Biker Mice from Mars - Mountain Drift

Chapter 17:The V8 5.0 L Cammer

"Takumi!" Bunta yelled, running forward, as did Hesus. They got up to them as Manuel ran, and started to chase after that van on foot, Hesus stopping him by grabbing Manuel's arm.

"Oh, no you don't!" He shouted. "Where do you think you are going?!"

"Let me go! They're getting away!" Manuel yelled, struggling against his father's grip. "They've got him, we need to go after them!"

"Go after who?" Bunta demanded. "We just chased both of you down through lunch-hour traffic in a cab! Kid, you'd better explain yourself, right now, damn it!"

Manuel's cell phone then beeped. He got it out and looked at it. It was the alarm to his garage unit.

"One of them is still here!" Manuel then broke free of Hesus. "You want your answers, follow me!"

Vinnie and Modo looked through the Garage unit they had broken into. They knew it wasn't their style, but it wasn't like they were taking anything. They were just looking for any clue to lead them to Throttle. The homing beacon said he or his bike was somewhere inside this garage.

Vinnie then saw a motorbike next to a small car, both covered by sheets. Vinnie pulled off the sheet, and his heart raced! It was Throttle's!

"Modo!" He hissed. "I found his bike!"

Modo then walked over. "That's Throttle's bike alright. Now, where's the mouse to go with the motorcycle?"

They heard footsteps. They turned around and saw a bunch of humans outside the garage door.

"I have a feeling these guys know," Vinnie said, charging forward and grabbing the closest human's shirt, then raising him up by the collar. "Where is he?!"

One of the adults in the group then punched Vinnie in the face, causing him to drop his catch.

"Hands off my son, you... you giant rodent!" The man snapped in a Hispanic accent. The second man, Japanese, then assumed a martial arts stance.

"Takumi, get the police." He said.

"Slow down!" A woman snapped, walking up. There was also a man behind her. "We're just looking for their friend!"

"And who might you two be?" the Hispanic said.

"My name is Charley. That's Jaiden. Now if you two gentlemen will calm down, I can explain everything."

Sometime Later...

"So let me get this straight: These Martian mice came to earth to stop some fish-man from stealing our resources, then when they finally took him down, they were heading back to Mars when they were shot down by who-knows-what?" Bunta said, recapping as Manuel, Itsuki, Iketani, and Takumi looked over his ransacked apartment for any clues as to who took Throttle with help from Modo and Vinnie.

"Yeah, Basically," Charley said.

"I don't believe this..." Hesus said. "I'm calling Selena, even though she'll have a cow or two over this..."

Manuel looked up from trying to salvage what was left of his computer. "You're calling mom?! Now?!"

Hesus just ignored Manuel and started to dial the number.

"Well, this doesn't surprise me that much," Bunta said. "Wish you had told us sooner, but it doesn't surprise me that much."

"Have you lost it, Bunta?!" Hesus snapped. "They've been hanging out with giant alien..."

"Giant alien mice, I know," Bunta said, trying to keep a straight face as he realized what he just said. "But kids will be kids, especially these days. I've basically seen it all, so as I said, I am not that surprised."
