The Hunter Book Two

by Sentinel103

A continuation of The Hunter Book One.

34. Chapter 34

And moving right along….what are we going to see in this installment? Maybe the gossip queen of Middleton gets to find out that picking on certain people has consequences. Maybe someone is spilling about all the criming going on in the state athletic consortium. Maybe something happens that affects our hero in a non-positive way. Think of it was sorting out plot lines. For a while the plot line looked like a bowl of spaghetti, it should look less so in about five or six chapters.

I want to thank everyone who has read, alerted, faved, followed and or reviewed this tale so far. So, let's get into those reviews: Bobtrumpet, you know one of these days I'm gonna ask why 'Bobtrumpet'. I don't really have something like that planned for the dead agent or Ron, this was to show Ron that bad things DO happen to GJ assets and I needed to finish that plot line….yes there will be another scene, but it will be in book 3; Slayer, Kimmie doesn't see Eric really as being violent. Of course, she deals with villains and crooks as a world saving heroine, so Kim is kinda skewed about this; CB73, yeah Eric is getting careless in how he deals with Kim and Ron because he understands that Ron is a lightweight compared to himself.

Jimmy1201, Will Du isn't a jerk all the time, he also understands that Ron could be an asset to GJ. Yes, Eric has pushed. I think he wants to get into Possible's drawers more than he lets on.

Jimmy1201 edited this chapter just so y'all know.

Let's get this one on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two

Chapter 34

Middleton, Colorado:

The fashionista stared at her prey walking down the hallway. She had gone wayyyy out of her way to get the slip of paper so she would have time to do this without getting detention from Steve Barkin. She hurried to cut him off from entering the classroom. Once she grabbed Ron Stoppable's arm she grit out, "Sidekick, we gotta talk, capeesh?"

The blond teen frowned and snapped his arm out of her grasp. "What do you need Monique? I have class in three minutes and so do you, I don't wanna get nailed for being tardy."

The African American teen waved a yellow slip of paper, "I have an excuse and so do you being a jock and all."

Ron kept his frown still not over the gossip queen of Middleton High's attempt at crashing his credibility, "Again, what do you need?"

"I heard Eric backed off from trying to have your sister taken away."

Ron was getting used to rolling his eyes, "Yeah, until the next time he wants to screw with me that is. I think he knows that my sister is about the only thing I give a rat's ass about anymore. Still not sure how he gets that holier than though attitude though. Must be a nobility thing or it could just be that he is an asshole."

"Kim really gave him the what for when he mentioned it."

"Monique, you don't know about the shit storm he and Kim started for me. Those people from Children and Family Services call me about every other day. That is harassment, (Monique stepped back at the look in the blond's eyes) I'm going to see if I can get a direct line to them to where I am staying so it will be easier than calling them back. Anyway, the last time they even said I was doing a good job taking care of Sis."

"Listen Stoppable, I wasn't behind Eric pulling that...I want you to know that, and neither was Kim."

"I don't really care," the former running back responded.

"I just want to…"

"Listen Monique..."

The warning bell for class sounded.

Ron turned as Justine Flanner brushed by him to enter the classroom. The former running back looked over his shoulder and said, "We can talk about this some other time when I get a couple seconds to breathe...later."

'Like in ten years you bitch.,' Ron left unsaid as he walked into the AP physics class. (Of course, our hero knew that the way his life was going the chance of speaking with any members of his high school would be non-existent in a decade...AN)

The fashionista's shoulders slumped in defeat as she trudged to her next class. When she entered her class (Western Civilization) she handed the permission slip to the instructor and sat down behind Bonnie Rockwaller. The number two cheerleader cocked her head as she wondered what had gotten Jenkins down.

Private residence, Lowerton, Colorado (by the warehouses):

"Jacob, Mister Stinkle please have a seat; these two gentlemen are Special Agent Charley Grimes and Special Agent Lester Shimble. They are going to be the agents in charge of the now open investigation into possible illegal activities of the Middleton Athletic Boosters and what you refer to as 'the Consortium'.", Special Agent Simon Ribbots introduced the parties to each other, "Mister Stinkle is Mister Rockwaller's attorney, Mister Rockwaller is the former head of the Middleton High athletic boosters."

X

"Mister Rockwaller, this is an immunity agreement we have prepared having gone over the high points of the case so far. The story you have told us is quite compelling and we are interested in it. In short if you cooperate and tell us all, we will support you not being prosecuted by the federal and state governments. Just so you know that in doing so you will admit guilt and maybe end up testifying in court as part of the agreement.", Lester Shimble told Jacob as he placed the document in front of the older Rockwaller and his attorney.

