September 22 1996 Miami Florida 2:56 A.M. EST.
Kim was sitting in the apartment that she shared with her as she called him prison keeper, she was sitting in the living room as Jim slept away another boozed filled night.
It had been just over 2 months since the pan global's finished while she did compete she did not so as well as she had hoped when she left angel grove to train under coach Schmidt, she had won 2 silver and 1 bronze medal.
She had remembered that she was a wreck but tried her hardest hoping that Tommy and the others were watching her on TV, she sat there caressing the Silver falcon engraved bracelet on her wrist one of the few things that Jim had not taken from her and either hid or destroyed.
It was pretty much all she had left from home Jim had thrown away the white teddy bear that Tommy got her when she was in the hospital last, he had smashed her communicator watch not really knowing what it was.
Tonight he had gotten angry that she was still wearing the bracelet she had normally kept it hidden from him she had forgotten to remove before he got home tonight.
Of course tonight was not unlike most nights when he would go out after work with his friends and come home shit faced he would get angry at her for something and beat the hell out of her and have his way with her.
This time however Kim had enough of the torture tonight he had pushed the line he had brought one of his friends home and had offered her to him but she refused, this had angered Jim a lot he beat her relentlessly.
Kim had a black eye her ribs were sore as hell she was sure her wrist was sprained at least if not broken, but the worst part of it was when Jim's friend found out she refused to sleep with him he kicked her twice while she was on the ground.
Finally after a hour of the beatings they both passed out Kim thanking god that they were too drunk to continue, she had it all planed out she quietly packed her things what she had left anyway, she then walked over to Jim's pants and grabbed his wallet and removed all the cash from it and then did the same to his friend she knew it was wrong to take the money but if she had any hope of getting away she had no choice.
She quietly walked out the door of their 15'th floor apartment and made her way to the lobby of the complex and hailed a cab to take her to the grey hound station she knew if she flew he would have a way to track her, the bus was safer since they were not as strict as airline's were.
As she paid the driver and got out of the cab she counted the money she had. "400 Dollars I hope that is enough to get home with." Kim said to herself as she walked up to the ticket counter.
"May I help you?" The lady behind the counter asked her.
"Yes I would like to get a one way ticket to Angel grove California." Kim asked.
"Ok that will be $650.00." The woman answered.
Kim's face now flush with disappointment she did not have enough. "How close will $300.00 get me?"
"You like hell sweetie I can get you to Denver for $250.00 that is the best I can do without losing my job." The clerk responded.
Kim knowing she had no other choice took the ticket and went to wait for the half hour before the bus boarded. "Tommy I am coming home handsome I just hope you will forgive me for being weak." Kim thought to herself.
After a half hour she boarded the bus knowing she had a long way to go but hoping that once she got to Denver that she could find a cheaper mode of transportation the rest of the way.
Angel grove Community College 8:30 A.M.
It was early morning as the gang filed into the dining hall of their college to get some breakfast before their classes began for the day, Tommy and Jason were the last 2 to sit down he was looking a lot better than he had looked before the games, but was still missing Kim more than anything.
"So you guys think we can go a day without Divatox attacking us at all?" Jason asked his friends as they started laughing.
"I sure hope so it will give me time to tweak your zords a bit without distraction." Billy said as everyone laughed leave it to Billy to use his spare time to work on the Turbo Zords.
"Come Billy it's a beautiful day out no need to be stuck in the Zords bay all day." Trini stated to her best friend.
"Well I don't know about the rest of you guys but me Jase and Adam are trying out for the Martial arts Tournament they are having in 1 week in Las Vegas." Tommy said smiling.
"I really hope you guys make it I just wish I could be there to help you guys out more." Rocky said.
"You do a great job as our manager Rocko." Adam said.
"Yea true I just wish I could fight but the doctors stated it was gonna at least be another 3 months before I fully heal." Rocky said to his friends.
"Hey no worries man you will do great managing us and beside you get more time to enjoy the all you can eat buffet's there." Jason said to him as Rocky's eyes lit up at the mention of endless supply of food.
