Disclamer: I don't own Kim Possible and any related characters to either her or Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles
The war was over. No truce. No peace accord. No surrender. When Alpha team blew up the transport bug that was carrying the queen, the bugs retreated, fell back from every planet they occupied. The ones that didn't were quickly taken care of by M.I. troopers. SICON left a fleet over Klendathu, mostly to give advanced warning if the bugs ever got any ideas. Delta Squad headed home for some much needed rest time on Earth.
Inside a transport, en route from the Grand Canyon to Earth
"Listen up, apes. With the destruction of the queen bug, the war is effectivly over. Now SICON has divided up all the troopers into three piles, pile one: Those to be released from duty, pile two: those given a month vacation and then to report for reassignment and finally, pile three: those being immediatly reassigned. Anyone wanna take a guess at which pile we fit in?" Kim spoke to her squad
"Let me see, your mother is a high ranking General. I'd say pile two, L.t." Ron answered
"Ron..." Kim shoots him a look
"Oh, sorry, L.t."
"In anycase, Sergeant Stoppable is correct. For the next month, you're all released from service. When time is up, you will report back to SICON HQ for reassignment. But look on the bright side, no more bugs to fight. Well, not whole hordes anyway" she looks around at the perked up faces of her troopers "As of the second you step off this transport, you are on vacation. So enjoy it" she smiles"
"LZ spotted, coming in for landing. Touchdown in one minute" the pilot says over the comm
As the transport carrying Delta squad down from the Grand Canyon touches down at the landing pad near SICON HQ on Honolulu, General Anne Possible steps out from under the cover to meet it.
"I tell ya, that last flight sim, I swear I must've crashed like a dozen times" Pvt. Mallak is going on
"Remind me not to let you drive anything" Pvt. Volcors puts in with a grin as the troopers walk down the ramp, not dressed in their powersuits or SICON issue black jumpsuit, but the light green dress uniforms.
"General" Kim salutes, her mother returns the salute
"At ease, Lieutenant" she smiles and looks down, Kim is standing on the blacktop, not the transport ramp
"Kimmie, I believe you are off duty"
"Oh, right. Hi mom"
"Better. So how did the trip go?"
"It, went" is all Kim can say, Anne laughs.
Kim decided to take the first few days of her vacation and spend them lying on a beach on the island of Honolulu
"Alright, so your hotel is booked and paid for" Anne says to her daughter "And the requested clothes and items are waiting in your room"
"Thanks mom. Hey maybe you can join me?" Anne thinks
"Sorry, Kimmie, not today. Way to much work to do, but maybe sometime in the next few days"
"Ok, see ya" she runs off.
Ron is at the airport, awaiting his transport back to Middleton when Kim grabs him
"L.t. I mean Kim. What's up"
"Not a lot, I got a hotel room here and I'm staying for a few days. I'm gonna lay on the beach and soak up some rays. Why don't you stay?"
"I dunno Kim. I promised my folks I'd come home as soon as I landed. But Bonnie's staying. Seeing as she and her parents aren't on speaking terms still"
"I'll chat with her. We can hang out when I get home, yes?"
"I don't see why not" he smiles
"Good. In the meantime..." This is when Kim does something that Ron never, ever, ever would have expected her to do - she kisses him. She presses her lips to his and closes her eyes, letting their bodies merge at the top.
It takes him a couple minutes to realize what she is doing and by then, she has broken the kiss
"Kim...what, what was that?"
"When I get home, we have to talk"
"Why did you do that? I mean isn't it inappropriate? You are my superior"
"Ron, you dolt, we're on vacation. SICON doesn't care what we do on our free time" she looks into his eyes and then over his shoulder "Your transport is boarding. Better get going. I'll see you when I get home" she runs off, blowing him a kiss as she runs. Ron feels like he'd going to faint, but he luckily manages to hold on to conciousness.
Kim smiles as she sees his transport take off and then jumps into her rental car and, after a call to her mother to find out where Bonnie is staying, heads to meet her.
"So, where's the rest of the squad?" Bonnie asks as she and Kim are walking towards the beach
"Ron, Max and Adrianne have gone home to where ever they live. Lucas is staying on the island to work..."
"Work? He's on vacation?"
"He asked me to call it a hobby"
"What?"
"Helping to tune up Skimmers and vehicles for command"
"Ah ok. What about Pauline?"
