Revealing Part 2…
Kira was cleaning up a cut on her knee when she heard the doorbell ring. She quickly put a plaster on her cut then walked as fast as she could to the door.
'Kim? Tommy?' she questioned her guests.
'Hey Kira, can we talk?' Tommy said and Kira became suspicious.
'What's going on?' Kira asked.
'Nothing, we just want to talk about Trent,' Kim said and Kira sighed. She thought about it for a second then opened the door wider to let Kim and Tommy in. Kira led them to the living room then walked into the kitchen to get three orange juices. She got the drinks then walked back to the living room and served her guests then sat on the opposite chair.
'So what did you want to talk to me about?' Kira asked and sat back on her chair.
'We wanted to know what Trent is doing,' Kim said and Kira looked at them confused.
'What is he doing to make you go back to him Kira?' Tommy asked.
'Nothing, he's doing nothing. I just want to have a family again,' Kira lied and Tommy could see through her.
'Don't lie to me Kira. I've known you for years and I know it when you're lying, what is he doing?' Tommy asked and Kira saw she couldn't lie.
'He's threatening Aden; he says that if I leave he will make our lives miserable and I don't want that for Aden. Not when he hasn't done anything wrong,' Kira said as she sobbed. Kim saw this and got up to comfort the girl in front of her.
'Don't worry – it's going to be over soon,' Kim said.
'Well how do you know?' Kira asked.
'Because we have a way,' Tommy said. 'We have a way of getting you out of here,' he said and had Kira's full attention.

Ethan was walking in front of Aden's school gate back and forth. He wished he hadn't let Kim talk him into this. The last time he had talked to Trent was on his and Kira's wedding day. Ever since then all he said to the former white ranger was "hey how's it going dude" or "bye, see you later dude". He knew Trent would get suspicious but he had to try. Kira had to know that Connor was back and tell Aden. Ethan was lost in his thoughts when Trent walked by in a white and black suit.
'Ethan?' he asked. 'What are you doing here?'
'Umm… I came by to ask you if you want a beer you know?' the blue ranger said and Trent gave him a look showing the blue ranger he didn't believe him. 'What?' Ethan asked after receiving the look.
'A beer? Ethan when was the last time the two of us had a decent conversation?' Trent asked and the blue ranger was unable to answer. 'Right, that's what I thought,' the white ranger said and began to walk away. Ethan stood at the spot for a second before quickly walking to catch up to Trent.
'Listen, I guess we haven't talked in a really long time but isn't this the only chance for us to you know - catch up?' Ethan asked and Trent looked at him.
'Maybe another time. I need to go have my dinner with my wife,' Trent said and got into his car. 'I'll see you later dude,' he said and drove off. Ethan watched as the car turned the corner before taking his phone out to call Kim.
'Come on, pick up Kim. Pick up,' he said.
'This is Kim. Please leave your message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can,' the answering machine said and Ethan groaned.
'Really Kim?' he asked himself then began to run towards Kira's house.
****
Kim had made sure Kira was calm before moving to sit next to her husband.
'So what is it?' Kira asked and the married couple in front of her looked at each other. 'Well?' Kira said.
'We have a way of you and Aden escape from Trent without him hurting either of you,' Kim said.
'You've said that but what is it exactly? What's this brilliant plan?' Kira said. Kim and Tommy smiled at each other before the former black ranger turned to face Kira.
'How would you feel about moving?' he said.
'Moving? How in the world is that supposed to help. I mean, I moved to yours and a couple of days later I'm back here. Aden will have to see him everyday. I might bump into him…' Kira was blurting when Kim stopped her.
'Out of Reef side,' she said and Kira stopped and began to listen. 'What if you were able to move to New York?' she asked and Kira's whole body froze. New York – Connor had gone to New York. He had left her, pregnant and alone to have a career and be somebody. The night she was told she had cried and screamed. She could remember her going to his house on the day and finding nothing there. She went into his room and stayed there for the night then when she came home she locked herself in her room and came out two weeks later. It was the worst part of her life and she had to quickly get back on her feet for her baby.
'New York huh?' she asked.
'Yes,' Kim said. 'It's going to be a great start for you and Aden. I know you're have fun and enjoy it and a bonus will be being away from Trent,' she finished and Kira looked at her.
'But, what about you? Ryan? Tommy? How will I manage all on my own?' Kira said.
'Me, Kim, Ryan, Ethan, Hailey are all a plane away. It only takes a phone call and we'll be there as soon as we can. We'll come over for all the holidays and you'll never have to see that evil man again,' Tommy said and Kira smiled at him.
'You two have really thought about this,' she stated and the young couple nodded no. 'Ethan?'
'Nope,' Kim said.
'Hailey?' she then asked.
'Nope,' Kim answered again.
'Then who?' Kira asked a bit annoyed.
'Ryan,' Tommy stated simply.
'Ryan?' Kira questioned.
'Yes Ryan. He wanted to help you and Aden escape and be happy like we are. He said he wanted his best friend to have a family and not have to lie all the time,' Tommy said and Kira felt tears drop from her eyes.
'He's the sweetest thing,' she whispered.
