And welcome back as we continue our foray into the recesses of Sentinel's mind. No one is hurt in this chapter although there are some who are annoyed.
I want to thank everyone who has faved, read, followed, alerted, or read this tale. Let's get to answering some of the reviews: CB73, ah the question is 'how and when is this all going to come out'. Kimmie finds out fairly early in book 3 just what hit the fan and at that point she is digesting that. Of course, by then Monique is already tasting ash; Jimmy1201, The allergy does go away a little later, but Kimmie gets a glitter bomb that alleviates her memory loss of Ron in book 3. As for my cancer, they think they are on the right path. I WILL get opened up again so that's something to look forward to.
I want to thank both of my editors; CB has the odd chapters (hey they're not ALL odd) and Jimmy has the even ones.
Welp, let's get this story on the road,
ST-103
The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 58
Over the Pacific:
The lithe shinobi inquired as Ron was heating up Hanna's breakfast (neither knowing that someone was listening in), "And your relationship with Possible-san?"
"Friends like we have been all our lives Yori, that hasn't changed. Whatever we thought we had over last summer is gone.", the freckled teen responded from the galley.
"So, no romance?"
"Ah, no Yori, there will not be any little Ronnies running around in the future. For the Stoppable name to continue little Shawn and Hanna are gonna have to step up.", the blond teen's voice came through Kim's wrist 'watch'.
"Sensei had much hope for you…."
"Yeah, I know….it's been a hard year anyway from what I read in that scroll my future existence until I return is pretty dim. I may not return as a Stoppable from what it suggested, but then the whole line might be gone. They should have told you I may not get out of this year alive to the relief of many of my adversaries."
"Ron-san those scrolls are not to be taken literally. They could be wrong…..Inturo Mekaski has been wrong a few times over the years", Yori warned.
"My chances at having my head removed like Fukushima or being in a shallow grave with a bullet in the back of my head are just as high as ever Yori, I sorta am walking a tight rope here. Even if I survive that remember what happens if I screw up."
Yori frowned as she played with her niece, "It is not set in stone…."
"Yeah, heard it before, Sensei said it more than once, that tells me he means it. I just wish I at least had Antubi in Middleton with me, I feel like I'm being stretched thin. It won't take much for it all to unravel, then Sis is gonna be orphaned again and I don't wanna know what that will do to her. I just want her to have a nice normal childhood….at least one more normal than the one I had."
"I assume that once Possible-san leaves for her college experience that you will go your own way Ron-san?", Yori inquired.
Ron replied, "I said once before and I'll say it again, as long as Kim wants me to help out or be my friend I will be there. After she leaves Middleton with Eric, I don't expect to hear from her again, however. She once said we have to grow up….I guess sometimes growing up also means growing apart. Maybe never to see each other again, but like I mentioned earlier in a year it might not make a difference on my end."
"I am sorry for your friendship with her to go down this road Ron-san…"
"Yori, who knows if it wasn't supposed to happen this way. Kim and me have had almost fourteen years as friends, maybe if I don't screw up and end up surviving this shit storm we will be able to continue at some point, but deep down inside, I don't think it will happen."
Neither knew that tears were dribbling out of green eyes thousands of miles away as a certain red-head listened in.

The Possible home, Middleton:
The red head paled, finally had heard enough and pushed the disconnect button on her wrist unit and muttered, "Well that was interesting, I'd better speak with Ron about his morbid side."
The rocket scientist asked his daughter, "Wasn't listening into a private conversation an invasion of privacy Kimmie?"
The red-haired teen countered, "I just wanted to make sure he was safe Dad, Ron is my responsibility."
"I think at seventeen years of age and having no living parents Ronald makes Ronald his own responsibility honey, If I remember, Ronald has purchased a place in Lowerton so you might want to think on that a little more or call your Mother if you do not believe my take on that."
The teen heroine scowled at the comment made by her father, she had no idea what was going on and that Ron, Wade and her Dad were all in on it to some degree.
