Chapter Two,

In the line of Fire

What are they doing? They're gonna learn everything! So do I tell Chloe? Or do I solve this on my own? Avi thought. Amanda and Jesse were still looking in awe of the car and didn't seem to notice, a red with white striped Ford Mustang come down. They're looking at Avi. Said the deep voice of Kitt. I know. So what do we do about it? Kitt asked. Chloe can take care of herself. The driver said and then kept on their way. Enough is enough! A mild shock should do the trick- but- I can't hurt humans- but- this should hurt them too much maybe a jolt from the flying rat should do the trick. Avi thought. Amanda shouted. Jesse yelped he was on the ground while she just jumped back. Jesse got back up on his feet to see the color of baby blue trendrils of electricty ran down the front of the car to the back of it. Um your right Amanda this is no ordinary car! Jesse said. And if you know what was good for you you would't tell a soul now would you? Came the voice of Avi. Mark is not gonna believe us when we tell him Jes. Amanda said backing up from the Chevy. Yea so um- why don't we leave? Jesse asked nodding. The two tore towards the blue Mustang it started up and drove away.

Two Hours ago:

Your going to have a time trying keep quiet with this assignment, aren't you Avalanche? Came the voice from the Ford Mustang. The AI had gotten used to it's new body while Chloe and Noah would never let Michael live it down climbing up a tree to get away from Kitt. It was so funny! You ran up it so damn fast we thought you were a monkey! Chloe laughed. Yea I would have loved to see it once more again! Avi said laughing and then replayed it on the big plasma screen. While Michael just glared at his younger sister and her car.

This assignment is very important that they don't learn about our little secrets okay kids? If it's only for the upmost importance. Cameron said walking in. Just so as long as a damn flying rat doesn't come on my hood again! Avi said. Well we're sure to park right next to a nice fire hydrent. Chloe grinned. Funny Chlo very funny! Avalanche said not sounding very happy right then. Okay you two go out in two hours got that? Cameron said. Chloe nodded.

Now:

Chloe came down first she was shocked to see blue tendrils of electricty coming from the front of her car going to the back out it. She spoke into her com. What the hell is going on with you! You know you can't use your phase cannon out in public without me! Chloe berated him. Well!
If you saw two people looking around your insides wouldn't you do that?
Avi defended himself. Well just make sure that you- Talking to anyone in particular? Steve asked her with an amused grin. She quickly lowered her com and then started to chuckle. Caught me! Just talking with Agent Wiley. She said quickly. The blue tendrils had now gone thankfully.

They were only on the road for five minutes when Avi found something on his sensors. A big yellow Hummer H2 was coming in fast, in about two minutes the Hummer would over take them. A yellow Hummer is about twp minutes away from us, thought you should know. And since we can't really let the good detective in on our whole situation. I advise a really kick ass driving scene. Avi said into Chloe's earpiece. Oh and one more thing if you turn around you might just see their faces. Avi suggested again.

It looks like their in trouble. Kitt said quietly. One phase cannon coming up. The Mustang was coming up towards the Hummer quickly it would soon pass it if they weren't careful. The driver turned to face the Mustang Michael waved. The drive moaned. Great just what I need! That damn blasted AI! The driver growled.

I really don't have to remide you that that Hummer is right behind us.
Avalanche said. The passenger side window opend up and a tall man came out with a automatic in his hands. Chlo! You hear me? The Mustang's driver asked over the com. I can't responde! And let on to Sloan here that Avi's a AI? This is not how I wanted to do things! Chloe thought and sighed. Well here goes. She thought and was going to speak before the Hummer rammed into them. Ooh! My back bumper! Wailed Avi who spoke out loud instead of her earpiece! What the hell was that!? Steve said loudly. Again the Hummer hit the back bumer of Avi. Um okay what I'm about to do right now- you can't tell anyone else? Kay? Chloe begged him. About to do what? Steve asked her his face red. Um this.
She said and hit her hand on the computer screen. The whole was covered with a blue energy. Avalanche went into Defender mode Michael should I do as well? Kitt asked. He nodded the same blue energy went down the red and white Ford Mustang and then the right side panel opend up. One shot should do nicely. Michael said more to himself then to the cars AI. The car shot forward while the phase cannon
powered up. Let's just hope Noah updated my systems. Kitt said hopefully. The cars tires screeched as it moved past the Hummer blue energy shot out of the side panel and hit the Hummer. Kitt stopped facing both cars. Um- I think that Noah should give my phase cannon more energy and updates don't you think Michael? Kitt asked looking at the yellow Hummer which was barriling down towards them. We should do something before your brother and Kitt become the Hummer's main meal. Came Avi's voice from the computer. Right power up tractor cables. Chloe ordered. Already on it. Came the AI's voice.

