Chapter 2
Strange Goings On
It had been about a week since Kim and Ron arrived home, their first order of business was to unload the coffin onto the Middleton museum .
"It's pretty much one-of-a-kind, Professor Johnson, I've never seen anything like it ." Kim remarked.
"True, I'll place it into the new acquisitions area, until we can get a better feel for it ." Professor Johnson replied, smiling, this wasn't the first time that Kim had given something over to the museum.
"Okay, I'll be here when you plan to unveil it ." Kim replied, walking off, with Ron in tow, he looked back at the coffin one more time with a shiver, before catching up with Kim, and expressing his concerns.
"That coffin is a thousand miles of bad road, KP ." he said, still shivering.
"Ron, you're letting your mind get the better of you, this is not a B horror movie, this is real life, there's nothing in there that can hurt anyone ." Kim replied, shaking her head.
"That we know of ." Ron replied, rather quietly, he really didn't feel like hearing Kim talking about how things just couldn't happen in life, even though he was a walking example on how life has a strange sense of humor .
So, it was later that afternoon, that Kim and Ron sat down in their favorite booth at Bueno Nacho, and relaxed with their usual Naco Night orders.
"Man, I am so glad that they brought back Naco Night, this is the best, KP ." Ron said, setting down in front of his usual four trays full of food .
"Yeah, I get to watch you transform into garbage gut again, wonderful ." Kim said, with a slight bite of sarcasm in her voice .
"Hey, I'm a growing boy ." Ron said, his mouth half full of Nacos .
"Swallow before you talk, Ron, please ." Kim said, looking slightly repulsed.
"Sorry, KP, but I'm still telling you that there's something out of place about that coffin ." Ron said again, making Kim roll her eyes.
"Still with the coffin, Ron, you sound like a broken record ." Kim commented.
"Trust me, Kim, something bad is gonna go down ." Ron replied, dropping the conversation at that .
Meanwhile, at the Middleton museum :
The noticeable greenish tint near the new acquisitions wing was not what would first shock anyone that saw it, but the appearance of a beautiful raven haired woman, standing next to a blue skinned man dressed in a blue lab coat .
"Of all of your hair brained ideas, this one has got to top the list, Dr. D. " the woman said, looking at her boss, Dr. Drakken, with a frown on her face.
"Once we steal this gold coffin, I can use the money to finance my latest scheme designed at revenge against Kim Possible ." Drakken said with a laugh.
"I'm gonna put this one in the 'failed' category right now ." Shego replied, a slight smirk to her face.
"Put a ham in, wiseacre, this one will work this time ." Drakken said.
"And how do you plan to fence this, it's not like Kimmie's not going to notice it's missing, she's the one that found it ." Shego commented.
"Well, that'll be taken care of . . . ouch !" Drakken exclaimed, he had cut his hand on a sharp corner of the coffin, the cut had drawn blood almost immediately.
"See what I mean ." Shego said, still just as sarcastically.
"Whatever ." Drakken commented, feeling as though there had to be an easier way of getting his prize out of the museum .
At that time, the coffin lid opened widely, spewing smoke out of it.
"What the . . ." Drakken said, turning around, and looking at the coffin.
"O-Kay, Dr. D., this is starting to creep me out ." Shego commented, as Drakken turned to look back at her.
"If you think that is creepy, then stick around, my dear ." came a voice that neither of the evil beings in the room recognized, it had a heavy German accent to it.
"Did you say that, Dr. D. ?" Shego asked, looking at her boss, her face had fear etched deep into it.
"Not me . . ." Drakken said, he was unable to finish what he said, as two chalk white hands grabbed him, and a head appeared out of the smoke, he was white as death, with jet black hair, tinted grey around the temples, and just over top of the ears.
"Breakfast in bed . . . how nice ." the man said, sinking three inch long fangs into Drakken's neck, just above the collar bone, the scientist screamed out in pain, his screams were drowned out by the screams of fear from his sidekick, as she watched her boss have his very life force drained from his body.
"And freshly squeezed at that . . . now, you were saying about creepy, my dear ?" the man said, walking out of the coffin, with blood still dripping off his fangs, and down his chin.
"Who . . . no . . . WHAT are you ?" Shego asked, backing away in horror.
"I am the Prince of Darkness . . . I am Count Dracula, btu you may call me Alucard, my dear ." the centuries old father of all vampires said, walking slowly toward Shego .
"And I am unimpressed ." Shego said, firing off a plasma blast at her target.
"My dear, you cannot kill that which is already dead ." Dracula said, still walking toward her.
"Ever see a human move faster than light before ?" Shego asked, and with that, she took off so fast, that Dracula had no time to react to her movements.
"Oh . . . and I was hoping for a spot of desert . . . oh, well, I guess I can always dine out tonight ." he said, and with that, he disappeared into the shadows, abandoning his coffin, and the dead body of Dr. Drakken on the floor of the museum .
The following morning :
Kim and Ron had gone to Bueno Nacho for their usual Saturday afternoon lunch, they were sitting in their favorite booth when Ron noticed that Kim wasn't eating .
"Uhh . . . KP . . . you gonna eat your chimmerito ?" Ron asked.
"Something's bugging me, Ron ." Kim said.
"You don't say ?" Ron shot back with a bite of sarcasm in his voice.
"Well, we find a gold coffin, and Drakken doesn't show up to steal it to finance some take over the world scheme, this is just too weird ." Kim said, her fingers placed under her chin.
"I don't know, maybe Drakken's decided to take some time off, you know, to rethink his life, we did bust him pretty hard the night of the prom ." Ron explained.
"Yeah, but . . ." Kim said, she was unable to finish her sentence, as the Kimmunicator sounded it's familiar beeping tones.
"What's the sitch, Wade ." Kim asked.
"Murder at the Middleton museum, Kim ." Wade said.
"Who bought it, buddy ?" Ron asked.
"Drakken ." Wade replied, to the stunned faces of Kim and Ron.
"How ?" Kim asked.
"Exsanguination ." Wade said.
"English, please, Wade ." Ron said.
"He was drained of every drop of his blood ." Wade replied.
"EEW . . . SICK AND WRONG !" Ron shouted.
"Where was his body found ?" Kim asked.
"The new acquisitions, near that coffin you brought back ." Wade replied, making Ron's features fall somewhat.
"We're on it, Wade ." Kim said, pocketing the device, and walking for the door.
"I told you that thing was a thousand miles of bad road, KP ." Ron said, reminding her of what he had said a million times since they had returned home.
"Whatever, come on, let's go check it out ." Kim replied, as she headed for the parking lot, and Ron's souped up Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 .
At the new acquisitions wing of the Middleton museum :
Kim was looking around for clues, while Ron was talking to Professor Johnson, the museum curator.
"So, when did you find the body ?" Ron asked.
"When I got back here to take inventory, I found it lying right where it is now ." Professor Johnson replied, his face blanching somewhat at the scene before him, the sun was hanging low in the sky, which meant that sundown was only a few minutes away.
"Ron, I found some writing on the coffin lid ." Kim said, motioning for Ron.
"What is it, KP ?" Ron asked as he examined the coffin lid, and saw writing, etched deep into the heavy gold lid of the coffin.
"What language is that ?" Kim asked, looking at Ron.
"German ." Ron replied.
"What's it say ?" Kim asked, she watched, as Ron's face drained of all color, he read the coffin lid, in a hoarse, scared voice.
"Nosfaratu ." he said, without any emotion in his voice at all.
"Translate, please ?" Kim asked.
"Loose translation ?" Ron asked.
"Please, and thank you ." Kim replied.
"Vampire ." Ron replied .
