September 29 1996 Las Vegas Hospital 9:30 A.M. PST
Tommy and Jason were sitting in Kim's hospital room as Kim was resting they were discussing what they thought was going on with Kim.
"I feel so stupid right now Jase why the hell did I not go down to Florida when I got the letter, why did I let this happen to her." Tommy was rambling on.
Jason just looking at his brother in all but blood and placed his hand on his shoulder knowing that the all famous Oliver guilt complex was in full strength.
"Look bro we were all shocked by this letter she sent but it's not your fault this happened to her man you need to stop blaming yourself." Jason said to him.
"Yea but if I went down there this would have never happened." Tommy said.
"Listen to me Tom we cannot change the past all we can do now is make sure she is safe so please stop beating yourself up over this the only person to blame here is the person that did this to her." Jason stated to Tommy.
Tommy just looked at him and as he was about to respond they noticed Kim waking up, they both walked over to her.
"Ughhh where am I? Tommy?" Kim asked groggily.
"Kim please do not over exert yourself." Tommy said to her with a worried look on his face.
"Tommy, Jason is it really you guys oh god then I wasn't dreaming then." Kim said with a small smile on her face.
"No it wasn't shrimp it's us in the flesh you really scared us last night." Jason said.
"Oh god you don't know how happy I am that you guys are here." Kim said.
"Yes we are here Kim and we will be here for you no matter what." Tommy said as he placed his hand on her cheek only to have Kim recoil back.
"Don't Tommy I don't deserve your kindness anymore after what I did." Kim said as she just looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
"Hey beautiful I told you last night I forgive you if anyone is in the wrong I am for not coming to you as soon as I got that letter it's my fault that you are in this condition." Tommy said.
Kim was about to say something back when Jason interrupted them both. "Both of you knock it off Tommy I already told you that you are not to blame for this, Kim me and Tommy are here for you no matter what we are not going to abandon you just because of a stupid letter." Jason stated to the both of them.
Kim and Tommy just stared at Jason realizing that there friend is right in some way Kim was about to speak again when the Dr. walked into the room.
"Ah Ms. Hart it is good to see your awake, how are you feeling." The Dr. asked.
"I feel like I have been run over." Kim said.
"Well as I told your brother and friend here you have 2 broken ribs a broken wrist as well as a fractured nose and a mild concussion, I also noticed that you show signs of rape." The Dr. explained.
Kim just listened as the Dr. went on. "I have forwarded the rape kit to the Las Vegas police department as per hospital policy, there is a police officer here that would like to talk to you if you are up to it." The Dr. said to her.
Kim now very frightened just shook her head no at the mention of the police wanting to talk to her.
The officer standing outside her room went to go in as he heard the Dr. tell her that he needed to speak with her, as he walked in he noticed that she shook her head no but he went in anyway.
"Sorry Dr. But she really does not have a choice on this she will speak with me whether she wants me to or not." The officer stated.
"I am sorry officer but if she does not feel up to it then I will not allow it." The Dr. stated standing between the cop and Kim.
"Doctor I will only say this once move out of my way or I will arrest you for obstruction." The officer said.
"I will not have you make a scene in this E.R. sir if you do this you do this against the will of my patient, I will be filing a grievance with your Captain." The Dr. stated.
"Yea you do that doctor and see how far it gets you." The officer said arrogantly.
With that the doctor stormed out of the room, the officer walked up to Kim with Tommy and Jason glaring at him.
"Gentlemen I will ask that you leave this room so that I may speak to Ms. Hart." The officer ordered.
Kim on hearing this latched on to Tommy's arm with a very frightened look on her face. "If it all the same to you officer we will be staying with her." Jason said glaring at the officer.
"Very well but you are not to interfere with my questioning if you do I will not only have you removed I will arrest you for obstructing a police investigation." The officer stated.
Tommy and Jason just nodded in response to the officer's orders still not completely trusting him at all.
"Ms. Hart I am officer Lannings of the Las Vegas police department I am here to ask you a few questions on the rape kit we received from the hospital." Lannings stated.
