Malloy's Story and New Vehicle
That night, Ron treats the Murphys, Team Go, Bernice, Malloy and Kim to an extremely elegant meal.
However, since Robocop can't have solid foods in his organics, he sticks with the usual paste that sustains his systems. Same with Diana. The other's hearts go out to them, making them wish they could enjoy the meal with them.
Ron then snaps his fingers, a wild idea coming to mind. He picks up two plates of the cuisine, puts the contents into a blender and proceeds to make liquid cuisine.
Kim's eyes bulge out as she realizes what he's about to do. She looks over at Robocop and Diana, sees them nodding their heads at the genius of the idea and starts giggling very softly.
"Only Ron would find a way to feed cyborgs and robots with basic digestive tracts. It's too bad Wade can't find or make some way for you guys to be able to enjoy solid foods again."
Diana smiles softly and replies, "Don't worry, Kim. If anything, this might actually help us eat in a way. Thank goodness Marie and Nikko worked on my new body's internal mechanisms. I guess it was their way of thanking me for saving Marie's life."
Malloy nods in approval and says, "To Diana, the first true female cybernetic being. May she continue operating and watching over Alex. And also to Alex. He's one mean guy with a gun. Even if he is a cyborg now, he's still a guy."
The others nod and laugh their agreement. For a slight moment, Malloy could swear he saw a blush on Diana's face. He then remembers the face is a latex mask and just shakes it off.
"Sorry if it offended you, Diana. It's not often I come across a phenomenon like this, you know."
Diana giggles and replies, "None taken, Tim. In fact, it's kind of flattering, knowing you were trying to set me up with Alex just now. But, you don't have to worry about that."
Malloy chuckles and says, "Just looking out for my partner. Right, Alex?"
Robocop nods and replies, "Thank you, Tim. Now, where the devil have you been all these years? The last time I saw you, you were blown out onto the docks and you just vanished."
Malloy grins and replies, "It had to come out sooner or later. After the blast, I found myself underwater. I surfaced under the dock and swam for twenty minutes until I reached the opposite shoreline. Once I hit the shore, I figured it was time for me to mend my soul. At the same time, I wanted to be a Law Enforcement Officer again. But, who would want to hire an escaped convict that used to be a cop? Not a whole lot of departments out there will do that. So, I just settled for vigilante actions on the streets of whatever town I found myself in. One night, as I was doing my unofficial rounds, a hole opened up beneath me. It was then I met someone that would change my life and give me a fresh start."
Curious, Ron asks, "Did this person, by any chance, wear an eyepatch, happen to be a woman and wear a jumpsuit?"
"Yes, Dr. Director. But, how did you know her?"
Kim replies, "We've crossed paths a few times when she needed us to work with Global Justice."
Malloy nods as he goes on. "I accepted the offer and she posted me in Detroit after the city's name was changed back. During the time before I became GJ's Detroit asset, I had surgery to have those knobs removed from my head. Alex, let no one tell you otherwise. Having knobs put into and taken out of your head is painful as heck. I'm lucky I was unconscious at the time of both surgeries. After they removed them, they put medications into me that would counteract the gunk those mad scientists put into me."
He then chuckles and adds, "When I learned OCP was fully shut down, I wanted to go to the building, burn it down and relieve myself on the ashes. I hated it that much. When I heard about Jimmy having been abducted by the BeeBee robot and then rescued, I so wanted to see you guys and offer any help I could. But, the only time I could do that was if the crisis was ongoing. So while you guys were out of town, I was attempting to stem the flow. Then, Sheila comes along and ticks off the Chinese Consulate."
Raising his glass again, he adds, "Here's to Sheila. May she continue to tick off and annoy criminals that work within their Consulates." The others raise their glasses and take a drink while Robocop and Diana try the 'meal smoothie'.
Diana allows it to go all the way past the robot's vox-box before she says, "If I had taste buds, I'm sure it'd be delicious, Ron. I'm happy to have an opportunity to be able to slightly eat again."
Robocop nods and says, "Ditto." Raising the glass, he says, "Here's to Ron. If he's to open a restaurant, he'd have an interesting menu, without a doubt." The others acknowledge it and smile in approval.
After that, dinnertime is spent exchanging stories and eating. When it gets to be bedtime, they wish each other good night and turn in. Diana plugs the robot's body into a power outlet while Robocop goes to his 'rest station'.
Malloy takes another guest bedroom while Bernice turns in from such an exciting and hectic day. The members of Team Go wish their sister and friends a happy life and leave, returning to Go City, electing to see a counselor for Post-Traumatic Stress. Just in case any of them start to have problems. After all, this was the first time they had to resort to using lethal force in defense of others and themselves.
