Zmonsta: Thankyou for your concern. I appreciate your kind words. Yes exactly. Who knows what Kim would've done if they didn't arrive. Thank you. I always thought Kimberly had a depth in the show that wasn't shown. Hahaha same. That's scene and that eye contact was something else. Was it Amy and Austin or were they told to be like that. They were supposed to be an item but it got cut out in turbo. Oh I haven't forgotten that scene. Don't worry ha-ha. Thank you Zmonsta. I always look forward to your amazing feedback.
Biryani- Thankyou. Oh really. Cooking is amazing. My pleasure your story has a lot of potential. Yeah I love nurse Moran. Unfortunately yes. I gently hinted at Kim's eating issues previously but I thought I'd show it now. Aww Thankyou I think that's my strong point. The Jason/Kim dynamic. I'll work on my weaknesses. Thank you. I really loved the original rangers and wanted to do them Justice. Hopefully Billy shows up. Let's wait and see. Thankyou for the feedback and the kind words.
And Thank you to all of my readers.
Here we are guys.
CHAPTER 21
"Jason. Oh my god Jason. Can you hear me baby? She said as she squeezed Jason's hand.
Jason's hand began to twitch slightly. He didn't move or open his eyes. Kimberly pressed the nurse button.
The door flew open and two nurses, one brunette in her 50s and a younger ginger haired nurse came barging into the room and checked Jason's vitals. By reading his heart rate and eventually seeing his hand move in Kimberly's, they saw that he was awake
"Mr Scott. Welcome back Do not attempt to speak. You have tubes in your nose and throat. I will get them out. Everything's fine. Your doing great. Just a little more patience Mr Scott" said the nurse with mouse brown hair, hurrying around Jason making the necessary changes.
Jason's eyelids Began to flutter like the wings of a butterfly. Kimberly moved closer to him so that she was at the side of the bed, leaning close to Jason but not too close. Gripping his hand tighter.
Jason's eyes began to open, getting adjusted to the light.
"Gloria, Go get Dr Howard please" she added as the younger red haired nurse let the room
"And please Mr Scott. Keep still whilst I remove the tubes" said the older and more experienced nurse.
Jason opened his eyes and looked at the nurse without moving his head. He understood what she had told him. His eyes then turned to his left and found Kimberly's. They seemed to dance in his eye socket when he saw her.
"Hey you. I'm here with you baby. I'm not going anywhere" said Kimberly with a warm smile as they locked eyes whilst the nurse removed the tubes in Jason's throat, making him gag.
Kimberly's heart bled for Jason. It killed her watching her strong boyfriend and life long friend go through such an ordeal
There was a knock on the door and someone entered
"Daaamn girl, Florida is –". Nobody found out what Florida was as Zack paused when he walked in on the nurse removing the tube in Jason's nose
"Please leave" said the nurse curtly
Zack looked apologetically at Kimberly and left the room along with his wife.
The nurse removed the tube from Jason's nose as the door opened.
"I have already told you to leave sir" said the nurse
"But Gloria just told me you wanted me " replied Dr Howard as he stepped inside the room.
The nurse looked rather embarrassed
Kimberly couldn't help but giggle, drawing a smile from Dr Howard
"Have You checked the vitals Gail?" Dr Howard asked the nurse as he took out a little flashlight out of his breast pocket and flashed it in Jason's eyes. Jason blinked like anyone would in that situation.
"Yes. They are all normal" replied the nurse called Gail.
"Excellent. How are you feeling Mr Scott?" asked Dr Howard.
"Like I've had one long sleep" Said Jason in a quiet hoarse voice as he turned and looked at Kimberly intensely
"Hey baby. Your voice sounds amazing. I've missed you " She said looking back at him with the same intensity
"I missed you too" Jason replied. "Kim, it was Carl"
"What" Kimberly's eyes widened with shock as she spoke.
"One of the guys who attacked me, a fat blonde pig looking guy, said Carl sends his regards after he stabbed me" Said Jason in his scratchy hoarse voice
"The police are going to want a word with you Mr Scott. I'm going to call them. Is that okay, are you up for that?" the doctor asked Jason.
