Chapter 5: Kidnapped

Monday, November 29, 1982

Hargon Industries Warehouse

03:15

K.A.R.R. was complete, his new windows arrived yesterday afternoon and Alex stayed up fitting and installing them.

The grown gem is frosty-transparent in its natural state. With a negative DC polarity, the gem becomes crystal clear. With a positive DC current, the gem can get dark as limo privacy glass.

"K.A.R.R., I have sent you the new K1200 alpha specifications sheet. You should enter this data into the WEAST program. This way it can accurately assess damage calculations."

"I will get right on it. When do you have to head out for work."

"Not sure, I'm on instate status. Meaning that I'm working in the states for the next six months. This is in their contract with me so I have time to work on projects. The one I'm working on this time is armor for an army Bell 222A Medevac chopper.

At this very moment, I'm working on upgrading my field weapon."

K.A.R.R. did not get a chance to ask what gun Alex carried, because the phone started ringing.

Alex picks up the phone "I.N.D.E.X." He stays silent listening to the caller.

K.A.R.R. tried to access the call but was blocked by encryption on the phone that read level 3.

K.A.R.R. discovered that a level 3 out of 5 was used by deployed captains and first officers.

"You can tell your officer I'm on it, but do not make any promises."

Alex hung up the phone. "K.A.R.R. get dressed, we are going out. A.R.I.A. no one is allowed in the server room except Trix while I'm gone. If the phone rings, use the code book to direct their calls. I will have K.A.R.R. call you directly if we need anything."

Alex left the room through a door near the semi-sized garage door. K.A.R.R. checked over his weapons, hardware, and systems all looked in order.

Alex came back into the hanger wearing slightly bulky denim jeans, bulky black T-shirt and a heavy Iraq camo sand colored jacket.

Getting into K.A.R.R. Alex put a small sand camo thin duffel bag on the passenger seat.

They drove out of the section of the building to the fueling station. Alex filled K.A.R.R.'s 8.5gal GLP and his 2.0lb LH2 tank.

Even with the smaller tank, adding a liquid Hydrogen tank and adding weight with the armaments. K.A.R.R. got 62 to 78 miles per gallon.

Where K.I.T.T. is lighter and has a different engine getting according to his spec sheet 85 to 93 miles per gallon with a 12.5gal GLP tank.

It took them only 6hrs to drive 600 miles and refuel once they got to the location of their mission.

In that time K.A.R.R. got the details from Alex and looked at the police reports A.R.I.A. collected.

The daughter of a navy soldier, age 10, was kidnapped 3 days ago. Alex did not get the report until today because the destroyer sailors have com rotations every 6 days.

The father's rotation came up and his wife told him his little girl was missing.

Alex backs K.A.R.R. into the driveway of the soldier's house. "K.A.R.R., keep a look out but no weapons unless I say so. I trust you with full access to your offensive and defensive weapons, do not break that trust."

"I have researched the benefits of equal trust. I will not let you down"

"That is appreciated." Alex got out of K.A.R.R., closed his door and approached the house.

Ringing the doorbell, a woman answers the door. "Who are you?"

"My name is Alex. I have been sent by your husband's navy captain. I'm what you could call a private investigator working for the navy."

"I have already talked to NCIS and state police about this several times."

"I just need to ask some questions, I have read the report and need things clarified."

"Ok, what do you need?"

"I could use a photo of Margaret from before her growth spurt."

Mrs. Tailer gave Alex a confused look. "Ok, you can look at a photo but I do not have extras to give out. I only made copies of what she looks like now."

She went into the house then came out with a large photocopy and a photo album.

Handing Alex the photocopy and opening the album to a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Tailer with young Margaret smiling and laughing.

"Mrs. Tailer, I would like to see that for a minute. I promise to give it back.

She took the photo from the sleeve and handed it to Alex. Alex took the photos, headed back to K.A.R.R. and held the family photo in front of his amber scanner.

"Get a detailed scan of this photo please."

The scanner light moves slightly faster as K.A.R.R. scans the image multiple times.

"I have it Alex"

Alex hands the photo back to Mrs. Tailer. "That is all I need. Here is my card call if anything comes up."

Mrs. Tailer had a very confused expression on her face as Alex got in the burgundy red Trans-Am

On the way to the police station K.A.R.R. had to ask. "I do not understand why we need a photo of young Margaret."

"K.A.R.R., use only the image recognition program and tell me how old you think Margaret is in that photo."