James and Sheila nod and smile at Kim and Ron, wishing they can do more for them, as their wedding had brought the two together in the first place. Sheila then remembers that the Wegos were responsible for the seating and gasps in shock.
"I think my younger twin brothers were trying to play matchmaker at your wedding, guys." She then laughs as she adds, "Your wedding was where James and I first met, and somehow, it brought us all closer together."
Kim grins as she replies, "Yeah, it did, Sheila. Good night, guys."
James nods as he says, "Night Kim, Ron. Give your triplets a kiss for us, okay?"
Ron grins as well as he replies, "You got it, James. Night." At that, they exchange a warm hug before turning in.
Once inside the bedroom, Kim says, "We need a new vehicle, Ron. When the Consul's limo rammed it, it seriously twisted the frame, axle and ruined the body. Of course, the limo looked a lot worse after the impact. It's front end looked like a mule kicked it in."
"You okay, KP? I hope we didn't lose the baby."
"Yeah, I'm okay, Ron. I had the Doctor check me out at the Station. So far, so good. I guess it's because it happened so early in the pregnancy, it didn't seem to do any damage to the fetus. But, I was so scared, Ron! I didn't want to lose the baby! Nor do I want to!" Sobbing, she throws herself into his arms and he strokes her hair.
Ron clears his throat to get rid of the lump in there and says, "When we get back to Middleton, we'll check with Dr. Cotner. He'll be able to tell us for sure, KP. I don't want to lose our new baby either." At that, the young couple hold each other and sob with each other.
In their room, James and Sheila sigh and wish they could help in some way. James had seen the damage to the Expedition along with the Police mechanic and felt it could be repaired. But the mechanic said that with the damage to the frame and all, it wasn't going to be worth repairing.
Snarling at the thought of Ron and Kim losing their unborn child because of the Consul's loony driving style, he then drives his fist toward the wall, only for it to be intercepted.
He looks at the feminine hand that grabbed his fist and then it's owner's face.
Sheila sighs and says, "I know how you feel, Jimmy. When I learned Kimmy and Ron were going to be parents the first time around along with them being engaged, I was so happy for them. I still am. Their love for each other will see them through. There was no way you could have stopped that maniac's limo. At all. Triple-armor plating, beefier engine and stronger suspension. It's a wonder he didn't knock you guys onto your side."
James nods and says, "I wish that jerk was still alive, Sheila. I really do. Just so I could blow his brains out again. If Kim and Ron lose their baby, it'll devastate them." Sheila nods as she holds her husband and feels him shaking in anger still.
At that, both couples turn off the lights and try to sleep. In his 'rest station', Robocop brings up the motor pool list and sees an ideal vehicle to replace the Stoppable's Expedition.
James had informed him of the damage as did the Police mechanic. In short, the vehicle was totaled. Over the wire, he makes the necessary arrangements and signs off with his 'signature'.
The next morning, Kim wakes up with Ron's arm around her abdomen, his fingers splayed out over her belly. Smiling at his sweetness and tenderness, she gingerly lifts his hand off, kisses his cheek and gets up to go to the bathroom, ready for the morning sickness to come.
As she gets to the toilet, she thinks, 'Lord, please don't let us lose this baby. Please, don't. I know it's ultimately your call and I don't fault you for that. Just, please, give us a sign, one way or another.' Suddenly, she vomits.
Smiling at the possibility of the baby being all right as she vomits, she purges her stomach until the daily ritual is done. She then rinses her mouth out and uses some mouthwash to clear the air inside her.
Looking in the mirror, she softly says, "I know it's too soon to tell. But, just in case, thanks. Amen." Coming out of the bathroom, she sees Ron sitting up on the bed, a hopeful smile on his face.
She can only shrug in reply as she goes over to him and pecks him on his lips. She then feels him wrap his arms around her, turn her around and gently pull her onto his lap. She smiles at what he seems to have in mind and gently chides him.
To her surprise, Ron routes one hand toward the back of her neck and the other hand onto her belly. Before she can ask, he starts tickling her.
"Ron, stop! Hahahahahahaha! That tickles! Hahahahahahaha!"
"That's the whole idea, KP. I thought you might need some cheering up." His face goes gloomy as he says, "I hope I didn't go too far." Kim nods in agreement as she slumps her head down, facing her belly.
She then sees him place his hands gently onto her belly and start stroking it. She puts her slender fingers between his and they grasp each other's hands, just like on their honeymoon snorkel.
