Chapter 7 - The Mission-Trip 1

(2 days later. June 4, 2006, 2pm)

The Kimmunicator beeped the familiar four-ring tone on Kim's dresser as she was trying to get ready to go to the mall to see a movie with Ron and Monique that night. Kim was wearing a striped croptop shirt, stud earrings, a gold chain necklace, a silver locket pendant Ron gave her, and her famed Club Banana dark-denim baggy cargo overalls with the left strap hooked and right strap undone and sneakers.

She grabbed the Kimmunicator from the dresser and pressed the button as Wade came on-screen.

"Hey, Wade! What's the sitch?" Kim asked in her famed phrase.

"Hey, Kim. You got a hit on the site from Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. The lead general of the base is on the line." Wade replied, typing away on his computer.

"Put him on-screen." she insisted.

Wade pressed a button as General Hux, a two-star general, came up.

"Miss Possible, I am glad that my superiors suggested your services." Hux replied. "We have a couple of gentlemen that hold something really important and valuable from a secret lab in Montana."

"What's the big about it?" Kim asked.

Hux tugged at his collar, "With all due respect, I'd rather not talk about it over public communications, Miss Possible. There is a reason why this is considered top secret."

"We will talk more about it in-person in 1600 hours, or 4pm to you civilians." the general continued.

"I will see you then, General!" Kim replied before tapping back to Wade.

"Looks like we're needed for our first mission of the summer." she said. "Movie night will have to be postponed to next weekend. I'll get Ron!"

"When you get closer to the base, I'll provide you with more info, Kim!" Wade insisted.

"Did I ever tell you that you rock, Wade!" Kim laughed.

"Awww...snickerdoodles." Ron complained. Both Kim and Ron were at the Stoppable house and the both of them were in their mission outfits.

"Sorry, Ron. I know you wanted to badly see Bricks of Fury V: The Brickening for this weekend..." Kim began.

"And Rufus was all ready too!" Ron added.

Rufus got out a director's chair and sat onto Ron's shoulder. He grabbed a bullhorn and squeaked 'Action'!

"But our mission work comes first." Kim replied, pointing out on what mattered the most.

"You're right, KP. I just love you so much when we save the world together!" Ron gave his heart-felt reply.

"Aww...thanks, Ron!" Kim replied sweetly before a troop transport pulled up in the driveway.

"I take it that is going to be our ride." Ron guessed.

"Mmm-hmm. Now let's get in and see what the sitch is all about!" Kim insisted as she, Ron and Rufus went inside the transport.

(75 more minutes later)

Kim and Ron were with 20 other troops there heading towards the base.

"Can you help me here?" Ron whined, squeezed inbetween two of the troops. "I can't feel my legs..."

Seargent Jones was the commanding officer of the transport.

"Thanks for the lift, Seargent Jones." Kim replied as she traditionally did on all her rides to missions.

"Are you kidding, Miss Possible?" Jones replied, "It's the least I can do after you helped us lead on that rescue mission to save one of my troops."

"Oh that mission where we had an blizzard in a landside was so no big!" Kim grinned.

"We should be coming on the base very shortly, Miss Possible." Jones said, "I already gave the base security officer the request of security clearance for both you and...uhh...what's-his-face...to give access to the facility."

"Uh...the name's Stoppable...Ron Stoppable..." Ron insisted. "I'm the heroic sidekick slash distraction here!"

"Yeah...him." Jones replied. "Anyways, the BSO just replied. The two of you have been given clearance. General Hux should meet with you shortly, along with the scientists with the 'classified object'!"

"Understood, Seargent." Kim said.

(20 more minutes later)

Once the transport gained access to the base, it came to a complete stop at the front.

General Hux came to Kim and shook his hand.

"I am glad that you came on such short notice, Miss Possible." Hux said, "My soldiers have recommended your services for this mission."

"If there's anything that I can do, General Hux, just call me and beep me!" Kim insisted. "Where are the scientists?"

"They are at the other side of the base. Why not you and your partner step in a Humvee and we'll take you to them." Hux said, pointing to the intended Humvee that they were going in.

"Come on, Ron. Let's get inside!" Kim inclined.

"Right with ya, KP!" Ron said as he and Rufus entered into the vehicle.

(2:15pm)

"And there we go!" James exclaimed, "Everything is ready!" He then heard his cell phone ring.

James picked it up.

"Hello? Possible residence! Oh hey, Ann, my sweet honey bear! How are things at the hospital?"

"Good! Good! I have just finished the final preparations! No, I haven't told Kimmie-cub or Ronald yet. She says that she has to go on some mission. OK, I'll tell her when they both come back to the house! Okay, dear, bye!"

While the Humvee took Team Possible to the other end of the base, they took this opportune time to discuss something that was on Kim's mind.

"KP, do you think that Rebecca really is on the squad?" Ron asked, "Because I didn't like the way she treated Monique and Tara at the party a few days ago."

"No, Ron. According to the Mad Dog Cheer rulebook, Rebecca is only a prospective member on the squad. She has to go through tryouts in July first before she could join." Kim explained the procedure. "And besides, if she does that stuff, she will not be welcomed onto my squad."

Hux escorted the duo and the naked mole rat to a conference room in the base. It had a long table with 40 chairs in it.

"The scientists should be with you in a few minutes, Miss Possible. Make yourselves comfortable." Hux explained.

Kim and Ron then sat in the chairs as the two scientists came into the conference room. One was a female with blonde hair in her 30s, the other was a male in his 40s. Also wheeled into the room was a black box guarded by six soldiers.

"I am so glad that you are here, Miss Possible." the male scientist said. "We have heard of your marvelous reputation on taking on the most impossible of deeds."

"To be fair, Possible is in my name!" Kim smiled.

"We need your help in this trying time." the female scientist explained. "This involves a top-secret military experiment that we need help to transfer from here to another secret back located in the Utah desert."

"Since Hux told me that you're the main scientists behind the project, can you tell me what this experiment is?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, me and KP need to know what it is that we are dealing with." Ron added.

"I do apologize, Miss Possible..." the female scientist replied, "...but it is a matter of national security. About 98% of the information has been redacted from public eyes. But what we can tell you is that it should never EVER be removed from its protective box...or else!"

"Or else what?" Ron wondered.

"That it could fall into the wrong hands." the male scientist explained.

"And we do not want that to happen." the female scientist concluded. "So we are going to trust you with the protection of this object, Miss Possible."

"So when and where does the transfer of the...mystery object...take place?" Kim asked.

The male scientist answered Kim's question.

"It will take place about two weeks from now in Utah right outside the capital, Salt Lake City. On the 18th of June. "

"It's no big! I have a titanium-steel safe in my room where I keep my most glam jewels for special events." Kim explained, "The object will be safe until then."

"Then it's settled!" the female scientist replied, "Miss Possible has earned our trust to protect the object until the transfer occurs. We thank you for your services!"

"It's so not the drama!" Kim replied.

She then turned to her boyfriend. "Come on, Ron. Let's get a ride back to Middleton."

"Right with ya, KP!" Ron exclaimed.
