Time: 12:45am, Saturday

Place: Possible Household

Still shaken up from the events that unfolded in front of her eyes, Kim still embraced the crying Bonnie.

Ron and the other members of the Possible family were still in disbelief as well, for they never witnessed any seies of events like this. First, there was the 48-15 defeat to South Panola in front of all those Mad Dog fans and, now, their good and innocent friend, Tara Queen, was locked away behind bars for robbing their house. On top of that, the thunderstorm was still raging outside.

They were all in the Possibles' garage.

James then noticed a new sound pelting against the roof of the garage. He immediately recognized that it was hail. And then, the tornado sirens continued their incessant blaring.

With a worried look, he turned to the Tweebs.

"Jim, Tim, get the weather radio, NOW!!" James demanded. Tim and Jim heeded their father's command and went into the kitchen where Camille made the fateful 911 call to imprison Tara. Jim opened the cabinet for the Possibles' weather radio and immediately returned to the garage. The wind was blowing through the broken front door. A few items in the living room rattled quite a bit from the wind.

When the two returned to the garage, they immediately plugged in the radio to the nearest outlet. The weather radio stated the following:

The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a Tornado Warning for ... Forrest County until 1:20am CDT.

At 12:45am CDT ... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado. This dangerous storm was located 8 miles south of Moselle or 14 miles west of Richton ... moving south at 35 MPH.

Locations within the warning include: Eastabuchie, Leeville, Dragon, Glendale, Varnado, Middleton ....

At that moment, James turned the radio off. For the second time in a week, a severe storm was heading right towards them. Kim was facing the same sitch twice in a row: Middleton loses a game in the series by a huge margin, a series of bad events befalls upon Kim or her friends and a storm appears.

Anne motioned to the other six occupants to head towards their most interior room without any windows: the Possibles' large master bathroom. Jim pressed the button on the universal door opener to open the side door that connects the house to the garage. The Tweebs, Ron, Bonnie, Kim, James and Anne all entered back into the house. They saw that the wind was blowing wildly across the house for the door was still broken. Lightning

Tim pulled out his Wind Counter from his backpack. It clocked at 65 MPH. Priceless possessions, including collector's plates, were being blown off their stands and shattered to the ground into little pieces.

Jim, utilizing the full potential of the universal door opener, pressed a small button on the underbelly of the machine. Instantly, it grew legs and went to the place where the broken front wooden door once stood. The door opener transformed itself into a solid, metal door with door hinges and all. It helped seal off the blowing winds from causing any further damage.

James once again rubbed his hand on Jim and Tim's mussed-up hair for performing .

"That's my boys." James proudly exclaimed. Anne nudged her head a little bit to move everyone to the master bathroom. Bonnie, although her tears dried up a little bit, was still upset over the horrible turn of events the last three hours have presented to her and Kim.

"Hicka-Bicka-Boo!" Tim shouted out his favorite catchphrase

The other half of the Tweebs, Jim, replied back with his own: "Hoo-sha!!" The Tweebs gave a high-five to each other.

The next thing that James heard, though, was a high-pitched scream from his wife. A bright flash of lightning illuminated the master bedroom with a large boom of thunder that followed it. James and the rest came to the bedroom to see what the commotion was all about. He turned on the lights. At that moment, he, Kim, Bonnie, Ron, and the Tweebs all gasped.

Anne was weeping uncontrollably, "James, our fifth anniversary pendant! Its - its, IT'S GONE!!!!!!!!!!" James was in complete disbelief. The robbery has claimed their most valued piece of jewelry. Only the display case was there.

Anne embraced her husband, still crying into his arms. "James!! We GOTTA find that pendant!!! It's our most valuable possession!!!"

James then glanced his eyes toward his daughter. Kim was their only hope of finding that piece of jewelry, for she was a quick detective in addition to being the crime-fighting secret agent superhero that she is. As Anne continued to sob, James issued Kim's next mission, her first in about 2 weeks.

"Kimmie-cub, find out who stole your mother's pendant, bring it back, and bring whoever was responsible for this crime to justice!" James stated his objectives to his daughter. Kim immediately nodded her head in agreement.

All seven people immediately huddled into the master bathroom. James immediately shut the door and locked it, battery-operated weather radio in hand.

"I'm on it, Dad!" Kim said as she immediately pulled out her Kimmunicator. Bonnie and Ron looked over her shoulder.

"Wade, we have a huge problem!" Kim exclaimed with a worried look to the screen.

The Kimmunicator immediately showed Wade on-screen with his usual array of computers.

"Hey, Kim! What's up?" the 13-year old computer genius asked Kim.

