gasps and races back to the Fanfiction board to read this sequel <3
You flatter me! Well, I just finsihed typing up the next chapter (which is nice and long and in my opinion exciting) so I can’t wait to post it for ya! Enjoy!
“The City”
“Are ya sure ya don’t want nobody comin’ with ya? I sure wouldn’t mind,” Mater offered after escorting her to Siddeley.
She shook her hood, “I appreciate the gesture Mater, but I’ll be fine on my own. Besides, don’t you have a date with Doreen tonight? I wouldn’t want to ruin that.”
“Shoot, Miss Holley! That ain’t nothin’. Friends come before that kind of stuff.”
Holley smiled at his response. With that mentality it didn’t surprise her that Mater frequently invited himself into McQueen’s dates with Sally.
“Thank you, Mater, but I need to do this myself.”
Mater finally gave up and wished her the best on her mission. Holley hopped into Siddeley who was already prepared to take off. As his wheels lifted from the ground she stared out the window while Mater grew farther and farther away.
Suddenly she gulped with fear. That could have been the last time she would ever see Mater again, or any of the townsfolk for that matter. Struck with the realization of her inner fear, she almost cried out for Siddeley to turn back. She hadn’t told anyone what a risk she was taking traveling on her own and taking control of a rescue mission without clearance from headquarters. Nobody but her knew that she could be driving straight into impending doom. But there she went again…keeping to herself and acting before thinking.
Holley was a goody-four-tires, never one to break the rules. Now here she was going against one of C.H.R.O.M.E.’s top regulations. It was insanely dangerous to call your own shots and even more unsafe to have your whereabouts unknown.
I can’t falter now, I’ve come this far! It’s for Finn…he needs me…dead or alive, she enforced the thought until it was engrained in her mind. There was something lingering though, a burning question; if it were her that had been captured, would he have done the same thing?
It was night when she arrived back in England. Strangely, it almost felt like she had never left in the first place. Not long ago she’d been sitting on this very street after dinner with Finn. In a way, everything was the same. European cars hustled through the cobblestone roads and drove sharply on the roundabouts like they always did. The biting wind whipped strong enough to shake the golden streetlamps and the air hung densely with moisture, always on the verge of raining. Nothing had changed, but something had disappeared.
Roaming the streets with Finn had always felt like an adventure to her. And when things got too hectic he guided the way to a more relaxing atmosphere. Now the city felt cold, empty and hostile towards her. It was a place full of business rush, lacking of any sincerity, for all those fond memories laid not with the city, but with Finn.
She had always called England her home, and technically it was. But her real home was anywhere if it meant she was beside Finn. He’d brought more to her life then just incredible spy knowledge, and she could see that now. All the feelings inside of her weren’t going to go away, and they were heavier than she thought. Perhaps these were the feelings of love, if she dared to venture, true love. She’d never know though, unless she found Finn quick.
With her holograph she mapped out a path to the factory and discreetly slipped into the darkness. It took many back roads and an elongated amount of time to reach the dingy place, but once she did it felt like reaching the peak of Mount Everest.
Hidden high on a hill above, in a cluster of trees, she took a long look at the building. There was no life around for miles and the slate-grey structure stuck out from the foliage like a sore tailpipe. Not a car could be found outside and the way it loomed so silently made it resemble a prison. Boxed in by tall wire fencing, Holley wondered what her easiest means of entrance would be. She would probably be best off cutting the locks and then taking a nearby door into the building.
After successfully breaking into the factory her body started to tense. She’d attached a new gun and donned it readily as she stealthily crawled through the shadow of a long corridor. She had never shot a car point blank before, but there was a good chance this could be the day.
A first for everything, she told herself, trying to make light of the idea.
The sound of low rough voices could be heard from a massive room across the way. Holley froze for a second; unable to distinguish what was being said. The entire building was a maze of rooms but she quickly discovered which one the noise came from.
She angled her mirror to get a view through the window and let out a small gasp. Within the room she could see Finn chained to the floor and booted. A collection of taut wires held him bound to the wall behind him. His eyes drooped to the ground as two midnight black Audis paced in front of him. She had to hear what they were saying! Inching closer to the wall she could hear them exchange conversation.
“For Heaven’s sake, would you shut up already? I told you, we can’t kill him yet, boss wants to do it himself,” a gruff voice barked.
“Well, I’m sick of listening to his wise-guy remarks!” complained a younger voice.
