Kim Possible and Street Hawk vs the Village Bullies p 10

Interrogation and Closure
Three hours later, Jessica, Bonnie, Ron, Kim and Hirotaka are at the Police Station, which had been taken over by the State Authorities in the wake of the Police Chief's death. Mona vouched for Billy and thanked him for his part in saving Norman. Namely with a massive kiss. As they kissed, War Bird lifted off of the ground, with Sand and Street Hawk right behind.
After the kiss had ended, the State Authorities placed Mona and Billy into the back of a State Patrol cruiser and taken to the Judge to give their statements while Jane was loaded into an Ambulance to be driven to the Hospital. Norman was allowed to accompany her and was last seen holding his wife's hand and his newborn daughter's hand.
As the Emergency vehicles headed out, the attack vehicles had returned to their staging point and was covered before Ron, Bonnie and Jessica returned to the village limits. When they got back to Mona's cabin, Ron was informed that Kim had gone to the Police Station for a debrief by a GJ representative. Luckily, the Officer that had told them was out of the loop as to the purpose of the debrief.
In the present, Kim's Kimmunicator beeps and Kim brings it out.
"What's the sitch, Wade?"
"Just heard back from Norman. Jane and Norma are doing just fine."
"Norma?"
"Yeah, looks like she decided to name her as close to her Father as possible, Ron. Just like Lily did with Jessica."
"Hmm."
"Don't even think it, Ron. You're not going to suggest naming one of them after me. After all, there's already one Kim Stoppable and you're married to her. Although, we can call her Veronica."
"Okay. That'll work. Here's another name idea. How about Bonnie? Bonnie Stoppable." Bonnie smiles and blushes at Ron's suggestion and is about to reply when a familiar form steps up.
"Hello, Stoppables and Rockwallers."
Ron grins and says, "Hey, Dr. Director. What brings you here?"
"Joe was observing Street Hawk's antics on the water up in Canada at an RCMP outpost in British Columbia and he called me. Naturally, since I'm your Liaison Officer, it struck me as rather curious." Dr. Betty Director then looks around and asks, "Where is Mr. Tuttle at?"
Kim smiles and replies, "Last time we saw Norman, he, Jane and their baby girl were heading to the Hospital. We just heard back from Wade. Mother and child are doing well. The baby even has a name already. Norma."
Dr. Director smiles at that and then frowns. "That's wonderful news, though not quite what I was hoping for. Mr. Stoppable, why were you and the others up here in the first place?"
"Are you familiar with Norman's entire past, Dr. Director?" At her head shake of no, Ron goes on. "An old friend of his called him and told him she was being threatened. The old friend's name was Dr. Mona Williams. She's a Medical Expert with an affinity for animals. Well, upon arrival here, we found out the one that threatened the Doctor was Bonnie's Father. After that, the case became even more twisted than a carnival's pretzels." That causes Dr. Director to laugh and wipe her visible eye before Ron goes on.
"Then last night, Bonnie and I went undercover as newlyweds, due to the village's coupling preferences. Bonnie saw her Father for the first time in years and was able to keep her cover."
Bonnie scowls, adding, "For the most part. After checking into the 'Fisherman's Inn', Ron followed my Father to a houseboat and overheard him talking with two other men, who happen to be in custody with him right now."
"I know. I read the Coast Guard's report. Right now, they're still picking up pieces of that fishing trawler that had blown up. Any idea as to what caused it to blow up?"
Ron and Bonnie both reply, "No, ma'am" at the same time, without bothering to call jinx on each other.
Dr. Director nods at that and looks over at Bonnie. "How are you feeling, Bonnie?"
"Scared out of my mind, Dr. Director. So very scared out of my mind. What'll I say to him? 'I'm your youngest daughter, the one you made her life a living hell out of. Just because you couldn't see the good in people.' Something along those lines, Doctor?" At that, Bonnie starts sobbing as Hirotaka takes her into his arms and kisses her hair.
"I don't know if it'll help or not, but I'll be with you when you talk to your Father. According to the State Authorities, he's been very cooperative in the interrogations. Especially since he's facing criminal charges for his role in the incident at Dr. Williams' cabin. However, there is also the matter of his deserting your family when you were a child. Consider me here to give you emotional support. But, for now, let's wait for the State boys to wrap up this interrogation session."
Bonnie nods, sniffles and replies, "Okay, Doc."
Dr. Director then says, "By the way, your Mother is very worried about you. She asked me to tell you something."
"Oh, what's that?" As Dr. Director tells her, Bonnie's face lights up with sadistic glee. "I know I'm so going to enjoy this. Ready when you are, Dr. Director."
