"Kimberly…" Tommy whispered as he tossed and turned in his sleep. If the situation had been different, the dream might not have bothered him so much, but he had gone to sleep that night, knowing that she was captured. That had never sat well with him, he had always had problems being able to cope when she was not with him. Now, however, seemed almost worse than anything else that he could remember; it was like it was the first time again. He had not been able to prevent it and now he was facing the same fate. He wished for a life with her, he wished for things to go back to how they had been, but he didn't know if she would ever let that happen. She was just too stubborn.

"Tommy! Tommy wake up!" Hayley yelled as she shook the sleeping man. He was now muttering in his sleep, but refusing to wake up. They had found what he wanted to know, but it wouldn't make him happy. It was just the facts and hopefully they would be able to find a way around the facts, but right now they were just dealing with all the extra crap. "Tommy!"

"Let me try Hayley," Billy said as Hayley took a step back next to him and Billy looked down at his old communicator. He then pressed the button, but Tommy did not move at the sound of the communicator buzz, which seemed odd enough to him. "Tommy, Reefside's in trouble!"

"What's going on? Who's attacking us now?" Tommy asked as he jerked awake and found himself still in his bed. "That's not funny."

"You wouldn't wake up any other way," Billy said as he threw Tommy a t-shirt from one of his drawers and turned to walk back out of the room. "Come on, we've got news for you."

"Good or bad?" Tommy asked pulling on his t-shirt and then scooting out of bed. He was not sure that he even wanted to hear the news, but he would. He had no choice in the matter. He was going to have to hear it no matter what he did.

"Just news, nothing more, nothing less," Billy said as Tommy barely nodded. He did not like the fact that Billy was skirting around the question, but he would take anything that he could get right now. "You're lucky she's a strong woman, Tommy. She's been tortured for information about you, but hasn't given up anything, although she knows more than you think. But there is no way for us to get you inside, Tommy."

"Then how do I get to her?" Tommy asked as Hayley and Billy exchanged a glance before they looked at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with him. They knew he would ask and they also knew that he would hate their answer.

"You don't, they'll have to release her in their own due time," Billy said as Tommy glared over at him. It sounded like Billy had just given up on the search, which was something that was very unlike him. He was the kind of person that would never let a problem beat him. "We'll keep trying, but as of right now, we have nothing and it doesn't look likely that we'll find anything either."

"Come on, there must be another way," Tommy said as Billy and Hayley shook their heads no. They had double, even triple checked, but they could find no way to get him or the rangers in. For once they really could do nothing.

"Before you say it, we've tried everything. The best we can do is tell you not to worry about it; they'll let her go when they are ready," Billy said as Tommy glared at him.

"So, I'll get her back in box?" Tommy asked as Billy shook his head no.

"They'd have killed her by now if they thought that it would help. I don't think they will if they haven't already," Hayley said as Tommy stormed from the room, slamming the door on the way out. "He took that well."

"Yeah, almost too well," Billy murmured as they heard something upstairs crash and he grimaced. It sounded like Tommy was getting out his frustration on his furniture which was certainly much better than the two of them. "I take it back, he's taking this wonderfully."

"Are we going to tell the kids?" Hayley asked as Billy nodded his head yes. He did not exactly trust Tommy to do that right now without harming anyone.

"Eventually, right now I'm afraid that I need to call the others. They deserve to know the truth about what is going on," Billy said as Hayley nodded and he gently squeezed her shoulder. "She'll be fine, we just have to be careful."

"Careful, what do we have to be careful for?" Hayley asked as Billy looked down at her. After dealing with rangers for the past couple of years, she should have known what was coming next, but she didn't.

"To make sure that we don't become their next victims," Billy said as Hayley's eyes widened and Billy exited the room, leaving her with a bad feeling in her stomach. She did not like this choice, but none of them could lose Tommy, anymore than he could lose Kimberly.


"Are you ready now to tell us?" Mesogogg asked as the tears streamed from her swollen eyes as she inclined her head towards his voice.

"I know nothing, haven't you figure it out?" Kim fired back as Mesogogg ran his clawed hand down her side.

"He searches for you, you mean more than you know, so you must, in turn, know something valuable," Mesogogg said as Kim shook her head no. It comforted her to know that Tommy was looking, but that was Tommy, he would do this for any ranger that was missing.

"He'd do that for anyone," Kim said as Mesogogg pulled up a video. This might just change her mind.

"Would he do this to his home when he found out that he could not reach them?" Mesogogg asked as Elsa forced Kim to focus on the screen and her eyes widened. "You mean more to him, now bring him to me."

"You might as well kill me," Kim said as Mesogogg looked over at her. He could see the seriousness in her eyes and knew now, for the first time, that she was not going to give up any information on Tommy.

"You love him, don't you?" Mesogogg said as Kim looked away from him. "Oh, you do? Elsa, it is time that Mr. Oliver sees how she truly feels about him."
"You will not hurt him!" Kim growled as she pulled against her restraints in an attempt to attack Mesogogg.

"I don't plan to hurt him, I plan to kill him," Mesogogg whispered darkly as Elsa disappeared and Kim again began struggling. It was all he needed to see to know that she cared. "So dear Tommy it is."
