Chapter 9
K.I.T.T. stood out front of the flag mansion. His scanner was dark, and all of his windows were black.
Bonnie stood a few feet away, watching a flat bed tow truck pull up the drive and stop in front of K.I.T.T.
Two huge men jumped down from the truck cab and walked toward Bonnie. Bonnie gestured disgustedly at K.I.T.T., "There! Take it!"
One of the men went to K.I.T.T.'s driver side door, reaching for the handle.
"You don't want to do that!" Bonnie exclaimed, a tear sliding down her cheek. She went on when the man looked askance at her, "So much blood! Everywhere. We... we couldn't stand to see it, so we blacked out the windows, after we deactivated K.I.T.T. You can winch it up on the truck easily enough, though."
Inside K.I.T.T., Carlee could feel the winch begin to pull them onto the tilted bed of the truck. When their forward movement stopped, the bed was tilted back to horizontal.
"Here we go, K.I.T.T." Carlee said, as she leaned back in the seat. Not knowing how long the trip would take, she figured she might as well get some rest. "Wake me when we get there," Carlee said, closing her eyes.
"Leave it to you to sleep at a time like this!" K.I.T.T. grumbled.
"Aw... But it's routine, so it will put you more at ease," Carlee retorted, not bothering to open her eyes.
K.I.T.T.'s snort was the only sound to answer her, and Carlee was soon sleeping relatively easily.
