*The next day at 3:00 AM in the morning, Joe wakes up, takes a shower, and eats breakfast before installing the jammer into Black Cobra, the 2014 Shelby GT500 Super Snake in black. He yawns and heads out to the truck known as the Beast. He opens a container on the truck and finds a jammer.*
Joe: Man, I've installed too many of these in Ford Mustangs so this should be an easy installation. *He smiles and grabs the box containing the jammer, he carries it to Black Cobra and sets it on the hood. He hears a guitar being shredded on, the song being played was The Light by Disturbed. Joe pulls his phone out and calls Tony.* Hey Tony, can you unlock the Snake please?
Tony: Um..sure. *the Shelby flashes and the interior lights turn on.*
Joe: Thanks Tony.
Tony: Yeah, no problem. *he ends the call and then looks out the window at Joe. Tony gives Joe a thumbs-up and vanishes back into the room.
*Joe opens the door to Cobra and pops the hood. He closes the door and opens the hood. He smiles at the monstrous V8 with the supercharger attached.* Woah, 5.8 Liter Whipple Supercharged V8. This thing's gotta be making 850 horsepower at the flywheel and 800 at the wheels. Time to install the jammer. *He rubs his hands together but then he gets a call from a police number. He instantly answers the phone.* Hello, this is Joe Peck. Who is this?
Officer Sandler: Turn around with your hands up.
*Joe hears sirens in the distance. He takes his phone off of his ear and ends the call.* Oh shit! *He instantly closes the hood and runs inside the hotel. James' Shelby arrives with 5 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 pursuit cars. Joe continues to hustle the hallways of the hotels with cops right on him.*
*He calls Tony, Gia, and Finn and lets them know that the police are here.* Guys, police are here at the hotel and are chasing me. Take Beauty and get the hell out of here!
*In the Hotel Room*
Tony: Copy that, we'll find a way to get out. *Tony nods towards Gia to open the window and pop the screen off. After she does that, she gets out of the room and onto the roof, which is at a slant. Tony gets out of the room and heads outside. He slides across the hood of one of the GT500s. He makes it to Beauty with Finn right on his heels.* Finn, help me get Beauty ready. *They hurry and take the straps off and out from between each rim. They lower the ramp and send Beauty into the parking lot. Tony gets into the Mustang and starts the V8 and drives towards where Gia was. He parks right outside the window. Tony gets out and stands near the roof Gia's on.* Jump, I'll catch you! *He touches his watch and voice command turns on.* Call Finn.
Computer: Calling Finn.
Gia: No, I'm afraid of heights!
Tony: I'll catch you, I promise. Close your eyes and on the count of three, jump from the roof.
Finn: Yes Tony?
Tony: Attach a tow cable from the Beast to the back of Sandler's GT500 Super Snake, the blue one. *He turns his conversation back to Gia.* 3...2... *Suddenly, Gia jumps from the roof and lands in Tony's arms. The two look at each other and smile.* Gia, did you grab the cash?
Gia: Shit, no I didn't. Tell Finn to go get it, we need that money!
Tony: Gotcha. Snake to Beast, we need that money. It's in Gia and I's room. Meet us at the nearest restaurant, ok?
Finn: Copy that Beauty, good luck! Beast out.
*Tony and Gia get into Beauty and head out onto the streets. Suddenly the Mustang stops and turns around.*
Gia: What the hell are you doing? *Her body slams into her door.* We're supposed to go away from the police, not towards it!
Tony: We need to go back for this girl, she is sitting in Sandler's Snake. She doesn't know she's getting into a trap. *He aims the Mustang towards the parking lot. He pulls in and knocks on the passenger door of the blue Shelby GT500 Super Snake.* Get out of there, you're in danger! *He opens the door and pulls the girl out. Tony gets on one knee.* You see that silver Mustang? *He points at Beauty.* Get in on the passenger side. I'll be there in one moment. *He watches the teenager run towards Beauty. Tony presses a button on his watch.* Gia, meet me at the back side of the building. I'm going to retrieve the money myself. *He runs towards the hotel with the cops escorting Joe out of the building.*
Sandler: Joe Peck, you are under arrest for GTA of a black 2014 Shelby GT500 Mustang custom.
*The police don't notice Tony running past them. The young man makes it into the building and hustles up the stairs to the second level. He hides behind a corner as he sees a man in black enter his room.* Shit...Let's see who's in there. *He sneaks towards his room and sees a gun lying on the floor. He picks it up and storms into his room.* FREEZE!!
