"The Olivers' should be here any minute. Do we have everything for them?" Agent Thomas asked as he closed his cell phone and the man next to him nodded. This had been in the works for months and if they messed up, their lives would be at stake. People would come after them and some of them would do it because they wished to kill them.
"Their cover is solid, they've been given degrees and a job. They should have no problem transferring from this life to another," Agent Jones said as his partner nodded. "They'll be fine, they have a better security system than anyone else in the world."
"They aren't supposed to associate with that part of their life again," Agent Thomas stated as his partner just shook his head. They all knew that they would have to at some point.
"You know as well as I do that they'll have to do this eventually, it's just a matter of time before Earth is attacked again and they will have to do something rangery," Agent Jones said as Thomas barely nodded.
"I know, but between now and then they are to be left alone. When the time comes they'll return in silence and continue on," Thomas said as Jones nodded and they then looked through the windshield for the car.
"That's them," Jones said as he opened the door and then got out of the car.
"Okay, I'll go get them and bring them to their new vehicles. You know what to do with the car," Thomas said as he walked off towards the couple and Jones sat with their car.
"Yes, we've been over this a million times, just go before anyone notices," Jones said as Thomas just nodded and continued walking.
"Hello, wow," Agent Thomas said as Kim and Tommy walked over to meet him.
"Didn't know I was pregnant?" Kim asked as she noticed where the man had focused his attention.
"Yeah, that was left out of the brief, but that shouldn't be a problem. Come with me," Agent Thomas said as Tommy grabbed Kim's hand and gently squeezed it.
"Can you tell us where we're going?" Tommy asked as he gave Kim a concerned look. They had been driving all day and she was absolutely exhausted. They needed to get to wherever they were going quickly, so that she could sleep.
"No, you will get in your new vehicles and drive five miles out of town, to the Hotel 6. Open the envelope in your glove compartment and go from there," Agent Thomas said as Tommy nodded and Kim just shook her head. It was going to be a guessing game for the majority of the time they were moving.
"I'm going to need to sleep sometime today," Kim stated as Agent Thomas nodded.
"You'll get that soon enough, but I don't know when or where. I am only to take you to the cars, after that you're on your own," Agent Thomas stated as Tommy nodded and Kim just gave him a tired glance. This might just be too much.
"Great," Tommy murmured as Kim gave him a smile.
"Shed the wigs," Agent Jones said as they looked over at him and then pulled off their wigs. Kimberly now had blonde hair that was cut into a short bob. The people that had done their transformation had made sure that whatever they used on her wouldn't hurt the baby. Tommy's hair was as short as it had been when he was Fox and was an eerie, midnight black that almost looked blue in certain lights.
"So, from here on out we're new people?" Kim asked as Agent Jones nodded his head.
"Yes, although I don't know what your names will be or if your age will change. It's definitely going to be a huge change for the both of you," Agent Thomas said as they both nodded.
"Yeah, we had figured as much on our own. I'm going to have to practice not saying Tommy," Kim said as the agents nodded. They had known it would be hard for them, but they also knew that they two of them would survive it because they had no other choice.
"But we'll be safe this way, no one can find us, no one will be able to hurt you or our kids," Tommy said as he looked from the agents towards the cars and they nodded that he could go ahead.
"That makes me feel better," Kim said as Tommy guided her away to their cars and the agents smiled.
"It's all going to work out," Tommy said as he caught the hint of worry in her voice.
"I hope you're right," Kim said as he looked over at her.
"Here's your keys, that's your car and this one is yours, get on the road you came in on and drive east, you'll find the hotel," Agent Thomas said as the both of them nodded and took the keys from him.
"No envelope," Kim murmured as she walked over to Tommy's car and sat down in the passenger seat.
"I have a map, looks like the place we'll be staying for the night is about an hour away from here. Do you think you can make it?" Tommy asked as he watched her yawn and she barely nodded yes.
"Yeah, I should be able to, I'll just follow you out of here. We better not sit too long," Kim said as he nodded.
"Okay, it's not that far to go and you'll be fine, just keep the windows down if you have to," Tommy said as Kim nodded.
"I'll be glad when this is over," Kim said as he gave her a sympathetic smile.
"So will I, go on, the longer we sit here the more tired you'll get," Tommy said as she nodded.
"Okay," Kim murmured as she forced herself to stand and walked off to her vehicle. She just had to stay awake for an hour, that shouldn't be too difficult.
"This is a lot nicer than what we could afford," Kim said as Tommy barely nodded.
"I think our new life can, I've got the key, they said everything we need will be in our room," Tommy said as she nodded.
"I wonder what we're going to do," Kim stated as he started rummaging through the room and began finding various parcels and packages.
"I don't know, but we've got to open all of this before we go to bed," Tommy said as she nodded and then rubbed her eyes.
"Okay," Kim said as he watched her settle a hand over the baby's foot and he smiled.
