Hey everybody… sorry it's been a while since I've updated this. I'm hoping that the next updates will be quicker. All I've got to say, is buckle up… it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Let me say Thank-you to all those that reviewed the previous chapter: Joe Stoppinghem, Invader Johnny, CajunBear73, Katsumara, Thomas Linquist, Jimmy1201, Reader101w, Mr. Wizard, and the anonymous reviewers… Y'all are the greatest!

Disclaimer: Why do I keep putting this here? I guess it's just become habit. I don't own the KP characters. I also wish to mention that my OC of Moriarty is just that, an OC, and NOT the character from Sherlock Holmes fame.

Chapter 6

Previously…

Will huffed. "Fine… what did you find out?"

The cards, they were clues as to who's behind everything! In fact, they actually gave me the name of who is behind all of this!"

"That's preposterous Mr. Load. Why would the person behind all this tell us their name?"

"I think once you hear who it is, you will understand."

"Well… tell me."

"What first threw me off was the card that said "Mister", and I couldn't find much at all on the surname "Troyia". Then I realized that Mister could be shortened to Mr.. As a result, you have the letters MRTROYIA." Will copied down the letters on a piece of paper as Wade read them off. "Notice anything?"

"Oh snap…"

"Yup… The person behind all this is none other than Moriarty."

…x x x x…

Without even saying good bye, will hastily hung up the phone. He knew that he couldn't directly contact Kim, and he also realized that he couldn't talk to Dr. Director over any kind of electrical device. This would have to be in person, but Dr. Director's last known position was one of the Briefing Rooms, and that there were at least twenty of them spaced throughout the entire complex.

The only other information that Dr. Director's 'Number One' agent had been privy to at this point, was that one of their Special Ops jets was going to be taking off for a scheduled test run. He hadn't been informed that Kim would be on the plane, but he knew that this was most likely the only way Kim would be leaving the complex on her solo mission. So… he had to get to the main hangar and runway… fast.

…x x x x…

Kim was led out of the Briefing room by Dr. Director, but was dressed in a full flight-suit, and she had the helmet on with the visor down. As far as anyone knew that they might run into on the way, she was one of the pilots going on the test run.

Being fairly close to the main hangar, it only took them about five minutes to reach it, but neither of them knew that Agent Will Du was rushing headlong towards the same area with vital information that most likely would change the course of events.

Kim had received a few hours of flight school, and was shown just enough so she would at least look competent to anyone who might see her boarding the small two-man jet. She would ride in the rear seat behind the pilot, and the only thing the pilot knew was that they were taking a Special Operative to specific coordinates where they would parachute to the ground. The pilot had no idea who the passenger was.

While Kim climbed the ladder to reach the rear cockpit, she had no idea that at this point in time Will Du had bull-rushed a guard that was designated to watch the main entrance of the hangar from the main building. The orders given to this guard by Dr. Director herself was to let NO ONE enter the hangar until precisely 0845.

So when Will Du arrived at 0844, he was presented with a rather… large obstacle. The guard easily had a foot on him in height, and weighed about 200 more pounds. The guard had been ordered to use non-lethal means of detaining someone, and he was one of the top personnel trained in advanced hand to hand combat. So when Will came around the corner and sized him up for a second or two, the guard was completely surprised to find the younger and smaller agent, rush him. The guard figured he wouldn't have any trouble taking Will down. He was wrong.

Will Du may have been smaller and not near as strong or skilled in hand to hand, but he was quick and wiry. As a result, Will was able to keep from getting wrapped up, and shoved the larger man into the wall, breaking his nose. Blood sprayed on the wall, and Will actually winced a bit, knowing that later on he would pay for this dearly. But right now he HAD to get to Dr. Director, and maybe even Kim, if he wasn't too late.

Will busted through the door just as the jet was disconnected from its tow vehicle on the tarmac, and the canopy closed over Kim's head. Dr. Director spun around with her pistol drawn, ready for anything. "Will… what the hell…"

""Dr. Director!" Will huffed, as he was nearly out of breath. "We need to keep Possible from leaving! Mr. Load discovered that the person behind these last day's events is none other than Moriarty!"

"What!" Was all the Director of GJ could get out just as the jet's engines roared to life and was propelled down the runway. The next thing Will felt was a rather large hand on his shoulder, and he looked up at a very upset GJ guard.

