I am on a proverbial roll with these past 2 chapters, and maybe even 3 chapters depending on the streak

Ok, first off many thanks to the following who have reviewed this story, remember it’s all for you, I just have to get these ideas out of my head!

Mr. Wizard, Drag0nfly, whitem, Timola, CajunBear73, daywalkr82, Trapps, and Cody McArthur Fett for reviewing.

Ok, there’s no set time for how long it’ll take for me to crank out a chapter of this story, so expect a gap of a week-to two weeks between chapters.

Enough whining on my part…

They Are the Law

Chapter 3

Start of a New Frontier

The alarm clock blared out its irritating song, stirring Ron from his lovely sleep. He and Kim didn’t have work today, yet he still set the alarm clock to wake them at 6am.

He was about to reach over to shut it off when it shut off, he soon felt Kim’s head rest on his chest, her hair cascading all around her head.

His hand absently ran through her hair, causing her to snuggle up closer to him. They’ve been living together since they started college just over 3 years ago. They still kept up the ‘charade’ that they each had their separate rooms but no one bought it. Not even Nana…

“Don’t forget, we have the barbeque at my parent’s house at about noon.” Kim said as she yawned.

“KP, the Ronman doesn’t forget… besides my fam is going to be there too.” Ron said as he still ran his hands through her hair.

“Really?” Kim asked as she looked at him.

“Do you know what day it is?” she asked a mischievous smile on her face.

“It’s Saturday…” Ron said before his eyes got wide.

“MmHmm” Kim hummed.

“Well, so much for some extra sleep…” Ron said before his lips were silenced by Kim’s as she pulled the sheets over their head.

“Honey, where are the boys?” Ann Possible asked her husband as he was busy starting the grill in the backyard.

“They’re in the Garage again, working on their NASA rockets…” James said with a grin.

“They aren’t going to blow up the garage again are they? I know they’ve been away a while but I kind of like the garage the way its set up now…” She said looking toward the garage.

“Trust me honey, everything will be just fine…”

Just then the ground shook as the windows in the garage popped out and fell harmlessly on the grass. Smoke started belching out of the new openings followed by another familiar sound.

“I TOLD you that was too much fuel!” Tim yelled.

“And I told YOU to make the delivery system with type 43 fittings, not type 34!” Jim yelled back.

“I think you mean type 434 fittings boys!” James called to the garage.

“Hm, how did we forget them?” Tim asked…

“Don’t know, probably has something to do with this smudge on the blueprints…” Jim said.

“Thanks Dad!” The both shouted.

James just shook his head chuckling.

“Oh I can’t remember how many times I’ve made that same mistake…” He said as he heard the familiar sounding car pull up in the driveway.

“Honey, Kim and Ronald are here!” Anne called out from the kitchen.

“Afternoon Dr.’s P!” Ron said as he and Kim approached.

“Afternoon Ronald…how’s my Kimmie-cub?” James asked.

“I’m fine dad, where’s mom?” Kim said as she hugged her father.

“In the kitchen as usual…ah the Stoppable’s are here”

Up the walk behind them Ron’s parents strolled up, with Hanna in tow between them.

“Hey, how’s my favorite secret ninja sister!” Ron said as he opened his arms.

Hanna bounced once before springing up right into Ron’s open arms and grabbed his nose.

“Brother!” She said with a giggle.

“Aw, you’re so big now…how old are you again?” Ron asked smiling.

“Three years, 5 months and 3 days…” Hanna laughed.

“Ronald, how are you?” Ron’s father asked as he hugged him, followed soon by his mother.

“Can’t complain…” Ron said setting his sister down.

“Come on everyone, appetizers are ready!” Anne called from the kitchen.

Over the next hour everything went normally, the boys finished up their project in the garage and joined them. Kim and Ron knew they were going to get asked about their job and their first day, but apparently their parents weren’t bringing it up…one of Kim’s brothers fixed that…

“So Kim, how was your first day on the job?” Jim asked as he bit into his cheeseburger.

“Oh, you know the usual…” Kim said as she leaned back into Ron.

“Yeah, high speed pursuit, got shot at, and saved the day; bad guys are behind bars…” Ron finished as he wrapped his arm around Kim.

“Yeah, that sounds like the usual.” Kim’s father said.