Adam noticing his friend's reaction just laughed. "You know Rocko I don't what it is with you and eating all the time." Adam said between laughs.
"Hey I'm a growing boy." Rocky said with a large smile.
"You keep eating like that and the only that will be growing will be your gut." Jason said laughing.
Rocky gave Jason a dirty look, they had finished eating breakfast and headed to their classes today would be an easy day they all had two classes each.
Later that afternoon Jason, Tommy, and Adam had tried out and made the cut for the Tournament.
"All right all you can buffets here I come." Rocky shouted out when the announcement was made that the guys would be competing.
Everyone all at once smacked Rocky upside the head playfully. "You guys are just jealous that I can eat like that and you can't." Rocky said with a large smirk on his face everyone just looked at him and laughed.
Sept 25 1996 Denver Colorado 9:25 A.M. MST
Kim had gotten off the bus at the final stop of her ticket she was a wreck her body was wracked with pain and she was starving, she decided to get something to eat before she figured out how to get the rest of the way home.
She walked up to a little diner when she walked in she was seated she ordered her food and started reading a newspaper, she noticed an article about a martial arts tournament in Las Vegas that was featuring some local fighters.
As she read the article as it was naming off all the competitors she noticed 3 names that stuck out Jason Lee Scott, Adam Park and Thomas Oliver, that was it that was her big break all she needed to do was get to Vegas in 3 days.
After she ate her meal and paid her bill she counted her money she had $110.00 left hopefully that was enough to get her to Vegas she walked up to the counter .
"Excuse me miss how much would it be for me to get a one way ticket to Las Vegas?" Kim asked.
"That would cost with tax's and fee's $75.99." The woman said.
"I will take one when does the next bus leave?" Kim asked getting excited that she might finally get to safety and to her Tommy.
"5 Hours miss and it will arrive in Las Vegas after making several stops in 3 and half days." The woman said as she printed up Kim's ticket.
"Damn talk about cutting it close but I am so close to them I can't let anything stop me now." Kim thought to herself as she took the ticket and went to sit in the waiting area.
Miami Florida Jim's Apartment.
Jim was pacing around he did not know what he was more pissed about her taking off or her taking his money he needed to get her back she belonged to him not those losers.
He finally thought of something and walked over to his phone and picked it up.
"Thank you for calling the Miami-Dade Police department this call is being recorded how I can help you." The Operator on the phone stated.
"Yes I would like to report a robbery." Jim said back in the receiver with a smile on his face and he knew just were to send them after her.
Sept 28 1996 Las Vegas Grey hound bus station 8:30 P.M. PST.
Kim got off her bus her pain had gotten worse as the bus ride went on she was sure that her ribs were actually broken and not bruised, but she was gonna fight through the pain till she found Tommy.
She was worried though the Tournament finished an hour ago she was just hoping that she would find them before they went back to Angel grove.
She walked out of the bus station to get a cab she would use the last of her money to get to the hotel where the competition was being held that was her only hope, when out of nowhere a guy ran up and grabbed her purse, Kim tried to fight back to keep it but the guy was not going to give up and kicked her in the stomach.
Once Kim hit the ground he hit her in the head and dug out her money and dropped the purse at her feet and took off, she just laid there with no one even so much as asking if she was ok.
After a few minutes Kim struggled to her feet and started walking towards downtown Las Vegas, she walked for about 40 minutes the pain in her body was overwhelming to the point she was not sure she was going to make it to her destination she was limping heavily and her ribs seared with pain.
She all of a sudden rounded a corner and noticed 4 men walking one in red another in blue one in green and another wearing black, she tried to hobble over to them when she collapsed again they had not noticed her.
She looked up and saw that they were her friends. "Tommy!" She tried to yell but she was short of breath and found it hard to yell she did everything in her power to get them to notice her till the pain finally over took her and she passed out swearing she heard someone yell her name.
Jason's, Tommy's, Adam's and Rocky's point of view.
Tommy and the guys were leaving the hotel to tour downtown Vegas a bit they still had 2 days here till they had to head home and they wanted to enjoy it, they were in a great mood they had just come in 1st at the tournament and were in the mood to celebrate.