*The man raises his hands up and turns around, revealing Finn.* Whoa man, what're you doin back here?
*Tony puts his gun down.* Sorry Finn, ran into a crisis with a brunette minor. Had to pick her up. *The radio on Tony's watch goes off.*
Gia: "Tony, we have issues!! James noticed the girl is missing, he's onto us. Hurry up."
Tony: I'm on my way. *He focuses on Finn* Let me get the bags, grab that wallet and let's get out of here. *Tony grabs his bag and Gia's bag. Finn grabs Tony's wallet.* Alright, got'em. Let's go. Back entrance only. *Tony and Finn run towards the stairs and out the back door to Beauty. The driver's side door opens and Gia gets out. Tony slides across the hood and gets into the silver Mustang. Gia opens the passenger side door and has the teen get out. The blonde sits down and has the teen sit down on her lap. The doors close and Tony throws the bags back behind the driver and passenger seats. The Mustang peels out and heads out onto the streets and out into the countryside. After escaping the police, Tony looks at Gia and the teenager.* I think we lost them. *He smiles and shifts to sixth gear.*
Teenager: My dad will catch you and this stolen Mustang, criminal. *She not looking too happy about the situation.* First of all, why did you take me from my dad's highway patrol car?
Gia: A friend of mine was setting a trap for your dad if he followed us and my boyfriend here thought it would be a good idea to go back and save you while risking himself of capture.
Tony: I was actually thinking, maybe a little too rash but we saved your life. Your dad may not be happy about us taking you on our little trip but he'll be happy you weren't injured. I lost my dad when I was 17...We were very close...I don't want your dad to be sad if you died...You probably mean a lot to him if he brings you on a call.
Teen: Oh...We haven't properly introduced each other. I'm Skipper, and you are?
Tony: I'm Anthony, you can just call me Tony.
Skipper: Anthony, nice to meet you. I've already met your girlfriend, she really likes you. *She brushes her brown and purple hair out of her face when her cellphone rings.* Should I answer it?
Gia: Skipper, don't. Your dad's a cop and we don't want him to trace your phone and try to ambush us. Call him on a payphone, that'll be better.
Skipper: Oh, ok. *She turns her phone off and sets it in a cup holder.* Since you have me, the reward for your capture has gone up tremendously.
Tony: Great to know that. *He shifts up, speeding into the 170s.* So what's the plan and how did Sandler find us?
Skipper: Intel from someone in the hotel. I can't tell you the details though. *She looks out the windshield and smiles.* I don't have any plans. *She pauses for a moment.* I actually have one. Does this car have a Jammer? This plan requires a jammer.
*Gia looks very uncomfortable. She looks at Tony and then looks out her window.*
Tony: I don't think so. One of my friends was trying to install one into a black 2014 GT500 Super Snake. That was before he was caught by your dad and his fellow officers. We'll stop at a shop and see if we can borrow a bay so we can get that installed.
Skipper: Sounds like a plan. Here's my plan. We scramble the police scanners and make the car unreadable to any radar and EMP Targeting Systems. This means we'll be able to sneak by. The only license plate is on the back of the car, right?
Tony: Right.
Skipper: We need to take that off. I can print off a fake temp tag and put it in a sleeve and screw it into the license plate area. After that, we'll be set.
*A sound comes from the stereo. On the radio screen, Finn's face appears on it. Skipper looks at Tony. He nods. Skipper presses the answer button.*
*Finn starts laughing like hell.* Dude, the axle is gone on his Shelby! I didn't think it would work. So, what's the plan?
Tony: I'm glad the plan worked. Skipper, it's all you.
Skipper: I'm Skipper Sandler and I have the perfect plan for this team to avoid the cops.
Finn: Fire away, Ms. Sandler. I'm listening.
Skipper: We scramble the police scanners and make the car unreadable to any radar and EMP Targeting Systems. This means we'll be able to sneak by. We need to take off the license plate. I can print off a fake temp tag, We'll put it in a sleeve and screw it into the license plate area. After that, we'll be set.
Finn: Sounds good. Tony, how's Gia doing?
Tony: She doesn't look comfortable. We could have Skipper ride with you in the Beast.
Finn: Sounds good. Beast out.
