Disclaimer: I don't own Kim Possible. No, I didn't sell the rights; I never had them.
Author's Notes: Cookies to the ones that pegged the song. It was also the reason that Rhett and Scarlet named their daughter that in Gone with the Wind. I would like to thank all that suggested names for Bonnie's father's name. I have decided to meld a couple of suggestions, so welcome Joshua David Bernstein to the cast. Yes, I know that would have made Bonnie's original name Bonnie Blue Bernstein. Triple B, cute huh? Though no one would call her that, she is probably a small C.
Kim looked at the security camera feed through the Kimmunicator and nodded. "We are going to go out to take a left out of here. Three doors down is a lockdown room that is where we are going to stay till we get an all clear."
Behind her, the three people nodded. "Get ready to sound the charge, Wade."
"I am in contact with GJ Command right now, Kim. As soon as you are in the room they are going to hit."
"Good, okay now let's move." She opened the door and slid her head out for a quick look. Seeing no one in the halls, she quickly made a left and slipped down the hall followed closely by Bonnie. When she arrived at the door, she opened it and Bonnie went in soon followed by her father. Kim stood guard at the open door and slid into the opening as Ron was approaching. As soon as Ron was in the door, they shut it and Kim hit the lockdown button.
Less than ten seconds after she had sealed the room, they heard the faint sounds of explosions. "Wade wasn't kidding that they were going to go as soon as we got in here."
"Unfortunately not, Ms. Possible, that means that I have less time to be kind to get the information that I need," came a gravelly voice from the shadows in the corner of the room. A man in combat fatigues stepped out of the shadows; half of his face was shielded from view by a black metal mask.
"I would like to thank you for your incompetence though. It has helped immensely in my ability to get the information that I need." He leveled a pistol at Bonnie, "Now Joshua, please tell me the access codes to your research, or I shall be forced to lower the number of your descendents."
"WHAT!" screamed Bonnie as he deliberately chambered a round into the firearm.
"Oh it is quite easy to understand. Your precious father resisted all methods so far employed to get him to give us three little words. Now that we have something of his to threaten… well you see how this helps the situations, yes?"
"If you kill her I will never tell you."
"Kill? I won't kill her, at least not immediately. Legs, arms, her pretty face all of these have so much potential, and none of them in and of themselves are lethal. So, what are they?"
The sounds of gun fire could just be heard through the silence of the room. Kim started to try to circle the edge of the room. There was a gunshot and the wall sprayed chips at her as the echo of the explosion continued in everyone's ears. "Sorry, no Ms Possible, I am aware of what you can do. Come now, Joshua, the next one goes into your daughter. Perhaps her shin, I think that would shatter nicely. End her ballet and cheerleading that is for sure. I am sure that long skirts and pants would hide the scarring." He smiled toward her when he noticed Ron's face. "Oh, we have someone that doesn't like his friends threatened. Interesting that you didn't have that look when the bullet flew towards Ms Possible, could it be that you don't think that I was aiming at her?"
"I know Kim can take care of herself in this situation. That and your aim was a mile wide. You are nothing more than a bully. You can't do anything yourself you have to threaten people that you think are weaker than you." Ron put his hand on Bonnie's shoulder and pulled her back towards her father as he leapt towards the armed man.
Ron was able to grab Janus's right wrist before he was able to aim the gun at him. Try as Ron might he couldn't keep the gum pointing at the ceiling or floor. His strikes against the man were having little if no effect because of the blocking and struggling of the masked man.
Kim tried to get close enough to land blows but was kept away from the guns sporadic movements and the chance of hitting Ron. In the far corner, there was another struggle as Bonnie tried to cover her father, only to have him try to cover her. With a scream, Ron grabbed Janus by the waist and rammed him against the wall. In the course of this, Janus forced the gun down and there was another explosion of sound from the gun.
Author's notes: I debated to continue on or stop at this point. Cliffhanger wins out. Sorry. Well, not really.
