Chapter II
-Bonnie-
For the third night in a row, I was plagued by this strange nightmare, and like every time that it happens for the past three nights. I would wake up in a cold sweat. The odd thing about the dreams is that I could never remember what or whom they were about. It was not helping either that for the past three month I had not heard anything from Ron.
What made it worse was that even though we said that we would email each other. I was the one sending all the emails but he never returned any of them. Oh, I knew that he was getting them and reading them. It's just that he was not returning any of my messages. To be honest it was worrying me.
Now if I didn't know the man and what he had been through then, I might have just said forget about it. However, love has a weird way of letting you hold onto hope that one day the one you love will come around and see the truth. My wishes and hopes was that Ron would see that I was not going to hurt him or leave him as Kim did all those years ago.
Being that I was already up, I check the alarm clock on the nightstand in my hotel room. It was already 4:30 in the morning, and I had a meeting in three hours. Therefore, I figured what the heck and got up. I rolled out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I still had the red jersey that Ron used to wear all the time.
Once in the bathroom I striped down and hoped in the shower. Letting the warm water cascade down my body and wash away the worries from the dream. After my shower, I walked back out into my hotel room to get ready for my meeting. It was the one thing that I hated about my job. All the traveling and meeting with the bureaucrats. The offer at Wade's company was starting look better and better. Money was never the issue for me, it was the fact that I would be home more.
I was deep in thought about what I was going to do with my life and where I wanted to take it. A lot of it I was unsure of even now. However, all I did know was that I wanted to spend it with Ron. It was still funny for me to think that the one person that I gave so much hell to during school. Is now the one person I want to spend the rest of my life with and start a family. Of course, that was what I wished for. Yet unknown to me at the time fate was starting to make that wish very hard to come true.
I was brought out of my daydreams by my cell phone ringing. I walked over and grabbed it off the charger. Checking the caller id, I recognized the number right away. "Hey Hana, what are you doing calling me at this time of the morning?"
Hana and I were very close, almost to the point that she was like my little sister. I just hoped that one day if Ron was ready that it would be more official. I looked over at the clock again, being it was almost five in DC, which would make it around three back home. Something didn't feel right, for her to be calling me at this time of the morning, especially on a school night.
When she started talking, I could tell she had been crying. "Sis, it...it's Ron...He was..." She started sobbing again.
My heart felt like it was going stopped. I knew what Ron did was dangerous. However, the way Hana was sounding I know something bad had happened. "Hana calm down and tell me what happened to Ron."
The line went dead for a minute and I could hear Hana dropped the phone and start balling. The next thing I heard was Ron's father come on the line. He voice was a more subdued than normal.
"Bonnie dear, we just got a call from Ron's Commanding Officer."
"Please No." was all I could get out. I know that the only reason that he would call if something bad had happened to Ron
"Bonnie… Ron has been shot down during a mission. Nobody well tell us what happened or even if he was able to eject."
With those words, I dropped to the bed behind me. I could feel hot tears running down my check. 'Please lord no, let him been able to get out and be alright. Don't take him from me when I just found him.' I clam down enough to speak again. "I'm coming home on the next flight."
"Bonnie, there nothing you can do here. We just have to face the fact that he been taken from us."
I was not ready to give up hope yet. "Mr. Stoppable did Ron CO tell you that he had been killed."
"Well no."
"Then I am not ready to give up on him yet. Ron has been in some tough situation when he was saving the world with Kim." I knew that they need to have hope. "So we got to believe that he will get out of this one as well."
There was a long pause from the other end. "I guess your right dear."
"I'll be home as fast as I can." I hung up the phone, that's when the when everything I was holding back came rushing forward. I flopped back on the bed and curled up in a ball cling tight to his old jersey. Then I did something that I had not done in a long time, I prayed.
'Lord, I know that I have not been that best in the world. However, please don't take him from us look out for him and bring him home to me. If this is some sort of punishment towards me for everything bad that I have done in my life. Then please find it in your heart to punish me some other way. I love him so much and I want to make up for everything bad thing that I had ever did or said to him. So please Lord look out for the one man I have ever truly loved.'

