Chapter 12: Into the Command Center
David woke up with his head pounding. He felt like he had been hit with a pound of cement or you know a lamp. He looked over just to be sure that she was gone. Yep definitely gone. He saw the lamp that she hit him with. It was broken.
"That girl has some muscle." He muttered.
He looked around to see if she had taken anything. Nothing that he could see was taken. What he did see was Kim's watch and a picture of her baby. Wait a second, that watch it was it looked familiar. He thought for a second. That's it! That was the thing Kim used to -what did she call it, oh yeah- teleport. He grabbed it and looked at all the buttons. He wasn't sure which one would teleport him. He pushed one button and heard a little mechanical voice,
"This is Alpha. Go ahead."
"Uh." Then David heard a big booming voice.
"Kimberly is that you?" Trying to shut it off David pushed the next button. To his amazment he saw white lights around him and he felt tingly, then he fell on his butt.
"What happened? Was that teleporting? Why didn't it work. I probably need to be a stupid ranger or a former ranger or just have ranger blood in you. That's it!" David walked over to the picture of Kim's baby. He turned it over and saw the word Olivia written on it. He wasn't quite sure where to find her, yet.
Kim was rocking Olivia back and forth. She was so glad she was out of her house. She was even gladder that she had Olivia back. Tommy still hadn't found a house yet so she was still living at the Command Center. While she was gone Alpha and Zordon had put a crib for Olivia in the room and made the place a little more cheery and friendly, a little more Kim like. Tommy, Kim, and Olivia went out to the main room. When Alpha saw Kim he hobbled over to Kim and Olivia to give them a hug.
"Kim good to see you." Alpha squeaked.
"Kimberly, I have a question to ask you. Did you try to contact us on your communicator earlier?" Zordon asked.
"No, I haven't tried to contact you at all." Kim said confused. Tommy looked down at Kim's left hand.
"Kimmy where is your communicator?" Tommy wondered.
"I took it off when I got to my house, before I was knocked out." Kim trailed off. "Oh no! I left it at my house and David probably has it now."
"Don't worry Kim, no one but someone of Power Ranger blood can teleport."
They didn't realize that Olivia was of Ranger blood.
David was trying to figure out how to get Olivia. He wasn't sure where Kim was staying. He didn't know where Tommy lived. Then in hit him. If he could talk on this communicator thingy, maybe he could listen in too. He got it out of his pocket and pushed one of the buttons. He heard Tommy and Kim talking.
"Yes!" David whispered. He listened in on their conversation.
"Some how we have to get your communicator back. Alpha and Zordon are trying to track it now, but I don't think this is a good place for Olivia to stay, with all the noise and commotion. How 'bout we take her to my Mom's again. She really loves watching Olivia." This was Tommy talking.
"I guess." Kim said hesitantly not wanting to give her baby up again.
"I will teleport their and then teleport backto help you." With this David guessed he teleported off.
David had his plan. He would wait a hour or two, then go to the Oliver's house and say that he was a friend of Kimberly's and that she wanted him to pick up Olivia and he was going to go meet them later. He went to find a phone book and look up the Oliver's address. He found it and wrote down on a piece of paper, then stuck it in his pocket next to the communicator. He waited for two hour then went to the Oliver's house. When he got their he was terribly nervous. He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Tommy's mom answered the door.
"Hi are you Mrs. Oliver?"
"Yes I am."
"That's good. See I'm a friend of Kimberly's from Florida. I came to visit her and to see the baby. She said that Olivia was here, so I volunteered to go get her. She gave my the address of your house and the address of the restaurant we are going to meet at. So I was wondering if I could take Olivia?"
"I guess let me go get her." Mrs. Oliver walked off and came back with Olivia. She handed her to David who thanked her and went to his car. Mrs. Oliver wan't quite sure if this was the right thing to do. She watched David drive off then started to cry.
What do ya think?
