"Come on, come on, COME ON!" Josh screamed in frustration as the two-wheeled motorbike coughed and stalled, slowly rolling to a stop. He twisted open the fuel cap and growled at the empty tank.

"Fuck!"

Shannon and Christian pulled up beside him, and without a word, Josh climbed into the back seat. Before he'd gotten the door closed, Shannon floored the accelerator, speeding off once again.

"Wheee-oooh!" Jay screamed happily, racing down a random driveway as the property's owner stared in disbelief at the insane girl and her policewoman hostage. "Help!" Stella cried for the first time; finally seeing someone that might be able to offer some assistance.

"Nah!" Jay flew past the farmer, and down a track that lead towards the homestead.

"Okay, Senior Constable, we're going to lift you up on three. One, two three." Two ambulance drivers picked up Michael and unceremoniously set him down on the cart inside the van.

"Ughhhh..."

"I'll go with him." Kerry climbed into the ambulance, and pointed at Lawson. "And if you don't call me in an hour with results, your head is mine on a platter."

Lawson gulped and nodded.

"Down there!" Christian pointed out the bike and Stella, racing down a dirt track.

"On it!" Shannon hit the brakes, nearly putting Josh into the front seat with Christian, and ripped TR2 into a tight turn, managing to make the driveway without ending up in the table drain.

"Shan, take it easy-"

"Shut up, Josh!"

"YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS, WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY!" Jay continued to scream as she rode the track. Stella was struggling with herself, trying not to just burst into tears and start screaming, not to jump off the bike and take her chances with the ground.
"Come on Stella, sing with me! CAUSE IT'S A BITTERSWEET, SYMPHONY, THIS LIIIIIIFE!"

Jay held her head up, eyes closed as she sang to the wind. The bike swerved, causing Stella to scream and Jay to snap her eyes open.

She was riding directly towards an electrical farm tape that was stretched across the track.

"Shannon! Stop!"

"FINE!" She slammed the brakes, again near;y putting Josh into the front seat with Christian. "What?"

"Watch..." He pointed.

"Not again..." Jay frowned. Then the bike hit the tape, causing the tape to snap backwards and catch her in the neck.

For a moment, Stella saw the world stand still, then come crashing back down very quickly. Jay was flung off the bike, knocking Stella off. As Jay crumpled on the hard dirt track, Stella stood up and finally caught sight of TR2.

"Offender is down!" Josh screaming through the comms reached Kerry, and she silently released a breath she didn't even know she was holding.
"Lawson! We move out!"
'Stella...' Without warning, Shannon started TR2 and floored the 'damn car'.

Three Weeks Later

"Pass the chips?"
"Sure." Stella threw the corn chips at Josh, and quickly followed with a jar of salsa. He easily caught both items, and put them in the basket.
"How'd you know Shan was such a big nacho eater?"
Josh chuckled. "Try going into a restaurant with her and having to leave caught she asked for 'em."
"You serious?"
"Dead serious." He picked up a six-pack of cider. Stella nodded.
"Paper?"
"Yeah, why not."

"And in other news, a violent offender responsible for the kidnapping of a police officer was sentenced today.
"Jay Black, 19, was charged after the near-fatal abduction of Stella Dagostino almost a month ago."
"Enough." Stella reached over and flicked the radio off.
"I know." Shannon reached over and took her girlfriend's hand. "Thanks for the nachos."
As rain pelted across the city, Stella stole the last corn chip and grinned.
"Thanks for being... you."
