Seeing the tunnel at the end of all these lights

Speeding down the street and away from the hospital, The Super Awesome Gymnast Detective Squad(minus Gael Mackie, who had gone back to Canada � and plus Tessa who had ditched her casts) were in furious pursuit of Nastia�s hiding place. Carly had phoned Papa Liukin, and he had told her that Nastia had not returned from the private training camp she said she was going to with Marta Karolyi. The girls were putting all their bets on Nastia still being in town.
If she wasn�t, they wouldn�t know where to look for her. With the Liukin family Mastercard, she could disappear to anywhere in the world.
Carly tried phoning Nastia�s mobile for the twentieth time.
�Damnit�there�s still no answer. Do you think she knows we�re on to her?� Carly said.
Tessa started crying in the backseat.
�Now she�s never going to make the national team!� she sobbed.
�Umm�Nastia�s an evil villain who assaults people, and you�re worried about her rank?!� Carly shouted.
�Yeah�maybe she�s gone bad as a person, but she�s still a good gymnast. And I soooo have posters of her up on the walls at home!� Tessa said, and wiped a tear from her eye.

The car cruised around the town for a while, until the sun fell from the sky.
�Whoooa! Was that an earthquake? And where did the light go?� Alicia asked.
�Ooops�sorry. Bit of a brainfart there. I�ll put it back up in a moment.� Shawn replied, with an embarrassed smile.

People were panicking in the streets because they thought the world was ending, and looting was already going on. SUDDENLY Alicia had to slam on the brakes. Nastia had run out in front of the car!
At least it looked a bit like her. With a big flowery hawaiian shirt, black sunglasses, and a cowboy hat, they couldn�t be sure. But when the girl in question saw them and started running in the opposite direction, they knew it was indeed little miss Liukin.
�Jeeeeesus, what is she wearing? I think we need to have a chat about fashion once we catch her...� Carly said.
Alicia tore the door off of the car and ran after Nastia.
�Come �ere, you little kneewrecker!� she screamed and sprinted down a backalley.
Carly jumped in the driver�s seat and reversed the car back up the street they had been driving down.
As she did a handbrake turn and sped off around the block, she prayed that she would make it in time.
Before she knew it, someone came running out from a side street. In a matter of seconds, there was a loud bang and the windshield shattered. The airbag knocked Carly out momentarily, but it wasn�t long before she was conscious again. As she exited the car, she saw Alicia on the sidewalk, straddling the torso of a badly bruised Nastia, who now had her body shape engraved into the front hood of their rental car.
�Shiiiite�we�re probably not going to get the deposit back for this one.� Carly said, and walked over to Alicia.
Shawn and Tessa were playing barbies next to the smashed car.
�No, I didn�t get Barbie�s Dreamhouse for Christmas, I just got a stupid low beam for the living room.� Tessa said, and made Ken kiss Barbie.
�Wait, don�t do that, Ken has herpes!� Shawn said, and tore Ken�s head off as she tried to grab him from Tessa.
�Oh my God, Shawn�are you sure you�re not a boy? You play like one!� Tessa said and pouted.

They could hear sirens approaching in the distance. Carly was strangely relieved, knowing that the attacker had finally been caught. Even if it meant that her best friend would have to go to jail.

�Nastia, why did you do it?� she whispered to herself, as the ambulance appeared around the corner.
