Kim was the first to clear the ground to the vent. She looked back at the other two making their way through the shadowed areas to her location. She puled out her screw driver and started to undo the grating. By the time that Ron got to the spot all that was left was to remove the cover and slip into ductwork.
"Okay, we are going to continue in this formation. As little noise as possible from here on out."
Bonnie nodded as Kim slipped into the vent shaft after securing her grapnel hook to the outside of the vent. "Next," was heard through the ear bud comm links that they had. Bonnie kissed Ron quickly and followed Kim down the shaft. Ron secured his hook and grabbed the grating and when he heard the go ahead he slid into the shaft and hoked the grating on as good as he could before descending.
The next fifteen minutes was spent slowly moving through the air circulation cavities of the complex till they reached the vent that led to where they needed to be. "Okay, Kim, you are there. There are two guards by the door, right below you. You may not see them from the vent. They seem to be armed with only side arms. No guards outside and the patrol in the hall seems to be on a fifteen minute sweep. Last one left twelve minutes ago," came Wade's voice over the links.
"Thanks, Wade. Do you have anything to help?"
"Check the back pack. You should find two aerosol cans. They contain a rapidly dispersing knock out gas. If you hold your breath you should be okay. If you hit the faces of the guards then they should go out immediately. Should stay down for around half an hour."
Kim felt the containers in the back pack and pulled them out. "Wade, you rock in stereo. Keep the lines open. You will be our eyes and ears here very soon."
While Kim was talking to Wade, Ron was removing the screws to the grate. He softly sighed when he saw that it was hinged on the bottom. The second screw was pulled in by the clamp as Kim popped her neck and closed her eyes to visualize her next move.
When the emerald eyes opened she looked at Ron. "Ready?" He nodded as he popped his shoulders. She looked at Bonnie, "Stay here till we have the room secured. If anything goes wrong, listen to Wade. He will get you out of here and to a safe place till someone can rescue you."
"Kim, if it is that dangerous..."
"Don't worry, Bonnie, this is what I do."
"Ron..."
"It's okay, Bon-Bon."
Bonnie kissed him lightly on the lips. "For luck."
Ron smiled at her and then looked to Kim. "Ready?"
She nodded and turned away from the vent. "Okay." Ron slid down the cover as she sprang feet first backwards and launched herself out of the ductwork. The short trajectory of her body gave her the perfect view of the guards' shocked looks as she came into their line of sight. It also gave her the perfect opportunity to hit both of them with the spray from the cans. They both received open mouth face fulls of the chemical and slumped the floor as Ron dropped just behind Kim.
The two teen heroes scanned the room and saw that in the square room only one person remained. Tied to a chair with his back to them, he struggled to see what was going on. Ron motioned to Bonnie to come down and caught her as she approached him.
"Daddy?" came the soft voice from the brunettes mouth as she moved in front of the bound figure. Kim and Ron knew that they had hit pay dirt when her eyes lit up. She quickly removed the gag in his mouth as Kim and Ron went to undo his bonds.
"Bonnie Blue, how did you get here? You have got to get out of here! It's too dangerous."
"It's okay Daddy. I got here thanks to friends. And we are going to get out of here with you."
His bonds loosened and removed he hugged his daughter in close. "Thank heavens that mad man didn't get you."
"Kim and Ron always play it smart and safe. Mentioning that, Daddy, I would like you to meet Ronald Stoppable."
He held out his hand and Ron shook it. "Stoppable... Any relation to Reggie and Miriam Stoppable?"
"Yes, Sir. My parents."
"See, Bonnie Blue, you can meet nice guys at Temple."
"Actually, we go to school together. Something happened that made me see how special he really is. By the way that is Kim Possible."
Kim waved to him from near the door where she was binding the unconscious guards. He waved back. "John and Marsha's little girl?"
Ron nodded, "You know them?"
"John and I worked together at the space center for a while till I went to private industry. Glad to see things change. Did you know that you two fought with each other at every picnic that the center had?"
"That could explain a lot," commented Ron.
This got him a look from both his girlfriend and his friend that is a girl. "You don't have much experience at this boyfriend thing do you?"
Ron shook his head. "Not really, Sir."
"Good. By the way, have you ever seen the inside of a deep space probe?"
"Daddy..." said an exasperated Bonnie.
"Sorry to break up the bonding with the 'rents, but we need to head out of here to the secured room that Wade found. As soon as we get to it GJ will hit and hit hard. Same formation, follow your daughter. Let's jet, people." With that the slipped into the hall.
Author's Notes: Any one know where Bonnie's middle name comes from? Also, I need a name for Bonnie's father. Any one have any ideas?
