KP:REDEMPTION
It was sunny, worm, not a cloud in the sky at Middleton air field. She was going to be paid a good some of money for this and yet she felt like the trip to the hottest desert in the world was going to be boring as hell as she watched people move into the cargo plain that would leave for Egypt as soon as it was ready.
In total there were thirty people going. Doctor Smith the man paying for the expedition. he looked like a man that had to much money and time on his hands and his assistant Red Mobe. Then there was mostly treasure hunters and some diggers looking for the tome of some person that died long ago. And all of them where over thirty and showed it well.
One last adventure I said. Do something amazing. What was I thinking not one of them even looks like they shaved? Why didn't someone say just stay home Kim thought to her self was the sun betting down on her.
Then she heard car coming from be hind her. Turning to see a sand colour old hummer. Wonder who this come be Kim thought.
The driver stepped out was about her age with medium height with jet black heir as long as Kim's but was loosely braded with a blue ribbon. He turned well hello handsome Kim's mined thought with out her permission.
"Ah Ms Valentine I'm glad you could come" Doc Smith said as he was walking up to him and was shaking his hand. "Same" he said but didn't look like he meant it.
Kim was walking up to them as well know. "Well let me introduce Kim Possible. the safety for the trip" Smith said.
"Hi" Kim said and got a good look as his face. What was I saying about this trip being boring. She thought as his Lift eye was dark brown and his right was light blue witch she thought aid to how he looked.
"Jack, Jack Valentine" he said with looking right at her.
"Well I think it's time to head out don't you" Smith said as he walked to get things going.
This was the only guy her age so she thought shed stick with him as she didn't like thought of all the other old man staring at her.
"So are you after the treasure as well or the fame" Kim thought of some way to start a conversion with. "I could care lass if we fond the first faros dreary. I'm only here for the money at the end. But at lest I get to talk to someone cute" Jack said as he was checking on his things with a smirk.
This was looking better by the minuet till she heard the call for the plain and that Jack should move his vehicle into the cargo hold.
The flight there was seven hours long. Jack said that they should sleep as he said they'd need to be sharp when they got there and she had no objshins to that as Jack offered to let her use his hummer with air concision. But know they was driven across the desert into god knows where with a convoy of three trucks, two desert designed cars, Dr Smith's personal vehicle but at lest Kim was in Jack hummer talking at then right of the convoy.
"So why you in this for just the money?" Kim asked
Jack polled out a old compass and lifted the lid on it "for her" he said as he handed Kim it and she seen a little girl with very long light brown heir and green eye's like her smiling. "oh how adorable. What's her name" Kim asked "Elle" he said smiling. "So how old is your sister then?" Kim asked next.
"She'll be six next mouth and she's not my sister. She's my little girl" Jacks said
Kim only razed an eyebrow and Jack seen it.
"Not what you think. I adopted her two years ago from an orphanage in LA that was closing down and she looked like she could do with someone" Jack said
"Well what a sweet guy you turning out to be" Kim said
He just looked ahead like he'd been hit hard. "What? Did I say something wrong?" Kim asked.
"No. it's just I haven't given her what she really wants. She says that she's ok but I know she wants a home. A real home" Jacks says.
This make Kim think a real home?. "What do you mean a real home?" she asks
He looks at her for only a second then said "it a long story"
"and like we don't have two weeks out here to talk" Kim said
Jack just looked at the compass "I've always been on the move even before I adopted Elle. We've been calling this hummer home but I know she wants "a" home" Jack said
"Wait you've lived in this thing for years. What about school? Why not just move in with your family?" Kim asked
"Well like her I'm an orphan as well and I school her or is she schooling me now. I can never tell she always wanting to learn" Jack said smile at the last pit.
Knowing this must be a sensitive subject for him she asked "so what are you doing on here then. You don't look like a treasure hunter or someone who wants look study it all day?"
"Dr Smith hired me to make sure no one gets hurt out here" Jack said not looking at her.
He's hiding something she thought.
"anyway what about you?" he said before she could asked him something ales.
"me. Same thing I guess. But this is the last solo I do before I join GJ" Kim said.
"what you mean solo?" Jack asked
"I mean solo mission." Kim said but Jack still looked confused then his eye's looked shocked. "You mean you're thee Kim Possible. Girl how can do anything. Fight insane people and help others. That Kim Possible" Jack said.
"at your survive" Kim said proudly.
Jack looked shocked but in a good way. "I cant believe Kim Possible is in my car. Elle going to flip." Jack says.
