And gee whiz, it's only been a couple of weeks but here we are. Update: the cancer is not in remission, but it has affected my heart, so we stopped treatment for a while. Lord that was fun having to wear a defibrillator twenty-four hours a day. Slowly am feeling better. So there. There is a new treatment for my disease, and I will talk to my doctor about it.
Now I want to thank all the artists out there who have offered their services for my stories. I just want you to know that my granddaughter is also an artist so I would probably use her first.
Again, I would like to thank everyone who has read, alerted, faved and or reviewed this and my other tales. I believe this tale ends at chapter 99. Anyway, this is where I answer some questions or comments: CajunBear73, yes Ron is bait, and he knows that even when it turns to crap, he is going down fighting. As for Kimmie, she thinks she is doing the best and doesn't even realize she's being played big time.
Oh this chapter was edited by Jimmy 1201.
Anyway, only one review so lets get on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 68
Conference room D Middleton library:
Alice Magrath stared at the blond teen and his lawyer (and school board member) then handed over the first of three exams that the teen was supposed to take in front of them.
The blond teen had finally found time to call her and set up an appointment to get tests caught up so that he could graduate on time although it wouldn't be with his class.
"How much time do I have Ma'am?", Ron inquired.
"Till the library closes."
"I have a late shift at the diner, so I have to be done before that, Justine Flanner and Zota Flores are babysitting, and I need to rescue Sis and maybe reprogram her tonight. Oh, I decided that I am not returning to school for the rest of the semester, no summer school either and I am only going part time in the fall, if they don't like that I can just walk outta here.", Ron informed the two adults, "I don't want Barkin looking over my shoulder and don't expect me to be around for summer workouts either."
Alice had a thin smile on her face, "I tried to warn Mister Barkin that he couldn't own you…."
Allen Rhodes chuckled, "You are taking all this rather well Ron, how long do you plan to keep up this charade?"
The teen rolled his eyes as he looked over the first exam, "I guess as long as it takes although I am returning to high school next fall now as you have heard. Sorta forced into it now, but since I will have enough credits to graduate don't expect me to spend much time in the grand halls of Middleton High. One thing though, I will tell you that if I ever see that guy that pointed that gun at Sis you might wanna send flowers to his funeral."
Alice Magrath frowned at this, "Ronald making threats like that…."
"Not a threat Ma'am, more of a promise I keep to myself and some of Hanna's relatives. When they hear about a threat like that, they are gonna come over here and hunt the bastard down and they won't leave a grease stain. Then they will hunt down the rest of the men and then their families, and their neighbors and their dogs and cats. They kinda take the position that she should have a safe life and since they now know what happened it shouldn't be too long before they show up here.", Ron gave the long explanation, "One bad thing is their hunting might not end with the bad guys….I'll be included in the hunt and if that happens I'm gonna have to distance myself from a lot of my friends to make sure they're safe and not get caught in the cross fire."
Allen Rhodes told Ron, "Ron, don't worry about that right now, just concentrate on these tests. Oh, when is your interview with Nick Gonzo?"
"It's at three tomorrow afternoon over at the KCMD studio…. they are recording it for later airing. I guess I'd better wear something decent. The hockey jersey and cargos may not cut it.", the former Middleton Mad Dog responded as he wrote his name on the test.
"I'd better be there along with you, so you don't say anything….uh.", Rhodes stopped.
The freckled blond teen added for the lawyer, "Stupid?"
"You are not stupid Ron…. just maybe a little careless."
Alice Magrath chortled, "You are taking this rather well Ronald…"
"No other way of taking it Ma'am.", the former Middleton Mad Dog replied, "I can gripe about it till the cows come home, but it won't make any difference in my life for a long time. As long as I can help bringing some asswipes to justice who are making people's lives miserable I'll be happy. Then me and Sis can go on with our lives if Hanna's relatives haven't removed me from the gene pool yet."
"About that Ron….", Allen Rhodes began, "Kim Possible's boyfriend brought accusations to the Department of Health and Human Services charging that you were an unfit guardian for your sister."
"Yeah, not completely unforeseen, so what else is new?", Ron inquired, "That clown sues me, gets the house and then proceeds to make my life miserable in a number of ways…." The blond teen paused for a moment then added, "It's almost like he's infatuated with turning my life into shit."