"She's gone on a hiking trip in the Himalayas"
"And you are staying here?"
"For a few days of sun, surf and sand"
"Then?"
"Home. You should come with, see the old crowd"
"I dunno Kim. I'm still not talking to the family"
"So? You can stay at my place. I'm sure my mom won't mind"
"I'll think about it"
"Do that"
"Is that an order?" Bonnie grins
"No"
Both girls spend the next two days laying on the beach and shopping for the most part and as Kim heads back to Middleton on the third, Bonnie agrees to come with, mostly because she actually is enjoying spending time with her former highschool rival.
"KIM!" Ron calls out as the transport touches down on the pad at Middleton airport
"Hey Ron" she embraces her best friend, he looks confused "We'll talk later" she says
"Hey, Bonnie"
"Ron"
Ron picks up both girls' bags and they walk off, heading for his car
"So how was the beach?" he asks after getting in and starting the engine
"So relaxing" Kim says "It really was a shame that you couldn't be there. We had a small party with some of the troopers that had gotten off duty, on the beach yesterday"
"It was really fun" Bonnie added
"How about you, what have you been up to?"
"Hanging with the family. They were really suprised to see me"
"Why is that?" Kim asks
"Must've forgotten to tell them I was coming home" he grins
"Sure" Bonnie says with a smile
"So you two are okay?" Ron asks after he drops the two girls off
"Yeah. Come over later okay? We can watch a movie or something. Bonnie's gonna go out with some old friends"
"Sounds good, Lieutenant" Ron smiles and drives off. During the whole drive home, Bonnie has been watching Kim, sensing that something is up
"You did it, didn't you?" she asks after dropping her stuff off in the guest room
"Did what?" Kim responds
"You kissed him, didn't you?"
"What?"
"I can tell. I'm not stupid, K" Kim blushes "Oh you did"
"In the airport back on Honolulu, just before he left"
"Ok, Kim. I'm gonna head off now. I'll be back later tonight"
"Alright Bonnie. If the house is dark..."
"I have the spare key you gave me"
"Good. Have fun"
"As long as I don't run into my parents or bugs, I don't see how I couldn't" Bonnie smiles and walks out, Kim leaves shortly after
"KIM!?"
"Hey Monique"
"Come in, come in" the African American girl moves to the side
"I didn't know you were back. I mean, I knew the war was over, but I never knew that you'd be off"
"I'm only on vacation"
"I could've sworn that your mother would keep you on active service, she being a general and all"
"No, she was kind enough make my squad one of the lucky ones that didn't get discharged or immediatly reassigned"
"So, how long?"
"A month. It's great to be home. you have no idea how uncomfortable those M.I. bunks and clothes get"
"I can imagine"
"Not really. But all this is what we were fighting for, fighting to save. And it's worth every sacrifice we had to make"
"Sure. Hey have a seat, TME"
"Actually, can we go out? I've been meaning to get some decent food since I got back"
"What, haven't eaten since landing?"
"Not here. But Bonnie and I decided to wait till we got home to actually get proper food. M.I. rations are so simple and really boring as well as repetitive" Monique laughed and grabbed her coat
"Sure. You and Bonnie?"
"Friends? You bet"
"So that's the story of the heroic Lieutenant Kim Possible" Kim said with a hint of saracasm in her voice. She and Monqiue had just finished eating dinner at a restuarant in town and Kim had retold the story of the war from her perspective. As Monique had expected, Kim gorged herself on the food
"Wow. Who would have imagined you and Bonnie becoming friends?"
"Yeah, but she needed a friend and I was happy to help" Kim looked up at the clock I'd better get home" she stood up
"Why?"
"Got an in home date with Ron"
"You and Ron, huh?"
"Not yet. But when he was in that tank, I felt so lost"
"And then you made out with him in the airport"
"Could have picked a worse place" Kim replied
"How?"
"Could have been while we were on the ship, still on duty"
"Ok, that's true"
"Hey, Ron" Kim smiled as she walked up to her house
"Hey, Kim. Where you been?"
"I had dinner with Monique. Told her my tale of the war. I haven't kept you waiting long, have I?"
"No, I've been here about ten minutes"
"Good" Kim said as she unlocked the front door
"No one else is home" she said as they walked in, she turned to him. Why don't you go and pick a movie while I get changed?" he nodded as she walked up the stairs, putting a little sway in her step that did not go unnoticed by Ron.