The twins finally showed up yawning. Both sat down and looked at the plates that magically appeared in front of them. Both asked, "Dad can we have coffee?"
"Huh?", James asked then said, "Sure, what would you like in it boys?"
Jim responded for both, "Milk and sugar and Tim just wants milk." (The younger twin nodded)
The senior male Possible poured out two cups and motioned to them to turn the liquid into the form they preferred.

Over the Pacific Ocean:
"And the information that Sensei believes to be true about Kim-san's essence and yours being intertwined?", Yori asked.
"I guess our future selves will meet in some form or other."
Beep beep de da beep.
Ron pulled out his unit and hit the 'green' button and asked as the African American boy's image came up on the kimmunicator screen, "Yeah Wade?"
"Kim just monitored a portion your and Yori's conversation Ron through your device Ron.", came the response.
The blond teen thought for a moment on what had been discussed then shrugged, "How much did she hear buddy?"
"She didn't hear the end, but she heard enough so that there are some things for her to think about. She might be talking to me later to see how much I know."
"Wade, you officially don't know anything, and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't want Sensei's bad boys to come looking for you."
"Ron, I can take care of myself, I have security deployed….I installed it after last spring…in the early summer when both you and Kim were away from Middleton, Drakken's take over the world attempt got my attention when his robots trashed my system. Anyway, since you told me to do it and Doctor Possible confirmed that he had hacked me all my real Yamanouchi information has been scrubbed off the system.", the genius informed his friend.
"Wade-san, this is Yori, please I do not want to sound confident, but if Yamanouchi targets anyone, they will find them given time. Please do not turn this into a game. Yamanouchi always wins, if you try to run you will only die breathless as we have been told. Ron-san understands this and accepts it and knows to stay away from any of his friends who he may cherish to protect them. Having taken all our confidential information off your systems means you cannot prove anything so the school will not pursue you to maintain our secrecy."
"That's what Ron told me last fall, the only thing on there is some of his poetry.", Wade confided.
"Ron-san is that poem you wrote about me on Wade-san's servers?", the shinobi's eyes narrowed.
"Uh yeah one of them, but all I did was describe you, I didn't use your alias name or your real name or your relationship to Sensei or anything. You should be safe enough, anyway how many people in the world read Japanese who are annoyed with me?", Ron replied as he carried a bottle for Hanna and a tray for Yori and set it on her table. He then took the child from her arms so she could eat.
"Lord Fiske.", Yori enlightened her friend, "Along with one or two others. He does not actually translate that well however."
"Maybe so, but he's more worried about stabbing me in the back than anything having to do with you except for your relationship with Lord Toshimiru, since I didn't do that even my favorite villain who wants to stick a knife in my back won't have a clue because I kept it that vague, you remember what I did to Fukushima last summer?"
"Yes, I well remember…."
"Don't think that I can't do it again. I already killed one bastard for pointing a rifle at Kim's window after he took a shot at me….eliminating someone might give me nightmares, but I would do it again if I had to."
Wade decided to remind them he was in the conversation to, "Uh guys, where are you headed? Kim was a little incensed by the word that Ron and his sister was on a flight to somewhere, I think she wanted to follow."
"Great,", Ron muttered, "and with my luck Limey Eric would tag along to screw with my life more. Oh, now that I remember at some point in time could Sensei send a message to that asshole?"
Yori looked at her friend, "Why is that Ron-san?"
"He's the one who dropped Hanna over at Kim's house…I had a funeral to go to for a good friend of mine and he was holding her while she was at Kim's place and dropped her. I mean I could've taken her, but a funeral really isn't the place for a baby ya know. Anyway, I even told Kim I didn't want him around her at all. Sis had to go to the hospital for a couple of days."
"I see you removed the rubber cast on Hanna's leg…anyway Ron-san, I may have a word with Kim-san's new squeeze."
