Tommy and Kimberly were standing close together. Zeltrax walked over to them and held them still. Tommy and Kimberly's backs were facing each other. Elsa began to wrap cord around their waists. Once it was tight, she cut it. Then she wrapped the cord around their shoulders, until she tied it off in a tight knot. Zeltrax held their wrists together and she tied their wrists together. Finally, she wrapped the cord around their ankles. Tommy and Kimberly were stuck together like glue. Elsa saw a locker in the corner. Zeltrax helped her carry Tommy and Kimberly over to the locker. But, it was too small to put them in. Elsa looked all over the small room find a place to stick Tommy and Kimberly.
"There isn't a place here," confirmed Zeltrax. "We'll have to take them back up to the storage closet."
They carried Tommy and Kimberly back up to the storage closet. Elsa and Zeltrax looked for a place to stick them.
"You'll never get away with this!" declared Kimberly." The rangers will find us."
"Why can't you to do as you're told?" asked Elsa. "Dr. Oliver can follow directions ."
"Elsa, I'll scream!" warned Kimberly. "Help will come."
Zeltrax saw a handkerchief on the table. Just as Kimberly opened her mouth, Zeltrax stuffed it into Kimberly's mouth. He found a roll of clear tape. Zeltrax tore of a piece and put it on Kimberly's lips. She tried to spit out the handkerchief, but the tape was sticking to her lips.
"Give it up Kimberly," remarked Elsa.
"MMMPH!"
"We're taking you to Mesogog," warned Zeltrax. "Why can't you obey like Doctor Oliver?"
"Tommy, if you make a sound, you'll end up just like her," warned Elsa. "Are you going to be as stupid as her? I want a yes or no. If you don't answer, you'll end up like her."
Tommy knew that he had to give an answer. He was going to say no. However, he knew Kimberly would think that he agreed with Elsa. She would think Tommy thought she was stupid.
"No," replied Tommy.
He heard Kimberly begin to sob. Tommy felt his eyes began to tear up. She took it the wrong way. Tommy always thought Kimberly knew that she was his wife, his team mate, and his best friend. What would she think now? Elsa and Zeltrax heard somebody coming.
"We better leave," suggested Elsa. "We can take them to Mesogog later."
"Where can we put them?" asked Zeltrax.
Elsa looked around and saw a tight spot in the corner. There were brooms and dust pans in the corner. There were also hangers hanging up. Elsa saw there was a curtain, they shut it and no one would see Tommy and Kimberly. Zeltrax helped Elsa carry them to the corner. They pushed Tommy and Kimberly into the corner.
"Have a nice weekend," remarked Elsa. "You'll be here, until Monday. Or until somebody finds you."
She pulled the curtain shut and they vanished through a portal. A door opened and the janitor got his mop that was in the corner. He didn't notice the curtain was pulled shut. He turned out the lights. When Tommy was sure no one was around, he felt like he need to say something to Kimberly. Tears were beginning to run down his face.
"Kim, I know you were hurt, when I had to give to Elsa an answer. I wasn't agreeing with her, I didn't want to end up like you."
Tommy heard her sob harder.
"Kim, please let me explain. I didn't want to end up like you, because I knew you were scared. You needed someone to talk to you and reassure you everything was going to be okay. Beautiful, I don't think your stupid. You are one of the smartest people I know. Please remember you're with me and I love you."
Tommy heard Kimberly trying to move and she was trying to say something. But, he couldn't understand what she was saying. He noticed tears were pouring down his face. He knew his voice would crack. But, he to comfort her.
"Beautiful, don't try to struggle to speak or struggle to move. I'll try to get us out of this. If this had to happen and I could have done things different, I would have grabbed you when we fell through the trap doors. If I did that, I would be holding you right now. Kim, if we are in this postion again, we'll both be smarter. I'll be holding you close, even though we'll have cords wrapped tightly around us. I'm going to find a way to free us. As soon as I get my hands loose, I'll get the tape off you lips and pull the handkerchief out of your mouth. I'll cut the cords off your hands, and cords off our ankles."
Tommy tried to move forward. He felt something cut his bare chest. He realized a saw was right next to him. Tommy began to moved his wrists across the saw, so it could cut them off. He felt the cords hit the ground. His hands were free. He slowly picked up the saw and began to cut the cords that were wrapped around the ankles. The cords hit the ground.
He slowly began to cut the cords that were wrapped around their waists. He was successful and the cords landed on the ground. However, he noticed there was huge tear in his board shorts and in Kimberly's tanksuit. Tommy realized he couldn't turn around to face Kimberly. They still had cords wrapped around their shoulders.
"Kim, I have to cut the cords that is wrapped around our shoulders. Please don't move."
Tommy slowly began to cut the cords that were wrapped around their shoulders. He felt a something run down his chest. He had cut himself a little bit. Tommy was able to turn around and face Kimberly. He saw that one of the straps on her swimsuit was hanging down. It was probably cut, when he cut the cords wrapped around their shoulders.
"I'm going to remove the tape. I'll be as gentle as I can."
Tommy slowly pulled the tape off of Kimberly's lips. She couldn't open her mouth, due to the handkerchief. Tommy slowly pulled the handkerchief out of her mouth. Finally, he cut the cords that were wrapped around her wrists.
As soon as she was free, she threw her arms around Tommy. She was crying. Tommy noticed he was about to cry. He wrapped his arms around Kimberly and held her.
