Here we are again guys. As you are aware this tale is quite long and I am still writing chapter 95 (but I am nearing the end at that point.) Book 2 is slated to run to about 2 days after graduation and book 3 is planned to cover the rest. Notice that Book 3 will have time jumps in it.
Also, there is no blood spilled in this chapter so relax.
Now that I have that out of the way I want to thank everyone who has read, faved, alerted, followed and/or reviewed this tale. And this is where I get to answer some of the reviews: CB73, if Yamanouchi wanted Kim's help Ron wouldn't have a problem with it. Wilmington is an 'a' hole. Rockwaller sees him for what he is and makes plans. Annie won't catch up fast enough though. Monique is trying for redemption….we'll see what happens; Darkendlight74, when all this comes to light….completely? Well all is made known in book 3, but a lot of it will happen by the end of this book; Jimmy1201, yes Kimmie is infatuated with Eric/Hans and will pretty much stay so through the end of this book. Eric/Hans' plans are working quite well. (If someone is an international criminal, he has to be fairly good at this.)
Again, I want to thank my two betas for all the work they have done.
Let's get this show on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 44
Laos:
Yori stepped off the helicopter and waited for the blond American in the small clearing the black chopper had landed in.
Said American teen grunted, "Ya know Yori, I really hate the jungle. This place reminds me of that talisman in my chest from last summer and how much that hurt."
"This is not a 'true' jungle, the trees are too far apart. It is more of a dense forest," the lithe shinobi corrected. "Does it still bother you Ron-san?" the lithe shinobi asked her friend as he passed her.
"The thing in my chest? No, not really, but jungles or dense forests mean monkeys and monkeys can mean Monkey Fist. And where he is, there is danger, at least to me. Like I told Kim at the time, he was five hundred miles of bad road, and I was proven right when he tried to murder me a couple of times."
[Jimmy: Have you forgotten what "the thing in his chest" refers to? Just to remind yourself how quickly Ron's life has gone south, take a look at chapter 10 of the first book: s/7694124/10/The-Hunter-Book-One You will see one of Ron's early struggles with Monkey Fist and how much Kim adored her blond BFF. AKA, The Good Times] (The author hasn't forgotten Jimmy. The sad sack author will bring things back as needed…..AN)
Yori giggled, "I agree, but you have to also agree that he is just a fly in the ointment, but I think he is just an irritant more than anything else. You have proved yourself worthy by defeating him more than once."
"Yeah, my personal enemy is an irritant. A genetically enhanced kung fu master who thinks I stole something from him before I could even drive and whose feet can grab you by the neck is an irritant, a dangerous damned irritant. I am sooooo lucky," Ron mocked himself, "Kim's foes are so much cooler; a blue skinned mad man, a green skinned homicidal merc, a skirt wearing golfer with exploding golf balls and a German genius who wears a pot over his head and his goal is to turn the universe inside out….and let's not forget a nine foot tall alien who we sent off on a wild goose chase across the galaxy. I just hope to hell that doesn't come back to bite us in the ass."
Yori looked surprised, "An alien? I have not heard of this. Tell me more."
"She was a big sucker too. It took the tweebs' smarts plus both Kim and the green skinned merc I mentioned to beat her. It didn't make it into the reports, the government doesn't want that detail out there where people can freak out about being little short guys from space making funning looking 'V' with their fingers saying 'live long and prosper', so Wade sorta scrubbed that one off the site after some guys in black suits and sun glasses came to speak with us about secrets. Anyway, she had some crazy tech and was taking oxygen out of the air…," Ron informed his Japanese friend who used to have a crush on him.
"But that would kill off all life on Earth," Yori observed as she kindled a very deep dislike for this alien. In short, the alien creature had threatened the life of Yori's niece and the shinobi at that moment decided that the large creature from another world would be a corpse if she ever met her in battle.
"Hey, Yori, are you alright…you sorta spaced there for a second," Ron observed out loud since he didn't hear her walking behind him.
"You were saying Ron-san?" the Japanese teen inquired to deflect the blond's question.
"Yeah, I'm a little worried about that alien returning, but Kim is capable, and I can clean up the gore after she's done with Warmonga," Ron explained.
"Warmonga?" Yori's eyes narrowed.
Ron clarified, "Yeah, according to Kim and what we heard over the Kimmunicator that was the alien's name. Anyway, she was looking for something called 'The Great Blue'."
"Either of us can take the alien Ron-san…. trust me on this. Most especially you since you are powered by the MMP."