"May we have a few days to study this offer and to consider how it will affect Mister Rockwaller's and his family's lives?", Stinkle inquired.

"Of course, take a week or two, it is slightly complicated, and I would think you would need to confer with specialists in this field of law," Grimes suggested, "But note if you break the agreement or are not completely truthful, we will consider the agreement null and void, and you may be prosecuted."

The lawyer glanced at his client, "We will not say or do anything more until we consult someone who understands this part of the law, I am going to insist that the witness protection program be on the table as Mister Rockwaller and his family may need to be off the radar for the foreseeable future."

Shimble responded, "I think that is wise to request that. We of course will have to investigate how we want to implement this for Mister Rockwaller and his family."

Jacob Rockwaller revealed to the agents, "My youngest daughter is dating a young man who has...well supervillain ties. He is quite wealthy and owns an island. He might be able to support us and keep us safe and he has the resources to do this for hundreds of years. Bonnie's boyfriend and his Father are trying to go straight and if they get their deal through there will be an international police agency that we will have to deal with."

The agents glanced back and forth. "We will have to meet with this agency Mister Rockwaller before we are able to cooperate with them."

Middleton High:

"What was that all about with Jenkins, Stoppable?" the blonde genius asked quietly as she pulled out her homework assignment.

Ron whispered as Charles Morris was taking attendance, "I have no idea brain girl, she made it clear to me last winter that she didn't want anything to do with me and now she wants to talk...like we're best buds or something. And no. we're not."

"Well, she's treated you like shit for the last three months, maybe she finally pulled her head out of her ass."

Ron rolled his eyes as the teacher finished and called for homework to be passed forward, "About time, but knowing her now, I think she will have a relapse soon."

Museum of Antiquities London, England:

The dark form climbed down the intricately carved column wearing a pair of special low light goggles with filters that allowed it to see the lasers that provided an extra level of security for the ancient scrolls. The interesting thing was that the form used its feet while descending the vertical support.

Slipping around all the beams and making sure that it didn't touch them was dead easy for this being. It removed its goggles and stashed them then put a covering over its hand and smashed the bullet proof glass that enclosed the ancient scrolls. It quickly removed all the documents, put them into a pouch, and sprinted back towards the escape route that it had previously planned and began to climb the walls almost monkey style and then used a roof supporting beam and quickly got on it and made its way to the sky light.

Before the form disappeared, he glanced down at the guards entering the room and chuckled silently to himself, 'Soon the buffoon will pay, and the monkey power will belong to only me.'

Middleton high after the last class of the day:

Beep Beep Da Beep.

Ron Stoppable pulled out his old-style device as he left the classroom. "Yeah Wade."

"There is a request for your assistance from the 'Y' team. Pick up is in one hour at the Renton's place. Grab your stuff," the tech guru responded.

"No Kim?"

"They don't trust her right now Ron, so no."

"Any fighting Wade?" Ron asked.

"No, just investigating. Why?"

"Any idea how long this is gonna take?"

"Ron you're just helping to gather information, that's all. You should be back by morning," Wade assured the blond teen.

"Soo, is it safe to bring Sis? Misses Renton is at some conference about AIs or something and I just can't see imposing on Felix and the others for this, I've been doing that too much as it is."

"Yeah, it should be safe Ron. All they said was they wanted your expertise to confirm their suspicions."

"Okay, I'll pick up Hanna at the day-care and stock her diaper bag at the Renton's then we'll wait for the transport to get there. This should be easy peasy unless we miss something like we did with the diablos."

"I agree Ron and you will have a special security person with you..."

"Hirotaka? I haven't seen him since he opened me up," Ron said, "Well pretty much Antubi too, either one of them could have been my executioners, I sooo need to punch them out for that."

"No, someone else is who they are sending. They said it was a surprise." [Jimmy: it seems like one would not expect having Ninjas jump out shouting "Surprise!" means that unexpected cake and ice cream were coming. That is, a Ninja telling you "we want it to be a surprise" means to wear the good body armor.]

"Well since Kimmie is on their 'do not trust' list it can't be her," Ron observed.

"I agree, it can't be Kim, she's having dinner with Jenkins after work."

Ron grinned, "I hope Kim's happy and I'm glad she is gainfully employed and paying taxes. Oh, Monique tried to talk with me today at school...I sorta brushed her off. Maybe she'll get the idea that I don't wanna be around her anymore."