Two hours prior
I was in the control room monitoring the reading from the new sensor package my team and I installed in the first strike aircraft. So far all the readings where well within range of what they where suppose to be. We were not picking up any EM fields or gravimetric disturbance. Therefore, to me this was a good sign. However, there were a couple of things driving me up the wall.
First and for most was the fact the one of my oldest and dearest friends was a part of this mission. Just sitting and waiting for them to get it over with and get back home was nerve wreaking enough. Now it not like I'm not use to waiting to make sure the teams get back alright. I mean I was Team Possible tech support guy. However, this was different. Ron was going into an area where the bad people wanted to kill you no matter what.
Now on the other thing that was driving me nuts was the fact that GJ is involved in this one. I know it's driving Ron nuts after everything that has happened to him because of them, but seeing my friend so upset before his flight. I knew that he had run into Dr Director. Therefore, as the old saying goes piss off my friends you piss off me. You see that's not the only reason that having GJ around during this mission was getting to me.
It was the fact that due to them that the PDVI was stolen while being transported to our demolition facility. I can't count the number of time that, that thing had been stolen while under their care. So that why it was deemed by, the UN to destroy it, and my company was in charge of doing so.
The plane that was carrying the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer was hijacked. How the terrorist where able to get it off the plane before they blow it up. I will never know. Now not only did we lose the PDVI, I also lost one of my top security agent and someone very special to me. All thanks to Global Justice, and now here I sit in another control room as another one of my friends is off to help destroy not only the PDVI but the terrorist group that took it.
Now like I was saying I was monitoring my screen for signs that the PDVI had been started up when I heard commotion coming from the control room on the other side of the glass. That's where the military flight operations where being conducted.
"Naco bank hard right!"
That was all I need to hear to know that Ron was in trouble. I ran over to the other room knocking down a few GJ agent by the door just in time to see the satellite feed over the battle field as a missile slammed into Ron's left wing.
"How the hell did his alert computer not pick up the second missile?" Ask a Lieutenant off to one side.
It was then I spotted Ron CO walk past me. "That's not important right now." Everyone hushed as the big man walked into the room. "What the condition of Captain Stoppable?"
"Sir, there has been no response from him what so ever."
"Aright then, execute order 592."
"Sir you can't be serious. He could just be knocked out."
"Lieutenant, you know the standing orders. We can not have any part of that plane fall into the terrorist hands." Ron's Colonel said back.
It didn't take me long to realize what the order was. Rearguard less of Ron condition they had orders to remote detonate the plane with enough explosive so nothing was left behind.
"He more then likely dead any way." I turned to see who was speaking and spotted Will Du.
Before I could do or say anything Ron CO spun around and decked Agent Du. I saw with some great satisfaction as he went down like a ton of lead bricks. As much as I loved watching the Colonel beat the hell out of Will I had t act fast.
'Now if they can remotely activate the self destruct. There got to be a way to set off the ejection seat by remote as well.' I thought to myself as I ran back to my station.
The last thing I heard as I ran back to my station was the Colonel yelling at Will and Dr. Director.
"If it was not for you and your pathetic little want to be army, one of my best pilot would not be plunging to his death. Now get the hell out of my control room before I have you removed by force."
'Nice one Colonel.' I thought to myself.
I sat down at my station and started working at a fever pace. It was just damn good luck on Ron behalf that I was a computer genius and could crack the remote link to his fighter. I noticed Altimeter and realized I had lest then a minute to find the right system to eject Ron before they vaporized his plane.
It was also just as lucky that it was my company that built and installed the new sensor package. It gave me a backdoor into the planes computer systems. The thing is I needed to do it with out the military guys knowing what I was up too. Which to be honest was not going to be the hard part, as busy as they where at the moment. As the norm back when I was on with Team Possible it only took me about fifteen second to crack the code.
A quick look over the read out on Ron's fighter I realized that I had to time it just right. He was at eighteen thousand feet and falling fast. I figured at the rate he was falling I had about forty five second to get him out.
'No problem.' I thought.
I never had such a hard time finding what I was looking for. I was trying to find the right lines of code to trigger the eject system. It felt like an eternity trying to find what I was looking for when in fact only thirty seconds had past before I found it. Then panic set in. Not only had Ron reach safe altitude to eject from his fighter. The Colonel's team had started the count down.