Rhodes stated, "You had Kim Possible as a girlfriend and now you hardly even see her…."
Ron snorted as he began to work on the first problem, "I doubt if Limey Eric had much to do with that, sure it was awkward being the third wheel for a while, but I can't spend any time around Kim because of her allergies to me and Eric didn't have anything to do with that. I am pissed about being sued by him and now he's taken up being the advocate for my sister's welfare. He should just keep his nose where it belongs…. outta my ass."
"You also know that Miss Possible has as confirmed Mister Thornbottom's assertion that the child was taken into a dangerous situation Ron."
"Kim did that…. damn. When we got to the school over in Japan, there was no danger, her aunt was with us…."
"Whose aunt?", Missus Magrath asked.
"Hanna's, she's kinda a bodyguard and since that is sorta hazardous I guess that's why Hanna was adopted.", Ron supplied that little bit of data to answer any upcoming questions.
"Your sister has relatives in Japan Ronald?", Alice asked for confirmation.
"Yeah, Kim knows that too because I told her, so I have no idea why she would say that I took Sis into a dangerous situation. It's not like we went to Iraq or some place. Japan is a civilized place.", Ron muttered as he began to work on the second question, "They were just as surprised about the attack as we were. An attack could have happened anywhere, would it be dangerous if I took sis to the mall, and someone decided to rob a store?"
Rhodes informed Ron, "No it wouldn't, but Miss Possible confirmed Mister Thornbottom's story. This could end up in at least a hearing for custody of your sister Ronald."
"Damn,", Ron grit out as he kept working, "promise me that his Lordship, Eric Thornbottom, will never have custody nor be in the presence of Hanna Stoppable. There is no way he can get his grimy paws on her."
"I'll do what I can…."
"Not good enough Sir, I want a promise that he can't get his hands on her no matter what. Burn it all down, if he or Kim tries anything like that if you have to. If you can't guarantee that, me and sis are outta here and moving to Japan full time. That would mess with whatever the FBI is doing, and I won't give it a second thought about doing that.", Ron hissed as he began another problem.
"But you bought that unit in Lowerton…."
"I can sell it and recoup most of the money, I am not going to let my kid sister go through being alone again."
Alice Magrath replied as she could see Ron was getting upset, "Technically she won't be alone…."
Rhodes could see this was going oblong. "I will talk to that department if they try to proceed with any kind of action against you.", Rhodes assured the former Mad Dog.
"Take along those FBI guys, they might help out, but if they toss my sister to the dogs my cooperation with them ends and I will just fucking leave this dump ass of a town and I won't be back. I can live in Japan, they like my cooking skills over there. If the government wants help with their little project, they can sure as hell help me with keeping my baby sister away from that abusive fuck who poses as an English nobleman."
At this point the lawyer knew he had to calm the former football player down and said, "Ronald, I will make them aware of your position, but I cannot promise anything at this point."
Ron finished another problem and noted there were only ten to go. He sighed, "I know Mister Rhodes, but people keep piling on me. In football it was a foul although it wasn't always called, but everyone knew it was a foul. Now though it seems like even my supposedly best friend wants to stab me in the back. I've risked my ass for her for years and she looks like she just wants to toss all that away then if she gets in trouble guess who she'll grab….me cause that pansy ass boyfriend of hers isn't worth a tinker's damn."
"Again, I will try…."
"I know, it's just those men point a gun at Hanna really got me thinking about how I can better protect her…. that's why I agreed to return to Middleton High again next year….but I am only going part day, otherwise they can kiss my ass and will implement other plans….uh sorry Ma'am."
"Your frustration with Mister Barkin and whoever is threatening you and your sister is understandable Ronald, we support you although Mister Barkin does not. You do understand that he spoke with several FBI agents a couple of days ago and he is out of sorts now."
"Good let him pick on Kim's boyfriend, the jerk deserves it from what I've experienced.", the teen responded.
"He was there when you were left behind….", Missus Magrath remembered out loud.
"He wasn't much use, he used my tent and sleeping bag and ate up a bunch of our rations and didn't contribute much, Kim didn't know it at the time but all he did was consume energy and took up room on the helicopter which allowed me to stay on the site where they loaded up the girls. They forgot about my sorry ass, and I got to walk back here so I could play in that damned football game.", Ron grit his teeth as he finished another problem.