*The call ends and the Mustang hits the Interstate. Tony smiles and looks at Skipper and Gia. The girls smile back.*
*Skipper looks at Gia: Is this uncomfortable for you?
Gia: Yes, it is. *She unbuckles her seatbelt and makes some room on the seat for Skipper. She sighs happily.* That's better.
*Skipper is sitting next to the gear shift and Gia sits next to the door. Tony smiles and makes another shift. The Mustang's V8 roars as they switch lanes a couple times. Tony's cellphone rings, it's Theresa Cunningham, his ex girlfriend. Tony picks it up and converts audio to his phone.*
Tony: Hey what's up?
Theresa: I"m apologizing to you for my actions yesterday morning. I wish we could get back together.
Tony: I wish we could too. *He sighs and keeps his foot on the gas.* You gonna take an airplane ticket and meet me in San Francisco? I bet they'll let you borrow a Lamborghini or a Camaro.
Theresa: They might. I heard Joe was arrested. He's the only person beside me who knows that car inside out. Actually, I'll meet you there.
*The line clicks and Tony continues to drive. Skipper fell asleep and Gia lays awake. Gia looks over at Tony.*
Gia: So, what's going on between you and your ex girlfriend?
Tony: Theresa wants to meet me in San Francisco. She actually knows a lot about the car we're riding in.
Gia: So you're saying we need a mechanic who knows the very car we're driving?
Tony: Yes, I am. *He heads across the Iowa State Line, this state being Nebraska.* She's the only one besides Alex Blade and Joe that knows the car the best.
*The sun starts to raise, the clock on the radio saying it's 6:00 AM. Tony looks over at the girls, them passed out. There are only four days left until DeLeon, only three until the driver's meeting. The Mustang starts sputtering, telling Tony that they're out of gas.*
Tony: Beast, you there? We need to bingo and hot fuel, now!! Wait, we can't do that since we lost Joe to the police. Looks like we're stopping at a gas station.
*The Shelby coasts down an exit ramp and it turns right, not stopping for traffic. Tony wakes Gia and Skipper up and ask them to help push the Shelby into the gas station. They push the car and fill it up. Tony lets the girls use the bathroom and freshen up.*
Tony: Don't be long! *A Nebraska State trooper cruiser rolls by and Tony ducks down, keeping his hands between the Mustang and the gas pump, he sneaks over to a green 6x6 army truck. The cop walks into the gas station, he identifies the driver of the cruiser as James Sandler.*
*In the gas station, James walks up the cashier's counter. The cashier looks at him with disgust on his or her face* May I help you officer?
James: Can I get some coffee?
Cashier: Black or decaf?
James: Black is just fine. *He looks at the security screens and the Shelby pops up on one of them. He smiles and turns his back to the camera.*
*Gia and Skipper come walking out of the gas station and Gia sees James and they instantly duck. Skipper does the same and they slowly start walking towards the front door with their heads staying low. James smiles and meets them at the end of the divider wall.*
*James tips his hat.* Ma'am, are you riding in that silver Mustang over there?
Gia: Mustang? *She's trying to sound like someone from Montana, she's doing a hell of a job of showing she's from Montana.* No sir, just making a long haul from Montana to New Mexico.
James: I have a few more questions, if you just step out to my cruiser. *He gestures out to his Ford Crown Victoria Police Cruiser. Gia thinks for one moment and bolts with Skipper right behind her.* Get back here!! SKIPPER!! YOU WILL BE GROUNDED IF YOU DON'T COME BACK HERE, MISSY!! *He decides to chase after Gia and his daughter. He grabs his radio and calls for all units to meet at the gas station.*
*Skipper and Gia throw stuff out of the way to slow James down. They run up some stairs and lock themselves in a room with a window. Gia pulls out her cellphone and calls Tony.* T-tony, h-help us!! James has cornered us in a room. I've locked the door but there's a window. I don't know if Skipper is afraid of heights but you need to save us, quickly!
Tony: I'm on my way. Second floor? *He's connecting a chain from the 6x6 to the police cruiser. After he's done, he rushes to Beauty and meets Gia and Skipper at the window. He gets out with his arms ready to catch the girls.* Send Skipper first!!
*Before James goes outside, he hears Beauty's V8 roaring and he smiles and runs down towards the lobby. He calls for all Nebraska State Trooper units to back him up.
*Skipper steps out the window and sits on a ledge, scraping her designer jeans across the roof's shingles. She looks at Gia.* Do I have to do this?
