A/N: Thank you for all the reviews
Trini shook her head to clear it, staring at the house and headed to the front porch, took a deep breath and rang the doorbell, even if she was wrong, maybe she could make a new friend.
The man, Oliver, that she had remembered seeing in her one class open the door only a crack, the chain still latched, "What do you want!" he growled in an unfriendly voice that sounded like Rita's Evil Green Ranger.
Trini, however, wasn't cowed, "I'm looking for Kimberly."
The man growled, "No one here is named that!"
Trini frowned, "Are you sure I thought I saw her earlier, her name is Kimberly Anne Hart."
"I am positive," he snapped, "Good Day," he said, slamming the door in her face.
Trini frowned, this wasn't right, the voice seemed strained like he was trying to force himself to sound angry and the anger never reached his eyes. In fact, his eyes had been filled with fear. There was something he was hiding.
She was getting back into her car when it dawned on her. She knew she was jumping to conclusions, but all the pieces seemed to fit. Everybody thought Kim was dead, but what if Kim wasn't dead. What if Kim had been kidnapped and held prisoner. That would certainly explain why the man was so mean and afraid of her finding Kim.
Then again, if Kim was being held a prisoner why was she running around town? Unless the man had given her the incentive to return. Then why did she not tell her what was going on? Or did she? Had she purposely used her name without prompt to get her attention?
She groaned, she had followed the girl to get answers, not more questions. She reached over and grabbed her cell phone. She needed Jason's input on this.
Jason answered before it finished ringing the first time, "So what did you find out?"
Trini shook her head, "Nothing but more questions, a man answered the door and basically slammed it in my face."
"That's odd," Jason agreed, "Did he say anything?"
"That Kim didn't live there, but I'm not giving up, either that was Kim or her twin sister," Trini stated, "I'm going to look up their address online and find out who lives there."
Jason groaned, "If you get arrested for stalking, I am not bailing you out."
…
Tommy sank into an armchair, running his hand through his short hair, he hated using that voice, but it was the only way he could think of to get Trini to leave them alone. No scratch that, it was the only way to elongate Trini figuring out the truth. This was Trini they were talking about after all. She was stubborn to a fault.
Kim glanced at her husband, "Thanks Handsome, I didn't think I could handle that the way it needed to be handled."
"I didn't like it either, knowing Trini, she probably thinks I'm some kidnapper who is holding you prisoner."
Kim snorted, "I can believe that it doesn't matter what planet I'm living on, I'm always getting kidnapped."
Tommy smiled, "You always had to play the damsel in distress didn't you."
Before Kim could retort about anything Dylan, the older of the twins entered the room, "I'm hungry," he complained.
Kim glanced at Tommy wondering if he was thinking about Rocky as well when he said that. She loved the kids truly and wanted to protect them, but she hated that it meant that they had to cut themselves out of their friends' lives.
She stood up, "Okay let's see about making ourselves some dinner," she stated.
…
Thistle was furious, by the time he had broken through that annoying force field that that pesky Jadeon placed up around him. Not only that but he was down to one life. He was going to make it count though, he will wipe out the royal family of Acaria if it was the last thing he did. All he needed was a clue of their whereabouts.
He figured that they probably headed back to Earth, but he didn't know what Jadeon's Earth name was and he couldn't find a Kimberly Hart online, besides an explanation that she was murdered, so maybe that Hologram of her dead body to keep them from calling the authorities was a bad idea. Not only had it allow her to disappear off the grid but he had to break into the funeral home and steal the robot back before they realize that it wasn't Crytalynn.
At the moment he was at Reefside, he had hacked the phone lines and learned that someone calling from here had mentioned Crystalynn's earth name several times. Of course, that didn't mean anything, as far as he could tell Kimberly was a common name.
But it was the only clue he had so he had to follow it.
…
If there was one thing everyone could agree on it was that Trini Kwan could be very stubborn at times and this was one of those times. As soon as she had had that door slammed in her face she was determined to find out who lived at 1992 Valencia Road.
As she typed the address in the computer search engine, she felt as if someone was watching her. She glanced over her shoulder to see a man with greasy hair looking at the bookshelf behind her. She shook her head, it must be from knowing that Rita had kept a close tab on them that she was now paranoid about being watched.
