Chapter 6: FBI
3-Years Later: Trinity stared at the high school that she was assigned under cover. She was assigned to look into allegations into possible money laundering by LuthorCorp CEO Lionel Luthor and sexual misconduct committed by Lionel against his secretary. Her assignment: Smallville High School as a teacher. The FBI had paid for her college tuition for 2 years of English and Science and she very quickly applied for a teacher's position in Smallville Kansas to begin an investigation begun by the Foundation Shortly after Michael Knight's rebirth, but Michael couldn't begin to uncover the information needed to prosecute Lionel Luthor but a break came recently, when his executive assistant came to the Foundation with evidence and the FBI had begun preparing to put Trinity in place. The young 21-year-old woman stared at her students, all freshmen.
"Hello class. Miss Fredricks decided to retire last minute. I am Trinity Jean Knight, your new English teacher. Welcome to Smallville High School," She said. She then heard a knock on her door.
"Mrs. Knight, there is a young man here to see you. A young prep student's father. Lionel Luthor to see you," Mr. Black, the School principal said. She sighed and then rolled her eyes.
"I'll be back. Laura, could you take roll for me please," Trinity said to a young girl in the front of the class as she stepped out.
"I'd like to welcome you to Smallville, Mrs. Knight but you've been here before," Lionel said offering his hand to the young woman.
"Yes, I have Mr. Luthor. But you weren't here when I lived here when I was younger. I have a request and that's why Mr. Black arranged this meeting. I'd like your plans for KARR. I know you have them," Trinity said. Lionel stared at her hard.
"Your Wilton Knight's daughter. Now how could one of Wilton's heirs come to my backyard without me knowing it," Lionel said surprised.
"I also know you were my father's partner on the KARR project before one of your technicians misprogrammed my father's prototype. So tell me, did my father give you the plans or did you steal them," Trinity countered.
"We drew up different plans: One for Knight Industries, another for LuthorCorp. Your father was unaware of my separate plans for KARR. I had wanted to rebuild KARR to work out the flaws my technician put into the car, but it seems the CPU was appropriated by the FBI. You should come to LuthorCorp and see the progress," Lionel said. Trinity smiled.
"How is your son, Alexander," She said. She remembered the Meteor Shower that had struck this small town of about 25,000. It had devastated the town but the President had declared Smallville a disaster area. But secretly the FBI was investigating the Meteor Shower wondering what kind of effects the fragments would have on the townspeople. But Trinity's investigation was separate.
"The doctors are still running tests on him to make sure there wasn't any lasting damage due to the meteor shower 3 years ago," Lionel said.
"Thank you Mr. Luthor. Now I have a class to get back to," She said turning on her heel, but Lionel grabbed her arm.
"Don't fool yourself, Mrs. Knight. I know your working for the FBI. Why you're here I won't confess to know, but Stay out of my family's business," Lionel warned.
"The Knight Automated Roving Robot was part of my family's business. You may have been my father's partner, but the Roving Robot was his design. How dare you duplicate his plans without his consent or my mother's. And you're right. I do work for the FBI. I will keep my eye on you Lionel," Trinity said, anger flaring in her eyes. She walked back into her class room to see her partner William Jacobs there.
"Michael and Dr. Graiman would like to see you. We've made progress on KARR," He said.
"Where are my students," She asked.
"The principal dismissed them so we could talk. You compromised your investigation by talking with Lionel. Does he know he's being investigated by The Foundation?" William asked.
"I asked him for the plans for KARR. He has them," Trinity said.
"Looks like we're gonna have to steal them then," Jacobs said. She smiled.
"I'll take care of it," Trinity said smiling….
