Jason's eyes filled with hatred as Sarah ran to me.
"Mike…how did you live? How did you?" She would have kissed me but I held her shoulders tight in my hands.
"Go to Carrie's pod…her and Torres are there…don't ask questions…just go." She didn't hesitate. They had a plan and the minute I cued them in it was death day for Mirage. I spun the gun on my finger and looked to Jason, his hate filed glare and his attack ready body stance gave me chills.
"I would say I'm impressed but I'm really not." He stepped toward me. KITT's driver side door opened and Zach climbed out, dressed in his black cargos and a fake government agency t-shirt. His mother came down the stairs, rifle in hand. Zach didn't have a weapon so I thought. They had trained him on a gun but wouldn't let him use one with bullets…but darts were another story. "Remember the poison Mike? This time it's instant stuff boy-o…you're hit you're done." He didn't scare me. The three of them attacked at once, I tripped Zach and sent him across the floor. Hitting Sandra felt so good…her nose snapped under the impact. Jason received a roundhouse kick in the side and uppercut to the face. His gun slipped to the floor, he reached but I fired mine own twice, and Torres, Carrie, and Sarah came in, armed.
"All three of you, on the floor NOW!" Torres had Sandra on the floor, hand spread, Zach came quietly to Sarah and Jason was the only one who put up somewhat of a fight. He went to get up and I slammed his chest back into the concrete.
"Spread those fingers Mirage…not so bad ass anymore…are we?" He thrashed under my boot, I pressed harder; there wasn't any satisfaction of his wheezing when the noise caught my ears. I cuffed his hands behind his back and pulled him to eye level. "Leave me alone…I'm sick of fighting for position with you…" He growled. "Have fun in jail." Two other agents dragged him away from me…there was no remorse for the loser. He had no respect for anyone…kind of like me at one point…but I wasn't that bad…at least I didn't think so. Sarah; changed out of her wedding entire and now in something a bit more comfortable snuck over to me.
"Think we're even?" I smiled a bit.
"You could say that." Dr. Graimen strode happily to embrace his daughter…I somewhat felt his pain…but not quite. He was like my father now…considered mine died and technically left me long before he left earth anyway.
"Thank Michael…you saved everyone…" I looked down, as Billy and Zoe stepped into the room.
"Not quite everyone." They all looked confused, lost in a world they couldn't see. I held out the palm of my hand where my blood was spilling from the sliced skin. Zach had nicked me…so to speak. I felt my knees buckle and my weight force me to the floor;
"No! Mike! Don't let this happen!" Zach froze in place. He was the only one of the Mirage family not taken away. Sarah's cries were barely heard. The light faded and the attack of the poison from before was back. Minus the extended period of agony. Dr. Graimen moved first, grabbing Sarah's bottle from before off the desk and examining the four or five drops left in the bottle. I was out, completely cold on the hard floor, wanting the pain to stop.
"This isn't enough is it Sarah?"
"Try it Dad." I could feel the injection and that was about it. They waited, all of them for even the slightest beat of my heart.
"Sarah…I think he's gone…" From what it looked like, I was gone.
"Agh…" The room lit up
"Mike…" Everything seemed to return…Sarah's eyes no longer pleaded and I lived…and just for all the kids out there…we passionately kissed.
Welcome back Michael…I've missed you…
"Ditto KITT…tons." I ran my fingertips along his steering wheel. The engine roared.
Michael, I had plenty of faith.
"You get more and more human every day…"
