"Who?" Disclaimer: I don't own anything! I live in a shoebox! (Well, not really.. I live in a very comfy house with 3 cats..)

Ron arrived at Kim's locker a complete mess. His blonde hair was al over the

place, the sleeve on his over shirt was tore off, and dirt covered his clothes.

"Uh oh, Hall D, again?" Asked Kim, sympathetically, Ron nodded, leaning on the

lockers. Kim sighed and closed her locker, walking with Ron to class. "Ron, you really

should stand up to them. This is the 3rd time this week that they beat on you!"

"I would, Kim. Except these guys make Godzilla look like a hamster! I'm not as

courageous as you are, K.P." Ron sighed, sliding into his chair next to Kim.

"Oh, Ron." Sighed Kim with concern for her best friend. 'Poor Ron..' She

thought as she glances at her long time friend, 'he has courage.. I know he does.. He just

hardly ever shows it through that laid back, pure heart of his..' a smile plays on her lips

as she glances from Ron to the teacher, but, her smile fades a bit as she feels suddenly

nervous and scared, she had this feeling.. Like something was going to take place,

something bad.. She wished she knew what it was, but the feeling never went away

through out the entire class. She looked to the clock, 5 minutes to noon, almost

lunchtime. She'll talk to Ron then..

Kim walked out of class and to her locker to drop off her books, after Ron told her

he had to talk to the teacher for a minute and would meet her in the lunch room in a

minute. Kim walked towards the lunchroom, her feelings of fear and anxiety grew with

every step she took, Then she heard a very loud bang and screaming, she raced to the

lunch room, her heart pounding in her chest. She ran through the lunchroom doors,

dodging frightened students as they raced from the room. 2 black masked people were

shooting guns in the lunchroom! With horror, Kim watched as one student she didn't even

know fall to the ground in a pool of blood, kids guiding wounded students away. Kim's

green eyes widened as a masked person turned to her and aimed the gun at her and fired.

Everything seemed to happen so far to her, she saw the bullet racing towards her

heart, when she felt a pair of hands push her down, a scream, and pain as she hit the

ground. Kim lifted her head to look for the two mask killers, they disappeared. She sat up

and felt a weight on her lap, she looked down and to her absolute horror, Ron laid limp

on her lap.

"Ron!!!" Screamed Kim, as she moved him and set his head on her lap, she found

a little pool of blood by his left side. She gently patted his cheek. "Come on, Ron.

Wake up! Please wake up!"

Ron moaned a little and opened his eyes half way, glancing up at Kim; a warm

half smile played on his pale face. "Hey, K.P.. Y-you ok?" He asked in a weak and raspy

voice.

Kim looked around the lunchroom to find it completely empty, she cursed and

reached for her Kimmunacator, not wanting to wait for the ambulance.

"Wade! Wade! Come in!" Kim cried frantically. Wade appeared in the device

looking confused and frightened by Kim's pale and scared look.

"Kim? What happened? What's wrong?!" Asked Wade.

"Wade, It was a nightmare! Some guys just came into the lunchroom and began

shooting students! They aimed for me but Ron pushed me away and was hit! Tell me

you can do something! I don't think Ron can wait for the paramedics!"

"Ok! Lucky I just made an auto jet and it needs to be tested. When it arrived, put

Ron in the back, hop in and it will take you both to me!"

"You?! What do you know about medicine?" Asked Kim in surprise.

"I read med. books in my spare time."

"Hehe, what spare time?" Laughed Ron very weakly but immediately stopped

because of the pain.

Tears stung Kim's eyes as she placed her finger on his lips, silencing him.

"Ron, don't talk.. You need your strength.." Wade said softly.

Later, jet took them to Wade's lab, Wade took Ron and laid him on what looked

like a hospital bed, he worked and worked on treating Ron's injury as Kim waited in

Wade's living room, on the couch while Rufus was curled up into a ball on her lap,

sobbing his little heart out.

Wade came in hours later, He looked exhausted, and he motioned for Kim to

follow. He led her into his lab and into a high tech room and in the middle of room, laid

on an infirmary bed was Ron. Kim flinched as she saw him lying there as if dead.

Bandages covered his waist; an oxygen mask covered his mouth and nose, a blood

transfusion tube and I.V. tube hooked into his right arm, the heart monitor beeping every

now and then.

Rufus leapt from Kim's shoulder and onto the side of Ron's bed, rubbing his nose

affectionately on his cheek.

"Will he be ok?" Asked Kim, almost too afraid to ask.

"It's too early to really say, Kim. The bullet went into his side and hit the spine

and he lost a great deal of blood.. There's a chance that.. He won't make it.."

Kim looked horrified, "No! He has to make it! He will make it!" She yelled,

slamming her fist into her other hand. Her look softened as she looked back at Ron's still

form.. "Well, we could try and find who these killers were.." Said Wade. "You up to it,

Kim?"

Kim gave Wade a determined look. "Yeah.. I'll head back to the school to see if I can find

anything.. " And with that she headed out the door.
