"Adam," a voice yelled. "Hey Adam!"
Adam turned around to see his cousin Janelle walking towards him. He was standing in his driveway about ready to drive to Aisha's grandfather's house. He noticed that she had her ever-present notepad in her hand. Even though she worked for a television station, she was always looking for a news story.
"Hi Janelle what's up?" He asked.
"I'm glad I caught you," she said, "Uncle Steve and Aunt Joan said you were looking for an internship," she said.
"Yeah," Adam said. "My dad thought it would be a good thing to do before I start college."
"I want you to be my intern."
Adam looked at her in surprise. "Your intern?"
"I'm working on this story about teenage runaways and I need some help with research. I thought you'd be perfect since…"
"Since Jason ran away." He finished for her.
She blushed. "Sorry," she said sheepishly. "But it's a group of stories I'm going to be working on this summer and I really do need the help."
Adam thought about it. With Rangering he had been too busy to look for an internship so this would be perfect.
"Okay I'll do it." Adam said.
"Great! So we'll start tomorrow. Meet me at the studio at 8:00," she said before walking past him. "I promised your mom I would stop by for some cake so I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye Janelle."
"Bye Adam."
Adam looked at his watch. He knew he had better hurry or he was going to be late. He had just opened his car door when his communicator sounded.
Adam looked back to make sure no one was around before saying, "I read you Dimitria."
"ADAM," she said, "PLEASE TELEPORT TO THE POWER CHAMBER."
"I'll be right there," Adam said.
He ducked behind a tree and then teleported away.
When he landed in the Power Chamber he found he was the only one there besides Alpha and Dimitria. The alarms weren't even going off.
"What's going on," he asked, "where are the others."
"ADAM I CALLED YOU UP HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE IS HERE TO SEE YOU."
"Who?" Adam asked somewhat hoping it was Jason.
"Me," a vaguely familiar voice said from behind him.
Adam turned around and was surprised to see whom it was. "Finster."
"I would like to talk to you," Finster said. "in privately if that is okay," he said looking up at Dimitria who nodded.
"Sure," Adam said and then he led Finster to one of the backrooms of the Power Chamber.
It was a basically empty room with a med bed that was last used when Billy was losing the Gold Ranger powers.
Finster stared at the bed for a long moment before saying something. "I feel like I should tell someone this because if I don't I don't know what will happen. You were one of Tommy's closest friends and you should know. I was there when Tommy died."
Adam didn't say anything. It was something he already knew but knew that Finster had more to say.
"We couldn't save him," Finster said his voice shaking a little. "I had sworn to myself that I would make sure nothing happened to Tommy again after what I helped Zedd and Rita do. But I could do nothing but stand there and watch him die. Jason…"
"Jason," Adam interrupted. "What about Jason?"
"He was there. I no one knows where he came from but one minute it was just I and Easen in the room and the next there's this bright flash of light and Jason's standing there."
Adam shut his eyes. Dimitria said that Jason hadn't done it.
"Tommy opened his eyes," Finster said as tears came to his eyes. "He looked at Jason for one brief second and then he died. Jason…Jason looked at Tommy for a long moment and then he…" Finster stopped and didn't say anything for the longest time.
Adam wasn't sure he wanted to hear what happened next.
"Jason's dead." Adam guessed.
Finster looked away. "No but he grabbed Tommy and disappeared."
"But we buried Tommy." Adam said not understanding what Finster was saying. "I was at the funeral."
Finster seemed confused. "We didn't send anyone back. Didn't the Olivers tell anyone?"
Adam shook his head. Now he knew somewhat what happened but why didn't the Olivers tell them?
DDD
Notes: Yep I disclosed what happened or did I?
