Chapter 3
"You…you saved me", Drakken said without thanking her, "We will never speak of this again."
"Your welcome", said Kim sarcastically to her ungrateful foe.
Kim took off her broken jet pack and dropped it to the ground. She reached in her large pocket for her kimmunicator but the pocket was empty. She checked her other pocket and it was empty as well. Scanning the ground next to her turned up nothing as well. Then Kim looked behind her to see a horrific sight. About 30 feet away, two mountain lions were munching on the remains of two dead hikers. Next to the awful scene laid her kimmunicator, broken to bits. The mountain lions perked their heads up and looked at Kim and Drakken.
"Let's get out of here!", said Kim. She grasped onto Drakken's arm and they leapt back into the river, floating father downstream. The mountain lions rushed to the bank of the river, but didn't bother going in the water after their prey. Once Kim and Drakken were far enough downstream they swam back to shore.
After catching his breath once more, Drakken pulled his cell phone out of his pocket to call Shego. When he opened it up he saw it was dead. He hit it a few times, then threw it to the ground in frustration.
"Stupid cellphone! Why didn't they make it waterproof?", he ranted with a frown, "I guess you'll call your buffoon sidekick now to come rescue us and arrest me."
"Sorry. No can do. My kimmunicator fell out of my pocket while we were skydiving, and it was destroyed from the fall", said Kim.
"You mean we're stuck here? You and me?", said Drakken with a look of horror on his face.
"Looks like it", said Kim.
"Oh cruel fate!", whined Drakken, "Stuck on a mountain with my arch foe! With the one person I hate most in this world!"
"Hey. I just saved your life", said Kim, annoyed.
"Oh, um, yes, well… I told you never to speak of that again. Now I must think of a plan to get out of here…", said Drakken, and he began pacing.
Kim sighed and sat down on a large rock. She watched Drakken pace back and forth, as he tried to think a "brilliant" plan to get out of his predicament. They had to be at least 50 miles from the research lab, and at least 100 miles from the nearest town. It would take days to hike such a distance, possibly weeks with all of the steep mountain climbs taken into consideration.
"I've got it!" said Drakken, "If I can make a fire, perhaps someone will see the smoke and come to rescue us."
"Sounds like a decent plan to me", said Kim, "Let's gather some wood in a pile. Maybe my laser lipstick will be able to ignite it."