"Yes. How long was I out for. I remember fighting them and felt a pain in shoulder and everything went black" said Jason looking at his girlfriend
"Well Jase. You had been in a coma. Today is the third day" replied Kimberly. Shifting uncomfortably in her chair by the bed.
Jason sat up in his bed. A look of confusion written all over his face as he heard the bombshell. "What. I was out for 3 days"
"Yes Mr Scott. But you seem to have made a good recovery. Our work is done for now. We'll leave you two alone" Said Dr Howard as he motioned for nurse Gail to follow him.
"Yes baby. You were out. I was so worried. I've been by your side throughout the whole thing. Zack and Trini just got here a few hours ago. Can you remember anything? Said Kimberly. Holding Jason's hand.
"Well let's say its like I had a long ass dream. Carl was in my dream mostly and you Kimmy. I dreamt I was losing you "Said Jason looking into her eyes
"You're never going to lose me Jase" said kimberly squeezing his hand "Carl. You think Carl ordered the hit on you?" she asked him
"I dunno. There were 5 men that attacked me. They knew my name and the fat one definitely mentioned Carl" replied Jason. Looking at Kimberly.
"I don't know Jase. Carl never had any dangerous friends. He was never involved in gangs. He was a drunk and smoked pot but that's it. This just feels weird Rex" Kim Explained
"But that guy said his name. He had to have something to do with this" said Jason intently
The door flew open, Trini and Zack came bustling inside and ran towards Jason.
"Jason your awake" shouted Trini. Going to his beside and planting a kiss on his forehead.
"Ewwww don't. I've been asleep for 3 days aha. I probably reek" Jason replied smiling at his two old friends.
"Nah Jase I wiped you down with a wet towel everyday" said Kimberly as Zack walked towards his best friend.
"Hey Bro. I'm glad your back. We missed you man" said Zack as he clasped hands with Jason like they have always done.
"Thankyou Zack. Where are we. Florida or Cali?" Asked Jason
"We're in Florida. We got here today Man." Said Zack.
"I'm sorry you guys came out here man" replied Jason. An ashamed expression in his eyes.
"Don't be stupid Jason. We would've travelled across the world to be here for you two guys" said Trini as the door opened yet again.
"Wow Jason. You have regained consciousness. I got here as rapidly as I could" Said a man wearing Blue jeans and a white and blue sweatshirt.
"BILLY" all of the other rangers shouted in unison.
The 5 original power rangers shared a beautiful moment. They actually made Jason And Kimberly laugh. Billy explained how he had managed to persuade his boss to give him a few days off. It was like old times again.
Zack gave Kimberly her phone charger and she rang Jason's parents, giving Jason the phone. They received the best Phone call parents could get in that situation. They heard their son speak to them. They spoke for a long while. Mrs Scott making sure her son was okay. They were on the verge of getting plane tickets to Florida. But Jason told them not to. He would be in California as soon as he could.
Kimberly was feeding Jason some of the food Zack and Trini brought them on their way back from the flat. They knew kimberly hated hospital food. It made her day to watch Jason eat the food
Billy was in the middle of a thorough explanation of what a coma is and what to expect when the door opened once again.
They all turned to the door and saw two suited men enter the room.
They reached into their pockets and pulled out some badges.
"I'm detective Winchester and this is detective Samuel's. We're here to speak with Mr Scott" Said the detective the short brown hair. Eyeing the people surrounding Jason's bed
"We'll go wait outside" Zack said holding Trini's hand and leaving the room along with Billy. Kimberly stayed in the chair next to the bed
"So Mr Scott. We have tried looking for ANY CCTV footage, we can't find the perpetrators. But we did find the blue Mazda that sped away from the crime scene. But unfortunately it was destroyed. We couldn't gain any information or evidence from it. We're waiting on lab results from the - " Explained detective Winchester but was cut off my Jason who sat up in bed.