Gia: If you want to get out of here, then you must.
Tony: I'll count to three. On three, you jump.
Skipper: No, I'm scared....
Tony: 1....2....thr- *Before he finishes three, Skipper jumps and falls into Tony's arms. The two look at each other and puts Skipper on the ground. He readies himself to catch Gia.* Ready?
*Gia nods and jumps into Tony's arms. They look at each other and get into Beauty, speeding out of the parking lot. They drive right in front of James, who's hustling towards his police cruiser.*
*James grabs his radio while running to his police car.* In pursuit of modified Silver Mustang. Any backup in the area?
Dispatch: No units in your area.
*James looks at the Mustang leaving the gas station. He gets into the car and starts the engine. He puts the car in gear and he begins to chase after the Mustang. The back axle is suddenly ripped out by a chain.*
*Gia looks at Tony.* Is he coming?
Tony: I'm pretty sure that he isn't coming. *He smiles and looks at the ground, shifting up to third gear.*
Gia: Why isn't he coming?
Tony: You don't want to know.
*The Mustang drifts out onto the interstate to go through Wyoming and into Cheyenne. After many hours of driving, they stop in a small town in Colorado. The sky is dark and the air is very cold. The town is known as North Park. Tony looks at the people wearing winter coats, there are a couple inches of snow are on the ground.*
Tony: I hope we brought jackets because it's gonna be cold as fuck... *Tony turns the heater on and the Mustang begins to warm up. Tony clicks a button on the radio's touch screen. It shows the weather for North Park.* Get something on because we're stopping at this restaurant. After that, we're going to go to Steamboat Springs and stay there for the night. *The Mustang pulls into a parking lot at a place called Moose Lodge. Tony gets out of the car, shivering. Gia and Skipper get out of the car and Gia closes the door and Tony closes his. The three of them walk into the restaurant and see people bowling. Tony looks for a table to sit at. He finds one and motions for the girls to follow him towards the table.*
*A few minutes later, a waitress walks over. She was an older woman who looked like she was in her fifties.* Hello, my name is Barbara and I'll be your waiter today. *She hands Tony, Gia, and Skipper three menus.* Can I get you three something to drink?
Tony: What do you have for soda?
Barbara: We have Pepsi products, sir.
Tony: I'll take a Mountain Dew.
Gia: Same with me.
Skipper: I'll have a Dr. Pepper.
Barbara: Anything I can get you at this moment? *She writes down the gang's drink order. She looks up from her notepad.*
Tony: We're waiting on one more person so could we get another menu?
Barbara: Sure thing, I'll get your drinks in a little bit and I'll be back with that last menu. *Barb turns and walks towards the kitchen.*
*The door opens and a man enters, covered in snow. He instantly looks at Tony and walks towards them.*
Tony: Finn, you made it. How was traffic and did the Beast handle the snow?
Finn: Traffic was fine and The Beast handled the snow pretty well with her current tires. *Finn takes seat at the table.*
*Barbara comes with a tray holding Tony, Gia, and Skipper's drinks.* Alright, here are your drinks. *She turns and looks at Finn.* What can I get for you, sir?
Finn: A decaf coffee if you have any, if not then I'll have some hot chocolate. *He smiles as he's handed a menu.*
Barbara: I'll be right back. *She turns and walks away to the kitchen.*
*Finn takes his snow cap off.* Tony, so when are we gonna place that jammer in Beauty? We need that jammer and quickly.
Tony: We'll probably put it on in a shop in Steamboat Springs. *Tony takes a sip of his drink.* We need to figure out the frequency that cops put their EMP locks on. Skipper, anything you'd like to add?
Skipper: Those EMP devices have a 2.5 GHz frequency, that's what my dad's cars have. I don't know about his squad's cars. We would need to get steal one from an officer to get a proper reading.
Finn: Alright, that settles it. We'll stay in Steamboat for a night and install that jammer.
