Chapter 11
Ron looked over at the control panel about 15 feet away.
"That button over there says 'Restraints' on it. I bet if we hit with something we can get out of here", said Ron.
"Behold the Ron in action!", he said as he slid off his wristwatch, and held it in his hand. He only had one shot at this. He threw it and watched it fly through the air, bouncing off the side of the control panel and landing on the ground.
"Noooo…. That was the only thing I could use to throw", said Ron sadly, "We're gonna die!"
"Wait Ron, you just gave me an idea. My laser ring can't reach the restraints while it's on my finger in this position. But I never thought about taking it off my finger and holding it downward in my other hand. It's so obvious, I feel like such an idiot for not thinking of it sooner," said Kim.
Within seconds she was free, and pressed the button to free Ron.
"Alright KP!", shouted Ron happily.
Kim practically jumped into Ron's arms, and gave him a long passionate kiss.
"Sorry I didn't think of that escape plan sooner Ron", said Kim.
"Hey, no big. So should we return that death ray thingie to the government research facility?", asked Ron.
"Yeah…", said Kim. She took out her kimmunicator and updated Wade on the situation. He arranged for transportation for them and the death ray. Soon Kim and Ron were eating grande sized nacos at Bueno Nacho, Drakken's henchmen at his lair had all been arrested, and the death ray was back safely at the government research facility.
"As soon as we're done eating, we should head to Paris to guard the exhibit at the Louvre, they said they're going to. For all we know, it may already be too late to get there in time to stop them," said Kim.
"Wait… priorities first KP," said Ron, "I have to check on Rufus and see how he's doing."
Kim and Ron walked to the nearby vet. As they walked Ron reached out and held Kim's hand.
"I hope Rufus is alright", said Ron, worried.
"Me too," said Kim.
They arrived at the vet's office and walked up to the counter.
"I'm here to see my naked mole rat," said Ron.
"Oh yes, the naked mole rat… he's doing much better. We gave him some medicine for his fever. He's still sick but improving. I think he's well enough to take home now," said the veterinary assistant.
The veterinary assistant, stepped to the back room, and Ron could hear a cage being opened. She stepped back out holding Rufus.
"He might be hungry. He refused to eat any of the rat food we gave him," she said.
"Rufus! Buddy! You're alright!", said Ron with an outstretched hand.
Rufus happily hopped onto Ron's hand and climbed into his pocket.
"I brought you a naco", said Ron, holding up a fast food bag.
Rufus smiled and jumped into the bag saying, "huh huh…Grande Size!"
