Yeah, yeah, I know it's been a couple of weeks….but I just got back from Canada. Saw my son's family for the first time in three years. So, it's all good.

Let's jump right to the reviews and comments: CB73, right Kimmie looks to get pummeled. I worry about her mental state when she finds out; Uberscribbler, this update isn't bad; David Falkayn, Ron gets cinders and broken glass to crawl through….yes 'Eric' is a bad one.

Jimmy1201, Kimmie hasn't had to take lethal violence in her 'hero work' so far. Yes, Ronny might be suffering from PTSD, but he won't give her or Eric the satisfaction of knowing.

Jimmy1201 did the beta work on this chapter.

Sooooo, let's get this show on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two

Chapter 38

Middleton Memorial Hospital:

An annoyed Ron Stoppable held his sister as he waited for Doctor Anne Possible to enter the cafeteria for their little meeting. Justine and Big Mike were sitting across from him. Ron commented as he held his sister, "You guys didn't have to come here for this shit show you know."

The slight blonde genius frowned, "From what your tech geek said it might be a good idea to have some support because it sounded like you were going to be raked over the coals by one red haired heroine, Stoppable. She thinks too highly of herself."

Ron shrugged, "Well I admit that I talked to Kim yesterday on the team unit after the thing at the diner went down and it didn't go well. I killed a couple of robbers and Kim didn't like that very much and she let me know where she stood on that issue."

Dave, Tara, Liz, and Josh entered the hospital cafeteria as well sitting themselves down close to the other four (three teens and one child).

"Guys you're making this look like the shootout at the OK corral," the former running back told them.

"I wanna be Doc Holiday.", Josh smiled earning a punch on the upper arm from Tara who began to giggle (She was on her lunch break from the hospital nursery…...AN).

"Kimberly, I insist that I accompany you to this meeting for no other reason than to support you when you speak with your sidekick.", Eric told her as he followed Kim and her mother (who's high heels were clicking on the tile floor) to the cafeteria to meet with Ron and for them to see for themselves that the Asian tyke was well.

Of course, Anne Possible's irritation was obvious to anyone who knew the highly skilled surgeon with an attitude that could take over conversations when she needed to and now the red-haired surgeon felt that Hanna Stoppable's welfare was more important than anything else than she was going to come across in the next few minutes.

Ron heard the 'clicking' and then heard a sneeze. He noticed his sister turn her head and begin to giggle as she held out her hands.

Ron then turned his head to follow Hanna's line of site and muttered, "Shit, somebody take Hanna."

Josh reached out and grabbed the raven-haired tyke from the former running back. After the artist had the baby secured, Ron quickly pulled his hood over his head and sealed it then pulled the sleeve extensions out and covered his hands and sealed them too.

Anne asked her daughter, "What was all that?"

"Mom, every time Ron and I are close he has to seal himself up like that, so I don't have an allergic reaction."

Eric frowned, "The sidekick could just leave, and you could hold the child then."

Anne rolled her eyes at Kim's boyfriend's callousness and asked, "Then how will Ispeak with Ronald Eric? That was the purpose of him coming into the hospital. Kimberly and you were not invited to the meeting."

"Ma'am, I mean Doctor Possible, Kimberly wished to see the child and I would be remiss if I did not accompany her," Eric countered, "Just because my family decided that it would not be appropriate for them to adopt the child for her own benefit that does not mean that I should abandon my girlfriend."

Anne Possible frowned, "Eric, do you really think that Kimmie is too timid to talk to her life-long friend without your support? Your actions have alienated Ron Stoppable from you and at least partially from my daughter, I do not want that to continue. Do you understand me?"

"I do, but I will not return the house, however. We are going to resell the place sometime this summer to cover my medical expenses.," Eric informed the surgeon.

"It took three hundred thousand dollars to treat your back?" Anne inquired then said, "I should check billing to see why the bills were so high. Something like that should have only cost at the most ten thousand. Are you scheduled for an operation?"

"No operation is scheduled Doctor Possible. The rest was compensation for pain that I suffered and still do, this might make playing polo more difficult and that is one of my passions," Eric explained hoping that his legal eagle would be able to fudge the numbers a little…or a lot.

"Nevertheless, I will have the matter investigated when I become chief of staff, but I swear anyone who has the cash to play polo need not worry about small sums of cash. They can afford superior medical treatment. I will have Doctor Swashplate have specialists investigate your case along with some physical therapists to make sure you are in top pony-playing form. They'll be in contact with you through Kimmie sometime next week," Anne promised.

