Chapter 5

Bonnie's Report

Later that same night, at the home of the Possible family:

Ron had taken Kim home later, after she had taken the credit for what Ron had done,

"Why should I take the credit, you took him out?" Kim asked, looking at Ron,

"As far as the press, and the police is concerned, The Shadow doesn't exist, he's figment of wild imaginations." Ron said,

"Kind of an urban legend, huh?" Kim asked,

"You might say that." Ron replied,

"How am I going to explain this to my dad?" Kim asked, then Ron had grabbed her right hand, and slipped a ring on her finger, it looked the same as Ron's Shadow ring, with one exception, it was made for a woman,

"This identifies you as an agent of The Shadow, if another agent walks up to you, they will give you a code, they will say, 'The sun is shining,' your reply will be, 'But the ice is slippery,' that's how agents of mine recognize each other." Ron said,

"Anything else I need to know?" Kim asked,

"Yeah, don't remove the ring, if I need you, I'll activate it, the ruby will glow red, like mine did earlier, that means that I need to see you, you must then make your way to The Sanctum, and wait for me there, I shouldn't be too long." Ron said,

"Okay, but why not just tell Wade, that would be quicker, wouldn't it?" Kim asked,

"Nah, this is much more efficient, radio waves can be tracked, not these babies." Ron said, pointing to the ring on Kim's finger,

"Cool." Kim said, smiling, she had gotten another piece of jewelry she didn't really need, but she had to wear it,

"Besides, I like it on you." Ron said, smiling,

"Wait until dad sees this, he's gonna freak, should I tell him the truth?" Kim asked, looking at Ron,

"No, I'll tell him in my own time." Ron said,

"Okay, I'll go with that, but you should tell him, Ron, sooner, or later, he's gonna figure it out, like I did." Kim said,

"Yeah, I know, that's the thing about your family, they have a very keen mind, as I'm sure you know." Ron said, his smile getting wider, he leaned over, and placed a kiss on Kim's forehead, in one swift motion, Kim turned her lips to meet his, Ron didn't resist, instead, he melted into the kiss, and allowed himself to be swept away in the moment,

"That was . . . amazing." Ron said, finally breaking the kiss, (much to Kim's dislike)

"Let's do lunch." Kim said, before walking into the Possible family home,

"Sounds like a winner to me, say around noonish?" Ron asked,

"Sounds good, Bueno Nacho?" Kim asked,

"You know it." Ron said, grinning widely,

"See you tomorrow, Ron." Kim said cheerily,

"Catch ya later, KP." Ron said, turning away from the driveway, and walking down the street.


As Kim walked into the house, and sat down on the sofa, her father entered the room,

"Hey, Kimmie, I . . ." be began, but he cut himself off when he noticed the ring on Kim's finger,

"The sun is shining." Kim said, smiling at her father,

"But the ice is slippery," Mr. Dr. Possible replied, looking at his daughter, "you're an agent of The Shadow?"

"Who?" Kim asked,

"Right, I forgot," Mr. Dr. Possible replied, "how did you get on his list?"

"Oh, I gave him a little hand tonight." Kim said, smiling, she had no intention of telling her father about her little secret, and she decided to keep Ron's silence as well,

"Did you find out who it was?" Mr. Dr. Possible asked,

"No." Kim lied,

"I have a feeling that you're not telling me everything, Kimmie." Mr. Dr. Possible replied,

"I'm telling you everything I know, dad." Kim said, remembering what Ron had taught her about not letting people get into her head,

"I believe you, Kimmie-cub, you know I do." her father said, smiling,

"I know, dad." Kim said, smiling.


Meanwhile, at Ron's home:

"Are you sure about that, Bonnie?" Ron asked,

"Positive, Ron," replied Bonnie Rockwaller, looking at Ron from the other side of the desk, she had been waiting in Ron's private study for the last half hour to give her report, "he stopped at a store in Chinatown, and vanished, I think he's got some of what you've been drinking."

"If he clouded your mind, I should be able to find out." Ron said, placing his hands on either side of Bonnie's head, attempting to lift the block on her mind,

"Well?" Bonnie asked,

"Got it," Ron said, smiling, "Lee Chen's Chinese Grocery Store, I know where that's at, it's on Chinatown Rd." Ron said looking at Bonnie, and smiling,

"So, what are you gonna do?" Bonnie asked,

"I'm gonna arrange a little meeting with our favorite monkey master." Ron said, smiling,

"You'd better be careful, Ron, you've already got more people that know who you are, than Lamont ever had." Bonnie said,

"I'm well aware of that, Bonnie, and I'm also well equipped to make those people disappear if I need to." Ron said,

"What do you mean by that?" Bonnie asked, looking afraid for her life,

"Not what you're thinking, Bonnie," Ron said, a slight chuckle to his voice, "I don't kill unless I have no choice, and you know that. No, what I would do, is make my enemies think that no one knows who I am."

"That ought to work, unless Fiske has something up his sleeve." Bonnie said,

"I need you to keep a watch on our Lord Fiske, let me know if he even jaywalks, I'm gonna bust him so hard, his grandchildren will feel it." Ron said, his eyes turning that haunting silver, they went back to their normal brown quickly,

"Well, did you find him?" Bonnie asked,

"Yeah, he's checked in at Middleton Lodge, room 311." Ron said,

"On it." Bonnie said, leaving the room,

"Oh, and Bonnie, be careful, the last thing I need right now, is to end up burying one of my agents." Ron said, Bonnie smiled back, and walked out the door.


Later that evening:

Bonnie Rockwaller was walking down Chinatown Rd., looking for Monkey Fist, who had seemed to vanish into thin air again,

'I gotta remember what Ron told me, don't let him get into my head, I gotta fight it.' she told herself, shaking her head, willing herself to see what she otherwise couldn't, it was at that time, that Monkey Fist had appeared in front of her,

"Welcome, Miss Rockwaller, you're about to become bait for Yenko." he said, laughing his simian type laugh.

"Hate to break it to you, monkey boy, I have no idea who you're talking about." Bonnie said,

Monkey Fist appeared to concentrate harder, when he opened his eyes, they looked a blood red,

"You're lying," the monkey master said, "you know very well who The Shadow is, you know who Yenko is, and I'll soon have Lamont Cranston's head on a pike, then, Ron Stoppable will follow."


Uh-oh, Monkey Fist knows how to cloud men's minds as well, this is going to be interesting, stay tuned, as the two monkey masters square off in a fight to the death, it's about to get real interesting.
