Miami, Florida
11:08 p.m.
Trini pulled off of the Highway late at night.
" I think we need to get some gas Tri." Aisha says
" I guess so..but it won't matter..once we get near Kim..I'm gonna hack into the Command Center hoping Billy or Alpha 5 can track the signal back to me somehow.."
" I just want to know the real truth behind this letter..I mean me and you have both listened to and witnessed the love and devotion Kim and Tommy had for one another." Aisha explains as she put her hand under her chin
" That's why we're here to find out the truth behind this situation..I've known Kim since we were four years old..if it's something that she thinks that will complicate anything worse then it it is she'll remove herself from without revealing the real problem." Trini inputs
" So I'm guessing that any clue that we get from her we use it against us whether she'll forgive us or not...I really don't want to be on her bad side Tri." Aisha commented
" Don't worry..because I'll do it knowing that deep down she still loves him..damn that other 'so called guy' my ass..that letter is being used a cover up for something and we'll find out what when we get to her apartment." Trini pointed out as she turned the corner
Hart/Ryan Residence
" Kim are you crazy..Tommy deserves to know that he's gonna be father eight months." Renee exclaimed
" Renee he has to move on..just like I have to when the baby is born." Kim mumbled
" Your not getting it Kim..you are a month and half pregnant with your 'ex' boyfriend's baby..he needs to know the truth." Renee stated
" Nee..I've sent him a letter saying that I've found someone else already..plus I don't want him to be tied down any longer than he has when I left six months ago..it was hard when I went back for Christmas no matter how I tried it didn't feel the same anymore..and now I didn't realize that after I returned I came back with a reminder of him..why can't you just let it go...Tommy can move on with Katherine now that I have taken myself out of the situation." Kim stated
" Why do you have to be so damn stubborn..Kim the letter won't mean a damn thing once he finds out the real reason why you mailed the letter in the first place..you Kim the one woman he loved and need I remind you..the both of you made love..Kimberly why must you put yourself through this all you have to do is call him."
" I'm not backing out of this Renee it's already to late as it is he probably already got the letter and maybe he might aright seeking out comfort from Kat..besides it's my fault for not being careless."
" Bullshit Kim...you didn't go off to some clinic to get to artifically inseminated by whomever donates sperm..you and Tommy...Kim he loves you and he'll love his and your baby." Renee pointed out as she started to pace
Renee I'll tell him when I think it's appropriate."
" The time is appropriate now Kim." Renee added in quickly
" But I'm not so let it go."
" Fine I will for now Kim...but you have to tell him before he or she is born."
" Gee thanks for the lecture and concern Coach." Kim implied with sarcasm as she rolled onto her other side
' Your lucky that I don't have any of their numbers or else I would've called him by now ' Renee thought to herself as she sat on her bed and opened her book and started reading her romance novel
Angel Grove
Power Chamber
The Zeo Rangers were standing around in various area of the Power Chamber watching Billy type at the controls
" I've managed to trace Kim's signature but it's real weak..so I'm gonna try to tap into her phone line..it's gonna take an hour or two." Billy revealed
" And until then we can talk to her maybe." Tanya asks as she moved next to Adam and Rocky
" That's a possibility Tanya..but as soon as I can tap into her line if the next few minutes or so if I can get it through quickly." Billy said as he continued to type away at the controls
Tommy teleported in and immediately walked over to the glass cylinders that held his old uniform.." Why am I here." Tommy queried
Kat walked over to Tommy and sat down next to him " I don't know why Tommy...but I'm here for you..if you need me to be." Kat says
" Kat I am gonna make this clear..I don't want to be butter up right now..I want an answer to this letter one way or another..if I don't get them here..then I'm going down to Florida to get them..so can you please just leave me alone right now." Tommy issued softly
" Hopefully she can't forget her infatuation go..I mean it's palin as day he wants Kim whether or not Kim means what she wrote in that letter." Rocky commented in a low tone
" Le's hope she can get it through her head" Adam adds
" Besides Kim and Tommy have an unresolved issue..and if this is the way Tommy is gonna be..then he needs Kim and she needs him." Tanya says
" What made you say that." Adam questions
" I honestly hope you two don't think that Aisha hasn't filled me in on the Tommy and Kimberly history while in the middle of the Zeo transfer..she told me all about their love for one another..especially when the other is in a bind or any complications like that also she told me of her and Kim's habit..even when she became the second yellow ranger after Trini left." Tanya explained
" So you two definitely agree that Kim is not telling the truth about this." Rocky wondered
" Yeah...cause if you just look closely..especially coming from a woman's perspective..she's all the way in Florida and he's here by himself contiuning on fighting just like the rest of us are..but Kim and Tommy were teammates and soulmates on and off the battle field for like three years..so of course she's got to be hiding something..and another thing..being seperated from each other by three thousand mile can and will cause some friction between any or every couple." Tanya replied
" Tommy when are you gonna realize that Kim can't love you anymore..what you need is somebody here to love you..and if you let me I will prove it to you...and in my opinion I'm the one who can do much better if you give me the chance." Kat implied
Tommy chose not to respond to Kat then got up and walked away from her." Will somebody tell me why I was summoned here?"
