Dash, Sven, and Damian rolled to the end of the hall and hid behind a corner once more. Dash peered over to witness a massive room - a warehouse of sorts. There had to be at least 30 cars in there.
"Exit's just outta here." Sven gestured.
"You were right. That is a lot of lemons." Dash sniggered.
"Hey, those are our kind you're talking about here." Damian barked.
"...still lemons," Dash repeated.
"Hey!" Damian barked.
"What are they even doing in there?" Dash asked.
"None of your business." Sven denied.
"Okay, duly noted - not that I care. Any plans on how we can get through undetected?" Dash asked.
"We can't get through there, Boltarius." Sven shook his hood.
"Now I know you're lying. Suggestions... NOW!" Dash barked.
"We ain't saying nothin'!" Damian denied.
"NOW!!" Dash exclaimed.
"Alright! You can use the tech to get across undetected!!" Damian told.
"Idiot! Don't tell him about the tech!" Sven barked.
"Tech, eh? What's this 'tech' you speak of?" Dash asked.
"Now look what you've started." Sven shook his hood.
"Nanotechnology. Finn McMissile pioneered the movement way back in the '80s." Damian elaborated.
"Did he now?" Dash asked.
"You didn't know that?" Damian asked.
"Oh, I definitely knew that." Dash nodded.
"I hate you, Damian." Sven cursed.
"Oh, tough words coming from a lemon." Damian mocked.
"You are too!" Sven echoed.
"Hey! Quiet, you two. I do the threatening around here!" Dash threatened.
"Oi! Who's over there?!" a guard called out.
"Oops, looks like you didn't think this through, racer." Sven mocked.
"Well, you two could play along now..." Dash hinted.
"We're not doing that." Sven denied.
"Oh? Wasn't there a car compactor in the room you kept me in before?" Dash remembered.
"What?! You wouldn't..." Sven shook his hood.
"Well, would you rat me out?" Dash questioned.
"Yes!!" Sven and Damian barked.
"Off we go to the compactor, then!" Dash reckoned, turning around.
"No, no, no! Okay, we'll cover you!!" Sven and Damian barked.
"Perfect," Dash said, turning back the other way.
Dash, Sven, and Damian rolled up to meet with the guard in the middle of the hallway.
"Sven? Damian? What are you two lemons doing?" the guard rolled up.
"Oh, we're just showing the prisoner 'round." Sven excused.
"Get him used to the grey walls 'round here!" Damian echoed.
"Help me, please!" Dash plead.
"...and you two have chains attached to yourselves." the guard noted.
