Author's Note: Hey guys! It's finally time for the next update, and I know you're all excited about what's going to be happening next! This chapter is… wow… I loved writing it! You may beg to differ but hey, I'm the author and I like it so… whatever! Lol Enough of my babbling; it's time for the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Power Rangers, any of its characters, or any of its series. The main idea for this story came from a 2009-2010 storyline of Days of our Lives so the entire plot doesn't belong to me. But, all of the made up character names, places, and details in this story all belong to me!


Kimmie, Did you Know?

Kimberly was startled awake as the front door slammed shut. She sat up as quickly as a pregnant woman can and was relieved to see Tommy walking in with an armload of groceries.

"Oh, Tommy. It's only you."

Tommy nodded as he released a cough. He made his way into the kitchen and coughed again as he began putting away the several items. Kimberly stared at him worriedly as he released another cough, this one followed by several. His skin was pretty pale and it looked like he hadn't slept for a while. He looked very weak and he needed to lie down.

"Are you okay?" she asked him after her observations.

"I'm fine." He sniffed. "I just have a little cold, that's all."

"Then you should be lying down trying to get better, not going out to fetch groceries."

"Well what other choice do I have Kim?" he coughed. "Do you want to starve or not?"

Kimberly frowned as she pushed herself out of bed and made her way over to him. She slapped her hand on his forehead making him yelp in surprise. Her hand warmed up instantly. "My God… you're burning up! Here, you need to lie down."

Kimberly grabbed Tommy's arm and began to tug him over to the couch.

"Kimberly, I'm okay." He protested. "I'll rest after I put the groceries away."

"No, you're gonna rest now." She commanded as she gently pushed him onto the couch.

Tommy sighed as she pulled his boots and coat off and put a pillow behind his head. After tossing three blankets on top of him, she waddled into the kitchen and finished putting things away. Tommy sighed gratefully as he let his eyes slide closed, but they shot open at the sound of clanking pans and utensils.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Making you some soup."

"Don't catch the kitchen on fire this time." He joked. "I don't think I can jump up and put it out and Lord knows you aren't in any condition to run for the fire hydrant. We'll burn alive in here."

Kimberly laughed as she began digging through the cabinets in search of chicken broth. "Why don't you take a nap or something?" Kimberly suggested. "I'll finish your soup and fix you a nice cup of warm tea. That always makes me feel better when I'm sick."

Tommy smiled at her before allowing his eyes to close. After ten minutes of silence, the room was filled with the sounds of boiling chicken soup and Tommy's snoring. Kimberly smiled at him as she stirred the soup around. He was so adorable when he was asleep.

"Well agent Oliver…" she said in a low voice. "Looks like it's my turn to protect you."

Angel Grove Police Department

Tanya walked through the sliding glass door entrance of the police station with her nose and head held hi. She always hated when she had to drop things off for Adam because she was always hit on by one creep or another. If she wasn't in a police station, she was positive that she'd kick every last one of their tails. After walking through another sliding glass door, Tanya entered a dark room with gray, stone walls and very few lights. There were bulletin boards all over the place and the only sounds she could hear was the air conditioner, a TV with the volume on very low, and someone's fingers typing rapidly on a keyboard. The typist was an African American woman. She was very plump and she had her hair in long braids. She looked highly irritated as she stared at the computer screen. She was obviously very busy. Tanya cleared her throat, gaining the woman's attention. The woman looked up and saw who was responsible for interrupting her work. Her frown disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

"Hey there Tanya!" she exclaimed. "It's good to see you."

"Hey Rene. It's good to see you too. Do you know where Adam is?"

"Interrogation room."

Rene looked around to make sure she and Tanya were alone before motioning for her to come closer. She looked around one last time before speaking. "Between me and you, he's interrogating the officer he thinks is working for Zeke."

"What?" Tanya said in disbelief. "He found the mole?"

Rene shrugged. "Perhaps. The other three he interviewed took polygraphs and everything. They don't know anything about Zeke. But this guy… he's a little… troubled so to speak. We never let him out in the field because we don't think he's ready to take on that kind of responsibility. However, when your husband gave him his polygraph this morning… something was up. Although the machine declared he was telling the truth, his brain waves were sending off a different message."

"He tried to fool the test?"

Rene nodded as she began clicking a few things with her mouse. "Sure did. That man was scared as hell. I can only imagine how scared he is now, locked in that room with your husband. You know how aggressive he can get when he's angry."

