Down by the highway, editing off of the computer store, Buy More, is a red Ferrari stuck in a ditch. It's passenger is leaning against a cop car. She is watching as tow truck pulls he car up and ontheirs bed. Her friend Barlow Walks up with a pad and pen in his hand. "look sky, I don't understand what your saying... " he said. Sky rolled her eyes. "I told you a car with my dad In it drive off. My dad was unconscious." she said. barlow wrote it down on his pad. "and who was driving?" he asked. "the car. my dad was in the driver's seat." barlow looked strangly at her.

"you know that strange-cars-that-take-people-and-drive-off-by-themeselves is not my division right?" barlow said. sky looked at him. "i think this is a job for him..." barlow looked at her with a stern face.

"no... he disappeared off the face of the earth with out a word. im calling him if i dont know where he is." sky said. "i talk to him once a week... acually i talk to his car..." sky looked curiously at him. he handed her his iphone and she went through his contacts.

"i dont see his name in here." barlow took it and selected one and hit talk. she took it back and held it to her ear.

the answering machine picked it up. "hey this is Jack, you know what to do after the beep." there was a beep and then sky said. "hey Jack... its sky.."

somewhere in a parking lot by a motel, a black trans-am lies there. in the front lies a red scanner moving left to right in a slow motion. inside a tv screen comes on. on it reads the words. "SKY" flashing in green. a voice recording plays back. "hey this is jack, you know what to do after the beep." a beep is heard. then someone on the other line is heard. "hey jack, its sky."

the other tv screen turns on and shows a map. sky continues. "i need your help..." a ping was heard from the other screen which has pinpointed where the call is being placed.

"someone has kidnapped my father, Chuck... you remember him right? you were there at the adoption signing... of course you were drunk at the time. please call back...bye" the call ends. the first tv screen changes to placing call, "Motel room 69"

inside of one of the motel rooms are two people sleeping. there are clothes everywhere. the phone rings. ring ring ring ring. a man's arm grabs the phone, and with a tired voice says. "hello..."

he sits up waking up the girl sleeping next to him. the man has black hair, and a 5 o'clock shadow. "yeah yeah alright." he hangs up the phone and stratches his chest. the woman gets up. "what is it?" the blonde asks. "i got to go to work." he kisses her and smiles.

he gets up from bed. grabes a grey longsleeve t-shirt, and his leather jacket. "cab fair is on the dresser." he said and left.

inside the car, everything lights up, beeping noises are heard and the car drives to curb to pick up its driver. jack stands by the curb and walks out infront of the approaching vehicle, which was his own. it stopped to left him in through the driver's door.

"hello jack. you slept well right?" the computer asked as 3 red bars lit up with ever word. "yeah i did until my car decided to wake me up." he rubbed his eyes and leaned back in the driver's seat.

"with good reason." KITT said. the left tv screen had played a recorded message. ""i need your help...someone has kidnapped my father, Chuck... you remember him right? you were there at the adoption signing... of course you were drunk at the time. please call back...bye" the message ends.

jack just sat in his seat. leaned back, eyes closed and hands on his head. "you got the position?" he asked. "dont i always?" KITT asked. "all right lets go." jack said.

he had put the petal to metal and raced out of the parking lot. what seemed like seconds but acually took 5 minutes and 42 seconds, jack and kitt arrived at the car acciedent.

jack opened the door, stepped out. and leaned against the door. "someone want me?" jack said with a smile. sky had ran towards him, and slapped him. "damn it..." jack said removing his sunglasses and moving his jawto deal with the slap. "what the hell was that for?" he asked.

"for being late!" she scolded him for being late? did jack really need this? "hey barlow." jack said completely ignoring her retort. "jack." barlow tips his hat. "hello KITT" barlow says out loud. "good afternoon Officer Barlow." the red scanner light moves across the front in a slow motion. left to right. left to right. "Officer?" jack askes.

"you'ld better behave or else i will lock you up and impound KITT here." barlow says. jack looks at sky who still looks very pissed off at him. "bet you'ld like that wouldn't you?" he asks her. "ok jack i think you should get to work." Barlow interrupts. "right then. lets get your dad back." jack says with a smile.
