"Finn... Please let me do this alone. You're always saying how I need more field experience, this is my chance!"
"Siddeley, it's just too risky this time." Finn tried to convince.
"Oh just because she's McQueen's sister means she's more important than any other hostage?"
"Siddeley!"
"I know you think that, Sid..." Holley mumbled.
"What?" Both Sid and Finn said turning to look at her.
"Nothing..." she said, turning away and messing with some gadgets.
"You can help us, but there's no way you're going in alone. This is Axlerod and Zundapp we're dealing with. They're too dangerous to handle alone." Finn told him then broke eye contact. "Trust me..." he said quietly running his hand over a faint scar on his face.
"Wait, Finn, you mean... That's the only time you came back from a mission seriously injured... you mean Axlerod and Zundapp..."
"Cannot be confronted alone." Finn said, turning back towards him to look his old friend in the eye.
"We do need all the help we can get, Siddeley." Holley told him. "Right now that help is you."
"Good. I was coming even if you told me not to." he confidently told her, turning his back on Finn to work on some gadgets with Holley.
"What is it with you and Rebecca?" Finn asked, curiosity evident in his voice. Siddeley froze and shot a slightly panicked look at Holley.
"Uh...well..." he started. A million thoughts ran through his head. If Finn knew he wouldn't let him go, if he had feelings for the one they were rescuing. It was a miracle he let Holley and Mater be together, even if Becca did feel the same way Finn would never allow it. He'd get such a scolding from his friend and superior he-
"They're good friends. He just really wants her back safely." Holley calmly told Finn, suddenly ending Siddeley's panicked thoughts.
Finn was silent for a moment and Sid was scared to turn around and see his suspicious face. "Alright then. But remember... friendships-"
"-can be dangerous in our line of work, we know. What do you call your relationship with Mater, then?" Siddeley asked him.
"Friendship..." Finn said.
"Hypocrite."
"Hey..." Finn said.
"Uh huh. Are we leaving now, or what? We don't want to get there too late." Siddeley announced.
"Don't want to be run over by McQueen..." Holley murmured in a sing-song voice, finishing loading her gun and slipping it into her pocket.
...
Grem was strapping Becca's arms to the arm rests of the chair she was being tied to. Acer was tying her legs to the front two legs of the chair.
"Seriously, why do you want me? What are you going to do with me?" Becca demanded.
"Don't make us put a gag on you." Zundapp threatened, not turning around from whatever he was working on. They were in a lab of some sort. Becca huffed and stopped talking. "Ow!" she quietly exclaimed as Grem strapped one arm tighter than the other.
"So what is this, Professor?" Becca asked, sounding more out of curiosity than fear. She figured if she didn't seem scared, it would taunt them.
"You don't sound afraid." he commented.
"I'm not." she lied confidently.
"Well you should be." Axlerod said walking into the lab. Becca turned her head to look at him walk past her chair.
"Is it ready yet, Professor?" he asked, walking up next to Zundapp.
"Almost, sir. Your invention... I am still impressed you would come up with something like this."
"It was simple after some brainstorming. Besides," he said. "I'm not even the one who succeed in the actual making."
"Well we're both about to succeed in the testing." Zundapp said, turning around. Becca silently gasped when she saw what was in his hand.
"Do you know what this syringe contains, Miss McQueen?" Axelrod casually asked.
"Do I want to?" she replied.
"Not really I don't think, no." he answered. "But I'll just tell you this..." he said then paused. "It's going to kill you."
Becca looked up at him with a glint of fear in her eyes as Zundapp grinned evilly as the needle approached her arm.
...
"We're almost there." Finn commented.
"Almost isn't good enough." Siddeley mumbled, looking down at the switch that activates the afterburners, wishing they went faster. "About five more minutes and we'll be there."
"I have a bad feeling we're going to get there just a little too late..." Holley shook her head. "Even with their idiot henchmen their plans are always so well thought out..."
"We're going to save her." Finn said confidently. "We've gotten hostages out of harder scenarios before.
Minutes later, Siddeley spoke up. "I was wrong. Looks like we're two minutes ahead of schedule." he said.
"Let's hope that's enough time..." Holley said.
...
"I think our best bet is the air ducts." Siddeley suggested.
"Good call." Holley complimented, and took the vent off and jumped up. She reached down for her partners, and one by one pulled them both up. She put the vent back on as Finn was explaining to listen to any struggling or anything.
Siddeley listened for a moment with his eyes closed in concentration, then opened his eyes. "This way." he said, and started crawling.
"Are you sure?" Finn asked.
"Positive." he answered.
It didn't take long to get to the room Becca was in. For a moment they spied on Axlerod and Zundapp, who were watching Becca blocking their view of her. Satisfied about something, they moved out of the way.
"Leave her, here. We'll be back later to see how it's progressed." Axlerod ordered Grem and Acer, who followed their bosses out the door.
Once it was closed, Holley took the vent off and jumped down, Sid and Finn after her. The three ran over to her. She looked up at them.
"Holley...? Sid...? Finn...?" she asked. She seemed tired from something.
"We're going to get you out of here." Siddeley told her, kneeling down and untying her restraints, while Holley did the others and Finn stood watch near the door.
"What did they do to you?" Sid asked.
"Axlerod, he... they were talking about he invented this stuff... they injected me with it, he said...said it would k...kill me..."
"Can you walk?" Holley asked, dropping her now untied restraints.
"I don't... I dunno..." She shook her head.
Holley took her hands and helped her up. She stumbled so Holley sat her back down.
"Finn, there's no way we can escape through the ducts when she's like this." Holley told her elder spy.
"We have to try, Plan B is a bit... loud and violent..." Finn said.
"Plan A it is." Holley said, helping Becca up again. "Sid, help me." she told him, and together they supported Becca.
Holley went up into the vent first, then Sid, then Becca. Finn went last and put the vent back on. Becca was starting to breathe a little heavily.
"Come on. Sid, it doesn't sound like the best way but I think it'll be quickest; follow me and drag Becca after you. Finn, make sure she's not getting hurt while Sid's doing that."
"Right." Sid answered, and the three of them started moving. It took a few minutes, but they finally got out of the air vents and were ready to make their way to the waiting jet.
"Alright, let's go." Finn whispered.
"Hey!" someone yelled. Finn shot a tranquilizer dart at him.
"Where on earth were you hiding that?" Holley asked.
Finn smiled. "Somewhere." was all anyone said before making a run for the jet. Once inside, they were being shot at by a Lemon who witnessed his coworker being shot and had alerted some of the others.
"Sid, start the plane, start the plane!" Holley exclaimed before the plane started and launched into the sky.
