The Lone Agent
Michael Knight has been recruited to work at FLAG. Devon was now leading him to meet his new partner.
"Now Michael," Devon started, "Your new partner is very unique and unusual. Wilton Knight made sure of that."
Michael shot Devon a confused look. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Devon only chuckled.
They arrived at some sort of stable. Where a woman was standing by a black, American Thoroughbred horse. The horse had a strange collar around its neck but didn't seem too out of the ordinary. The woman noticed the two walk in, and she introduced herself to Michael.
"Hello. I'm Bonnie Barstow. I'm a technician for Flag."
Michael grinned like he does when he meets cute girls. "I'm Michael Knight. Say, uh, what's with the horse?"
Devon replied, "He is your partner. This is the Knight Industries Talking Transport."
Michael's eyes shot up to the ceiling. A horse was his new partner?
"Is he fast?"
"Oh yes, very. He can also help you in navigation, problem-solving, and-"
Michael became skeptical. "Bonnie, it's a HORSE."
A new voice chimed in, in a rather robotic tone."I am merely but a horse. I am the Knight Industries Talking Transport. K.I.T.T if you prefer."
Michael's jaw dropped to the floor. "Did that horse just TALK!?"
Bonnie and Devon both chuckled. "You see, "Bonnie began," KITT's brain has been modified, enhanced, and in a sense, upgraded to a more human level. We put a microchip in his brain so he could communicate through his collar. He also has a tracking chip in his collar and his brain."
Michael couldn't believe all of this. His partner was a TALKING HORSE. He took a moment to take it all in before he responded to them.
"Devon, this is amazing...but...I don't know how to ride a horse, much less get on a horse or take care of one."
"Not to worry, Michael. KITT can help you. And we will also be giving you help to transport both you and KITT. He is already saddled up. So go ahead."
Michael got onto KITT(after a few failed attempts.) and KITT started slow, much to Michael's dismay.
"I thought you were supposed to be fast."Michael sounded bored.
"Michael, you have never ridden a horse before. If I were to go fast right now, you'd fall off in an instant. You do not know how to handle such speeds."
"I have been in the army. I've been shot at. But now a horse is saying it's too dangerous for me to go fast."At hearing this, KITT had already had enough."Alright, don't say I didn't warn you."KITT took off at full speed, and Michael nearly lost his grip on the reins! After 2 minutes of Michael yelling at him to stop, he came to a halt.
"N-Never…..do that….wihtout….warning me..."Michael said between snorted and said "Technically I did warn you. Although I must say, I fully expected you to fall off and hit your head. Well done."
"Don't sass me, I don't take it from people, and I don't take it from horses."
"You could learn to be a bit more polite."
"You're as much fun as a divorce."
"Then I want custody of me."
"KITT?"
"Yes, Michael?"
"Shut up."
The rest of the day was spent with KITT trying to teach Michael the basics about horses and horse care.
"And you should never go more than a day without the proper horse care. Did you get all that, Michael?"
No response.
"Michael?" Michael had fallen asleep laying against KITT's back while KITT was laying on his wasn't amused but decided to let it go.
"Goodnight, Michael."
