Author's pov:

"I'm definitely regretting this already.. I didn't even like the idea and now this!" Vinnie sighed desperately while sitting on a couch. He sat legs open and he had lifted his other leg over the other while laying against the backrest. He had stayed at Harley's right after they had got there. It had taken a few hours to make a proper plan, and after that a couple of more to get ready for it.

"Vinnie calm down! I'll be fine.." He heard Harley saying from the other room. She was changing her clothes and preparing herself to be a bait for the sergeant. Even if she didn't like the idea either, she knew that this would probably be their only chance to get him caught. He had every force after him, so how else would he get caught than using some innocent female bait, if anything else didn't work.

"Would he be that stupid he falls for this? He is a sergeant after all, but he has gotten away from the forces.." Vinnie sighed deeply. He was worried about Harley's safety. "Who wouldn't fall for me, huh Vinnie?" Harley said when she walked to the living room. Vinnie's jaw dropped down when he saw her.

"Reaction I was hoping for.." Harley smiled and walked to him. "Y-You.. You look gorgeous!" Vinnie stuttered while he was clearly blushing. "But why the wig?" He asked while Harley was spinning around in front of him. "So this wouldn't be so obvious.. Otherwise he would immediately see this as a trap.." Harley said when she sat on his lap. She was wearing a quite revealing light blue shirt with black miniskirt and long leather boots which were black too. Her wig was long and dark brown.

"Are you copying Carbine's style a bit?" Vinnie said while he was having trouble getting his eyes out of her. "Since when have you seen her dressing up like this?" Harley poked his nose making him jump a bit before lifting his eyes up to look at hers while blushing. "N-Never.. But I meant by that hair.." The White furred male tried to defend himself, causing the female to smile at him.

"Maybe a bit since you mentioned it, but it wasn't actually part of my plan" Harley said but then got up from his lap. She fixed her skirt and took her purse from the side table. "Where are we going to search for him? That's the only thing we haven't discussed yet" Vinnie said while leaning forward to lean against his knees with his arms.

"There are few shady bars near his house.. I think we should start there.." Harley said while she was clearly thinking about something. "Since when have you gotten to know places like those? And you really got that wig what for?" Vinnie asked suspiciously, making her giggle. "Don't start that, Vinnie! I bought this years ago for some masquerade, costume party like a thing.." She explained making the male roll his eyes. "I know what those are.. Nonsense to me.." He sighed but got poked to his nose again by her.

"That's what I was thinking! And luckily I am the brains in this plan, so I got you one too!" She said and walked to the other room again. "And I'm the muscles! Oh wait.. Y-You what?!" The Male gasped and turned around. "No.. Harley no.. I'm not going to wear that!" He said when the female walked back with a costume hanging from a hanger. "If you don't, we can't do this.. He will notice you immediately and you won't be able to protect me.." Harley said making him sigh deeply.

"Fine!! But only for you, Sweetheart.." He said and took the costume before walking in the room. "We are doing this for Carbine and the other possible victims, remember.." Harley said but got back some mumbling which made her smile a bit.

"You take more time to dress up than me! And I had more things to do.." Harley said while she was sitting on the couch in the living room and waiting for Vinnie to get ready. "This ain't going to work.." She got back as an answer. "How come?" She replied, just before the male walked to the living room.

"You look good, Vinnie! I knew I chose well.." Harley said when she saw him wearing the costume she had got him. "He must be blind if he falls for the trap.. You look good and barely noticeable, but me.. He sees my white but gorgeous face from a long distance!" He said but got just a smirk back from the female.

"I wasn't just sitting and waiting here, you know.. I had thought that through too!" She said and handed something to him. "What is this?" Vinnie said while looking at it. She had handed him some kind of hat with black haired wig kind thing in it. "Don't you recognize it? Oh, I did a better job than I even expected.." She smiled but then continued. "Put it on! It's your biker helmet in disguise!" She said making his jaw drop down.

"Really?!" He said and put the thing right on. "Oh man, Harley! You really did a great job! And now I don't look too ridiculous, do I?" He said making her shake her head. "I think you look great.. Actually, pretty hot I think" she said causing him to blush. "You really think that, Sweetheart?" He said and wrapped his hands around her waist. "Yes, but we don't have time for that now. We need to leave and get this done quickly. We don't know how many bars we need to search through.." She said making him nod, but before he could say anything, she handed him another thing.

"Cover your mouth with this, makes you look more scary" She said when he noticed it being a dark blue scarf. "Thanks, Sweetheart! Maybe I'll keep all of this stuff if I need to be disguised later again.." He said and put it on. "Are you ready to go?" He asked, causing her to nod to him. After that they walked outside and instead of using Vinnie's bike, they used Harley's old one. Just to be sure they wouldn't be recognized so fast.