Allen Rhodes looked over at the principal of Middleton High with a questioning glare.
As for Ron, he kept working on his Calculus exam so that he could stay even with his class that he wasn't part of now.

Middleton High:
"What did you do GF.", Monique grabbed the red head by the shoulders. The fashionista had heard some rumors and could see some very bad things happening in the near future.
"I filed a complaint against Ron for endangering his sister in Japan.", Kim answered simply.
"Whose idea was it, because I know you are smarter than that and more loyal to Stoppable.", Monique ranted as people began to gather around.
"Well you were there the other night and Eric told us he did the initial report and he asked me to back him up, so I did. I think it was the right thing to do at the time and still do…."
"Kim, do you understand that the kid might be the only thing that is keeping Stoppable from going over the edge?", Monique Jenkins' eyes narrowed, "Stoppable's lost almost everything he's ever had, she was the last thing he had going from his past. The last thing he could hold onto from the family he had."
"Monique, please back off. I had to think of Hanna first no matter what I and Ron have as a past. It's the right thing to do for the baby's sake."
"And if they take the child away from Ron what is going to happen?"
"Eric applied to have his family adopt her, but something in Hanna's adoption papers prevent anyone but a Japanese citizen or an American citizen from adopting her. Eric plans to fight that in court, but it was an agreement between the president and the prime minister of Japan personally since their signatures where on one of the papers and I am not sure that we can do anything at the moment to get around that."
"Still, miss fiery and head strong, has Ronald Dean Stoppable done anything on purpose to harm his adopted sister?", Monique queried.
"On purpose, no or I don't think he has. Ron is just a hazard to his Sister…he makes poor decisions; he could get her injured…"
"Like dropping the kid? Your Eric has done that if you remember…."
"It was just one time, Eric said she slipped out of his grasp…."
"And you and your boy toy are setting your lifelong friend up for an emotional implosion, don't you even see that? From what I am seeing if you are Ron's friend than I am Mother Theresa.", the fashionista countered as she tried to get Kim to see the psychological harm she was doing to the former Middleton Mad Dog.
"Monique, don't you see? Ron and I will always be tight…."
Monique inquired, "Has Ron given you his new address for when he moves this summer?"
"Well…no…I guess that slipped his mind…"
Monique's eyes narrowed as Dave Alberts walked by. She grabbed his arm. The former high school quarterback said, "I have to meet Liz in the library…."
"Did Stoppable give you his new address in Lowerton Alberts?"
"Yeah, a few of us are gonna help him move when all the papers are signed. You know that since Brick offered to help…."
"This was for Kim's benefit Alberts. I tried to make a point.", Monique informed Dave, then added, "You can go see your fiancée."
As Alberts headed off, a wide-eyed Kim asked, "Dave and Liz are engaged?"
"Yup GF, at least they each have their eyes on the prize. I think that Brick and I are at the same place, but we will know more by sometime next fall.", Monique informed the teen heroine.
"Yeah, maybe Eric and I will too…."
"Did your BF come into school for his meeting with the principal yet?", Monique asked her friend.
"Hopefully they will let Eric back in after he speaks about the incident, this will look real bad on his record…."
"Attacking a girl is just as bad as taking out a teacher Kim."
"They offered Ron a chance to come back…then take a full load over the summer and still have to come back in the fall from what Mister Barkin said."
Monique Jenkins pointed out, "Yeah and fail him for the semester too if that's the deal that's the deal. If I was going to fail, I sure wouldn't be back in until I had to. Eric should get the same thing the way I see it."
The red-haired cheer captain asked, "What got into you 'Nique, I thought you were all against Ron…."
"I'm all against favoritism. Treat everyone the same way if there isn't a reason to crap on them don't. Now I admit I was on Stoppable's ass before because I thought he shit on me on purpose, but I saw that wasn't the case and I witnessed him get shit on and have decided to point it out. You can blow me off Kim, but I am telling you girl if you want Stoppable in your life, you'd better figure out a way to fix this before he disappears into the sunset."
"Ron wouldn't…."