Eric nodded, hearing the threat behind the promise. He knew that he had to keep an eye on Anne Possible otherwise she might be able to see through his plans. The 'English' teen also knew he had an aversion to pain in all its forms and he realized he was going to have to speak with his uncle on how to proceed without ending up with egg on his face. Not to mention keeping his body out of the hands of an over-eager physical terrorist.

Ron chuckled from inside his suit as Josh handed Hanna back, "And it's going to come out of your pocket since you signed the agreement to release me from all future liability pal."

Anne glanced at Ron knowing what the three letters in that last word really stood for.

[Jimmy: Hmmm. I'm thinking that "Profit and Loss" wasn't what Anne was thinking of… Sentinel?] (No, remember, I worked over 45 years in factories. My language CAN be a little 'salty'….ST)

Kim admonished her childhood, "Be NICE to Eric, Ron."

The sidekick muttered, "I didn't agree with your boyfriend being here. If he stays, I go." And to make his point Ron stood up from the table.

"Thanks for coming back to Middleton Doctor Possible. It was great seeing you. For my own reasons I will not be in a conversation in which Eric Thornbottom has a part unless my lawyer is present, this is nonnegotiable. He has caused me, and my family harm and I will avoid being in the same room as he is, please excuse me."

A wide-eyed Kim Possible stared at her suit enclosed friend as some of the other Middleton students began to back away to give Ron a clear exit. "If I'm going to be here Ron, so is Eric….Ron, you and I need to talk about those guys you killed…"

Anne gasped, "Ronald…."

Ron Stoppable sighed then explained, "Ma'am there was a robbery where I work and one of the guys threatened my sister's life with a gun. I took the chance when he was distracted and killed him and then another guy too. No one else was hurt. End of story. I don't wanna talk about it anymore."

"It was in self-defense then?" Anne inquired.

"Yeah, it was according to the cops and detectives who showed up, Now, I didn't ask to speak with you, Kim, your mother asked to speak with me. I don't wear this suit for shits and giggles you know. In fact, I hate wearing it. I only sealed it up because you were starting to have a reaction and I promised Wade that I would wear it around you so that you wouldn't have a reaction to me," the former running back informed her.

The heroine responded, "Fine…"

The older red head suggested, "Kimmie why don't you and your boyfriend go outside for some fresh air?"

"Mom?"

"Please honey? Ronald should be able to get a say in who is around him if he has trouble with them," Anne responded.

A frowning Kim Possible grabbed Eric's hand and pulled him away from where Ron and the others had been sitting.

Anne sat down and held her hands out, "I want to see Hanna, please let me hold her."

Inside the hood, Ron rolled his eyes and handed Hanna over. After waiting for Kim to tow Eric out of sight, he unsealed his suit, pulling the hood back. He was slightly flushed and muttered, "I hate that damned thing."

"Are Kimmie's reactions that bad Ronald?" Anne asked.

"Yeah, they are. Listen Missus Doctor Pea, I know you're busy with Mister Doctor Pea incarcerated here. Why did you need to talk to me?" Ron inquired as he got right to the point.

Anne glanced at the other teens, "They all know what you had with Kimmie?"

Ron nodded, "And I asked them and the whole school to not say anything till this summer sometime. I'm hoping to keep a lid on it till Kim goes off to college."

"I have a question, Ron."

"Sure, go ahead."

"You used to call my daughter 'KP,' why don't you do that anymore?"

"Last year she told me that only her boyfriend can call her that and since I am not her BF I don't qualify," Ron explained with a slight edge to his voice.

"James has told me before that you are not cooking meals for him and the kids…."

"Yeah, Eric has some chef who works for him doing the meals. Anyway, I have a cooking gig now."

"But it's a diner Ronald. Your cooking is chef quality too…."

Ron countered, "I guess the other guy has been to cooking school, I haven't been nor am I likely to go."

"Why not?"

"Ma'am, right now I must hold onto cash, plain and simple. Kim's boyfriend has my house….well it's his now, but I used some of the money from the insurance to buy a place in Lowerton which is gonna be done this summer. My plans are to move in debt free. With the claude I make, me and Hanna will be able to get by," Ron explained, "You don't need a college degree to cook except at fancy places."

"Are you old enough to buy a place?"

"My insurance agent did, when I turn twenty-one, he will sign the title over to me for a buck.

"I see, uh, we might be able to help out…with college…."

