anyway." He added with distaste. "And yes, Axlerod and Zundapp wanna kill you." Acer said just as Becca was opening her mouth to ask another question. She snapped it shut and stared at the ground.
"I told them that's really not necessary, we could just keep you here and say we killed you." Acer pointed out. "It sorta hurts to know we have to kill such a hot woman."
"Um…thanks…" Becca said, still looking at the ground.
Silent minutes passed.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Becca looked up. "You're going to kill me soon, and you're asking if I have a boyfriend?" she asked.
"Y…es?" Acer answered. Becca scoffed and looked back down at the floor.
"Well, no, I don't. Not that it'd matter, anyway…" She said, her voice trailing off as she thought of Siddeley. She kept thinking over and over how great it'd be if Siddeley felt the same way about her as she did about him. Then maybe she'd have a boyfriend…
The door opened again and the two of them looked over.
"Alright, Ace, your hour's up. It's my turn." Grem told him. Had it really been that long? Becca wondered.
"Okay, cuz." Acer said standing up and leaving, shutting the door behind him.
""Cuz"?" Becca repeated.
"Yeah. Acer's my cousin."
"Oh… That's… Well I figured you two might be related somehow, but…"
"No you didn't." Grem smiled. "Probably just thought we were best friends or something."
"Okay, you caught me." Becca said, looking back down at the floor.
"Truth is, we're more like brothers. My aunt and uncle were killed when Acer was nine. My parents took him in."
"Oh… No offense, but you're telling me this why?"
Grem shrugged. "Figured talking to you would be better than raping you or something, don't you think?"
Becca stared at him. "Please," she said, holding up her hand motioning for him to keep going. "Continue."
"Also I figured listening to a random story would be more entertaining than staring at the ground waiting to die. Welp," Grem sighed. "This is actually pretty fun." He grinned. "Acer always said I was a good storyteller. Anyway, back in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when Ace was sixteen and I was seventeen, we ran into these thugs. We tried to fight them off, and they said they could use us in their next scheme. One thing led to another and we were helping them a lot. It was a good job that paid a lot of money, which was good, because my parents were sorta… not the richest."
Becca nodded. Grem was right, this was more entertaining than staring at the floor. "What happened?"
"About a year later we wanted out. They… well they didn't exactly allow that."
"What did they do?" Becca asked.
"They… killed my parents…" Grem said. Becca silently gasped. "I was eighteen by then so both Ace and I got jobs and lived in a small apartment."
"What about your parent's house?" Becca inquired.
"They burned it down." He explained.
"Then you met the other Lemon drivers?" Becca asked.
"Yeah. Then everything got messed up."
The two of them turned towards the door again to see that Acer opened it holding a glass to his ear.
"Messed up? That's all you're gonna say? Things were horrible!"
"Ya wanna sit and talk with me and wanna get yelled at by Zundapp?" Grem asked.
"…yeah okay sure." Acer said and plopped down next to his cousin.
…
After Grem and Acer's story the three of them sat in silence until Becca told a quick story about Lightning, and then sat in silence some more. That is, until the door slammed open and probably left cracks in the wall.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" A furious German accent demanded and Grem and Acer jumped up.
"Uh… Hi, Professor!" Grem said.
"Do not "hi Professor" me!" He yelled.
"We weren't telling her nothing…" Acer said.
"Just get her to the other room, Axelrod wants her…" Zundapp groaned facepalming.
"Okie dokie." Acer said grabbing Becca's arm and standing up.
"W-what does he want with me?"
"Mm-mm-mm." Acer replied, shrugging. "Professor?"
"Keine Ahnung."
"English, please?" Acer asked.
"No idea." Becca answered, receiving a confused look from Zundapp.
"You speak German?" He asked.
"Sort of." Becca shrugged.
"Kommen auf, Axlerod is waiting." Zundapp said, walking out.
Grem and Acer, each holding an arm of Becca's, followed.
Acer leaned over closer to Becca. "Uh… this is sorta weird, but, what did he say?" he whispered.
"Um… come on…" Becca whispered back.
"…you smell nice." Acer whispered after a while.
"This is the weirdest kidnapping ever…" Becca murmured to herself.
…
"Holley, I just don't know what to do…"
"For now, do nothing, I guess." Holley shrugged. "That's all I can say, Sid. Or get an idea yourself."
Holley and Siddeley were driving through rainy London to CHROME Headquarters to meet Finn. Siddeley was driving, and Holley was in the passenger seat.
"Besides," Holley smiled. "Right now, we need to focus on rescuing her."
"What about going back to Radiator Springs?" Siddeley asked.
"Finn said we're going to HQ first, then tracking Becca down." She answered, touching the necklace Mater had surprised her, and everyone, with the last time the spies were in Radiator Springs.
Siddeley sighed and turned on the radio. Holley looked over at it.
"Siddeley?" She asked.
"Yes?"
"Is this 80's music?"
"Maybe…"
"Finn doesn't pay you enough attention." Holley shook her head as a Billy Joel song came on. "Hey… I know this song…"Holley said.
"Well I guess it's still considered sorta popular…" Siddeley said. "Well not popular, but known, I guess."
The two of them sat listening to the lyrics for a while.
"I'm gonna try for an uptown girl, she's been living in her white bread world, as long as anyone with hot blood can, and now she's looking for a downtown man, that's what I am,"
"Hey!" Holley suddenly said.
"What?" Siddeley asked.
"I hear Radiator Springs has karaoke nights, right?"
"Where are you going with this?"
"Becca's the daughter and sister of famous race car drivers, right? So she's sorta rich…"
"And…?"