" oh whys that" Kim asked
"she a big fan of your" Jack said smiling.
"where is she if you're here then?" Kim asked wondering where he left her for the time being.
"she's in a day-care sinter next to the hospital in Middleton." Jack said.
"my mom works with them some of the time. She a surging there" Kim said
"Small world" He say then the slow down. "What going on?" Kim asks. "setting up camp. It'll be dark soon better to set up know" Jacks says as they poll to a stop.
"so no love life with all the travailing and looking after Elle then?" Kim said helping Jack set up a tent.
"not really. Hay didn't you date that friend of yours. What's was his name? Ron Stoppable" Jack asked
"You know you're the only person to say his name right first time. And we did but after high school we know we loved each other but more like brother and sister love. He got married and going to have kid soon" Kim said looking back to then and other dates she had in collage.
"well I going to get some shut eye. Good night" Kim said as she went in her tent.
"good night" Jack said back.
It was a week into the trip know and Kim and Jack where always near each other talking and well getting to know one another like Jack know kun fu as well and they spar at night so the don't get heat stork from the sun. But some thing was off with Jack. Kim missions and GJ's training helped her to read people like a book but Jack was something like book with chapters missing from it. On the seventh night very one was eating and resting but Kim couldn't find Jack or Dr smith and she looked around camp till she heard "you know I'm paying you to keep an eye out not sweet talk miss Possible" and it was Dr Smiths voice.
"who I talk to is my biasness not yours and don't worry. No one well get near here with out me knowing" that was Jacks voice but what where they talking about as Jack then walked of to his Hummer.
Jack had grabbed a long case and a cloke with a hood and was now on top of the biggest sand dune near the camp as he dos every night.
Getting closure Kim seen that Jack was in a world of his own and as soon as she made a sound he spun around and was pointing a gun right at her with his Light blue eye looking right at her.
"oh god Kim I'm sorry. I didn't know you were there" Jack said potting the gun away.
"why do you have a gun" Kim asked but not really surprised by it.
"em same reasons as a condom. I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it" Jack said getting out what looks like a scoop and tarts to look around him.
"what's got you so jumpy lately. what's wrong?" Kim asked sitting next to him as he hands her the scoop for her to look thou.
"Elle" he lied and Kim knew it. He said he did like not knowing how she's dong but this was something else.
"you know its cute when you talk about Elle" Kim said as she leaned to him.
Kim and Jack had been flirting all week and it was driving her mad. One minute they be close flirting then the next thing Jack would be walking away and know it looked like he was going to do the same tonight.
"look Kim I emmm" Jack was cut of as Kim had landed her lips right on his.
After she came back for air Jack looked like he had done something terrible. "What's wrong?" Kim asked.
"Kim I cant do this. Not to you" Jack said looking down at the sand. "what do you mean you cant?" Kim said.
He looked right into Kims eye's. "you wouldn't like the real me Kim." Jack said.
"then show me" Kim said wanting to know what was casing him distress.
He looked at her then flicked the case open and Kim seen what looked like an advanced snippier rifle then he said "after I left the orphanage I kept moving from place to place downing what I could to live. I was sixteen at the time when an old compile in Japan took me in. They looked after me as if I was there own and I thank them always but then they came."
Jack looked different know. As if he was a different person. "They called there self's the Dark Daggers. They where ninjas that where looking for something or someone I couldn't tell. They dragged us to a where house and torched the Ikari's then killed them in front of me. Then they went to work on me. Twelve hours I lasted as they beat, cut, brake my bones, electrocute me, let snake and scorpions bite and sting me then give me the antivenin. Then when they leave me to recover to start again. An old man shows up and rescues me." Jack smiled at he end bit.
"The man was a sense at a school. He did all he could so save me thinking I was a goner. But somehow I live and get better. The man turned out to be the Miss Ikari's brother and offered to train who to fight. Three years I train then I hunted for the Dark Daggers and I kill them all."
Kim remembers the Dark Dagger from GJ as the report said all where killed. Over a hundred of then killed in one night and no one knew how did it.
"After that I move on from the school saying I would come back some day but as I move a find others. Killers, rapists, human traffickers, drug dealers, you name it I fond it and a killed them all. Some even paid me to kill other so I needed armour. I end up with something like a battle suite but I covered it with a cloak and hood like this one" Jack says as he points to the one he had on.
"as time goes on the under world comes to call me. The Jackal." Jack finally says.