"It was Carl" Said Jason looking at the detectives. "The guy who stabbed me said "Carl sends his regards". It's gotta be him" said Jason as kimberly Shifted uncomfortably
"Who's Carl?" Asked detective Samuel's. A long haired man. Glancing at Kimberly. Noticing hey slight movements.
"My ex boyfriend who assaulted us a few years ago. Carl Dixon" said kimberly looking up at the detectives.
"OK we'll speak to Mr Dixon. What did the attackers look like" said detective Winchester.
"Well there was a fat guy about 6 feet tall, short blonde hair. He clean shaven and I remember him having a wrist tattoo. Something like a cross" said Jason as detective Samuel's wrote down the information.
"The other guy was over 6"5, bald, well built , he spoke with a Russian accent or something Eastern European. He was covered in tattoos. He had a spider tattoo on the side of his neck. He was definitely trained in some form of martial arts. Looked like Shotokan karate to me" said Jason with a look of concentration on his face.
"Thankyou Mr Scott. We will go and check out the information you have given us. We will try our best to get to the bottom of this. Thank you for your cooperation" said Detective Winchester
"Here's our contact card if you need to contact us" said Samuel's handing Jason a card.
"Thankyou detectives" replied Jason
" I hope you recover soon Mr Scott" added detective Samuel's
"Thankyou" replied Jason.

2 hours later
Knock knock knock
The door to a run down apartment opened up
"We're looking for a Carl Dixon" asked a short haired man in a suit
"Yeah I'm Carl. Who are you?" he asked
"I'm detective Winchester and this is Detective Samuel's. We have a few questions we would like to ask you Mr Dixon" said Winchester
"Right yeah okay" replied Carl
"May we come in Mr Dixon" asked Detective Samuel
"Yeah yeah come." Said Carl as he opened he door to the apartment.
The detectives went inside to an unkempt room which smelled of damp clothes, and rusty metal.
Detective Winchester was wondering what type of person would live like this. Someone who has given up on life.
"Mr Dixon. You were incarcerated for Assault and battery on one Jason lee Scott and Kimberly Anne Hart as well as breaking and entering. You were sentenced for 26 months" recited detective Winchester
"Yeah I know. And I have been clean ever since. What's this about?" asked Carl
"Well are you aware that there was an attempt on Mr Jason lee Scott's life. He was assaulted, stabbed and left for dead" said Samuel's
Carl's eyes opened wide in shock
"We have found evidence that this was done by two people you shared your prison sentence with. Andrei pichushkin and Bruce Herman. We found blood that matches both men at the crime scene" said detective Samuel's
"Right good. I met them at prison. But we haven't been in contact since I got out. You can arrest them then can't you. What's this got to do with me?" said Carl, looking confused.
"Well Mr Dixon. The suspects mentioned your name as they left the victim to die. You tell us why and how your involved in all of this" Winchester pointed out
"Guys. I had nothing to do with this. I haven't spoken once to them guys since I got out" said Carl
The two detectives looked at him in a disbelieving manner. Detective Winchester even folded his arms across his chest
"Look. I messed up. I totally ruined my life and my ex's. I just want to stay out of any trouble and carry on trying to earn a new life. I've applied for a job at a gas station and I am on the straight and narrow. I had nothing to do with any of this" said Carl Defiantly.
"Thankyou for your time Mr Dixon. We may be in contact in the future." said detective Samuel's letting himself out, as did Winchester.
As they got into their car they both turned to look at each other.
"So what do you think?" asked the younger detective Samuel's
"Nah. He didn't do it. He doesn't have the bottle" replied Winchester
"Let's go bust pichushkin and Herman then" said Samuel's.
...
The Hospital
Two men walked up to the receptionist at the ICU unit.
"Hello there ma'am. We're here to see Jason Scott" asked one of them.
"Good afternoon. He's in room 5. Just carry on forward past this desk, its on the left hand side about 200 yards down" she replied pointing down the hall.
"Thank you ma'am" he said.
The men moved past the reception area and walked down the corridor
The receptionist stared at one of the men
Wow that bald guy is one HUGE man. That piggy blonde dude looks tiny walking next to him. she thought as she watched them walk into room 5.
Uh oh
Peace out