Kim just nodded her head. "Well there is a problem with it, I do not believe you were raped." The officer said.
Kim now more scared than before, tears started falling from her eyes Tommy sat there wrapping his arms around Kim to comfort her as Jason moved towards the officer.
"What do you mean that you do not believe that she was raped?" Jason said as he got up in the officers face angry at him for the accusation against Kim.
"Sir you better think twice before you try anything assaulting an officer is a felony, and I believe that she lied about the rape to hopefully escape the charges against her." The officer spat back at Jason as they were staring eye to eye now.
"Jase calm down bro." Tommy said as Jason backed away from the officer towards Kim.
"What do you mean charges against her?" Tommy asked.
"Well Ms. Hart here has charges against her in Miami for drugging her fiancé and robbing him and a friend of his." the officer stated.
Kim at this point buried her head into Tommy's chest crying her eyes out. "I highly doubt that she did that and second she said nothing of getting raped the Dr. found evidence of rape when he examined her last night, she is showing signs of abuse and neglect and you have the audacity to sit here and say she is the criminal." Tommy yelled at the officer as he tried to comfort Kim.
"Well I did a background check there have been no reports of assault or abuse by Ms. Hart in Florida at all so I highly doubt that is the case, but due to the fact that there is a felony warrant for her arrest out of Miami I will be placing her under arrest on the warrant and will have her transferred to the prison ward here at the Hospital." The officer stated as he walked towards Kim with his cuffs in his hand.
Kim on seeing those recoiled in fear and started screaming, the doctor hearing the screaming ran into the room to see Kim curled up on her bed while the officer was trying to grab her to cuff her to the bed.
Tommy and Jason were trying to move in between the officer and Kim with no luck the doctor made a motion to a nurse who picked up the phone.
"Officer you lay one hand on my patient and I will have you charged with assault you will leave this room now and not return." The doctor ordered.
"Sorry doc that is not going to happen she is under arrest for felony larceny and domestic assault she is to be chained to her bed and transferred to the prison ward immediately." The officer ordered.
The doctor now seething with anger. "I will do no such thing my patient is in no condition to be restrained or confined you will leave this room now." The doctor ordered.
"Very well doctor you leave me no choice but to place you under arrest for obstruction of justice." The officer stated as he moved towards the doctor now.
Just as he was about to grab the doctors arm to restrain him 4 security guards walked into the room. "Sir I will ask that you leave the hospital now or we will remove you from the premises with force if we have to." One guard stated.
Officer Lannings looked up at the security guard and laughed. "Who are you rent a cop to tell me what to do this is an official police investigation you have no right to remove me at all." Lannings stated.
"Yes we do have the right officer we have contacted your station mind telling me why you are here alone since we were told you were to be here with your senior partner." The guard asked.
"He was not feeling well so I told him I would handle it now you will move her to the prison ward and confine her." Lannings ordered.
The doctor and the security guards just stood there in defiance of the officer.
"You want her moved and confined you get a court order to do so otherwise get the hell out of my E.R. this woman has been through a traumatic experience and you want to make it worse you make me sick to my stomach." The doctor spat at Lannings.
The guards walked over and 2 of them grabbed each of Lannings arms to remove him. "Very well I will get the court order and as for Ms. Hart her fiancé has been notified and he is on his way here I am sure that he will pressing charges on her so she better be ready to be moved to the prison ward when I get back with that court order." Lannings stated as he walked out of the room.
"I am sorry you had to deal with that Ms. Hart as your doctor I will help you in any way possible there is no need for you to be put through all this but I need you to answer me a few questions if you can. The doctor asked her.
Kim looking scared just looked at Tommy who nodded his head. "It's alright Kim tell him what he needs to know me and Jase will be here for you no matter what. Tommy explained.
Kim looked back at the doctor. "Ok what do you need to know Dr.?" Kim asked him.
"Well first Kim I can tell that you have been raped and abused do you mind telling me how long this has gone on for?" The doctor asked.
"June 22 is the first time he raped me." Kim said nervously as she hung on to Tommy's arm.
"That was 3 months ago Ms. Hart why did you not go to the police about this." The doctor asked.