K.A.R.R. scanned the image ignoring the other information he had on the girl. "She looks to be about 6 years old."

"Yes, she does but the back of the photo was dated 4 months ago. Now in the photocopy Mrs. Tailer is handing out."

"That cannot be right, my image program shows she is around 16 to 17 years old."

"That is my point, we have been looking at patterns of kidnappers that steal kids and not teenagers. It is possible the nappers took Margaret to be a teenage girl. K.A.R.R. pull up the file I sent to F.L.A.G about a spring of teenage kidnapping the police have not been able to solve.

"Ok, I get it, we are looking into the wrong pattern of kidnappings."

Kidnapped Sights

12:14

Alex was driving K.A.R.R. around the sight of the kidnaping and the prowling zone of the teen nappers.

"K.A.R.R. scan for every CCTV camera that can see this two-block radius. The suspects use 4 different vehicles. The vehicle we are looking for is a rust red wagon that is low key stock."

After going to several kidnap sights K.A.R.R. picked up a pattern of Cold-Rock spring rain tires. At one of the sights the vehicle buried a clear image of the tires into the pavement.

With the imprint, K.A.R.R. calculates the size, tread left, and weight of the vehicle.

Using this information, he looked through all video footage he could find for the days of kidnappings.

13:46

"I have something Alex, the two vehicles I have identified from tire tread patterns lead to a mechanic shop in the country."

"Let's go, switch to Auto Cruise and once we get close go to silent mode."

K.A.R.R. was 10 minutes from the shop when he switches to low V6X8 mode. Alex could still hear the sound of K.A.R.R.'s tires on the road. 3 minutes from the shop.

"K.A.R.R. change U-Tracks to semi soft slicks." The ride height of the Trans-Am lower ever so slightly and the noise of the tires disappeared.

"Pull into the blind spot of the building K.A.R.R."

K.A.R.R. parked at an angle to the back of the shop and the parking spaces.

Alex grabbed his bag and clipped it around his chest as he exits K.A.R.R.

Reaching into a side pocket of the bag he pulls out a Javelina 10mm looking pistol. Holding the gun in his right hand concealing it in his jacket.

Alex enters the shop and goes up to the service desk. "What can I do for you?"

"You severed a utility vehicle recently with a set of Cold-Rock tires."

"Yes, we did new brakes and tires."

"I need the invoice for that work with the brand, size and manufacturer date of the replaced tires. If you still have them, the old tires from the vehicle."

"What is this about and don't you need a warrant?"

"I'm going to stop you there. I do not need a warrant to request documentation of service completed. If you are worried about customer information you could black it out."

The owner came over, printed out a grainy copy of a work order then used a marker to black out the person's info.

Alex got a glimpse of the name which was definitely fake. It said Dusty Crossfield which was a cross road.

The man took Alex to the out building full of tires. "Be my guest looking for a set of tires we changed days ago."

Soon as the man left Alex spoke into his wrist comlink. "K.A.R.R. come to my location incognito. I need help searching these used tires for the kidnapper's vehicle."

K.A.R.R. pulled round the building silently with his windows all tinted black.

K.A.R.R. was scanning the stack of used tires as Alex got in. "K.A.R.R. use your fax scanner to look over this work order. Make sure it is for the vehicle we are looking for and I'm guessing that the name on this form is fake. See if you can pull the phone number, they would need one to know when their vehicle is done."

K.A.R.R. checks the name anyway and finds that it is the name of a crossroad two streets down. The phone number had the same name registered but the phone company shows it is a landline.

"I found the tires. They are on the far right third stack in, at the bottom."

Alex opens K.A.R.R.'s center console to pull out a pair of gloves. Getting out he walks over to the 27-stack of tires.

"I can pull that down with one of my spike lines"

"No need, I got this."

K.A.R.R. was scanning Alex when he grabbed the inner rim of the tire. Alex's body temperature went from its higher than normal 102F to 115F as he pulled the tire out of the stack.

K.A.R.R. calculated the force needed and it came out to 214lb.

"K.A.R.R. Is this one of the tires?"

"Yes, Alex, that is one of the tires. It looks like the tread wore down to the belts."

Alex pulled out the rest of the tires, only two of the tires matched the impressions K.A.R.R. found.

"Alex, a black Chevy Caprice with Fed plate, is pulling up to the front of the shop."

"What kind of Feds?"

"According to my audio receptors the men introduced themselves as NCIS agents. The owner has just told them that another Fed came in looking for tires they change. The men are coming this way."