The right side panel came out a long and heavy cable was thrusted out and maked it's mark in the Hummer's back. It stopped dead in it's tracks.
Blue energy went down the tractor cable and finally turned the cars engine off. Whew! That was a close one. Michael said a bit lightly her arms slowly going down from his face. Right and you knew all along that Chloe was going to show Avalanche to that nice detective. Kitt said.
Well! At least she stopped him! And you! Weren't you gonna do something other then just stand here and get hit by a friggin Hummer!? Michael shouted. Well- I uh- um- I don't know how to answer that one Michael. Kitt said quickly. Well neither do I! Michael sighed.

Avalanche knowing that the Hummer wasn't going anywere retracted the cable and it quickly went back into the side panel it closed up with no trouble. The driver angry at the sudden change of plans tried to turn the engine on with no success. Is anything wrong? You need a tow? Came the voice of Kitt. Your lucky this time don't forget that. The driver of the Hummer growled. A familiar black BMW came rushing down the street at amazing speeds the driver of the Hummer jumped out and then jumped into the back seat of the BMW it tore off. Go after them! Chloe shouted. Her older brother agreed. Since when does she order us around?! Kitt asked. No time! He shouted the red and white mustang tore off after the BMW.

Steve looked at Chloe and said: you have a lot of explaining to do. The only thing that Chloe did was smile sheepishly.

I detecting a powerserge in my bullet caseing Michael. Kitt said calmly. He asked. I'm not 100 percent sure that I can protect you from bullet fire. Kitt said again with the creepy calmness. And why do you sound so damn calm then!? Michael said his voice rising. Well! You didn't ask now did you? Kitt asked. Can Noah fix it? He asked the AI. Sure he can it won't take too long, I'm also picking up the BMW we should over tak it in five minutes Michael. Kitt said quietly. And just who exactly was that in that Mustang? You know him? Steve asked her. He's her brother! Avalanche said proudly. And does this AI always answer for you? No I don't! She has a voice you know! Avi said loudly. would like to speak now Avi! Chloe said sternly. Oh! Right! Sorry! Avi apologized. He's my brother Michael Knight and that was Kitt.
The Ford Mustang. Chloe finished. And Kitt is? Steve prodding her on.
Knight Intrustries 2000 or Kitt it's much easier to call him that. Chloe said quickly. Steve asked. What? Would you prefer to have them call us it? Avalanche said his voice high on the verge of exploding. Uh no. Steve said quickly. Avalanche and Kitt have feelings you know! Besides I think we should be talking with Agent Wiley about this. Chloe said.

Get ready Kitt. He said quietly, as the phase and gunn cannons were charging. Are you sure that this is such a good idea Michael? I already told you that I detected a power surge in my- I'm sure we'll be fine Kitt all we do is fire the phase cannon and be on our way. We could always tow- Need I remide you of what happend to my Alpha circuit when you decided to pick up that lady near the Army base? Kitt asked him.
Michael said quietly. Kitt said closeing the conversation.

Get ready for them, they should be here soon. Said the man in the back seat. Are you sure this is such a good idea sir? I mean that damn car is bulletproof. The gunman said hurridedly. Just do as I say! The man said loudly. Yes Mr. McNamara sir! The gunman said raising his gun up ready to fire. Our last squirmish made sure that Kitt's bullet casing down a bit. If we fire rapidly then that should rid us of that annoying Michael Knight and it shoud be the same with Chloe Knight. Matthew McNamara smiled evily.

The Mustang came up quickly. Matthew looked at his ibooks screen said grinned. He shouted. The four gunmen fired rapidly all the while
Matthew McNamara looked on with the reassurance that this would work.

Warning, bullet cassing of line. Said the voice of the computer. Uh what does that mean Kitt- It means duck! Kitt screamed the man didn't stop to think but dropped to the floor half on the drivers and half onto the passengers seat. Bullets flew everywere shattering the wind shield the headlights had wholes inside them now the once beautiful red and white paint now littered with bullets. Enough! Go! Matthew shouted the four gunmen jumped into the two black BMW's Matthew's Beemer shoot off.
Kitt began to fire at the oncoming BMW but it was bulletproof. Michael! You okay!? Kitt shouted loudly. I-I think so. The man muttered. I think we best have Noah look me over once we get home? Kitt asked a bit shaky. And um- how are we gonna explain this to Cameron? Michael moaned. Very carefully I might add.

The red Mustang quietly pulled into the garage of the Foundations estate in Malibu. The others were outside, while Michael carefully got out of poor Kitt, bullet caseing fell out of the car and onto the ground. He silently and carefully closed the door to the Mustang while Kitt silently cursed his broken bulletproof system. Ahhh! And I see Kitt and Michael is here. He heard Cameron said cheerfully. Good because I want to speak to him about this- whole thing. Came Steve's voice from outside. Noah pressed the garage door Cameron's grin left when he saw what was left of Kitt's bullet shield. His mouth fell open, while Chloe covered her mouth in shock.
I hurt everywere. Kitt moaned. Do I want to know what happend? Cameron asked him. No not really. Michael said smilling sheepishly.
