No, it's not Kimberly, it can't be. She was just in bed with me, not more than an hour ago. Tommy said shaking his head.
Tommy, even if it is Kimberly she has an incredible healing ability from her powers. We won't lose her. Billy said not sure if he was trying to convince Tommy or himself.
Meanwhile Out in the woods
I believe that's for you. Kimberly said as she heard a series of beeps coming from the Green Rangers arm.
Go for Green Ranger.Green Ranger? Since when have we been so formal? The voice on the other end asked.
Since I'm in mixed company. The Green Ranger nearly hissed, turning his back on Kimberly.
Whoa, okay down boy. We need your help kicking some Kelzak butt.On my way. He turned to say something but Kimberly was already gone.
Back at the House
Okay Tommy, don't panic this is Kimberly we're talking about. After what happened at the studio and last night I'm sure she would be on guard, I mean it's not like she would just walk up to a stranger... Jason started.
That's it! Billy practically screamed out.
Tommy yelled.
In the mornings after the battle Kimberly would always go for walks in the woods on Altar.Billy get to the point.Well if she has not been able to reach her Altarian form since then. It would be conceivable that her old behavioral patterns would resume since last night she was able to achieve a level of control that she has not had, it is probable that she would resume a habit such as taking a walk even if it is just subconscious.Do you come with subtitles? Rocky asked trying to lighten the mood.
Billy I don't know maybe some of us should go to the hospital. While the others look around for her. Adam finally spoke up
Back outside
Another set a beeps filled the silence, this time Kimberly was able to recognize them.
I read you Alpha.Kimberly you must get back to your house now.Alpha what's going on? You never contact me unless... Oh no! Kimberly broke into a straight run.
Kimberly's heart was beating so hard she thought it was going to burst through her chest. Millions of thoughts running through her mind, but one thought kept screaming the loudest in her head and that was just to run.
Kimberly saw the front of her house and she moved even faster.
Almost there.' Kimberly's mind screamed.
She had just reached the door when it swung open violently. Both Kimberly and Tommy just stood there for a moment staring at each other. Until Tommy reached out and grabbed her. He was holding her close to his chest, as he pulled her into the house.
I found her! Rocky called out.
Tommy I still need my internal organs. Kimberly wheezed out.
Tommy pushed Kimberly away from him but kept his hands firmly on her shoulders. While he looked at her up and down.
Are you okay? Where were you? Are you hurt? You feel anything out of normal or weird ? Tommy practically said all in one breathe
Yeah, a weird sensation... like I'm in the room with a total fruitcake! Kimberly said as she pushed Tommy's hands off her shoulders.
You two I'm going to kill. She said as she started to make her way to Billy and Adam.
Jason said letting his voice drop.
What's wrong?Maybe you should see for yourself. Rocky took Kimberly's hand and pulled her towards the television.
With a soft click the television came on. If it wasn't for the fact that the room was now filling up with all the rangers that were in town Kimberly would have collapsed to the ground, but there wasn't enough room to breathe let only collapse.
Kimberly maybe you should sit down. Tommy said as he gentle pulled her towards her couch.
No. We need to get to the hospital. Kimberly stated flatly.
I said no. Now either you're coming with me or staying behind. None of you can say or do anything to stop me.Your right Kimberly. But we need a plan, we can't just go in there like rangers. The press probably has the whole place surrounded. Andros said coming to stand in front of Kimberly.
Plus we need to let Raymond know that it isn't you in there fighting for your life. Tommy said putting his arm protectively around Kimberly's shoulders.
Okay, fine your right. Adam, Billy you two go talk to everyone who needs to know what's going on and only those who absolutely need to. Rocky, Aisha, Zack, hang close to the reports find out what they know, try to talk to the police too, but keep it all low key. Zhane, Andros I'm sure you two know what to do.
The two men shook their heads and were gone in a flash of red and silver lights. Leaving the rest of the rangers confused but before for anyone could vocalize their confusion, Kimberly turned to the rest of the space rangers.
You guys if you're up to I could use a small distraction till I can get into the hospital.What about Jason and I Tommy asked after the space rangers nodded in agreement with Kimberly's plan.
You two are going in with me. I need you two to cover my back while I sneak in.
And with that the rangers were on their way to the local hospital. Kimberly took a deep breath as she saw the hospital from the alley way she was hiding in.
Okay the space rangers are in place. Jason said
I still don't understand how no one remembers them. They revealed themselves in their final battle it was all over the news, it's almost like... Tommy started.
Like what? Jason asked not understanding way Tommy had just trailed off.
Like magic. Tommy said eyeing Kimberly.
Kimberly asked innocently as she batted her eye lashes.
We will be talking about that later. Tommy said firmly but his eyes held a gentleness that only Kimberly saw.
Why do I have a feeling that you'll be saying that for years to come... Okay the reports are distracted let's go.
The three ran to the back door of the hospital.