Monique's eyes narrowed, "No? With your accusation of his character you have given him loads of reasons to rip out his chip and take his sister and run off somewhere. He's proved that he can make money….I would think being around villains all this time he has some plans in the back of his head. Do you remember when he was that purple skinned guy?", Kim nodded, "What makes you think that is all gone from his mind?"
"We don't want Zorpox to come back, it would be very, very bad. He had at least three different plots running at the same time and it was just to get the world's supply of nacos…. if he was serious, it would be very bad, I need to call someone about that."
"That can wait; would Stoppable have won Kim?"
"Yeah, if Rufus hadn't gotten that repaired device to use on Ron, he could have taken over the whole planet. Nothing could have stopped him. He had an IQ level that was above Wade's."
"No mole rat anymore. Do you think it's a good idea to give someone like Ron or this Zorpox the motivation to crap on the world because they took the only family he had left away?", Monique knew at this point she had made her case.
Kim agreed, "No, that would be a bad thing, Zorpox is like a genius level villain, he could turn us all into slaves."
"I understand, pissing off Stoppable is a bad thing. So, is Ron purposely trying to injure or has he ever tried to injure his sister GF?"
"N….no, I haven't seen anything like that Moni….quite the opposite even if he used to call her little intruder, it was more a term of affection if anything."
"So, let get this straight, you haven't seen your lifelong friend being abusive to the baby who is in his care and yet you are backing your boyfriend who looks more and more to have a vendetta against him to try and tear him apart from probably the only thing that is keeping him from turning into the purple guy who almost took over the world. Is that right?"
"Moni, I don't think Eric has a vendetta against Ron, he just tries to right injustices when he sees them. He said that's what his parents taught him to do.", Kim explained.
"What you are saying is that Eric is just misguided Kim. As they say 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'. I will give you some good free advice, let Ron take care of Ron and Hanna. He's the adult in charge in his family, let him make the decisions and support him the best you can, heaven knows he needs all the support he can get right now. Anyway, that's what they're paying him the big bucks for."
The auburn-haired heroine responded, "Nobody is paying Ron to take care of his sister Monique."
"Exactly GF and since Stoppable isn't a pro he doesn't need the grief that a lot of people are giving him; I don't think he's gotten over his Dad dying on the operating table or his Mother being murdered in the hospital. One of the football guys told me that they were worried about him coming apart."
"Ron isn't mopey…."
"GF, he didn't get that much of a chance to mourn before life took a shit on his head and now, he's been suspended because he kicked out Barkin's knee…."
"Ron shouldn't have done that; he normally lets insults and stuff roll off his back…."
"The word is out from some of the underclassmen who were that class say that Barkin attacked Stoppable from behind, there are witnesses to what happened and those witnesses have been interviewed by the police, something weird is going on here. So, when your childhood friend said he defended himself he might be right and at the moment we should give him the benefit of the doubt. I know he went before a judge and will eventually go to trial, but something tells me Ron Stoppable is going to be able to walk outta this one. Now I wonder if there were security tapes to back up what those kids said to the cops?", Monique then inquired as she thought the last part out loud.
"Monique, striking a teacher is forbidden…."
"And a teacher striking a student isn't GF, even spankings which were common in my parents day, have been axed by the courts. Assault has never been condoned. If what those kids are saying are true something is going on and your friend is being crapped on by about everyone in authority…kinda the way he was during the football season."
"Moni, I'm sure that you are making too much of this….and I am sure Judge Snobblestone will have a fair trial over this.", Kim responded secretly hoping that Miss Jenkins was right and might be coming around to giving her sidekick a fair chance since she was so against him before.
"I just hate to see injustice…."
"If all this is true then it was a shame Ron lost his scholarship to play college football and get a free education in return, but if he is going to have to take another year to get his diploma because there is no way he can pass now, sigh, I guess it's for the best and he can get another one next year.", Kim let out a deep breath.
"Kim, you could have at least called him or had your tech guy monitor your life-long friend. Listen I know that I'm not one to talk and I misjudged him, but he needs the support of his friends and neither of us was there for him GF. At least he was able get help from others."
"Felix, Tara, Dave and Justine?", Kim asked.
