I suck at coming up with titles. Most of what I write is forever untitled, so I'm pretty happy I came up with that.

INSTALLMENT FIVE: KNIGHT IN DISTRESS
“So you want to help me?” Michael echoed. “How?” “You’re coming with me and KITT,” Mike said firmly. “To the SSC.” Michael snorted. “Like hell I am.” “Fine, suit yourself.” Mike got up so quickly that he knocked over his chair. “I’m leaving.” He stalked toward the door. “Hey, hey!” Michael shot to his feet and grabbed his son’s arm. “Get back here!” Mike looked down at the hand gripping his elbow. “I’m Army all the way, man. You’d better let go.” “Sorry.” Michael stepped back, hands up. “Why are you leaving?” “I’m staying here if you’re gonna be as ass. You called me for help,” Mike reminded him. “Now you’ve refused my help. So there’s no reason for me to stay.” “Wha—” Michael broke off and looked out the window. “What the hell was that?” “I don’t know,” Mike said. “It sounds like—HEY!” They shot out the front door and vaulted over the porch railing, both shouting unintelligibly. The cars were a few feet apart, revving their engines aggressively. Mike opened the passenger door and got in. “KITT, what the hell are you doing?” He looked around. “And why are you in Attack Mode?” KITT stopped revving. “We were comparing systems.” “So why were you revving?” KITT was spared from answering as Sarah, Billy and Zoë appeared on his screen. “Mike, what’s wrong with KITT?” Sarah asked at once. “His engine readings are off the charts!” “I was wondering that myself.” Mike glared at KITT’s voice orb. “Apparently, he was arguing with the Trans-Am. “Did you win?” Zoë asked mischievously. “Zoë, shut up!” Sarah snapped. “KITT, explain. And go back to Normal Mode.” “I introduced myself,” KITT began, “and we compared systems. I was asked about my weapons.” “Oh, KITT,” Sarah whispered. “You told him about Brian Arrow, didn’t you?” “I had no choice. I cannot lie.” “It doesn’t matter,” Mike interrupted. “Did you ask the Knight Two Thousand if it still contained files?” KITT scanned his algorithms again. “Initiating transformation.” Once he was back to Normal Mode, he replied, “Yes, I did. That is how the argument began. The Knight Two Thousand became defensive. That is why I was revving my engine.” “He was being a guy,” Billy clarified with a laugh. “Mike, you’re rubbing off on him.” Sarah let out a heavy sigh. “I guess we’ll just have to hack into its system, won’t we?” “Not so fast.” Mike clambered over the console so that he was sitting in the driver’s seat. “I’ll ask my dad; he should know. If he won’t tell me, then you can hack.” “Speaking of your dad, how is he?” Zoë inquired. “Drinking like a fish,” Mike said bitterly. “Getting in fights every other day. I can’t walk away now. I have to help him. I just don’t know where to start.” “So bring him here,” Sarah told him. “No way!” Zoë shouted at the same time Billy yelled, “You can’t do that!” “Sarah, you know that I nearly always agree with you,” KITT said. “But this is foolhardy. Our location is a highly classified secret!” “It’s the only way, KITT,” said Mike. “I can’t stay here, and neither can he. If he doesn’t get away from this place, he’ll just drink himself to death. “I’m overruling you guys.” Sarah clicked a few computer keys. “Security override Alpha-Beta-Cappa-12.” “Sarah—” KITT began “No, KITT. This is my decision, and it’s final.” “Thanks you, Sarah,” Mike said fervently. “We’ll be there tomorrow.” She smiled and cut the connection. “Michael, I really don’t think this is a good idea,” KITT said at once. “Seriously, KITT, do you have a better idea?” “You could check him into a rehab facility.” Mike scoffed. “So the other KITT can crash through a wall and bust him out? No.” “You know that I will do whatever you ask of me,” KITT told him. “But I beg you to reconsider.” “I can’t. But thanks for the thought, partner.” Mike patted KITT’s dashboard. “See ya later.”

Thanks. How come I seem to be a part of people's fanfic so often? Of course, I am a part of my own. But there is a woman on KRO, Lynda414, Ep. 6 has a character named Aimee. I can't believe how popular I am. I will try to not get bigheaded. LOL

Amy dearling, jet lag is probably means different time in different cities , example, my city is 11 or 12 hours early than yours... mine is knight, yours are morning...so you on , i off... that's the reason i seldom met u online...