"K.A.R.R. turn off your engine and switch to normal mode."

K.A.R.R. shut off his engine, un-tinted windows, and set his U-Tracks to summer tread.

"Alter plate to the NSA registered one." K.A.R.R. flipped his plate from KARR to KNI 663

Two men in NCIS jackets and carrying Smith & Wesson 459 in holders approached Alex.

They just glanced at K.A.R.R. to see that no one was in the Trans-Am and noted the plate number.

"What can I do for gentlemen?"

"NCIS agent Tide and this is agent Withers."

"Well, it is a good thing you are here but it is too late the criminals changed tires so tracking them from previous information is useless. Do not worry, I was just leaving."

Alex opens K.A.R.R.'s door but before he could close it. "Wait, what is your name?"

"Busy." Closing the door Alex pushed Manual Mode and drove away.

"How is the tracking on the new set of tires the kidnappers bought?"

"That is impossible, this remote shop only sells 3 different brands of tires. There are thousands of similar tread patterns in all directions. I have tracked the location of the phone number to a landline."

"Pull up directions, change to V6X8-270, I'm driving."

K.A.R.R. reconfigures his engine to run on 6 cylinders at 270 horsepower and tunes the torque automatically.

Alex races K.A.R.R. down the back roads at 125MPH. The independent suspension and the impact mitigator that K.A.R.R.'s adaptive wheels have. Provides a smooth ride.

Suspect's house

18:14

K.A.R.R. was in stealth mode making all his windows, fog lights, turn signals, and main scanner lens black out.

They had been staking out the farm house for 2hr, 46m, and 13s. Every 10m Alex had K.A.R.R. un-tint his main scanner to check the building. They need video and audio evidence to arrest the crooks.

K.A.R.R. just finished his scan when a message came from A.R.I.A. that he was receiving a level 3 encrypted call from Black Bishop.

"Put him through" Something must have happened for Mr. Miles to call him.

Mr. Miles sounds concerned about the possibility that K.A.R.R.'s stolen main guns were being used to rob banks.

Quickly going over the FBI report, K.A.R.R. noted that a Mr. Knight driving a black Trans-Am with the plates spelling KNIGHT was on the case.

Mr. Miles told K.A.R.R. that a Kase bank truck had been shot up and the bullets had passed through the truck's armor.

From Mr. Miles's description of the two robberies they are deftly dealing with one or both of his stolen weapons. These rifles with the proper ammo can shoot through a tank.

"Mr. Miles, I advise you to be careful. Even with inadequate ammo this could pose a threat to K.I.T.T."

"What kind of threat?"

K.A.R.R. muted Mr. Miles "A.R.I.A. get me the latest specs you have on my younger brother, The Knight Industries Two Thousand."

"On it, K.A.R.R."

The blueprint specs A.R.I.A. found for him was from Nov. 24, 1982.

K.A.R.R. looked over the blueprint and made a separate profile for WEAST. Simulating the rifle shooting K.I.T.T.'s current armor configuration. Using data based on the description of Vanadium coated lead and brass.

Lead would turn into a liquid as it exited the barrel but the brass held together.

WEAST calculated yellow damage to K.I.T.T.'s black metal MBS1 armor. A yellow would only indicate minor damage like dents in the metal.

What was bad was the red/black damage to K.I.T.T. 's windows. Red is heavy damage to armor and sequential shots in the area could lead to a compromised structure.

Black damage means a weapon has an above 85% chance of punching a hole through the structure.

K.A.R.R. unmuted Mr. Miles. "Mr. Miles I have just looked over K.I.T.T.'s armor and there is a high probability that his windows will not hold up to this weapon"

"That is quite unnerving. How certain are you?"

"93%"

The line was silent for 173s and would have continued, if a police report of a kidnapping.

"I have to go Mr. Miles."

"Alex there is a report of a brown utility van snatching a kid at the superstore in town."

"Continue scanning the house and look for the route that the brown van is taking. Let me know if you can find its getaway point and current location."

K.A.R.R. did what Alex asked looking through CCTV cameras which took 15-minute clips then took 20 more minutes to appear on the slow server for viewing.

Going back an hour K.A.R.R. look for the van traveling to the superstore.

It took him 5 minutes to find the footage with the van snatching the kid at the store, then waited 30 minutes to get footage after the police lost the van.

"I have the van's location from 2 minutes and 31s ago. With a projected route of its path."

