Chapter 3: Chloe is killed
The Knight Automated Roving Robot sat in front of Smallville Junior High School waiting for its driver. The ten-year-old Trinity Jean Knight ran toward her friend, the black Trans-Am that had been modified as the Knight Industries vehicle that would be used for the Foundation for Law And Government.
"Open, up, KARR," She said as she approached the driver's side door. The door opened and she through her books in the passenger side along with her backpack.
"How was your day, Miss Trinity?" The vehicle's voice processor asked her. She smiled as she sensed the vehicle had a genuine interest in her.
"Fine, KARR. Math is particularly boring," She said as she activated the laser restraint system and the vehicle began to move in reverse to make room for a bus.
"KARR, please move forward. That bus can't come in and pick up more kids," Trinity said. She saw, as if by magic the shifter move from Reverse to drive and the vehicle began to move forward. Both KARR and Trinity were unable to see young Chloe Sullivan bend down to pick up one of her books which fell out of her hands.
"Miss Trinity, I have received word over the Foundation's private carrier wave that Wilton Knight is dead. Per Dr. Charles Graiman's request, a funeral has been set in a few days. We have been requested to attend. He is after all, your father and my creator," KARR said. Trinity nodded absentmindedly. They then felt the car go over something then heard a voice scream.
"Oh My God! KARR, back up the car, now!" Trinity said. The vehicle quickly reversed itself to see her new friend Chloe Sullivan on the ground.
"Chloe! I didn't see you!" She said.
"Help me," Chloe whispered. Trinity glanced at the prototype.
"Call for an ambulance! She's hurt!" Trinity said.
"Have someone put her inside me and we will take her to Smallville Medical Center. By the time the medical ambulance gets here it will take exactly 15 minutes and she doesn't have that type of time. She is bleeding internally and there are some other issues going on with Miss Sullivan," KARR responded. Trinity saw Mrs. Black come over.
"Is she all right?" Mrs. Kara Black asked Trinity. Trinity shook her head no.
"Could you put her in the car, please? I'll make sure she gets to the hospital," Trinity said. Mrs. Black picked up Chloe and was surprised to see the passenger side door open on its own.
"Thanks," Trinity said as she gathered Chloe's books and the driver's side door opened on its own and Trinity got in.
"Pursuit Mode, please, KARR," Trinity said. She saw two lights on the dashboard switch positions and the car was taking off going at least 70 toward Smallville Medical Center.
Smallville Medical Center-Davis Bloome, a Paramedic smiled at Brenda Melvin who was a young intern from Metropolis General when he saw KARR pull up.
"The Young woman in the passenger side of the vehicle requires medical attention. You would do well to listen to me and take care of her as quickly as possible," KARR said over his intercom system.
"What do we have here," Davis asked Trinity as the young girl got out of the car.
"Internal bleeding and some system wide damage to her. My prototype accidently ran her over," Trinity said. She then sensed it. She got a sense of both familiarity and yet rage from this young man. As if He were related to her in some way.
"What's the girl's name," Brenda asked.
"Chloe Sullivan. Her parents are Gabriel and Moira Sullivan. Gabriel works for LuthorCorp and Moira works for a local law firm. I'll have my prototype call her father, "Trinity said.
"What's your name, young lady?" Davis asked her.
"Trinity Jean Knight. I am related to Wilton Knight, who is the Chairman and CEO of both Knight Industries & Knight Industries Technology. I understand there is a Knight Industries Technology office right here in Smallville," Trinity said.
"I'm familiar with it. I don't recognize your father's name though. Try to get a hold of Chloe's dad as quickly as you can," Davis said, as he stared into Trinity's eyes and again got a sense of both familiarity and yet animosity from the girl, as if the two were related but were enemies. Trinity ran back toward KARR.
"What is required of me?" KARR asked. Trinity smiled at him as she got in.
"Do you have a phone in here," She asked.
"Affirmative, Miss Trinity. It is a video phone. Who do you wish me to contact?" KARR asked, wishing to please her.
"Gabriel Sullivan, and do it quickly! That's his daughter in there," She urged. She then saw a man dressed in a leather jacket, white T-shirt and blue jeans walk across the walkway headed into the hospital. She stared at him, having almost a moment of recognition.
"Make the call, KARR. Use a sample of my voice if you want to. I'll be back," Trinity said.
She walked back into the hospital, unaware that the man she had just seen was her step-father and wanted in Smallville for a crime committed in 1961 that he didn't commit…
