//------------------------------// // Plan B // Story: The CMC's Adventures in Radiator Springs // by Timelordderpy //------------------------------// “Wow for a world famous racer that was a real dirty move.” Harper Ross commented “But he does have a point.” Jamie Harris added “Put yourself in their shoes. You’re a child who just witnessed a murder and now a bunch of strangers are trying to take you away from the only family you’ve ever known. How would you react?” A moment of silence before Bettie answered “I’d be terrified out of my mind.” “Exactly.” Jamie added “So what are we supposed to do now?” Noah Fletcher asked “We can’t just leave those kids there without any protection.” “Well Mr. Hudson did suggest an alternative.” Morgan reminded his team “Right.” Tyler O’neil remembered “An undercover cop.” “It could work.” Eddie Gray spoke Morgan sighed “Ok. But who should it be?” “I know someone who will help.” Tyler offered “Who?” Morgan asked “Her name is Eli Hunter, of the FBI.” … A young woman stepped into the precinct, she had short red hair, a red button T-shirt, blue jeans and black boots. “Hello. My name is Eli Hunter, I’m here to see Tyler O’Neil.” Eli spoke “Eli!” Tyler shouted and ran up to hug her friend “Tyler! It’s been a while! I’ve missed you!” Eli hugged her friend back “But seriously, we need to hangout more when it doesn’t involve work.” She let go and Tyler led to the debriefing room “So what is it you need me for?” “Undercover witness protection.” Tyler replied “Alright so what’s the reason for not putting them in the usual witness protection program?” Eli asked as they stepped into the room “Because the children’s guardians refuse to let us take them.” Morgan replied “All right so who are the ones needing protection?” Eli sat down “Jamie is getting the files right now.” Morgan walked around to the other side of the table as Jamie walked in with a rather confused look on his face “Jamie? What’s wrong?” “We have a problem.” and he brought them to his computer “I cannot find even a mention of either of these three girls anywhere in any system.” “What do you mean?” Morgan asked confused “Neither Lightning McQueen’s nor Ramone’s records shows any mention or birth records of a younger sister, and there are no adoption records for an ‘Applebloom.” Jamie turned to his chief “Sir. These girls do not exist.” ... “Bastard!” Morgan cursed “Morgan, you want me to protect them during this case right?” Eli asked “Correct.” “Well, perhaps I can also look into these girls mysterious appearance.” “Our main goal is protecting these girls while finding the murder/kidnapper.” Morgan thought for a moment “Something weird is going on in that town...Alright Eli, along with protecting those girls see what you can find out about where they came from and who they are.” “You got it.” … Back in Radiator Springs Sweetie Belle is sitting in Fillmore’s garden playing with Bulk, Applebloom is helping Sarge clean up his shop, Scootaloo is with both Lightning and Doc in Willy’s Butte. Lightning is sitting in his race car with Scootaloo sitting on his lap, he was showing her all the different parts of a race car and how it differs compared to a normal car. “Now normal car engines are tuned for more relaxed and comfortable rides, while a race engine has to be durable enough to last the entire duration of the race. Basic race car engines are not that much different from those of street cars. However they are much larger with custom-made engine blocks. They use V8 engines that regularly generate a horsepower rating of 800 or more. 37% of passenger cars today run on a 4-cylinder engine, they are the most of any engine type. While there are several factors that play a role in generating horsepower, an average 4-cylinder vehicle produces around 200 hp and accounts for 54.2% of all new vehicles sold. Meaning a race engine is about four times more powerful than the one in a street car.” Lightning explained Doc was sitting on a small blanket on the ground reading a book while glancing up a few times, there was a cough from behind and he turned around to see detective Morgan standing behind him with Eli next to him. Doc closed his book and stood up “Hello detective, and how are things going for you.” he shook Morgan’s hand with a sly grin on his face. Morgan gave him an unamused part angry look. “Congratulation Mr. Hudson you got your wish. This is Eli Hunter of the FBI, but you will call her Lela Wade an intern living here during the course of her internship. She is here to learn all the ins and outs of racing. You are her teacher/caregiver while staying here.” Morgan explained “Ok, now what will she really be doing?” Doc asked. “Since most of these towns folk are a part of your pit crew I can casually walk around, talk with people including the girls without looking suspicious. Everyone will assume I’m talking with them about their jobs on the team.” Eli(now Lela) explained “I will be keeping a close eye on the girls and report any suspicious people who approach them.” she slightly shook the glasses she was wearing “My glasses have a small camera built in, to where I tap the top and it snaps a picture. Each day I’ll send the pictures of every suspicious man or woman that approaches one or all three girls.” … While inside Doc’s home, Doc, Morgan and Lela were sitting with the girls, Bulk, Lightning, Ramone, and Sarge. The girls were sitting on the floor with Bulk sitting in front of Sweetie Belle his full attention on Lela. “I get the feeling he doesn’t trust me.” Lela spoke with a smile “I’m sorry,” Sweetie Belle apologized holding Rarity as she patted Bulk’s head to where he laid across her lap, licking her chin before resting his head on the floor. “He’s gotten really protective lately.” she began petting his head with one hand the other that held the doll rested across his back. “Good. That means he takes his job seriously.” Lela winked at her and Sweetie Belle smiled hugging Bulk before going back to her previous position, with her pup’s tail wagging. “Now everyone understands how this works?” Morgan asked standing up as he was ready to leave, he had just finished explaining Lela’s position in town minus searching for evidence as to where the girls came from. Everyone answered ‘yes’ Morgan talked with Doc a bit more before leaving.