…x x x x…

Just before being slammed into the back of her seat, Kim looked over into the hangar and saw Will Du rushing up behind Dr. Director, and her drawing her weapon. Just as a large man with a blood-red face and stained uniform was coming up behind the two of them, the force of acceleration forced her to look straight ahead.

The jet screamed down the runway and lifted off in record distance, leaving Kim's stomach back on the ground… at least that's what it felt like. She wracked her brain trying to piece together what she had just seen in the hangar.

What the heck was all that about… and who was that with the bloody nose? Something serious just happened back at GJ. All this went through her mind as she could feel the jet starting to slow a bit. Apparently they were nearing the coordinates already where she was to jump out.

Kim had had no conversation with the pilot, and that's the way it was supposed to be. In fact, the radio equipment in her flight helmet wasn't on the same frequency as the pilot, so she couldn't talk to him, even she wanted to.

The next sequence of events, was that the jet was going to convert to hover mode and Kim was to watch for a green LED to light up on the panel in front of her. Then she was to press a button marked "Open Canopy". In the Briefing room Kim was informed that she was going to be parachuting from about ten thousand feet. This wasn't quite as high as a normal parachute jump for recreation sky diving, but it was well within parachuting parameters.

Without even realizing it, Kim was making history by jumping out of a hovering fighter jet.

She exited the plane perfectly, and when her chute finally popped open, Kim looked around the sky above her. The jet was gone, and she was definitely on her own from this point on.

While gently dropping towards the ground, Kim started to go over in her head what was to happen next. She was to meet with another operative about a hundred yards from her landing site, and from there she would be transported by ground to a hidden bunker. There she was to pick up a device that even she didn't know what it did. All Dr. Director said was that it was a matter of International Security.

When Kim asked why they needed her to pick it up, Betty said that those holding the device would only give it to Kim Possible for transportation. Something about her being the only person they trusted to get the device to GJ Headquarters.

…x x x x…

After landing on the ground, Kim took off her helmet and pulled out her GPS, noting that she had landed within ten square feet of her planned drop point. She had done better before, but none the less, the teenage girl was quite happy with the results. Now all she had to do was find her ground contact and…

"Don't take another step." A voice said behind her, and Kim started to turn around. "You turn around and I'll put a bullet through that pretty head of yours."

Knowing that something was definitely amiss, she did as she was told. But instead of being tied up, or even seeing who had gotten the jump on her, a hand came around from behind her head and placed a white cloth over her nose and mouth. Before she could even say anything or wonder what was going on, Kim Possible went limp and passed out.

…x x x x…

"Agent Du… you're coming with me." The big guard said after the jet took off down the runway.

Before Will could respond, Dr. Director spoke. "Sorry, Agent Markus. I need Will with me for at least the next hour. Go get cleaned up, and you can have Agent Du tomorrow morning."

"Yes ma'am." With that said, the large guard left the hangar, and Dr. Director and Will stayed a few minutes longer.

"So Will… that snake Moriarty did survive that building collapse. Ronald did say that he thought he saw the man inside as everything was falling around them, but he wasn't sure. It appears that Moriarty is responsible for the theft of both Dr. Bortel's device and Drakken's shampoo concentrate."

Will snorted. "Even Stoppable could figure out what he would be planning to do with this stuff."

"Don't be so derisive towards Ron Stoppable." Dr. Director said, admonishing her subordinate. "I have a feeling that there is more to Kim's paramour than either of us could possibly know."

"Be that as it may Dr. Director, we still need to keep this from getting out to the general public." As the two spoke, Will and Betty were walking back into the main corridor of GJ. "We need to speak with Wade Load before he talks to anyone else, but for some reason I just don't trust the boy. After all, he's not even a teenager yet."

"Don't forget Will, that young kid already has two college degrees and a Doctorate under his belt. I think he's smart enough to not say anything. But I do agree that we need to speak with him ASAP, and possibly work with him on bringing this situation to an agreeable end. It would also be best if we can get to him before he says anything to Ronald. He's the real wild-card here… and I hate wild cards."

To be continued…

Again, I'm so, so sorry for taking this long to update the story. That's not normal for me.

Anyways, hope y'all like the twists and turns…