Kim comes down a few minutes later and Ron is already putting on the movie disc
"I tell ya, it is nice to be out of those jumpsuits. SICON command needs to learn to make better suits"
"Form or function, KP? Can't be both" Ron smiles as he catches a glimpse of her, she is wearing an outfit he hasn't seen since school - a baby blue crop top and jeans. Ron flinches as she jumps on the couch and nestles up to him
"So? Start the movie already"
"Oh, sorry Kim" he presses the play button
About halfway through the movie, Kim decides that she's waited long enough and looks over at him
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asks
"Remember when you were in the tank and I told you we would talk later?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"We can talk now"
"About what?"
"Ron, when you were in that tank, I feared the worst"
"Who wouldn't? We've been friends since forever, Kim"
"Not what I mean. When we had those three days aboard the Grand Canyon, I did some thinking"
"Uh oh" he grinned, Kim shot him a look "Sorry"
"About us, how we've been friends since forever and I came to a realization"
"What do you me...?" she leans in and plants a kiss on his lips. It shocks Ron at first and he tries to pull away, but Kim isn't about to give up and he quickly gives into her. He lets his hand fall to the side as he give in to her.
A couple moments later, she pulls back, but not far, and looks at him
"I..uh...I..." he stutters
"I said I came to a realization. Know what I mean?" Ron has aboslutly no idea, his brain still hasn't rebooted "I love you" she says with a gleam in her eyes and leans back on the couch.
"How long have you...?"
"I thought the reason for me not being myself when you were in the tank was because I blamed myself for what happened..."
"Kim, that wasn't your fault"
"I know. I realized the reason I was feeling so bad when you were in recovery was that I... I'm in love with you" she admits, Ron is taken aback "You've always been my friend and..." he puts his hand up to stop her
"Bonnie and I figured as much"
"What?"
"Face it Kim, you didn't hide it very well"
"I guess. So do you...?"
"Kim..." Ron thinks for a minute "I'd be crazy if I didn't want to be with you? Let me put it that way" Kim smiles and nestles up to him. She can't see his face from where she is, but she can tell that he has a huge grin on his face.
The rest of the evening is uneventful. Both troopers, tired from their long tour of duty are asleep on the couch when Bonnie walks in. She sees them and smiles, trying to be quiet.
Bonnie heads into the kitchen to get a late night snack and reaches up to get a glass out of the cupboard
"CRAP!" she's dropped a glass on the floor, it shatters and she can hear someone getting up so she peaks around the corner, it's Ron. "Hey" she says quietly
"Hi, Bonnie"
"How's our C.O.?"
"Tired"
"You don't looks so good yourself" she points out, hoping she didn't sound offensive
"I know"
"So did she...?"
"Admit that she's in love with me? Yeah, she did" he smiles
"I'll say this, you two make a cute couple"
"Even though it's totally against regs"
"Besides that. But I'm sure you two can keep a secret"
"Hope so" he looks around "I'm gonna take her upstairs. Good night"
"Okay, night"
Friday...
Kim wakes up the next morning in her own bed and some warm cloth against her skin. She moves and pulls back the covers. To her relief, she is still wearing the clothes she was last night, but there is a lump in the bed beside her and she can't remember how she got here. Kim looks up at her clock, 8:30AM. She moves her arm to get a better look and bumps into the lump beside her
"Mmmmm, another hour please" Ron groans beside her, Kim's eyes widen Oh my god. Did we...?
"Ron, Ron, RON!" she tries to get his attention, unsucessfully at first "RON!"
"Huh? What? I'm up, I'm up!" he bolts up, only to be met by Kim's soft hand
"It's okay, it's just me"
"Oh, hey Kim. I was dreaming I was fighting bug again" Kim smiles, then frowns
"Ron, did we... you know, last night?" it takes Ron a minute to realize what she means
"No, we didn't" he smiles
"Then why are you...in my bed? With me?"
"Well we fell asleep, then when I woke up later, I carried you up and was too tired and it was too late to go home. I figured you wouldn't mind"
"So we didn't...?"
"No, we didn't. I promise"
"Good"
"Yeah. So you gonna let me up so I can cook you breakfast?" Kim moves her body to the side, a smile on her face
"You go cook breakfast while I change"
"Sounds good to me" he smiles and walks out of the room.
