Zordon Says three:
Tommy dialed the number that he had pretty much memorized, he might as well tell Jason what was going on, he was a good listener second only to Kim and he didn't even have Kim's number.
Someone answered the phone on the second ring, "This is Jason Lee Scott's phone, can I take a message," a female voice stated.
"Can I talk to Jason?" Tommy asked, trying to figure out who had answered the phone, it wasn't Trini, but it sounded familiar, and they were obviously comfortable answering Jason's phone.
"No, if I give him back his phone it would defeat the purpose for me taking it in the first place."
Tommy frowned, seriously where had he heard this voice before, "What are you trying to prevent him to do?" had this person kidnapped Jason?
"I'm trying to prevent him from calling Billy and talking him into teleporting him into a max security prison in Florida."
Tommy blink why would a power ranger want to do that, except maybe Conner, but he questioned Conner's sanity sometimes, "Why?"
Over the phone, he heard Jason scream, "Give me my phone Kim!"
Tommy winced as Kim screamed over the phone right before the line went died. He frowned, why did Kim scream, it didn't make sense. Jason wouldn't have hurt her, so why had she screamed. She had sounded afraid, but why? Why was she in Angel Grove, didn't she live in Florida? What was going on?
Up ahead he saw the sign announcing that Angel Grove was the next exit. He would be home in five minutes, but did he need to be somewhere else?
He quickly dialed another phone number, maybe Trini could shed some light on this mystery.
"Hi Tommy," Trini's voice came through the phone.
"Why does Jason want to teleport into a max security prison in Florida?"
"I don't know, he went over to his parents' house to deal with an emergency."
Tommy sighed, what was up with the vague answers today, "What kind of emergency, it must have been big if Kim flew out from Florida to help."
Trini frowned, connecting the dots carefully, "I don't think Kim flew out for the Emergency, I think Kim flying out was the Emergency, and it has something to do with a max security prison in Florida."
"I'll meet you at the Scott's in three minutes," Tommy stated, taking a left turn instead of the right he would need to take to return home. He hung up before saying out loud, "If someone hurt Kim, I'm going to kill them."
He frowned, where had that come from, Your heart, Zordon stated, You never stopped loving her, even when you were with Kat.
…
Jason was trying to calm Kim down who was hyperventilating, why had he tried to take the phone from her, now she was having some sort of panic attack, "Kim, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."
Kim just shook her head as she hugged her knees to her chest, as she took deep breaths to calm her racing heart, what was wrong with her? It had just been Jason grabbing his phone from her and she had freaked out. She couldn't help it, suddenly she had seen Luke coming at her and she had reacted.
A soft hand was placed on her shoulder, "Kim it's okay," a female voice said softly, "Look at me," she ordered. Kim raised her head slowly to come face to face with Trini.
Kim quickly wiped her eyes, "Trini?" she asked, shocked.
Trini smiled, pulling Kim into a hug, "There's no need to hide those tears from me, Kim."
…
Mr. Scott was getting ready to leave when the phone rang, "Angel Grove Police Department, this is Officer Scott, how may I help you."
"This is Officer Smith from Miami Police Department. Yesterday we received a tip that leads to a ring of drug dealers. We just received a tip that they are trying to track down the informant. She left with her children to live with her family in Angel Grove this morning, the last name of Hart."
Mr. Scott frowned, "The Hart family moved away over a decade ago."
Officer Smith sounded concerned, "She went to Angel Grove because that is where she is from, can you please locate her and make sure she and the girls are kept safe."
Mr. Scott already had a good idea on where they were at, whenever Kim was scared or upset, especially during her parents' divorce she would seek refuge at his house, at least it was a place to start, "You mentioned children, what ages and gender?"
"I don't see what that has to do with anything, but she has three girls, four two and six months."
"Thank you, I'll keep them safe."
…
Kim had her head on Trini's shoulder just soaking in the love and comfort that she desperately needed, she would have been content to stay there forever until Trini cleared her throat, "You should tell Tommy the truth."
Kim looked at her with bloodshot eyes, "I thought Jason already told him, I heard them plotting together."
Trini shook her head, "He told him about the abuse but that's it, he said that you should tell him about the letter."
Kim shook her head, "I can't Trini, not yet, I can't handle seeing him." with that her head disappeared again.
Trini sighed, Tommy had been invited to dinner and Kim was a little nervous about facing her past all at once like this.
Downstairs in the living room, a baby started to fuss. Kim immediately jumped up and run downstairs with a yelp of, "Inya!"