" I've managed to trace the last remaining ounce of Kim's signature that was barely left at all and I'm trying to tap into her phone line." Billy reported
" And maybe I can get the answers to my questions." Tommy applied with excitement
Billy nodded his head as he moved to another control panel
Back in Miami FL.
Outside Hart/Ryan Residence
Trini and Aisha got out of the car and walked into the Apartment entrance and looked at the mailing boxes
" Hart/Ryan room 24." Aisha reveals with a smile
" Come on then my yellow comrade..let's go see see our friend." Trini suggested as she walked up the stairs with Aisha a step behind her
Renee looked over at her friend then placed her book on the nightstand." Maybe she still got something around on a piece of paper or something with a number on it.." Renee muttered as she got down on the floor and looked under Kim's bed
Knock,knock
" Damn who could this be this late at night." Renee swore as she got up and walked over to the door and peeped through the hole seeing a Vietnamese woman and a African American standing in front of the door.
" Do you think she's asleep and not answering." Aisha questions
' Oh yeah.' Renee squealed on the inside as glanced over at Kim
Knock, Knock
Renee opened the door and stepped out closing it behind her halfway.." Hello my name is Renee..Kim's roommate." Renee informs
" Hi Renee my name is Aisha Campbell and this is Trini Kwan we're Kim's friends from Angel Grove..what's going on," Aisha asked
" Yeah we heard from our other friends that Kim sent a letter to Tommy saying that she met someone else here." Trini injected
" Kim did send a letter to Tommy..but the reason was mislead..she told me earlier that the one Tommy needed to be with someone named Kat in Angel Grove..but the real reason is..well just let me show you two so that you can witness for yourselves..but Kim is sleeping right now." Renee informed as she pushed the door open and let them enter the apartment
Aisha and Trini watched as Kim turned over in her sleep with a hand rubbing her stomach softly..then glanced at each other then at Renee.." Is she...you know with child." Trini queried
" I can't see Kim as a cheater..but.."
" Two months ago when Kim went back to Angel Grove for Christmas...I went with her..but I let her have her time with you guys she stayed with Tommy and I'm guessing that they to their relationship to the next level before we came back and now she's about to be six weeks pregnant with Tommy's child..she had no sordid affair with just any guy..she thinks it's a good idea to hide the child from
him by lying that she met someone else." Renee reported
" And she has all of the syptoms." Aisha wondered
" Oh yeah..and I had to watch it when she did go running to the bathroom..and now that she's pregnant Coach Schmidt calls her a waste of his time..he told her that he wouldn't allow her to step foot in his gym because of the unplanned pregnancy..she wanted to keep doing small exercises but he told her not in his gym."
" That cruel ass bastard...so why won't she tell Tommy." Aisha queries
" Because she blames herself."
" Well he's about to find out...excuse me." Trini said as she stepped outside the room and pulled out her old communicator and a mini screwdriver and started tampering with the mechanism
The Power Chamber
" Man I can't get through..I wish she kept her old communicator." Billy exclaimed frustrated
' incomng call from Trini
Tommy, Rocky, Adam, and Tanya surrounded Billy while Kat stayed where she was at
" Trini is that you." Billy asks
" Yeah it's me..who else can tap into the Command Center..or now the Power Chamber using my trusty old Communicator..anyways..me and Aisha was there this morning and overheard that Kim sent a letter to our dear Tommy..so I drove nonstop to Florida to get some answers to it's like quarter to one here."
" What's going on Trini..did Kim tell you two anything." Tommy asked impatiently
" Billy trace my signal and lock onto me, Aisha, Kim and her roommate and Tommy you'll get your answers soon..and Billy be quick about it before she wakes up." Trini added as she walked back into the room
Billy reprogrammed the seqence and quickly locked onto Trini's communicator."Almost set..a few more buttons..are all of you sitting next each other."
" We're all sitting on Kim's bed." Trini answered
"Get Ready." Billy says as he punched in the last code and the girls disappeared from Florida and rematerialized in the center of the Power Chamber
That's All FOR CHAPTER 2..PLZ R & R!
