Chapter 3

Matt, Jackie and Inez were asking Kim simple, basic questions on their way back to Control Central. After all, Kim did say that they could ask any question.

"What's your favorite color?" Matt asked.

"Blue." Kim responded.

"What's your favorite song?" Jackie asked.

"Just the Way I Am by Skye Sweetnam." Kim replied.

"What's your favorite school subject?" Inez asked.

"Um… I'm homeschooled, but I'd have to say science." Kim said.

"What's your favorite movie?" Matt asked.

"The Breakfast Club."

"What are the things you're best at?" Jackie asked.

"Machinery, computers, and dancing."

"I didn't know you danced." Jackie said.

"Oh yeah, I've been doing it since I was… Weird, I can't remember." Kim said.

"Favorite book?" Inez asked.

"Thirteen Reasons Why." Kim started that book a couple days after Hacker kidnapped her and Slider. Kim is on the third chapter, having read the first three in that day. It was too good to put down.

"How about your favorite animal?" Matt asked.

"Can I use mythology?" Kim asked.

"Yes." the red-head responded.

"Then it would be a Phoenix," she said. "Honestly, how many questions do you kids have?"

"How many things don't we know about you?" Matt asked.

"Um…" Kim started counting on her fingers.

'Let's see, what don't they know that I can tell them?'

"You can't be serious, Kim." Jackie said when Kim got past ten.

"Well, they're a lot of things I can't tell you." Kim said as she put her hand away. "But I think that there is a few things that I can say."

"Like what?" Inez asked.

"I study escaping from bounds, I basically know everyone you guys know, I like help to people, this cybercoop used to be mine, I play with a rubber band to help me think, and- hello beautiful." Kim said with her eyes focused on something floating in Cyberspace a few cyberyards away.

"What are you looking at?" Jackie asked.

Kim flew closer to the object. "A power supply box with wires attached to it, and a very rare one I might add. I've been looking for one of these babies everywhere."

Kim pushed a button and a grabber came out of the coop and Kim used it to try and grab the box.

Just as she was about to grab it, a claw came out of nowhere and took it. As it retracted, Kim and the rest of the team saw that it was attached to the Grim Wreaker. Kim retraced her grabber and flew off in defeat with muttering, "Damn Hacker."

"Kim, you're not going to go after Hacker?" Matt said.

"Nope." she replied.

"Why not?" he asked.

"I'll steal it later." Kim responded.

"So, what was it about you saying that this was your coop?" Jackie asked.

"Well, my cybercoop was finished about a month after you kids came into Cyberspace, until then this was my coop." Kim explained.

"How do we know this was your coop?" Matt asked.

"I've been wanting you kids to ask that." Kim said as she smiled. She opened the horn of the steering wheel and pressed a button. The windshield turned black and the dashboard turned into a keyboard as the steering wheel folded into the dashboard, and her seat was pushed forward to the keyboard. The screen asked for the password. Kim typed it in. "I really should transfer this to my coop." she said as she started typing madly.

"What are you doing?" Jackie asked.

"I am hacking into my laptop that's in my room." Kim said as the screen said: 'Username' and 'Password.'

"Are you on your laptop right now?" Matt asked.

"Yes." Kim responded.

"What's your username and password?" he asked.

"I'm not going to tell you." Kim said.

"What if it's an emergency?" Matt added.

"Fine. My username is: I won't say. And my password is: Don't even bother." Kim said as she started to type.

USERNAME: iwontsay

PASSWORD: dontevenbother

Kim smiled as she hit enter. She typed madly again and opened a new folder: Cybercoop. Typing some more, Kim was able to download all her cybercoop computer data to her laptop.

Kim hit enter and everything turned back to normal.

"Proof enough for you?" Kim asked sarcastically.

"I don't know how to respond to that." Matt said.

"Well, good. I like to surprise people." Kim said.

The team finally arrived at Control Central. They all walked into the control room where Motherboard greeted them.

"Welcome back, cybersquad." she said.