"I'm still not sure about the monkey mojo Yori…. since Kim and I are not together anymore. Anyway, the alien was really powerful, she was able to take on both Shego and Kim at the same time and fight them to a standstill. I mean they got their shots in, but so did she and Kim was even wearing her super suit," Ron informed his female friend who Kim Possible used to be jealous of.
"Super suit?" Yori inquired.
"Yeah, it's a garment that Wade developed to give Kim the edge over Shego when they fought. She first wore it about a year ago. If you see her wearing a silver and blue skintight suit, be careful. She can move faster, jump higher and turn invisible," Ron warned having now turned serious, "I don't know if there is a shortcut other than the one Dementor found with the suit; Wade has already run a fix on the suit to bypass anything that dwarf might come up with. So, if you ever have to face Kim or someone else in that suit be very careful, they are faster and stronger."
"If Miss Possible and I cross paths again I will use caution if she is wearing white," Yori agreed.

The FBI special agent rose from his seat and shook Jacob Rockwaller's hand and informed him, "I had one of my agents try to contact young Mister Stoppable and all we got was a cell phone and a young man answering for Team Possible. We gave him some basic information with the instruction to call us back when he returns from his trip."
Jacob inquired, "Stoppable is out of town?"
The agent nodded.
"Then he and Miss Possible might be together. Her parents would know. Anyway, do not let Steven Barkin know anything about what you are trying to do. He is in the middle of everything, and the school board might be terminating him this summer according to rumors," Rockwaller surmised out loud then added, "My youngest went on a 'mission' with Kim and Ron to Italy last fall. She met her newest boyfriend there. His family is basically one of the richest on the planet."
"Your daughter's boyfriend is Señor Senior, Junior, correct?"
He continued once Rockwaller nodded, "have you made contact with the Senior family…. they have petitioned to have their crimes absolved and that is under consideration in various courts in countries at the moment."
"I haven't as yet…."
"We will want you and your family under cover before we can drop the hammer, but we are looking to start arrests about the middle to the end of June and you and your family must have safety procedures in place by then. So, I suggest you speak with the head of that family."
"I will get their contact information from my daughter and do that."
"Jacob, remember, when we next meet have your attorney with you. At this point, Miss Possible will not be brought into this operation. Since this Ron Stoppable has a vital part of this we must include him and get his agreement to cooperate with us, because of what you told us the boosters are trying to do with him."
"I will, I want to get through this and get my family secure…there are some bad actors in the consortium, people have been disciplined before," the former head of the athletic boosters told the 'G' men.
"Before we start indicting people we will do as you ask and either place your family under protective custody or have the Senior Family place you in their care since they have a few secure facilities around the world and supposedly have very secure communications from which you could testify from," Ribbots responded.
"Good, good, but can it wait to start taking people down until after graduation? If Bonnie leaves just before they graduate people might start asking questions."
"So far that is the plan. We will contact Doctor Possible, then Mister Stoppable well before proceeding," the FBI guy informed Rockwaller.
Jacob responded, "Good."

The FBI man in question punched in the number for the Possible home.
"Mister Possible?" Simon Ribbots asked as a man's voice answered.
"Doctor Possible, as in PhD," James clarified to the voice, "What can I do for you?"
Anne had already gone to bed because she had to rise early to drive back to Denver and James Possible wasn't ready to go to bed quite yet.
"This is Special Agent Ribbots of the FBI, I was trying to get a hold of Ronald Stoppable and I was informed you may know where he and your daughter are."
"Well, Kimmie is upstairs probably doing homework, or she had better be. And Ronald? Well, he got called away for a few days and Anne and I don't know where he is. So, I am afraid I cannot give you that information, but I have to also inform you that since I do not know who you are I wouldn't give you that information about the boy anyway. So, for more information I need to see a badge." James informed the unknown man who claimed to be an FBI agent.
"Of course, I understand Doctor Possible. I spoke earlier with a Doctor Load, and I asked him to have Ronald call my number when he returns. Is Doctor Load a reputable person in your opinion?"
"He is and he will make sure Ronald calls you when he returns. Wade Load has been doing this for over three years although he isn't quite in his teens yet, but he is quite capable," James informed the other person on the line.
"I understand, we will keep him in mind for our agency at a later date…. Also please do not mention this to anyone. I am from a government agency, and you know how they are about not saying anything to those who do not have a need to know," the man on the phone told James.
"I…I understand, I work for the government as well Mister Ribbots," James responded as he actually wanted to know what the hell was going on.