*Food comes and the team eats their food almost instantly after the conversation ends. Tony thanks the lady and begins to eat. Half an hour later, they pay and leave for Steamboat Springs.*
*Tony and Gia ride in the Mustang and Finn and Skipper ride in the Beast. Beauty has been having issues getting through the deeper snow. It's been to where the Beast has had to pull Beauty out of it a couple times. Beauty had been running low on fuel. She finally ran out of fuel halfway to Steamboat. They load Beauty onto the trailer and join Finn and Skipper in the Beast.*
*They finally arrive in Steamboat Springs and they decide to stay at the Steamboat Grand Hotel. They only have enough money to afford one big room.*
*Finn and Skipper get a room to themselves while Gia and Tony share the other half.*
Joe: Man, I've installed too many of these in Ford Mustangs so this should be an easy installation. *He smiles and grabs the box containing the jammer, he carries it to Black Cobra and sets it on the hood. He hears a guitar being shredded on, the song being played was The Light by Disturbed. Joe pulls his phone out and calls Tony.* Hey Tony, can you unlock the Snake please?
Tony: Um..sure. *the Shelby flashes and the interior lights turn on.*
Joe: Thanks Tony.
Tony: Yeah, no problem. *he ends the call and then looks out the window at Joe. Tony gives Joe a thumbs-up and vanishes back into the room.
*Joe opens the door to Cobra and pops the hood. He closes the door and opens the hood. He smiles at the monstrous V8 with the supercharger attached.* Woah, 5.8 Liter Whipple Supercharged V8. This thing's gotta be making 850 horsepower at the flywheel and 800 at the wheels. Time to install the jammer. *He rubs his hands together but then he gets a call from a police number. He instantly answers the phone.* Hello, this is Joe Peck. Who is this?
Officer Sandler: Turn around with your hands up.
*Joe hears sirens in the distance. He takes his phone off of his ear and ends the call.* Oh shit! *He instantly closes the hood and runs inside the hotel. James' Shelby arrives with 5 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 pursuit cars. Joe continues to hustle the hallways of the hotels with cops right on him.*
*He calls Tony, Gia, and Finn and lets them know that the police are here.* Guys, police are here at the hotel and are chasing me. Take Beauty and get the hell out of here!
*In the Hotel Room*
Tony: Copy that, we'll find a way to get out. *Tony nods towards Gia to open the window and pop the screen off. After she does that, she gets out of the room and onto the roof, which is at a slant. Tony gets out of the room and heads outside. He slides across the hood of one of the GT500s. He makes it to Beauty with Finn right on his heels.* Finn, help me get Beauty ready. *They hurry and take the straps off and out from between each rim. They lower the ramp and send Beauty into the parking lot. Tony gets into the Mustang and starts the V8 and drives towards where Gia was. He parks right outside the window. Tony gets out and stands near the roof Gia's on.* Jump, I'll catch you! *He touches his watch and voice command turns on.* Call Finn.
Computer: Calling Finn.
Gia: No, I'm afraid of heights!
Tony: I'll catch you, I promise. Close your eyes and on the count of three, jump from the roof.
Finn: Yes Tony?
Tony: Attach a tow cable from the Beast to the back of Sandler's GT500 Super Snake, the blue one. *He turns his conversation back to Gia.* 3...2... *Suddenly, Gia jumps from the roof and lands in Tony's arms. The two look at each other and smile.* Gia, did you grab the cash?

Gia thinks for one moment and bolts with Skipper right behind her.* Get back here!! SKIPPER!! YOU WILL BE GROUNDED IF YOU DON'T COME BACK HERE, MISSY!! *He decides to chase after Gia and his daughter. He grabs his radio and calls for all units to meet at the gas station.*
*Skipper and Gia throw stuff out of the way to slow James down. They run up some stairs and lock themselves in a room with a window. Gia pulls out her cellphone and calls Tony.* T-tony, h-help us!! James has cornered us in a room. I've locked the door but there's a window. I don't know if Skipper is afraid of heights but you need to save us, quickly!
Tony: I'm on my way. Second floor? *He's connecting a chain from the 6x6 to the police cruiser. After he's done, he rushes to Beauty and meets Gia and Skipper at the window. He gets out with his arms ready to catch the girls.* Send Skipper first!!
*Before James goes outside, he hears Beauty's V8 roaring and he smiles and runs down towards the lobby. He calls for all Nebraska State Trooper units to back him up.
*Skipper steps out the window and sits on a ledge, scraping her designer jeans across the roof's shingles. She looks at Gia.* Do I have to do this?
Gia: If you want to get out of here, then you must.
Tony: I'll count to three. On three, you jump.
Skipper: No, I'm scared....
Tony: 1....2....thr- *Before he finishes three, Skipper jumps and falls into Tony's arms. The two look at each other and puts Skipper on the ground. He readies himself to catch Gia.* Ready?
