I don't own a thing, Disney does. I guess I really pushed the boundaries on the last one, but I think that will be as descriptive I get. Time to add a bit of intrigue, emotion, and mystery to our little tale.

The Things Men Do – Chapter 3

April 8th

Dear Kim,

OH MY GOD! I mean, they tell you your first time can be awful. I mean, with what Tara told me about her first time with Jason, I was expecting the worst. But Brick… he was just so patient and sweet. I mean, it hurt a bit, but no where near as bad as I thought it would be. He made sure I was all right every step of the way… if I had known it could be like that, I would have done it long ago!

The big lout actually made me dinner. He's not the best cook, could definitely take lessons from Ron, but he had candles going and music in the background. He even managed to get some kind of star light machine, like a projector, showing a rotating night sky above us while we ate. It was soooo romantic!

Anyways, when I woke up in Brick's arms, it just felt so right, you know? I mean, he puts on such a tough front at school, but inside, he's such a big teddy bear! I can't believe just how much I love him!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So we can catch the person responsible for this?"

Bonnie just nodded, as she and Tara quickly left the living room. "Yeah. Come on, let's give them what we know."

Detective Thomas was waiting for them in the hallway, his face grim. "Find anything useful?"

Bonnie smiled just a bit. "Nothing on the person responsible, but we do know where the killer will strike next."

Thomas looked at the pair skeptically. "How'd you find that out?"

Bonnie just smirked. "Call it a trade secret. We're going to scout things out briefly, and then get in touch with you to coordinate how we're taking this guy down."

Thomas didn't look happy, but he nodded. "You make sure you call us. You may be GJ, but this is still my town."

"Oh, and don't forget to make sure the man's wife is under suicide watch."

"Already notified of that. She's at the hospital now, under watch. Nothing to worry about there."

Bonnie shook the man's hand, smiling. "Thanks for your help."

Bonnie and Tara headed for the car, and found a very upset looking Will Du standing by the driver's side door. "I am a highly trained operative. Taking statements is beneath my abilities."

Tara just walked right up to him, staring him in the eyes. "What did we tell you earlier? She's in charge, and you shut your mouth unless you have something to contribute. Now, do you?"

"I will not allow a civilian to talk to me in…"

"Excuse me? I said shut it!"

"I…"

Tara crossed her arms over her chest. "Do you want me to get the handcuffs?"

Will's hands flexed involuntarily, as he stared intently at the blond haired girl. Finally, muttering to himself and grumbling under his breath, he pulled the door open quickly and got in, slamming it shut behind him.

Bonnie had to restrain her laughter. "Tara, that was just awesome!"

Tara placed a hand over her chest and sighed. "I've always wanted to do that to someone!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black eyes carefully watched as the two teens got back into their car and watched them drive off, The dark figure quickly got into a vehicle of it's own, pulling out slowly, and proceeded to follow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You sure it's 74? Why not 72?"

Bonnie just looked out the car window, as they sat parked in front of the house Bonnie had seen in her vision. "The angle is a little off. How I saw it… it's got to be 74."

Will just nodded. "Fine then. Now that your job is done, I will take you back to your vehicle, and I can get on with my assignment."

Bonnie just turned to face him, an almost look of disbelief showing in her expression. "I don't think so! First off, we have a couple days until the killer strikes again. And second, the police will be handling most of it, and we'll be there as well."

Will just frowned at her. "I can handle this situation myself, there is no need for further assistance from either you, or the local constabulary."

Bonnie just shrugged. "All right."

Tara leaned over the seat quickly. "You don't mean that, do you? I mean, if it wasn't for you…"

Bonnie smiled to her friend. "He's the ranking officer, we'll go by his judgment. If you can take us to Beuno Nacho, that's where Tara's car is."

The ride back was somewhat uncomfortable, as Tara sat in the back sulking, arms crossed over her chest. Bonnie seemed to be in a fairly good mood, and that seemed strange, even to Will, who kept glancing her way the entire ride expecting her to argue with his decision. When they arrived without any further complaints, Will seemed relieved.

"I do thank you for your assistance with my investigation. While we got off to a rocky start, I hope how this mission ended means we might be able to work together more amicably in the future."

Bonnie just grinned as she got out of the car. "I think I would like that!"

Bonnie and Tara stood there for a few moments, and as soon as he was out of sight, Tara slapped her friend in the arm. "What the hell was that about?"

Bonnie just smiled and pulled out her cell phone. "Watch and learn. Hello, Middleton PD? I need you to connect me with Detective Thomas… Agent Rockwaller of Global Justice… Thank you!" Tara sat down on the curb, obviously confused, as Bonnie waited on the phone. "Detective Thomas? Hello, this is Bonnie Rockwaller, we spoke at the crime scene… yes, we have a location for you… ready? 74 Sycamore Street… no, thank you! I'm just glad our two departments can work together on this. We'll meet you there tomorrow… Oh, one more thing. We are having a problem with one of our agents, gung-ho type. Feels he could score some points by bringing this guy in solo… yeah, that type. Anyways, think you can keep him out of the area when we lay the trap?… You can. Thanks!"

Tara sat there on the curb, a stunned look on her face, before she broke out into full-blown laughter. "Oh my God… you just totally screwed the guy over there!"

Bonnie was laughing now as well. "Well, the guy wasn't responding well to threats or yelling. This way, he's out of our hair, no muss, no fuss!"

Tara rose to her feet, still chuckling. "You are an evil genius Bonnie!"

"Only when I want to be." Bonnie glanced at her watch and frowned. "Ouch, we completely forgot about getting Ron his food. I hope he won't be mad."