( A/N: Two pictures about Vinnie's disguise. Sorry about the low quality, especially in the second picture!)

Meanwhile at somewhere else:

"Are you sure this is going to work? Those soldiers were quite a pain in the ass.." Platinum haired, chestnut furred female said before she sat on a chair in the corner of the bar. She was sitting opposite the male who was wearing a hoodie that covered his head too.

"I am.. But thanks for the help though.. We have not always been so close, you know.." The Male said making the female smile. "Siblings always get each other's back, right brother?" She said but then got a drink in front of her. "I didn't order any?" She said but the male thanked the bartender.

"Thank you.. You didn't have to.." She said and took a sip from the drink. "You are right, Saph.. But I wanted to.. How's Jess?" The Male said while carefully looking around from their corner table. He was sitting with his back facing the bar, so he wouldn't be noticed. "Troublesome as always.. Since I got caught acting to be her.. She is mad.. But I'll handle her.." Sapphire said and took another sip. "Hmm.. Good choice.." She smiled making the male smile back at her.

"How's your part going?" She asked making the male grin evilly. "General is going crazy any minute.. I'll be sure about that.." He said making her lift her other eyebrow. "I have sent her some threats from an unknown number" He said and took a phone in his pocket and then handed it to her. "'If you don't want your dear uncle to hear the truth about us, do as I say', huh? Just this?" The Female said and was quite confused. "What does that mean anyway? I know you are not telling me everything, which isn't fair.." She continued making him shake his head while putting the phone away.

"You don't need to know everything.. Just that, the general is so scared that she always has someone to guard her. And that will make her job difficult.. Sooner the better!" He laughed evilly making her roll her eyes, which didn't go unnoticed. "Just do you part, sis.. And this will be over soon" He said making her nod. "I am, the whole time! And you know I'm doing it well.." She said and took a sip from her drink.

"Good thing to have identical twins as siblings.." He chuckled making her smirk at him. "But I'm surprised they released you so soon.. The Soldiers I mean.." He said making her nod too. "What if they are after us?" She asked worriedly making him shake his head. "Not even the General Stoker has caught me yet, so not some random good day soldiers either.. But those bastard Biker Mice.. They always ruin everything!" He said angrily but the female lifted her hand on his palm to calm him down.

"I know, I know.. But this waiting is frustrating.." The Male said making her nod and sigh. "This was your plan.. Maybe Jess didn't want to be involved but I'll always help you, brother!" Sapphire said and took the last sip from her drink. "You have always been the most loyal one of you two" He said making her smile.

"And now I have very good reasons to do this.. I hate that Carbine bitch as much as you do.. This revenge is too easy and too.. Gentle.." She said and had an annoyed tone in her voice when she turned to look at the clock at the wall. "But I need to go now.. I promised Jess to explain myself to her.." She said causing the male to smirk at her.

"She is too easy for this, you know.. And so is the Big Guy.. Modo will mix you with her anytime again. All you need to do is to follow the plan" He said making her smirk and nod before leaving, but when she walked outside the bar, she sighed deeply and looked unhappy. "I'm using my sister's crush to get our revenge.. But that's just the cost of this.. I'd never have a crush on a guy like him.. Would I?" She thought to herself while walking on the streets. And deeply inside of her, she knew she was screwed.

Timeskip: Multiple bars later

After an hour and hours of searching, it was night already when Harley walked inside another bar. "Not even a small sign about him.. If we screw this now, I don't know what else we could do.." Harley whispered silently while unwrapping the scarf she was using outside. It was blue like her shirt, but a bit darker than it. "Calm down. This will go fine.. I'll go to order some root beer finally.." Vinnie said after entering the bar after her.

They walked so close to each other that they could hear the whispering, but since there were other people walking too inside the bar at the same time, it made them look like they didn't know each other which was part of the plan.

"Remember, if you get drunk, you won't be able to protect me.." Harley sighed before revealing her mouth. But then she noticed that Vinnie had already walked to the bar counter and was ordering a drink to himself. She rolled her eyes and walked to the other side of the counter, but then she saw a mouse whose profile could match the sergeant's. But the guy was at the back of the bar, back facing them.

"Glass of white wine, please" She said to the bartender when it was her turn. "Smaller one, thank you" She continued when they asked how much she wanted it. She hadn't drunk alcohol in every bar they visited, or else she would be more drunk than she was in Stoker's place yesterday. And for their luck, neither did Vinnie.

