Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Ranger's Eyes p 5

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible, Street Hawk or Walker, Texas Ranger. Wish I did though.

Foster and Arrest

In Dallas, the skulking figure of Tom Foster can be seen, staking out the Courthouse. Tom had seen the team's vehicles parked there overnight. For the past two hours, the thin Caucasian man had been inside his car, thinking about the past few months. All the kills he had done were random, if only to attract Team Hawk's attention.

His past twenty years as a mob enforcer gave him valuable skills as a freelance hit man. However, he lost all his scruples, especially when it came to women and children. His Don with the Carloni Family was not happy with the news of his failure. He was even more displeased at the man's eagerness to kill women and children. Especially those unlucky enough to die by accident. So, a contract was put out. So far, all the mob hit men that tried to collect on it had died.

Three months ago, he was hired by an unknown party and paid a massive amount of money to kill the team. Problem was, no one even knew where the team was really based as they go all over the world. When he had asked about his targets' habits, he was simply told they go where they get called to go. Along with they supposedly had ammunition capable of erasing people's memories. So, he chose the most likely place to have murders done. Texas. He enjoyed seeing the Department of Public Safety's frustration as he taunted them.

Snapping back to the present, he sees his next victim. The Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney, Alex Cahill-Walker. 'This will definitely get Team Hawk's attention and bring them out into the open.' Just as he gets close to the building, he sees Alex and their daughter leaving the Courthouse so Alex can take her to school.

"This is one child that will not make it to school today." At that, he begins driving the car toward the staircase, grinning maliciously. Before he can get to the staircase, he hears rapid gunfire coming from his right. Looking to the side, he sees a motorcycle with a very menacing appearance heading his way.

When the cycle fires it's guns again, the car comes to a slamming halt, causing Foster to bang his head against the steering wheel. Shaking his head as he lifts it back up, he sees a black-clad figure walking towards him, aiming a gun at him.

"Step out of the car and put your hands up!" When Foster makes to start the car back up, the figure adds, "It won't do you any good, bubba. I killed your engine. Now, get out! Or I'll pull you out!" The figure then asks, "You all right, Mrs Walker?"

"I'm fine, Ninja. Thank you."

"Just happened to be in the area, ma'am."

"All right. Take him inside and get him processed. Then you can follow me to C.D.'s. It's the least I can do after you saved my life, along with my daughter's."

"You got it, ma'am." With that, Ninja takes hold of collar and pulls the murderer out through the car's windowsill. "I told you I'd pull you out." Hustling Foster inside, he says, "You had a lot of nerve to pull this crazy-ass stunt."

Foster shrugs and replies, "It's part of the contract. I'd like to make a deal, Ninja. I wish to be sentenced to Life in Prison without Parole. In exchange for testimony about the people that hired me. You see, I was hired to kill you. Tempted?"

"I am, but that'll be up to the District Attorney's Office. I'm sure they'd be very interested to hear what you have to say, though." Once Ninja gets inside, he sees the Jailer and says, "Book him."

"What's the charge?"

"The sad sack of shit that's been killing Texans? This is the guy, it seems."

"No seems about it. I am the sad sack of shit that's been killing people randomly. All to get your attention. Just a little taste of what I'm offering." Tom can't help a malevolent smile as he adds, "There's plenty more where that came from."

Five minutes later, he is in his cell, alone, when Ninja leaves the Courthouse, following Alex to C.D.'s. When they get there, Ninja can't help a low whistle as he looks at the place.

"Beautiful, isn't it? I gotta get Angela to school. I'll be back shortly." With that, Alex leaves Ninja as she drives her green Chrysler Sebring convertible away from the building. Once she's cleared the building, Ninja returns his attention to it.

The sight is impressive. A light in the shape of a Texas Ranger's badge in the window, outdoor tables for those that would like to eat on the covered patio and even the sign at the top of the building has two Texas Ranger badges on it. When he gets inside, he sees two DPS Officers walking toward a thin man with greying hair and a cheesy grin. Along with a nasal New York accent.

"Hey, hey, Officers Logan and Morrisey. Nice to see you guys again." When the man sees Ninja, he says, "Hello. Who are you?"

"Hello. I'm Ninja, with Team Hawk."

"How's it going, Ninja?"

"Pretty good."

Officer Dana Logan chuckles and says, "Ninja, meet Charlie Brooks. Former mob accountant, swindler, hustler and an all-around nice guy." Once handshakes had gone around, the group hears a van pull up. "Now what?" Taking a look outside, she sees Team Hawk's van pulling in front of the diner.

"What's going on out there, Officer Logan? You know I just got this place five years ago."

"The rest of Team Hawk just pulled up." Logan turns around, smirks and adds, "By the way, I hear you saved Ms Walker's life."

Ninja bows and replies, "I happened to be in the area when the guy tried killing Mrs Walker. He says he was hired to get our attention. So, he began killing people randomly. According to what he says anyway." At that point, the rest of the team walks in and Ninja introduces them. Once they're done, Ninja fills the team in until Charlie waves his arms around.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You mean to tell me there was a psycho killing people, just to get your attention? I think he was just trying to get his rocks off."

"I don't think so, Brooks-san. This man is evil to the core. Absolutely willing to kill anyone, and I mean anyone. Including women and kids. That much we already know. Even worse, he said that he was hired to kill us."

"Oh snap. Guys, I think I know what Ninja's talking about." Everyone else turns to Street Hawk as he says, "Think about it. Bizarre murders stymie the authorities, prompting GJ's calling us in on this. It would appear as if we're the targets of this guy. Now, who would gain the most if we were to die in the line of duty?"

"The Sho-Da-Kah. We've been a thorn in their sides ever since we took out their operation in Shanghai." Next thing the team knows, Wade's voice comes through loud and clear.

"That's only part of it, Hard Hawk. I did some digging and found out that Garthe Knight was one of the organization's financial backers. It took me a while to find it, but I did."

Sand Hawk nods and says, "Thanks for the info, Smarty."

War Bird catches on and says, "All right. While they're doing that, let's go over all the reports of the murders and see if we can find a common denominator. Something common to all scenes. If he's going to be convicted, we need plenty of hard evidence to give to the DA." The team nods in agreement and heads out to Rolling Base. Once they get inside, they head for the Courthouse.

Along the way, Bonnie lifts up her visor and asks, "Ron, would you be adverse to us being our GJ selves while we work? I'm sure they won't mind GJ operatives looking over the files as well. It's a good thing Dr Director gave us Global Justice ID cards."

"All right. We'll change to our clothes before we get to the Courthouse. We'll park Rolling Base about three blocks away from the building and head there on foot."

Kim smirks as she adds, "I just hope no one's nearby. But, just to be cautious, let's park in an alleyway."

Behind the wheel, Norman nods and soon spots an alleyway. "I found one. You'll have to change into your GJ Uniforms by couple or single. I'll wait here for you guys to return."

Jessica nods in agreement as she steps out with Bonnie and Hirotaka, saying, "Kim and Ron, you guys go first." The Stoppables nod in agreement as the door closes. When Kim and Ron are finished and step out, they're wearing blue GJ Uniforms. Along with their duty weapons.

Up next is Bonnie and Hirotaka, followed by Jessica. Once all are in their GJ Uniforms, they walk to the Courthouse and show their GJ identification. A DPS Officer escorts them to the file room and leaves them to their business.