Inside the interrogation room, Sam is sweating heavily as the Detectives grill him. "Were you present at the time of Greg and Maria Thomas' deaths?"
"Yes, I was."
"Who did it?"
"It was the Chief of Police. He tried to shoot Maria first, but Greg took the bullet for her. Maria tried to get him to hold on, but he died. The Police Chief then blew Maria's brains out and manufactured the evidence."
"How did he do that, Mr. Rockwaller?"
"He had a spray bottle filled with liquefied components essential to gunpowder. First, he cleaned his hands after putting the revolver into Maria's hand, establishing her fingerprints. After he washed the evidence off, he brought out that bottle and sprayed the liquid onto Maria's hand."
"Yes, let's talk about that, Mr. Rockwaller. It'll have to wait until later though. It seems there's a representative of Global Justice here to see you, plus a special guest."
"Who is it?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rockwaller, but I don't have that information on hand here. I'll send them on in." Both Detectives go to the door and the one then says, "You have five minutes until we resume the interrogation. Will that be sufficient for your purposes, Dr. Director?"
"Yes, Detective Wayne. It should be long enough for what we have to do here." At that, Sam sees two women enter. One is a tall brunette with an eyepatch wearing a blue one-piece bodysuit-type uniform while the other is the young woman that called herself Bonnie 'Hunter'.
"Mr. Rockwaller, I'm Dr. Director with Global Justice. I'm sure you know the young woman beside me."
"I do, Dr. Director. But, why is Mrs. Hunter in here? She should be on her honeymoon with her husband."
"Actually, I've already been there and done that." Bonnie puts her head down as she adds, "The years haven't been kind to you, Father."
"Bunny?" At Bonnie's nod, he blows his breath out through his lips as he sits back and asks, "Why are you here, Bunny?"
Bonnie jolts her head back up, fire in her eyes and retorts, hotly, "Don't call me that, you stinkin' rotten rat bastard! That first time is the only time I am willing to allow you to address me as such! You lost that right a long time ago when you deserted us! Mother, Lonnie, Connie and I all suffered after you left! I suffered most of all because I had to stay a bitch! I was so afraid of losing my image because of you! I refused to be friendly because I blamed my true friends for your leaving when it was your fault! You shit-headed son of a bitch!"
Dr. Director shakes her head to clear the buzzing noise as she says, "Ms. Rockwaller, these walls are terribly thin. I think they might even be able hear you in New York."
"Sorry, Dr. Director. I'm okay now." Bonnie then turns to Sam, tears falling from her blue eyes as she says, "I called Ron a loser for so long until one gloriously fantastic day. He told me I'd wind up old and alone because I wasn't nicer to those around me. I then took a good look at myself and how I lived my life by your standards. I didn't like what I saw. So, I changed, gained some very good friends, a loving husband and two beautiful children, the latter of which you will never meet. So that way they won't soak up your hateful attitude. Would you care to meet my husband, however?"
His eyes hopeful, he nods. "Hirotaka, come on in, honey."
"Hirotaka? Is that Ron's nickname?"
"Nope. It's his actual name. Hirotaka Yamanatoka-Rockwaller, this is my Father. My long-absent Father." Sam's jaw drops in shock over the sight of the slender Japanese youth that takes Bonnie into his arms from behind. His shock increases when he sees her recline comfortably into his chest. "Kim, Ron, you guys might as well come in too."
When Kim and Ron come in, Sam goes ballistic. "You're the loser she became friends with!" Next thing he knows, he feels a fist in his jaw and blinks when he sees Bonnie flexing her fist.
"You'll never know how much I've wanted to do that ever since that day you had me call Ron and Kim losers. When you left, I wanted to do far worse, but I took it out on them, verbally! You missed my wedding, along with the birth of your grandchildren. You even missed Lonnie and Connie's wedding. Hell, you missed almost all of our lives! You made me so miserable, it was hell on earth. You're really lucky you're in a populated area right now, because Mother has some papers for you to sign. You stinkin' rotten rat bastard!"
"Papers? What papers, you treacherous brat?" He then gets another belt in the chops, this one from Ron.
"You betrayed Bonnie, you bastard. You made her ruin what could have been a good friendship before it could even begin. Do you ever think about how badly you had hurt her, your wife and your other two daughters?"
"I could care less about that bitch." His head reels again from Bonnie's fist.
"That therapy session is really paying off. I'm starting to feel a whole lot better. I should do this more often." She then smiles her barracuda smile and adds, "Next time you speak about my Mother, it better be with respect. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. As for papers, I mean as in divorce papers. Of course, I was kinda hoping you'd be in a deserted area."
