It was late at night when sirens from police cars could be heard going down the street. When they reached their destination the officers got out with their guns raised. A man wearing a brown suit got out of one of the police cars and looked at the building.

"So finally we caught up with the Grinch. He still in the building?"

One of the officers nodded. "Yes sir. We surrounded the whole place, nothing's getting in or out."

"Good. I heard he's on the top floor up there."

"He is Detective Wolfe. He can't escape from us."

The man known as Detective Mark Wolfe grinned from ear to ear. He's been chasing this now famous thief known as the Grinch for almost a month. It started with LogTech, then with him robbing other technologic companies over the course of two weeks. For some reason this person strikes every three days, usually leaving no trace of him ever stepping foot in said building or appearing on security cameras. The only clue he or she leaves is a black card with the Grinch on it. This time however the Detective put up a trap to lure him in. The thief stepped on a invisible laser beam used to cover valuble works of art, setting off alarm and alerting police to where he was. The thief was on top of the building, called Gateway Alarms, with nowhere else to run to. The Detective was glad of that.

"Alright! Have 5 men go up there and arrest the bastard! Tonight's the night we catch him!"

5 Policemen ran into the building and stormed upstairs. By the time they reached the top though, no one was there. The policemen were confused as to where he might be. He just disappeared. One of the policemen saw something on the ground and picked it up. He groaned in frustration as he radioed the Detective on his walkie-talkie.

"Sir, bad news. He's gone."

"Gone?! What the hell you mean gone?!"

"Sir he's gone. Just up and disappeared."

Detective Wolfe rubbed his eyes. "No one can just disappear off the face of the damn earth!"

The officer sighed. "Well he did. And he left us a little present too..."

"What is it?"

"That damn Grinch card plus a note saying; 'Nice try, but you can't catch what you can't see.' Damn bastard."

Detective Wolfe cursed and kicked a rock that was in his way. "Dammit all to hell... That bastard's mocking us." He looked at the building again and growled in anger. "Son of a bitch won't get away with this!"

...

The next day at the Foundation, Devon was reading the paper and saw a report about the famous thief. He read it out loud to himself. "Last night at around 10pm, the infamous thief The Grinch succeds in yet another high stakes robbery of Gateway Alarms. It is speculated the thief stole over $10.000 in high tech alarm systems due to go on sale within a few days. Police have no other evidance of the mysterious caper except for a playing card depicting the Grinch on it along with a note mocking the police. The next three days which is Christmas the mysterious thief will strike again. Detective Mark Wolfe assures people that he will catch this menice to society and bring him to justice." Devon stopped reading and rubbed his head. This was even worse than he realized. In three days the thief will strike again and it could be the Foundation this time. He stood up from his chair and left for the Main Labortory, taking the newspaper with him.

In the garage, KITT was powered down and having a good stasis sleep until a loud beeping noise woke him up. He powered on and focued his scanner to the left. He saw his baby brother SID staring at him giggling like a little schoolgirl.

*Beeep! Beep beep?*

KITT made a yawning noise and repeatly opened and closed his doors, his way of scretching.

"Morning SID... Did you have to scream at me to wake up? My powerpacks aren't fully charged yet..."

*Beep, beep!*

"What do you mean you don't care?" KITT groaned and turned off his scanner. "Listen I'm still not fully charged. I'll wake up in an hour...z Z"

SID huffed and beeped at him to get up, but it didn't work. His brother was out cold in sleepyland. SID sighed, he wanted his big brother up and early so they can peek at the presents. But alas, he'll have to wait for an hour. SID opened his wings and flew down to the labotory, maybe he could find and take a peek at their gifts himself. When he got there though he saw Devon with Bonnie and Michael. He flew over to them and landed in Michael's hair. He nuzzled the thick mane and beeped happily.

