Her Worst Nightmare
Kat walked across the lab to where Boom and Bridge were working together. Her smile showed that today she was happy, but what no one knew was that happiness would be shattered
Time went on with Kat checking on the two boys every now and then to make sure they were okay.
"Hi, Kat" Bridge said "we're almost finished…"
"Okay, let me know when you're done, I want to see your work" she replied, she had no clue what they were working on, but she figured it would be something good because between the two of them they were surprisingly capable where technology was concerned; other matters were… questionable.
"All right, Kat" Boom said "We will"
"Thanks" Kat left the room and headed for the main lab, unaware of the stupid mistake that had just occurred in the other room
Bridge had miss wired their new device, meaning simply that once they applied power the outer surface would carry a lethal amount of current, but the boys were blissfully unaware of their blunder, or how much this invention would cost them, and SPD.
Kat was focused on her work, unaware of what was going on
Cruger came into the lab
"Hi Miss Manx, how are things going?" he asked
"Fine, Doggie" she replied and looked up at him from her computer screen… what about him was so attractive to her… she knew it extended far beyond appearance to something much deeper, something she couldn't explain, but the feelings were there… the only question that existed was, were they mutual.
"I wonder what Kat is going to think of this?" Boom said
"Me too… I think she'll like it" Bridge replied "it defiantly is unique"
"Do you think we should test it?" Boom asked
"Sure" Bridge replied then turned the power on, unaware of what was to come
The current went straight through Boom's hand and into him… and stopping his heart. Bridge turned the power off as Boom fell to the floor, dead.
Kat wasn't sure why she had just had a bad feeling, but something felt off.
"Commander, something is…" Bridge ran before she could finish
"Commander Cruger, Kat… I have some bad news…" Bridge said
"What is it Bridge?" Kat asked
"Yes, Cadet Carson what is it?" Cruger asked
"The invention Boom and I were working on… there's something wrong with it?"
"What did it do?" Kat asked
"I don't know… but…" Bridge sighed knowing he would have to tell her the truth, he swallowed his pride and quickly blurted "Boom is dead!"
"What?" Cruger demanded
"Boom is dead, I believe the outer casing of the item was live, he had his hand on it and he was electrocuted"
Kat's vision blurred with her tears, Boom had been a good friend of hers… more along the lines of family. She ran passed Bridge and into the lab where Boom lay.
"Boom?" she said then checked his pulse "No…" she whispered as she felt a gloved hand on her shoulder
"I'm sorry, Kat" Bridge said
"It wasn't your fault Bridge" Kat sighed "it was no one's fault"
Cruger came up and saw where Kat knelt by Boom, Cruger joined Kat on the floor and hugged her near as she showed that this broke her heart.
A little later they were in the command center.
"Rangers report to the command center…" Cruger called over the intercom
"Why did Cruger call us instead of…" Jack trailed off when he got a good glimpse of Kat's tearstained face "…Kat"
"Kat, what's wrong?" Sky asked
"That's why you were called rangers… Boom is dead" Cruger whispered
