In one part of the world, an agency was discussing a lost agent.

"Did you hear?"

"It finally happened... After all those successes..."

"A failure after all this time."

"Our best agent... Rest in peace Jim."

"We recovered his car. What should we do with it?"

"Send it to the scrapyard. Make sure no one finds it... It could cause some trouble for our organization..."



A month later, in a junkyard, a local resident is cleaning up some old car. That was his job. The restoration and resell of whatever cars he got his hands on. He then sold them cheap, yet making an amazing profit.

"And wax and polish. Next!"


In a week, an out of town resident comes by, looking for a deal. A lawyer, with a typical business critique and attitude. Nothing special, with average wage, average personality and an average lifestyle. Almost considered boring and satisfied by his peers, he is not up for adventure.



Upon buying his car, he left, and jumped on the toll way towards his home city.

On the way, he found a puzzle on the dash, attached to the glovebox. He had to open a secret compartment to access it, but after that he solved the puzzle quickly. He tends to solve logic puzzles in his spare time. This gave him access to another compartment, which had a lock on it. With the keys to the car he also received another set, which opened the lock. Suddenly several things happened at once:

The windshield turned into a display screen.

A screen with a picture of a hologram on it said "Hello Jim Crowley, enter your pin."

The radio controls flipped around revealing a new set of controls.

The glovebox flipped open revealing an assortment of weapons.

The sun visor/ mirror on the passenger side flipped down revealing an array of buttons of different colors.

Then, the electronic voice said "No password entered. Activating retinal scan."

The other sun visor popped down, laser scanning his eyes.

"Correct pattern detected. Hello."

"What? Must just be old. Should probably get it out of this strange mode."

He pressed the button on the visor that looks like a return button.

"Auto pilot engaged. Where to?"

He gave his address. Then the pressed the black button, in an attempt to turn it off.

Oil spilled out of his car, sending the van behind him off the edge of the bridge.

Suddenly, mini guns popped out of the sides of the car. "Target detected. Firing."

And they shot!

In desperation, he pressed the red button. Two homing missiles shot out the front, circling each other before splitting off and heading opposite ways, one left one right, both hitting the sides of the vehicles in front of him. The explosion sent them flying over the edges. He pressed the white button and the car activated turbo, going almost rocket speed. Each slope downward didn't effect the car, it just kept going straight. 

Upon nearing his destination, he started to worry. The car didn't slow down. Last second it slowed, then turned left drifting and spinning his way up the driveway, careening into the garage.

"Uh oh," he said. "It's going to be a long month."