"Maybe that will get her to stay away from you…"

"I can hope…Sooo, lemme get this straight. No Kim, right?"

"Right, there is no reason for her to be along. Just you, Hanna and their security person."

"Sounds good. , later bud."

The former head of the athletic boosters in Middleton, Colorado removed his light jacket after walking into his house. The phone rang. Jacob picked it up and asked, "Yes?"

"Mister Rockwaller we need your assistance; are you able to do so?" a familiar voice inquired.

"If it's about the athletic boosters, I am not involved with them anymore and they have changed the passwords and the account signature cards at the banks," Jacob informed the man on the other end of the connection.

"Surely you have some influence left..."

"No, they actually want to change the direction the association was headed so I am out with no influence whatsoever."

"Who is the new head of the athletic boosters then?"

Rockwaller frowned not knowing if his phone was 'wired' or not and was silently hoping it was, "Chester Wilmington, he is wielding a heavy hand towards members and players, but that's the way he manages from what I hear."

"Do you have his phone number Rockwaller?"

"No, when I left the association, I destroyed all my contact lists," Jacob lied having already turned them over to the feds.

"You know what happens if you speak about this and the other calls and meetings, correct?"

"You made that clear last fall Sir."

"Good, I am glad we understand each other."

The connection then disconnected.

The former head of the athletic boosters put the receiver down as he breathed a sigh of relief.

XXX

Otto Schmitt A.K.A. Horst Webber stared down at his cell phone, 'Well, we can't use Rockwaller anymore. I wonder, I wonder if this 'Wilmington' fool will collaborate with us. I suppose I need to contact him as well as keeping an eye on Rockwaller for a while.'

The former German operative frowned as he planned who to take on his retrieval mission later in the day. He knew Tom Bridgestone was returning in a few days to take a less active role in the team because he needed a lot less exposure than he had since he was now wanted for murdering Barbara Stoppable.

Drakken's lair:

"Well, Shego, did you take a temporary position with Middleton high school?"

"Yeah, blue boy, but it's only going to be for about ten classroom days while one of their regular teachers is out sick. I start tomorrow. I had to rent an apartment under some hussy's name and use her IDs to pull it off. The reason though was to find out what is going on with Stoppable and Possible, we've seen some things…they are not as close. That memory thing targeting her might be working too well and that allergy stuff...just tell me, do you have an antidote?"

"I have the formula for the allergy part of it Shego, but not the ingredients. I'll have you do a midnight requisition after you return. Go ahead and pack your things. We won't be able to use any schemes for making quick cash or take over the world attempts for the foreseeable future until you return then," Doctor 'D' informed his sidekick, "Now are you sure that they can't trace anything back to us?"

The former member of Team Go raised her eyebrows then headed to her room to gather her clothes that she was going to need for the next couple of weeks. And it griped her ass to look 'professional.' 'I am sooo going to need a long vacation with Antione when this is over.,' she thought to herself.

An hour later:

The villainess sat next to her boss with her suitcases already loaded and related her day, "Ya know Drewbie, that idiot vice-principal they have there was hitting on me while he was giving me the tour of the place, but I felt like someone walking over my grave for some reason when we checked out the library."

"Do you want me to have a talk with him Shego?"

"I'll have the buffoon take care of the teacher if he stays annoying Doc."

"I'm going to make dinner with coco moo, and I have peanut butter stickies for dessert. You might as well partake before you leave," the supposedly mad scientist told her.

"I expect to be back on the weekend Doc, so I want a good dinner Friday night with wine and a good desert and rest my aching feet from those little monsters. During the weekdays I'll either get something on the way in and eat in the cafeteria during lunch and go out for dinner."

"Shego all that restaurant food is not good for you..."

"It's only for a couple weeks and I have a high metabolism. I'll live."

Shego looked over at the clock, "Okay, I'll be back Friday night. When I leave, lock it down hard. I don't wanna have to blow my cred teaching school to break you out of jail blue boy."

"Mmmmmggghhh, oh alright Shego."

Ron carried his sister into the Renton home and went into her room to get a couple changes of clothes for her and diapers along with wipes and lotion and the sling that would allow Ron to carry Hanna while keeping his hands free (the device was given to him by Tara a month previously). Then he went into the kitchen and pulled out four baby bottles filled with milk and stashed them into the insulated part of the bag and then put her bowl and sippy cup in. He placed that near the front door and carried the baby downstairs and quickly changed then grabbed his mission pack. He asked his sister, "Well what did I forget this time lil intruder?"

