Inside the House and Heading to the Possible's

After Fiske and Zoey leave the house, Kim and Ron are holding each other, clearly shaken by what they had heard. Monkey Fist having a brother and the brother wants answers. They can then only hope that Fiske doesn't learn about what had happened over there that day. Yet they can't help but feel that he should be given some kind of reasonable explanation as to what had happened that day.

Kim, still shaken, feels Ron's arms loosening around her and looks up into his face. He then smiles and says, "Let's take the triplets to your house and go to Command Center, KP. Can't keep the Baron waiting."

Kim, puzzled, asks, "Doesn't he feel like hundreds of miles worth of bad road, Ron? Because he sure seems like it to me."

Ron shrugs and replies, "At the moment, it seems inconclusive. He seems nice enough, perhaps even nicer than his brother was. Then again, so did his brother. And you know how well that turned out."

Kim can only smile and nod, recalling their first encounter with Ron's late arch-foe. He had hired them to recover a mystical idol from a temple, only to steal it from the camp later in the night. Dressed as a ninja, no less. It was during Kim's time with her cousin, Larry, that she learned that Lord Monty Fiske was not as wholesome as he seemed. As a result, Ron leaped into the path of the idols and received mystical monkey power.

This peaks Kim's curiosity and she asks, "Do you still have the mystical monkey power, Ron?"

Ron, puzzled, scratches his head and replies, "I'm not really sure off-hand, KP. Only way to find out and that is to go to Command Center." Kim nods in agreement and the couple then proceed to gather the triplets and carry them out to their Expedition.

He helps her strap them down, catching a glimpse of the rental car sitting across the street from their house. He nudges her, signaling that they are being watched. She nods in reply and pecks him on the cheek. She then gets into the vehicle while he goes to his pickup and gets in, being careful to not blow his identity.

They start the vehicles and proceed to drive to the Possible residence. Upon arrival, they see the rental car right with them. They find it to be a problem until Ron figures out a solution. One stays at the house while the other goes somewhere other than Command Center. Kim grins with the genius of the idea and nods in agreement.

When they get inside, she then asks, "Dad, can we go to the Space Center today? Just you and me. Ron can stay with the triplets, Mom and the tweebs."

Dr. James Possible nods and says, "Sure thing, Kimmie-cub. In any case, Frederick is coming back home today. In fact, his shuttle should be landing in the next fifteen minutes." Kim and Ron's faces light up in glee, for they haven't seen their simian friend ever since they went into outer space.

Ron then asks, "Any chance Frederick can swing by here so he can see the triplets and we can catch up?"

James grins and says, "You got it, Ronald." At that, he and Kim leave the house, Ron casually looking out the window. As James' car leaves, he notices the rental car sitting right outside before it takes off. He starts to smile when he catches a glimpse of Baron Gregory Fiske right outside. He then groans when he sees Fiske take a seat right on the front porch.

Dr. Amanda Possible hears this and asks, "Ron, what's wrong?"

Ron replies, "Relative of my arch-foe is sitting right outside on the front porch right now. My late arch-foe that is."

"You mean Monkey Fist? He had family?"

Ron nods and says, "That's another reason Kim and I came here. We figured that if one of us was to stay here, and the other leave, then the both of them would follow the other. But it looks like they saw right through it."

Amanda grins and says, "I know of a way that may help. Remember the night you were hurt, Ron? Kimmie asked us to bring your scooter home and modify it to suit your needs. Of course, she never got around to asking us how the retrofit was going. It was around the time that we first met Street Hawk." She then gives him a good long look and shakes her head, chuckling.

He asks, "What's so funny, Mrs. Dr. P.? Asparagus coming out of my nose?"

This causes her to laugh out loud, saying, "No Ron, nothing like that. Just finding it to be a strange coincidence that Street Hawk showed up after you were hurt. Like about two weeks after."

Ron chuckles as well, humoring her. He then says, "Like a clumsy guy like me, with no knee, could even ride a motorcycle like that. I'd be leaking in my pants if it even reached forty miles per hour." Amanda slightly giggles at Ron's obliqueness. She then recalls that Ron would go any distance to keep her daughter safe. Even possibly conning a surgeon to operate on him.

She asks, "Nana, could you watch the boys and the triplets? Ron and I are going to see an old friend of mine in Upperton."

Nana nods and says, "You go right ahead, dearies. It'll give me a good chance to get to know the littlest ones. While watching the twins as well."

Amanda and Ron nod, Ron nodding nervously, as they head out the door to Ron's pickup.