'Yeah, yeah he is,' Kim said in tears with her friend.
'So what do you say?' Tommy asked and Kira smiled at him.
'Yeah. I want to leave as soon as I can,' she said and Kim hugged the former yellow ranger.
'Should I call Zach and tell him to book the three tickets?' Tommy asked and immediately wished he hadn't said anything.
'Three tickets?' Kira asked confused.
'Well umm… umm…' Tommy tried.
'There's something else we have to tell you,' Kim said and Kira looked at the married couple. Kim was about to continue when the door opened and revealed Trent with Aden.
'Hey kid, how was school?' Kira asked wishing they hadn't interrupted what Kim was going to say.
'Fine,' he said without looking at her in the eye.
'So you waited till your dad finished school and got a ride?' Kim asked curiously.
'No. I was at the park with some friends and dad drove past and offered to drive me,' he said.
'Well we better be going, Ryan is at Kevin's house so we have to go get him before going home,' Tommy said and got up. Kim hugged Kira and took her coat from her husband then walked to the door. 'Bye kiddo,' Tommy said and both he and his wife hugged Aden. Aden hugged them back and smiled. He wished he could go back with them but he knew he had to stay especially since he's not in his father's good books at the moment. Aden walked outside with them and watched as they got into the car and drove off. Aden waved once more then turned around and walked into his house. He saw his mother in the kitchen and then looked over at his father on the couch with his feet up. Aden rolled his eyes before walking to the kitchen.
'Mom, what were aunt Kim and uncle Tommy doing here?' he asked.
'Ermm… I'll tell you tomorrow. After your dad leaves,' she said and Aden nodded at her. Kira smiled at him then kissed the top of his head. 'Love you,' she said.
'Love you too,' he said then walked out of the kitchen. 'I'll be in my room,' he told his father and quickly ran upstairs. Aden took his ipod from his bag then put the volume high. He was about to sleep when his phone started vibrating. He took his phone but dropped it when he saw the caller. Connor, was calling him. He had managed to escape before but knew it in his mind that Connor didn't believe anything he had said.
FLASHBACK
'My…' Aden had began.
'Some bullies in school, they pick on him because he's the principal's son,' Ryan interrupted him.
'Is that true Aden?' Connor asked him.
'Yeah,' Aden said and Connor knew he was lying because his eye twitched in a familiar way.
'So why didn't you tell your dad?' Connor asked.
'Because they threatened me and I didn't want to say anything,' Aden said.
'Right OK. Remember when I said whenever you need to talk I'm here?' Connor asked and Aden nodded. 'Well I'm giving you till tomorrow to tell me what really happened and if you don't I'll go to your school and talk to your dad myself OK?' Connor said and Aden nodded again.
'Come on let's go I think your dad's car is coming round the corner,' Ryan said and Aden began to walk away. He was walking quickly when Connor tapped his shoulder.
'Give me your phone,' he said and Aden gave his phone awkwardly. Connor put his number on Aden's phone then gave the little boy back his phone. Aden took his phone and looked at the man in front of him. "I'm Sorry" he mouthed then ran towards his dad's car.
END FLASHBACK
That's how Aden ended up lying to one of the people he really trusted to do anything for him. Aden was slowly falling to sleep when a scream pierced through the whole house. Aden raised from his bed as quick as he could then ran down the stairs to find his mother on the floor across from the couch. Her hand was in a weird shape, her knee was bleeding and Aden could see a part of her stomach bleeding. Aden began to cry and ran to his mother.
'What did you do?!' Aden screamed to his father.
'Don't talk to me like that you weak pathetic idiot,' Trent screamed as he came out of the kitchen.
'Leave me alone. I hate you! Get the hell away from my mum!! Go away!' Aden screamed as he tried to help his mother.
'Go get help,' he heard her whisper. Aden kissed his mums forehead.
'I'll be right back,' he whispered then ran. He had never been so fast as he could. He ran to the park but couldn't find Connor so he took his phone out. He waited impatiently as the phone rang.
'Hello,' the man on the other line said.
'Connor,' Aden said sobbing.'You have to help me. My mum is hurt and she's bleeding,' he said and Connor started to panic.
'Okay I'm coming at the park and I'll go with you to help her OK?' Connor said.
'Please. My dad is still at home. Hurry,' he said.
'Why isn't he helping her?' Connor asked.
'Because he's the one that hurt her,' Aden said and heard Connor gasp.
'He's the one who's been hurting you?' Connor asked disgusted.
'Yeah,' Aden said quietly and Connor had never hears the little boy sound so small.
'I'm going to be at the park in 5 minutes. Meet me there and I'll go home with you OK?' Connor said.
'Yeah,' Aden said and ended his call.
Connor ran as fast as he could to the park and his whole head was focused on Aden and who ever his mother was. Aden was a great kid and Connor began to love him as a younger brother and he couldn't imagine someone doing something that bad to that little boy. He had no idea how he was going to help but he knew that he wasn't going to let this maniac walk away. At the moment the only one thing Connor wanted to do was torture the guy that was hurting Aden. If worse came to worse, Connor even had a moment where he thought he could kill him.
