It was just hitting 7am the next morning and Paul was at John's house right on time. After honking the car horn, John came out and went to the passenger side.

"Ey. Morning." John said as he got in.

"Morning. How'd ye sleep last night?"

"Lousy. I need that car back."

"Ye'll get it back."

"Hopefully."

"No. You will."

"So, did you find anything that would lead to anyone wanting my car?"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Figures."

"So, to get yer mind off things, nervous about visiting yer in-laws tomorrow?"

"Not really. I'm seeing her brothers. I met them before. I know what they look like. Its not like I'm meeting them for the first time."

"No but when was the last time you saw them?"

"Personally? Uh, three and a half years ago."

"That's a long time ago."

"Yeh. They almost killed me when I married Cyn. That was the last time I saw them. Now that I think of it, I should be scared of them."

"Yeh. That's what I thought."

"Okay. Yer coming with me."

"Why me?"

"Because you can handle them. They're not yer in-laws. They're mine. They won't kill you. You can stop them from killing me."

"Ye'll be fine. If you have to, take Jules with you."

"Hey, that's a great idea. They won't dare kill me if I'm carrying him."

"Right."

"Paul, yer a genius! I'll do that."

"Okay. Does that mean I don't have to come along?"

"Yes. You can do what you got planned tomorrow."

"What do you have planned with them?"

"Uh, not sure. I think it might be a three way date."

"Great. They wouldn't dare kill you."

"Well, they might. Okay. In all seriousness, we look for my car and we won't stop until its found."

***********

Paul drove in to the parking lot of the office and the two walked in. "Geo and Ringo are here early." John said walking up to the two.

"So are we."

"Nah. We're right on time."

"Ey lads." John said as he put a hand on George's shoulder.

"Ey John."

"Morning." Ringo said taking a sip of coffee. "It should be illegal to get up this early."

"I 'ear ye. Paul, come on. Lets head out."

"But we just got here."

"I know. I wanna look for my car."

"Oh. Okay. Well, see you and Geo later Rings."

"Bye. Have fun and I hope you find it."

"That makes two of us."

Paul and John walked out and back to Paul's car.

*************

The two had been searching for hours. They went from neighborhood to neighborhood, looking under tarps that cars were under just to be sure and driving everywhere.

Then, they had gotten to one house where a car was under a tarp. John lifted up the tarp a little and the car was the exact color as his car. He then lifted it up all the way and took the tarp off.

"My car!"

John then started to look around and inside the car to make sure it was actually his. The car was unlocked so he opened it and sat in the driver's seat as he started going through the glove box. He found his own license that had been stuffed in there along with the registration.

"Okay. Paul, go to the door, and get the quack who stole my car."

"Yer coming with me. How do I know yer not going to take off in yer car and steal it from the thief who stole it from you?"

"Uh, what?"

Paul smiled. "Never mind. Come on. Yer coming up there with me."

John nodded and the two went to the door together. John knocked on the door and the door opened to reveal the guy that carjacked him.

"Hi. Remember us?" John asked.

He looked up at John and took off. John went after him and grabbed him before he could get outside.

"Oh no you don't. Yer not going anywhere!"

"Look, I just needed a ride."

"So, you decided to take mine and to top it all off, you hid it in yer drive under a tarp? And you weren't planning on keeping it?"

"No."

"I don't believe you. Come on. Yer coming with me."

As they stepped outside, John spoke again. "Hold it. Where's the keys?"

"My pocket."

John reached into his jacket pocket and took out his own car keys and held them in his hand. "Ta. Now, we can go. Paul, he's riding with you. He isn't stepping another foot in my car."