"Hey, Mother-B." Jackie said.

"How was R-Fair City?" Motherboard asked.

"Awesome like always." Matt replied.

"Yep, so do you kids wanna go home, or do you wanna stay here and hang out?" Kim asked.

"Home please." Jackie said.

"Okay." Kim said as she started typing on the control panel. "One portal coming up."

"You know, Kim, you could come hang out with us on Earth." Matt said.

"I'm not going back. And you already know that." Kim said as the portal appeared.

The kids started walking toward it, but Kim stopped them. "Hey, if you guys need anyone to talk to, you can always come to me."

The three nodded before hopping in the portal. Kim watched as it closed, than she started walking out of the room. The sliding doors opened only for her to unexpectedly walk into Digit who flew right into her forehead.

"Ow!" she said as she rubbed it. It started to hurt again.

"Sorry, Kim." Digit said.

"It's fine, Dige." Kim said before walking off.

Digit was a bit shocked from her response. He thought Kim would still be mad at him, yet she was calm.

Kim got to her room and walked straight to her kitchen. She opened the freezer and pulled out an ice pack and a bottle of water out of the fridge. She then walked over to her computer station and sat down in her chair. Kim put the ice pack on her head trying to soothe it, until she felt the frost melt from it.

"Oh, great." she said as she watched her legs turn into an orange tail.

Kim put the icepack down and opened the water bottle. Taking a sip of it, she put the icepack back on her head. Kim noticed a small white card on her landline; she picked it up knowing what it was. Kim grabbed the phone and used her cheek and shoulder to hold the phone the used her free hand to dial the number. After a few rings she got a hold of someone.

"Yes, Dr. Carrie. Hi, it's me Kim, I was wondering if you were open tomorrow." – "Yes." – "Okay." – "Got it, thank you."

The next day… In R-Fair City…

All right, Kim. I'm just going to ask you some questions." Dr. Carrie said.

"Didn't we do that last time I came in here?" Kim asked.

"Yes, but this time we are going to go more in depth since you are willing this time." Dr. Carrie said.

Kim nodded.

"Okay, so why are you here?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"My friend sent me here, he thinks I need help." Kim responded.

"Do you agree with him?"

"Yes, I do now."

"Okay, so what do you need help with?"

"My nightmares. Almost every night I have one, but I can't remember what they are about."

"When did these nightmares start?"

"I can't remember. About 3 or 4 years ago, I guess."

"Is there anything else that you find odd about yourself?"

"No… Well, I guess there is this one thing." Kim said.

"What is it?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"It's just that… If I'm in a high place like a rooftop or something, and I look down, I get all-dizzy. There was one time when I even fainted; thankfully Digit was there to catch me. But the ironic part is that, I'm not afraid of heights." Kim explained.

"Were you afraid of heights when you were little?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"I might have been, but even if I was I wouldn't go up there." Kim said.

"Kim, how well is your memory?"

"The memory like how you remember equations, skills, and other things, or the memory that remembers the past?" she asked.

"The past." Dr. Carrie replied.

"Well, I remember parts of when I was 3, 4, 5, and 6."

"Completely normal for someone your age."

"Then I can remember from now back until I was around 9, 8 maybe."

"Can you remember anything between 6 and 8?"

Kim shook her head.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." Dr. Carrie implied.

"It's like I can remember to a certain point then it's all a big nothing."

"Okay, do you watch crime shows?"

"Yes…"

"So, you know what a cognitive interview is?" Dr. Carrie asked. *

"Yes… wait a second, is that what you're going to do to me?" Kim asked.

"I am. All I need you to do is to relax and close your eyes."

Kim did so.

"Let's start from when you were six. How far can you remember until that point where it's all nothing."

"About a month."

"A month from when?"

"When I came into Cyberspace."

"Okay, picture yourself a month after coming into Cyberspace. Where are you?"

"At Slider's garage. He's teaching me how to skateboard."

"And how was that?"