"Don't I ever."

Rene laughed as she started typing away again. "Well Tanya, I need to get back to my typing. Your husband is down the hall, to the left, and in the first door you see. Just wait outside until he comes out."

"Thanks Rene."

"Anytime!"

Tanya disappeared from the dark room and continued walking down the hallway.

Safe House

Tommy slowly began to stir as Kimberly placed a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of him. His eyes opened slowly and he smiled as Kimberly's face came into view.

"Welcome back from dream land." She joked. "Are you hungry?"

Tommy nodded as he sat up and took the warm bowl into his hands. It tasted like a warm piece of heaven as it slowly trickled down his throat, warming every inch of his body. It was just what he needed to make a full recovery.

"Delicious." He smiled, leaning back onto the pillow he'd been lying on.

"I was hoping you'd say that." Kimberly said as she took a seat beside him. "My mom would fix me a bowl all the time when I was younger. I always felt better the day after. It has… special powers."

Tommy coughed out a laugh before swallowing another spoonful. "Magical powers huh?" he said.

Kimberly nodded. "It's true! I was always so miserable when I was sick. There were days I thought I wasn't gonna make it to school the next day, but that soup always kicked away my sickness. It's amazing. I'm telling you Tommy, by this time tomorrow, you're gonna be running around here doing jumping jacks."

Tommy smiled. "We'll see about that."

Angel Grove PD

Tanya had been sitting outside the interrogation room for fifteen minutes when Adam finally came out. His face lit up when he saw Tanya waiting patiently for him.

"Well hey there stranger." She joked as she stood to give him a hug.

"Hey yourself." He smiled before giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "Did you bring my lunch?"

Tanya smiled as she held up a carry out bag from Rocky's place. "I spent half my lunch break to bring you this, so I'd better be rewarded."

"We'll take care of the rewarding later on tonight."

Tanya smiled as Adam purred. "I'm gonna hold that to you Officer Park."

Tanya looked around before lowering her voice. "So… Rene told me about the interview you're conducting."

Adam's eyes narrowed as his face washed over with seriousness. "Oh, did she now?"

Tanya nodded. "Yeah… Well? Is this guy the one that's been leaking information to Zeke?"

"Yes." He said with a straight face. "I'm actually gonna take him down to booking after I get through chatting with you."

"How'd you get him to confess?"

"Let's just say… I made him an offer he can't refuse."

Tanya smiled. "That's my boy. So… did he give up Zeke's location?"

"No. That's the one thing he's keeping to himself. Don't worry though. I figure, if we get a hold of the guy's cell phone, we can call Zeke's phone and get a lock on where he may be."

"That's a good idea. The sooner you find and take Zeke into custody, the sooner Kimberly can come home."

Adam nodded. "That's the idea. I want this guy to get locked away for good."

"Well Adam, I'm gonna go ahead and head back to the diner. You get your job done, okay?"

Adam gave her a small peck on the lips before smiling. "Will do."

Tanya smiled as she looked him up and down. "Don't forget about your debt to me." She said with a seductive look in her eyes.

Adam laughed. "I won't. I promise."

Safe House

Tommy had fallen asleep instantly after finishing off his tea and soup. Kimberly had just finished washing and putting away their used dishes and she was now resting comfortably on her bed. She was busy watching something on the television, but her mind was only half paying attention to the program. The other half of her mind was focused on Zeke. Had the police found him yet? Was he getting closer to finding her and her baby? What were the police doing to try and find him? She'd been in the witness protection program for five months now and there still wasn't any word on what was happening with the investigation, and that's what worried her the most. Maybe the cops had given up on trying to find him?

Kimberly jumped from her thoughts as Tommy's cell phone started ringing from its place on the coffee table. She glanced at him worriedly as he shifted uncomfortably on the couch. He was sick and he needed his rest, and she wasn't about to let him wake up to answer a call, no matter how important it was. Just as she prepared to retrieve the phone, the ringing ceased. It must've gone to voicemail. Kimberly's eyes traveled back to Tommy who hadn't moved an inch. That soup she'd given him must be working its magic. Kimberly's interest peaked as Tommy's phone vibrated on the table, signaling that a voicemail had been left.

"Tommy rarely gets called…" she whispered suddenly growing suspicious of the voicemail. "So… whatever that call was about, it was obviously important. Maybe it had something to do with my case?"