"Yeah, about that you do and I would owe you a big one. The FBI said that someone wanted to injure Sis to bend me to his will and the mistake the guy made was to contact an undercover FBI guy.", Ron explained, "Anyway, she wears the cast out in public so before we land I have ta put it back on her, you never know when some media type is gonna take our picture and we don't wanna blow up the investigation, the FBI is sorta pissy that way."
Yori cut into the egg concoction that teen chef had made for her breakfast then inquired, "What is this investigation all about Ron-san? You mentioned something before, but I am unclear what is going on." She then actually used chop sticks to 'dig in'.
Wade muttered not having been told where Yori and Ron were going, "I guess I didn't really need my question answered."
The former mascot took a breath and revealed some of what he was told, "Well, it seems there is some sort of hanky panky going on between athletic organizations and some people think it is illegal at the state level if not the federal one and they want to stop the practice. Anyway, the FBI thinks that I will be a target for them to try and force me to stay after my senior year. After I graduate, I can go to college or whatever, but they think that I am gonna try and be forced to stay for more years. I really don't wanna get into the middle of this with Hanna around. But now since I've been suspended through the end of the school year, they might see that there is a good chance they can pull it off except they don't know that I will be getting the homework assignments and the tests through the principal because the FBI dudes brought her into this too along with the school board."
"And our secrecy?", Yori used her eating implements to make her point.
"Only Me, Wade, Rufus, Felix, and his Mom know about Yamanouchi, Rufus is in the great cheese wheel in the sky, Wade has scrubbed his systems except for the BS poetry, and I told both Felix and his Mom to forget everything they ever heard. She should be good at that since she works for the U.S. government.", Ron informed her then added, "Kim of course knows some of what Yamanouchi is, but not the full extent of its operations and I doubt Wade will clue her in, what you guys have going on with Global Justice is above my pay grade, but I know it's something."
"Global Justice is only concerned for the safety of the world, both you and the rest of Yamanouchi gets intelligence and requests for various operations from time to time.", the lithe shinobi enlightened her blond friend.
"Yeah, just like one they gave to me last fall. I was able to do it but had to bust a couple of heads along the way. The jerk cops wanted to keep me there for another day, but I had to get back for that charity boxing match with Kim.", Ron told her, "when I got back I kinda ruined her day. Kim and I will never spar again."
Yori kept on eating then asked, "Have you taken any food today?"
"Uh, not really hungry Yori, my appetite crashed months ago, and I only eat to take calories in now and ya just don't burn many up. Eating used to be fun, now it's just another chore.", the blond teen informed her as he offered Hanna a sippy cup.
The raven-haired tyke greedily grabbed the offered cup and began to drink. Ron grinned then turned somber at the end, "It won't be long, and Sis will be completely off the bottle. I mean she's starting to eat some solid food too. Yori?"
"Ron-san, what is wrong?"
"Nothing, could you tell me about Hanna's parents? At some point she is going to ask me if I survive this, and I'd like to be able to tell her as much as I can."
The Yamanouchi shinobi said between bites, "My older sister's name is Hina Himitsu and her husband's name is Tatusya Konga Ron-san. They both perished in an automobile accident when Hanna was about three months old. My niece was staying at Yamanouchi…I was babysitting her at the time."
Ron frowned, "I am sorry for your loss, but young children shouldn't have to go through that. I think it would scar them for life."
"My niece appears to be highly resistant to that Ron-san. She has gone through this twice now…."
"Three times,", Ron corrected, "there were two funerals with my parents."
"I apologize, yes one for each of your parents. I think in the future Hanna is going to look at you as her parent. You do seem to be a father figure for her now."
"I don't think I'm doing as great as I look like I'm doing. Sometimes, I can barely hold it together. When I think about it, I've basically lost Kim, Mom and Dad, and Rufus. If it wasn't for Sis and my seemingly multitude of friends, I would be a basket case by now. I swear by the fake moon landings that I think someone did all this on purpose."