Mr. Scott had just arrived home and had been greeted by two-year-old Zoey with great gusto, eyeing the large toys-r-us bag he was carrying. He walked into the living room to find two young girls sitting quietly on the couch, a baby crawling happily on the floor.
The baby sat up and looked at him before bursting into tears, which caused her older siblings to look around for their mother, who wasn't there. This caused the older two to burst into tears as well.
At that moment Kim arrived, scooping up Inya in one arm and Ellie in the other, Jaslee immediately started to cling to her leg, peering up at the strange man in front of them.
"I'm sorry," Kim stated, "I'll calm them down."
"Don't worry about it Kim," Mr. Scott stated, opening his bag, "I have this bag full of dolls, do you know anyone who might like one Kim."
Jaslee peeked out from behind Kim's leg, "May I have one," she ducked her head, "Please."
Mr. Scott smiled, "Of course you may," he said as he pulled out one of the dolls that he had bought.
Jaslee grabbed the doll as if she was afraid it might disappear at any moment. Mr. Scott pulled out another doll and offered it to Ellie, who peeked at it for a moment before yanking it out of his hand and hugging it close to her.
"Ellie, Jaslee, say thank you to Mr. Scott," Kim ordered.
Jaslee quickly bobbed her head, "thank you." she said.
Ellie, however, just buried her head deeper into Kim's shoulder, making a whimpering sound. Kim would have rubbed her back and murmured gentle words to her, but she also had Inya on her opposite hip.
Mr. Scott tried to take Inya from Kim, but the young girl shook her head and slapped his hand away. Kim smiled apologetically, "The girls don't take well with strangers, especially if they are," she paused and looked down at the ground.
"Male," Mr. Scott guessed as Trini coasted the little one into her arms. He understood, the girls were young enough that they didn't realize that not all men were like their father.
Jason appeared out of his old bedroom with Tommy close behind him, "Dad, make Kim give me back my phone."
Kim shook her head, "No, not until you and Tommy stop plotting murder, you aren't allowed to call Billy to make transportation plans with him."
Tommy smirked, an idea coming to his mind, "What if I ordered you to give us our phones."
Trini shook her head, "The two of you will get your phones back once you calm down some." With that, she walked past Tommy and something quite odd happened. Little Inya let go of Trini's blouse and reach out to Tommy, who gave Kim a bewildered look as he took the little baby from Trini.
Inya raised a chubby hand and patted him on the cheek, babbling happily. Kim nearly burst out laughing at seeing Tommy's bewildered look, "I don't believe it, Inya never goes to anyone willingly."
Trini smiled, "Inya probably sees in Tommy what you saw in him when you first met."
Jason grinned a grin that Zack would have been proud of, "It's a sign, you and Kim are meant for each other, her kids like you already."
Tommy and Kim looked at each other as another voice that echoed through their heads said, I couldn't have said it better my self.
Trini frowned as Kim grabbed her head as if she had felt a sharp pain in it, "Kim, what's wrong?"
Kim shooked her head, "It's nothing, you wouldn't believe me anyway."
Trini shrugged, "You know we'll believe you, Kim."
Kim shooked her head, rubbing Ellie's back from where she lay on her shoulder, "You'd think I was crazy."
Tommy gently bounced Inya in his arms as he watched Kim, it couldn't be could it? Could Kim be hearing Zordon's voice as well, "You hear his voice too, don't you?"
Kim looked up at Tommy in shock, "Yes, in my head, telling me stuff."
Tommy smiled, maybe he wasn't going insane after all, "Telling you where to go and what to do."
"Giving me comfort when I'm having a bad day," Kim added.
Tommy laughed, "I thought I was going crazy, but if you're hearing him too, then maybe we aren't."
Jason and Trini watched the conversation with confusion, they couldn't figure out what they were talking about.
Mr. Scott, however, was the one who asked the question, "What in the world are you two talking about.
Tommy glanced at Mr. Scott, trying to figure out what to tell him, "Kim and I have been hearing the voice of an older gentleman that we knew when we were in high school."
Kim nodded, "We often ended up at his house when we went on dates."
With that statement Jason couldn't help himself, he burst out laughing. "You're saying that you are hearing Zordon's voice, but that's impossible he died in 1998."
"Don't you think we will recognize Zordon's voice," Tommy demanded.
Trini and Jason frowned at each other, had their friends totally lost it?
…
A/N: Done finally, it took me long enough. Please review. Do you think Tommy and Kim are crazy?
