Throttle, Vinnie and Modo were cruising down one of Chicago's streets.
It had been unusually quiet with no sing of anything form Limburger and
they were all restless. As they rounded a corner much to everyone's-especially
Vinnie's-delight and disgust they saw a group of Limburger's goons led by
Greasepit. Upon seeing the Biker Mice they turned and fled.
"Well," Modo remarked dryly, "That was easy."
"Yeah, too easy." Throttle agreed.
"Well, Darn it!" Vinnie grumbled. "They could've stuck around
for a few minutes. I didn't get off a single shot!" Throttle glanced
at him.
"Come on bro. Let's go see what they were up to." As they approached
the area their attention was drawn to a small alleyway leading off the street
by a low moan of pain.
"Someone's hurt." Throttle tensed. They screeched to a stop and
looked. Modo's eye glowed as it was obviously a child. They drew closer
to the still form and when they were close enough to see who it was they
all gasped in recognition.
"Airik!" They all cried together as they ran to the young girl.
Modo scooped her up cradling her in his arms.
"She must've gotten caught in the cross-fire or something!" Vinnie
exclaimed, pointing to her bike a few feet away. Airik wearily opened her
eyes and recognized a friend holding her.
"Modo." She whispered before passing out again.
"We have to get her back to the garage." Throttle's voice was
tight."Let's go." Modo answered, frustration, concern and worry
filled his voice. Everyone knew how he felt about children. Throttle picked
up Airik's bike and got on. He then patted his handlebars.
"Follow me home, baby?" He asked it. It revved in agreement. Modo
settled Airik in front of him. Cradling her head on his shoulder he wrapped
his tail around her waist and they headed for The Last Chance Garage. Charley
wasn't there when they arrived which may have been a good thing considering
the shape her daughter was in. Throttle parked her bike in it's usual place
then followed Vinnie and Modo to her room. Modo stood there with Airik in
his arms looking uncomfortable. Vinnie began to look smug. He rubbed his
hands together then began to pace back and forth with his hands locked behind
his back.
"Let me see if I can recap the events leading to this incident,"
He began in his best detective impersonation.
"Miss Davidson was trying to surprise both her Mother and us. At the
same time for one warped reason or another, Greasepit was attempting to
rob that shop by the alleyway. As Airik came down the street, Being both
stupid and nervous, Limburger's goons mistook her for one of us and fired
on her. It could've been anyone. She knows how to handle fire, and since
she doesn't appear to have any broken bones or be bleeding she probably
simply lost control of her bike and was knocked unconscious. Realizing their
mistake but being too chicken to do anything about it they simply left her
there. When we showed up it foiled the robbery, again, and we were able
to rescue Airik." Nobody bothered to argue with Vinnie. It was actually
a very accurate account. Throttle pulled back her blankets, Vinnie pulled
off her boots and Modo laid her down. Airik's eyes fluttered open.
"How're ya feelin'?" Modo asked her softly.
"I have a horrible headache," She murmured "But other than
that I'm alright."
"Take a nap for now and we'll check on you later." Throttle tried
to be comforting. Airik gave him a sleepy smile. He pulled her covers up
under her chin and kissed her forehead. Vinnie hugged her gently and kissed
her forehead as well. Modo was the last to hug the little girl and kissed
her cheek. As they left her room and closed the door they all softly said,
"Goodnight Darlin'."