They kept walking down the street talking about random things when Rocky noticed something. "Hey guys what's that over there?" Rocky asked as he pointed over to the girl that was barely able to stand.
Rocky took a close look at her before she collapsed on the ground when all of a sudden it hit him he recognized who it was. "Oh my god that's Kim!" Rocky said.
This caught Tommy and Jason's attention as they looked over as she collapsed the two ran over as if the hounds of hell were on their asses. "KIMMM!" They both yelled as they got to her she was passed out.
Jason did a quick look over and did not like what he saw. "Tommy she looks like she has been in a fight." Jason said.
"We have to get her to a hospital fast Jase." Tommy said as Jason nodded and Adam dialed 911 from his cell phone.
Las Vegas Hospital 11:15 P.M. PST.
The ambulance had rushed Kim to the E.R. and the guys sat in the waiting room waiting for the doctor to come out.
Jason and tommy both were pacing back and forth when all of a sudden the doors opened and out walked the doctor.
"Are you the gentlemen that found her?" The doctor asked.
"Yes we are Dr. How is she?" Jason asked.
"I am sorry sir but I need to contact her family first and you guys seemed to know her from the info you gave." The doctor stated.
This seemed to aggravate Jason as he just glared at the Doctor. "We are her family that is my little sister in there i want to know what is wrong with her and I want to know NOW!" Jason screamed at the doctor.
"I am sorry Mr. Scott I was not aware you were family very well then she has a mild concussion two broken ribs a broken wrist and her nose is broken but here is the problem the nose fracture is at least 2 weeks old I also found signs of prolonged assault with various broken bones healed over and she appears to have been raped in the last week or so." The Dr. said as Tommy just stopped short of pacing and stared at the Dr.
"Raped did you say raped Dr.?" Tommy asked.
"Yes sir it looks like this women has been through hell and back and it looks like her medical treatment for the past injuries was very shoddy like it was hidden." The Doctor said.
"Will she be ok Doc?" Rocky asked.
"She is resting at the moment as far as her physical injuries she will be ok but I am unsure how she will be mentally how did none of you know of this happening to her?" The Dr. asked.
"To be truthful Dr. It has been almost a year since we have seen her she was in Florida training for the Pan global games, she stopped contact with us till tonight when we found her." Tommy explained leaving out the part of her breaking up with him.
"Ok well I will forward her rape kit I did to the Las Vegas police they are gonna want to talk to her when she wakes up." The doctor said.
"May we see her?" Jason asked.
"Yes but only 2 of you no more than that you can stay with her till she wakes." The doctor stated.
"You 2 go see her be with her when she wakes up me and Adam will go back to the hotel keep us updated we will call everyone back home." Rocky stated as he and Adam left.
Tommy and Jason walked into the room and tommy sat right down next to her as she lay there sleeping Tommy seeing the black eyes from the broken nose swearing that he would find who did this to her and make him pay with Jason muttering something like he would be there to help.
"Hey beautiful I'm here." Tommy said to her as he kissed her forehead.
Kim's eyes groggily opened as she had a massive headache from the concussion she looked up and saw Tommy and reached up and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh Tommy please I am so sorry please forgive me I never wanted to hurt you." Kim started rambling.
"It's ok Kim I do forgive but you need rest." Tommy said wiping a tear away from her face.
"No you can't leave me please you 2 have to stay with me please." Kim begged.
Tommy noticing she was frightened nodded his head. "Me and Jase will stay at your side we will not let anything happen to you Kim you need rest." Tommy said as he kissed her forehead again.
Kim smiled and rubbed his cheek she looked over at Jason and smiled at him before drifting back off to sleep thinking that she was now safe she had him White Knight and big brother there to protect her.

"Well then we will find out what is going on tomorrow when we talk to her that poor woman looks like she has been through the ringer she may have tried to escape from an abusive boyfriend." The second officer stated.
The other officer nodded as they continued on with his work but then stopped and picked up his phone.