"It is proven that the landings were not fake Ron-san.", Yori countered with a giggle.
"No?", the blond teen asked.
"No.", Yori assured her friend.
"Rats, Rufus lied.", Ron muttered, "But then he sometimes bought into conspiracy stories."
"Ron-san, he was a rodent and as such his mental capacity was sure to be lower than a normal human.", the Japanese girl continued to eat her meal.

Later riding on a small minibus in Shanghai, China:
"Ya know Yori, I don't think that I've ever been in Shanghai before and considering how many places Kim and I have been to that is saying something. This place is crazy busy."
"Cities in China tend to be very crowded Ron-san…."
"I can't believe that they didn't even stamp my passport either…."
Yori smiled as she informed Ron, "Yamanouchi has contacts all over the world, I would like to introduce you to two of our assets. This is Wanda Wang and Suzie Chin; they are both full Yamanouchi operatives being fully trained shinobis and will act as security and interpreters while we are in China."
(Does the author always try and use these two?...AN)
The former Middleton mascot nodded and asked, "Do they speak American?"
The shorter one, Suzie Chin, nodded, "I speak, read and write better English, Chinese and Japanese than you speak American Stoppable-san."
The freckled teen rolled his eyes then muttered, "It wouldn't take much to do that. So where are we going?"
"To an island off the coast, we will be getting on a boat within thirty minutes.", the taller woman responded.
"And the name of that island?", the blond teen inquired.
Ms Chin replied with narrowed eyes, "Does it make a difference?" (AN….there were concerns about a Caucasian being the Chosen One by various factions within Yamanouchi.)
"I…I guess not, how are we getting to the island?"
Wanda informed Ron, "The less you know the less you can tell people, please try not to ask questions about our ways and methods."
The blond teen grunted, "I guess I was put in my place."

Middleton High, Middleton, Colorado:
"So, what happened with Stoppable Kim?", inquired the fashion diva in case something happened later.
Kim didn't bother hesitating although her boyfriend, Josh Mankey and Tara King were close enough to hear, "The judge let Ron stay out so he's not in jail although there will be a trial at some point. He then went to work."
Tara added, "Ron has been suspended from school through the end of the year…he will not graduate with us."
Kin nodded as Eric asked, "So that is why the idiot is not in school?" The suave teen began to chuckle, "It was worth the money I paid out to see him thrown out of this institution like the ignorant fool he is for attacking a school official. When they try him, I wonder what is going to happen to his sister. It would be best if the authorities took her away from him and given to a proper family to raise. I wonder if your technical person can connect me to him so I can laugh in his face?"
Felix Renton was not far away from the gathering and loudly told them, "Yori needed Ron for some mission. I think they are out of country right now. And since Ron is suspended, he doesn't have to check in."
"How do you know this gimp?", 'Eric' challenged.
"Ron and Yori were at the house last night getting Hanna's bag ready to go.", the wheelchair bound teen responded.
"Yeah,", Kim added, "Anyway, I had Wade send a signal to Ron's unit so I could listen in while they were flying, Yori and Ron were talking about something I think Ron was making something for has sister to eat."
"Isn't that unethical to listen in on a private conversation without them knowing?", Felix inquired.
The head cheerleader responded, "I just wanted to make sure that Ron was fine is all. I don't think I heard anything either secret or embarrassing. It is my job as team leader to make sure a team member is safe.", Kim covered for herself.
"Like you did such a good job of that last fall didn't ya Kim?", Felix snarked.
Eric ignored his girlfriend's input then sneered at the very smart kid who Ron lived with at the moment, "What makes you the idiot's protector gimp?"
"I'm his best friend since your girlfriend has given up that title.", Felix snarked right back at the 'English' snob.
Kim suddenly shuddered.