"It starts to be late.. What if he isn't here either.. I have already lost count of how many bars this is for the day.." Vinnie thought to himself while drinking his root beer. But then he saw Harley at the other side of the counter and she was looking at him the way she wanted his attention. Then she turned to look at the back of the bar before she looked at him again. He lifted his other eyebrow as a sign of confusion which made her roll her eyes to him.

"Scabbard" She formed with her mouth making him turn to look at the way again. He saw the guy there and he nodded to her immediately. Even if he saw only his back and profile, he could recognize him being who they were looking at. He had fought him so many times and even shot him on his leg. He would never forget how the sergeant looked.

But now started the hardest part. Harley got up from her seat after ordering a bit more white wine to herself and a glass of whiskey. She walked to the back of the bar where the sergeant was sitting. Vinnie followed it carefully with his eyes and he truly was anxious about this. He was afraid of Harley's safety and didn't want her near that horrible creature.

"Good evening, may I sit here?" Harley said with a tone that she had changed her voice a bit, so she wouldn't be recognized so fast.. Probably. But her voice did have the reaction she hoped to have. The Male lifted his head up to look at her and then he smirked at her. "Scabbard.. I knew it.." She thought to herself when he eyed her body which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

"What have I done to have a company this beautiful? Please have a seat, Miss" He said and pointed at the seat opposite of him. "Two lonely souls, I assume" She said and handed him the whiskey. "Thank you, but the next will be on me" He said while smirking at her. She noticed that he was definitely looking at her body hungrily. Meanwhile Vinnie was growling at the view, but stayed on his seat next to the bar counter.

"That would be nice. May I ask what brings you here, mister?" Harley asked kindly while drinking her white wine. "What single males are usually after?" He said but when she looked suspicious, he continued. "I mean.. I was hoping to meet someone beautiful.. As you, Miss" He corrected quickly making her smile and fake a blush.

"Such a gentleman, aren't you?" She said but then the male spoke again. "How about you? This isn't the fanciest bar of the town.." Scabbard said while taking a sip from the whiskey. "Well.. It's a long story.." Harley sighed, making the male look at him curiously. "I have time.. If you want to talk about it" He said and sounded almost like nice.

"My friend promised to take me to the new bar downtown since it's my birthday today.. But when we were supposed to meet, she texted me that she couldn't come.. Had some problems with her boyfriend, or something like that.." She faked the story but for her luck, the sergeant bought it. "Sounds horrible friend to me.. But may I offer you something to drink if it's your birthday today? My name is Jack, by the way" He said and handed his hand to her.

"That's so kind of you! Nice to meet you, Jack. I'm Eleanor" Harley said while shaking his hand. "Beautiful name for a beautiful female like you" He said making her fake giggle. "Stop it! You are making me blush, Jack" She said but then noticed him lifting his hand as a sign that he would like to offer something.

"Is that a bad thing, Elea? May I call you Elea?" He said and then the bartender came. "No.. I mean, Elea is fine! But I think I look stupid when I blush.." She said but then looked at the male suspiciously when he whispered something to the bartender. "......The usual" was the only thing she could hear him saying before the bartender nodded and left.

"Is everything alright?" Harley asked and looked a bit worried. "Yes, completely fine. Don't worry" The Sergeant said and it didn't take long when the bartender came back with two drinks. "Happy Birthday, Eleanor. The House's special, hope you like it!" The Bartender said making the female smile. "Thank you! So this was what you were whispering, huh?" She said making the male nod. She took a sip even if it was quite a risky thing to do.

She noticed that he was smirking when she tasted the drink. "This is good.. I think my friend's overtaking is not that bad anymore.." Harley continued her fake story making the sergeant nod to her. "I hope I can make you feel better.." He said and then turned to look away. Harley faked that she was focused on her drink, but when he looked away, she looked the way he was looking at. She saw a shady looking door opening a bit and it looked like there was no door at all when it was closed.

"I think I need to go to the ladies room, I'll be back soon" Harley said and smiled at him. He grinned back when she got up from the chair. But right after that, she felt quite dizzy. "Oh no.. This was not part of the plan.. I was supposed to go to tell Vinnie that I offer the sergeant an opportunity to put something in my drink, but it seems like he was a way ahead.." She thought to herself while leaning against the table.

"I.. I don't feel alright, Jack.." She managed to say just before she passed out. The Sergeant had got up right in time before she fell in his arms. Vinnie saw that and got up from his chair immediately. "This wasn't our plan, Harley!! I hope you are okay, Sweetheart!" Vinnie thought to himself while hurrying his way to the back of the bar. The Whole place was almost full, which made it quite hard.