"So, Ron" Kim starts as the two are eating breakfast "How do you feel about..."
"You being in love with me?" Kim nods, Ron lets out a sigh "Well, it's complicated, we're both troopers and you are my C.O. and us being together is totally against regulations and I don't wanna know what they'll do if we get caught..." Kim looks away, he just gave her the exact answer she feared, but he isn't finished "...That said, some rules were meant to be broken and some prizes..." he puts his hand under her chin and moves her head so she is looking at him when he smiles "...Are worth the risk of being caught" he leans in and plants a kiss on her lips. Kim is suprised by Ron's assertiveness, usually he's docile outside of combat, not like this at all, but she quickly gives in and opens up to him.
Ron breaks the embrace a moment later and looks deeply into Kim's emerald-coloured eyes.
"You're right" she says after a moment "...Somethings are worth the risk"
The rest of breakfast the two don't, or atleast try not to, break eye contact. Staring at each other as if they were psychics (Intel testing had said that they weren't when they had enlisted) as if trying to communcate with each other without speaking.
"So what shall we do today?" Ron asks finally.
The two hit the mall first. Kim extended her hold on Ron's arm to it's limit before she got his full attention
"I want to get some new clothes" she said, jesturing over at Club Bannana
"So go" he shruged
"Nuh uh. I want your advice on some..." Kim never finished before she heard her name being called. At first she thought it was Ron, but then realized that she was actually looking at him and someone else was calling her...
"KIM!" Kim turned around and found herself looking upon a familer set of blonde hair and blue eyes
"TARA?"
"Hi Kim, Ron"
"Hi Tara" Ron smiled
"What's up?" Kim asked, her grip on Ron's arm now gone
"Not a lot" Tara answered "I managed to swing a vacation from work"
"Where?"
"Intel" she answered
"Wait, you enlisted?" Kim was dumbfounded
"Yep. I was going for fleet..."
"So was I" Kim put in
"...But I got assigned to intel"
"I got Infantry" Kim sighs "Wait, why did you get assigned to Intel?" Kim was a little confused, then she heard a voice in her head I got assigned to Intel because I can do this. It was...Tara's voice in her head. Kim looked over at her friend "You're..."
"A psychic? Yeah. I had no idea. It's pretty cool"
"I guess so" Tara leaned over "So, tell me all about the war from the ground. I never really heard much at my desk"
"Can't you just read my mind?" Kim asked, Tara laughed
"I could. But it's not a much fun as hearing you say it"
"Why don't we go grab some lunch and chat?" Kim suggested
"Sounds good" Kim walked over to Ron
"Wanna come with?"
"Nah. I'm gonna go home and get some fresh clothes and frankly" he looked over at Tara "Psychics freak me out majorly. No offense" Tara just smiled
"None taken. I get that a lot. Even my parents are a little freaked out by what I can do and sometimes so am I"
"Okay. I'll call you when I get home" Kim smiled and kissed his cheek "And you can come over later"
"Sounds good" Ron walked off
"So, you enlisted and hoped to get fleet..." Tara made sure Kim's story started from the beginning
"I hoped to get fleet, but got assigned to M.I. instead. I almost died when I found out who our boot camp intsructer was"
"Who?"
"Barkin" Kim chuckled
"Ouch, you poor girl"
"Yeah. But I lived"
Later that evening Kim was sitting in her house, leaning up against Ron and watching a movie, hoping she could stay awake for the whole of it this time
"So how did it go with Tara?" Ron asked finally
"Good. I thought her being a psychic would creep me out, but it really didn't"
"Speak for yourself" Kim chuckled and yawned "You tired?"
"I guess so. I guess all those days without sleep during the war are finally catching up to me"
"Why don't I turn off the movie and you go to bed. I'll head home" Ron suggested
"I have a better idea. Why don't you turn off the movie and grab a blanket. I'm to tired to get up and frankly, I'm comfy right here" Kim smiled, Ron returned the smile and got up.
A couple hours later and Kim and Ron were snuggled up and sleeping on the couch, Bonnie was in the guest room still. She had spent, at Kim's suggestion, trying to get in touch with her parents to no end and was crying herself to sleep. Kim and Ron were sleeping soundly, both had a smile on their faces and if they could have seen it, they would have fallen over laughing.