“And I’m sick of hearing yours! We’re going to kill him before the day is through…”
“We’ve waited long enough, what’s the hold up? If boss doesn’t do it soon, I’ll murder him myself,” raged the more juvenile one.
“I told you to shut up! Why do I always get stuck with the stupid rookies? Look, we have to be sure the girl is out of the way first.”
“What girl? I didn’t know he had a girl! You got yourself a pretty little girlfriend McMissile?” he taunted.
Holley stopped breathing while she waited to hear Finn’s voice. Surely they were speaking of her, and he knew it. He didn’t answer.
The deeper voice spoke up, “Yeah, that ditzy Jag he totes around. I gotta admit, you did a good job reeling that fool in.”
“Don’t you dare speak of her that way,” Finn growled, “And I did no such thing as to ‘reel her in’. But if you mean to say that she is romantically attracted to me…then I can only hope that perhaps it is true,” he echoed with a dignified air.
Both Audis laughed raucously and the rougher of the two drew closer to Finn. Sneering with pleasure he said, “Of course it’s true. I hope you enjoyed it too, because that’s exactly what landed you here. Mr.Grafferson gets what he wants, and what he ordered this time was a side of Finn McMissile…Best. Served. Dead.”
Oh yeah! I love the closing of this chapter. Now you know who is behind all this! :smiling_imp: Did I get you good? No seriously, were you surprised at all? Notice how the chapter featuring Duncan was titled "Blinded"? Double meaning!! :sunglasses: I just had to point that out. Anyway, I really hope you liked this one and comments would be awesome! Thanks for reading!Looks great MissCarrera! I’ll be very interested to see what happens in the next chapter. I’m also very interested on how you’ll handle two fan-fictions at once.
So far it isn’t going too bad. This one is alot shorter than my others, and likewise with my other work. It is easier to handle shorter fics.
Great Chapter! That was a great way to reveal who the surprise villain was. This may have been my favorite chapter so far.
You’re favourite so far? Sweet! I’ll have to take a look and see which one is my personal fav…
Like Pixarmilan said, this has to be one of my favorite chapters of all of your fan-fics.
Wow! Awesome stuff! I took a look at the draft and I must say, I’m saving my favourite for chapter 8, that’s the one I like best. 
Next chapter should be up tomorrow!
Alright, I’ll look forward to seeing it tomorrow!
I don’t have much time right now to do my usual detailed review (cough cough Parental in the room and I’m supposed to be doing homework cough cough 
) but OH MY GOSH, IT’S DUNCAN. 
Why is it always the nerds? 
Now, Holley knows Finn has feelings for her too! <3 That is an awesome ending to an awesome chapter, I hope nothing happens to Finn! Go, Holley! Save him, go! 
LOL, I understand. Hahaha! The suspense! Thanks for commenting! 
Great story! I’m reading the sequel of personal affairs too. I really like it, now I hope you can make a fan fiction with love triangle with sally, francesco and lightning soon 
Thanks! I’m currently working on two SalQueen one-shots right now. I won’t forget about your idea though!
Sorry for the double post, next chapter is ready! I apologize for any spelling mistakes, I was kind of rushing on typing this one.
“Helpless”
Mr.Grafferson. Duncan Grafferson. Holley could hardly think straight she was so shocked. The geeky little secretary from headquarters, he was the one behind all this! He’d sworn under oath to never cheat, lie or disclose top secret company material. Yet here he was attempting to kill C.H.R.O.M.E.’s best agent!
It didn’t occur to her that a car could turn their back so easily and create the perfect trap when there was so much information at their disposal. What a joke it must have been that he hadn’t done this sooner! He’d set a trail for them to follow and they had. Covering his tracks mustn’t have been much more difficult either. Obviously he hadn’t forwarded Holley and Finn’s location to headquarters when they’d left for Radiator Springs. Not a single car had a trace to find them. Back up wasn’t going to show up to help her this time. Finn needed a hero and it was going to have to be her.
Watching the guards continue to jeer at him, she drew a fast breath before tearing around the corner. Thrusting herself through the doors, two henchcars reversed suddenly when they heard the doors bang. Finn’s eyes shot open in surprise at the sight of his partner. Holley met his stunned expression for a second then scanned her eyes from one Audi to the other, her gun aimed and ready.
“Release him now or I shoot you both. I’ve got snipers surrounding the place ready to fire at my command,” she lied through clenched teeth.