"Thank you, Ma'am, but no thanks. Dad made a big deal about making it on your own so I am going to do what I can do the best way I can. I just don't need aggravation from that asshole, Eric, who seems determined to make my life a living hell."

"So, Ronald….you know better than everyone here how Kimmie goes with relationships, what are you going to do when she wants to be your girlfriend again? Or remembers what you had?"

"Not gonna happen Ma'am. I'm baching it from now on…."

"Baching it, what is that?"

"I'm gonna be a bachelor for the rest of my life, my shot at romantic relationships is over. If I ever let her back into my life romantically Kim will only toss me to the side at some later date, I am making a clean-cut right now. I will still be her friend, but I won't be the rug under her feet. Mom isn't here to give me any grief over it. If anyone is gonna continue the family name, it's gonna be Sis."

Anne pointed out, "You are only seventeen Ronald…."

"Yup, still a confirmed bachelor. I'll be a supporting Uncle or Dad or whatever I am to her who spoils his Sister's rug rats rotten and drives her crazy. Maybe by the time the lil intruder gets out of college I'll be able to go and work on my degree or something. Maybe work on a ship and travel around the world a coupla times till I get sick of it."

Anne frowned, "That could be twenty-three or four years from now….you'll be…"

"In my forties, I know. I'll be getting a little later start on life, but I am not going to reproduce, so I don't have to worry about that. I'm thinking about getting cut anyway," Ron's frown turned into a grin, "I'll live through Hanna and retire a grumpy old man who everybody avoids like the plague until he ends up in a place with others like him."

"But…"

"No butts or anything else, I've learned my lesson Ma'am." Everyone else, even though they were sitting down, were getting nervous from the direction of the conversation. It was nothing that they hadn't heard before, but Ron explaining it to Mrs. Dr. Possible made it more real.

Anne Possible countered, "Breaking up with Kimmie wasn't the end of the world…."

"There was never a 'breakup'," Ron finger quoted, "Therefore there was never anything to breakup since we aren't together. It was mass hysteria or maybe even wish fulfillment now that I think of it and after a few years everyone will forget about the buffoon and the world can get back to normal."

"You'll meet Kimmie at class reunions Ronald.," Anne tried this tact.

"They're not compulsory Ma'am, like I said I will disappear, and I will only pop up when I must. I've learned to be unnoticed, it's the one thing I am good at."

"Ronald you will end up very lonely…."

"I understand that Doctor Possible, but it is what it is. The center will not hold, well at least for me that is," Ron responded as Anne finished her cursory inspection of the Japanese baby who grabbed onto the surgeon's hair.

"Hanna seems to be in fine condition, good job."

"She has a little diaper rash, but I have it almost cleared up. I shoulda used more powder when we were on the plane. Next time I'll know. Of course, in about a year we are going to be potty training Sis," the former mascot laughed, "And then no more wet butts unless you want them."

Tara reddened, "I should've worked harder on it too Ron."

"Meh, it's my responsibility girlfriend. It's gonna be a few years before you and Mister Artist start popping them out."

Josh responded, "A good few years I hope…I mean I want them, but well."

Ron chuckled, "We all get it. It's more fun making the ankle biters than raising them, from what I hear."

Tara frowned, "Ron we all know."

"About what?" the former running back inquired.

The platinum blonde looked around then said lowly, "What you and Kim had been doing. I'm sorry Doctor Possible."

Anne shrugged her shoulders, "Honey, everyone goes through this. Please be aware Ronald did not take advantage of Kimmie. She gave as good as she got."

Ron's eyes flashed for a moment then he relaxed, "It's something I won't admit to a cute girl, though it was a nice memory. I'm done with that kind of stuff now."

"You're going to be lonely Ron…"

"I've got Hanna, how lonely am I really gonna be? I mean what more do I really need? When she finally gets into school, I'll be joining PTAs, doing bake sales, and bringing homemade cookies to her school. I could be a chaperone…if I can sidekick and blow-up villain lairs and stop nuclear power trains then herding ankle biters will be a snap. So, like I said it will be fine. The munchkin is gonna need a full time Dad and I'm volunteering for the job, so I won't be that lonely…"

"You are putting up a front, ass hole.," Dave accused his friend, "Tank woulda smacked some sense into your skull by now."

Ron lowered his voice dangerously, "If I ever find the asshole that executed him, they won't have to schedule him for the needle. I'll sneak into the prison and off him in his cell while his butt buddy is asleep."

