CHAPTER EIGHT

Garth slammed his fist on a table. "Damn!"

"We are wasting time here, Mr. Knight," said Samuel, losing his patience, "you no longer have a choice to accept your mission."

"I am not amused."

"Oh I don't expect you to be." A voice said through a speakerphone. "Mr. Knight, we have all come to the end of our ropes with you. You've been resurrected from your grave, given immense strength for a 57-year-old man, and yet you think you can just go and amble around and do whatever you want? I don't think so."

"Who is this?" Garth asked. "I have no time for these stupid games!" he said, standing up.

"Sit your ass back in that chair." The voice said, more angrily this time.

Garth remained standing, but did not leave the room.

"Garth, you have a new objective. I want the Foundation as much as you do, and this plan is fool proof, and if we can reach our objective, then we will have the Knight Foundation and the United States Government exactly where we want them!"

"The government is no objective of mine. I would rather see my brother's head ripped off."

The voice on the other end laughed. "You and me both, Mr. Knight. But if we go after him, the Foundation will know it's us. I'd rather play mind games, because when you are in your enemy's mind, you can do the greatest damage of all…"

"You are playing mind games with me, and I do not appreciate it."

"Well I do not appreciate you sticking on your puny vendetta and not cooperating you pathetic imitation!" the voice screamed, causing the speakerphone to shake on the table.

Garth charged the table and screamed at the speakerphone. "I am not the copy! Do not EVER forget that! My image was stolen from me, and given to that… that two bitted imposter!"

"I'm not... Never mind. Are you ready to cooperate?"

Garth threw his chair across the room and it smashed through a glass.

"I assume that's a yes." The voice said.

"That's a NO!." Garthe said, leaving the room.

Samuel waited a few seconds before he spoke. "Do you want to initiate cellular destruction?"

"No," the voice replied, "pack up shop, he's on his own. He'll soon see what it's like to be flying solo. He failed the first two times. Now that he has left us, he will fail yet again." There was a click and then a dial-tone.

Charles Graiman was sitting behind his desk, sipping a cup of coffee and trying to unwind. He looked up as he heard the door open and shut.

Mike rounded the corner. He had obviously let herself in. "How is KITT?" he asked.

"I finished the work on the body… I believe that the Memory Part is coming along well. Have a seat."

"Good… How long?"

"I think about 17 Hours…"

They both looked over as Sarah let herself into the office. "Well, good news and bad news."

"Lay the good news on us." Mike said.

"The good news is, KITT is back in shape and repaired."

"That's good." Charles said.

"What's the bad?" asked Mike.

"I found out why KITT is unresponsive. When Goliath nailed KITT, the CPU was exposed to lots of electrical fluxes and pressure, they have corrupted his memory and parts of his program. KITT is in there, somewhere, but in pieces."

"I'll be right there…" said Charles getting up.

"It's not that simple, dad, You are not the person who configured KITT's systems, you just developed the technology … I need someone who has configured the systems…."

"Is there anyone around who knows?" asked Mike.

"Yes" said Charles, "From 1982-1990, when it was Devon and Michael, there was always a technician who worked on KITT. I don't know where they are today."

"Who are they?"Mike asked.

Graiman typed on his computer. "There were two technicians. Bonnie Barstow and April Curtis. April Curtis was only with FLAG for a year, it was Bonnie for the rest of the time. April was killed in a car accident in 1995. Bonnie Barstow… is currently living in Portland, Oregon."

"That's not too far, we have to get her here." Said Sarah.

"Work on it. Do whatever it takes to get her here." Mike ordered.

Sarah nodded and left the room in a hurry.

"Until then, I'll see what I can do…" said Charles walking out of the office as well.