A ptttttthhhh followed by laughter was the only reaction he got.

The blond teen glanced outside and heard the roar of engines as the VTOL aircraft landed lightly in the middle of the street.

Ron put his pack on, the sling on and picked up his sister and grabbed her diaper bag before the aircraft's engines stopped. He went out then closed the door behind him and locked it. "Come on sis, let's get this mission on the road so we can get back home."

As Ron got to the side of the craft the hatch opened and stairs deployed. Our hero shrugged as he climbed up the steps and entered the aircraft. Two lithe arms hugged the teen. "Ron-kun, how have you been?" Yori asked.

"It's been a bad year Yori. Let us fasten in and I'll tell ya," the blond teen responded as he moved further into the VTOL aircraft as she tapped a button then secured the hatch. The petite Japanese girl then led Ron and his sister to a couple of seats then went to the cockpit.

The baby bounced as Ron fastened her in and pulled out a stuffed toy for to amuse her. He then fastened his seat belt as he heard the turbines spooling up. Yori sat down opposite the Chosen One and fastened her seat belt. As the turbines began to 'spin up.'

The lovely shinobi began, "As your former girlfriend said…spill Ron-san."

"You know being a single parent and going to school and working at the same time sucks Yori."

"We have had word; you have the sympathies of Yamanouchi for the loss of your parents," Yori then somehow reached over and played with Hanna's leg which caused the tot to giggle.

"Thanks, Dad had a procedure in the hospital that went bad, and somebody murdered Mom in her room. Sigh. I'm the head of the house now," Ron informed his ninja friend.

Yori's eyes narrowed, "Do they have any idea who did that?"

"Mom's nurse is a suspect since he went missing the same time and I guess still is," Ron explained as he shook his head, "I don't have a lot of extra time to look at it you know."

"Do you have his name? When this threat is over, we could send some of our better operatives to find him and bring him to justice or make him disappear permanently," Yori offered as the VTOL craft began to rise.

"I have it written down at home, I'll have Wade send it to ya along with everything we have so you guys can waste manpower on it."

Yori nodded as Ron inquired, "How are things at Yamanouchi and how is Hiro?"

"Hiro-kun is on assignment coordinating the search for the threat that Japan is facing."

Ron frowned, "Kim's boyfriend sued Mom and Dad's estates and got the house."

"Where are you living Ron-san, I would hate to see my niece living on the street. That would get Sensei to go on the war path."

"With the Renton's where you just picked us up, Sensei told them about Yamanouchi last summer," Ron continued to explain, "Since we now have all this crap going down, I told him to delete everything he knew or had any data of, then deny all knowledge if there were inquiries…for the most part I did that with Wade too although Doc Possible got the tweebs to hack into Wade's systems. The rocket scientist admitted doing that to both Wade and me. Anyway, after school gets out, I'm moving out of town with Sis and will try to keep a low profile."

"We have spoken with your tech person Ron-san now why did this person sue you?"

"Supposedly Eric slipped and hurt his back on what was our property while coming over for Dad's funeral. Anyway, If I hadn't just given it to him, he could have dragged me through legal hell and who knows what else until he and his ambulance chaser wanted to, he might even have heard about a certain ninja school at some point," Ron explained, "And there is no way we want that out in the public. Sensei drove that point home during training."

"I agree, secrecy is important to Yamanouchi Ron-san. There are things I do not even know."

Ron spoke as the craft began going forward, "Yeah, but you know about your Grand Father Yori."

"It is so although not many know how many 'greats' are before 'grand'," Yori now giggled then turned serious, "You understand that your travelling spirit must join with Kim-san's spirit before Grandfather can go to his rest. And he craves his final rest."

"I know, but I think Lord Toshimiru is going to have to wait until the next time my spirit meets Kim's spirit. I think it's not going to work out this time," Ron have Yori a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "She will be going to school in England in the fall with her boy toy and probably will make a life of it with him."

"And you?"

"Kim will be off to college and future adventures Yori, I will have Hanna to look after for the foreseeable future. Once Sis is further along and at Yamanouchi, I will be able to continue to do what I was trained to do, and she will have the protection and training of the school."

"But that is years in the future Ron-san."

The American teen didn't want to continue this and asked, "What about this mission?"

"We are going to a museum in London where there was a theft of a part of a special scroll."

"Must be some kind of special to get a secret ninja school's top operative to come halfway around the world to investigate said theft. You guys should swipe all this stuff and lock it up nice and tight," Ron suggested.

