Chapter 9

Figures in the Darkness

Nora looked around the city as they went. Her position in the front seat didn't suit her purpose, not one bit. She would look behind them and cringe.

"He's gaining." Nora yelped as Goliaths bumper connected with KITTs rear.

"I'm afraid your going to be going in the cosmetics shop again KITT."

"I don't care as long as...wait...you've given me an idea. Hold on." KITT veered left connecting with a wire fence and through a recycling plant. Cans scattered all over the place as KITT knocked a bunch of debris for Goliath. In an effort to slow him down. It worked...for a while. But KARR finally just started to barral through them.

"I can't keep this up for much longer." KITT announced

"Then stop...let me out. I'll stall him." Nora said. KITT however didn't. Nora growled. "Stubborn car." Nora yelled. apparently she thought calling KITT a car was a insult. Nora steered the wheel to the left and through a wall. Goliath however didn't see where they had disappeared to. Nora looked at 302. "

Take Michael to the hospital. I'll hold Garthe and KARR off." Nora turned around 302 grabbed her hand. "

No...leave it to me." she whispered. Nora shook her head.

"No...take care of my brothers okay." Nora said. 302 revved her motorcycle.

"Follow me KITT." 302 said. Nora kissed the top of KITTs car.

"I'll be fine. Protect Michael." Nora said and turned running.

Nora ran from her hiding place just as Goliath crashed through a wall. Nora yelled to Garth.

"Whats the matter Garth? Can't fight me on your own...you have to get a 10 ton Behemoth to do it for you?" Nora yelled teasing him. Goliath powered down and Garth stepped out of the cabin.

"You dare taunt me?" He growled. Nora smiled.

"No...I'm making fun of you. Theres a difference." Nora laughed. Garth growled and jumped down from the steps and to the ground. He stalked toward Nora. Nora looked up at him. He was to tall for her liking. She grabbed a piece of already ripped into can and threw it at him and ran. To her delight he followed. Leaving Goliath by himself. Nora ran into another room where the machines stood, exposed.

"You can't run forever Nora. I'll find you, and when I do...I'll kill you."

"Aww and I thought we were becoming great friends." Nora taunted again.

"You bitch!" He yelled and pulled her by her hair toward him putting his arm around her neck while the other pulled out a gun. Nora gasped and struggled. She stepped back and flipped him over her shoulders. She shot rang out clipping into one of the machines turning them on. Nora gasped in pain as she fell onto her broken leg wrong. It popped out of place again and she crumbled to the ground as the stray bullet connected with her side. She screamed in pain.

"Should I stand here and watch you die...or shall I finish you off. If you agree to stay by my side...I can save you." Garth nealed down next to her letting his lips trail hers. Nora growled.

"Go to hell." Nora whispered. Garth slapped her.

"You first." He spat and pushed the gun into her gut.

"Now say...good bye." "Good bye!" Something sailed through the air and emitted a blinding white light. Garth was pushed back into an exposed machine. A yell peirced the night. Nora was shaking.

"She's in shock." KITTs voice echoed. Nora couldn't see, she felt tears running down her cheek. But she wasn't sure if she was crying, or the white light hurting her eyes did it.

"Hang on Nora. I've got you." 302s voice echoed in her ears. She felt someone lift her up and onto something comfortable. The smell was familiar.

"KITT...?" The white blinding light disappeared. She didn't remember anything else that night