Just before the Sergeant managed to carry Harley inside the other room, Vinnie managed to get himself to the back of the bar. "Put the lady down!!" He yelled furiously while pulling his gun out of his disguise. He had hid it under his shirt where he had his X-bandoleer hidden too. Even if there was quite loud noise and music in the bar, Scabbard heard him yelling, which made him turn around.

"Don't put your nose in someone else's business.." He growled angrily back to him. Vinnie wondered if he recognized his voice or not, but that wasn't the biggest problem now. He needed to get Harley safe and that jackass in front of justice, but he didn't have his bros with him. Or any way to contact them.. And the bar seemed to be Scabbard's main place to be since the bartender was by his side, and so were some of the customers. The Other ones Vinnie didn't know which side they were on, or were they there just by accident. This scene reminded him about something that had happened in his past, and that thing didn't end up good..

"Too many against one.. But lucky for you that I'm no newbie about fighting.. Anymore.." Vinnie counted while grinning and the next he pulled his mouth hiding scarf down, revealing his face to them. "Of course it's you.." Scabbard rolled his eyes but then grinned. "But it seems like you are all alone, kid.. And I win.." He said before he started to laugh evilly. But before his friends got Vinnie, someone had turned the music off before raising their voice.

"Enough Scabbard!!" A Male yelled making even Vinnie turn around to see who it was. "Commander in Chief!" Vinnie and Scabbard shouted at the same time. "How is he here?!" Scabbard growled at someone but the next thing he saw was the wall, way too close, since Vinnie had pressed him against it. He had used the opportunity when Scabbard had his attention unguarded.

"W-What's.. What's happening.." The next he heard Harley mumbling from the floor. Seemed like Scabbard had dropped her after hearing the voice of Commander in Chief. He was the only one that was known that Scabbard still respected. But that didn't help him now. Since the Commander in Chief was there, they had a better opportunity to get the sergeant than they ever had planned or even wished for.

"I'm disappointed in you, Sergeant.. I have been told about your actions and you are an embarrassment not only for the whole army but also for the whole Martian mice civilization!!" The Commander in Chief said while Vinnie was keeping the sergeant in his place, pressed tightly against the wall.

"You little shit.. You and your little friends told them!" Scabbard growled but Vinnie just tightened his grip. "I don't know how you are here, Commander in Chief but thank you for the right timing!" He said but then saw him helping Harley up from the floor to sit on a seat. "Are you okay, Sweetheart?!" He panicked and that was his only weak moment he showed there. But that was enough to the sergeant for use his tail to trip him over.

"Soldiers! Get Sergeant Scabbard!" The Commander in Chief commanded when the sergeant ran to the other room where he was about to drag unconscious Harley. Vinnie had hid his head to the floor when he fell, so he wasn't able to run after him. But to their surprise, there was a group of other soldiers with the Commander in Chief that ran after the sergeant when the command had been told.

"Vinnie are you alright?" Harley said when she was about to get up from the seat, but the Commander in Chief put his hand on her shoulder. "Sit right there.. Don't move" He said and handed her a glass of water. "Drink this, you'll feel better" He said and then walked to Vinnie who had managed to sit up. "I'm fine, thank you, Sir.." Vinnie said and took his disguised helmet off to rub the back of his head.

"Luckily I had the helmet on.." He smiled and then got up before walking to Harley. Before he could say anything, the soldiers dragged the sergeant from the other room. He had definitely fought back since some of the soldiers were injured, but he looked like he was beaten worse.

"Sergeant Scabbard. You are under arrest and your service at the military is over" The Commander in Chief said while he moved to stand in front of Harley and Vinnie to cover them for the beaten male, when the soldiers dragged him to meet the Commander in Chief. Scabbard didn't say anything. He decided to stay silent, but deeply inside of him he was growling. It could be said easily since he looked so displeased.

"Take him to the jail and make sure he is well guarded before the trial" The Commander in Chief said to the soldiers who left immediately with the finally caught abuser. "There are somebodies who would like to meet you two outside" He said to Vinnie who had helped Harley to stand up. "Should Harley meet a doctor first? Scabbard put something in her drink.." Vinnie said worriedly but the female shook her head.

"The Bartender is on our side. He did his part of the plan very well and it wasn't anything dangerous that was on her drink" The Commander in Chief explained making the female nod. "Some herbs have that kind of effect if they are mixed the wrong way.. Taught in a nurse school, basics Vinnie" She smiled making him sigh deeply in relief.

"But how did you know about this? That what we were going to do?" Vinnie asked while they walked to the front door. "This Miss here, is quite intelligent, did you know that soldier Vinnie?" The Commander in Chief smiled kindly. "W-What?" Vinnie turned to look at Harley who could stand up for her own now. "I contacted them while I was getting ready.. Just to be sure we won't fail.." She explained making him twitch his nose.