“Now dear, you two aren’t going to get in trouble for working for the state police now are you?” Ron’s mother asked.

“I don’t think so, it might irritate them but they can’t really stop us from living our lives…” Ron said.

“Besides, we have a lot of friends in high places now…” Kim said.

“Really, what kind of friends?” Anne asked.

“Two fellow Troopers, the Chief of Troop F, our Supervisor, and a Detective Pelicanto...” Kim finished.

“A detective?” Jim asked.

“Cool, is he like working on your case?” Tim asked.

“Well, he’s doing his own digging so to speak…” Ron said.

“So they know about you two…” Ron’s father said.

“Yeah, he remembered us from before the incident, and when we met him he later checked our files and didn’t like what he seen…” Kim said.

“So he thinks it was a setup?” James asked.

“Most definitely, however he doesn’t have any proof of it. He has our word against theirs…” Ron said.

“I see…” James said rubbing his chin.

“We’re actually going to be meeting them again later tonight; they’re interested in how we became one of them.” Kim said smiling.

“Oh, they’re going to love that story…” Jim said.

“Almost as much as she enjoyed the love she and Ron had this morning…” Tim finished.

“TIM!” Kim yelled, turning red.

“What? It’s not like we all don’t know your Saturday morning routine…” Jim said, defending his brother.

“Boys…” James said sternly.

“Regardless of the fact that we all know of their ‘morning ritual’ it’s not a good idea to bring it up.” He finished.

“Um…how do you know of our morning ‘ritual’?” Ron asked nervously, earning an elbow to the chest from Kim.

“Because it’s the same as our morning ritual Kimmie…” Anne said smirking.

“Ours too” Ron’s parents added.

“Ew, don’t need that mental image…”

“Jinx!” Kim shouted.

“Um, don’t I owe you a soda?” Ron asked.

“You owe me something else…”

“Oh man…”

Back in his own home, Detective Vince Pelicanto was going over his own copies of the files he found on Kim, Ron, and Global Justice; he took a second to look around his study.

As usual, it was a disaster. Files hanging all over the place, out of bookshelves, on the floor in front of the bookshelves, his wife hadn’t even been allowed to enter while he was doing work so the initial mess progressively got worse.

His desk was the only clean-ish spot in the entire room, his computer included.

“When I finish this she is so going to kill me…” He muttered to himself as he entered a search on his computer for Global Justice, not sure exactly what he’d find.

Within seconds of hitting the enter button the screen went blank.

“What the hell…damned you Vista, I order you to work!” He hit control, alt and delete which promptly brought the screen back…and everything went back to normal…not the typical Vista crash…in fact it wasn’t a crash at all.

Instead of the screen going back to the search online it brought him to an actual email he just received.

He was curious, Vista never did this…then he realized it wasn’t Vista’s doing at all.

The email didn’t have a sender, and actually locked him from sending anything back to whoever sent him this…so he looked at the email.

He read the first few lines as a smirk crept on his face…

“Vince, dinner’s ready!” His wife said as she stood at the door to the study. She instantly spotted his smirk.

“Alright, what did you find?” She asked.

“Someone is a mole…”

“A mole? A mole where? At the troop?” She asked as she carefully walked into the messy study.

“No, that new case I decided to pick up…” He said as he clicked on print document.

“You mean the Possible case?”

“Yeah, wait…how do you know about it?”

“I was in here when you went to the bathroom, and I saw their files on your desk. Is the famous Possible team now troopers in your troop?” She asked.

“Yes, cool isn’t it?”

“Just don’t let you kids hear about this, they still adore those two you know.”

“I won’t bring it up till I actually have a solid case on what happened with those two, I promise.”

“Good, now come on dinners ready.”

“Right behind you, I’m actually going to see them after dinner…”

“Really? Is it about that email you just got?”

“Partially, but they have the rest of their story to tell us…”

“Fill me in later?” She asked, pouting a bit.

“As always…” Vince said smiling.

Vince was already seated at the same table they were at the night before, waiting for them to enter it appeared.

“Waiting long?” Ron asked as he took his seat,

“Not really, got here maybe 3 minutes before you two…” Vince said.

“So, how long till Danny and Anthony arrive?” Kim asked, sitting next to Ron.

