Billy and Haley were at Haley's Cyber Café getting ready to close for the day. They had been side tracked because Billy ran into an old friend, Fred Kelman. Fred was on of Tommy's former karate students. Fred and his father had just moved to Reefside a few years. The last time that Billy had seen Fred was on the night that the city of Angel Grove shot off fire works to thank the power rangers for protecting the city from Ivan Ooze.

"What grade are you in now?" asked Billy.

"I'm a junior in high school," answered Fred. "I will be 17 in January."

"It doesn't seem possiable!" gasped Billy. "The last time I saw you was when you were nine. Time passes quickly. How long have you been attending school in Reefside?"

"I moved down here when I started middle school," answered Fred. "I was in 5th grade. I've got a girl friend and her name is Kira Ford. She was my first friend that I made when I moved down here. We've been dating since we were Freshmen. She is big into music and she plays the guitar. Kira has her own band."

"I bet Tommy will be thrilled to hear from you," added Billy. "He married Kimberly on Christmas Eve in 1995. They are living down here now. Kimberly's going to be teaching at Reefside next year."

"MRS. OLIVER IS KIMBERLY?!" gasped Fred. "I knew she looked familiar. She has been the substitute teacher for our PE teacher. She's been at school at lately. Our PE teacher has been out a lot."

"I hate to interrupt the conversation," apologized Haley. "I just saw on TV that the island that Tommy's studying exploded. They can't find Tommy, Anton Mercer, or Terrance Smith. They don't know if any of them are still alive or if they made it out of the lab."

"We better go to Kimberly!" cried Billy.

"I want to come too!" demanded Fred.

"You can come," answered Haley. "But, we have to call your dad."

Mr. Kelman walked into the café. He looked like he had some news to tell Fred.

"Fred, I just saw on the news that the lab Tommy was in exploded!" cried Mr. Kelman.

"I know, Haley saw it on the news and just told us," answered Fred. "I'm going to the Oliver's house with Haley and Billy."

"You can go," stated Mr. Kelman. "Fred and I will clean everything up here. You all go on to Kimberly. We'll be there as soon as we clean up."

"Everything is cleaned up," smiled Haley. "We did that along time ago."

Fred got in his dad's car and Haley and Billy rode together. They all drove to the Oliver's house. Kimberly was still waiting by the phone. Tommy still didn't call and it was 7:45. She pulled out her cell to call Tommy, but he never answered his cell phone. She knew that it wasn't like to not call her. It was true that he ran late, but he was never late calling her. Tommy called her right on the dot. She heard someone knock on her door. Kimberly went to the door. Haley, Billy, and the Kelman's were at the door.

"What's going on?" asked Kimberly. "Have you heard from Tommy?"

"That's why we're here," stated Haley.

All of them turned on the TV and took a seat on the couch. Haley told Kimberly about seeing on the TV that the island exploded. And she said they couldn't locate Tommy, Anton Mercer, or Terrance Smith. Kimberly let out loud scream and had nervous break down. She turned on the news and started watch the TV, she wanted to know if they had any more news about the lab exploding. All they had on the news was helicopters searching from the sky, police boats searching the body of water near the lab, and some helicopters that landed on the island for the police to search the island.

An Hour Later

The news reporter came back on the news with a news report.

"I've just received word that the whole island has been search," explained the news reporter. "We had about 300 police officers search the land. None of the three men have been spotted. We are going to search the land masses near by and bodies of water near by the island. If anyone has any information about the these three men, you are encouraged to call the police."

A telephone number appeared on the screen and Kimberly and Haley quickly wrote it down. They continued to watch the news. All they saw were pictures of the island and what the lab looked like after it exploded.

"Do you think he made it off the island?" asked Kimberly.

"I don't know?" admitted Haley. "I know Tommy as well as you do. I think he probably sensed that the lab was going to explode and he left the lab before the others did. If you're going to ask me where he is. At this point I don't know."

Meanwhile, Tommy was holding on to board that was floating in the water. He swam for hours and was getting really tired. As soon as he saw the board he quickly swam to it and grabbed it. He had been floating in the water for a long time. Tommy looked down at the watch Kimberly bought him for Christmas five years ago. There was so much water in the watch, it was no longer working.

Tommy wondered how he was going to make it home. He was in the middle of the ocean and no idea where he was. His cell phone was in his back pack, but he knew it wouldn't work because it had gotten water in it. Tommy had no way of contacting Kimberly. He wondered how she was doing? As much as he hate to admit it, he knew that she knew that the island exploded. She either saw it on TV or someone had told her. He hoped that Billy and Haley were with her. Tommy's muscles were sore because he swam for hours and didn't stop to rest. He couldn't have stopped to rest even if he wanted to because he didn't have a life jacket and there wasn't any land near by. All he could do is keep going.