Tara just grabbed her friend by the arm. "Nahh… he'll be fine. Let's get him a grande sized order, and he'll forget we were ever late."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dark figure watched the two teens as they entered the restaurant, paying particular attention to the blond haired girl. Satisfied, the figure drove off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I was wondering if you had gotten lost?"

Bonnie grinned as she and Tara entered Kim's room at the hospital. "Nah, got called in by Global Justice to handle a case for them."

Ron grinned. "Let me guess… tube outside Beuno Nacho?"

Tara smirked as she handed Ron the bag of food. "Yeah, they didn't exactly give us much warning on that. I got pulled down with her. How are you doing today Kim?"

Bonnie winced inwardly as her friend casually sat down and started talking to Kim. Ron was a fond believer that those in a coma could hear, even just a little, what was being said to them. Tara, Josh, Felix, even Brick, all of them took part in that. She couldn't though, not when she knew the chances that Kim could hear anything were almost insignificant. But it helped Ron, and that was all that really mattered.

Bonnie sat down away from the bed and watched as Ron hungrily downed his food. It was obvious he was famished, but Ron, in his logic, would not have left her side to get something to eat, not until he was kicked out of there at the end of visiting hours. For Ron, thanks to Dr. Possible, that was still a few hours away. "Yeah, it's a serial murder case. They hadn't found anything in the way of evidence, so Global Justice recruited me to find something."

Ron paused in his eating to stare wide-eyed at her. "You mean… they know?"

Bonnie leaned forward, placing her arms on her legs, looking upward at Ron. "Yeah, they do. Doctor Director told me Sensei told them. Then, they started spying on my medical records that Dr. Possible had put together."

Ron rose to his feet, anger evident. "They can't do that, it's not right! I'm gonna get Wade to patch me through to them, and I'll give them a piece of my mind!"

Bonnie rose quickly, placing a hand over Ron's Kimmunicator before he could activate it. "Don't worry about it Ron, it's already done. Besides, they know that if I find out they've been snooping further, they'll have to deal with me!"

Ron could see the sincerity in her face as she spoke. "Are you sure? I mean, I'm sure I could walk down there and kick some major GJ booty if you want me to."

Bonnie just snickered. "I'm sure you could, but let's save that as a last resort. Besides, they did need me for this. Otherwise, people would have died."

Ron grimaced at that. "You going to need any backup on this?"

"Tara's got my back, as well as half the police force. I should be fine for now. If I need you though, I know you'll be there."

Ron watched her sit back down, rubbing her eyes briefly. "It was bad, wasn't it?"

Bonnie sighed. "Yeah… it was bad. We can handle it though."

Ron's trademark grin came shining through. "Of that I have no doubt. What villain would dare challenge the might of you two bootylicious babes when you have your minds set on something?"

Bonnie smiled as well at that. "And on that note, we should probably get going. Don't want to take up too much of your Kim night with shop talk."

"See you guys tomorrow?"

Bonnie paused at the door. "We have to meet with the police in the morning, but we should be able to get together for lunch no problem. Tara, you coming?"

Tara rose and quickly made her way to the door. Later Ron! See ya Kim!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tara parked the car in front of Bonnie's house and paused a moment to look at the darkened windows. "Folks out again?"

Bonnie just nodded. "Yeah, they are, but I think they needed a little alone time. Since my Mom found out after the first Monkey Fist incident, she's been doing the mothering thing non-stop. I could use the break myself."

"Want me to stick around tonight? I'm sure my folks won't mind."

Bonnie was about to respond when a dark figure slowly approached the car. She was getting ready to slam the car door into the person when he stepped into the streetlight. She sighed in relief as she saw Brick, a single rose in hand and a look of concern on his face. "I think my plans just got made for me."

Tara grinned conspiratorially. "Yeah, I think that just became obvious."

Bonnie playfully slapped her on the arm. "I'll pick you up tomorrow for the meeting with the police. You going to be all right… with everything that happened tonight?"

Tara's grin faded a bit. "Probably won't sleep a wink tonight, but I'll be fine. Now get out there, your man is waiting for you!"

Bonnie hopped out of the car, giving a final wave to Tara, who promptly sped off. Bonnie took the few steps to her waiting boyfriend, and threw herself into his arms. "What on earth are you doing here?"

Brick quickly presented her with the rose, and took her free hand in his, bringing it to his lips and kissing each finger lightly. "Ron gave me a call, said you weren't feeling too good. He said since the Ronshine wasn't working too good tonight, it was time to bring out the heavy artillery."

Bonnie traced a finger along his jaw line, smiling brightly. "Well, he was right. I had a very rough day, and I am very much looking forward to spending time alone with my man!"

Brick looked back towards the dark house, a mischievous grin lighting up his face. "I didn't know your folks weren't home tonight though. Think they'd mind if I came in?"

Bonnie slapped him playfully in the chest. "Is that all you ever think about?"

Brick just continued grinning. "Well… yeah, I guess."

Bonnie leaned in to kiss him lightly on the lips. "Then you are in luck, because that is what is on my mind right now as well. We better run up there as fast as we can though."

Brick looked at her curiously. "Why would we need to run?"

The returning grin was both seductive and playful. "Because you know how I like it when you glisten!"

Brick smile broadened, and grabbing her hand, the two dashed quickly into the house, almost forgetting to shut the door behind them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dark and sinister figure smiled. From a large branch, the figure could make out the movement of two bodies joined in love, even through the darkness. The grin on the figure's face widened perceptibly.

Perfect!