"Yeah and their significant others Kim, Stoppable has made a good number of friends….oh Mister Rhodes is Stoppable's lawyer and Tara's Mom has taken a keen interest in the blond goof, but I would keep that quiet.", Monique informed the world famous heroine, "From what I gather Stoppable doesn't want your current BF to know anything about him and since you're hooked onto Eric at the hip it kinda means you too."
"Speaking of Eric, I'd better call him and remind him to make an appointment to speak with the principal. Excuse me 'Nique.", the auburn-haired heroine pressed the connect button on her wrist unit.

The ranch:
"Nephew, you know you have to meet with the principal of your school eventually. You cannot put if off much longer.", Otto chided his relation then added, "You must maintain your cover before anyone starts looking hard at you. You are a student here and basically the rest of us are your household staff."
"I know Uncle, this whole thing is wearing me down and there is something going on with the Stoppable boy although I finally persuaded Kimmie to back me up in reporting him for child endangerment. They are thinking about a hearing to determine his fitness, I think if we can get the child away from him, he may crack at that point. When that happens, he will be easier to deal with although I have given thought that it might be easier just to plant a bomb in his auto.", 'Eric'/Hans revealed to his coconspirator Uncle.
"Nephew, if we plant a bomb in the sidekick's car and explode it, immediately their federal agencies will become involved and they will look around at who has had problems with the sidekick. It is true that you will eventually emotionally devastate the heroine we may be unable to get away before they catch a few of us which is part of our goal here, but we are at the point of not taking shortcuts now. I think we should continue with your original plan and although it is too complex for an operation like the one that we are undertaking although it would be difficult to change now."
The master manipulator who wasn't really worried that a certain Countess wanted him hung over a fire, grunted, "Remind me to spend more time planning these endeavors Uncle."
"I shouldn't have to.", Otto smirked as he picked up the phone and dialed Middleton High School.
"Yes, this is Eric Thornbottom's Uncle I would like to accompany my Nephew into school at your earliest convenience to smooth over the teen angst that my Nephew has laid upon all of us."
.
After being connected to some guidance counselor, Otto asked, "So, Missus Magrath will not be in until tomorrow and Mister Barkin is not in the school either?"
.
"Very well at ten in the morning and there will be members of the school board on hand. I understand….do I need to bring a lawyer then?"
.
"Oh, I understand, if I bring my lawyer, you will bring the lawyers for the school district, I understand. I suggest that we should leave the lawyers out of this then and come to an agreement on our own."
.
"Very well, we will see you tomorrow at ten in the morning at the principal's office.", Otto conceded to whatever guidance counselor the secretary had connected him to.
Hans cocked his head. Otto informed his nephew, "Unless you want to 'fail' your term here, we have to go back in and basically bow our heads and ask for forgiveness Nephew. He also mentioned that if you do not return to school then he will inform the authorities on immigration that you have overstayed your visa."
"That would be very bad Otto, I suppose I must bite my tongue and submit to their punishment although I am considering eliminating those who wish to throw us out of the country," Hans gave a tight smile.
"Temper, temper Nephew, if we kill your oppressors, the authorities will look for connections into what they had in common…eventually they begin to look at us. The more we take out the more incentive the governments will have in tracking us down. Kim Possible has enemies and therefore so should her sidekick. It would be a lot harder to pick us out, if there is a larger number of victims, they will begin to draw lines right to us before we can finish our mission and maybe endanger it. While I and the men know the risks, we would rather be breathing free air then the air in a prison."
"You have made your point old man.", Hans responded as the phone rang.
The suave 'teen' rolled his eyes as he picked up the device, "Hello?"
"Hi Eric, this is Kim. I don't have to work tonight, do you wanna go out for something to eat after I get out of school?"
"Of course Kimberly, I always love being with you…unless you are going to fight bullies or monsters that is.", Hans/'Eric' replied happily.
Kim laughed lightly, "No we don't have any freak fighting as far as I know and if we did it would be Ron and I doing it. He is a little better of a fighter than he used to be, at least enough of one to take on Henchmen and push self-destruct buttons."
'Eric' also laughed lightly, "Clumsily tripping and pushing those buttons and running away from those villains. It's a good thing your villains do not find some competent help."
"It's a good thing they haven't updated their hiring practices that's for sure.", Kim agreed.
"They hire goons?", an apparently shocked 'English teen' asked.