“They’ll probably be here shortly, till then…” Vince plopped two pieces of paper in front of them.

“I received this earlier today in an email…”

They both looked at their sheets, noticing the email formant.

“So who sent it?” Kim asked as she started to read.

“Don’t know any return address and I couldn’t even find out where it came from…whoever sent it covered their tracks…”

“Sounds a lot like Wade to me…” Ron said as he to started reading.

The email was fairly short, about one paragraph long but it got right down to the point.

To:

From:

I found your search for the possible case; I am here to assist in your building case. For security reasons I shall remain unknown and unreachable to you unless absolutely necessary, you will receive many classified documents that have been deemed a matter of national security even though they really aren’t. What I can tell you know is what you’re seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.

I will be in touch

That was it.

“It’s got to be Wade; no one else would be in a position to have access to stuff like that.” Ron said as he pushed the paper back to Vince.

“This is actually starting to worry me…” Kim said as she pushed her sheet back.

“You? The great Kim Possible?” Danny said coming up to the table.

“And what would start to worry someone like you? Anthony said taking another seat.

“Read for yourself…” Vince said as he pushed the papers to them.

The two finished reading the email in short order and slid them back to Vince.

“So what exactly is worrying you?” Danny asked.

“Well, it took us a while to heal up from that incident, and now it looks like the wounds are going to be open up again…” Kim said trailing off.

“I personally think its Wade. He was put in with Global Justice after we were booted; I don’t want to see anyone get hurt over this…” Ron added, rubbing his hands together.

“But what they did is criminal, literally.” Danny said.

“And it’s our job to stop criminal activity and make the state a safer place.” Anthony added as the waitress came by with 5 tall glasses of the familiar Blue Moon beer.

“It still makes me uncomfortable…” Kim said taking a long drink from her glass.

“Let us put it in perspective guys…” Vince said as he took a quick drink from his glass before continuing.

“…would you feel better if they did this to someone else that does what you do?”

Kim and Ron slowly shook their heads no…

“Something tells me that this wasn’t something they cooked up on a whim. This had to be planned out, months or even years in advance. And it’s my job to find out why and with proof.” Vince said as he took another drink of his glass.

“He’s got a point Kim, just like Mr. B did when he called us in that day…” Ron said trailing off.

“Mr. B? What are you talking about?” Anthony asked.

“He’s talking about how we ended up becoming state troopers.” Kim said with a slight smile.

“You guys wanna hear about it?” Ron asked, sharing her grin.

“Go right ahead.” Anthony said.

Ron stretched his arms out in front of him, cracking his knuckles before he rested them on the table.

“Well, we were just heading in to cheer practice…”

3 years ago, College of Middleton Campus

As Kim was warming up for cheer practice, Ron could tell from his spot in the bleachers that she wasn’t happy. They spent a aggravating 5 months with lawyers and courts trying to fight Global Justice and get back into saving the world. But all they seemed to find was shrugging shoulders, and ‘I’m sorry’s’…it was enough to make them both sick.

They weren’t even halfway into their first year of college and everything seemed to fall apart. Ron was wondering if this is what Mr. Barkin meant by ‘the center will not hold’.

With all the lawyer and court activity the past five months, and their lack of saving the world put both of their grades on the low side, thankfully their professors were understanding and were giving them some leeway, although they will have to pick it up relatively soon, you could only bend so far before you put your foot down.

Ron turned his attention back to Kim, and a smirk came to his face.

He liked watching the team practice, even though it was college now, cheerleader practice still occurred, although the more things changed the more they stay the same.

Team leader was a senior, and reminded him a lot of an older version of Bonnie. Needless to say Kim did not enjoy being under her rule.

As practice got started Ron soon realized he wasn’t alone on the bleachers. He turned to his right and noticed Josh Mendicant had joined him…

Ron’s eyes narrowed on the kid. He and Kim had altercations with Mendicant in the past; he apparently had some sort of deep rooted feelings for Kim and openly tried to woo her, usually right in front of him. Needless to say both of them got annoyed and angry at Josh’s actions; Ron swore he saw Josh smirk every time he made a pass on Kim right in front of him. They both went to the dean about it, but he was limited as to what he could do.

“So, how’s my Kim doing?” Josh asked, his calmness made Ron’s blood boil.

