I was bored and I thought I'd try a Knight Rider ficlit! SO I don't own Knight Rider or anything about it so no trying to sue me or whatnot!

Kitt sighed. Why did this always have to happen? It was their job Kitt knew but why did Michael have to almost always get hurt?

'Why?' Kitt wondered, moping around his CPU. He scanned Michael for what might have been the twentieth time in the past 10 minutes. Nothing had changed of course, Michael was safe in bed under observation, not just the medical staff either. He was watching as well. They had been on a simple case, guard a prisoner transferring. Neither one of them had thought someone 'in' the prison staff was defective. No one had thought twice about that.

'I should've seen him draw his gun sooner; if not for my un-alertness to what the personnel were doing this wouldn't have happened.' Kitt mentally sighed.

'No, I had to scan the area in case someone came! I had to pay attention to the prisoner! I didn't think to watch the guards as well! I should have thought of the possible chance for defection! It's my job to go over the possibilities and I failed, I failed Michael...' Kitt mentally beat himself up. His circuits jumped when Michael moved, he was awake. The comm. System rang as Michael reached for his comlink and made a connection.

"Kitt? Buddy you there?" Michael asked his voice weak and drowsy. He sounded afraid that Kitt wasn't there.

"Of course Michael." Kitt answered surprised when he heard the slight fear.

"Good...Pal, I'm sorry" Michael sighed remorsefully as he looked towards the window in his hospital room, he could barely make out Kitts scanner from his second story window.

"Michael I'd never leave you and what are you apologizing for? It was my fault!" Kitt exclaimed, guilt ridden and it showed in his voice. He looked at the window seeing Michael look right at him.

"No! It wasn't your fault. I should've thought about the chance of the guards..."Michael trailed off feeling guilty. Knowing Kitt was watching him, he felt safe knowing this.

"Michael, it's my job to go over possibilities." Kitt said softly, his driver was hurt he needed to rest.

"Michael you need to rest, we can talk about this when your better-"Michael cut him off. Looking directly at the comlink so he could get his point across.

"No, your going to beat yourself over this, I know you. We're going to end this now. Kitt you can't always tell what is going to happen, but you always come through with a solution." Michael stated pride in his voice as he smiled. Kitt just sighed guiltily.

"You brought order to the situation when I wasn't able, you saved my life...Like always, and for that Kitt I thank you. This probably won't be the last time this will happen and I wish I could say it was. But we'll get through this I swear." Michael continued smiling softly; hoping Kit understood what he meant.

"I...Think I understand Michael. Thank you, I know its part of our job but, I still feel responsible." Kitt sighed. Michael chuckled softly.

"Kitt join the club, I feel responsible too." Michael tiredly stated. It was Kitt's turn to chuckle.

"Okay Michael, now I feel you should go back to sleep." Kitt softly admonished.

"No beating yourself up?" Michael wearily asked. Looking at Kitt through his hospital window again.

"None whatsoever." Kitt answered amused. His driver was so stubborn.

"I swear, and I'll be here when you wake up." He continued a smile in his voice. As Michael looked about to make sure he was telling the truth.

"That's all I can ask of you..." Michael trailed off smiling as he fell back asleep.

"Goodnight Michael." Kitt whispered, shutting down for the night, feeling better.