Alex put K.A.R.R. in reverse, turning toward the location of the blinking dot on the map.

K.A.R.R. was about to give Alex their calculated intercept of 15 minutes when he pressed the Evasion Mode button.

The Trans-Am rear spooler's angle changes, mirrors folded into the doors, and downwards dynamic airfoils fold out. The engine reconfigures itself to V8X8-346.

Alex pushes the pedal to the floor. All four wheels made two complete rotations before K.A.R.R. can adapt them to the ground's surface.

K.A.R.R. recalculates their intercept to 3 minutes, but again Alex does something to shorten their time.

"K.A.R.R. calculate Turbo-boost jump."

"Jump calculated."

Instead of pulling back the three pairs of buttons behind the wheel. He pushed them forward.

K.A.R.R.'s front end lifts and rockets him over the onramp onto the highway. Landing Alex pulls all six boost kicker switches.

K.A.R.R. rockets forward, coming up behind a speeding brown Chevy van in 0.8s. Releasing the switch before plowing into the van.

"Get me x-ray, thermal and layout of the van."

"I have two adults, one driving and the other in the back. The kid's vitals indicate she is unconscious but ok."

"K.A.R.R. say this."

Using his exterior vocalizer. "Federale agencies Pull over." K.A.R.R. said in his deep bone chilling voice.

The back door of the van opens and the man fires a semi-automatic rifle at K.A.R.R.

Round spark as they bounce off the burgundy armorer and just make a *ping* noise as they glance off the windscreen.

He seemed to get that shooting at the car was not working so he shot at K.A.R.R.'s tires.

That will not work, the U-Tracks are made of a solid compound that allows it to adapt and makes it able to take heavy weapon's fire with no problem.

"Pull over, this is your final warning" K.A.R.R. announced."

"K.A.R.R., what is the structural integrity of the rear bumper of the van?"

"It looks sound."

"Good, calculate the force needed to punch through that steel bumper."

Alex changes the weapon switch to Shock-Lines and selects electricity off, cable on.

"Done"

Alex presses down both buttons on top of the steering yoke. In 1.02s the center fog lights rotate out of the way and two water drop shaped silver spires launch.

The spires with cables attached, punch 6-inch diameter holes into the rear bumper of the van.

"Expand hooks and gradually apply braking to the cable when I let go of the button.

Alex let go off one button at a time until the cables were tight from K.A.R.R. to the van. He then let off the accelerator making the van struggle to pull the Trans-Am.

"K.A.R.R. take over, slow us down gradually, we do not want to hurt the girl with whiplash."

Once the van was dragged gradually to stop and the van's engine gave out from the men trying to pull K.A.R.R.

"Get out of the vehicle, lay down on the ground and put your hand behind your head." The two men did so as Alex stepped out of K.A.R.R.

Alex walks to each man and ties their hands and feet with plastic cuffs from his bag.

Alex retrieved the unconscious kid from the van and placed her in K.A.R.R.'s right front passenger seat.

Turning to the men after closing K.A.R.R.'s door. "Where are the other kids you took and what did you give that girl?"

"We are not saying anything, I want a lawyer."

"Ok, K.A.R.R. record this. You two are under arrest for multiple kidnappings, resisting arrest and shooting at federal agents. You have the right to remain silent, anything can and will be used against you in court."

One of the men decides to blab. "We did not know you were Feds and we found the girl alone and she was crying so we gave something to sleep and…."

"Shut up!" The other man tried to kick his big mouth friend but the ties on his legs prevented it.

"That is all right, where were you taking her tonight?"

"We have a house 7 miles from her off the highway."

"Shut up, I should have never brought you, one of the others would have been better."

"Are they expecting you back soon?"

"Yes, but I don't think all 8 of them will miss us, just 3."

"Which 3?" Alex asked as the man who requested a lawyer struggled to shut up his friend as the sound of police sirens sound from behind K.A.R.R. The big mouth must have heard the sirens because he now said "Lawyer."

"Very well if you both want lawyers then there is nothing more. Retract cables and Normal Mode."

K.A.R.R. collapses the hooks on the end of the spire and reels the Shock-Lines back into his frame. The fog lights go back to normal, mirrors fold out, airfoils above his windscreens folded back onto the roof.

The rear spoiler goes back to its stock looking locked position and K.A.R.R. switches his engine back to V6X8-270.