*Gia nods and jumps into Tony's arms. They look at each other and get into Beauty, speeding out of the parking lot. They drive right in front of James, who's hustling towards his police cruiser.*
*James grabs his radio while running to his police car.* In pursuit of modified Silver Mustang. Any backup in the area?
Dispatch: No units in your area.
*James looks at the Mustang leaving the gas station. He gets into the car and starts the engine. He puts the car in gear and he begins to chase after the Mustang. The back axle is suddenly ripped out by a chain.*
*Gia looks at Tony.* Is he coming?
Tony: I'm pretty sure that he isn't coming. *He smiles and looks at the ground, shifting up to third gear.*
Gia: Why isn't he coming?
Tony: You don't want to know.
*The Mustang drifts out onto the interstate to go through Wyoming and into Cheyenne. After many hours of driving, they stop in a small town in Colorado. The sky is dark and the air is very cold. The town is known as North Park. Tony looks at the people wearing winter coats, there are a couple inches of snow are on the ground.*
Tony: I hope we brought jackets because it's gonna be cold as fuck... *Tony turns the heater on and the Mustang begins to warm up. Tony clicks a button on the radio's touch screen. It shows the weather for North Park.* Get something on because we're stopping at this restaurant. After that, we're going to go to Steamboat Springs and stay there for the night. *The Mustang pulls into a parking lot at a place called Moose Lodge. Tony gets out of the car, shivering. Gia and Skipper get out of the car and Gia closes the door and Tony closes his. The three of them walk into the restaurant and see people bowling. Tony looks for a table to sit at. He finds one and motions for the girls to follow him towards the table.*
*A few minutes later, a waitress walks over. She was an older woman who looked like she was in her fifties.* Hello, my name is Barbara and I'll be your waiter today. *She hands Tony, Gia, and Skipper three menus.* Can I get you three something to drink?
Tony: What do you have for soda?
Barbara: We have Pepsi products, sir.
Tony: I'll take a Mountain Dew.
Gia: Same with me.
Skipper: I'll have a Dr. Pepper.
Barbara: Anything I can get you at this moment? *She writes down the gang's drink order. She looks up from her notepad.*
Tony: We're waiting on one more person so could we get another menu?
Barbara: Sure thing, I'll get your drinks in a little bit and I'll be back with that last menu. *Barb turns and walks towards the kitchen.*
*The door opens and a man enters, covered in snow. He instantly looks at Tony and walks towards them.*
Tony: Finn, you made it. How was traffic and did the Beast handle the snow?
Finn: Traffic was fine and The Beast handled the snow pretty well with her current tires. *Finn takes seat at the table.*
*Barbara comes with a tray holding Tony, Gia, and Skipper's drinks.* Alright, here are your drinks. *She turns and looks at Finn.* What can I get for you, sir?
Finn: A decaf coffee if you have any, if not then I'll have some hot chocolate. *He smiles as he's handed a menu.*
Barbara: I'll be right back. *She turns and walks away to the kitchen.*
*Finn takes his snow cap off.* Tony, so when are we gonna place that jammer in Beauty? We need that jammer and quickly.
Tony: We'll probably put it on in a shop in Steamboat Springs. *Tony takes a sip of his drink.* We need to figure out the frequency that cops put their EMP locks on. Skipper, anything you'd like to add?
Skipper: Those EMP devices have a 2.5 GHz frequency, that's what my dad's cars have. I don't know about his squad's cars. We would need to get steal one from an officer to get a proper reading.
Finn: Alright, that settles it. We'll stay in Steamboat for a night and install that jammer.
*Food comes and the team eats their food almost instantly after the conversation ends. Tony thanks the lady and begins to eat. Half an hour later, they pay and leave for Steamboat Springs.*
*Tony and Gia ride in the Mustang and Finn and Skipper ride in the Beast. Beauty has been having issues getting through the deeper snow. It's been to where the Beast has had to pull Beauty out of it a couple times. Beauty had been running low on fuel. She finally ran out of fuel halfway to Steamboat. They load Beauty onto the trailer and join Finn and Skipper in the Beast.*
*They finally arrive in Steamboat Springs and they decide to stay at the Steamboat Grand Hotel. They only have enough money to afford one big room.*
*Finn and Skipper get a room to themselves while Gia and Tony share the other half.*