Tara King stepped in front of the paraplegic and announced, "I'm a good friend of Ron Stoppable's as well you Limey git." (The bubbly blonde knew she would get a talking to by her mother if the older woman ever found out….but the cheerleader didn't give a shit...AN)
Josh, who had been standing next to his girlfriend when she decided to take a stand, "I'm a good friend of Ron's. See there are a lot of us here at Middleton who support Ron Stoppable. I am proud to be a friend of his even if he got suspended from school. You are an asshole."
More teens began to crowd around Kim and Eric as well as the others who had spoken up. Finally, Justine Flanner and Big Mike Little pushed their way to the front. The blonde fireball in the blue plaid skirt pointed a finger at 'Eric' and suggested, "Why don't you go back to your estate in jolly ole England Eric, you have basically caused trouble since you arrived here. Sure, you've been dating a number of the 'hot' girls for the last six months, but to the rest of us it doesn't mean shit to any of us. If you push too hard you might find yourself in another reality and I have a machine that can make that happen. If you don't believe me ask your girlfriend."
'Eric' looked at Kim, who nodded.
The often smug 'teen' visibly gulped, then stated, "That would be murder…."
"Nah, that would just be moving your body to a different reality, if I worked on it, I might be able to bring it back like I did that dinosaur. Oh, I tested the machine the other day and it still works. Ask Possible's tech guy. He monitored it. He had Stoppable put a small plush toy into the field before I activated it and the toy disappeared."
Kim frowned, "I thought you deactivated that thing?"
Justine put her hands on her hips, "That thing is named the Kinematic Continuum Disruptor if you remember Possible. And what responsibilities for our science project have on that paper I gave you as your job assignment with that?"
Kim's left eye twitched, "It was blank."
"Yeah Possible, blank because I had it all figured out. All the research, all the design and all the production of the unit. That idiot Barkin didn't have to assign ME a partner. I had it all done except for writing the report and let's face it…you're not smart enough to figure it out although your old man might be. I coulda used even your sidekick…no that isn't right, he woulda been a better choice. Jenkins did alright in having him with her there." Sigh, "Anyway, one of the things that is paying for my college now that my patent has been approved is the KCD. There are some institutions what want to use it for research. Maybe Rockwaller was right, you are a loser.", Big Mike's girlfriend was on a roll.
Still being a prick, 'Eric' decided it was time to toss out some discord. He stepped close to Justine and balled up his hand into a fist and muttered, "If that idiot cannot get in trouble for striking someone, I fail to see how I will be able to."
Felix's eyes opened up and moved his chair in front of the larger 'teen' just as Eric threw the punch. It was not aimed well and grazed the paraplegic teen across his eye because his chair and bumped into the 'English teen'.
Not happy with missing his intended target, Eric pushed Felix away and took a second swing. This time Mike Little stepped in front of his girlfriend just as the fist was going to connect with her face, but in fact bounced off the larger-than-life teen's chest. The next thing they all heard was a deep growl.
Mikey grabbed the offending hand and with his weak one hit Eric right in the stomach which almost took the air out of everyone standing close. The immense teen growled deeply again, "Let's go outside punk. You tried to hurt Justy and you hit my friend who is in a wheelchair."
Eric tried to yank his hand out of the former lineman's grasp, but utterly failed.
"Mike let go of my boyfriend, please?", Kim asked her 'D' hall buddy as Bonnie, Liz and Dave walked up to the growing mass of teens.
"Er…ic tried to hurt Justy, he deserves to be in the hospital.", Mike Little responded, "He hit one of your friends…."
"Mike, Judge Snobblestone already hit Eric with a fine, he is used to speaking up against abusive behavior."
"Hitting people is abusive behavior Kim.", Justine countered, "Now I might have been outta line a little bit, but when your boyfriend decided to slug me, he should be aware that doing that could come with a hospital stay which my boyfriend is willing to give him."
Mike Little had still not let go of Eric's hand and began to squeeze it, Eric grit out, "I'll fucking put a bullet through your head…."
The platinum blonde cheerleader gasped as she heard exactly what was said.