Soon a name and telephone number popped up, Trini gasped out loud, this was too much of a coincidence, and there was a picture that helped prove the point, Thomas and Kimberly Oliver lived at the house and they were the two that she thought looked like her friends. So why were they hiding? Obviously, a trip back to the house was in order.
…
Thistle watched as the Earthling left the library before carefully logging into her computer and logged on, unfortunately, he didn't know much about computers and couldn't figure out what she had been looking at or the address, but he had seen the picture and knew that it was Crystalynn. So that was how she disappeared, she got married, and that Thomas follow was probably Jadeon, he couldn't be sure, he never did get a good look at Jadeon.
He stroked his chin, it looked like this girl was a friend of theirs if he captures her he could talk them into surrendering in exchange for their little friend. How hard could it possibly be to grab and keep hold of one pesky earthling?
…
Trini was almost back to the house from earlier, going through her mind about what was going on. It was obvious, now that she knew that they really were Tommy and Kim the Power Rangers. She looked through the rearview mirror and realized that she was being followed.
If Tommy and Kim didn't want Trini to know it was them, then they must be hiding from someone or something. The person following her might be out to harm Tommy and Kim and those cute little kids. She wasn't about to let that happen. She pulled over and got out of the car.
Sure enough, the car pulled over next to her, "Hello," greasy haired man from the library stated, "I appear to be lost, I'm looking for the home of Kimberly Oliver."
Trini felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up on edge. She did not trust this man, "Why were you following me?"
Thistle didn't answer he just launched at her to grab her. unfortunately for him, he didn't do his research, he didn't realize that his niece's friends were power rangers, until Trini kicked him to the ground and disappeared into the woods.
He stood up slowly, so the Earthling knew how to fight, he'll teach her a thing or two about fighting. He glanced around, now where did the girl go.
…
Trini was running as fast as she possibly could. She jumped over a fallen tree and glanced over her shoulder to see the man chasing her. She hoped she didn't end up having to climb a cliff or something. She was willing to climb in an emergency but that did not mean that she liked heights.
Just then the Earth suddenly gave way underneath her and she was falling into some sort of cavern. Up above she could hear the man getting closer. If she kept going maybe this cavern would lead somewhere and hopefully she lost him when she fell.
She hurried along using her phone as a flashlight until she was aways away from the sinkhole. She frowned, there was a dinosaur fossil in the wall but it looked wrong. The rock around it didn't match the rock in the rest of the cavern. It looked like it had been placed there like it was hiding something.
She reached out and touched the mouth of the dinosaur, it was fake! Why was it even here? Suddenly the mouth opened and the whole fossil swung out on a hinge. She gasped, it was a hidden door, but to were?
She cautiously entered the room, the fossil door swung shut behind her. This place reminded her of the old Command Center. There were several computers that seem to have a security camera located at several places around town.
She looked around, there were a couch and a large screen tv and exercise equipment and a balance beam. She walked over to the computers and picked up a picture. She had a strange feeling that she knew where she was and that they would not be happy about her being there.
The picture confirmed her suspicions. It was of Thomas and Kimberly Oliver, the two that she suspected was really Tommy Oliver and Kimberly Hart. The picture also had the little girl and baby boy that Kimberly had had at the library as well as another little girl and two little boys that looked a lot like Kim.
She set the picture back down, maybe she could find a way out. As she was about to see if she couldn't figure out how to open the secret door from the inside footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs.
…
Tommy was headed downstairs to check on the security cameras that they had secretly planted around town when he heard footsteps in the basement. Who could possibly be down there? Kim was upstairs tucking the kids into bed. So it wasn't her and nobody else knew about the basement.
He tiptoed the rest of the way down the stairs and froze. Trini was near the secret exit trying to figure out how to open it. She must have come through the secret door that they had built in case Thistle ever found them.
He cleared his throat, "What are you doing here?" he demanded in his best evil green ranger voice.
Trini, however, wasn't affected, maybe it was a lack of flashing green eyes, "Is that any way to greet a friend, Tommy?"
Tommy sighed, "Sorry, I just never thought you the type to stalk people."
"When I run into died friends that are living and breathing and having children I do, you better tell me what is going on or I'm telling everyone where you are at."
Tommy saw no other option, he began to talk.
