Calling out your name, your face is everywhere
I'm reaching out to you to find that you're not there
I wake up every night, you see what state I'm in?
It's like an endless fight I never seem to win
I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Kim looked at the clock. It was four in the morning. She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep all night. But why was she surprised? She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep for the past four years, so why was this any different? Kim got up and turned on her computer. She hooked up the Kimmunicator to the computer and tried to get a hold of Wade.
"Kim, do you have any idea what time it is?" Wade said, sleepily.
"Yes. And I can't sleep," Kim said.
"And that's news? Why wake me up too?"
"'Cause you're the only one I know who's up right now."
"Only because you woke me up!"
"However true that is, I need someone to talk to. Feel like listening to me?"
"Not particularly. I want to get some sleep," Wade replied, yawning.
"Well, too bad. I want to know how Ron is doing. Have you heard from him at all?" Wade didn't know what to say. Ron had told him not to tell Kim about what was going on with his life. And now Kim was asking him. Ron had also told him not to tell Kim that they had stayed in contact.
"No," he lied. "I haven't heard from Ron. Sorry. Now can I get some sleep?"
"Can't you find out? I mean, you're a genius and all…"
"No. That's snooping into people's personal business. I don't do that."
"Yes you do!"
"Not with my friends, ok?" Wade said, nearly yelling at her. He was getting a little aggravated with Kim. But then Kim was going through a hard time and he needed to be there for her. But why couldn't Ron be there for her? They'd been best friends…then he remembered the reason why.
Where are you now? What have you found?
Where is your heart? When I'm not around…
Where are you now? You gotta let me know
Oh, baby, so I can let you go
"Kim, do me a favor. Just get some sleep. And we'll talk in the morning. Ok?"
"Are you mad at me?"
"No," Wade sighed. "I'm just tired, grumpy, and a little aggravated. But no, Kim, I couldn't be mad at you for long. You'd kick my butt in any kind of argument with the gadgets I've given you."
"True. Goodnight Wade," Kim said and shut off the computer.
I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me, but yet so far away
I should let it out to save what's left of me
I closed the doors of doubt without my dignity
I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Where are you now? What have you found?
Where is your heart when I'm not around?
Where are you now? You gotta let me know…
Oh, baby, so I can let you go
She looked at her bed and told herself to get in it. But she just couldn't. So, Kim went downstairs to get a drink of water. She was careful to sneak downstairs, not wanting to wake up anyone. Especially Jim and Tim, her twin brothers. She knew that if she woke them up, they'd be grumpy in the morning. And that would be more torture than having them in a good mood. Kim opened the freezer and got two ice cubes out. Then she put them in a cup and filled that up with water. She picked up the cup but before she could drink out of it, someone grabbed her mouth and the person's assistant tied up her hands. The glass slipped from her hands and fell to the ground, the glass breaking into a four pieces.
"Don't scream, now, Kimberly. We're not going to hurt you," the person said. Then he laughed an evil laugh. "Yeah right!" He turned Kim around and she immediately recognized the man behind the mask. Drakken! And Shego was right next to him! They took her to their 'airplane' if you can call it that and tied her up in it. They put a gag on her and started off toward his new lair of doom.
"You see, Kimberly, we need you on this mission of ours. Your brain and strength we need. So, we're going to transfer your strength and brain…"
"Dr. D, you know what happens when you tell them the plans. We fail," Shego said, pointing her index finger at him. "Basically what we need is what you have, Kim. And by the way, Dr. D, there's no way that that stupid sidekick of hers will come after her. As far as I know, the Possible-Stoppable team is over." That last word Shego emphasized, looking directly at Kim. Kim's eyes filled up with tears. She hated the fact that her best friend couldn't be there to rescue her. Or the fact that he wasn't there at all!