"You go ahead and change, I'll start looking through this stuff and see if there's any more to find," Tommy said as Kim nodded and then slipped off to the bathroom to have some privacy.
"What do you think we'll be doing? I saw diplomas in the envelope from earlier," Kim said as she walked back in, in a nightgown and settled down on the bed next to him.
"That's what I'm worried about. How will we be able to perform a job without a true degree?" Tommy asked as she shrugged. She was sure that it had been thought out by someone, she just didn't know who that was.
"I would imagine it's in something that we are already skilled in," Kim said as he looked over at her.
"FBI badges," Tommy whispered as he pulled them out and she gave him a skeptical look.
"Are you serious?" Kim asked as she tried to peer over his shoulder and he turned away.
"No, I just want you to freak out about it. Yes, I'm serious Kimberly. I'm not sure where our final destination is, but how do you like the name Shelia Franks?" Tommy asked as she smiled. She could deal with that. It was in her top ten of what she wished to be named in this name change, but she'd deal.
"Shelia?" Kim asked as she scooted next to him and looked down at her new driver's license, birth certificate, and various other important documents. "What name did you get?"
"Joseph, but it says everyone call me Joe," Tommy said as Kim laughed. "It's not that bad."
"This is going to be difficult for me to remember. I kinda pictured Mitch or Johnny or Allen, but Joe will do. It'll have to, so what do you do for a living?" Kim asked as she leaned against him.
"We are lead investigators for the newly formed New York City 17th Criminal Investigative Division, Unit 5, at the ages of 24 and 25 respectively. We're transferring from Los Angeles and have received this promotion because of our investigative skills in the aftermath of the Angel Grove disaster," Tommy said as Kim just shook her head. At least they were telling some of the truth about them, which would help.
"You mean during," Kim said as he looked over at her.
"No, after. Remember, Kim and Tommy don't exist anymore, we died today. We've got to learn this information to be able to survive. We're probably some of the youngest lead investigators that these people have ever seen, we're going to have to act like we know what we're doing, otherwise they'll eat us alive," Tommy said as Kim grasped his hand.
"Tommy, we're technically not even out of high school yet," Kim said as he took her hand.
"Shelia, there is no Tommy, not unless we are Power Rangers again, that is when we can be the people that died," Tommy said as she nodded. "I know it's hard, but if we don't do it now it'll never happen."
"What else about our lives?" Kim asked as he placed his arm around her and she leaned over on his shoulder.
"We have an apartment in Chelsea, New York, actually it looks like we own it or at least the FBI does. We are preparing to start a family in the next few months, we married out of college after a whirlwind romance our senior year. You went into the FBI academy in 1994 and I followed the next year. We were assigned to Los Angeles and dealt with that area in depth. Our parents are dead and have been for several years. We will leave my car here and continue with only yours. We will get more information at our hotel tomorrow night. What's wrong?" Tommy asked as he looked over at her.
"I'm just tired. We better get some rest," Kim murmured as he grasped her hand and then gave her a quick hug.
"I'll be in a bed in a few minutes," Tommy murmured as she nodded and he walked into the bathroom. Just a few more days and they could have their lives back, even if it was with new names and a job they'd never actually perform.
"So this is home?" Kim murmured as she dropped the one bag Tommy let her carry in to the floor and he walked in behind her. The last several days had been hard. They had picked up suitcases and information as they came across the country. Now the full story of their lives up till now lay in front of them.
"Yeah, what do you think?" Tommy asked as he dropped the bags at the door and looked down at her. If she hated it then they were going to have to figure out something.
"It's nice for a place in New York," Kim said as Tommy smiled. That was the most he was going to get from her right now. "We've got to make this place home though."
"I know, thank goodness they let us keep our wedding album," Tommy said as she smiled. "But we can do that tomorrow you need some sleep."
"I'm fine," Kim said as he looked over at her and she smiled. "I am, I just need some supper."
"Okay," Tommy said as he walked into the kitchen and saw a file on the table. "We've got another one."
"Just bring it in here with supper!" Kim yelled as he sighed and went over to the fridge. The day before they had been told not to worry about furnishings or food, it would all be there for them.
"Here you go," Tommy said as he handed her a plate and she smiled. "You want to open it?"
"No, the last one I opened told us we were changing our names, again," Kim said as he smiled over at her. "I'm not a Dawn."
"I know, but it was bound to happen. They gave us one more degree of protection by 'killing' Shelia and Joe," Tommy said as she nodded.
"But you got Mitch, it's a good name for you," Kim said as he just shook his head.
"Mitch Johnson, it's wonderful," Tommy said as he absentmindedly opened the envelope.
"What's it say?" Kim asked as Tommy's mouth dropped open.
"They gave us the rest of the Power Rangers, they'll be joining us at work on Monday," Tommy said as he eyes widened and she gave him a hug. They were allowing them to continue their destiny, with the people that they had started it with.
