Sally was still knocked out. Black smoke surrounded her like a fence. Slowly, sparks fell on the rug. Sparks that could kill someone if they weren't awake and no alarm.

Meanwhile, McQueen was endlessly walking around the town. He sniffed the air.

"Hey guys, do you smell something?" McQueen asked.

"No not really but it could be Finn," Mater joked. Finn sniffed his armpits in reaction. Then Finn caught on. Finn then sniffed the air.

"Now you mention it, it does smell a bit," Finn replied.

"Of what? BIO?" Holley laughed.

"No Shiftwell but very funny. It smells of smoke. And no-one is smoking. Strange," Finn corrected blushing. There was a massive gate in front of them. It blocked out the rest of the world. A mansion was hidden behind it.

"This is Chick's place alright. I came here when all the racers had to meet at the biggest house. Which was Chick's. Sally could be in there!" McQueen explained. "How do we get in? It's not like he will open the gate, I'm not friends with him no more!" Holley suddenly had a "light-bulb!" like moment. She grabbed the gadget bag off Finn and raked through it.

"Holley, what on Earth are you doing?" Finn asked confused.

"Finding the prototype gadgets you were working on," Holley replied.

"What? The grappler hook; and the pen that makes you invisible? Holley! They weren't even finished! That's why they are called PROTOTYPES!" Finn yelled.

"They were the first gadgets I grabbed and this could be the time to work with them," Holley persuaded. Finn sighed.

"Fine! Pass me the pen," Finn sighed. Holley passed the pen to Finn. He grabbed Mater's arm and drew the pen mark on him. Slowly, he started to vanish.

"Hehe, dadgum, I'm invisible!" Mater laughed.

"Now Mater climb over and try to get in and once you are in, radio us from the outside. Got it?" Holley asked.

"Got it Holley!" Mater smiled. Holley felt a kiss on her cheek and blushed.

The flames were now dancing around the room like elegant ballet dancers. Chick was nowhere to be found. Sally's eyes opened slowly. She saw the flames. She dragged herself to the door and she discovered it was locked.

"Help!" Sally screamed. "ANYONE! HELP ME!" She punched the door and failed. She spied her phone on the mattress. She grabbed it and dialled.

"Hello?" the male voice said. Sally hesitated to go on.

"Stickers, I don't think I'm coming home," Sally explained.

"Why; where are you? I'm outside Chick's house, Mater's finding you. He can save you," McQueen replied desperately.

"In the basement. Hurry! The doors locked and I can't bang down the door!" Sally said watching the fire creeping up on her. "Stickers, I..." the line went dead. Sally felt woozy suddenly and her vision went blurry and allowed her body to pass out.

"Mater, Sally is in the basement. Can you find her?" McQueen radioed.

"Don't worry bud. I'm at the basement," Mater replied.

"Barge the door open and find her," Holley commanded. Mater banged open the door in one go (with his weight he would). He saw the flames.

"Miss Sally!" Mater called out. Black smoke was really creeping up on them now. He looked behind the door and saw the beautiful woman lay there still. It was Sally. She had black ash all over her. Mater picked her up and carried her out.

But this was Chick's house. It was 5 stories high. He had started a fire on each floor. The fire had been burning for ages now.

"How are we gonna get out of here now!" Mater complained. He spied a window and looked down. "GUYS! UP HERE!" Mater yelled out the window. "We're trapped! There's a fire on every floor!" Holley looked around on the ground for something for Mater to land on. Nothing.

"Jump! Jump into the pond!" Holley yelled. Mater gulped. He clutched Sally close to him. He stood off the ledge and looked down. Suddenly, an explosion sounded from behind him, blasting him forward.

"MATER! SALLY!" Everyone screamed. Mater had let go of Sally as he fell through the air. Sally landed in the pond as planned but Mater didn't. He landed on Chick's car. McQueen ran over to Sally and hauled her out of the water. She started coughing and spluttering. At least she was alive. McQueen placed her own on the floor. They kept eye contact as McQueen placed his lips on Sally's.

"You're alive...What did he do to you?" McQueen asked when they finally broke apart. He looked into Sally's eyes.

"He beat me up, he cut my hair and try to set fire to the house," Sally cried.

"Why?" Finn asked.

"Promise you won't get mad, Stickers?" Sally asked. McQueen nodded...

Sorry if this is rushed! Xx
