Thanks again StormDracona! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
"Karr, we have to tell the Foundation what you know," Karen said, returning to the bench. "The only way C-man is going to get arrested is if you tell them what you told me."
"Are you sure? Isn't there another way? If they find out I'm still alive they will deactivate me and I won't be able to stop them. I mean look at me, I'm in no condition to fight back!" Karr replied, his voice getting louder, panic setting in. "What's to stop them, they didn't believe me last time!"
"Karr! Calm down. We won't tell the them anything until you are ready. Both physically and emotionally," Karen replied. "Okay?
"Okay," Karr said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I won't let any thing happen to you." Karen said reassuringly.
"You won't?" Karr said, a little surprised.
"No I won't," Karen smiled. She slowly got back off the bench and went over to the boxes of equipment. "Lets get you back together."
"Hey Mark! You remember that super car I told you about, Wilton Knight's car?" Nicholas Cossman said, walking into a large warehouse. Mark Jones slowly looked up from what he was doing. He had black hair and eyes, with a nasty long scar down the right side of his face.
"Isn't that your first, and only, solo job? The one you botched," Mark Jones sneered.
"It's not my fault that I was in a major accident before I could complete it!" C-man said defensively. "Anyway, I saw it! At Rider Tech, just before my shift."
"Yah, so?" Mark sighed, putting down the papers he had been reading.
"Well, I was thinking, after we build the AirGlider, we are going to need a car to put it in. I think that KARR is the perfect one for it!" C-man said. "Think about it, the car is indestructible. It has an onboard computer that can do just about anything!"
Mark's eyes narrowed in thought. Finally he nodded. "Yes, I agree. With the AirGlider almost complete, we are also going to have to get someone to help us with the final installation. Someone with the knowledge to do it. Think you are up to the tasks?"
"I was able to complete the others wasn't I?" C-man answered confidently.
"I'm afraid we don't have much to go on, Devon. No proof, two suspects, and nothing to connect them," Michael said with a sigh, slowly sinking into a sofa that was lining the wall of the semi.
"Michael, who are your suspects?" Devon asked.
"Their names are Peter Blake and Nicholas Cossman," Michael said, tiredly lifting his head up from where he had lain it on the back of the sofa.
"Nicholas Cossman?" Devon said in surprise.
"Yah, why?" Michael replied.
"He used to work for the Foundation a couple of years ago," Devon answered.
"Really? What did he do? He doesn't strike me as the scientist type," Michael questioned.
"He was Karr's driver," Devon said.
"He was? I didn't know Karr even had one," Michael said in surprise.
"What happened to him? He obviously didn't stay on with FLAG," Bonnie threw in.
"Well, Nicholas quit after Karr was deactivated. Apparently he was quite shaken from what had happened," Devon responded.
"Devon, do you think it is possible that he might be involved in this?" Michael asked, leaning forward.
"I don't know. He was in a major accident right after he quit. From what I heard, his injuries were quite extensive. The medical expenses alone could have pushed him to be involved in this," Devon replied.
"Ok," Michael sighed. "I'm exhausted. I'm going to head up to bed. Maybe this will make more sense in the morning."
"Very well, Michael. Hopefully we will have found something by the time you get up," Devon answered.
"So Karr, what do you think?" Karen said, closing the hood of her Trans Am with a final thud. She had been up most of the night working on Karr's new body. Karen sighed. She was glad that the car was finally complete. All it needed was a paint job, which was not something she could do. Karen glanced over the Trans Am. She had made some changes from the original schematics. She had opted for her AirGlider rather then turbo-boost and ski-mode. Karen had also made other minor changes.
"You did a good job," Karr answered. He opened the door to the driver's side. "You want to go for a test drive? Try out the AirGlider?"
Karen smiled "You have to ask?" she answered, sliding into the Trans Am. The door shutting behind her.
Karen pushed the button for the AirGlider. The Trans Am slowly lifted off the ground, it's wheels folding up into the body. A piece of metal slid out and covered the wheel hole.
"So let's go get you your new paint job!" Karen smiled, her thoughts drifted to last night. Karr had hesitantly asked her if it would be okay to repaint the Trans Am. Karen had quickly agreed letting Karr keep his reasons for the paint job to himself, and besides she really liked the way the two-toned Trans Am looked.
In response, Karr eased the Trans Am out of the garage. Once out of the garage, they shot into the sky.
Michael walked over to Bonnie and Devon. They had called him shortly after he had woken up, telling him that they had found something and to meet them at the semi. "So, What did you find?"
"Well Michael, we ran another background check on Peter Blake. It turns out that he's in the Witness Protection Program. So his name isn't Peter Blake. His real name was Peter Aster," Bonnie supplied. "Aster and his partner in crime were wanted for theft. He was caught after a robbery attempt in which his partner Mark Jones killed a guard. Apparently Aster agreed to help catch Jones. He also agreed to testify against him, but in exchange they would put him in the Witness Protection Program."
"I guess that makes him our prime suspect," Michael responded. "I'd better have another talk with him."
"Michael, there's more," Bonnie said.
"There is?" Michael replied, sinking into the couch.
"Yes. Nicholas Cossman is Mark Jones' half brother," Bonnie answered. "Also Mark Jones escaped prison two weeks ago."
"Thanks Bonnie," Michael said, getting off the couch. "I'm going to go talk to Aster and see if he can clear things up."
