Rebuilding the Wheelchair and Finding the Driver

When the mystery man and Mrs. Renton get out of the Hospital, she sees a van. The man says, "This is Rolling Base. We use it for pick-up and transport operations. I hope you don't mind."

Mrs. Renton replies, "No, I don't mind at all. I gather I'm going to be blindfolded."

"You gather correctly. That way, if you're abducted, you won't know how to get to our base op."

Mrs. Renton mulls this over and says, "That makes sense. I wouldn't want to compromise your crew. Other than fix and improve things, what do you guys do anyway?"

"Ever hear of Street Hawk? That's what we do." He then reaches for a mike and says, "This is Rolling Base. I'm heading in now. Set an extra place. Bringing in an expert."

A young woman's voice replies, "Copy, Rolling Base. We'll be waiting for you upon arrival. War Bird out."

At Command Center, Ron and Bonnie are sorting out the parts while Kim is watching the monitors, watching for signs of Rolling Base approaching. As they examine the parts, Bonnie can only sigh glumly as she examines the mangled pieces.

She then snarls and says, "This doesn't look good, does it, Ron? I mean, you and Kim had faced worse odds before and always, somehow, came up on top. Like the time you won the talent competition. You overdid it, yet you won. Who would have thought you would be so talented? But, this mess is way beyond us and our technical skills. Do you really think we can pull it off?"

Ron chuckles and replies, "Yeah, it sure doesn't look good. But still, we have to at least try. Oh, darn." He holds up a broken circuit board and says, "This has to be the motherboard for the wheelchair. I hope Mrs. Renton has a spare, because, if not, the wheelchair definitely won't be the same."

Kim then says, "They're coming. Mask up." At that, they all pull masks onto their heads and over their faces, concealing their identities. The door opens and Rolling Base rolls in. When the van stops, Norman opens the driver's door, steps out and closes it. He then gets out his own mask and covers his face as well. He then opens the passenger door and gently guides Mrs. Renton out of the van.

When she is out, Norman removes her blindfold and says, "Welcome to our humble abode. I'd like you to meet Street Hawk, Sand Hawk and War Bird. Guys, this is Mrs. Renton."

The crew acknowledges her and she looks all around her. She sees the War Bird helicopter and a massive chamber. When she looks at the floor, she sees the wheelchair. She gasps and goes over to it, tears falling from her eyes.

She then falls to the ground and says, "I had no idea the damage was so extensive! It'll take months to rebuild."

Street Hawk says, "It gets worse. It seems the motherboard for the wheelchair is totaled. You wouldn't happen to have a spare, would you?"

Mrs. Renton's face brightens and she replies, "Yes, there is a spare. At the Middleton Space Center. It's there for Dr. Possible's project ideas. He thinks that if he can meld a robotic motherboard with a standard board on a shuttle, it'll improve the shuttle fleet quite a bit. But, I can't get to it until tomorrow."

War Bird says, "That's no big deal. We can do the mechanical portions tonight and you can pick up the motherboard when you go in tomorrow. Sand Hawk and I will go over the files of anyone that had moved here in the past few months." At that, War Bird goes over to the console and Mrs. Renton notices Sand Hawk is pregnant.

Sand Hawk clutches her belly and chuckles, saying, "The babies kicked, War Bird. They're definitely going to be fighters." She then turns to Street Hawk and says, "Street, I'm having another craving. Would you please be a dear and find me something to eat?"

Street Hawk chuckles and replies, "You got it, Sand." He then goes into the kitchen and yells out, "Not much supplies here! Only thing we have are marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter and bananas! But I can get a pizza to use as a base! Yeah, cheese pizza with marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter and bananas! HAHA! Would that work, Sand!"

Sand Hawk replies, "Yeah, that'll work, honey! Please and thank you!"

Street Hawk chuckles and walks out of Command Center. As he walks to his pick-up, Ron removes his mask and says, "KP, I am definitely going to be a strange influence on the kids." At that, he gets into the pick-up, chuckles again and heads for the nearest pizza place.

Back inside Command Center, Mrs. Renton is working along with the strange man she had just met a short time ago. The man is proving to be quite adept with repairing, patching and welding machinery, causing her to start admiring him. She takes a quick pause from her work to look over at War Bird and Sand Hawk, who are at the console, working feverishly to find a likely suspect.

She then gets up and walks over there. When she gets there, she asks, "What makes you think the driver just moved here?"

Sand Hawk replies, "It's Street's hunch. The car that struck your son was parked in front of a random house, which means the driver is not really familiar with this area, like he or she had just moved into the area. Also, the note that was on the car. It told the boy that Street caught to park the car around where your son was run over. That can only mean that they were followed by the driver."

Mrs. Renton catches on and says, "So it's someone that has something against Disabled Americans. But, why my son? Why Felix?"

War Bird replies, "When we find the loser, we'll ask him or her. Won't we, Sand Hawk?"

"We will indeed, War Bird. We will indeed." Sand Hawk then scrolls down the screen and says, "I think we have a winner. Or in this case, the loser. Take a look here, Mrs. Renton." Mrs. Renton looks at the screen and gasps.

War Bird asks, "What's wrong, Mrs. Renton? You look like you just saw a ghost."

Mrs. Renton snorts and replies, "I can only wish. That's the man responsible for my husband's death and Felix's being confined to a wheelchair." The face is of the quack from earlier in the day.

Shortly afterward, Ron returns to Command Center and puts his mask back on. He then says, "Thank goodness for already prepared cheese pizzas." He opens the door and walks in. As he crosses the floor, he sees everyone except Mrs. Renton at the console. He asks, "What's going on? We get a break in the case?"

Sand Hawk replies, "More than you think, Street. Take a look."

Street Hawk comes around the side and says, "No frickin' way. That's the guy that ran down Mrs. Renton's son?" He then looks around and sees Mrs. Renton crying on the sofa.

He then goes over and sits with her. He then says, "You know him, don't you?"

Mrs. Renton nods and says, "I don't know how he found us, but he did. That, that monster made me a widow and almost cost me my son!" She then starts bawling and goes into Street Hawk's shoulder. He can only wrap her in his arms and pat her back, trying only to soothe her. She then says, "I hate that man! At the trial, he claimed that alcohol enhanced his driving skills and we had no business driving while sober! When I filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him and won, he said he'd get me and my son!"

Street Hawk shakes in anger and asks, "What was his job? What did he do for work?"

Mrs. Renton replies, "He was claiming to be an Obstetrician. He lost his Medical and driver's license as a result of his actions. An investigation later revealed that he had never gone to Medical school and had forged his license. The man is a verifiable quack!"