The two cars exchanged menacing grins as the larger one barked, “Oh, that won’t be necessary, young lady.”
Finn opened his mouth to cry out but the wires connected to him tightened driving him harder into the wall. Holley watched in horror while he grimaced and groaned at the intense pressure, his face contorted with pain and agony.
In a blurring moment she was lunged at by the armed Audis and she felt a familiar sensation grip her body. It was the claustrophobic feeling of multiple tires bracing her from all around. A cluster of cars held her tightly and slowly propelled her backwards. Her gun had been torn off again in the flurry of movement and she was left with no weapons that could aid her at this time. Holley squirmed and wiggled furiously attempting to escape from the tires dragging her towards the darkness of the hallway.
Pinned to the wall Finn watched the scene unfold from afar. Holley’s eyes never strayed from him as she fought against the others and she didn’t make a sound. She looked afraid, so afraid, but not just for herself, but for him. He wanted to run to her and kill every car that held her back with his own bare tires. But there was nothing he could do with his inner mechanics disabled. None of his weapons could function, and not to mention all the gear keeping him stationary. All he had was his eyes to observe her being towed away and struck relentlessly with a steel rod until she lost all consciousness.
Holley woke to the sound of her own screams in a mysterious room. It was lit by a single light bulb and dust particles drifted visibly through the stream of yellow air. A shooting pain rippled out from her undercarriage as the last of her weapons was stripped. When the pain faded to sensitive stinging she struggled to move but found herself immobile, with four chunky parking boots weighing her down and a rope fastened around her body to keep her wings from protracting. Her brain pulsated incessantly for reasons she couldn’t remember but she ignored it to hear the voices hidden in the folds of darkness.
“Ha! Talk about killing two cars with one stone!” someone hissed, by the sounds of it the voice belonged to one of the guards from Finn’s chamber.
“Both? I thought we were only getting rid of McMissile?”
“You idiot, we can’t keep her now! She’s seen too much already. Let’s go tend to the old guy first and then we’ll leave her for boss to deal with.”
“Alright then. You hear that, honey? We’re going to kill your boyfriend, but don’t worry, we’ll be back for you. Don’t move while we’re gone!”
More sinister laughter came from their mouths and she heard the door click closed, followed by blackness. There they went, and with them went Finn’s life. Most likely they were going to summon Duncan who in turn would end his misery before the clock struck a new hour. Holley closed her eyes as a sickening feeling overtook her. She was helpless, and knowing Finn would soon be gone hurt more than her physical wounds.
Why him? Why him? My life is worthless compared to his! If only…if only I could have freed him! Even if I’d died, then at least he’d be alive! She cursed herself and filled her mind with millions of “If I’d” statements. And then there was that image of his eyes while she was being dragged away. Like a tunnel of vision that was all she could see in such a terrorizing moment. She could have sworn there was something in them looking back at her, something she’d never seen in them before. It was like looking into a mirror and seeing every feeling she had for him being reflected back at her. She sank on her tires praying that Duncan would return to take her life as well.
Then from behind her shut windshield she could sense a growing light. Inhaling with hope that this was the end, she opened her eyes slowly. She thought she’d died in her sleep, for what she saw parked in front of her was none other than Finn McMissile.
I'm so excited to get the next chapter up, like I said, chapter eigtht is my personal favourite. I'd love to hear what you thought if this one though! :smiley: Probably won't have an update for this story until Tuesday though, sorry for the wait.Great chapter as always! This Duncan character sounds pretty interesting.
Wonderful Chapter! I really enjoyed it. The Whole Story is building up really well.

Picturing the Audis grabbing Holley, the only thing I could think was, “Umm…OUCH. ” I wonder if they’re going to see Duncan again and hopefully, give him a piece of their minds. Ah ha! I had no doubt Finn would prevail! I’m really excited to see your favorite chapter and what happens next!
I think this fic is even better than Personal Affairs, but the suspense is killing me! Well, maybe not killing me. But the suspense and well-written-ness are certainly keeping me impatient.
I’m really looking forward to the next chapter!
Hehehe! Thanks! I must say, I’m proud of the suspense I created in this one. I like to think it is better than Personal Affairs but I’m not sure yet. Next chapter might be out Wednesday. Sorry for the wait guys, I’m really busy right now.
That’s alright, whenever you’re ready.