"Is that how much you trust me?" He said but the Commander in Chief shook his head. "Soldier Vinnie.. It was just good that she contacted us. The Search has been ongoing for too long, but it's now finally over. Thanks to you two" He nodded formally making both of them smile and nod back to him. After that they walked outside, leaving the Commander in Chief to exchange a few words with the bartender before leaving too.

"Harley! Vinnie!! Are you okay?!" They heard Carbine shouting before she ran to hug them. "Carbine?! Where did you come from?" Harley wondered but then saw Throttle and Modo next to Vinnie's bike. "You brought my bike!" Vinnie said making the males chuckle. "The only thing he notices.." Modo smirked making Throttle nod to him.

"Our reckless Vincent.." He said before walking to hug him. He had been leaning against his bike since they had arrived in the middle of the night. "I owe you my life, Vincent.. You managed to get that asshole caught.. You saved Carbine again.." He said while hugging the white furred male. Vinnie smiled and hugged him back.

"I'd do that anytime again.." He said but then felt the others around him too. Throttle, Modo and Carbine were hugging Vinnie and Harley tightly when the general started crying. "Carbine is everything okay?" Throttle asked worriedly when they ended the hug and he lifted his hand on her lower back as a sign to calm her down.

"It's finally over.. How can I thank you enough?" She sobbed while looking at her friends who had just completed a dangerous mission. "That's what friends are for, aren't them, huh Carbine?" Vinnie smiled and lifted his other hand on her shoulder making her smile. "Not only.. That's what a family is for.." She said making the moment even more touching.

"But how did you guys come here?" Harley asked while looking at the others. "Stoker contacted us.. The Commander in Chief had contacted him after the call with you.. We would have wanted to join you with the mission but the Chief told us you had planned it so well that it was better to have only them as a backup.." Throttle explained when all of them walked to their own bikes. Only Carbine didn't have one because Throttle had picked her up. Since he had caused Stoker's other bike's crash and Carbine hadn't got her a new one after the crash when Mace had arrived, he had promised to drive her anywhere she needed.

But when they were about to head back to their own homes, they heard a very unwanted noise behind their backs. "This isn't over Carbine!! I'll be back!" Scabbard yelled from the transporting vehicle that was for criminals. He was tied and guarded carefully there. "Send a letter from jail, you asshole!!" Vinnie growled and stepped in front of Carbine with the other two males that were definitely growling too.

"We'll never see him again.. You'll be safe, Carbine.." Harley said while she walked to hug her friend. "Better be.." Carbine sighed deeply while all five of them were watching the view of receding transportation. "You will be.. But I will always protect you from anything.." Throttle said before he hugged her while Harley walked back to her own bike, they had driven there with Vinnie.

"Should we go back home now? Sun is almost rising already.." Modo suggested while covering his yawn with his hand. "Shouldn't we celebrate this first?" Vinnie said but then yawned too. "Sleep sounds better for now.." Harley said and Carbine continued. "Maybe even I can sleep better now.." She said making Throttle smile at her.

"I'm sure about that.. Do you want me to come over or?" He said but then a big yawn escaped from him too. "Maybe it's better if you sleep with me tonight.. But let's go to your place, it's closer than Stoker's.." She said making Vinnie start laughing. It took a moment from the others to realize what she had said so funny, before they all started laughing at it.

"Quite a clear suggestion if you ask me.." Vinnie laughed when they got ready and started their bikes. "How about you come to my place and let's see what you are made of, Vinnie?" Harley smirked and moved her bike next to his before taking his hand in hers, making him blush clearly. "Well that sounds more clear to me" Throttle said while the others were laughing. "Let's go before I fall asleep in here.." Carbine poked his shoulder making him nod to her. "Hey Vincent.. Nice clothes by the way!" Modo grinned when they finally started driving. "Oh shut it.." Vinnie grunted making all of them laugh again.

The sound of growling motorcycles filled the night, or what was actually left from it anymore, when the group got separate ways to their homes. Even if each of them were very tired, some of them still had big worries in their mind. Modo was wondering about Jessica and how all of this would affect them and the group. Meanwhile Carbine was still worried about whether she would live or even sleep peacefully..

Only time shows that. And what kind of sentence the ex-sergeant gets.. But what about his identical sisters? Jessica was innocent for what had happened, but Sapphire had her part in this and she wasn't afraid of acting to be her sister. Why was she rancorous to Carbine? Where did they even know each other? Was she going to take her revenge? And would the Biker Mice and the females live finally in peace now?