"And you're not."
"Hey!"
Holley giggled. "Just listen."
"Alright…" Siddeley raised an eyebrow.
Holley smiled at him.
"Ohhhhh I see where you're going with this. I don't think that'll work, Holley."
"You could try…"
"No. Besides… There's no way Finn would allow that, anyway. It's a miracle he allows you to be with Mater…"
"I could distract him, if you want." Holley suggested.
"Okay, why are you really doing this?" Siddeley asked, suspicious.
"Nowhere." Holley answered shrugging again. "What, I can't want you to be happy? Besides…" she smiled. "I've seen the way Becca looks at you."
"Real-Oh crap!" Siddeley suddenly exclaimed and swerved off the wet road, and flipped over. Holley and Siddeley cried out as the car flipped back right up on its tires.
"Holley, are you alright!?" Siddeley asked.
Holley sat up. "Yeah…" She said, shaking off her dizziness. "What happened?"
"I'm not sure…" Siddeley said, looking out the back window. "There are more stopped cars on the road. We're not the only ones who crashed."
"Should I call Finn?"
"You probably should." Siddeley answered.
Holley took out her phone and pressed speed dial. "Finn?"
"Holley? What's the matter?" Came Finn's response.
"Um… Well Sid and I are on our way to CHROME HQ, but we got a little side tracked."
"Please don't tell me Siddeley got hungry…" Finn groaned.
"No, we got in a car crash." Holley responded casually.
"You WHAT? Are you two alright? What happened!?"
"Now you've done it…" Siddeley said.
"Finn! We're fine! It's raining out here, there's always a moron that drives in the rain like there's nice weather! Relax!"
"H-Holley…?" Siddeley asked.
"What?"
"I-is that a Gremlin…?"
Holley's eyes widened when she followed Sid's gaze towards the purple Gremlin still on the road.
"Finn? I think I know who that moron is… But not for driving carelessly… Holley said into her phone. "Oh my God, Siddeley, you're bleeding!"
"That's it, I'm coming over there…" Holley heard Finn say before he hang up.
"What?"
"You must've banged your head when the car flipped over!"
Siddeley lifted his hand to his head, and sure enough, there was blood on his hand when he took it away. "Huh."
"Alright, who are you and what have you done with Siddeley?" Holley asked, shocked he wasn't freaking out.
"I'm not a child, Holley, I don't freak out when I'm bleeding…" Siddeley said, looking forward.
"Sid, it's just us." Holley said. "Go ahead."
Siddeley took a deep breath. "I'vegotaheadwoundI'mgoingtodie!" He shrieked quickly. "Okay I'm good I think…" He said looking back at Holley.
They both jumped at a tapping on the window. They looked over to see Finn disguised as a police officer.
"Siddeley… Why aren't you freaking out?" Finn asked taking off his sunglasses.
"Already done, sir." Siddeley replied, still staring forward clutching the windshield.
Finn stared at him for a moment.
"Maybe you should switch to the back, Sid?" Holley suggested.
Siddeley grumbled something and climbed into the back while Finn sat in the driver's seat and just as fast shrugged out of his police jacket to reveal his blue-grey suit jacket.
"I'll never understand how you do that." Holley murmured as Finn drove the car back onto the road. "Wait, how'd you get here? Where's your car?"
Finn smiled. "You will never know."
…
"Any leads yet?"
"Sorry, Mr. McMissile. Nothing yet. Not much info we can get off a note."
"Shoot…" Holley mumbled.
"Okay, I'm back." Siddeley said walking over with bandages on his head.
"Great. We've got bad news." Holley told him.
"Nothing yet?"
"Afraid not, Sid." She replied. "Though we do have some good news."
"Great! Tell me!"
"We looked into the purple Gremlin that supposedly caused the crash; he did indeed want us to be part of it." Holley told him.
"Wait, that's a good thing how?"
"He's in custody right now." Finn explained. "I'll bet he knows where McQueen's sister is being kept."
"Well then! Let's go crack him!" Siddeley said before running off.
"I honestly don't know Siddeley anymore…" Finn shook his head.
Holley rolled her eyes. "It's obvious, Mr. British Intelligence. Can't you see?"
"See what?" Finn asked, turning to face Holley.
"You've really never noticed the way Siddeley acts around Becca?" she asked, and Finn stared at her blankly.
"No wonder you've never been married…" Holley scoffed walking after Siddeley.
"Holley!" Finn exclaimed, a bit offended, and walked after her.
…
"I don't know!" The Lemon driver exclaimed for the umpteenth time. "Zundapp just told me to make sure you got delayed from finding McQueen, not where she was!"
"What if we told you we don't believe you?" Finn glared at him.
"Then too bad!"
"Listen to me, you better tell us where the bloody hell she is or-"
"Finn…" Holley put her hand on Finn's shoulder. Finn sighed and stepped out of the room with Siddeley.
Holley smiled at him, then turned to the Lemon driver. "Listen, just tell us where they're holding her, and we promise not to hurt you." She told him.
"I swear, I don't know nothing!" was his reply once again. Holley sighed.
"What significance do you see in lying to a spy?" she asked.
The Lemon driver bit his lip and was quiet for a minute.
"Now are you going to tell me? Or do I have to get my electroshockers and/or gun?"
"Alright! Alright, they're… here, in London."
"Where?" Holley demanded.
"Um… I don't know what it's called, but I can point it out on a map." He answered, and Holley pulled up her screen out of her bracelets. "Um…there." He said, pointing. "Right there."
And that concludes my story updates for now. Review? ^^