Doctor Anne Possible looked at the boy she almost raised, "Ronald!"

The blond teen snapped back, "There is gonna be a kid growing up without her dad. The punishment is appropriate."

Dave rolled his eyes and explained the situation, "Thank you, jerk. Hardly anyone knows that Melanie is PG. Doctor Possible, Tank was married to Melanie Woodson. They moved here from Lowerton. There are a ton of Woodsons down there and they are all related and they are all pissed that Tank was killed and quite a few of them are in law enforcement."

Anne's eyes narrowed, "So we have a teen father who would like to find Mister Woodson's killer, and something tells me that he moving to Lowerton where Mister Woodson's relatives live and many of whom are police officers am I correct?"

Ron informed them, "Mostly but I don't expect help. I plan on hunting down the animal. Don't think that I can't do this and don't think I can't train my baby sister to do this. Let me have Hanna."

Doctor Possible handed the tyke off to her blond brother.

Ron then said, "Hanna….PAGE!"

The baby giggled and said, "PAGE."

SLAP

The former running back laughed as everyone could see the handprint on his cheek. "Let me have her for twenty-one years and she'll be better than Kim Possible, by a lot."

"Don't push your sister into that life Ron," Tara pled as Ron passed Hanna back to Doctor Possible.

"Her choice, you remember what I said about a super ninja baby? She could be the real deal. All she needs in fourteen years is a bumbling sidekick and we might end up right here again….well Lowerton. I'm gonna teach her all the ins and outs of picking locks, running up hills all day long. All sorts of martial arts classes, gymnastics, weights….how to survive in the woods, swim, mountain climb, and I am going to make it fun. Like I said I'll be busy and my baby sister ain't gonna be no pushover and I'll keep an eye out for off colored maniac villains who wanna take over the world."

Anne's eyes were wide, "What kind of life is that Ronald for a baby?"

"How much training did Kim get?" Ron countered, "You guys had her horseback riding when she was five, same with swimming and hiking. Let's talk kung fu classes, she started at six and a half. You know she has all the technical knowledge she might ever need. What am I doing that is any different? All I am doing is giving Sis my life and I am willingly doing it, so she has a life, and she won't be bogged down by the biggest loser who has ever lived in Middleton, Colorado. Once she takes off for the stars, I will head off to college to get my degree. My second job is done and my first will have been done for twenty years by that time. Anyway, she might not go that route, but if she does then she'll be ready."

Dave frowned as Anne looked on, "You are sacrificing everything for your sister then…"

"Yeah, till she's off on her own with a family. They won't need me. Maybe I'll be able to take a vacation then." Ron now grinned.

"Besides, doesn't sacrifice mean you have to give something up?"

Doctor Possible stared at the blond teen, "You could end up marrying someone who could become Hanna's Mother…."

"Nah, I can handle it. The next five years will be tough, but then it will get easier. By the time Wheels gets his PhD Hanna will be in grade school and she will have all the support that I never got, BUT she won't ever go to Wannaweep. I don't wanna screw up her life like that. If she wants to be a crime fighting teen, I can go with that although I might point her in another direction where she won't meet up with the Bonnie Rockwallers of the world. Anyway, I will make some friends in Lowerton and among those I expect will be some of the Woodsons. Our new place is only a few miles from where Melanie is living."

"That's not fair Ron, you know Bonnie's a lot better now.," Tara pointed her finger at the former running back.

Sigh, "I know, I just wish she had never been the person she was. Everything woulda been a lot easier."

Anne, still bouncing Hanna on her knee, responded, "Ron is Hanna violent?"

"Nah, she seems to think that thing that we do is just a game for her and for me, I don't think there's a chance someone else getting their jaw dislocated for a while. Of course, when she figures out that Eric dropped her…"

Tara looked at her watch and announced, "My lunch break is over, and I have to get back to the nursery. Ron, do you want me to take your Sister with me?"

"I…"

Liz held out her hands for the child, "I think we…," she looked over to Dave (who nodded the affirmative), "….we will hang with Ron for a few minutes."

Anne sighed, "I do have a few patients to see as well. Ronald, you are doing well, you have a plan to raise your sister and while I do not agree with it entirely, since you have the best interests for her at heart, I will grudgingly agree for the time being that you have the right to raise her as you see fit."