"Why's that, you little loser brat?"
Bonnie's about to slug him again until she grins and replies, "If you had been found in a deserted area, you would have been meeting the business end of a series of nuclear warheads. I really don't care if you believe this or not, but I have a friend with vast resources available to him. All it would take is one phone call to him so he can make the arrangements. BOOM! Mushroom cloud over your dead ashes. But, first, I want to see you squirm in the Courthouse. You tried to kill my friends, you shithead!"
Sam is stunned at the implications of Bonnie's statement and then smiles before laughing. "That's a very good bluff, Bonnie. That's very good. The only one with that capability is the President. No way he's going to spare a nuclear warhead."
"Um, dude, that's not the friend she's talking about. Bonnie, we'll leave you three be. If you need us, call us."
"I will, Ron. Thanks." As Ron leaves the room with Kim and Hirotaka, Bonnie winks at Dr. Director and she winks back. "I'm going to rejoin my friends and family. But, before I walk out of here, I'm going to give you one warning. If you ever come around Middleton, Mother or my children, I'll forget the nuclear warheads and use a chainsaw on you."
"You'd use a chainsaw on me? Your own Father?"
With the venom strong in her voice, Bonnie replies, "As far as I'm concerned, I have no Father. You may have done the deed, but you were no Father, you son of a bitch. Be expecting the papers in three days. Sign and return them immediately. Mother may have gone to pieces after you left, but she is strong. Of course, you really doubted that, didn't you? So, why'd you leave us?"
Sam scoffs and replies, "I was getting so tired of her lecturing me about friendship being possible in all forms of society. Every time you came home, you'd be in tears, wanting to know why you can't be friendly with those that are middle to no-class." He then turns away from her and adds, "I can't believe you went against the grain, Bonnie. You're a disgraceful loser." At that, he feels a punch from Dr. Director's fist.
"No, Mr. Rockwaller. You're the disgraceful loser. The charges against you will stand. Conspiracy to commit murder, animal cruelty, accomplice to a double murder, threatening bodily harm against a former Government employee, attempted murder by fire. Need I go on?"
"What about her? She threatened me with a chainsaw! The little lunatic!"
"Oh that. Well, given the extenuating circumstances, that charge is dismissed."
"Why, thank you, Dr. Director. I think I've gotten my closure now. So, I'll just leave you two be. Unless you wish to get away from this pathetic loser as well."
"I do indeed, Ms. Rockwaller. I do indeed." At that, the two women make for the door as Sam clears his throat.
"Bonnie, you walk out that door and you'll regret it. You'll become a loser."
"No. I'm a winner. As are Ron and Kim. Friendship is what helps people win in life, not popularity. I'm glad they're my friends."
"They'll betray you, being the poor people they are."
Not wanting to share what she knows about Ron, Bonnie shrugs and retorts, "Material wealth is not important. Sure, it may help, but it is not that important. So, on that note, good-bye and go to Hell." With that, they finish walking out the doorway as Sam yells after her.
"Bonnie Marie Rockwaller! Get back in here right now, young lady! Bunny! Come back to Daddy! You need a spanking!" When he sees the door closing, he can make out the image of Bonnie hugging Hirotaka before the door clicks shut.
Outside the room, Bonnie shakes as she quietly sobs into Hirotaka's shoulder. She glances to her side and sees her friends with concerned looks on their faces.
"You okay, Bon-Bon?"
"I am now, Ron. Just going through the motions. You know?"
"I think I have a pretty good idea. Any time you need someone to talk to, I'm open." Kim nods in agreement with Ron, indicating she'll be open as well. Bonnie smiles gratefully as she returns to facing Hirotaka's shoulder.
"Ron?"
"Yeah, Bonnie?"
"Thanks. You were right, you know. That night. It did open a massive wound in my heart. It'll take a while to heal. So, I think we should take a break from the gig."
"Understood. Let's all go to Merida Island together."
"Roger." She then steps back from Hirotaka, turns to face Ron and glomps him, hard. "Kim, I'm going to see about buying a giant teddy bear. But, for now, I need to squeeze Ron silly."
"Sure, have at, Bonnie. Just don't try any monkey business with Ron." Both then giggle at that as Ron's face goes blue.
"Um, Bonnie."
"Yeah, Hirotaka?"
"I think Ron's having a hard time breathing." Bonnie releases Ron from the glomp and sees him trying to catch his breath.
She then sheepishly smiles and says, "Oops, sorry, Ron."
