Mankey's Meeting and Ron's Surgery
Josh Mankey is steamed at the failure of Motor Ed and Adrena Lynn to kill his romantic rival. He slams his fist on the table and yells, "How can you fail like that? She was supposed to come to me for comforting when the loser died. But, no, somehow, he survived even though you ran him down. His knee, no less! Oh well, at least he won't be able to watch her back on missions anymore. That will be my job. If we start getting close to you, I'll let you know so you would have time to clear out."
Motor Ed asks, "What about Red? Won't she get suspicious after time?"
Josh replies, "No, she won't suspect because she is as clueless as the loser she is with right now."
At the school, Kim, Bonnie, Ron and Norman read the printout that deciphered Josh's words. "Josh was the one that blew the mission and almost got me killed!" Ron angrily growled. He then turns around and nods at Norman, letting him know he's in. He then turns back and says, "I'll see you at Bueno Nacho later, KP. Got something to take care of."
Kim says, "Okay, Ron. Be careful." She gives him a peck on his cheek and watches him walk away with the same man that was in the gym. She then turns around and sees Bonnie with a proud smile on her face. She then asks, "What's going on, Bonnie? Normally, you smile like a barracuda."
Bonnie asks, "Says who?"
Kim replies, "Ron. And he's right. Most of the time, when you smile, you look like a barracuda. A psychotic barracuda at that." To her surprise, Bonnie starts laughing and soon Kim joins in the laugh-fest.
Bonnie calms herself down enough to say, "I've noticed that lately, but no one's had the guts to say that to me before. That is why you and Ron are the ultimate coupling. You share each other's spirit, balance each other out."
Kim then decides to show Bonnie pictures of the times she and Ron had together and even tells her times when he saved her life in the past.
Ron and Norman arrive at the Federal Hospital in Upperton, Colorado for the operation. As he lies on the gurney, letting the drugs course through his system, Ron asks, "Do you think I'll be able to make it to Bueno Nacho today, Norman? I could really go for a Naco right about now."
Norman replies, "It depends on how long it takes for the operation and also for you to come out of it. But, if you won't be on time, I'll tell Kim that you're running behind and will make it up to her."
Ron nods in agreement and starts getting drowsy. Soon, he is out like a light and the doctors wheel him into surgery.
The Doctors open the surgery site and cut his knee apart, keeping an eye out for bone shrapnel. Once the removal of the destroyed knee is complete, they clean and prep the good bone remaining. Once done, they start putting the prosthesis into place, adjusting and screwing where they have to. They then connect the muscle tissues to the prosthesis via the connetion ducts.
A Doctor then lifts the leg gently to ensure the prosthesis works. Satisfied with the work, they close the operation site and clean as they go along. When they are done, the only marking on Ron's leg is when he was in the Hospital after the incident.
Norman smiles in approval and says, "Worry not, my young friend. After we get your legs built back up, you'll be ready to ride and keep protecting Kim." He then walks out of the Hospital room and makes his way to Bueno Nacho. Once he's there, he sees Kim and Bonnie looking worried.
He then walks over to Bonnie and whispers, "It's done. Next phase is his rehab. That'll be your end, Bonnie." Bonnie nods and excuses herself.
Norman then takes a seat in front of Kim and says, "Ron told me to tell you he's going to be a little behind today. It ran a little longer than he thought. But he will be in school tomorrow, though. Don't worry about that."
Kim says, "That explains quite a bit. But what concerns me is that thing you just did with Bonnie. What's going on?"
Norman replies, "Sorry, I can't tell you. Not just yet, anyways. And it's Ron's decision for after the first."
Kim asks, "First what?"
Norman replies, "In due time, Miss Possible. But, please. Don't be angry with Ron if he seems mysterious. It's for your own protection." At that, he gets up and walks away.
Kim says, "That's a little too strange for me." At that, she pulls out her spare Kimmunicator, as she had let Ron keep her other one, and says, "Wade, I need a location on Ron, pronto. There is something strange going on here."
Wade types, frowns and replies, "That's strange. His chip is inactive and the Ronnunicator is off as well. Almost like it's being jammed."
Kim then says, "Do you still have observation on Bueno Nacho?" When Wade nods, she goes on. "Okay, get the footage and pipe it onto my monitor, please."
When she sees Norman, she says, "Freeze it right there, Wade. Get me the information on that man, if you please."
Wade replies, "I'll get right on it." At that, the Kimminucator screen goes blank and Kim heads for home, wondering about the day and it's weirdness.