"Yeah, for the most part they get them from Jack Hench and that's why they're called Henchmen. Heck they even have a union.", Kim laughed.
"A union? You are now making me to be a fool Kimberly."
"So not Eric, the villains' bodyguards are actually organized into a union with health and retirement benefits. It must pay pretty well to be bad."
Hans knew his men were not in any kind of union and this actually was the first he had heard about it although Otto squinted as he had heard the exchange.
"Kimberly, we can discuss this at length if you wish, but I want you to know ahead of time that I am against organizing the workforce as it would lead to shutdowns which could lead to nationwide strikes which neither of our countries need at this point."
The red head replied, "I don't have an opinion on it Eric I am just stating a fact that was told to me by one Jack Hench about his operation a while back."
'Eric' grinned, "That must have been an interesting conversation…."
"Yeah he called that he needed help in recovering an item that had been stolen, it allowed the user to grow huge muscles and make they much stronger, on the same mission Ron and I found out about the PDVI."
"You have me at a loss Kimberly, what is a PVDI?"
"PDVI,", Kim corrected then explained, "it stands for 'pan dimensional vortex inducer'. It's kinda classified and it keeps getting stolen by this German super villain to gain access to a different dimension."
"I have spent time in Germany, but I didn't know there were any 'super villains' there, do you know his name?", Hans/'Eric' inquired.
"Henric Demez, he was a college professor whose villain name is Professor Dementor.", Kim explained, "The villain community is very small, most people don't know anything about them."
"I would say Kimberly, I have never heard of him."
"Yeah, well he is noticeably short and wears what Ron calls a bucket on his head, but it looks something like a medieval knight's helmet. He has an awfully bad temper and a loud voice. So, if you ever run into someone of that description you should get as far away as you can.", the soon to be retired Middleton Cheer Captain suggested (since English colleges didn't have cheerleaders….AN).
"This man sounds too dangerous to be around Kimberly."
"He is to dangerous to be around although Ron and I have pretty good luck against him.", Kim replied, "Remember I will pick you up at your house, but I will call first…."
"I have a better suggestion Kimberly, I will meet you at your home, but please call me if you are delayed."
"I will Eric, love you.", the red head responded and then disconnected.

"That was a long phone call from school Kim, I take it from what I heard that you are meeting Eric after school then?", the African American fashionista asked.
"Yeah, do you wanna come with us?"
Monique responded, "Well I don't have to work tonight so sure…."
"Good, follow me home after school and I'll tell Eric when I call him when I'm on the way home then."

The Jarhead Diner:
Kim scooted into a booth while Monique slid in across from her. Eric slipped in next to his girlfriend and handed her and Moni a menu then asked, "Why did we come here? There are other places closer to where we live."
"Monique and I would like to speak with Ron.", the red head explained as Nancy came over with waters and menus.
The former Navy nurse inquired, "What would you like to drink kids?"
(AN….Nancy is a nurse at a hospital in Lowerton with this being her side gig, but spent six years in the Navy as one so she is an officer and her Daddy (Mac) is very proud of her.)
Monique inquired, "Is Ron Stoppable here today?"
"Stoppable? He has a late shift tonight, so he will get in about twenty hundred hours tonight and get off about oh five hundred."
"Who is babysitting the child?", 'Eric' asked.
Nancy got a weird vibe from the male of the three so she stated, "I cannot give out personal information about our workforce unless you can prove to me that you are family."
Kim cocked her head as Mac called out, "Order UP!"
Nancy turned to her dad and gave him the 'thumbs up. Two of the three caught the bulge under Nancy's 'T' shirt and knew this one wasn't to be messed with.
The red head also glanced around and noticed that there were also 'bulges' under several shirts in the eatery. When the waitress/nurse turned back around Kim said, "I am Kim Possible and I'd like to speak with Ron, can you give him that information for me. He doesn't really return calls from me, or my tech guy and I am a little concerned about him and his sister since the last mission."
"I can leave him a message through Mac, I won't be on when Ron gets here tonight since I have a shift at the hospital."
"Hospital?", Monique asked.
"Yeah, I'm an ER nurse, I got my training in college then went in the Navy for my commission and am now in the reserves. In a couple years I should make Lieutenant Commander, which is a Major in the less civilized branches of the service.", she explained as she waited for their drink orders.
