Chapter 4: Andros's Revenge

Andros stood at the bridge for hours waiting for results on Todd's whereabouts. He looked at his wedding ring and closed his eyes. Ashley's painful expression broke his heart over and over again. A tear fell down his face hearing Ashley's sobs echo through his head. "I'm sorry, Andros, I'm so sorry," she had said.

"Todd Gregory is in Angel Grove park," DECA informed.

"Thank you, DECA," Andros answered.

Andros then got off the ship to find Todd.

(The Hospital)

Ashley woke up to see, T. J., Cassie, Carlos, and Zhane standing there. "Hey, guys," she greeted. Cassie sat next to her and held her hand.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked.

"I'm really sore," Ashley replied.

She winced when she tried to move her legs. "Very sore," she added. Cassie stroked her hair.

"Doc says you're going to be okay," T. J. informed.

"It's mostly bumps and bruises," Carlos added.

Ashley looked around the room. "Andros? Where's Andros?" She asked.

"We don't know where he is," Zhane replied.

Ashley shot up from bed. "Oh, God! He's going after him! Zhane, I need you to stop him! Andros is going to go after Todd!" She exclaimed. Cassie pushed Ashley back against the bed.

"We'll find him, Ash, don't worry, we'll find him," Carlos assured her.

"You have to find him. If Andros finds Todd, he'll kill him," Ashley warned.

"Why do you care about Todd?" Zhane asked.

"It's not Todd I'm worried about, it's Andros. They'll arrest him too," Ashley replied.

"Come on, let's go," T. J. instructed.

"FIND HIM!" Ashley shouted as they ran out the door.

(In the City)

Andros was walking through the city, heading towards the park.

T. J., Carlos, and Zhane saw Andros heading towards the park. "Oh, man! He's found Todd!" Carlos exclaimed.

"COME ON!" Zhane shouted.

Andros marched right up to Todd and punched him in the face. "YOU PIECE OF SLIME! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER!" He shouted.

"ANDROS!" Zhane called.

Zhane and T. J. grabbed Andros and dragged him off Todd. "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN!" He roared.

"Andros, calm down. This won't do you or Ashley any good," Carlos pointed out.

Andros glared at Todd. "Why, Todd? Why did you do it?" T. J. asked. Todd wiped the blood from his lip and nose before getting off the ground.

"Because she's mine," he replied.

Andros fought against Zhane and T. J. "Ashley's my wife. She's never been yours," Andros snapped.

"You had no right to take her as your wife. I was supposed to take her as my wife," Todd answered.

Andros shook his friends off his arms. "You just can't stand that after all these years that Ashley has loved me and not you. You hate the fact that she'll be carrying my baby. You just wish that Ashley was going to be carrying yours," Andros snapped. Todd then charged at Andros, knocking the former Red Space Ranger to the ground.

"ANDROS!" T. J. shouted.

Carlos looked at Todd's friends. "You guys going to be cowards or you going to help us pull them apart?" He demanded. Michael and Terry ran over and grabbed Todd by his arms. T. J. and Zhane grabbed Andros by his arms again, holding them back.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" T. J. shouted.

Andros gave Todd a death glare. "If you ever touch Ashley again. Not even your friends can protect you from what I'd do to you," he snapped. Todd glared right back at Andros.

"We'll see, Andros Karovan," Todd answered.

The police came and Andros shook Zhane and T. J. off him again. He wiped the blood off his face as an officer walked up to them. "I'm looking for an Andros Karovan," the officer informed.

"That'd be me, sir," Andros answered.

The officer walked over to him. "Adam?" Carlos asked. Adam nodded.

"Andros, I got a call from Ashley. She's waiting for you back at the hospital. She told me everything," he informed.

Todd gulped audibly and his friends took off. Adam looked over his shoulder. "You're Todd Gregory?" He asked. Todd was about to take off, but Andros grabbed him before he could get far.

"This is him, Adam," Andros replied.

Adam read Todd his rights and arrested him. Todd glared at Andros. "I'll her one day, Andros. I'll get your precious Ashley," he snapped as Adam put him in the car. Andros watched as Adam took

Todd to the police station. Zhane placed a hand on Andros's shoulder.

"Come on, Andros, Ashley's waiting," he commented.

Andros nodded and went to visit his wife.

Andros walked into Ashleys' room and sat on the edge of her bed. He gently stroked her bruised face. "Hey, gorgeous," he murmured. Ashley opened her eyes and smiled sadly.

"Hey," she answered.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Sore."

Andros kissed the top of her hand and stroked her hair. "Todd's gone, Ashley. He'll never bother you again," he assured her.

"Thank God," she murmured.

He kissed her forehead and looked up when Dr. Langdon came in. "Mr. and Mrs. Karovan, good news. Mrs. Karovan will be able to go home in the morning," he informed. Andros smiled as he hugged his wife. "I want to keep her overnight for observation," he added. Ashley held onto Andros in fear.

"Please don't leave me," she whispered.

Andros kissed the top of her head. "I'm not going anywhere, Ash, I promise," he answered. Dr. Langdon nodded and left them alone.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," he answered.

He kissed the top of her hand again and held her close. "I love you very much," he added.