At about 10:30, a car pulled into the driveway at the Possible residence. Out stepped General Anne Possible, coming home for the weekend. Anne had refused to move from Middleton when she became a General and had gone with a different approach. She had bought a small apartment on Honolulu and stayed there from Monday to Friday to work at SICON hq. On Friday evening, she came home and any work that needed to be done could be done from her home office. She took a flight back to Honolulu every Monday morning.
Yawning, she opened the door and walked inside her house. She didn't notice Kim and Ron on the couch as she walked inside, at first. As she walked back to the door a few minutes later to hang up her coat, she glanced inside and spotted the two sleeping, against each other on the couch. She, at first, smiled. As Kim's mother, she was happy to see her daughter smiling a goofy smile as she slept, she then figured that Kim and Ron had to be doing something. In a normal case, General Possible would have taken over, but she was too tired and decided to talk to Kim in the morning.
"Good morning Kim" Anne smiled, shaking her daughter
"M...mom?"
"Yes. Time to get up. We need to talk" Kim glanced over at the clock on the wall, just after 8AM. Kim moved the blanket off and got up, stretched and then placed the covers back over Ron and walked out.
Anne was sitting in the kitchen
"So, enjoying being home?" she asked as Kim wandered in
"Oh yeah. All the sacrifices we made as troopers, the bunks, the clothes, all worth it" she smiled and reached for the cereal
"So what is going on between you and Ron?" Anne asked, getting straight to the point
"Whose asking, my mother or my C.O.?"
"Both"
"Then nothing. We're friends"
"Kim, don't lie to me"
"I'm not, we're..." Kim could tell by the look on her mother's face that she wasn't buying it "Fine" Kim sat down, figuring that if any SICON officer was going to find out, best it be her mother "When Ron was in the tank on Klendathu, I wasn't myself and I came to realize why"
"You love him?" Anne asked
"Yes. We've been such good friends for so long, I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner"
"Do you know what you are doing?"
"What does that mean?"
"Dating one of you troopers, that can have serious ramifications at command. You could be discharged from service and more"
"More?"
"I think the penalty for associating this way with a superior officer is ten lashes in public square, for both of you and that's on top of a dishonorable discharge"
"We can keep it quiet" Kim protested "Besides, we made love the other night"
"YOU WHAT?"
"I'm kidding. I just wanted to see your face when I said that" Kim smirked
"Kim..."
"Mom, I was kidding. I had all my clothes on when I went to bed and they were on the same way when I woke up"
"I hope..."
"We can keep it quiet. As much as I love him and he loves me, we won't risk our careers over it"
"You already are"
"...More than we already are"
"I hope you can. If you get found out, I can't and won't protect you" You say that now Kim thought
"I understand"
The next couple days went smoothly and by the time General Possible left for SICON Hq on Monday morning, it was official, as official as it could be without being on paper - Kim and Ron were an item.
A couple days later, Kim was inside, reading her book, one she had started before she had enlisted, but never got to finish, when she heard the doorbell ring
"Who could that be?" she asked herself as if her mind knew the answer
"Hi Princess" Kim heard as she opened the door, her jaw dropped
"SHEGO?"
"What no hello? No come on in?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard you were back in town and decided to drop by and say hello"
"But you're a criminal!" Kim protested
"Not anymore. If you invite me in, I can tell you more" Kim moved to the side and allowed the green woman passage
"So, why are you here?"
"What, I can't stop by to say hello?"
"Uh, I don't think criminals are welcome here" Kim sneered
"As I said, I'm not a criminal. Due to some really bad timing, I was busted stealing by some SICON troopers using tranks. Those things hurt"
"And what, they realeased you?"
"Not exaclty right away" Kim looked confused "I was sitting in my prison cell when I was visited by a General who said he wanted to give me a chance to redeem myself"
"And naturally you accepted?"
"Actually, at first I told her to go play with herself, though in a much more crude fashion"
"You? Crude? No, really?"
"But I listened to what she had to say and I just couldn't refuse"
"What? Refuse what?"
"I'm SICON now"
"You enlisted?"
"Somewhat"
"Somewhat?"
"I can't tell you everything because it is highly classified, but I can tell you now that I'm a trooper"
"As if you would take orders and be a foot solider"
"You're partly right"
"I am?"