"If you have not, change your plate too." K.A.R.R. flips his license plate to KNI 663

Alex waits next to K.A.R.R. with his NSA badge in his hand for the marked and unmarked law enforcement vehicles to arrive.

The first to approach Alex, who had their guns raised, was the group of NCIS agents.

The boss of the group took Alex's badge out of his hand and stepped away from him to look at it.

"NSA special secrets agent Hargon. I have been told by my director to treat you like a shadow or something I can see in the corner of my eye but is not there."

"That is great to hear, if you would be willing to return this little girl to her parents and hand back my badge. I will be like a shadow and move out of the spotlight."

Alex walked over to K.A.R.R.'s right passenger seat to help the now conscious girl out. "[K.A.R.R. make me a cassette of our encounter with the van up to NCIS showing up.]"

The *whirring* of tape and a cassette ejected from the video recorder under the center monitor.

Alex closed the door and walked around K.A.R.R. with the girl and tape. Handing both over to the NCIS. "This should be enough to hold these men."

Alex drove around the van and police vehicles heading in the same direction the van was traveling.

"K.A.R.R. look through city and county records for a building 5 to 8 miles from where we stopped the van."

"I contacted A.R.I.A. and she found a building that received a permit for a new septic and water well 3 years ago. I will mark it on the map, it is 5.6 miles from here."

Alex accelerates from 55mph to 146mph, the traffic was low heading out of the city at 20:06

Pulling off the highway they found themselves heading down a long dirt road. The road was super dark without lights. "K.A.R.R. It is likely this road is watched by the other kidnappers. Switch to stealth mode and find a way to approach the building from another angle."

K.A.R.R. turns off his lights and tints his windows. He scanned the area with a thermal night vision overlay to see brush and animals. K.A.R.R. also utilized a prototype echolocation sensor that read the sounds his tires made on the gravel.

"I cannot find an alternative route that will not make more noise than this one."

"Ok stop"

K.A.R.R. stopped moving and Alex took off his jacket and turned it inside out to reveal it was midnight blue on the inside. Taking things out of his bag to put in his jacket pockets.

"I'm scouting ahead, make sure the door light does not come on."

K.A.R.R. did not have time to say anything because Alex opens the door, closes it behind him and disappears into the dark.

Alex blended with the dark so well K.A.R.R. could not see him but could hear him with the echolocation sensor only.

Alex moved away from K.A.R.R. and headed over the hill to the left of the road. Over the hill he jumped the 5-foot fence and put his back to the wall next to the side door of the house.

"They are late, we cannot get shown up by that other group."

"We have already been over this that ground take young girls for slave trading we do it for fun."

"[K.A.R.R. make some noises for a distraction.]"

The sound of sirens and K.A.R.R.'s deep voice came over the hill. "Federal agents, you are surrounded, come out with your hands empty and in the air."

The large fat man with a shotgun did not get far out of the side door when Alex grabbed his arm with the gun and twisted it back. His arm made a *snapping* noise and he dropped the gun. Alex had the man's hands tied behind his back before he hit the ground.

Alex ducks into the house, raises his gun and shoots a blue burst of light from the Javelina looking handgun. The burst hit a muscle-man in the chest sending him flying backwards into the doorway to a kitchen.

One man had a gun in his hand and was raising it to shoot when Alex took aim and shot his hand. The burst snapped the man's hand back sending the gun flying across the room. The man sank to his knees and cried as he cradled his broken wrist.

Alex ducks behind a sofa and pulls the slide back on his gun. Ejecting a hot depleted power cell. Releasing the slide, it snapped back with a new cell loaded.

The sound of more men coming to investigate the commotion in the house.

"[K.A.R.R. where are you now?]"

"In the front yard scanning for the children. There is a man with a MP5, fully loaded with 10mm auto rounds."

"Disable any vehicle they can use to get away. The men were talking about another group of kidnappers, we need to question them, use 10mm soft cork rounds."

The man with the MP5 started spraying bullets around the room.

Alex grabs the leg of the couch-bed, lifts it off the ground and tosses it across the room at man. The man jumps back behind the door as the couch wedges itself in the doorway.

Alex heard the man ram his shoulder in the couch trying to force it out of the doorway. A *click* of the man dropping the magazine and *clicking* sounds from the other room.

"This is your only warning, unload your weapon and toss it over the couch."

Bullets started coming through the bottom of the couch.

Alex *clicks* his gun from 2:1 to 1:1, aims at the couch and pulls the trigger.