"I know Doctor Possible; I just wanted you to be aware that there are some legal ramifications involved here and my agency must speak with young Mister Stoppable as soon as possible."
"Mister Ribbots you have to understand that I am a little leery about giving out information about one of my daughter's friends to just anyone…."
"As I mentioned, this is Special Agent Ribbots of the FBI, and we are investigating criminal activity and we'd like to see if Ronald Stoppable is able to help us gather some intelligence crucial to our investigation into a criminal matter," the government man responded.
"I would like to meet you in person to confirm this and your identity. However, I am mystified that you haven't asked my daughter to help out in this investigation, various agencies use her talents on occasion," James told the man.
"Of course, tomorrow I will meet you for lunch at the Space Center in your office. I am sure the cafeteria will be able to supply food for our lunch. I will contact Doctor Edwards to make sure we have a secure conference room to have our discussion. As for Miss Possible, while she is used by several agencies, we do not think that she will be able to advance our investigation in any positive manner and we need to keep this as quiet as possible for the time being."
James Possible caught the name, "Doctor Edwards? Very well, I usually take my lunch around twelve…."
"Good, I and my partner will meet you at your office and we will go into the conference room then at noon."
"Agent Ribbots, do you understand that my office is a classified area and not just anyone can enter there?"
"Of course. Most of the space center except for the main entry hall and the runways are classified. This will help establish my bona fides if I and my partner meet you in your office." The line then disconnected.

The red-haired heroine set her phone back in the cradle. She thought for a moment then turned her wrist unit to access the 'connect' button and pushed it.
In a moment Wade's hologram came up as the teen got up and closed the hatch to her room.
"Hey Kim, what do ya need?" the genius inquired.
"I just listened in on a call my Dad had with someone by accident. Why does the FBI need to speak with Ron?"
"I have no idea Kim although I spoke with them earlier today and I would have to hack into some government servers to find out and they may not even have the reason on those servers yet," the genius responded.
"That's not really what I wanted to hear Wade…."
"Kim that is the way it is, there are just some things that I am not sure I want to know. You have to agree that there are things that you and I know that Ron doesn't and lately you are aware that Ron knows some things you are not aware of. I doubt if they are excluding you, because it is you, but who you are dating because he doesn't have a clearance."
"I understand about Eric Wade."
"GJ and the FBI have a working relationship…. Just a minute let me see if GJ has something going on with Ron," Wade began to type.
X
After five minutes:
"Kim there is nothing in GJ's system that I could find about Ron being called in by the FBI OR what reason he got called for a mission tonight," Wade informed his boss in Team Possible.
"Okay, again when you find out where Ron is let me know, okay?"
"Just let me check."
Again, this time it was only two minutes:
"Ron's unit shows him in northern Laos Kim," Wade was finally able to give the redhead at least one answer to her concerns.
"Do you know what he is doing?"
"It looks like he is getting ready to enter a stone building…. the structure appears to be slightly damaged."
"Does Ron appear to be in danger Wade?"
"Uh, no. He is traveling with three other people at the moment and his chip shows that he is alright. I have the bio readings of one of the people in my computer and from past entries into the computer Ron is not in danger from this person," the genius informed Kim.
"Okay, if, you are sure. Anyway, inform me when he gets away from those people or gets back in town if it's not too late Wade, I need to speak with him," Kim responded.

The ranch:
"You played the Possible girl too hard last night Hans," Otto chided his nephew.
"In every relationship there will be little bumps, I will just turn on the charm again and she will be putty in my hands Uncle," the suave 'English teen' responded to the light chastisement, "If Kimmie has not gotten over it by tomorrow I will simply apologize and move on. School ends in a few weeks and I want the buffoon with a bullet through his head. Then our job will be done. With any kind of luck, I will get my bragging rights so I can win my bet with my classmate too."
"I would rather have you lose that bet Hans and make the millions instead of winning the bet and possibly getting caught."
Hans' eyes narrowed, "It is my goal to achieve both Otto. I have a reputation to uphold, and I am determined to do that."
"Very well nephew, oh Bridgestone has found another way to make himself useful."
Hans/Eric took another sip of his 'refreshment' and asked, "What do you have him scheduled to try for, we can't use him in the hospital now."
"We have an interview for him with the security service that the school system uses. He is going to see the vice principal at the high school. That is your Mister Barkin," Otto chuckled.

Laos, hours later:
Yori bowed then elbowed her companion to get the American's attention.
Ron grunted as he followed the Japanese teen's lead.