'Crap this is not good.' I was working faster now then ever before. 'Come on Wade your best friend in the world is depending on you.'
The count down to the self destruct hit three by the time I sent the code to his plane. All I could do now was wait and see if the code reached the craft before the explosives went off.
I got up from my station and headed to the main control room, thinking that the bigger screen I would be able to spot any signs of a chute. Then the counter went to zero and in a bright flash that actually hurt my eye for a second Ron bird exploded. When my eyes finally adjusted back to normal, I look up at the screen.
I was shocked at what I saw. The sky around Ron's plane looked as if it was set a blaze. It was due to the fuel that he had been leaking fuel from the missile strike. I thought for sure there was no way that Ron could have made it out of there a live. Not with all the fuel and debris that came from the explosion. Even if he did eject in time there was no way he could have survived the fireball.
I hung my head and began to walk back to my station. I felt the worst I had ever felt in my life. My best friend needed me and there was nothing I could do for him. I didn't know how I was going to be able to tell everyone back home. I walked away feeling like crap until I heard transmission from his team mates.
"Sir I got signs of a chute."
"Confirm that, I spot it too."
"Thank god he was able to punch out in time. Scorpion Lead to base, we have a downed pilot and need evac team right away."
I spun around and spotted the chute on the main screen. I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. Ron made it out but, we still didn't know of his condition. I watched as the rest of his team flow cap as Ron touched down. The thing was the camera was not good enough to see up close.
"Alright Sergeant call the field, tell them to send in the PJ's to get him out." The Colonel said.
That's when everything went to hell.
"Colonel you can't do that."
I turned around as well as everyone else in the room to see Dr. Director standing at the door again. I was the first one to say something. "DO WHAT?"
She just ignore me and looked at the Colonel. "We have to strike now before they can get the device operational." Dr Director let out a heavy sigh. "Regardless of the past history of the Captain and I, he would understand that the mission came first."
"But you can't just…" I stammered but was soon cut off.
"I'm sorry Mr. Load but the Director is correct." He paused before looking directly at me. "Stopping these guys is more important then the life of one pilot" I was going to say something more but he lifted his hand to cut me off. "That's the way it has to be despite any of our personal feeling about this."
I could see in his eyes that he felt the same way as I did. With out saying anything more to me or Dr Director he turned back to his control room.
"Lieutenant tell the PJ's to stand down." I watched him pick up a head set and speak to his flight team. "All units proceeded with mission."
There was no response or any rebuttals from his men. All of them where train professionals and knew as well as the Colonel that even thou there friend and comrade was down there in the target area the mission had to go on regardless.
"Sir 90 minutes till bomber are in range of target."
"Very good Major."
All I could do is stand there and watch as the Colonel sat in his seat with a very heavy heart.
'Ron, lets hope that the Ron-factor is still in place and you can get out of there in one piece.' I thought to myself as I headed back to my station.
-Narrative-
On the outer edge of there patrol area a small group of men riding in a lightly armor truck had seen the explosion in the sky off to east of their position. The leader of this small band ordered his driver to head in the direction. If anything he was hopping that they might find something in the debris that they could use. At the time he had no idea just how lucky his team was going to get on this day.
They had arrived at the crash site and started looking over the debris field. However their search had not turned up anything that they could use for their cause. The debris field was nothing but small shards of metal. They started to get back into their truck until one of his men shouted out.
"Sir I have found something." The young man said in a thick accent.
The leader got back out of the truck and with several of his men following him headed over to the location of the younger solider.
"What have you found?"
"There looks to be a parachute over there." The younger man said pointing off to the north.
With out another word the leader and the rest of his men walk over to where the chute was at. What they found brought a huge smile to his face.
"Now we will have three bargaining chip to get what we want." He turns to one of his men. "Bring the truck up here we will take him back to headquarters. These Americans and Global Justice will soon learn not to mess with us."
A/N: Now I have reread this chapter several times and did quit a few edits to make sure it sounded right. So if there are still few mistakes please forgive me. Being that said if anyone would like to proof read these for me then let me know. Need to be someone that has read the first story and know my writing LOL just kidding