2:1 will shoot two bursts per cell and will knock a full-grown man across the room onto his ass. 1:1 could tear the wheel and suspension knuckle assembly off a car.

The blue energy burst hit the bottom of the couch sending the door frame, couch and man down the hall through a bedroom window.

Pulling the slide back Alex ejected the spent cell. Before heading to look for the other men he *clicks* the gun back to 2:1.

"K.A.R.R. kill the light in the house." All the lights and appliances went out in the house making it completely pitch black.

"What, who turned out the lights and my flashlight does not even work?"

Alex came up behind the two men, kicked the back of their legs and cuffing them.

"I have taken 6. What about you?"

"I got one who tried to escape over the hill."

"Good, call our NCIS friends and state police to collect these guys. Did you find the captives?"

"Yes, they are being held in a walled off section of the cellar. The entrance is under the bedroom floor. The one you sent that guy out the window."

Alex saw K.A.R.R.'s lights as he pulled up just outside the window to the bedroom. "K.A.R.R., are there any traps or men down this hole?"

Alex watches the amber scanner on his upper grill go back and forth at a slightly higher speed as he deep scans the cellar with multiple filters.

"I detect no explosive traps or adults in the cellar. I will send my line up to help with the hatch."

Alex grabs the bed and flips it out the window with little effort. Taking a hold of the large iron padlock he pulled it up. The wood *creeks* and the whole shackle ring riveted to the floor breaks free. Alex whips his left hand back and the lock assembly sails down the hall and through the wall, landing in the yard.

"What was that?" Alex looks back at the perfect outline hole the lock made in the wall. "Nothing."

K.A.R.R. was going over the information he had on Alex and the strange things he can do. The first thing he noticed is that Alex seemed to be stronger than a man with a slim build. There was that his body temperature never got below 102F and goes up when he does something beyond human. K.A.R.R. went through his database of humans with supernatural powers but nothing fit. He will wait for Alex to tell him this was their first mission together.

"K.A.R.R., did you call the Feds and police?"

"Yes, they should be here in 20 minutes." K.A.R.R. could not help make a comment. "Their inadequate vehicle will not let them get here as fast as I…. we got here."

"That is ok, as long as they are on their way. Do you know if EMTs are coming too?"

"Yes, three ambulances and the NCIS ME van are fowling behind the convoy of cruisers."

"That is good. Are any of the children in need of metal now?"

K.A.R.R. scans the vitals of all 6 children. None of them were bruised, dehydrated or any other problem that living in a cellar would need care.

"There are no immediate medical concerns I can detect."

One of the kids came up to K.A.R.R. and put their dirty hand on his hood near his scanner.

"Who are you?" K.A.R.R. was silent, he did not know if he was allowed to talk to random people. His existence was not highly classified but throughout this mission Alex told him to be in Normal Mode.

"K.A.R.R., you can introduce yourself to the children. I'm going to collect the crooks and tie them to the horse tie ring I saw in the front yard."

"Your name is car? That is a strange name."

"Look, children." K.A.R.R. made his windows crystal clear and turned on his interior lights. They came over and pressed their faces to K.A.R.R.'s door windows looking for a man. Some started pulling on his door handles but he kept them locked.

Alex did not tell him to let the children inside and they were not in any danger. "No, you cannot enter, I was showing you that I'm not a man with a deep voice."

"What are you then?"

"I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot, an Artificial Intelligence housed inside this vehicle. You can all call me K.A.R.R."

"Cool, how do you see if you are a robot car?"

"In the front I see from that amber light bar."

"What is amber?"

"It is a color of yellow. Now as for seeing around me I have small cameras embedded in my panels."

Again, Alex did something inhuman by walking up to him without tripping any of his seniors. "Alex could you not do that?"

"Sorry K.A.R.R. I'm just being cautious, the other man said there were 8 other men and we only have 7."

K.A.R.R. was angry with himself. He went through dozens of Alex's unredacted mission reports and tactics. The one he should have been paying attention to was if there was an unaccounted for enemy. Do not give away your passion in the dark by turning on a light.

K.A.R.R. could not stop the man with the high-powered long-range rifle from shooting Alex in the back. What he would do was shoot back.

QN: Fans of the TV show. What do you think K.A.R.R.'s alternative license plate should be? The KARR plate I use as his civilian disguise. When it's run by law enforcement or criminals with DMV access.

My question is what should his NSA plate be? If you do know how I came up with his NSA license plate let me know. Did anyone get my references to another TV show?
