"There is no single meaning of life. There is one for every individual.
The question is: what's yours?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kim just stared at Ron. "You don't think she means the evil mutated Gill, do you? I mean there has got to be tons of people out there with that name, right?"
"I believe we all know who she means." Said a joyful doctor chained to the floor.
Ron lunged at the man straddling him and grabbing his collar bringing him to eye level. "What did you do? How does he fit into all this?" Ron screamed at Rupert
"Are you really that simple minded that you haven't figured it out?" Dr Jordan spoke with a smile.
"What are you smiling at? Don't forget at the end of this you're going to jail and I'm sure the government would like to have a word with you." Ron said anger growing in his eyes.
"I am smiling because you are so dimwitted, and yet you are the better specimen."
"What are you talking about?"
Kim spoke up after taking care of the bodies. "Ron...the lake, he must've been behind the whole thing."
"Bingo!"
"Huh? You mean it was him? It was your fault that Gil mutated into…Gill? YOU'RE THE REASON I HAD THE WORST SUMMER OF MY LIFE!" Ron got up and walked away looking at the letter that was handed to him, a tear slowly creeping down his cheek.
"That's right. I made it look like a run off from science camp, but it was all me." As he talked Ron walked over to Jena's body and searched it for something he desired so much. After finding it he stood up tears still streaming down and his hand clenched. "Do it, you know you want to. I won't hold it against you if you do."
Kim and the others just stared at Ron wondering what he was talking about.
"Why shouldn't I? You deserve it after everything you did, after everyone you hurt. Why shouldn't I kill you?" Ron held up a little remote control and just looked at it thinking what to do.
Tara ran to his side. "Ron don't do this. It's not like you. He's not worth it."
"But he nearly killed you guys and me. Why shouldn't I?"
"Yes he did nearly kill us, but that is no reason for you to become a killer." Tears started to form as she watched Ron struggle to decide.
"I'm sorry..." (Beep) Instantaneously Kim tackled him to the ground
"Ron don't" Kim shouted as she wrestle him.
"Miss Possible it's alright." Mr. Barkin, the real Mr. Barkin, said as he held the prisoner by the neck hugging him to make sure he didn't try anything. Kim stared at them then back to Ron who was looking away to the side disappointment across his face. Kim swiftly got up followed by Ron.
"Hate to be rude and all, but can we please get out of here. All these dead bodies are giving me the creeps and it's starting to smell in here" Spoke Bonnie from the head of the crowd
Ron pulled the Key out of his pocket "Come on, let's go. I'll call the cops and tell them what happened."
Tara came up and kissed him on the side of his cheek. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For not becoming a monster." She ran off to join the others
Ron sighed with relief "No prob."
"Come on lover boy, let's get outta here."

Ron had given his report to the police and sat alone on a bench staring at the letter wondering how he was going to do this. Kim walked over and sat beside him. "I'll have Wade look around for Gill."
"Good idea KP. I just never thought the curse of Camp Wannaweep would travel this far and become so intense. At least something good came out of this." Ron said with a smile
"Oh, and what would that be?" Kim said half expecting the answer
"I got Tara to go on a date with me this Friday." They both laughed and sat quietly awaiting the time to leave.

Three weeks later
Kim and Ron were enjoying their weekend at the mall when a familiar beeping came from Kim's cargo pocket. "Go Wade."
"Hey Kim. Monique wants to see you down at Club Banana. She says it's real important."
"Thanks Wade. Hey have you gotten any leads on Gill yet?" She said with a sign of concern on her voice
'Sorry Kim nothing yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I've got something."
"Please and thank you." With that she signed off "You coming Ron?"
"Na, I saw something that caught my eye back there."
"Okay, I'll come get you when I'm done. Seeyah"
"Later KP" Ron walked through the mall searching for what he saw earlier. It didn't take long.
"Hand it over squeeb." A dark haired teen commanded
"Hey give that back" a little boy cried
"Not until you apologies for taking it first."
"But…fine. I'm sorry I stole it. Now can I have it back?" the young boy pleaded
"Hold on, I have to pay for it first." The teen handed the cashier the money for the toy. "There now you can have it. Now don't let me see you do that again Lance, do I make myself clear."
"Yeeesssss" the boy said solemnly then grabbed the toy. "You're the best big bro ever Gil."
"Flattery will get you nowhere. Now go find mom so we can get outta here." Gil shooed the boy away
Ron came up behind him "Excuse me but I think you dropped this." Ron handed out the letter he'd been carrying around for three weeks.
Gil turned to face Ron "Huh, oh thanks," Gil held the letter "Uh, this isn't mine." He tried to hand it back to Ron
Ron just pushed it away "Trust me it's yours."
"But, uh"
"Just take it" Ron nearly screamed
"Alright, sheesh" Gil took the letter and pocketed it
Ron walked away in a hurry and was met by Kim not to far away.
"Was that who I think it was?" Kim said gesturing to the young man
"Yeah"
"Why didn't you tall me you saw him?"
"I wanted to do it alone, out of respect. I just hope he reads the letter."
"I'm sure he will" Kim said in all confidence.
And they went on to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Later that night
Gil sat on his bed and began to get ready to take a shower when he felt something in his pocket.
"It's the letter that crazy kid gave me." He doesn't know what but something compelled him to read the letter.
To my dearest little brother Gil,
I don't even know if you remember me. It's been nearly a decade since you disappeared from Camp Wannaweep. I am saddened to say that if you are reading this then I did not accomplish my goal of finding you, but someone has so all is not lost. I wish to say that we all miss you so terribly much and that we hope that you have found a great place to grow and become the man I know you can be. We pray that you did not forget us but we believe that to be untrue. Our strongest prayers go out to you and hope to find you some day.
Your big sister forever