The female shinobi asked (since both locals spoke decent English), "Do you have torches, so we are not blind inside the temple Mio Tang?"
Tang responded, "Miss Yori, the bandits left theirs just inside the temple, however we will come as well as your guides since we are custodians of the temple," the middle-aged Laotian responded as he entered the dark doorway.
Ron mumbled as he picked up a torch and pulled a disposable lighter out of a pocket in his cargo pants, "They coulda used flashlights, but a Pixie Scout is always prepared…I shoulda had a flashlight though, I must be slipping."
Yori cocked her head that the term, "What is a Picky Scout Ron-san?"
Sigh, "It's 'Pixie Scouts', I'm an honorary one, but it's made up almost all of girls and it is an organization that teaches them life skills," Ron explained, "Somehow that asswipe, Steve Barkin is a leader."
"Then it is an honorable organization for girls Ron-san?"
"Yeah, although with Steve Barkin being a leader, I'd have to really think that out. He tries to run it like the Marine Corps should be run in his mind, sorta like he does the football team. That's kinda where I have the problem with him. Sis is never going be a Pixie Scout in his troop," the blond goof replied.
Yori picked up a torch and held hers to Ron's torch and it lit, "You have mentioned this 'Barkin' before…."
Sigh, "Steve Barkin, vice principal, head football coach and handyman teacher for the high school. He seems to have me in quite a few of his classes….so much so that for a while I thought they cloned him just to screw with me," Ron explained, "Any who, he already told me I was gonna fail this year and will have to come back and do my senior year over" (Ron ducked a cob web as he walked along while talking to Yori,) "again which is bull shit in my humble opinion. They put me in advanced classes that I didn't have the prerequisite classes for and I'm doing pretty good, so there is no real reason to try to make me stay. Also, me and Sis are moving to Lowerton so if I had to retake school anywhere it would be there, but the kicker is that during the summer I turn eighteen and I don't have to go to school anymore….so they can kiss my shiny butt as far as I'm concerned."
Yori pointed out, "Why would a college offer you this athletic scholarship if the high school says you cannot advance?"
The blond teen stopped and turned to Yori, "Now you're getting it Yori, I just wanna get out of that burg as soon as I can…at least so I can get the straight scoop. I'm sick of Middleton, Colorado. About the only reason I will go back is to visit Mom and Dad's graves and the small number of friends I have there."

Global Justice Headquarters:
"Ma'am a moment of your time please," Top Agent Will Du stated as he came to her station at the control center.
Betty Director scanned the monitors while she replied, "Yes Will, what is it?"
"Doctor Load left his calling card when he looked through the system a few minutes ago."
"Should I call him and ask what the intrusion was about Will?"
"I think he wants us to, he has done so in the past when he has entered our system on someone else's request," Du reminded his boss.
"Agent Marks, please open my private line to Doctor Load and scramble it," the one-eyed leader of the United Nations law enforcement arm ordered.
"Yes Ma'am, one moment please," a petite blonde responded.
Betty donned her head set and within a moment Wade Load's voice came on, "It took you almost a half hour Doctor Director…. not bad considering how much you have to watch. I suppose that you just found out that one of your assets is out of country and you want to know where the hell Ronald Stoppable is at the moment?"
"I…we didn't know of this, though I will ask around. Now where is our favorite goof ball Wade?" Betty chuckled knowing Kim Possible would be incensed by the conversation taking place since she obviously wasn't included.
"He is in northern Laos and has entered a stone building with three other people," Wade told her.
"What is the purpose of our friend being there?" Betty queried.
"That information I do not know Ma'am, but I have identified one of the other three people and that person is Yori Hitimitsu from Yamanouchi, you have met her late last summer…I have information that she is Hanna Stoppable's Aunt and their leader, Toshimiru's, granddaughter," Wade responded.
"So," Betty surmised, "that is why she spoke with more authority than one would expect of someone so young at our meeting."
"I suppose so Ma'am."
"How is Ronald handling the take down he did on those robbers?"
"It appears that it hasn't really gotten to him, either that or he is covering up the symptoms you would expect from PTSD. He does have tremors at night when he sleeps…. you know he sleeps on the floor in the Renton home in their basement do you not?"
Doctor Director inquired, "I did not know that he slept on the floor. We will have to watch out for the symptoms and offer counselling if he needs it. Now why does Stoppable do that, sleep on the floor I mean…. doesn't he have a bed?"