*Beep! Beep!*

Michael chuckled and petted the drone. "Morning SID! Is KITT awake?" SID shook his head no. He beeped and whistled in his language, saying that his brother is a lazy sleepy bot. Bonnie snickered at that comment. "Well he must've gone on patrol again last night. He's usualy up before us." Said Michael. "Well let him rest up. We'll fill him in later on what happened." Said Devon. "Now I've tightened up Security around the place. I thought this was nothing until the Police made their report on it."
"What I don't understand is how someone could just disappear off a 10 story building?" Asked Bonnie. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Maybe he's a Houdini. A master of disguise and magic." Said Michael. Devon sighed and slowly shook his head. "Either way, we're dealing with a genius thief here. Michael once KITT comes out of recharge fill him in on the details and go to Gateway Alarms. Detective Mark Wolfe will be waiting for you." Michael nodded. "Sure Devon. Hey Bonnie you haven't found anything on this Grinch guy?"
"No. Nothing. I don't know where he came from or what purpose of stealing high grade technology will get him. It's so weird..."

SID beeped and swished his tail. He understood why his human friends would be worried about the thief. The drone made a couple of beeping and growling sounds, saying that he will help to catch the Grinch.

*Grrr! Beep beep beep! Grreep!*

Michael and Devon looked at Bonnie who was laughing. "He said he wants to help us catch the thief." "Ohh... Well mind getting him off of my head? His claws are pulling my hair." Michael tried to get SID off his head but he playfully bit Michael's hand. "Hey! No biting me!" Bonnie grabbed the drone as he started giggling and nuzzled in her chest. Devon smiled at the affection SID was displaying. "So since KITT is still sleeping I'll do more research on this Grinch person. SID you can help me." *Beep!* Bonnie and SID walked to her office while Michael yawned. "I might take a little nap Devon." Devon was talking to one of the securtaries and turned around. "Okay then Michael. I've just been informed that the Detective wants to speak with me."
"With you? About what?" He asked. "I don't know. Hopefully it's a lead on the case. Have a good nap dear boy." "Will do Devon." Devon quickly walked away as Michael yawned again. He woke up early and was sleepy because of it. He went to his room to take a 30min nap.

Meanwhile in a secluded place, a man wearing all black just got through unloading all the alarm systems he stole last night on a lead covered black truck. He got in the driver's seat and pulled out a phone to make a call. Another man picked up on the other end and spoke in a gruff voice.

"Did you get them?"

"Yeah, I did sir. Dumb cops almost caught me back there."

"Well next time don't let yourself get caught. Now bring them here to the warehouse. II found a buyer from North Korea who wants a few of those alarm systems."

"Sure. Listen after this I'm done. I'm taking my sister and leaving. You can find your own damn magican to do your dirty work."

The man on the other end laughed. "Who are you fooling Grinch? Your skills are what I need to make my business run properly. No way in hell I'm letting you quit now."

The man in black sighed loudly in frustration. "Listen, can I just talk to my sis? I want to see if she's alright."

"She's fine quit worrying. Now bring the merchndice here. You don't want anything to happen to your little sister now."

"Hey wait!" The man on the other end hung up as the man in black hit the steering wheel.
"Don't worry Maya, I'll make sure this bastard pays for kidnapping you..."

...

An hour later KITT powered on and stretched his doors by opening them and closing them again. He looked at the time and was shocked he slept in.
"Oh goodness! It's 10:00! Well that's the last time I go on patrol so late." He started his engine and drove out of the garage. After a few minutes of driving he saw Peter walking to the Main Lab. "Hello Peter!" Peter turned around and smiled at the Trans Am. "Why hello there KITTY! You have a good sleep?"
"Yes I did thank you. And you're not going to stop calling me kitty are you?" The man laughed and patted his roof. "Nope! It's a cute name that's suits you!"
"Oh joy... Hey, have you seen Michael or Bonnie?"
"Michael I heard was napping in his room. And Miss Barstow is in her office trying to find something on this Grinch person I've been hearing about. SIDDY is with her too."

"Okay. Thanks. I'll just wait for them then." KITT drove to the Main Lab with Peter following. "Hey KITTY? This Grinch person is a odd one. I mean why only rob companies with advaned technology and why do it every three days? Its strange you know?"