Ron yelled through the Kimmunicator's screen, "Wade! KP's family got robbed!"

Bonnie added in, "And the thief stole their anniversary pendant worth $100,000!"

Wade, who was drinking an orange soda, instantly left his room. All the Kimmunicator showed was his room as Kim, Bonnie, and Ron heard, once again, the spitting out of the contents of the soda and the running of water from the bathroom sink before Wade returned to his chair.

"You're right, Kim! This is a huge problem and ...." He instantly gasped as he continued typing along on the keyboard. "I've been looking at the evidence from the case and it all points to one person --- Tara Queen. She is being detained at the juvenille hall. Her fingerprints are all over the jewelry."

"That's our point, Wade!" Bonnie cried out briefly before taking a deep breath and calming down. "Something doesn't seem right at all. Why would an innocent cheerleader and one of my best friends commit this horrible crime to Kim? If K is going to investigate in this case, I'll join in with her as well!"

"Count me in!" Ron added with a cocked eyebrow. "Rufus would agree with me if he was here, but he went home with my parents."

"I understand," his red-haired girlfriend agreed. She knew that Rufus would be afraid of these types of thunderstorms.

All three friends nodded their heads in agreement of their common goal: find out who really stole their jewelry and set Tara free.

"I'll catch you up later, guys! Right now, the storm's above our house!" Wade exclaimed as Mrs. Load yelled for him to move to the hall bathroom as the two heard bits of hail on top of them. The Kimmunicator screen went back to the KP logo again.

Then, Bonnie noticed something else that was wrong. "Uhhh, Kim? Ron? I hate to tell you this but I just noticed that the lights are beginning to flicker!" And indeed, she was right. The bathroom lights began to flicker on and off.

Kim and Ron noticed it as well as the boyfriend/girlfriend couple held their hands together for protection and safety.

And then the last thing that they heard was the carbon monoxide alarm and the smoke detectors emitting off a loud beep.

And suddenly ---- darkness.

"Oh, no!!" Tim exclaimed as the seven occupants in the bathroom were suddenly plunged into darkness. "Please don't tell me ....."

".....that the power went out!" Jim gasped as he finished up his brother's sentence.

Luckily, the master bathroom had a spare flashlight. It was the only source of light that they had.

The tornado sirens continued to blare throughout the entire city of Hattiesburg and the Middleton suburbs as well. Nickel-sized hail was beginning to rain down on the Possible house.

Through the brightness of the single bulb of that flashlight, and through the second series of troubles that she went through tonight, she saw her favorite harmonica that was still in the handbag.

Mmm, I'll save my new blues song for later. Right now, I got both bad weather and a power outage to deal with! Kim gave a heavy sigh as she closed up her handbag. She and Ron held each other very closely.

"Don't worry, kids. Everything's going to be alright!" James said with a tone of nervousness in his voice. He turned the battery-operated weather radio back on again.

We have a confirmed tornado on the ground along the east side of Hattiesburg. It is a EF-0 tornado.

James stayed inside the bathroom with the other six occupants. He did not want to go into his master bedroom where there are windows present, be it an EF-0 or an EF-5 tornado. All he cared about, right now, was the safety of his wife, his children, and their two long-time friends.

For the next 30 minutes, all the seven people in the master bathroom huddled together for safety. They braced for whatever damage this light tornado would bring.

Then, after that, the wind ......... suddenly ............ died down.

Kim, Ron, and Bonnie all breathed a sigh of relief that the worst was over, even though they can still hear the heavy rain on the roof.

James activated the makeshift door and investigated any damage that had been done to the house in the heavy precipitation. A few shingles came off of the roof, but no futher damage was done. In fact, the severe damage to the house and the family that resided within it had already been done an hour and a half ago with the robbery.

"So, what's the damage sitch?" Kim asked as she brought out her mother and her boyfriend from the front door.

"Well, Kimmie-cub, we may have lost a few shingles but the house is fine!" James answered in a proud manner. Yet he still knew that his wife was still upset about the theft of her most valuable, and cherished, possession. However, he was confident as well, for Kim, Bonnie, and Ron are on the case to find that important piece of jewelry and free Tara from Juvie.

Kim kissed her mom on the cheek and her boyfriend on the lips, thanking them for their safety and protection from the storm. Bonnie and the Tweebs came in and hugged their friend and sister.

Suddenly, David and Cecilia drove up in the station wagon in the rain. Suddenly, a chill came over them. The cold front has passed over them. Kim grabbed her Kimmunicator for the current temperature outside. In a couple of hours, the temperature dropped from 59 degrees to just 42.