Ron stretches his arms out and replies, "No problem. That's what I am. A human teddy bear."
Bonnie smiles before giggling and laughing as she glomps Hirotaka, saying, "I've always been curious about something, Hirotaka."
"What's that, Bonnie?"
"If you had a teddy bear when you were a little boy. If your folks were alive, I'm sure they'd be able to tell me."
"I don't think I ever had one."
"Really? I'm going to buy you one!" She then jumps up into Hirotaka's arms and kisses him, still giggling.
As the couple kisses, Kim and Ron smile at the scene before them. As does Dr. Director. "And now the healing can fully begin."
"I agree, Dr. Director. How about you, Kim?"
"Mmm, oh yes, Ron. Matter of fact, have a seat, honey." When Ron is seated, Kim sits in his lap, being mindful of her belly as she puts his gentle hands on there. "What do you feel, honey?"
"Our future. Kim, you look radiant. In fact, you're so radiant, I have to wear shades." To make his point, Ron puts on a pair of sunglasses and gives Kim his cheesiest smile. That puts Kim over the edge as she giggles and laughs softly, still on Ron's lap.
Dr. Director smiles again before remembering something and goes back into the room with Sam Rockwaller. Sam looks up and sees Dr. Director before scoffing and asking, "What do you want now?"
"Mr. Rockwaller, I must ask you something. Do you know just how badly you had hurt that young woman? Do you have any idea what it was like for her to go through life with so little friends?"
"Friendship is not important. Only success. That's the only thing that matters. Her friends and her husband will turn out to be her downfall."
"What makes you so sure about that, Mr. Rockwaller?"
"Poor people become her friends and they'll stab her in the back. It happens all the time when it comes to Upper and Lower class friendships. Or, rather, the lowest of the low. The total losers. For that matter, why is Bonnie here anyway? I mean, last night in the tavern, she was there. Is she a GJ Operative?"
"Of sorts. As are her husband and friends. That's all I'm cleared to say."
"Were you the one that recruited them?"
"You could say that."
"Your answers are very vague. I want details, dammit! Why is my littlest girl an Operative with a pair of losers for friends and colleagues and a Japanese guy for a husband and colleague?"
"Don't you remember, Mr. Rockwaller? I'm a Government Employee. I'm supposed to be vague." With that, she turns around and walks back out the door, adding, "I suggest you follow her advice for once, Mr. Rockwaller. Sign the papers and return them immediately. That way, Judith can get some closure of her own and move on with her life."
When the door closes, Sam Rockwaller thinks about what had just happened. His youngest daughter cursing at him and telling him he has grandchildren that he will never see. Add to that her becoming friends with those not worthy of her stature and you get one screwed up situation in his head. For the first time in years, Sam is truly honked off.
"Well, if she wants a divorce, she can have it. But I am going to ask for everything she owns. No, make that demand." With that, he smugly grins as he pictures himself back in the family mansion and Judith out in the street.
Outside the room, Bonnie sees his smug grin and snorts, saying, "That loser is not going to get a damn thing. He left us."
"I wouldn't worry, Ms. Rockwaller. I checked with your Mother's Divorce Attorney. He informed me that since he had deserted you, your Mother and sisters, he is not entitled to anything."
"How did you find out about that anyways?"
"Your Mother told me when I went to see her. You gave her a fright when she lost contact with you abruptly. She then told me to tell you that if you had happened to find him, to relay her wishes for a divorce and also to curse at him. Massively and brutally. She even told me about your chainsaw collection."
Quirking an eyebrow, she then asks, "Would you please tell me why you have a chainsaw collection, Bonnie? I'm really quite curious. I'm sure the others are as well." She then looks around and sees their dropped jaws.
Bonnie nervously giggles and replies, "After the last Wannaweep adventure and Ron had returned to normal form, I became intrigued by what he had said about building dams and other things. I got the first chainsaw in the off-chance I had become friends with him and been meaning to give it to him as a sign of friendship. But, things have been a little chaotic of late."
The others nod in agreement and start laughing, with Bonnie laughing even more. She then smiles warmly and says, "When we get home, you'll get your chainsaw, Ron. I'm sure it will cut the tension, if any more exists." That causes another bout of raucous laughter.
"If any comes up, it'll be used. Thanks, Bon-Bon."
Bonnie nods as she brings up her cell phone, which had been fixed by Ron while she was asleep on Mona's couch. "Hello, Mom? Yeah, it's Bon-Bon. We got him. It was Daddy. That's right. Yeah, I did and then some. Chainsaw threats. Yeah. Okay, bye."
