Chapter 4

Watching a large screen TV in a small office located to one side of the warehouse he was holding Kim's family in, Moriarty cracked a smile at the scene he was watching.

He wasn't able to see into the Stoppables house, but he was able to listen to what had occurred inside. At the same time that things were being set up to kidnap the Possible family, Moriarty's goons were also able to place a couple of laser listening devices across the street from the Stoppable's house. They were focused on a couple of windowpanes on the first floor, and they were picking up sound vibrations from inside the house.

As for the video he was now watching, it was courtesy of a few tricks he had picked up from studying Kim Possible's Tech Genius. Now he was watching a grainy picture of Kim carrying the body of Ron Stoppable from his house, and placing him inside her car. The video he was currently watching was courtesy of a security camera outside a convenience store a block and a half away.

The Possible family, Mr. and Mrs. Possible and the twins, were in a large portion of the warehouse he had set up specifically for them. It was a large area that was partitioned off in which the walls, ceiling, and floor were painted white, and the simple wooden chairs his prisoners sat on were painted black. He stole a glance through his open office door at all four to make sure that things were still as he had left them, which of course they were, so Moriarty turned back and continued to watch Kim as she drove to the destination he had given her.

…x x x x…

Arriving at the location given to her, Kim was now parked in front of a large roll-up door. To one side of the large door was a standard entrance, yet she wasn't quite sure which entrance to use to enter the large warehouse. She really didn't want to have to carry Ron's body through the smaller entrance, as even with her super suit it would be both awkward and cumbersome to maneuver through while carrying a limp body. Just as Kim opened her car door to get out, the large door rose to let her drive in.

Before driving inside, she gave a quick twist to one cuff of her suit, which then morphed itself into a facsimile of her purple and black outfit. "I'm so glad Wade made this a standard feature." She then said aloud to no one.

After travelling just a few feet in to the warehouse, two bright lights switched on that temporarily blinded the young hero. She shut the car off and stepped out while shielding her eyes against the intense illumination.

Suddenly a voice boomed over speakers that she instantly recognized as Moriarty. "Do you have the body of Ronald Stoppable with you?"

"Yes I do." Kim said through her teeth, yet loud enough to be heard. "Now where is my family." She demanded.

Once again the deranged villain's voice boomed over the speakers "In due time Miss Possible… In due time. First, I must ask that you disrobe and change into some different clothing."

"Why?" Kim barked, as she was starting to get very irritated.

"Come now Kimberly… I'm not a fool. I know about this alleged 'Super suit' of yours, and I need assurances that you do not try to pull a fast one on me. Immediately to your left you will see a metal cabinet. Open the doors and you will see the clothing I want you to wear. It's rather simple attire, but I think you may recognize it."

Walking over to the cabinet, Kim opened the doors and let out a little gasp. What she saw folded up on the shelf inside was a set of her old style of mission clothes, which was green cargo pants and black ¾ length sleeve half shirt. There was also a pair of black ankle-high sneakers that looked to be her size.

"I don't suppose you have a place for me to change?" Kim asked, seemingly to no one, but she knew exactly who was listening.

"Oh I am so sorry Kimberly… but I have to actually see you change. Please believe me that it's not for a sick perversion or anything like that… I just need to know for sure 100 percent that you have changed your clothes. I cannot take a chance that you have that suit on. You can put the clothes you have on in the cabinet when you are done, and after we conclude our business, I'll even let you keep the black shirt and cargos. I understand that they are very hard to come by these days." The voice paused for a moment and then continued. "Now if you please, Miss Possible?"

With a low growl in her throat, Kim kept her super suit configured to look like her other outfit, and quickly changed into the copy of her mission clothes. Even though she had on undergarments, Kim changed in record time in order to reduce her exposure as much as she could.

After she finished changing and placing the Super Suit in the cabinet, the lights dimmed a bit and Moriarty spoke again. "Now I would like you to gather the body of Mr. Stoppable and bring him through the double doors you see directly ahead of your vehicle. There I will be waiting for you, along with your family." At the mention of her family, a twinge of happiness came over Kim, as she was finally seeing an end to this nightmare.

Quickly she pulled Ron's body out of her car and once again threw him over her shoulder. Without the super suit, she could definitely feel his weight, but she was still strong enough to carry him for probably about a hundred yards. Kim absently hoped that she wouldn't have to carry Ron that far.

Just as she reached the double doors, she heard three loud clanks that must have been locks disengaging before the doors swung open. As soon as Kim walked through the doors, they slammed shut and she heard those three clunks once again, telling her that they were once again locked.

