Sally kept repeating positive memories in her mind all the way home. She couldn't get rid of that sinking sick feeling in her stomach. It wasn't like there wouldn't any drama anymore but Mater was the spirit of life in the town. He would always be up to mischief like a 5 year old. Sally closed her eyes and sighed. She had forgotten they were nearly home.

"What if Mater's not ok?" Sally said in a hushed voice loud enough to just about to hear. Lightning looked sadly in her direction before looking back onto the road.

"He will be. It's Mater," Lightning said determinedly. He revved up the car and continued home.

It was night-time when Sally and Lightning arrived back home in Radiator Springs. Everyone was leaving Flo's to go back to their homes. Holley could be seen crying in the cafe window seat. Sally watched her as she felt guilt for Mater. After all, he was the one who saved her from Chick's house fire. Sally felt her stomach knot and flip over numerous times in a minute as she stepped out the car.

"Maybe we should see him in the morning?" Lightning suggested helping Sally with her bags. Sally nodded half heartedly. She desperately wanted to see Mater though. She watched as someone run out of the hospital and over to Flo's. The figure walked up to Holley and guided her to the Hospital. Sally dismissed it and took a bag from Lightning and walked inside her house.

Her house didn't seem familiar anymore. Empty corridors with empty memories. She turned the lights on and all those demons trying to get her disappeared. She felt safe for a moment.

She walked into her room and changed into her pyjamas. Lightning walked into the room a few minutes later in a tracksuit and vest top. Sally walked over and hugged him and cried. She didn't like crying in front of him but she couldn't help it. She didn't like when she was weak either. When Lightning's big strong arms were by her she felt safe and sound. They broke the embrace and looked at each other.

"I hope Mater is ok," Sally whispered.

"Same. Night Sal," Lightning replied kissing Sally's cheek and climbed into his side of the bed and turned out the light.

It was 3 in the morning when Sally awoke from a fitful night. She looked over at Lightning who was sound asleep with no sign of waking up soon. The health of Mater was on her mind and wouldn't leave her alone. Sally put on her hoodie over her PJ top and some trainers on and slipped out the house. She put her hands in the pockets of her PJ bottoms and walked over to the hospital.

She peered in the window and saw Holley asleep on the seats and Finn next to her looking over her. Sally walked into the lobby and felt an awkward atmosphere. Finn looked at Sally in shock.

"Sally! Where were you! We were worried sick about you!" Finn hissed giving her a friendly hug her keeping a low voice because Holley was still asleep.

"I had to see someone really important to me. How's Mater and do they know who done it?" Sally asked returning the hug. Finn looked uneasy at this question.

"Well I don't think you would want to know," Finn replied letting go of Sally looking away.

"No tell me please! I can't sleep without knowing he is safe!" Sally hissed begging.

"I don't think you'll like it! You won't accept the truth," Finn argued suddenly.

"Yes I will! Mater is my friend, Holley's boyfriend and my fiancée's best friend! What does he mean to you?" Sally replied with equal tone.

"A valuable spy. These things happen all the time at C.H.R.O.M.E but he is my friend," Finn explained. Sally was shocked.

"Is he just another spy in C.H.R.O.M.E? Wake up Finn. He means so much more than a spy to Holley," Sally snapped. "More than anything to all of us. Except you Finn." And with that, Sally walked in the room with Finn trying to hold her back.

"Sally! Listen to me! You can't go in there! They won't let you!"

"Who?"

"Everyone, they don't want you to see Mater okay? You've had enough shakes and we are trying to catch the criminal and we don't want you to more hurt!" Finn yelled shaking her shoulders at arm's length. Sally looked into Finn's eyes knowing how much he was right. Sally felt her heart break knowing something tragic had happened. She felt tears streaming down her face and ran out of the lobby.

She sank down the wall crying.

"It's my entire fault. If I never went none of this would have happened. I can't stop it," she wept. "I wish I could stop it...But I can't. Mater...please don't die..."