"I was afraid I was scared and I was alone down there the only real friend I had down there had been kicked off the team and sent home, I was afraid of what might happen to me if I did run to the police or to coach Schmidt." Kim said with tears falling down her face.
"I understand Ms. Hart and I am not here to judge you at all i just want to help you." The doctor stated.
"Now how many times has he raped and beaten you." The doctor asked.
Kim still crying and clinging to Tommy. "Look doc I know you want to help her and everything but I don't think she is ready to answer all of these questions." Tommy said.
"No Tommy I need to get this out." Kim said.
She then went on to explain what had transpired before the letter and what Jim had done to her a week later, she then went into detail on how he pretty much tried to control her life and had her living in fear for the last 3 months, she also explained that when she did get injured he kept her from the hospital as much as possible, by having a relative that was a military doctor patch her up when things got too serious.
She then explained what had happened the night she ran away from Jim. "I waited for him and his friend to pass out when they did I packed everything I had left which was not much at all and took his money and his friends money from their wallets and left." Kim explained.
Tommy and Jason just looked at her in amazement. "I know it was wrong taking their money like that but if I didn't I would not have had any way out of Miami he got rid of all my stuff the only thing I had left was the cloths on my back and my bracelet." Kim said as she showed them her bracelet.
"Well Ms. Hart I am sorry to hear all that and I will make sure that you are well taken care of here by the way my name is Dr. Michael Stone." The doctor stated.
"Thank you doctor Stone." Was all that Kim said.
"Also i will have security standing at your door no one without your permission will be allowed in." The doctor said as Kim looked up at him and smiled.
"Thank you doctor for everything." Jason said as he walked over and shook Dr. Stone's hand.
"It was my pleasure sir I will do all I can to help I had to watch my Cousin go through this with her first husband and it is not a pretty picture, I do have one question though where will she be going once we discharge her." Dr. Stone asked.
"She will come back with us to Angel grove so we can look after her." Jason said.
"She is lucky to have friends like you guys and if you want I can put you in touch with my brother back in Angel grove he can help with the police side of all this there." The doctor stated.
"That would be great doctor." Jason said.
"She is also going to need counseling as well the way she is clinging to your friend there suggests that she is not going to be very trusting I can only imagine the mental trauma she has suffered." The Dr. said.
"We will make sure she gets it Dr. thank you for everything, also when do you think she would be able to go home?" Jason asked.
"I will want to keep her here at least 2 more nights due to the concussion after that I do not see a problem discharging her if there is nothing else wrong with her." Dr. Stone explained as he got up to leave.
"Thank you Dr." Kim said as she smiled a bit.
After the doctor left Kim just looked up at Tommy and started crying. "I am so sorry Tommy i never meant to hurt you ever, but I was too weak to stop this from happening to me." Kim cried out.
Tommy wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead. "Listen beautiful you did nothing wrong at all you got that you did nothing you are not weak you are one of the strongest people I know." Tommy said to her as he tried to comfort her.
"Yes I did I let him do that to me I stopped fighting him I just gave in, I was a fucking power ranger Tommy I was able to beat giant monsters but not one guy I was too weak to stop him and I gave in I don't deserve you or Jason's kindness I cut you guys out. Tommy I broke your heart I hurt you all for some stupid pipe dream." Kim cried.
"Kim your dream was not stupid and I now understand why you wrote me the letter I will not say it didn't hurt but I forgive you Kim, and I and Jase are going to help you through all of this." Tommy said as he hugged her.
Kim tried to push herself away from Tommy but could not as she just sat there and cried in his chest. "No I don't deserve you, I was selfish and that was my punishment for it." Kim said.
Tommy looked at Jason with confusion. "What do you mean Kim you did nothing wrong this man beat and raped you he tortured you pretty much no one no matter what deserves that kind of treatment for wanting to follow their dreams Kim, I am going to stay by your side and help you we all are and we are doing it because we care about you we love you Kim, GODDAMNIT I LOVE YOU!" Tommy stated.