"Hard at first, then Slider helped me, I almost fell, but he caught me."

"How did you feel during the entire thing?"

"I was happy, scared of falling off, made me feel like I needed more practice."

"Okay, so what happed next?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"I got the hang of skateboarding, so Slider and I went skating around the park."

"Can you remember anything else?"

"No…" Kim started to panic. It didn't work.

"Okay, just stay relaxed. Let's try going back from now. Try to remember the big parts in your life."

"I remember my 12th birthday, when I joined the cybersquad. Before that, Motherboard's system went haywire and I fixed it. Then my 11th birthday."

"You're doing great. Try to focus more on the next two years."

"I started to help Lucky with the kidnapping crimes in R-Fair City"– 'I turned into a fish.' – "My 10th birthday. Then about 4 months before, I started a secret project. 3 months before, I finished building my cybercoop. I took Slider with me for a test run. I had a blast… Slider got a little scared. A month before, Hacker infected Motherboard with the virus and the cybersquad came in. 3 months before, I remember meeting Digit for the first time. I thought he was an intruder because I knew he worked for Hacker, so I grabbed him by the beck and brought him to Motherboard. Then I remember my 9th birthday… I-I can't remember anything else."

"Okay, try to focus on your 9th birthday. Where are you at the end of the day?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"Control Central. Slider just dropped me off." Kim said.

"From where?"

"R-Fair City. We went together."

"Okay, go back to R-Fair City with your friend; what was the last thing you two did?"

"We were walking back to the coop so we could go home. We came from the Farris Wheel… I can't remember anything."

"Okay, just go back to the Farris Wheel. How did you feel?"

"Happy. Relaxed. The ride ended and we're getting out. I can't remember anything behind that."

"Kim, just keep your eyes closed. I'm going to hand you a pencil and a notepad." Dr. Carrie said as she did. Kim grabbed it. "Now I want you to concentrate on from when you were 6 to your 9th birthday. If you can remember anything, even the smallest thing, write it down."

Kim took a deep breath before she thought. Going into her mind, she came up with nothing. Kim went deeper into her mind determined to find something.

She soon felt cold, feeling the goose-bumps form on her arms. Her breathing started to get heavy. The notepad in her hand felt hard and heavier, as if she was holding something else.

Kim saw something, and hesitated. Her hand that held the pen shook before she got control of it. Kim started to write, doing it as nice as she could as her hand wanted to go at the speed of light. She wanted to be able to read it when she finished. The vision began to fade. Kim tried to hang on to it best she could, but it slipped, and disappeared. Kim tried to remember it again, but she couldn't. It was gone.

She opened her eyes, a very pale shade of blue before restoring to their normal color. The goose bumps on her arms faded and the notepad felt like a notepad.

Kim looked down at it.

M rc 1th, 20 8

I' a t e ld t e te i - ir it . EL !

P e s , K m.

Kim just didn't understand it. "This doesn't make any sense."

"Your memory is just in bits and pieces. It will come back, but as of right now, you've made some progress. Chances are if you do remember this again, you'll be able to see the entire thing." Dr. Carrie said.

"Really?" Kim asked.

"Really." Dr. Carrie said. She looked at the clock. "Well, your appointment is over."

"Thank you." Kim said as she stood up.

"Anytime." Dr. Carrie informed as she did too.

Kim headed to the door, but she stopped. She wanted to ask her doctor something.

"Um… Dr. Carrie can I ask you another question?" she asked.

The therapist raised her eyebrows.

"I just asked you a question, so technically I have to ask you another question." Kim explained.

"I see. What is your question?" Dr. Carrie asked.

"Um… is it normal for someone to act differently, like to suddenly avoid, fear, or look hurt?" Kim asked.

"Well, it depends on the age; for an adult, it's not normal, because everyone knows who they are. Everyone knows what they're like. It would take a big traumatic event for them to change how they act."

"What about for a kid?"

"Yes, it would be normal. A child's mind changes a lot, like how kids change on what they want to be when they grow up."