Kim had enough and applied a pressure point on Mike Little's elbow. She grimaced as she had to push more than one knuckle in before the huge teen finally released his grip on 'Eric Thornbottom's hand.
The 'English' snob then was able to pull his hand back and said, "I meant it."
Tara pointed out then offered, "Kim that is a death threat, if Mike wanted to push it Eric would be sitting in a jail cell, I am a witness as are others here. I can call the cops you you know, anyway, Mike might have been wrong, but Eric tried to hit Justine, he did hit Felix. That's aggravated assault and the principal needs to know anyway now. Eric made the threat in front of a hall full of students. I can have the police here pronto. There is no real way to get out of this."
Kim sighed, "First Ron, now this."
"Ron?", Tara asked.
"Yeah, he left with Yori last night.", the head cheerleader responded.
Felix informed them, "Yeah Ron flew out late. I was up doing homework when he got home. He also took his sister with him."
Tara asked, "Why didn't Ron leave her here, the hospital has it's day care….."
Sigh, "Ron doesn't like living off the goodwill of others Tara. He's trying to make his way although he was suspended from school for dropping Barkin."
There was murmuring after a second or two, Felix added, "It's not like anyone else wouldn't want to do that."
Tara King said, "I didn't know he left, but I can say Mom wasn't happy about suspending Ron especially since Mister Barkin threatened Hanna earlier in the day. Maybe Ron just cracked from the strain."
Kim frowned, "I didn't know that…."
"Right in front of Missus Magrath, she was making to fire him on the spot.", Tara added, "It seems like there's a lot you don't know Kim."
Dave chuckled from behind them, "Barkin is an ass guys, you don't know how he treated Stoppable during the school year. He even had him do a nutcracker until Ron ended up with a dislocated shoulder, Doctor Spine from the school board diagnosed it and took him to the hospital….so Ron has a reason to pop Barkin, man is my uncle gonna have fun with this. After that interview airs shit is gonna hit the fan in this town. I wonder if they yank Barkin's standing towards becoming the coach of the year in Colorado?"
Both Kim and Eric stopped for a moment until the red head asked, "What are you talking about Alberts?"
"Wait till the interview airs this summer Possible. All of this crapola is going to blow up in their faces all because of a thirty-minute interview."
Felix added, "CSU is planning on yanking Ron's scholarship the word should be out by the weekend."
Kim Possible's face towards Felix, "Why…."
"Ron called them from the police station and advised them to yank his scholarship Possible. And this summer Ron is moving to Lowerton. I saw the place, it's under construction and I think he's gonna be wanting some help from the footballers to help him move. He's really serious about leaving."
By this time four schoolteachers along with Missus Magrath arrived.
"What happened here students?", Hippy Alice asked.
Justine stepped forward and offered since she knew that there were surveillance cameras in the whole school for security, "Uh I was sorta snarking on Possible when her boyfriend took offense to it and tried to smack me around. First Felix tried to get in the way of the punch, but he got hit and then Eric tried to hit me again and that's when Mike got involved. Eric hit Mike and Mike hit Eric. It sorta escalated from there."
Sigh, "Okay we have the films, and I will be reviewing those tapes and be forewarned there will be penalties being leveled for fighting. Mister Thornbottom, Miss Flanner and Mister Little please follow me to the office. Mister Renton do you need assistance? You have a mark on your face."
"No Ma'am, Eric hits like a wimpy girl."
"Very well go to class then, Miss Possible, please follow along. We will speak with the other students involved at some time during the day and tomorrow. The rest of you students are dismissed, please stay out of trouble."
The upset high school principal was not happy and hadn't been for a few days. One of her students (who had an athletic scholarship was on the cusp of having that pulled because he had defended himself and had been 'booked' at the police station.) Those events were sure to give the whole school system a black eye all because a federal law enforcement agency had gotten involved in a corruption investigation.
