//------------------------------// // Witness Protection: Witnesses // Story: The CMC's Adventures in Radiator Springs // by Timelordderpy //------------------------------// The girls explored the rest of the pits talking to other racers, getting a few autographs and pictures. It didn’t take long until the speakers rang out ATTENTION EVERYONE! 15 MINUTES UNTIL THE GARAGES AND PIT ROWS WILL BE CLOSING. PLEASE GATHER UP ALL YOUR BELONGING AND HEAD TO THE NEAREST EXIT. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ACCOMPANIED RACERS SHOULD START HEADING BACK TO THE TENTS AS OF NOW. Applebloom turned back to her friends “Y’all heard em girls. Let’s get a move on.” “But Applebloom I have to pee.” Sweetie Belle raised her hand twisting a little in her spot. Scootaloo groaned glaring at her with an annoyed expression. “Ugh! Seriously Sweetie Belle! You wait till now to tell us!” Applebloom signed “Alrighty girls let’s go find a restroom.” … “Ya almost finished in there Sweetie Belle!” Applebloom shouted behind the closed door “Yes!” Seconds later the door to the restrooms opened and Sweetie Belle stepped out “Alrighty Let’s get go’in!” The girls headed back to the tents- BANG! All of a sudden they heard a long bang. “What in tarnation was that!” Applebloom turned to the direction of the sound and before she could say anything Scootaloo was already running towards it. “Come on girls let’s go check it out!” “Scootaloo! Get back ‘ere!” Applebloom and Sweetie Belle ran after her. They stopped behind a corner and Applebloom was about to say something when Scootaloo put a hand over her mouth without even looking at her. She had a look of horror in her eyes and they turned to what she was staring at as soon as they saw it both froze. Right in front of them was the same guy that Scootaloo ran into when they first arrived. But that wasn’t what had them frozen in fear..it was the bloody body lying ground in front of him. Sweetie Belle was so terrified she let out a high volumed scream. The guy turned to their direction and girls took off immediately heading straight to Lightning’s tent. … “Did you guys here that!” Lightning turned away from the others when he heard the sound. Sarge was standing next to him “It sounded like a gun…” Doc had a look of horror on his face “Where are the girls!” As if on cue the girls came running towards them screaming. They all jumped into the guys’ arms, all crying clearly terrified by something. Doc patted Sweetie Belle’s back trying to calm her done. “Hey Hey. It’s ok girls calm down and tell us what happened.” She didn’t say anything behind her tears and Doc can feel her shaking. He looked over to Sarge and then Lightning both with looks of worry and neither of the girls were saying anything. “Golly! What’s got ‘em all shaken up?” Tex was behind Doc watching the girl with concern. Strip never took his hands off Cal since they heard the loud bang. “You think it might have something to do with that gun shot we just heard?” They all stared at the girls in horror and Lightning’s hold on Scootaloo tighten when a frightening thought occurred to him “...D-Doc…” He couldn’t get the words out. But there was a security guard next them the whole time. He turned suspiciously to the direction the girls came from and gripped his gun slightly in his hand. He told everyone to stay put and slowly headed for the tents. Once he got to the corner he stood in shock and picked up his walky “I’m gonna need the police here. Immediately!”