"Yeah, he does, but he put it in storage with most of the other stuff from his house when he moved in with the Rentons, he sleeps in the basement there. Anyway, according to Ron, he started sleeping on the floor after he returned from Japan over the summer. He mentioned something about the bed being too soft, I guess over in Japan they don't have beds like we do. Ron said something about sleeping on the floor with just a thin mat," Wade informed the one-eyed woman.
"Wouldn't that be uncomfortable Doctor Load?"
"For me it would, but Ron said the training days were long and the workouts were brutal so falling asleep wasn't a problem."
Betty chuckled, "I suppose if you were tired enough you wouldn't really care about being comfortable. Now what is your opinion of this Yamanouchi?"
"Ma'am they really helped Ron out, when he went there, he wasn't much more than Kim Possible's sidekick before he went and over the summer he became very competent and then the extra training at their hall in Upperton really polished him up. Ron would make a top-notch agent in my humble opinion. I think their training also helped Ron play football last fall. He's reactions, speed and strength are out of this world, and it looks like Colorado State is going to take advantage of it and offer him a scholarship…. or that is the rumor."
"I did not know that Wade, we have as you know tried a treatment on him to help him retain more information while he studies, I guess that has worked out well too since he is passing his advanced classes."
"Doctor Director, Ron's grades this semester are straight 'As' since the procedure so we can give GJ the credit there. Do you still bring him in for monitoring? I haven't checked."
Betts sighed then informed the genius, "Yes, every month. He is comprehending almost everything we toss at him. We haven't tested his IQ, but his retention to data learned is astronomical, more so than you would observe by just speaking with him. That was what we had hoped to see, but his ability to understand what he remembers and apply it is truly amazing."
"I get that Doctor Director, I don't think Kim does, but I do. I have spoken with some of Ron's classmates that are in the classes that I question Ron being enrolled in and they told me that they are amazed by what he is able to comprehend in such a short time. You have a doctorate the same as me…. Well, I have a couple of them, and I have one hundred percent retention, but before the procedure Ron wasn't able to do what he can do now. One thing; for Ron this isn't natural, he works his can off studying and of course some of his classmates help as well like with being his tutors and babysitting his Sister while he is studying," Wade informed Betty, "I mean I want to thank GJ for helping Ron like this."
"Well, you are very welcome, Doctor Load, but I agree Ronald Stoppable wouldn't have gotten as far as he as except for his friends. True we supplied the experimental procedure, but he took the risk."
"Yes Ma'am, are you aware that there is a member of the staff at Middleton High who wants to keep Ron back another year?" Wade inquired.
"I was not aware of that, who is doing this…you said Mister Stoppable's grades are above passing…."
"The vice-principal Ma'am. His name is Steve Barkin, and he has been a thorn in the side of Ron for years."
"Why would he want to keep my asset for another year Wade?"
"Ma'am I am not sure but be aware that there is something going on with the Feds concerning Mister Barkin, I believe that is why the FBI wants to interview Ron," Wade informed her.
"Maybe I should coordinate with them to make sure we don't step on each other's toes," Betty suggested.
"Yes Ma'am, that might be a good idea so you will know what is about to happen," Wade responded, "I have their number. Getting hold of them might just be the best thing so if something comes down everyone is on the same page."
"I agree Doctor Load, we have their main number. Just give me the Agent's name. I will call them right away and if I cannot get in touch with them now, I can call in the morning."

Laos:
The four entered a large chamber.
"This is where the artifact was," Mio Tang informed them as he stood next to a pedestal that had a broken stone box on it.
The small door was lying on the floor. Ron held his torch by the door as Yori knelt down and inspected it. She then scanned around and pointed. "Ron-san there is something on that piece of stone that is jutting out from the wall. Could you retrieve it?"
The blond American's eyes followed where Yori was pointing. With a nod he walked over and took a piece of black cloth off a sharp stone and gave it to his companion. Kim Possible's sidekick then moved his torch over where she could see what it was.
The shinobi frowned, "It is part of a black gi Ron-san. Do you agree?" she then handed it back to her friend.
The freckled teen's eyes then narrowed as he brought forth the power until his eyes and face began to glow eerily blue. Ron then smelled the item and nodded, "Smells like monkeys."
He again looked at where he got the cloth from and said, "Monkey blood too."
Yori stood up and asked, "Did you keep a copy of the item that was removed?"
Tang nodded, "We keep a detailed copy which we normally have out…we have kept the original manuscript sealed away, but we had government officials inspecting the temple and they wanted the original artifact on display."
Yori rose and said, "I would like to see the copy of the artifact, we had another theft of an artifact a short time ago which may be similar."

