Chapter 4

High above the city stood the bright full moon which was sending his brightness down to earth. His image reflected in the little lake that was in front of the residence of the ambassador. Out on the balcony stand Kim looking into space.

"Have I told you that I love you, Kim?" said Ron as he appeared behind her on the balcony.

"Yes you did." she answered and turned around to look into his eyes. "You did it often today."

"I have to catch up so many years that I have to hurry with that now."

Kim looked into his face.

"Why was I so blind?" she asked. "Why was I so blind not to see that the one person I was looking for my whole life was right next to me?"

"Kim, I learned something in those years: We all are humans. We make mistakes! Especially me"

Kim laughed and gave him a very long hug. After this she looked up into his eyes and started to smile. "Promise me something, Ron Stoppable." she said.

"I do everything for you. You know that."

"Promise me to hold me and that you never let me go."

"I will." he said, after he looked into her wide opened eyes which were full of tears.

"Why are you crying Kim?"

"I have a bad feeling for this mission."

Ron looked at her with a blank face. "Why?"

"It's our first mission as a couple. And after all those missions, where I or you were nearly …"

"Stop talking Kim." Ron interrupted her. "We're still alive. Neither Dr. Drakken nor Shego, neither Monky Fist nor Duff Killigan could kill us. Why now?" She looked into his eyes. "Ron, I love you."

"I love you too, Kim."

They both kissed each other with only the smiling moon as their audience…

In the last 24 hours over 500 people disappeared without a trace. Over 90 per cent of them belonged to governmental security instruments or were persons in high political positions. Under the disappeared person belong the Minister of Finance and chairman of the defense council. The chancellor stressed that his government has everything under control. "There is no need to worry or getting nervous. Our secret intelligent service is working under a high pressure to solve the problems and Federal Criminal Investigation Agency is looking for those who are responsible for those disappearances."

The chancellor was in his office in the Federal Chancellery and was staring outside the window. He saw how many elite soldiers were taking their position in front of his office. Even inside and in front of his door were armed soldiers protecting their chancellor. He stared outside and shook his head. Why didn't he destroy this awful ring before it could get stolen? Because of the national security was the answer of his Minister of the Interior, Alberich Neumeier. Why did he listen to him? Now he stared outside and it felt like war. People disappeared without a trace and his own life was more in danger like ever before. He felt like in a bad dream but that this was real. The population was getting nervous and his Ministers too. The opposition did the same like always: They wanted his resignation. Anger and fear raised in him. Why was he so powerless against this? Why, why, why?

He emptied his glass and leaned against the window and said: "I wish it would be night or she would be here by now."
