4. Fight or flight?
As Michael and KITT drove me home, I pulled out my phone and dialed my Mom's number, after a few rings she picked up, "Honey, where are you, are you OK?
" Yes I'm OK but I broke out of jail, mom."
"You did what?!"
"Mom, there's no time to explain, listen, there is going to be a black 1982 Trans-Am pulling up any second, I want you to pack a bag and get inside the car. It should be familiar to you, there's also a very special friend inside. I'll see you soon, mom. I love you."
"Sweetheart, please be careful, I love you too, can I talk to the person with you?"
"Sure, mom." I put the phone on speaker and Michael spoke up, "Hello, m'am, I'm Michael Knight, from the Foundation For Law And Government, I assure you your daughter is safe. We will be there shortly.
"Approximately, 10.5 minutes to be exact."
"KITT, Michael!" Oh my god!" "How in the world!?"
"Well, it appears that we are famous, Michael!"
Looks like it, pal!"
"I'll see you soon. mom!"
"OK, bye sweetie!"
I ended the call and looked at Michael, "I hope we can beat the cops in getting there first." He flashed his signature smile at me, "Hey, don't worry about it, KITT here has it under control, isn't that right?"
"Yes, Michael."
We finally got to the house, mom was excited when she got into KITT's cabin.
"I can't believe you just ran into these two!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Hey, where's your chair?"
"No need to worry, I've used my Micro-Jammer to get it to follow us, now let's go before the authorities arrive."
I nodded, "Yes, let's g-" "Uh-oh! Sirens blared and red, white and blue lights flashed, "This is the police, come out with your hands up!"
Michael looked at me, his eyes wide with fear, "But you can't get out....I know." He slowly opened KITT's door.
"Are you crazy?" I grabbed his arm, but he didn't stop and the cop spoke,
"Who are you, get back in the car now, we only want the futigtve!" Michael flashed his FLAG ID "I'm with the Foundation For Law And Government, my name is Michael Knight, I was working on this very case, that is until you guys showed up and scared off the woman!" He lifted up his right hand to eye-level, putting his index finger and thumb close to touching eachother, "I was this close!"
The cop felt suspicious now, "I am not going to fall for that, move aside!"
My rage took over, "ENOUGH!" "Michael, get me out of here, now!"
Reluctantly, the tall and handsome man went to the passenger side and picked me up and carried me bridal-style and secured me to the C300. Now that it was out of KITT's control, I stormed up to the cop, "You wanted me, here I am!" The guy looked surprised, "You, but my colleges said that the girl who broke out was "armed and dangerous". "The reason she's wanted is because of a crime she was accused of two years ago, but she ran off before she was captured!"
Michael was shocked, but remembered that KITT had told him that there was an entire campus that feared me for posing a threat to them. "How can they be such idiots?" "Julvonna would never do anything like that!" He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the sound that haunted him....gunshots! He saw me dodge bullet after bullet, one scraping the paint off the chair, leaving a burn mark, then heard a "click" from the gun.
KITT had turned around long before this, and he, mom and Michael watched the battle in awe, "I'd be careful, if I were you, sir."
Mom was confused, "What do you mean, KITT?"
"Simple, see how she keeps shifting the chair's rear tires from side to side?"
Mom saw what he meant, "Yes, what about it?"
"She's seeking an opportunity to strike back, then she'll perform her version of a Turbo-boost!"
"Oh, God, you mean she's going to....?" She watched as I charged for the cop, he was sent flying to the trunk of the patrol car, and knocked unconscious!
I moved to the front of KITT, "Mom, it's OK, he's just out cold, now KITT, do me a little favor?"
"What is it?"
"Replicate the cop's voice, tell his colleges to search a different area, we're outta here!"