"I know. Let's just hope he doens't strike this place."

Peter's eyes went wide as a idea formed in his head. "Oooh! I thought of the perfect plan to catch him!" KITT stopped and turned a bit to face him. "Really? What did you think of?"

"Well this person steals only advanced tech right? You and SID are highly advanced so all we got to do is use you two as bait. We'll send out a little message that'll attract him here. When this Grinch comes in and steals you two, you and him will already be in your new bodies!"

"How is this a good plan Peter?" KITT asked.

Peter tapped his foot. "Hey now I'm getting to it! Before he does though, I'll plant a tracer in your bodies so we can track him to wherever he's taking the stolen goods!" Peter crossed his arms and grinned. "Pretty good plan right?"

KITT thought about it for a minute before he spoke. "And you want me and SID to follow and catch this person in our Android bodies?"

"Of course! What do you think?"

"...Peter that's the best plan I've ever heard. Haha! That's sounds like something Michael would do!"

The scientist chuckled and rubbed his head. "Well, yea... Except he won't get chewed out by mentioning it. Speaking of which, should we tell Devon about this?"

"Of course! Devon would love to hear this! I hope..." KITT turned around and continued driving towards the lab. Peter was chuckling as he jumped on his roof.

"Hey! Get your own ride!" Yelled the Trans Am.

"Nope! This is more fun KITTY!" Laughed Peter. KITT sighed and sped up a little more. "If your idea doesn't work we'll be losing more than our bodies." "I know, I know... No need to worry your little CPU off."

"Great..." KITT made an electronic sigh as he made his way through the Labortory building.

...

After hearing about what happened eariler, KITT and Peter talked to Devon, who was back in the lab along with Michael, Bonnie and SID, about Peter's idea. Michael thought it was brillant and so did Bonnie. SID clapped his little claws and said he liked it too. Devon on the other hand wasn't so sure about it.

"Devon it just might work! Remember I had to disguise myself as that sleek red sports car?" Said KITT.

"Yes I remember."

"Well it'll work! I calculated this and I'm 100% sure it'll work.

"Yes... I don't know KITT... What if this person finds out the little ruse?"

"Devon I think it'll work." Said Michael. "We'll make sure nothing happens to KITT and SID's bodies and besides." He looked at Peter, who was grinning ear to ear. "It sounds like something I should've sugessted."

"Why thank you Michael!" Peter had a faint blush on his face as he looked away and tried not to giggle like a girl. Bonnie crossed her arms as she thought about something. "Hmm... Me and Peter could make a invisable tracking device that won't be picked up so easily." At this point Devon sighed. "Oh of all the crazy ideas Peter... You come up with that one."
"Guilty as charged Devon!" Said Peter. He clapped his hands and smiled. "Well Bonnie! Let's create those Invisi-trackers!" Bonnie laughed and went with him to another part of the lab. SID beeped and decided to follow them, wanting to help out. Michael headed for KITT's door. "So we're still seeing Detective Wolfe?" Devon nodded. "Yes, he's at Gateway Alarms waiting for you."
"Okay then! Off we go pal!"
"Right Michael. Oh wait! Devon what about our bodies? Are they here yet?" Devon smiled at the Trans Am. The A.I was excited like anyone who was expecting their gift. "Maybe they are or not. You know I can't tell you that yet. Now off you two go!" he said while laughing. Michael laughed and took control as he and KITT sped out of the Labotory and out the Foundation's main gates.

"I forgot to ask Devon what he talked to Detective Wolfe about. He called him about something an hour ago." Said Michael.

"Maybe he'll tell us once we arrive. It's probably something related to this Grinch person." Said KITT.

"Alright, what's our ETA to this place?"

"ETA 40 minutes Michael at our current speed."

Michael smirked. "I want to hurry this up. Time for Super Pursuit Mode pal!"

KITT chuckled as Michael pushed the SPM button, changing KITT's outer appearance to something that came out of Star Trek. The Trans Am sped over 190 miles down the road towards their destination.
