Moved in
Part 9

I looked around, seeing if I could find any other Black Beauties.
"Wait! Ah hah!" I realized, then backed up and hit the button on key again.
I was right. Another Black Beauty flipped up from the ground right next to the one that was already out.
"Okay….. Laptop!" I shook my head then opened my laptop. I then inserted the flash drive from my old laptop into my new one, and took out a file called SAP, "I thought you'd come in hand, SAP."
I was in a desperate rush, so I swept off the workbench and swept all the shelves looking for a cable to connect my laptop to the car.
"Wait," I stopped abruptly, then ran over to one of the Black Beauties and looked for a port in any of the pieces of equipment. I found about ten ports, none of which I was looking for, "Where is the computer that controls the remote function?"
There was only one place that I had left to look, and I didn't want to do it. Ripping off the dashboard.
"Aww man… It's too pretty…" I sighed. I remembered why I was doing this, to save Britt and Kato. I hopped out the car and looked for any sort of sharp object.
I ended up upstairs looking for a knife, or- "OoOoOo!" I spotted a katana. I grabbed it and ran back down to the garage.
I proceeded to jam the sword into the dashboard and cutting it out of the car.
"Damn! Is this made of Kevlar?" I asked jokingly. Then I realized that it most likely is made of Kevlar, which made sense to me.
After hacking at the dash for about ten minutes, I was finally able to remove it. I dug through the wires and found another connection port.
"Finally…" I sighed. Luckily for me, the wire I needed for connection was already plugged in. I plugged in my laptop and a screen popped up, showing a polygon model of the Black Beauty, "Perfect. Now… Oh, dammit Kato!"
The program was also in mandarin.
I sighed, knowing that my next few hours will be devoting myself to learning what everything means.
I spent an hour looking up how to speak mandarin, but I realized this will take me days to learn. So, I gave up. I looked at the time, which was about midnight.
"Ugh… Already?" I sighed. I didn't want to leave the garage, so I grabbed a blanket and opened up the suicide doors of the Black Beauty and sprawled my body across the back seat and slept.
I woke up at six o'clock sharp to get back to work.
I climbed out of the backseat and back into the front seat to look at the mess I've created. And after all this, I still can't understand a word of what the program says. "Oh!"
I opened up the coding and changed the code for language. I saved it and looked at what I changed. It was in English!
"Yes!" I cheered. I plugged in my flash drive and loaded SAP, "Aww, dammit."
I just remembered that this program was for a robot that had to think of where to go, not to defend itself with heavy artillery against armed men chasing it. I need to change its code. That can only mean one thing.
Coding with music. My favorite combination.
I loaded up the polygon frame into SAP and turned on "Some Chords" by deadmau5. Time to work!
After a day of programming, converting, designing, and what feels like thirty gallons of root beer, I did it. I made a self-aware car that can fight and drive by itself.
I am a genius.
I looked at the time, I tomorrow is my deadline. I ran upstairs and raided all the closets. I found one of Kato's masks, black gloves, a black flat-roofed ball cap, and a black thick-woven cotton levi jacket. I sighed.
"I can't believe I'm doing this… But… No one else will." I told myself. I threw on all the clothe items I had and looked in the mirror.
I looked badass.
" I need… A weapon." I nodded at myself. I looked around for all the weapons that I'm pretty sure they have, even though Britt said he had no guns. I ran back down to garage and looked around. What's the one place I haven't looked?
Aha! The glove box!
I ran over to the untouched Black Beauty and opened the glove box. "What the… Hell?"
A double-barreled pistol was waiting there. It was practically calling to me, so I picked it up. Heavy little sucker.
I ran back upstairs, smiling with glee, and posed stupidly in front of the mirror. Right then, the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" I yelled. I stripped myself of anything suspicious and hid them. I ran to the door and opened it. There was a skinny woman with blond hair and a pony-tail in the door, "Umm, can I help you?"
"Are you Kyle?" she asked.
"Umm, yeah. If you're looking for Britt, he's umm, occupied." I shrugged.
"I know. Oh! I haven't introduced myself," she held out her hand, "I'm Britt's secretary, Lenore Case."
I shook her hand, "Hello. Come on in."
She walked inside, "You okay?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?" I asked.
"Because I know you don't have any family besides Britt… And Britt has talked a lot about you… Can you keep a secret?" Lenore questioned. I nodded, "It has to do with Britt and Kato…."
"What is it?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Well… They are both the Green Hornet." She informed, "I figured that you'd like to know because of what's going on and stuff…"
I sighed in relief, "I can trust you too? Great!"
"Huh?"
"Britt texted me a code yesterday, and then I stumbled upon the cars. I've been planning to save them, and I have a plan in progress. Wanna see?" I eagerly asked.
"Uhm, sure?" she shakily acknowledged. I got up and motioned her to the garage, "Oh," she got up and followed.
She looked at the hurricane of a mess I caused and the torn apart Black Beauty.
"What have you done?" She looked in horror.
"They didn't really leave me a map, so I had to dig through everything. Anywho," I pointed to the Black Beauty with the dashboard torn out, "Meet SARA."