Kim, Bonnie, the Possible family, and Ron shuddered as the cold rain pelted on them. David came out of the wagon to offer the drenched family his umbrella.

"Thanks, David! We would've gotten even more drenched if it hadn't been for your gracious help! Anyways, we got robbed about two hours ago!" James thanked David and then told him the unfortunate news.

"Yes, I know, James. It's horrible! And poor Tara, I still can't believe it! She's an honest and good girl! What could force her to do this?" David asked with a growing concern for the jailbird cheerleader.

"I don't know, but my Kimmie-cub, Ronald, and Bonnie are on the case. They'll find our jewelry!" James said with a confident look then turned to his wife, who still had tears in her eyes. "I hope."

"Well, KP, it's time for me to leave for now. I got a practice from hell tomorrow. It's the only way we can beat South Panola in Game 5 on Monday." Ron explained his team's sitch as he gazed into his girlfriend's eyes.

Kim hugged and kissed her boyfriend on the lips for a brief moment.

"I hope so, Ron. In my eyes, you're the best football player on this Mad Dog squad and I know we can win over the Tigers. We have to believe in ourselves as a team." Kim exchanged those words of hope and friendship into the tailback.

The two gave one last good-night kiss, considering what they had been through tonight: the Game 4 slaughter, the Doghouse Blues, Tara being arrested for robbing their house, and severe weather. Through all of this, they managed to stick together, along with Bonnie, through it all.

Kim blew a good-bye kiss to Ron as he entered the station wagon with his parents. Bonnie and the rest of the Possible family waved goodbye to the Stoppables as they drove off.

The cold weather was already beginning to settle in. Even Anne could feel the bitter wind and rain. James opened the UR door as the rest of the family and the youngest Rockwaller entered back into the still-dark house.

The worst was over, but the Possible household, and the houses that surround it, still had no power.

Using the flashlight, James guided her daughter to bed. Bonnie went into the Tweebs' closet to get a sleeping bag so that she could sleep on the floor right next to Kim. She went upstairs along with Kim and James to her friend's room.

It had been one long, and traumatic, night for her. Yet, Bonnie remained baffled of how Tara could do such a thing to Kim's family considering that she is Kim's long-time friend as well as her's.

"Goodnight, Daddy!" Kim called back to her father as he prepared to go downstairs to tuck in Tim and Jim.

"Night, Mr. Possible!" Bonnie said to James in a brief smile before laying down on the sleeping bag. The smile quickly faded away from her as she stared at the ceiling.

James went down the ladder as Kim and Bonnie were alone with their thoughts and concerns on Tara.

"It just doesn't seem right, K! I mean, why would anyone with high morals, such as Tara, come in, break into your house? Something in this puzzle just doesn't seem to fit!" Bonnie said with a vexed look across her face as she put her hands behind her head, lying down.

"I am just as confued as you are, B! I mean, Tara has helped out in her church, in the Middleton community, and at the high school as well. She couldn't have done this!" Kim replied to the tanned vixen, also with an apprehensive look on her.

Then a bright idea came across Bonnie's mind. "Hey, K! How about after cheer practice tomorrow, we'll gather up whatever information Wade had processed from the evidence at the scene on his computers."

Kim had the same excited feeling as her friend. "Then, we, along with Ron after football practice, can analyze the information and see what clues the police might have missed. That way, the police would lead up to the real suspect in this case and, eventually, exonerate Tara!" But then, another concern crossed Kim's mind. "Which brings me to the other problem that this sitch has presented: Who's going to fill up Tara's co-captain cheerleading role for the next four days?"

"Well," Bonnie said as she put a finger to her chin, "I can talk with Sharpay after practice and see if she can help fill void, but for only that four-day span. By that time, Tara will be free for a week until her trial begins. So, either way, Tara is going to miss Game 5."

Kim nodded her head sadly, "Yeah, it's going to be very hard on the squad, but, like any other sitch, we can get through this as a team."

Remembering her speech on that football turf after Game 4, Bonnie agreed with the red-haired cheerleader.

"You're right, K! We will prove, once and for all, of Tara's innocence, recover the jewels, and get the real perpetrator of this crime!" the youngest Rockwaller exclaimed as she closed her jade eyes. Soon, sleep overtook her.

The red, fiery hair of Kim finally laid to its rest on the sheets. The headstrong cheerleader, like so many times, closed her eyes. Both went to sleep at 1:40am.

She, along with Bonnie and Ron beside her, hope to free Tara from her prison through loopholes that the police might have missed in their apparent open-and-shut case of the robbery that befell them.