"Oh, okay." Kim nodded as she turned to leave.

"Although." Dr. Carrie said. Kim stopped and turned back around. "From what you asked; to suddenly change, would be out of the ordinary. For example: If a kid wanted to be a doctor when they grow up, they usually slowly ease their way to a different carrier, like a teacher. But for a kid to suddenly change would be completely odd."

"So, no thought. Just a complete change?" Kim said.

"Yes, exactly." Dr. Carrie said.

"Okay, thanks." Kim said as she left.

Kim exited the building as she made her way back to the four-seater coop. There was something wrong with the rest of the Cybersquad, and she knew it. She hoped it was just a phase, but deep down inside she knew it wasn't. Kim pulled her sqwak pad out of her bag that was in the passengers seat. She fixed it last night after she called Dr. Carrie… and dried her tail.

It was 3:36. She needed to clear her head, so she took off heading to a certain cybersite.

Meanwhile….. On Earth…

It was a warm, clear summer day. Unlike relaxing on the beautiful day, Matt was running through the town park. He eventually came to one of the climbable trees in the park. Matt jumped up and grabbed a branch and pulled himself up. He climbed higher to the second level of branches, but he heard a yelp and he let go of the 'branch'. Matt grabbed a different branch and pulled himself up. He looked at the tree branch he tried to grab and saw someone there. It was Inez who had a book in her hand, and he realized that he must have grabbed her arm.

Once Inez saw him, she let out a sigh in relief. "Oh good, it's you Matt. I thought you were someone else."

"Yeah, sorry Nezzie." Matt apologized for grabbing her arm, nearly pulling her out of the tree.

"It's okay, Matt. And don't call me Nezzie!" she snapped.

"Sorry." he replied. "So… who did you think I was?"

"It's not important." she said quickly.

"Sounds important." Matt said, trying to get some information out of her.

"Well, it's not!" Inez snapped. Matt knew he should drop the conversation.

"So…" Matt said after a few seconds of silence. "What are you doing up here?"

"Well, I was reading." Inez said.

"I kind of figured, but why up here? I usually see you leaning against the trunk of this tree, reading." he pointed out.

"I… just felt like reading up here… Quieter." she responded. "So why are you up here?" Inez said, changing the person of interest.

"Uh… got bored. Wanted to… climb." he responded.

Matt started climb to the branch Inez was on. Inez saw him wench in pain, hardly noticeable, but she saw it. She folded the corner of the page she was on, closed it, and put it up on the branch a little higher up. She stuck her hand out to help out Matt. He accepted it and she pulled him up.

"You okay, Matt?" Inez asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." he replied.

"You sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure, Inez." Matt replied.

The two heard a rustle and jerked their heads to the source.

"Jackie?" Inez said as her friend pulled herself up on the branch next to her and Matt.

"Inez? Matt? What are you two doing up here?" she said.

"I was reading." Inez said.

"I got bored." Matt said. "So what are you doing up here?"

"Um… I went for a walk and decided to climb a tree." Jackie responded.

"I didn't know you climbed trees." Matt said.

"Matt, we live in a small town, everyone climbs trees here." Jackie pointed out.

"True." Matt said.

"Actually, I've been meaning to find you guys." Jackie said.

"Really, why?" Inez asked.

"I was wondering something lately." Jackie said. "I was wondering if Kim lived here. You know, like when she was orphan before she came into Cyberspace."

"Actually, I was kind of wondering the same thing." Inez said.

"We could ask her." Matt suggested.

"What if she doesn't remember, she was only 6 when she left Earth." Jackie said.

"She's got a point, Matt." Inez said.

"Well, yeah." Matt said. "But if she did, it would give her a good reason to visit Earth."

"Why do you want Kim to come to Earth? She already said that she was never coming back." Inez asked.

"And there is pretty much no point on her coming back, not even for a visit. It's not like she has anyone to go to." Jackie supported.

"She's got us." Matt said. "And there's a lot she's missing here. For example: She's probably never climbed a tree."