"Uh, thanks Doctor Possible I appreciate that. I'd like to go up and see Mister Doctor Pea, but I don't wanna run into Kim and Eric again. He already harshed my mellow today and I don't wanna another dose of it. So, when you see him tell him that I'll be up later with some reading material to keep his mind busy if that's alright with you. I'll try to be here before I go into work," the former running back responded.

"It is and I will pass the message along. Kids, I hope to speak with you all later." Anne rose from her chair with a sad smile and walked out.

Ron looked at his friends, "Thanks for supporting me, sometimes Missus Possible can run right over ya, I know from experience. She means well though. "

"Let's go get something to eat Ron," Dave Alberts suggested.

Ron asked as he help his hands out to Tara, "Hanna, are you up for some grub?"

The raven-haired Japanese baby clapped her hands while she tried to wiggle out of the blonde's arms.

Ron laughed, "Well we have the munchkin's vote. Where are we going?"

"I know a little diner. Why don't we head there?"

"Better not be the Jar Head place, it's closed down until the crime scene guys get done and it's scrubbed down," Ron informed them.

XXX

Grrrrr.

"Calm down Kimberly I am sure the buffoon didn't mean that he wouldn't speak with you because of me being around," Eric spoke softly in the red-head's ear from behind.

"He so owes me BF."

"I agree he does and taking the life of another…sigh…he is dangerous. It is hard for me to believe that he has been your friend for so long. The loss of his parents must have hardened his attitude towards others."

"Eric, we at Team Possible….it is our code to never take a life and now Ron has snuffed out two lives. He should have apprehended them. In all the years we have been going up against super villains we have never ever taken a life. The villains have, but not us."

"I agree, maybe I was wrong. I should ask my family again if they will agree to intervene for the sake of the child. She should not be with such a dangerous and unstable person. I might even say he should be committed. Someone like that should not even be within miles of a baby," Eric squeezed Kim's shoulders lightly.

"Eric, I must point out that I don't think the authorities will allow your family to adopt Hanna Stoppable. Although her real parents are dead and her adoptive parents are dead too, she is an American citizen now…I saw the paperwork and I don't think the government will let her out of the country into someone else's care unless they have exhausted all avenues. And we have tons of people that want to adopt babies. If Ron wanted to give Hanna up, I'm sure he would find someone quickly, but I don't think he would do that."

"In my country we sometimes must make the decision for people like your friend, Kimberly. Our system is better in that regard."

"Eric, did she look abused to you. Underfed, not clean? She had clean clothes on. Tara King checks on her all the time and the day care that Ron uses is the hospital nursery, and they are inspected by the city and state all the time. If the kids there need medical attention, it's right here and to look after the kids there must be papers on file that gives the hospital staff the permission to treat them.," Kim informed Eric who didn't know anything about all of this

The auburn-haired teen continued, "And if they see anything that looks like abuse the police can be here in five minutes flat."

"I, uh, did not know that Kimberly…"

"Eric, just give up on adopting Ron's sister. If legal action goes before a court, it will be contested at least by my Mom and Dad. Those people on the jury are bound to find out that when you came into my life Ron was pushed out. Also, they might have to consider that you look exactly like the 'thing' that tried to help Drakken take over the world last spring. I know you aren't, but they might bring that up. Also….(Kim had to tread lightly here) it might also be brought up that you sued the Stoppables and got their house. Each one of those are just petty things, but when you put them all together, they might begin looking very hard at you and us. And might decide to keep you here until it's all figured out. And if they don't start proceedings until the summer, we might end up missing the start of college.," Kim informed Eric about as much as she could without getting into trouble since she gave him some information that Wade wanted kept away from the English teen.

(The red head knew she had been warned away from cluing Eric in on the potential legal action by Ron's attorney, but she felt that Eric would never intentionally do anything to harm Ron or Hanna….AN)

"Kimberly I am not welcome being near to your friend, why don't we visit your Father and see how he is recovering?" Eric suggested.

"Yeah, you know you don't have to come up there with me…."

"I insist Kimberly, it is my duty as your boyfriend. What kind of person would I be if I didn't go with you to see a sick or injured relative?"

"Thanks Eric, you're the best," Kim turned to the suave teen and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Lazy Joe's Café:

"Never been here before Dave, what's it like?"

"Run of the mill eatery Ron, I was up in Upperton a couple weeks ago and wanted some lunch, so it was here and…."

"And I needed a bathroom break, sidekick," Liz finished.

"Is their food decent?" Ron asked.

"I think so, come on Josh let's get a move on. I'll bet Sis is hungry." Ron laughed as he told the artist while getting Hanna out of the back of his Mom's car.

