Archived La Vie de Luxe - Oh Canada!

[Vic]

"Yer seein this?" Vic asked his passenger, "That Canadian or what? What kinda guy would follow another guy down a different route just to give a Good Samaritan signal?"

 

[Narrator]

[Kyzano]

Dragon glanced in the rearview mirror and smirked a touch at what Vic said. "Not likely, there are few humans awake at this hour who would do so, though I've seen a few Canadians do it before. But it's odd... I hear and smell nothing wrong with the car Vic. Nothing's changed since we got in here." Her eyes flicked over to the rearview mirror again. "Why would he be signaling if your car is fine?"

 

[Narrator]

[Hobbes]

Hobbes stopped flashing the Buick. Leaning on the horn, he grinned as the K-Car squeaked out a series of friendly beeps.

"Come on, Mr. Fumagalli. I won't be deterred. There is an imminent danger of which you must be warned." Hobbes laughed, a manic grin splitting through his sulking features.

"Quoi? Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit? What? What did you say?" Officer Laurent asked, leaning away from the ACME agent with a nervous grimace.

 

[Nina West]

Nina docked her communicator on a little plastic thing on her dashboard and followed the dot marked "Hobbes". Noticing they took a turn down another highway, Nina called highway patrol to see if they could get a night vision shot of the driver and passenger in the Buick.

While waiting for the picture, she decided to cut them off at an intersection. There, she saw the Buick pass by first, not too fast at about 50 mph, then Hobbe's blinking his lights right after. Nothing looked dangerous yet.

A few seconds later, two images showed up. One was Vic the Slick and an unidentified VILE agent. Next was of Hobbes and a passenger, a crazy grin on the driver's face. Agent West made a note to ask about the grin... later. Here goes, Nin thought to herself and sped up.

"Agent Hobbes," Nina said to her communicator, "I'm right behind you, driver of the Buick has been identified as Vic the Slick, positive!"

 

[Vic]

Vic cursed a little, seeing another car turn off the intersection and following them. That's cop maneuver, no bones about it.

"We've been nice, Tike," time to shake them off. It didn't matter if there was something wrong with the car and that Canadian with the blinking headlights was right. They were ditching this piece of junk anyway. Vic hit the gas.

 

[Narrator]

[Dragon]
Dragon growled sharply at the sound of the horn. She was ready to take matters into her own hands. Then Vic sped up. She forced herself to relax a little.

"Let's just get this over with... I'm ready to throw one of these things at them." She muttered, oh she wanted too. But she wouldn't kill them. Scare them a bit maybe, make them go away maybe, but not kill them.

 

[Nina West]

Nina saw the Buick speed up and decided to take matters into her own hands. She moved her car in front of Vic's and slowed down. This was the first and easiest move to try get another car to stop.

 

[Vic]

"Ah haa!" Vic laughed, "Look at that, not this time, coppers!"

He steered from side to side, but couldn't get through. Dang fancy electric cars!

"Hey you got any ideas?" he asked the passenger.

 

[Narrator]

[Kyzano]

That was IT! Dragon was tired of being in a car and pissed off at the people interfering with her night.

"Yes."

Unbuckling, she opened the door partway and stood up, grabbing one of the explosives from around her waist. Pulling the pin she poised her arm to throw... focusing on the grenade in her hand rather then everything else Dragon counted down the seconds and then threw it towards the car in front of them.

The grenade never made it to the car, but rather exploded in the air above it, making one hell of a bang and some smoke, but not actually injuring the car or the person inside. These people had pissed Dragon off, but that did not warrant death.

 

[Nina West]

"Holly effin Golightly!" Nina exclaimed, ducking a bit even though she didn't have to. This caused her car to shift to the side, while she tried to figure out what just happened.

 

[Vic]

Kid's got some firepower! Vic smiled, "good job!"

He laughed as they sped past Nina's car. Take that ACME. Knowing they weren't in the clear, Vic planned a new route in his head.

 

[Narrator]

[Kyzano]
Nodding with a growled grunt, she swung back into the car closing the door and buckling up. "Thanks." Dragon had five grenades left. She'd use as many as it took to get away though. Like Hell she was getting caught on this mission.
