Ok, so, I'm not going to lie, I got this idea from Oliver and Company, but, I did change it up a bit. Also, this chapter probably won't be that long.
Barley ran up to Dison who was waiting at the squad car, Peabody was with another officer in an other squad car under Barley's own orders. Reaching into his pocket he tossed the key's to Dison.
"You drive." He ordered his partner as he got into the car, who just blinked. Dison got in as well and started the car and they sped off.
"Why aren't you driving?" Dison asked turning the sirens on.
"You'll see."
Dison sighed and accelerated, following where Barley told him where to go. Barley could hear the sound of other sirens wailing in the distance. Sure enough, Barley could see the back of the truck. Barley reached over and rolled his window down, making Dison do a double take.
"What are you doing?" Dision questioned him, Barley looked at Dison and just smiled a bit, but, did not respond. It made Dison shudder. He pressed down on the gas a little more, the engine revved as the speed increased. The wind from the open window hit both Dison and Barley full speed, whipping their hair to the side.
"Get closer to the back of the truck." Barley demanded, Dison let out a soft noise but complied and sped up, what in the world was Barley going to do? The road they were on was a narrow one, there was no where for anyone to turn without winding up in a ditch. The truck in front of them sped up faster.
"Get closer." Barley told DIson, with a grunt, Dison did as he was told and got as close as he could. Both him and the kidnappers going at very dangerous speeds. The driving officer felt his breath get caught in his throat when he saw a tuff of red hair peek out from the bed of the truck.
"Closer." Barley said, it caused Dison to look at his older partner.
"I don't want to get too-"
"Put the fender to his bumper!"
"WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO!?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Dison sighed and sped up, the needle on the speedometer in the red zone. Dison looked out his window briefly he could see other cop cars coming their way, an intersection coming up, he really didn't want a repeat of before. Dison looked back to the back of the truck, he couldn't see Sherman's red hair anymore, he figured the kid was trying to get out of his bindings. He turned to his partner again and did another double take. Barley had his back turned towards his window, sitting sideways in the seat.
"Barley...BARLEY!" Dison screamed as his partner started to wiggle out of the moving car through the window.
The officer outside of the moving car now grabbed on top the hood of the car and hoisted himself up, his feet on the window, he clutched on to the hood, the winds from the speed they were going was hard enough to knock his officers hat off.
"BARLEY! GET YOUR BUTT BACK IN THIS CAR!" Dison yelled at Barley, his tone was deadly. Barley didn't listen, he moved a bit and then jumped up a few inches, his stomach now on the roof of the car, shifting around and found himself sliding down the windshield of the car.
"Dammit Barley..." Dison growled, Dison had half a mind to stomp on the breaks and send his partner flying, but, he knew that Barley must of had some sort of reason for this. Dison bit his lip as Barley stood up on the hood of the car, almost falling. Then, everything made sense when his partner reached over and put his hands on the back of the moving truck.
Taking a deep breath, he, Dison, stepped down on the gas even more, if that was even possible, he wanted to make sure he was close enough to the back of the truck for his partner. Then, all at once, Barley jumped into the back of the truck, obviously, Carmin, the one driving the getaway vehicle, did not like that. All it took was for Dison to see that pistol poke out of the drivers side of the truck and he was on it. Before Carmin could even shoot, Dison did, keeping one hand on the steering wheel. He hit Carmin's hand and the gun went flying out of the young man's hand.
Tossing his gun to the side, Dison went back to driving. He could see the main road, he didn't like it.
"Hurry up, Barley..." He muttered to himself. He saw Barley stand up, the little girl in his arms, Sherman had popped up as well, but looked scared stiff, he was just awkwardly standing there in the back of the truck as the officer hopped from the truck back to the hood of the squad car. His partner was quick getting Penny through the window of the car, Dison helped as well, gently placing the girl down in the seat next to him. The girl was shaking, but both Dison and Barley snapped out of it when they heard Sherman cry out.
They saw Carmin trying to pull the small boy through the back window of the truck. His arm wrapped around Sherman's neck, trying to pull him, Barley reacted quickly running towards the edge of the squad car, Dison could hear Sherman yell.
"Help me! Please!" The young boy screamed as he reached out to the pudgy officer. Dison looked at Penny.
"Buckle up." He ordered her and pushed the car even harder. The engine revved. Barley reached over and managed to grab Sherman's small hand, now it was a deadly game of tug o' war. Dison saw the intersection not even a full minute away, he saw a truck coming their way, a semi-truck, those don't stop easily. Carmin looked up and saw the truck as well, in his moment of distraction, Sherman saw his moment and bit down on Carmin's arm, it caused a cry of alarm and Carmin let go of Sherman.
Barley pulled Sherman towards him, Then, sensing the danger, Barley leaped off the side of the car with Sherman. Dison stomped on the breaks, the tires squealing, he heard Penny gasp out. The car stopped so suddenly that both of them lurched forward a bit.
Unfortunately, The truck in front of them did not stop in time, the semi plowed though them.
For a few seconds neither Dison nor Penny moved, they both sat there breathing heavily. Finally, Dison unbuckled his seatbelt.
"S-Stay here." He told her and got out of the cop car, shutting the door behind him, other officers had already arrived on the scene, equally stunned.
"Barley!" Dison yelled out, remembering his partner and Sherman, they had to of fallen in a ditch when Barley jumped. He walked along the road, searching frantically.
"Dison..." Came Barley's soft voice, it caused the younger man to whip his head towards his partner's voice. Barley was walking out of a ditch, an unconscious Sherman in his arms. Both of them had scratches on their faces, Barley had a noticeable gash on the top of his head.
"You moron." Dison growled, slapping Barley up top the head. He then proceeded to berate the elder officer. "You could of gotten yourself killed! You could of killed Sherman! Do you know how dangerous that was?!" Dison turned red in the face from his rage. Once he finished and huffed he looked at Barley, the man's mustache twitched a bit.
"Feel better?" Barley asked him and Dison just slapped Barley upside the head again.
"Now I do. C'mon, the ambulance is here." Dison muttered as they walked towards the ambulance. "So, that kid is alright? Right?" Dison asked looking at Sherman, he noticed that the kid's glasses seemed to of fallen off.
"He should be fine, after all, he landed on me when we fell, but I think somewhere along the line he hit his head. I tried my best to shield him from the impact of the fall, but, there was nothing I could do when we started rolling." Barley explained, rolling would explain the nicks and cuts on them.
"And the gash on your head?"
"Oh, I miscalculated the jump, hit my head on the road before we landed in the grass and started rolling."
"Sherman!" It was Peabody, no surprise there. Dison went to hold the dog back.
"Don't. Here take him to the ambulance..." Barley said, handing the unconscious Sherman to his father. Dison watched as the dog turned and did as he was told.
"Strong dog." Dison muttered and turned to Barley who was already walking towards the wreck. They walked in silence, the only sound coming from them was the sound of glass crunching under their feet. Dison instantly cringed when he saw the truck, or, what was left of the truck.
It was a jumbled metal mess, flipped upside down, all glass from the truck was broken. Barley shook his head.
"No way in hell did those two survive." Barley muttered softly as he turned around and walked back towards the ambulance, Dison knew that Barley was right, not because the truck was a mess, but, because their bodies where laying underneath two cop jackets just a yard in front of them. Dison could only shake his head.
"Stupid, stupid people..."
Whew, don't worry, the next chapter will center around Peabody and Sherman and a few characters are coming back as well haha, I think there will be only one chapter left after this one...