"If she had offered to make me a plain and simple foot soilder, I would have passed it up"
"But you didn't"
"No. I was offered a spot in SpecOps"
"You are SpecOps? Only the best 2 of all troopers get offered a spot in SpecOps"
"Actually it's more like 1 of troopers. Yeah, I have a job where I have free roam to do whatever I feel needs to be done to complete a mission. I have my own squad now" Shego smiles
"I thought all this was classified?"
"It is, but what I just told you, is all the declassified stuff. If I were to tell you my rank, squad name, commander, etc that would be revealing classified information"
"So fine line, huh?"
"Very fine" Shego looks across the kitchen table the two women are sitting at "Enough about me, I've heard that you've gotten your own squad"
"Yep. Lead my team across Klendathu"
"I've also heard, but I don't believe it. You're dating your squad's Top-kick" Kim spewed her drink across the table "Oh my. Now whose the law breaker, Kimmie?"
"How did you...?"
"Your mother and I have become friends. We chat often and she just couldn't hold this back"
"I am gonna kill her" Kim muttered.
"That is it. I give up" Bonnie grumbles as she walks into the living room the next day where Kim is sitting, watching the latest FedNet news
"What?"
"My parents. They don't want anything to do with me" Bonnie slumps down on the couch
"You sure?"
''Positive. I've tried everything to talk to them. Phone calls, email, even going through my sisters. Nothing works, the moment they get a hint that it's me, they turn away"
"Why don't I try to talk to them?
"Huh, good luck. Mention my name and they will be gone"
"We shall see" Kim got up and walked over to the phone...
"Hello?"
"Hello. Is this the Rockwaller household?"
"Yes, it is. Who may I ask is calling?"
"Lieutenant Kimberly Possible"
"Okay"
"I wish to talk to you on a subject"
"It's Bonnie isn't it?"
"Well, yes. She has made many attempts to contact you, but..."
"She went against our wishes and joined the millitary. Our family has never had anyone in millitary service, ever. It's a family tradition and she broke it. As far as we are concerned, she isn't our daughter anymore. Good day, Lieutenant" she hangs up
"Wow"
"I told you"
"I'm so sorry, Bonnie"
"Me too" Kim is about to console her friend when the phone rings
"Hello?"
"Kim, it's your mother"
"Hi mom. What up?"
"This isn't a social call. Get Bonnie and Ron and get to Hq. NOW!"
"Why?"
"I'll tell you when you get here. The rest of your squad is on the way. This is an order, Lieutenant"
"Sir, yes sir" Kim hung up
"Pack up. We're heading to HQ"
"Why?" Bonnie asked
"No idea. But that was my mother, she wants us at SICON HQ asap"
"Alright" Bonnie ran off towards the guest room while Kim dials up the phone
"Hello?"
"Ron, it's Kim"
"Hey KP. What's up?"
"Not a social call. Pack up. We're heading to HQ"
"Why?"
"No idea. Just do it. Bonnie and I will be over in ten to pick you up"
"I'm on it" Kim hung up
The three arrived at the airport about twenty minutes later, in their dress uniforms.
"KIM!"
"Hey Tara. You know what's going on?" Kim really hoped that the psychic knew
"Sorry. My powers are range limited, so I have no idea"
"Oh. I assume you were called back to HQ?"
"Yeah. You?" Kim nodded
"My mother called, she sounded concerned"
The comm in the airport buzzed
"Transport 765 for Honolulu now boarding" Kim, Bonnie, Ron and Tara all moved and a few moments later, were sitting on the transport with a few other soliders. Some wearing fleet uniforms, some M.I. and some, like Tara, were wearing the black uniforms that signified Intel operatives, but no one was wearing civilian clothes.
The transport touched down at one of the pads near SICON command center. As they disembarked, Kim spotted several other transports touching down.
"Lieutenant" General Anne Possible greeted them, the four soldiers saluted, Anne turned to Tara
"They're waiting for you in the command center, Colonel" Tara nodded and ran off
"Mom what's this all about?" Kim asked
"The rest of your squad is inside the strategy room"
"MOM!" Anne stopped and looked at her daughter, Kim could clearly see the fear in her mother's eyes and it terrified her
"We have, a situation" is all she said and walked off. Kim, Ron and Bonnie all followed.
