"So, uh, are you sure you're qualified to be taking care of that baby?" Stu asks as he looks over at the little guys

"what? I've found a baby before." Alan says calmly as if it was normal.

"you found a baby before?" You raised your eyebrows

"yeah." Alan nods

"where?" Stu questions as he turns his body to Alan, a stern look on his face

"coffee bean."

"....wait, what?"

"hey, Phil? I don't think Doug would want us to take the Mercedes." Alan quickly changes the subject as Stu gives you a look.

"relax, we'll be careful." Phil brushes it off.

"my dad is crazy about that car. He left Doug in charge..." Alan went on.

"Alan. We got bigger problems here. Doug could be in the hospital, he could be hurt."

"let's worry about the car later."

"uh, guys? Check it out." Stu was looking over everyone's head. You all followed his gaze to see construction workers try to take a broken mattress off a statue.

"is that the mattress from Doug's room?" Alan asks, jaw on the floor

"what the fuck?"

"hey, man, what's going on here?" Phil walks over, grabbing the attention of one of the valets packing up the trunk of a car.

"some asshole threw his bed out the window last night."

"no shit."

"yeah. Some guys just can't handle Vegas." The man closes the car door and walks away after having a good look at the 4 of you.

"ha-ha." Stu mocks.

"it's gonna be okay, Stu." Phil calms down the glasses wearing man.

"how the hell did we manage that?" You furrow your eyebrows as you watch the guys take it off the statue.

"here's your car, officers." The valet kid stops the car in front of us, patting he roof.

"oh, god." Stu closes his eyes.

"all right, everybody act cool. All right, don't say a word." Phil brings hand to his mouth as he whispers to all of you. "come on, let's just get in and go. "come on.

"Stu, you got a five?" Phil looks over at Stu.

"no." Stu shakes his head.

"I'll hit you on the way back.

"thank you, sir." The valet man steps back from the car. You heard a thud noise as you climb in shot gun and you turned to see the baby crying, Alan looking down and Stu panicking.


Traffic was here for as long as the eye could see. You were shut in the shotgun seat of a police car while Stu started to complain.

"This is so illegal." He shook his head.

"Can't you see the fun part in anything?" Phil answered him back as he takes a drink from his coffee cup.

"Yeah, we're stuck in traffic in a stolen police with what is sure to be a missing child sitting next to me. Which part of this is fun?" Stu said, pointing to the baby with tears on its face.

"I think the cop-car part's pretty cool." Alan says, forming a line with his mouth and nodding his head.

"Thank you, Alan. It is cool." Phil says as you look at the traffic ahead. "Doug would love it!" Phil beeped the car. "Come on!"
