Chapter One

No talking for Avalanche

Ahhhh! Look at the scenery! Pretty trees cute cars- ooh! ooh! A cactus! Do you think spiders really live in Chloe sighed. What? I was just say'n! Remember you can't talk okay? We can't have our cover blown. Chloe Knight said quickly. It was known that her car was too cheerful- innocent- well those are human traits- and not traits of cars. But- Avalanche was different he was a joker and he- well- got way more into his emotion chip then Kitt did.

So what is our assignment this time? Anymore cute damsels in distress? Avalanche asked hopefully. No we're here to help with an investigation. Chloe muttered turning around a corner. Help this guy named Steve Sloan? A little old but that's okay. Avi said. Avi! Listen! We're only here to help with the Homicide case! Not to play match maker! Chloe said loudly.

Avi said quietly. The red Chevy Avalanche stopped at a traffic light while a sexy black Dodge Viper stopped on the Chevy's left side. Cool! A Dodge Viper! Avalanche said happily. Isn't she cute? Avi said happily.
Yea the drivers kind of cute too- Avi! Chloe sighed loudly. The AI immediately revved up the engine. Chloe shouted. What!? I wanna race her! Such beauty should not be wasted! Avalanche argued. Well Avi this time we're not! Even though the drivers kinda cute- no! C'mon! We got a job to do! The light now green the Chevy Avalanche tore through the light.

The Chevy Avalanche turned into the driveway of Community General Hospital. Ooh, I hate hospitals- remides me that I need a oil change soon. Avi said. Okay listen no talking! Not even if a squirrel is on your hood! Chloe said loudly. No talking for Avalanche got it. The AI said innocently. Okay? We're not gonna have our cover blown this time around. Chloe said getting out of the car. So radio silence gottcha. Avi said happily. She beeped the car the lights blinked once and hopefully the car with the always gleeful AI would stay like that for the whole week.

The young 23 year old walked into the hospital she didn't mind them at all infact she had stayed in hospitals when she was young, but it was only for the day. So I wonder who this Steve Sloan looks like? She thought and walked towards the Nurses' station. With a pleasant smile she asked the nurse. You wouldn't by chance know were Detective Steve Sloan is? She asked. I'm Steve Sloan. Came a voice to her right side. Ooh he is cute. She thought. But dad cute. She smiled at him and extended her hand. He's the guy we're supposed to help? Okay this is just sad. Came the voice of Avalanche. Radio silence my ass. Chloe thought with a silent sigh.

I'm Chloe Knight, She said with a smile trying to cut the urge to berate the AI over her com watch. We can talk in my fathers office. Steve said with a friendly smile. Sounds good. Chloe agreed and the two walked
towards the floor.

And just what do you think you are doing Jesse Travis? Dr. Amanda Bentley asked the cute young blonde doctor who had his ear to a glass which was on a door. Um- shush! I'm trying to find out what their saying! Jesse said waving his hand to silence her. This is not like you Jes. Amanda said with a frown. I wanted to find out when I saw her she's really pretty. Jesse said with a wide grin. Oh yes she is but this doesn't give you the right to just to listen in on them! Amanda said with her arms crossed. It does too! And besides- I think it's a pretty tough case if you ask me. He said. I didn't. Amanda said but she had given in and just decided to kneel down and then try to catch on what they were saying.

It's all muffled. Amanda sighed. Yea- that's why I have the glass. He said indicating the glass in his right hand. If we get caught Jesse- I'm blaming you. Amanda said and then pressed her ear up to the door.

A black Lexus convertible parked right next to Avalanche who immediately decided to spy on the good doctor. He had white hair in his late sixties to early seventies, and was handsome for his age. And he's still practicing? I would have retired by now. Ya know on the beach. Avalanche muttered. The man got out and beeped his car, and like Avi it's lights blinked once. So howya doin'? Avi asked. Oh your the shy type? Oh I can change that soon. Avalanche said. Apparently he still didn't know that he and Kitt were the only cars in the whole world who were AI's.

The man turned around and faced the car and just shook his head and then walked back into the front doors of CGH.

Um do you hear anything Amanda? Jesse asked his friend again and for the fourth time in the row. And for the fourth time in the row no! She said loudly. Sheesh you don't have to be that mean. Jesse frowned and then turned his ear back to the door. Said a voice from behind them. Oh hi Mark. They both said facing him then turned their heads back. They realized.

It was Amanda's idea! Jesse said quickly. It wasn't my idea! It was Jes'! Amanda said glaring at the young blonde doctor. Right now I would really like to get into my office please? Mark said with a smile. Right sorry. Jesse said quickly grabbing his glass. While Amanda grabbed hers. Thank you two and I think we might talk later. Mark said with the same smile. He knocked on the door, oh hi dad. They heard Steve say they were about to walk in when the door closed quickly.

Well we better get back to work. Amanda said leading Jesse by the arm away from Mark's office door. Right, you think they might you know let us in on this whole thing? Jesse asked his friend. Maybe. I don't think that Mark will let us live this whole thing down though. Amanda sighed.

A black crow landed on Avi's hood not liking the flying rat on his hood he shocked the poor crow using his phase cannon. A evil sounding chuckle came from the car. While the shocked and afraid crow with it's mouth open hopped away and then flew off. That'll show that flying rat!Two men? Chloe mused. Yep two men and one dead body it was found
right in her apartment 201 it was one of the largest units. Steve said. Anything stolen? Money? Paper? Jewelry? Chloe asked. Nope the only thing that was taken was her ibook. Steve said looking through the case notes. Anything on it that we know of? Chloe asked. We don't know her coworkers said that she mainly kept to herself and the ibook was almost always off when they were over at her condo.