Just then, Tommy saw A flashing light shined above him. The light was so bright he couldn't look at it. It was helicopter and a boat was coming towards him. Some people helped him get in the boat. As soon as he got in the boat he passed out due to lack of energy.

Several Hours Later

Tommy woke up, he was laying in a bed and he had some bandages on his body. He noticed he had wardrobe change. Tommy noticed that he wearing a some type of gown. There were railing on both sides of the bed. He was the hospital.

A nurse walked in to check on him. She had grey hair and had wrinkles in her face. The nurse looked like Jan Oliver and he hoped that Jan would be happy to see him. But, she wasn't.

"I'm just here to check you," Jan said angrily. "I'm no relation to you. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"

"No, mother, I haven't forgotten that," answered Tommy.

"Please call me Jan or Mrs. Oliver," requested Jan. "I don't want to be reminded that I have Caroline's daughter as my daughter-in-law."

"I'm sorry, Jan," apologized Tommy. "Can you at least tell me where I am?"

"You're in Angel Grove," answered Jan.

"Can you please call Kim and let her know I'm here?" asked Tommy. "I'm sure she's not taking the news about the island exploding good. She needs to know where I am. I don't have a cell phone. Can I please call her?"

"NO!" yelled Jan. "She's robbed me of a lot. She robbed me of my friendship with Caroline. I was friends with Caroline before you were born. Caroline thinks I'm trying to cause trouble for her daughter. If I knew Caroline was into drugs, I would have kicked them out a long time ago. Kimberly robbed me of money. I couldn't have children and I spent more money than I promised James that I'd spend. We had trouble paying bills but I wanted a child. I had a child and went into labor two months early. If I wasn't around Caroline, I wouldn't have gotten sick and had a premature baby. I would have had a healthy baby. When you were gone, people thought I was crazy because I said you were a power ranger. And you married that stupid girl. That was huge mistake, Tommy. I don't want to have anything to do with your or that daughter-in-law of mine."

Jan walked out of the room and didn't care that she was hurting her son.

"Please let me call her!" sobbed Tommy. "I'm begging you!"

"No," answered Jan.

She walked out of the room and walked out. Jan got a lot of stares from the hospital staff. But, she didn't care. Tommy had no idea how he'd make it back to Reefside. He didn't have a car, he'd didn't have a cell phone, and he didn't a phone in his room. A man walked into his room he looked really familiar. The man had a smile on his face.

"Hello, Tommy!" smiled the man.

"You look familiar," stated Tommy. "Are you James Oliver?"

"Yes, it's me," answered James. "I've came to give you your medication for the day."

"How long have I been here?" asked Tommy.

"About 24 hours," replied James.

"I saw you the day I got married," said Tommy. "You were standing outside the wedding chapel. I think you knew it was me."

"Yes, I did," smiled James. "I'd know you anywhere, even with a different hair cut. I was out shopping and I saw you and Kim get married."

"You watch the whole wedding!?" gasped Tommy.

"Yes, I did," answered James. "I heard from Billy that day he saw you at the mall. He called me and told me that he saw you and Kim buy wedding bands. I convinced Billy to tell you about your mother and Caroline. I knew if you knew the truth, I knew you'd marry her. I convince Jan to come to the mall and we went grocery shopping and were buying house hold items. She went shopping and I stood outside the chapel. I told pictures on my cell phone and never let Jan see them."

"Why did she age so quick?" asked Tommy. "She got into a fight with it over the fact that Kim and I were missing?"

"No, they were friends after you were missing. What tore them apart was the fact that she learned Caroline was selling drugs and was storing them in our basement. Caroline got Jan hooked on them for awhile. She put something in Jan's coffee one morning," explained James. "She came back to stay with us after we learned that you and Kim were supposedly missing. Caroline knew what really happened to the two of you. After Jan was hooked on drugs, she told Caroline what really happened. Jan called the police and they checked the abandoned house. Ed wasn't there and it was completely empty. She told the police about Caroline having drugs in the basement. They checked the basement and there was nothing there. Caroline cleaned the basement out before she told Jan the truth. That's the real reason why Jan was in a mental hospital. The real reason why she hates Kimberly is because Caroline told her that Kimberly knew the whole time that she was store drugs in the basement. Jan believed it when she saw the break up letter."

"What happened to Caroline?" asked Tommy.

"She's gone," admitted James. "She had an overdose shortly after Trini's memorial."

"Are you still married to Jan?" asked Tommy.

"We're divorced," James said sadly. "We divorced at the first of the year."

"Kim doesn't know?" gasped Tommy.

"No," answered James. "We covered up the truth by saying the letter and you two disappearing was why they hated each other. That was a big part of why they hated each other. But, the fact Caroline was hiding illegal drugs in the basement is the biggest reason."

"Kim doesn't even know that I'm here," confessed Tommy. "Jan wouldn't let me call her or get word to her that I'm here."

"Give me the house number and I'll call her," smiled Jan.

Tommy gave James his house number and he called the Oliver house.