“Listen dude, she’s not your Kim and she never will be. I’m tired of you pestering us…” Ron said turning to Josh, a scorn on his face.

Josh never looked over, never even acknowledged that Ron was even looking at him.

“I know how I can get the mean team captain out of the captain’s chair…” Josh said quietly.

“Dude, what the hell are you talking about?” Ron asked getting visibly annoyed.

“I’ve taken some stuff out of the science wing, real slippery stuff, can’t even see it. And I’ve even placed it in the exact position the captain will be in after she finishes her side tumbler kick…” Josh said with a smile.

“Ok dude that’s….wait WHAT?!” Ron asked, shocked at what he just heard.

It took his brain a few seconds to process what he heard Mendicant say, but when it processed he knew he had to stop the practice

He leaped up from his spot and started waving his arms and yelling as loud as he could.

“Whoa, stop the practice! Stop the practice!”

He took one step towards the gym floor when he felt a leg push hard against the front of his leg, tripping him down to the gym floor one step below.

Ron’s commotion did startle the cheer squad, but their captain was just coming out of her side tumbler kick…right where she was supposed to.

All Ron could do is watch from his spot on the floor and their captain landed and slipped on the spot on the floor, all he heard was the unmistakable pop of a leg bone breaking.

The Gym was immediately filled with the captains screaming, which drew in the rest of the cheer squad.

Soon the nurse and many high up officials were in the gym, trying to figure out what happened.

But it was when the Dean himself showed up that things really got interesting.

“What happened here?” Dean John Williams asked.

“Mendicant poured something on the gym floor in the exact spot where she would land sir!” Ron blurted out.

“What? Are you serious?” Williams asked, not really believing what Ron just said.

“Sir he told me, then he tripped me as I tried to stop it.” Ron said rubbing his chin.

“Ron was making a commotion and yelling for us to stop…” one of the girls said.

Just then a science professor came to the dean.

“The chemical that went missing from science lab 204 earlier this morning was indeed used on that one spot on the gym floor Dean…”

“Hm, was student Josh Mendicant in lab 204 this morning before the chemical went missing?” Dean Williams asked.

“Yes he was sir, he was working with said chemical.” The professor said.

“I want him in my office ASAP you hear me?”

“Yes Dean Williams…”

“Stoppable, that’s good detective work there.” Dean Williams said.

“Sir, it wasn’t really detective work, he did tell me…” Ron said rubbing his neck…

“That’s not the point, our new career services advisor wants to have a word with you two, I suggest you both get down there double time…”

“Yes Dean Williams” Both Kim and Ron said simultaneously.

“Jinx! Ha, I knew I would beat someone at that one day!” Dean Williams said as he turned and headed back to his office.

A short time later…

“Did any of what just happened make any sense to you Kim?”

“No, no it didn’t. Everything seemed so short and abrupt…like it was planned…”

“…Planned by some author who was running out of ideas and just decided to make things short to get on to another section with limited questions!” Ron proclaimed.

His accusation caused Kim to stop in her tracks, he didn’t realize she stopped walking till he was 5 feet ahead of her. He turned back to her, and immediately noticed the look on her face.

“What?” he asked innocently.

“Ron, that doesn’t even begin to make sense.”

“Doesn’t have to make sense for it to be true…” he argued as her brow narrowed into a scowl.

“…yeah right, completely impossible I know…” he blurted out.

“Come on, let’s see what our new ‘advisor’ has in store for us...” she said as she walked past him.

They entered the building that housed the career services advisors and made their way to the reception area.

“Hi we were…” Kim stared before the receptionist cut her off.

“Down the hall to the right, door 444…” she said without even looking at the two of them.

They looked at each other as they walked past the receptionist and down the hall, there was a whole aura of complete weirdness coming from this whole thing that they couldn’t explain.

And when they got to room 444 it got even weirder…

“Possible, Stoppable have a seat!”

“Mr. Barkin?!” They both said at the same time, they were both too shocked to do the jinx line.

“You-you’re our career services advisor now?” Ron asked rubbing his eyes.

“Correct, after your previous advisor had an unfortunate incident involving some highly agitated Sea Bass on a relaxing fishing trip. I was asked to fill in.” Mr. Barkin said as they made their way to their seats.