The students (and teachers) followed the school administrator into a conference room in the offices. "Gentlemen please go to your classes, but Mister Jefferies please stay, oh tell a member of security to come here.", Alice instructed.
Once they were all seated Alice began, "First I may suspend people for violence in the school place. Miss Possible, you may leave, but be forewarned I will not tolerate more of these kinds of activities in the future. Miss Flanner, I understand your nature, but I do not want you to set people straight, you have two days detention after school for two hours both today and tomorrow, you may leave." Once they had left she continued, "Mister Little you have two hours of detention for the next five school days starting tonight. Get a hall pass and go to your classroom. Mister Thornbottom…what am I supposed to do with you?"
Eric took this moment to say, "I was simply defending the honor of Miss Possible Missus Magrath…."
Alice cut him off cold, "You physically attacked a female student at this institution of learning Mister Thornbottom is that what they taught you at Eaton? If Mister Renton and Mister Little had not gotten in the way Miss Flanner could have been injured. Violence here will not be tolerated; doyou understand me?"
"Alice…."
"Missus Magrath Mister Thornbottom, remember that. Only my friends use my first name and you are not one of those. In the United States we are not a class-based society unlike what is prevalent in England. You would be well served to understand that completely if you are going to reside here for any time in the future. Now, what do you think I should do with your disrespect of other students?", she inquired of who she thought was a teen.
"Well?", she leaned over her desk to stare at the young man.
"I suppose I could entertain the idea of giving a heartfelt apology to Miss Flanner…."
"And Mister Renton?", Alice asked then added, "Although an apology to the whole school for acting out in school with violence might be even better."
"Ah yes, if that is all…."
"Not quite Mister Thornbottom, I wish to speak with your parents about your behavior."
"Ma'am….uh they do not reside in this country.", 'Eric' reminded her.
"I am aware of that little factoid Mister Thornbottom by guessing from your accent, I however do know how to make an international call. I presume they speak English. Am I correct in that assumption?", Alice queried.
"Yes Ma'am, I am not sure what country they are in at the moment. You have to understand that my family moves around frequently for business."
"Hummm, do you not live with adults? I was appraised that you had several whom traveled with you to Middleton."
"Yes Ma'am, my uncle is my closest relative and he is here. He just got back from traveling to Europe for some business I had for him, but yes he is here.", 'Eric' affirmed then added, "One of my retainers might be better suited though."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"He really isn't my uncle; he is more of a best friend of my mother's. She has relatives in Germany and Otto is German by birth. He volunteered to come with me on this adventure.", 'Eric'/Hans explained hoping the bull shit he was spreading was going to work. He also knew that things might get messy if people started investigating too closely.
"You understand Mister Thornbottom, that if your pseudo uncle does not provide appropriate assurances that this conduct you have displayed will not occur again you will be arrested by the Middleton Police department and you will stand before a judge in a court of law. I understand that you have been accepted to a prestigious university in England and they will be made aware of any disciplinary consequences that are applied to you.", Missus Magrath left the threat hanging.
"Yes Ma'am, that is all….", Eric began to rise from his seat.
"Not quite, as you have seen I have passed out summery punishment to the others involved in this, I assure you Young man in a moment you will also be included in that action."
"Ma'am?"
"Therefore, you will be incarcerated for two weeks starting today for two hours after school and to be sure you behave there will be a security officer on hand, if you understand my meaning. Also, if I do not have my concerns alleviated by your 'uncle' about your future conduct I will let the judicial system handle your case. I want you to know right up front I want to suspend you from the campus and send that notification to your parents and your future school. If I do that I will notify authorities and you will be removed from the country."

"I swear this river is more mud that water.", Ron griped as the five plus several others rode in a large boat down to the East China Sea.
Yori smiled, "Enjoy the ride Stoppable-san, we have three hours of travel yet before we reach our destination."
"Luckily I brought Hanna's diaper bag….uh I think I'd better change her.", Ron responded after he found out he was down wind of his sister.
