Kimberly ran out of Kaplan's office in tears. After being in a coma for 4 days, waking up to find out her life has been turned upside down. Kim ran to the park, she wasn't paying attention to where she is running, just how much pain she is in. Kimberly tripped over a rock.

"HOW MUCH IS ONE PERSON SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE!" Kim yelled as she lay on the ground.

Kim looked up to find she was surrounded by putties.

"Good, I can work out some of this anger I am feeling. Well putties if you want a piece of me, bring it on." Kim yelled.


At the High School

"We have to find her, Kim is self-destructive when she is upset; and she is beyond upset." Kevin told Tommy and Jason.

"Finding her won't do us any good if we can't fix this." Jason replied.

"So we find her and then what?" Tommy asked.

"In the next day or two I am going to lose my sisters. We can't fix this. We are just 15. Kim is going to get more self-destructive when she goes to her new home." Kevin answered.

"Let's find her first and deal with the rest of it when we cross that bridge." Tommy told them.


Tommy, Jason and Kevin split up to look for Kimberly. Tommy stopped by the hospital hoping that she did not land back in the hospital after she just got out. He ran into his parents at the reception desk.

"Shouldn't you be in school!" Michelle yelled.

"Have you seen Kimberly? She left the school really upset. Jason, Kevin and I are looking for her." Tommy answered.

"No, why is she upset." John asked.

"Kim and Kevin were called out of class for a meeting with their social worker. Kim took off right after the meeting. Kevin told Jason and I that his parents' rights were already terminated." Tommy began.

"That is horrible, but she is staying at the Scotts. She will be fine." Michelle interrupted.

"No she is not. The social worker is planning on separating the 3 of them and placing them in 3 different foster homes. That is why she took off. I have to find her." Tommy finished.

"I'm sorry to hear that, hasn't she been through enough for only being 15." John said sadly shaking his head.

Tommy saw that there were too many people around so he suggested going into Michelle's office so that they can talk freely.

"If this was Ranger related, we would handle it and move on. But it is not, it is some woman who doesn't even know Kimberly, Kevin and Tracey dictating on how they are supposed to live. She already took them away from their parents and now she plans on taking them away from each other. Kevin is worried Kim won't be able to handle this and I have to admit I am too. I would do anything for her; I just don't know what it is that I can do."

"Be there for her, I'm sure you and Jason would make sure you see her everyday at school and will try to see her on the weekends." Michelle told her son.

John was deep in thought and it seemed he wasn't even paying attention. He was thinking about Kimberly situation and what this could mean for her and her sister.

"Thomas, once Kimberly leaves the Scott's house. Pay close attention to her attitude towards things. If all of a sudden she is more distant or withdrawn, talk to her. Trust your instinct, if something about her seems off, than it probably is." John warned.

"What do you mean by that?" Tommy asked his dad.

"Nothing, just keep an eye on her. Now, she isn't here; try the park or something."

Michelle waited for her son to leave so she can question her husband.

"Mich, what do you say we take the 3 of them?" John offered.

"We have 5 kids we hardly see do to our crazy work schedules here at the hospital. How can we handle 3 more?" Michelle asked back as she and her husband left her office.

"With our help." Anita mentions as she and Peter walked up.

"We're sorry we didn't mean to eavesdrop, we were actually coming to talk about the situation." Peter explained.

"Within 48 hours the Hart children will be placed in 3 different homes. We just can't let that happen." Anita added.

"So what do you propose?" Michelle asked.

"That we find way to keep them." Anita replied.

"Yeah, but how? Will their Social Worker really allow it?" John asked even though not 5 minutes ago he was trying to figure out a way to adopt them.

"If we do it together, the 4 of us may stand a chance of adopting them." Peter answered.

"How? Our home isn't big enough for 13 people and neither is yours." Michelle answered.

"We have 48 hours to figure out the details. I will call Mrs. Wolfie and put a stop to her finding the kids a different home until we work out the details. That is of course if you 2 are willing." Anita said.

"If you can stop them from being taken away, then yes we will work out the details. Better make that call; we don't have much time if we don't want to lose them." Michelle answered.


Kim was fighting the putties when the other showed up to help.

"Looks like you can use some help!" Jason called.

By the time the fight was over Kim's arms were bleeding and raw from where she was stung by Scorpina. Her bandages were coming off.

"Kimberly, your arms; they are bleeding." Tommy exclaimed.

"They are fine. Don't bother taking me back to the hospital, I am fine. Besides, it doesn't matter. In a few days I will be another foster home and all alone." Kim replied sadly as she stared at the ground avoiding her boyfriend and best friend/big brother.