"For Kim, climbing one of these trees is like climbing a stair case. I bet she's scaling buildings." Jackie said.

"That's probably true." Matt said. "Hey, how much money do you guys got, I've got a five?"

"I've got… two dollars." Inez said pulling them out of her pocket.

"I've got three." Jackie said. "Wait, today's the day that the ice cream truck is driving around, isn't it, Matt?"

"What can I say? I like ice cream." he said. "So, you guys want to get some?"

"Yeah, why not?" Jackie said.

"I'm in too." Inez said grabbing her book.

"Then let's go." Matt said as he started to climb down with the girls following him.

Meanwhile… In Cyberspace….

Kim entered the Tikiville diner as she made her way to her favorite booth, the one closest to the door. Sitting down in it, she took her bag off and opened it, pulling out 'Thirteen Reasons Why'. She started reading the fourth chapter.

"The usual?" Roger asked. The usual is large French fries and a chocolate milkshake.

"Yes, please." Kim said, completely sucked into the book.

Kim was getting close to the end of the 6th chapter. Her milkshake was almost empty and she had a couple of fries left. Kim pulled out her bookmark, getting ready for the end of the chapter. Unfortunately, once Kim got there, she didn't have the strength to put the bookmark in and close it.

'Put it down Kim! No, I gotta read more! Now! You'll be here all night if you don't stop.'

Kim finally got her strength to put the book down with the bookmark in it. She put it back in her bag and found her laptop. Kim pulled it out and opened it. Logging on, she decided to check her email.

USERNAME: phoenixkim

PASSWORD: secretgirl

Loading to the homepage, Kim had only one new email. It had no subject on it, but it had an attachment. She clicked on it, opening the attachment. Kim felt someone watching her, she casually looked around and no one looked suspicious. The tension left and Kim pulled her attention back to the email that finally loaded. It was a picture of her and the rest of the cybersquad at R-Fair City, backs to the camera. Kim felt her stomach cave in, starring at the picture. She received another email and checked it. It was another picture, but this time, it came with a message:

Scared yet?

The picture was of her looking out the window of the diner. It was taken outside and at an angle.

Kim quickly logged off her laptop. She pulled out 5 snelfus and put it on the table. Shutting her laptop, Kim shoved it in her bag, got up from her seat and left. She made her way back to her coop, trying to pretend that she never saw the emails. Kim opened the coop door, gently tossing her bag into the seat next to her. She tried to find her keys but they weren't in her pocket. She looked in her bag and she couldn't find them. Sighing back into her seat, she looked into the review mirror and she saw them in the back seat. "What the Hell?" Kim turned her head to the back seat. 'The cybercoop door was unlocked and I ask myself why the keys are in the back seat. And ironically, I didn't even stop to look for my keys before I got in.

Grabbing them, she put them in the ignition and heard a knock. Jerking her head to the source, she saw a little girl out her window. She looked no more than 5 years old. Kim rolled the window down.

"Hey, sweetie, what are you doing here? I'm about to take off, so it's not safe for you to stand so close." Kim said to the little girl.

"Some man wanted me to give you this." she said handing Kim a folded piece of paper.

Kim accepted it. "Um… Who-" the girl was gone. "Gave this to you?" Rolling up the window, she opened the note.

Hey, be glad I picked up your keys and not you. Watch your back!

Kim crumpled the note up and threw it on the floor. Now gripping the steering wheel, she noticed that the horn had been opened. Kim pulled the horn cover off. The button that turned the coop into a computer was gone. She just remembered that she took it out yesterday. Kim let out a sigh of relief as she closed the cover. Trying to processes what was now happening, Kim looked around with caution as she turned the keys to start the coop.

'Someone's stalking me.' she thought as she took off for home.

A/N: Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuun. Did you guys really think that I'd just give you one big question through out this entire book? Well, you thought wrong. So please review, and I'll start working on my next chapter. And please check out my poll on my profile, I'm closing it when this story ends.
