Under Where?
Ron arrived at Kim's sooner then she had expected, she hadn't even begun to pack yet. He sprinted up the stairs to her room. "You ready yet KP?"
"Not yet Ron. I don't know what to take to wear." She looked at his travel bag, it wasn't exactly large. "That's all you're going to take? That one little bag."
"Yep. I figure I can always pickup more clothes down there, a little more of the local fashion."
"Ron Stoppable, concerned about fashion?" She said in a very mocking tone, placing her hand on her chest. "Be still my beating heart."
"Very funny Kim. Just throw some stuff in and lets go." Ron pulled open a drawer on her dresser and began to paw its contents into one of her duffel bags. He either didn't notice or didn't care that he was in her underwear drawer.
"RON! OUT! NOW!" Kim grabbed him by the collar and literally threw him out down the stairs.
Ron landed with a thud at the bottom, still clutching a lacy pair of red panties. "Ow! What'd you do that for?" When he noticed what he was holding, his face blushed to match. "Sorry Kim!"
Kim came down the stairs a few minutes later carrying a pair of large duffels. She handed them to Ron and put his bag over her shoulder. "Thanks for carrying my bags Ron. Now lets get to the airport."
They arrived to find a private jet waiting, just as Wade had promised. Upon boarding they discovered it was very different from any other private jet they had been on. It didn't have seats, only a single large bed covering the entire passenger compartment. Kim didn't waste any time before getting comfortable on the bed. Ron, on the other hand, simply sat down on the floor near the bulkhead that housed the lavatory. "Ron what are you doing?"
"Just trying to get comfortable Kim." He shifted about trying to find a soft spot on the hard floor.
"You know you don't have to sit down there. Why don't you come up here with me?" She said, patting her hand on the satin sheets.
Ron's face lit up then quickly went back to what passed for normal. "No I'm ok down here, really."
Kim suspected that Ron was somehow punishing himself for digging in her underwear drawer. His parents had told her to expect this, his therapy was going well; but it would take time for him to get back to being his old self. "Ron…" She had her famous puppy-dog-pout going. "Get into bed with me?" Her voice had a certain amount of tease in it.
For a second Ron looked like he was going to pass out, but he quickly sprang from his spot on the floor and landed with a soft thump next to Kim. She could tell by the look on his face that he wanted to make some sort of comment. "Go ahead and say it Ron."
"Say What?" Ron tried to act innocent.
"Whatever you're thinking about saying, I can read you like a book remember…"
"I always knew you wanted to…" The excitement in his voice faded."…ah forget it."
Kim burst out laughing and Ron soon joined her, it had been too long since they laughed like this. Their fun was interrupted by the beeping of her Kimmunicator. Kim immediately went back into mission mode. "What's up Wade?"
"I got that information on Mr. Rosenberg's partner."
"Lets have it." She said.
"Tommy Vercetti, reputed mob enforcer for the Forelli Family in Liberty City. Sentenced in 1969 to 15 years prison for murder. Released in 1986. He surfaced in Vice City two weeks after he got out." Wade held up a stack of paper two inches thick. "This is a small portion of his police file. He is considered a prime suspect in at least a dozen disappearances, and is currently under investigation by both the FBI and Global Justice. This guy is way more than 500 miles of bad road Kim. Why are we helping him again?"
"As a favor for a friend." Kim smiled and thought of Ron.
"Must be some friend." Wade retorted.
"Anything else on Mr. Vercetti?"
"He is married, to a Mercedes Cortez. They have one child, a daughter, Maria she is 16. I'll upload the rest of the details to your Kimmunicator."
The pilot keyed over the cabin speaker "Making our final approach to Vice City now Ms. Possible. We should be on the ground in thirty minutes."
"Thanks for the update Wade."
"No problem Kim. Be careful, both of you." For the first time in a long time Wade was having doubts about their coming back from a mission.
"We will." Kim looked over at Ron, he was staring out the window taking in the cityscape. She decided to join him. The press of her head against his caused him to flinch a bit. "Beautiful isn't it?"
"You have no idea just how beautiful." Ron seemed to be more interested in the view than in Kim, but she didn't press him as to why. The plane touched down and taxied to a stop. After the door was opened, Ron jumped down from the plane and shouted. "Look out Vice City! Ron Stoppable has arrived!"
AN: I added 'Maria' just as someone that Ron and Kim could have take them around Vice City. Also to serve as a liaison between her father's men and Team Possible. And yes I know that 1969 to 1986 is not 15 years, Tommy picked up a deuce on the inside, he's hardcore.
