A/n: I realize this chapter was sucked majorly and I have been meaning to rewrite it for a while, and now here it is… the new version of this chapter… hope you like it.
Tommy knew instantly that something wasn't right Kira was never late. He cursed under his breath, Kimberly needed him, but then Kira had disappeared as well.
"Oh, this is just great" Ethan said
"What is it?" Trent asked
"Kira isn't answering her cell phone" Ethan sighed
"She might have turned it off" Conner suggested
"She's not that stupid, Conner" Tommy said, "She wouldn't turn her cell phone off!"
"Good point Dr. O" Ethan said and tried the communicator, she didn't answer that either.
"She isn't answering" Ethan exclaimed
"Then we have a serious problem on our hands." Hayley said not knowing exactly how right she was.
"Let's go" Tommy said
"I'll stay here," Kimberly said
"No" Tommy said solemnly "you aren't staying by yourself, not in your condition"
"Whoa, I'd say he's worried about her" Ethan whispered to the others
"Would you expect anything less, he's in love with her," Hayley said
"Are you telling me she was his girlfriend?" Ethan asked
"Yes, Ethan, they dated through high school" Hayley replied
They all left and went into the command center Tommy was keeping silent. Hayley scanned for Kira and quickly found her.
"Whoa, that's a bad neighborhood, I have no idea what she'd be doing there" Hayley said
"Me either, I don't like it" Tommy replied, "Is there anyone else there?"
"Yes... why?" Hayley asked and then realized what Tommy was getting at, and the idea gave her an unsettled feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Oh, I understand" she brought the picture up of Kira, and then Bradley came into view. Kimberly winced visibly, then turned her back so that she couldn't see the computer screen.
"Kim, are you okay?" Tommy asked gently and turned to try and take care of her.
"That's him" Kimberly managed "that's the guy that hurt me"
Tommy hugged her close as she began to cry again. He began to try and comfort her, his old nickname for her coming out in front of the others. None of the guys thought his calling her "beautiful" was too off, it seemed to help soothe her, and everyone kept their mouths shut.
"What are we going to do?" Hayley asked
"I'm going after her..." Tommy said
"No, Tommy, you aren't going anywhere, you're needed here" Hayley said with an authoritative tone that reminded Tommy of Zordon in many ways.
They looked around and suddenly realized that Trent was no longer among them.
"Where is Trent?" Kimberly asked
Hayley did some checking and realized the white ATV was gone as well
"I think he's going after Kira!" Hayley said
"Oh God, I hope he can handle Bradley" Kim said
"Trent can handle him, don't worry" Tommy said "Trent's cunning and a very skilled fighter"
"Good… sounds like he's the right man for the job"
Kira looked back in surprise as the ropes began to loosen on their own
"Dr. O…"
"I take that as a complement"
"Trent… how…"
"I'll explain later… this guy is insane"
"Yeah, he's hyper jealous of this guy he keeps calling Tommy" Kira said
"Um Kira… 'Tommy' is the nickname Dr. Oliver's friends use for him," Trent said
"Yeah I know that, but… you don't think he's talking Dr. Oliver"
"Yeah… Kira this guy wanted Kimberly and she wouldn't quit obsessing over Dr. Oliver… he wasn't a doctor back then though… either way he created a fake breakup letter to get Dr. O to quit contacting Kimberly" Trent explained as they began to sneak out "and when that didn't help his cause"
"He attacked her and decided to exact revenge on Dr. O through those he cares about"
"Exactly"
They managed to get out but they weren't safe yet, Bradley had discovered their escape and decided to follow them.