Joshua Mankey muttered, "Stoppable, I am taking Tara out later," as Ron shut his Sister's door and locked the car.

Liz giggled, "Ron you need to let Dave handle her sometimes, he needs to get used to babies at some point."

The former running back's eyes opened, "Huh? Oh man… and uh gal congratulations…."

Dave had a questioning look on his face and Josh covered his eyes with his hands and explained since he knew that the former running back would occasionally go off the cliff, "Uh Dave…Ron thinks you and Liz are….well you might wanna clarify things to him."

Now Alberts shook his head, "We haven't yet."

Liz Sours elbowed her BF, "But you never know, if people think we are, even if they are dumb, we might as well at some point."

"Liz honey, I don't want to push you into anything."

Ron frowned then the light went on in his head, "Uh sorry guys, I guess I made a logic leap, and it was totally wrong."

Liz laughed, "For that you buy. You have gainful employment anyway."

Ron chuckled as he handed Dave the child, "Take Sis for a minute I gotta get her diaper bag."

"Hello, James, how are you feeling today?" Anne inquired as she sat down in a chair next to his bed.

"Oh, hi…Anne, yes. I don't feel dizzy now and I think I am remembering some things….mostly about K….Kim and Ron. I kind of remember Kim introducing him to us a long time ago somewhere."

"That is right Jimmy, she did about thirteen years ago." Anne smiled as she filled in some of the 'blanks' for her husband.

"The boys weren't there yet….you were pregnant with them when Kimmie met Ronald…," James searched his mind.

"Very good. Do you remember….(the door opened, Kim and Eric entered)….what happened before the police found you?" Anne inquired.

"I was out with the guys from work….I work at…at the space center."

Anne smiled at her daughter and Eric seeing that James was making substantial progress. James continued to ramble, "I was leaving when….when some…."

Eric interjected, "What did you see Doctor Possible?"

Anne frowned at the interruption.

"Well, uh…"

"Eric Sir, your daughter's boyfriend."

"Oh, yes, yes….Annie you know I really don't like this….Eric here. Ronald would be much more acceptable in my opinion."

"Daddy! Eric is my BF, not Ron nor he never will be." the younger red head chided her Father, "I know you don't remember, but he and I are going to college together over in England next fall."

"Ohhh, I don't remember that K….Kim." James Possible now looked confused then brightened, "Will Ronald be up today?"

Anne nodded then revealed, "He said that since he doesn't plan to be at work today, he should be up later."

Kim's eyes opened wide as her Mother explained, "Ronald does not like wearing that suit all sealed up and he said he would be up later when he felt you wouldn't be here."

A smile flickered on Eric's face before it died away. Kim, since she had her back to him, didn't see it, but Anne Possible did.

James was now smiling, "Yes, it would be good to see him. Will he be bringing his daughter up?"

Anne shook her head, "No because you are in the hospital and second Hanna is his Sister and not his daughter. Ronald's parents passed away leaving Ronald the older and he has taken responsibility for raising the child. In the summer they are planning on moving to Lowerton."

"Why would they do that?"

Anne took a deep breath and told him, "Because Eric sued Ron's parents for an injury and Ronald agreed to give him the house if that settled the suit. Since then, Ronald and his Sister have moved in with a friend and are living there until their home is finished in Lowerton."

"Buying a home? Wouldn't that take some money?"

"Yes," Anne agreed, "but Ronald is using some of the insurance money. He plans to live in Lowerton until he retires. I spoke with him today about this."

Of course, this was news to Kim and more importantly Eric when he inquired, "Do you have Stoppable's new address Doctor Possible?"

"I do not Eric. I didn't think to ask. Please be aware that Ronald does not want to have anything to do with you. I can see his point since you saw fit to sue his family and spoke with Child and Family Services about what his situation is. He does not want you to be even near to his sister. In time he may change his view, but for now I would stay away from him. If you are continually around him, he may take out a peace bond on you. " Anne advised.

Eric stared then asked, "What is this peace bond?"

"If Ronald goes to court and shows that you are harassing him and he can prove it then if you come around him, he can call the police and they will put you in jail.", Anne told the young man, "That means the police would put you in a cell and fingerprint you to see if there are other outstanding warrants on you."

"On me?" Eric's eyes opened wide.

"Oh yes, they would want to know if you had any other crimes pending where they could hold you over for prosecution. Kimmie could tell you all about that." Anne actually saw the English teen cringe.
