A/N: I know this makes three in two days on this one and two on Shattered. What can I say? I'm inspired.

Mariner Bay March 20, 2004

Tommy hadn't called Kim in three days.

Sitting in her apartment late that night, she took several deep breaths and focused her thoughts on Tommy, hoping that the telepathic connection she had felt with him the day Mason came after her wasn't just a fluke.

'Tommy? Tommy, are you there?'

'What's wrong, beautiful?'

'You haven't called me.'

'Sorry, Kim. I kind of have a problem. I can't dial a phone right now.'

'Why not?'

'I'm kind of stuck. Stuck in a block of amber.'

'How did that happen?'

'That evil White Ranger I was telling you about?'

'Yeah? Oh no, you figured out who he was and he did this to you.'

'Got it in one. It's that new kid Trent Fernandez. I was talking to Hayley on the communicator when he zapped me into the block of amber.'

'Did you get a chance to tell Hayley who it was?'

'No. He got me just before I could spit it out. Hayley's been trying to figure out a way to get me out of here. I was hoping she would have figured it out by now.'

'Why didn't she call me?'

'I kind of forgot to tell her to call you if something happened to me.' He sounded kind of sheepish.

'How did I know that was going to happen? I'm on my way down there.'

'Beautiful, don't. There's nothing you can do for me here.'

'I can be there for you and talk to you.' Tears were flowing freely down her face now.

'Kim, don't cry, honey. I'll be fine. Hayley will figure this out. You know that she's as smart as Billy if not more so. After all, she built the Command Center.'

'I'll feel better if I'm there with you. I'll be there in the morning.'

'Just be careful, Kim. I don't want anything happening to you.'

'I'll be careful. You need to start being more careful. I can't keep this up forever.'

'I try, beautiful, but trouble always seems to find me. You know that better than anyone else.'

'Actually when we were in high school, it tended to find me more than you.' She was almost giggling through her tears.

'True but I always had so much fun rescuing my damsel in distress.' He was chuckling now too.

'I have to go now so that I can get ready to leave. I'll leave a note for Kristy. She'll understand.'

'Hopefully, by the time you get here, Hayley will have me out of here and I can reassure you personally.'

'You just keep thinking that way. If she hasn't though, I'll just stick around until she does get you out of there.'

Kim severed their link and got up to pack a small bag for the trip down there.

Reefside Early Morning March 21, 2004

Kim pulled into the driveway to see Hayley's car there. She let herself into the house and went down into the basement.

Hayley was asleep with her head on the console. Kim walked over to the red-head. "Hayley? Hayley."

Hayley's head snapped up, almost catching Kim in the face. "Who- what- Kim?"

Kim giggled. "It's just me, Hayley. Why don't you go upstairs and stretch out on the couch? I'll sit down here with him for a bit."

"How did you know?"

"Tommy and I have a special bond and the Dino Gem just strengthened it. He told me what happened."

"How?"

"Telepathically. He even told me who the White Ranger was." At Hayley's look, she told her. "Trent Fernandez."

"Oh no. Kira's going to be heartbroken. She has such a crush on Trent."

"Trust me. Everything will work out fine." She gave Hayley a small push toward the stairs. "Go on upstairs. Get some sleep and later we'll figure out how to get Tommy out of there."

Hayley nodded and trudged up the stairs to stretch out on Tommy's couch. She was asleep almost before her head hit the cushion.