Beep Beep De Da Beeeep.
Ron Stoppable pulled his Kimmunicator out of his cargo pants pocket and pushed the 'connect' button, "Hey Wade."
"How ya doing Ron?" the tech guru asked as his image appeared on the screen.
"Not bad, we're going to get some info and see where it goes from there," the sidekick responded.
"Good, you guys made great time getting to Asia."
"Yeah, special black jet, hey while I have you on the horn can you scan something for me?"
"Sure, put it in front of the sensor package on your unit."
"Great, just a minute," Ron brought out the piece of cloth they had gotten from the temple.
"Go ahead Wade."
Suddenly a blue beam ran over the cloth. "Let me run a couple more in different spectrums Ron."
Moments later the scans were done. "I'm running them through the computer right…. hey this is from a type of cloth commonly used in karate gi's, and it has simian DNA and a trace of blood…. also, of simian origin," Wade informed his friend.
Yori leaned in, "What kind of monkeys Doctor Load?"
"Give me a minute, I have ta dig a little deeper," Wade uttered as the sound of typing was heard over the unit.
"Howler monkeys," the genius answered.
Ron frowned as he shuddered, "Where do howler monkeys live?"
"South America Ron."
"Okay, why is a South American monkey leaving DNA on a piece of a black ninja gi in a Laos temple which is in Asia? There's a whole freaking ocean between them," the blond teen asked then looked at Yori who rolled her eyes, "It was a good question Yori."
"Ron…. Monkey Fist uses howler monkeys as his Henchmen®," Wade advised.
"Thanks Wade, I just wanted someone else to say it. If I need anything, I'll call ya back, me and Yori have to check something else, as a matter of fact can you stay on? I want you to record something else too in a few minutes."
"Right Ron. I'll be monitoring," the tech genius responded.

Yori and Ron followed their guides into what looked to be a hut and then Tang lifted up a mat and the steel plate under it. Tang's comrade helped him with the task and then latched the plate to the roof.
Tang then flipped a switch and lights came on and stairs rolled out.
"Dang, who did all this?" Ron asked.
"The government, please follow me. This whole section has traps in here and only I know where they all are to keep you from getting hurt."
The blond teen muttered, "Looks like pretty tight security."
"Of course, I was in the special forces when I was younger," Tang informed them as he picked his way down the steps occasionally moving small pieces of metal.
X
Finally, the four faced a stone wall. Tang felt along a wall on his right and pushed on two small stones at the same time causing the wall to move out of the way revealing a metal door.
The Laotian placed his feet a particular way and then put both hands on stones that were on each side of the door. They sunk in revealing a hand scanner on each side.
Ron breathed, "Wade has to know about this security…. it's outstanding Yori."
Finally, the door opened a crack then Tang pulled the door open the rest of the way.
Tang then reached inside and pulled out a parchment.
Our hero rolled his eyes as he looked at something that looked very much like the artifact that was stolen in London.
"Mister Tang, I need to get pictures…. just visible light ones since it's not an original," Ron told the man.
The Laotian laid the piece down and Ron took about ten pics with the Kimmunicator then asked, "Can I try to make contact with my tech guy, I want to make sure he has good images."
Tang nodded as Ron pushed the 'connect' button, Wade's image came up, "Buddy I am sending you images, let me know if you can read them."
"Sure Ron, go ahead and transmit."
Ron Stoppable then pushed another button on his unit then waited.
"Okay Ron, I have them all and I can read them, they are already backed up in my primary and secondary server," Doctor Load told his friend.
"Good Wade, I guess me and Yori are gonna head out unless you have anything."
"Do what you think is best Ron, I'll wait till you clear out." With that the screen went black.
"Yori?" Ron inquired, "Do we have any other leads?"
"No Ron-san, it would be best if we get you home…."
"Yeah, it's a school night and I'm gonna miss the first few classes. Sarge Barkin is gonna be pleased with me…"
"Ron?" Wade's voice came through his unit."
"Yeah Wade, what do ya need?"
"When you get in to Middleton give me a call, someone wants to speak with you."
"Now who wants a piece of my can?"
"I think it's the FBI, they called me up and they're meeting Doc Possible tomorrow at the space center."
"Hey, maybe they'll toss me behind bars so I can take a vacation," Ron quipped, "I'll call when we get in Wade…thanks."
Ron offered his hand to Yori, "My lady please allow me to escort you to your transportation for the next leg of our journey."
The female shinobi giggled, "Ron-san you are a goof."
"I am what I is.", our hero agreed.