With that thought in mind, Kimberly slid off the bed and tiptoed over to the coffee table to grab the phone. As soon as it was within her grasp, she hurriedly made her way into the bathroom and closed the door. After holding the "one" button, the phone dialed Tommy's voicemail. The automatic voice system was speaking when Kimberly put the phone to her ear.

"First unheard message." The system spoke.

"Hello agent Oliver. This agent Drake. The commander told me to check in on you. I hope that all is going well with your mission. I need you to call me back as soon as possible so you can give me an update on your job with Kimberly. Thanks."

Kimberly couldn't help but laugh. Tommy had to update his captain on his "babysitting" job? I guess looking after her really was a big deal. Kimberly's eyes widened in shock at the sound of the next voice that came through the speaker.

"Agent Oliver, this is Officer Park of the Angel Grove PD. Now really isn't a time to have your phone off. We've just gotten the squad's rat into our trap. He's the one that told Zeke yours and Kimberly's location."

A gasp left Kimberly's lips as she began shaking with fear. Zeke knew where she and Tommy were? And Tommy apparently knew about it? This couldn't be true.

"Now might be the time for you to tell Kimberly. After all, when Zeke's in custody, this whole witness protection program will be all over. Now, don't get your hopes up too high. Although we know that Zeke is in Reefside, we aren't entirely sure of his exact location. And according to the rat, he hasn't told Zeke where the two of you are. So, that's one good thing. However, it won't be too long until he figures out that you're at the convent. Anyways… just call me back as soon as you can Tommy. We have to go over a few more things. Bye."

"End of messages." The voicemail spoke.

Kimberly dropped the phone sending it clattering to the floor. She walked slowly over to the toilet and took a seat on the closed lid as she stared at the phone. The back had fallen off causing the battery to fall out and slide across the floor to the shower. Oh, how she wished she hadn't been nosey enough to listen to those messages. Now, she was terrified because she and Tommy were in so much danger, and the fact that he hadn't told her upset her. Their lives were at stake and he'd failed to mention that.

Feeling anger pulse through her veins, Kimberly stood up and slowly made her way out of the bathroom. Tommy was sitting upright on the couch rubbing his eyes when she opened the door. He looked over his shoulder and smiled, but the look on her face wiped it right off.

"Is something wrong?" he asked her.

Kimberly nodded twice as she glared daggers into his eyes. "You bet something's wrong." She said through gritted teeth. "I… can't believe you right now."

"Kimberly, I'm afraid you're gonna have to explain. I don't know what's gotten you so upset, but whatever it is, we can talk about it."

"How could you not tell me that Zeke was here in Reefside!" she shouted.

Tommy jumped in surprise at the sudden news. "Kimberly… how did you find out?"

"I checked your voicemail." She admitted plainly.

Tommy's eyes narrowed. "Why would you go through my voicemail Kimberly? That's my private line."

"Well you're private line had several things to do with me. One of those things was very important. Why didn't you tell me that he was here!"

"I didn't want you to worry!" he shouted hoarsely. "Look, in your condition, the best thing you can do is rest and relax. You don't need to be worried and panicking about Zeke."

"I worry and panic about him all the time! This is something completely different though Tommy. He is here. He knows where we are!"

"Not exactly…" Tommy said.

Kimberly cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean not exactly?"

"Yes, he's here in Reefside, but he doesn't know exactly where we are. He tried to follow me when I went out to buy that penguin for your son, but I was able to make a clean get away."

Kimberly studied him for a minute before her memory clicked on. "So that's why you were so paranoid and exhausted when you came back. You were trying to get away from him before he could follow you here."

Tommy nodded. "Kimberly… I'm really sorry I didn't tell you. It was wrong of me and I had no right to keep something like this from you."

Kimberly ran a hand through her hair and took a deep breath. "It's… okay… Look, can we promise each other something?"

"Sure."

"From now on… we aren't going to keep secrets from each other. Got it?"

Tommy nodded. "Right."

Kimberly groaned before taking a seat on the edge of her bed. She began to rub her hand over her stomach as her mind tried to process this newfound information.

Tommy released a light cough before lowering himself back onto the sofa to join dreamland once again. Kimberly wished she could do the same, but she was wide awake with fear. Were she and Tommy really safe? Was Zeke going to find them? She hoped not.