Kim just looked him in the eyes when a glint of light caught her eye she noticed that he still had his bracelet on. "You're still wearing it?" Kim asked.
"I never stopped Kim like the engraving says together forever in body and soul." Tommy said with a smile on his face.
Kim started to hug Tommy back she nestled her head in the crook of his neck. "Thank you Tommy thank you for never giving up on me." Kim said.
Jason and Tommy looked at her in confusion. "Why would you think I gave up on you Kim?" Tommy asked.
Kim then laid back on the bed and cleared her throat. "I started having these night mares about a month back and they scared me more than anything." Kim said.
"What kind of nightmares Kim?" Jason asked.
Kim started to explain the nightmares to the 2 men.
Flashback .
"Well well the pink ranger finally decided to join us about time you got here what were you doing screwing around with another guy again to care if we needed you or not?" A familiar voice asked.
Kim looked at the source of the voice and saw Tommy standing there when all of a sudden she heard another voice. "Now bro why would she come all the way here to tell you that when she could have just sent a letter like she did last time." This time the voice belonged to Jason.
"What are you guys talking about?" Kim asked not understanding what's going on at all.
"Your right as always Jase she is too weak to tell me to my face isn't she so tell us slut why are you here huh somebody slap you around again and you're too weak to handle it yourself?" Tommy harshly asked her.
"Guys what are talking about Tommy I thought we moved past this already why you saying such things."Kim said with tears starting to well up in her eyes not knowing why they are acting this way.
"So is that what happened eh Kim you too weak to handle your own problems you know I just don't understand how Zordon made a weakling like you a ranger anyway, you were just a hindrance to the team." Jason yelled in her face as he turned his head and spat on the ground.
"You're right again bro how many times she let herself get kidnapped by Zedd, Your just in the way here Kim why don't you go find yourself a new toy to play with you weak little whore!" Tommy screamed in her face.
At this point Kim was brought to tears as she fell to her knees and Screamed. "WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS TO ME WHY PLEASE DON"T DO THIS TO ME PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP.
"Yea that's right Kim you need our help like always cause your too weak to handle it yourself just like you were too weak to tell Tommy to his face why you wrote the letter in the first place, huh cause like I said Kim always weak always in the way now get out of here you are just in the way!" Jason yelled at her and turned his back on her.
"Here take this with you I have no use for things from a woman who would tear out my heart and stomp on it like you did bitch!"Tommy yelled as he threw a silver bracelet on the ground in front of her, Kim picked it up and looked at it, it was the bracelet she gave to him on the Christmas before she sent the letter to him. She remembers it well she had it specially made for him to remember her by while she was in Florida training.
Kim started balling her eyes out as she looked up to see the two most important men in her life walk away from her, she just sat there on her knees crying when all of a sudden she just screamed out his name.
"TOMMY NO! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE PLEASE TOMMY NO!"she screamed but he just kept walking away.
She did not know what to do now she just sat there crying. "Please don't abandon me please." Then all of a sudden she just looked up into the sky and with every fiber in her being screamed "TOMMY HELP ME PLEASE!" Then she just fell flat on floor face down and out for the count not being able to handle it anymore.
End Flashback.
"I would wake up in a cold sweat every time." Kim said as she started crying again.
Tommy wrapped his arms around her as Jason placed his hand on her shoulder. "Kim why would you think we abandoned you like that?" Jason said.
"Every time Jim would get drunk he always would say that you guys would never help me that I was a slut and I was weak and that no one would help me cause they would be disgusted in me, so with him saying that to me all the time I started having nightmares on what would happen if I came to you guys for help." Kim said sadly.
"Listen Kim you are my little sister I would never abandon you ever and I know Tommy would never either." Jason said.
"Jase is right Kim I love you I would do anything for you but I would never abandon you ever." Tommy said as he kissed her forehead, Kim just smiled back at him.
"Now get some rest me and Jase will be here for you if you need anything." Tommy said as Kim laid back down the pain killers she was given for her injuries finally kicking in.
Las Vegas International Airport.
Jim walks out of the airport terminal and gets into a cab, he tells the driver to take him to a hotel and drives away.