Yori was still curious about Kim Possible's interest with another male, "Possible-san still has no memory of your romance with her?"

"Nope, not since before Thanksgiving. Eric moved in faster that I thought possible," Ron snorted at the pun he just made, "I just think that what we had was basically a long one-night stand that she finally grew out of. And since I came back from Japan, she is allergic to me."

Yori pointed out, "Our scrolls say you are destined to be together…"

"Maybe, but not in this life. If I come back as a mole rat it might work out."

Yori laughed out loud, "You and your American style buffoonery."

The Japanese teen then studied the American and seeing some differences with him since the last time she saw Ron in person, she asked, "Ron-san are you well?"

"Huh, yeah…I guess. Why?"

"You appear thinner than last winter when you were at the school.", Yori confided.

"My appetite has been crappy all semester Yori. I don't have time to go out and...well, I really don't want to go to Bueno Nacho anymore since Kim can't be there with me…and I miss my parents and now one of my best friends has been murdered in a robbery attempt. Sigh. It would suck to eat a naco by myself and sis is too young for that stuff.", Ron made the excuses aloud that he had been telling himself since Kim didn't hang out with him anymore, but then he realized he couldn't eat with her close because he had to wear his suit. The American teen looked down at his sister, "I don't fit in even as well with anyone else even more than when I was a pretty much a loner. I keep thinking that if Mom and Dad weren't my Mom and Dad and I never played football, they would still be around. You know what hits me most?"

Yori shook her head.

Ron continued, "Rufus, the hero of Drakken's take over the world attempt is dead. I swear that people who get too close to me end up getting killed and I don't know what to do about it...if someone tried to hurt Hanna, I don't know what I'd do."

The shinobi stared at her friend who began to play with Hanna's ear, "You are growing up Ron Stoppable, you have taken on the responsibilities of an adult. Yes, you need assistance, but you are working through your problems. Maybe after Possible-san moves off to college you should come and make your residence at the sacred mountain. Maybe there you will meet someone who would wish to be with you in the manner that your EX wanted to last summer. Now let me sit by my niece while you take my seat."

"Thanks for that Yori and it strokes my ego, but I'm gonna be the guy who raises his sister so she can be successful. As long as I keep Kim safe till after high school, I will have that done and then I only have one more job to do that was assigned to me and the way the lil intruder is it might be a full-time job.", Ron said as he unbuckled and rose from his seat.

Kim had decided to walk to school early that morning because it was a nice day and later, she had decided to walk home as well so she declined the ride from Eric. The red-haired heroine wondered what her blond friend was doing, so she pushed the 'connect' button on her wrist unit. Wade's hologram appeared, "Hey Kim, how was your day?"

"Good and I'm just walking home from school to pick up the Sloth because I have to drive into Club Banana for my shift. Monique and I have a dinner planned after we get off," Kim explained her plans for the night.

"Uh, why didn't you drive?", Wade inquired.

"I thought that stretching my legs would feel good, and the day was going to be nice." Then asked, "Where's Ron and did he finally get all his test scores for his college exams?"

"Ron didn't get the one set and the other was pretty dismal. I mean I was watching his progress and I thought he'd do alright, not genius level, but good enough to make the cut at several colleges," Wade told the red head while thinking it was a bit odd that Eric wasn't driving her...

"Isn't that funny?" Kim asked, "I thought he was doing pretty well. But I guess the other scores were just as bad and they decided not to release them so they wouldn't embarrass Ron."

"Well, I know Ron took them Kim, I sorta hacked their data base and he was there, but the scores never showed up."

"How can Ron take those high-level classes at high school and bomb his entrance exams Wade?"

"I don't know, some people just don't test well, but I hacked the school and since January Ron's grades have jumped to 'A' level in all his classes. He won't make the top ten percent by graduation, but he will graduate Kim," Wade didn't inform Kim of the procedure that the blond teen underwent at GJ to help him study better because she might think that it was a way for Ron Stoppable to cheat the system.

"Wade would you look as deep as you can go, I think something smells here.", requested the world heroine.

"I'll take another look at it, Kim, but it's gonna be on the back burner, I have other things up that need to get done."

"Like what?"

"Like my next PhD…"

"Oh, well can you connect me to Ron?"

"Sure...uh, his unit is off Kim."

"Then how about his cell phone?"

"I checked that too, it's off as well.", Wade replied when he finished typing.

Sigh, "Check his chip Wade, he has to be at the Renton's, the hospital or his work or in transit."

(More typing)

"Yeah, Ron's in transit.", Wade informed the teen not wanting to tell her that Yamanouchi called Ron out.