"Kimmy, Ron! Come on down here! There's something down here with your names on it!" Sheila's voice came through loud and clear to the couple. They then shrug and put on their bed robes before leaving the room.
Once they get downstairs, they see Sheila in her Uniform, her shield proudly showing, and with a gleeful smile on her face.
The couple rubs their eyes to get the sleep completely out to be sure they're not dreaming. They then find they're not. In the driveway is a black and gray Hummer H2 station wagon with their license plates on there.
Sheila explains, "As soon as I got up and got my Uniform on, I went outside and I saw this! Looks like you have a fairy-god-family or something like that. Here's a card for you." Both teens accept the card and read it.
'Kim, Ron. Please accept this Hummer as your new vehicle. It's nearly new and hasn't even had the Police trim put onto it yet. It's my way of thanking you both for all you have done. All of your belongings have already been transferred. Including your "garage door opener". Warm regards, Commander Alex Murphy, Detroit Police Department.'
Ron asks, "What about the Expedition?"
Sheila grins and replies, "Since it was attacked by the Consul, who happened to be part of the Sho-Da-Kah, it's considered to be Evidence of hostile actions. We're charging Juntao with a massive laundry list of crimes. Attempted murder, attempted Capital murder on a Police Officer, conspiracy to commit Capital murder, murder, accomplice to assaulting a woman during a pregnancy, accomplice to attempted kidnapping, conspiracy to attempted kidnapping, reckless driving, speeding, intent to commit land grabbing, conspiracy to commit blockbusting, harassment of private residents, causing a riot situation, namely the war we had yesterday, and a whole other group of counts I can't recall. The D.A.'s filing the charges so fast, Juntao'd be dead before the ink even dries."
She sighs as she adds, "A Judge for the city and one of James' co-executives at the company were found dead this morning. The co-executive had an amputation that I don't even want to think about. He was then shot in the head while the Judge's throat was slit and his thigh had a stab wound in it."
She then grins as she says, "We even have a witness to some of Juntao's actions. Mr. Smuntz, as he's agreed to turn Federal Witness as some of those charges are the Federal type. It's going to take an abacus to figure out how much time that Juntao guy's going to pull, believe you and me."
Her face turns soft as she adds, "I hope your baby makes it, Kimmy. I really do. The world needs more good people to step up and take a stand for what they believe in."
Kim sheds a tear as she replies, "I hope so too, Sheila. I hope so too." Sheila then wraps Kim in a hug, shedding tears as well. For a Mother, losing a child before it's even born is just too painful to even comprehend.
Sheila nods and releases Kim, saying, "You two may want to get some clothes on. Unless you wanna be booked for Indecent Exposure." Both teens bolt back into the house, with Sheila laughing out loud.
She then softly says, "Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist 'shop talk' before I go in for duty." At that, Sheila gets into her Interceptor, with Robocop in the passenger seat already.
He turns his head her way and asks, scoldingly, "Was that really needed, Sheila?"
"No, but it was fun though." At that, both Officers of the DPD laugh and head out for their shift. As they head for the Station, Sheila cruises close to the Police Cemetery. Robocop sees this and nods.
He then says, "Pull in here, please. There's someone I'd like to talk to."
"Sure thing, Commander." Sheila pulls into the Cemetery and follows Robocop's directions. When he tells her to pull to a stop, she does and looks at him with a question in her eyes.
"A pair of old friends of mine are buried here. I wish to speak to one of them." At Sheila's nod, the both of them get out of the Interceptor and Sheila follows the cyborg until they reach a headstone.
"Hello, Anne. It's been a while. I'm a Grandfather now. My daughter-in-law is a Police Officer now. Yes, that's right. Jim got married and they have a daughter. We even have new armor for the Officers. If only you were still with us, Anne. We miss you. Whereas I miss you the most. After all, you realized who I really was under this shell. Cadillac Heights is safe again, thanks to friends of ours, the residents and those of us on the force. Even a Lawyer got in on it and kicked ass."
He kneels down and adds, "I met your brother when you were buried. I still hear from him every now and then. I guess he's making up for lost time. Well, we must go. Somewhere, there's a crime happening." At that, Robocop rises back to his full height and walks back to the Interceptor.
Sheila looks at the headstone and nods.
"Take care, Anne Lewis. Don't worry about Alex. He's in good hands and with friends. Bye." At that, she returns to the Interceptor and grins when she sees Robocop in the driver's seat. Instantly, she realizes he intends to drive to work.
When she gets in, she straps down and asks, "Robo, you okay?"
"I'm fine, Sheila. And call me Murphy."
Sheila smiles as the Interceptor burns rubber out of the Cemetery and back onto the streets of Detroit.
