Hal Needham is the director of the Cannonball Run films. So he is the guy that owns it. I own only the original characters. No money is being made from this so enjoy.

Chapter 4: Something has gone horribly wrong

Melissa was driving the Fusion, until she saw the police lights in the distance. She headed for them and stopped suddenly when the Fusion arrived. Awaking Tim in the passenger's seat and Jarod in the back.

"What is going on? Why did you stop?" a groggy Tim asked. Tim yawns and streches as best he can.

"Look." Melissa pointed to the police cruiser in front of them.

"Let's check it out."

All three got out of the Fusion and saw the the officer on the ground in pain. The officer was holding his shoulder, which was bleeding.

"Are you alright officer?" Jarod asked.

"Who are you?" the officer replied.

"I'm Jarod Cunningham, with the DEA."

"What is the DEA doing here?"

"Well these two beside me and I are undercover in the Cannonball Run. We're trying to capture Danny Cruger."

"Well he was just here." the officer sat up and leaned against his car, until a ambulence and his fellow officers arrived.

"He was here?"

"Yeah he was here. He was the one who shot me."

"You're lucky he shot you on the shoulder." Melissa said examing the gunshot. "Any closer to your chest, you would've been a goner."

"I found the bullet!" Tim exclaimed. Jarod and Melissa walked over to Tim, who was staring at a armor piercing bullet. "It look like the bullet went right through his shoulder blade."

"Danny has armor piercing bullets." Jarod said.

"We better notify the other racers about this." Tim said heading back to the Fusion.

Billy was waiting for a red light to turn green. While he was there a man with a boot in his hand walked up.

"Money to save the planet?" the man said. Billy took off his sunglasses.

"This is a Tag Day? Well as long as this money doesn't go to that hypocrite Al Gore. You do know that Al Gore has a house that releases carbons into the air and Bush's ranch is run on geothermal energy, right?"

"Yes sir. We're the Republicans Against Eco-Hypocrites Foundation."

Billy put in a hundred dollars from his wallet. Then drove off when the light turned green. The man grins evilly.

"Sucker..." the man takes his boot full of money to his friends. "Hey guys we have enough to buy a Playstation 3!"

The ambulence ended up being pulled over by a woman whose husband was having a heart attack. So they turned on the sirens and lights and raced to the nearest hospital.

"Well here you go." Dominic said to the doctors that took the man and his wife inside. As the Ambulence left the hospital, a doctor noticed out of state license plates.

"That wasn't one of our ambulences!" he cried. "Someone call the police!"

Amanda and Sandra were in the midst of being arrested by the highway patrol and Jack Johnson.

"We're going to let it end like this?" Sandra asked her best friend. "We're going to get arrested and be dishonorbly discharged?"

"Nope..." Amanda then started the engine and put the Hummer in reverse. Despite the warning from the cop not too. " Let's get out of here!"

The Hummer drove up onto the squad car, with Jack in the passenger's seat. The Hummer literally drove onto the car and destroyed the front end and windshield. As well as scarring the living bejesus out of the lawyer. Then the Hummer drove away.

"I... need a change of underwear..." Jack said, to the cop's disgust and dismay.

The police, U.S. Marshal Services, FBI, Monte Carlo, STR4, Limo and 300C chased the Mustang through Las Vegas. It seems Tim's message got to the Cannonballers and Jarod's message got to the police. However the Mustang had a advantage over the other vehicles, in the form of nitrous oxide boosters. Making it difficult to catch them. One has to wonder where is Team Japan's Eclipse?

Oh wait it tried to head them off at the pass. However the Mustang swerved out of the way, when the Eclipse pulled out. Leaving Taiki to swear in Japanese.

"Looks like we're going to have to follow them." Jade said.

"No need." Taiki said. "We have to figure out their true destination and then go there."

"What do you mean? Aren't they're going to the finish line in San Fransisco?"

"Doesn't seem like it. If they're carrying drugs. There is only one place they would go." Taiki replied. "I think they may be going to meet the Los Angeles Bloods. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Cruger's teammate wearing red at the time of the pre-race party?"

Jade finally realized at what Taiki was getting at. "Yes he was, that African-American. Let's go tell the others."

Taiki nodded in agreement before getting out of the Eclipse.

---

'Thanks for the update Taiki." Tim said on his cellphone. "I'll inform Jarod."

Tim hangs up and turns to Jarod, who is now driving.

"They failed to catch Cruger and T-Bone. But Taiki believes they're going to meet up with the L.A. Bloods."

"Of course!" Jarod said. "The Bloods must be the clients for the drug sale. Call Taiki back and have him rally the other Cannonballers. Tell them to meet us in Los Angeles. We'll figure out what to do, when we get there."