Great it's locked and you need a id card to unlock it. Jason said as he tried the handle, though he knew it wouldn't open.
I wouldn't have said this door if I couldn't get us in. Kimberly said as she stepped up and waved her hand over the digital lock once.
The light went from red to green and the door opened slightly as it unlocked. Kimberly pulled the door open and looked at the two men standing behind her.
I know, I know. We'll be talking about this later. Kimberly said as she ushered the guys in.
The door shut silently behind them, encasing them in complete darkness.
How about some light? Tommy asked.
Jason was about to make a smart ass comment about pulling a flash light from a certain ex-leaders butt. When Kimberly produced a small ball of light like she had done the night before.
Show us the door. She whispered to the ball floating in her hands.
The ball started to float away from her at a slow pace. The three followed it silently... well almost silently.
OW! Shit, Kim I'm glad you can do that and all but you think you could make it brighter? Jason asked as he rubbed his now sore knee.
And do you think you could keep it down? You can come out Kimberly it's only me. Danny said as he flicked on the light.
Kimberly came out from behind a storage cabinet.
Scare the hell out of us why don't you?Well it's better than putting it into you. Danny said walking over to her and pulling her into a tight hug.
I was so scared. I thought we might lose you. Danny whispered in her ear.
You still might if Andros and Zhane fail. She whispered back.
Danny just nodded.
Come on Raymond's here and is worried sick they won't tell anyone anything the girl is still in surgery. Danny said leading the trio out of the room.
Danny asked softly as he came up behind the man that was a father figure to everyone.
Kimberly saw Raymond from the side she had never seen him look so old. She was pulled out of her thoughts by the vibrations coming from her hip.
We can't find Danny or Raymond. The police are on their way up to let him know it isn't you in there plus they have some questions for you. Billy's voice came through the other end.
I think it best if I break the news to him. He won't believe it unless he sees it. Kimberly said and then hung up.
Danny was still talking to Raymond. Jason had gone off to find a nurse and to get coffee, and Tommy was practically glued to Kimberly's side. Kimberly started to walk towards Raymond with Tommy beside her. His hand holding hers tightly, his eyes scanning the room for an threats or reporters. Finally they were behind Raymond. Kimberly wasn't sure how to let Raymond know she was there, but that decision was taken out of her hands by Tommy.
I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to her. Tommy's voice was low as to not draw attention to them.
I know, I'm sure you did your best but... Any other words died as Raymond finish turning around.
He came face to face with the reason he had just aged twenty years in the three seconds it took for him to hear that she was in the hospital. Raymond just stood there in shock as he looked down at the girl that caused so much worry, and happiness in his life.
Maybe you should sit. Danny said noticing that Raymond looked about ready to collapse.
Danny and Kimberly helped Raymond into one of the chairs in the waiting room. Kimberly kneeled in front of him. Raymond placed his hand on her cheek carefully. Once his hand made contact with her skin he pulled it back as if he was just burned. Kimberly pulled him to her and gave him a hug. Whispering that she was okay and that everything was going to be fine. After about twenty minutes of silence, the police finally came in. They found Kimberly resting her head on Raymond's shoulder who was sound asleep from the emotional strain of the days events. Tommy and Jason were standing in front of them softly talking to each other.
Ms. Hart? one officer asked not sure if it was her or not.
Ms. Hart first I would like to say we are glad to see that you are unharmed. We do have several question for you and your bodyguards. If you would like we can ask them here or you could come down to the station a little later today.If you don't mind I'd rather come down to the station later I would like to find out what's going on and be here if anyone needs me.Of course Ms. Hart, but honestly unless you know the victim it really doesn't concern you. The other officer started.
You can just go back to life as normal. I'm sure there is a party or interview you should be getting ready for. He finished.
Kimberly was about to say something but Tommy's hand on her shoulder kept her from blasting him, verbal and maybe psychical out of the room.
Officer with all due respect Kimberly is involved and if that girl is laying in there because of this man then it does concern her.And if it wasn't him? The officer shot back, as he stared down Tommy.
Then I'll still be paying for her hospital bills. No matter what someone did that to her. She deserves to be treated to the best care available.
The one officer just walked off.
I'm sorry he use to work in hollywood and was brought down to work on your case Ms. Hart.Please call me Kimberly.Well he wasn't to happy and isn't use to people in your field being so compassionate. The officer finished and left to follow his partner out.
Excuse me, Mr. Thomas? A elderly nurse with a thick english accent asked.
He's asleep. May I help you? Kimberly asked while she started standing up.
Ms. Hart, I am assuming.
Kimberly just nodded.
It is good to see you safe, my granddaughter is a huge fan. You sent her a lovely bouquet of balloons while she was in here a few months back. Anyway we were able to find ID in the young woman's purse. She looks a lot like you, we found her Cloud 9 work id. Her name is Katharine Hillard. Do you know her? The nurse asked as Kimberly, Tommy and Jason went white from shock.