“The weirdness is off the charts…” Kim said

“It’s high school all over again!” Ron cried.

“Stop you’re whining Stoppable! We have important business at hand!”

“Business? What business?” Ron asked.

“You’re career change….”

“Wait, we’re changing careers?”

“According to the recent documents involving the cheer squad at the gym…”

“But that happened like two minutes ago…” Ron said scratching his head.

“Two minutes and thirteen seconds ago to be exact...Continuing on…” Mr. Barkin said eyeing Ron suspiciously…

“…regarding the incident in the gym and your incidents outside of campus property as of late it is under my supervision that you two need to change your careers…” Barkin said as he rested his head on his hands.

“You want us to change to careers? To what?” Kim asked, raising her eyebrow.

“It is my assessment that you two would be perfect for law enforcement, also known as Criminal Justice.”

“Law Enforcement? What makes you think we’d want to do that?” Ron asked.

“Because Stoppable, because you two have been removed from your duties to save the world your grades have been slipping, you two apparently need to help people in order to do go. Criminal Justice will allow you to help others just as saving the world did, only on a slightly smaller scale.”

“He kind of has a point Kim…”

“What? You know what we’d have to deal with as police officers Ron?”

“According to my calculations your chances of bodily injury are no greater than if you were saving the world.” Barkin said as he held a calculator.

“Let me see that!” Ron said snatching it out of Mr. Barkin’s hand and reading over the odds.

“You know he’s right Kim, we actually have a 23 less chance of getting blown up by laser fire too…”

“What?”

“KP, the numbers don’t lie…”

“He’s right Possible, now because of your previous experience saving the world you are exempt from taking some of the beginner courses, since you are knowledgeable in them already. This cuts your completion time of 4 years down to 2 and a half.”

“Coolio, we change careers and we’re already ahead of the game!” Ron said exited.

“We didn’t change careers yet! We didn’t sign anything!” Kim said, still trying to wrap her head around this.

“All you two have to do is sign here and it’ll all be official.” Barkin said as he presented them with two pieces of paper.

“But…I…oh what the heck…” Kim said finally caving in.

She grabbed a pen and signed her name at the X. Ron followed suit.

“Good, now your first class starts in 5 I suggest you get moving on the double!” Mr. Barkin shouted.

“But where is it taking place?” Kim asked.

“The receptionist has all the info you need now get moving!”

They bolted from the room and towards the receptionist.

“Ron this day hasn’t made any sense!” she shouted as she spotted a stack of papers with her name on it.

“It is off the weirdness scale Kim but hey, so’s the story of our lives.” He said as he picked up his stack of papers.

“We’ll get a chance to wrap our heads around this when we’re done for the day.” He added as they rushed out the door.

“Wow…that doesn’t even begin to make sense with me.” Danny said.

“It seems so random and short, like someone though of it at the last minute and decided to shove it in without thinking.” Anthony added.

“So what happened to this Josh Mendicant?” Vince asked.

“From what we heard he was kicked out later that day, don’t know what ever happened to him…” Ron said as he finished off his glass of beer.

“So that was it? That’s the grand story of how you two ended up in this job? You were forced into it?” Anthony asked trying to wrap his head around it.

“Well we weren’t forced into it, on such short notice it did make sense to me…and looking back on it I don’t regret the choice.” Kim said finishing off her own beer.

“I don’t either.” Ron added.

Kim stood up from the table, a little tipsy. Ron did the same, causing some concerned looks from the three at the table.

“You two don’t look to good.” Vince said.

“I think they’re buzzed honestly…” Danny said.

“You’re not driving home right?” Anthony asked.

“Nope, car’s got an autopilot. It’ll drive us home…” Ron said.

“OK, now you’re obviously drunk. No car has an autopilot system…” Vince said.

“Mine does, my brothers put it in…” Kim said.

“No way…” Anthony said.

“Yes way, you want to take a look?” Ron asked.

“Yeah, I think we all want a look of this…” Vince said as he followed the two of them outside, with Danny and Ant right behind him.

Odd place to end this chapter yes, but you’ll understand next chapter.

Updates won’t be occurring the same time either, work is draining the fun out of me so I have limited time to write. It will get done though, and eventually so will the rest of my unfinished stories.

Read and review as always, till next time!