"So, where is he?"

"He's over eastern Nebraska at the moment," Wade had to tell Kim the truth since she was going to rip it out of him anyway and he knew that he might as well get it over with.

"What the hell is Ron doing there…hold it you said over; spill Wade."

"Kim don't get mad, Ron got called out for a favor and before you ask, you weren't invited.", Wade got out before Kim's temper could get going.

"How do you know that Wade?"

"Yamanouchi contacted Ron through me.", Wade confessed.

"And they didn't bother to tell you where he was going?"

"Not a clue except for Ron's chip.", Wade responded.

"And you know for sure that it's working properly?"

"I do. And I was assured that he was just going along to assist in some research Kim."

Sigh, "Very well, but he and I are going to have a talk about this. I'll speak with you later Wade."

"Have a good time at work Kim," Wade broke the connection with a sigh of relief because he had caught the visual of Ron and Hanna getting on the aircraft and he knew who the 'other' person was and the genius was more that savvy enough to guess that Kim might still be jealous of the Japanese girl because she sure was before Ron and the red head began dating.

The ranch:

Hans/Eric stood at the outside shooting range and ejected the mag from his SIG and set it on the table next to him then removed his hearing protection.

Otto asked from behind his nephew as he observed the frustrated young man, "You are hurrying your shots, relax, breathe, take your time."

The leader of the group nodded and pulled his hearing protection back down over his ears then picked up his 'piece' and slapped home another mag and retook his 'Weaver' stance.

"Want to talk about it, Hans?" Otto inquired as he raised his glass.

"I really wanted to pry the child away from the boy...no that's not right, I still want to do that because I want to make a point in this exercise that I can and will do anything to complete an operation. This is about our future fees you understand."

"It's also about your fragile ego too Hans, in some ways I know you better than you know yourself," the older German responded.

Hans/Eric smirked, "It is almost worth losing my personal payoff with the red-head to get the child away from the idiot."

"Nephew, you have almost destroyed that teen's life and you want to continue? Eventually, someone is going to start looking into why one Ronald Dean Stoppable has such bad luck. His girlfriend doesn't remember his romance, she is allergic to him enough so that she can't be in the same room, both of his parents are now dead as is his pet. You have come close to alienating him from some of his friends, you have taken his house and had him fired from his job. You have also destroyed his chance for going to college at least this year by sabotaging his entrance exams as well as a few other things."

"It's still not enough Uncle, I want the child and I want the secrets in Doctor Possible's head. If Kimmie finds out her father getting into trouble was because of our infatuation with little Ronnie she might decide to murder him herself. And that would be a great ending to this story."

"Hans going down this road is going to get some of us killed, but if you have your heart set on the child; I ask, do you want the child or do you just want the child away from the teen?"

"I would rather have her..."

"Having the child taken away by those people who interviewed you would deflect away from us and still accomplish the goal and removing her from him would it not?"

Hans shook his head, "I suppose I could live with it as long as I got footage of them taking her."

"Good, all we have to show evidence of is something called 'child endangerment.' They would remove the child and we wouldn't have to care for it, and it would be free and clear for us to get away. Hauling a baby through customs we would need paperwork and if we tried to forge those documents we might get caught because we may have to move fast, and I will not leave the child behind if we have custody of her. Also, getting international papers done on a short time schedule might be more than we can pull off.", Otto informed him.

London, England:

"Now where are we going Yori?" Ron inquired as Hanna yawned on his lap while he sat in the covert black cab.

"The Natural History Museum to meet with Inspector James Stewart about the theft.", the dark-eyed shinobi responded.

"We are close to the museum, and that is Hyde Park on your left.", the driver informed the three in the back (although the tot was asleep at this point of the trip…AN)

X

"And this is the museum you requested Yori-san. I will wait for your call although it will take me about ten minutes to get here."

After they got out, Ron asked, "Yamanouchi?"

Yori nodded, "Our graduates are all over the world Ron-san. Come let us proceed with this investigation, Sensei wants to know what is missing."

Okay, stuff was covered in this one some of which will affect Ron's future and you'll see it when it comes, and I bet no one but Jimmy and CB catch it yet. CB has known about this since the early part of book 1.

Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Monique, Tara, Josh and all the other 'canon' characters of the show 'Kim Possible' belong to Bob, Mark and the Disney Corporation. Jimmy, CajunBear and I only do this as a non-profit hobby. Hopefully in the long run we can give you some sleepless nights.

We'll see ya down the road,