So were do we start? Chloe asked.

Did you find anything usefull on this damn computer or not? Came a cold voice of a woman behind them. Not yet ma'am but we will it won't be hard to crack the code that she created. The man with the glasses said. Good I want this information soon, we don't have time to clown around you know. She said and walked back into her office she closed the door and looked out her office window. What are you hiding Juilan? I want to know all of your dirty little secrets. I will have them in time. Don't you worry. She thought.

Um this way, Steve said. If you don't mind since my car is right here.
Chloe said quickly. Sure it is a long walk. Steve said with a smile. Chloe got in with Steve in shotgun. Resist the urge to eject! Resist the urge to eject! Avalanche thought. Wow Avi is behaving himself, I'm impressed and he didn't even try to eject Detective Sloan! Chloe grinned to herself.
The car rolled down the road quietly, Avi being quiet for this long had to kick himself for not talking, usualy the talkative AI would have been scolded by his driver by now.

Here we are. Steve said finally stabbing the ackward silence. Condo 201? Chloe asked checking her palm pilot which also served as a link to Avi and Kitt. Meanwhille a blue Ford Mustang parked a few spaces behind them. I can't believe you talked me into this! Amanda said crouchily. I have work to do! She snapped. And my shift doesn't start for another three hours so lets kill some time. Jesse said with a grin getting out of his car while Amanda just gave a exasperated sigh and got out herself.
I just hope you know what your getting us into Jesse Travis! I do.

He grinned and the two walked towards the second floor stairs.

While Steve walked on ahead Chloe made the pretence of checking her Palm Pilot and then began the be quiet or I'll take you to a chop shop, threat. Nooooooooo! You know what they will do to me there!? Take me apart and use me as VW Bug parts! WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Avalanche started crying. Well they won't if you just be quiet! Chloe said. You promise? Sniffed Avi. I will if you promise me that you will be quiet! She said. Okay. Promise. Avi said with a audible smile. She said getting out of the car. Everything okay? Steve asked her. Just fine. Chloe said with a grin.

Julian! I haven't seen you in quite a while! Cameron Whiley said with a grin hugging his oldest friend. It's good to see you too Cam. He said.
But your here for business right? The bald but slightly plump man asked him. Julian Wilkes sat down and then nodded. I didn't think that my neweset project would work out this well. I'm very surprised but very impressed. Dr. Wilkes said with a smile. And your very good, I've never seen work like it besides the Defender in Metro. Cameron said with a grin. What can I do for you old friend? Cameron asked. I hear that you sent out one of your agents on a assigment? Cameron nodded. well I might have some information for you. Dr. Wilkes said sitting down on one of the comfy leather chairs. And this would be? Cameron asked.

I sent some information to a good friend of mine in Malibu a year ago before Avalanche was created. She said that she would keep it safe. And now she's unfortunally dead. Wilkes said gravely. Cameron sighed. She was a good agent, but- Recently after her murder, her laptop was stolen. Dr. Wilkes said. Cameron asked with a frown. Right- and it had the information of Kitt's reformating and the complete blueprints of Avalanche. If we don't get it back they will get complete control of Avalanche as we speak.

The condo was now the sight of a complete and utter mess the CSI's were finished gathereing up their evidence so now the place was empty.
Was she ever married before she died? Chloe asked. No she wasn't,
Steve said. But she had a cat. Chloe said. How did- Chloe pointed grinnigly at a litter box which was in the bathroom. Steve said with a smile. Nope I just have good eyes. Chloe grinned.

The condo was three floors three bedrooms on the second floor and three up on the third floor. Why would someone living alone need that much space? But Detective Sloan did say her family visited alot.

Before we go inside, Jes let me just ask what are we going to say to Steve hm? Amanda asked the young resident. Oh um- I think- I was jus gonna- um okay I have no clue. Jesse said sheepishly. From the time we learned that the goverment agent was coming I had the sinking feeling that this was one case that you and I should butt out. Amanda said. Oh c'mon! How many cases have we helped Steve solved when we butted in Amanda? Jesse asked with a playfull grin. Jesse! Listen to me! I think we should stay out of this until either Steve or Mark askes for our help. Amanda said pushing her friend towards the Mustang. A few spots down a crow or as Avi liked to put it a flying rat shocked the crow it cawed and then flew away it looked like it was kinda drunk as it soared off. Avalanche chuckled evily.

What was that? Amanda asked walking towards the Chevy. Um I don't know. Jesse said. She walked up towards the car and then placed her hands on the hood. She said. Jesse asked. I got shocked. She said and then walked towards the drivers side door. She peered in. Um if you like the car so much I can drop you off at a Chevrolet dealership. Jesse said with a grin. I think I heard something, I mean- I don't know if it was my imagination or not. She said. Jesse almost shouted. Yea it shocked me too and since when does that happen? Amanda asked. Um all the time? Jesse asked her giving her a look. Jesse! And to two people? Amanda asked. Amanda it's just a car. Look inside. She said. Okay what am I looking at? He asked her.
The interior! Does any car that you know of have this? She asked him.
Indeed it did look something out of the space age, with the same equipment that regular cars did. There was a large computer screen in the shape of a silver circle in the middle was the color of baby blue. The glove compartment revealed a small ibook when opened. The consoul that divided the driver and the passenger had the emergency break and the automatic stick shift. Many buttons dotted here and there while on the drivers door was many more. A soft red light blinked on and off the alarm perhaps?