Moriarty's voice was once again heard over the speakers. "All you have to do now Kimberly is walk down the hallway you are in and push through the swinging doors at the end. There you will find your family, and we will commence with the business of the day."

Adjusting the body on her shoulder, as she was starting to feel the affects of carrying about 160 pounds of dead weight on her one side, Kim then purposefully walked the few feet down the hall and though the swinging doors. Once she pushed through, Kim immediately saw her mom, dad, and her brothers, who all looked over at her as soon as she entered the all-white room. Quickly and gently she lay Ron's body down on the floor, and then ran over to hr mother and pulled down the gag that was tied over her mouth.

"Mom!" Kim exclaimed as she took her mother into a hug while tears ran down her cheeks. "Are you OK?" The younger red head gently ran a finger over the bruised side of her mother's face.

"Yes, Honey… I'm fine. It looks worse than it feels." Kim then started to untie her mom, but stopped when she heard Moriarty's voice directly behind her.

"Not yet Kimberly Anne… First things first." Turning around Kim locked her green eyes with the one person that she hated more than anything else in the world. "I need to confirm that Mr. Stoppable is truly dead." He then looked down and delivered a kick right into the side of Ron's Body, causing it to roll to one side.

"Stop it! He's dead! Can't you tell that by even looking at him?" Kim's eyes were wide with both anger and surprise, but neither her words nor facial expression had any affect on Moriarty. All he did in response was to use a foot to shove Ron's body back to its previous position.

Moriarty then stepped to a position that placed him directly over Ron's head. He closely watched the eyelids, looking for any kind of movement. Then without any warning, Moriarty pulled a small pistol out from inside his jacket, and fired a single shot directly between Ron's eyes.

"Noooo!" Both Kim and her mom screamed at the same time, and Kim's voice wavered as she spoke. "What have you done?" She had not expected this to happen.

"So Kimberly…" Moriarty said with almost grim satisfaction. "Maybe poor Ronald here wasn't really dead when you first brought him in? Is that why you have a look of shock on your face? Is that why the tears, that are at this very moment burning in your eyes, want to burst forth? Is that why you want to wail for your dead lover!" Moriarty almost screamed the last two words.

"You dare tried to pull another fast one on me Kimberly? You thought I would just accept that he was dead and turn your family over to you? Is that what you thought?" Moriarty went silent, and then closed his eyes. He appeared to be gathering his wits before continuing. "Yes… Ronald Stoppable is now truly dead, but it appears that I need to teach you a lesson to never, ever, try to double cross me!"

With a flick of his wrist, a four-inch blade slide out from a hidden pocket inside the sleeve of his coat, and Moriarty stomped over to Jim and Tim, brandishing the knife in front of them. "For your indiscretion Kimberly, you will lose one of your precious twin brothers! But as to who lives and who dies… that will be your decision! Who you choose matters not to me, just that you come up with a name. Will it be Jim… or Tim? I give you… five seconds to give me an answer!"

Kim's mind was whirling at this point. How had things go so wrong? This was supposed to be a simple trade… Ron's body for her family, and now she was being forced to decide which one of her brothers were to die? The sitch was almost too much for her to comprehend.

"I… I can't…" Kim was able to stutter out. "I can't decide… I won't…"

"Times a wasting Kimberly… If you don't chose one, it will be both! Will it be Jim, or Tim? Tic Toc Tic Toc… Four seconds… Three seconds… Time's running out! Who lives, who dies? Tell me… NOW!"

"I… I can't… I…" Tears were now running down Kim's cheeks. She had to give Moriarty a name. She had to tell Moriarty which of her brothers to kill, or she would lose both. Without thinking and without even realizing which name she yelled out, Kim finally blurted out the first name that came to her. "Jim!" She then squeezed her eyes shut so she wouldn't have to watch, and Kim also dropped her head in shame.

An evil smile crossed Moriarty's lips as he looked at the twin brothers. He knew which was which, as he had gotten the two to tell him when he first met them after their abduction. He stepped in front of Jim and adjusted his grip on the knife in his hand. Just as Moriarty raised the blade for an angular strike at the neck, another voice boomed through the speakers that he immediately recognized.

"Stop!" It was Ron Stoppable!

With wide eyes Moriarty looked over at Ron's body, expecting it to sit up, but it didn't. "What the… but he's… I shot…" For only the second time in Moriarty's pitiful life, he felt something almost alien to him. Fear.

And all Kim could do at this point in time… was smile.

To be continued… (And possibly concluded)

I'm such an evil author, aren't I?
