The Exam

6 Holmes vs Clouseau: Round 1

Wade sat in his office poring over patient charts when…

“Beep beep BeDeep!” ‘Haven’t heard that in a while…’ he thought as he opened his Kimmunicator. “What up Kim?”

An embarrassed and bashful Kim Possible looked at her former tech guru. “Uh. Hi. You busy?”

“A little. Patient charts. Nothing pressing, what do you need?”

“um.” She looked at everything but him. “I need you to do me a solid… Mom’s seeing someone… she won’t tell me who it is… I’m worried…”

The hair rose on the back of his neck. ‘Uh… Oh…’ he blushed. “Really. Heh. Sooo, you need me to spy on her for you?” ‘Dear God. When Anne hears about this…’

Kim stared at the floor. “Yeah. Just to make sure she’s ok. I trust her but… Dad left her well off. I just need to know the guy wants her… not her money.” She stared at her friend. “Something wrong?”

‘You don’t know the half of it…’ “Anne’s a grown woman Kim. Maybe you should trust her judgment…” he paused and let it sink in. “ Otherwise nooo. Nothing besides the fact that Kim Possible can’t trust her own mother to make a proper decision about her own life… No nothing at all…” he seethed.

“Wade. It’s not like that… well maybe it is… a little… I just…”

“Kim. Gotta go. Patients. Early start. ‘click!’” he sat and thought.

‘How am I gonna tell Anne?’

Then he smiled.

“Beep beep BeDeep!” “Yeah Wade?”

“Sure. I’ll help.” ‘Wait ‘til I tell Anne. Thank god I designed my master Kimmunicator to record everything.’

Later that afternoon.

Anne sat at her desk toying with her ring…

“Knock! Knock!”

“Come in.” she quietly said.

“Hi.” Wade said as he walked over, massaged her shoulders and waist, and kissed her. “We have to talk. It’s Kim.”

“I know. It’ll have to wait.” Anne had tears in her eyes.

Wade knelt next to her. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

Anne picked up an aluminum stein from her desk.

“Wrunk!” and crushed its mouth.

“How? The experiment?” Wade grew alarmed. “Ohmigod! The Baby!”

“Is fine. Perfect even… there’s more. It’s in my milk…” she cried.

Wade sat on the carpeted floor. “So I’m…”

“Infected too.”

“We’ll have to watch it… I’ll check to see if there’s a contagion…” she shushed him gently with her fingers.

“You’ve created what you were looking for. The bots I have enhance what you have… and they’re harmless… somehow they’re only spread from one true mate to another… probably a neurological trigger… a sense of intent…” she said.

“The Baby’s fine? Really?”

She gave a quick nod.

“Ok.” He took a deep breath. “Kim wants me to spy on the man that’s 'screwing you'. She wants to make sure he’s ‘right’ for you.”

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Really?” she giggled.

“Really. Take a look.” He handed her his Kimmunicator.

Anne took it in… “Ok, I’ll bite. What’s your plan?”

“I’ll work on that later. Right now I want to run some tests on the bots. Godamnit! I shouldn’t have let you talk me into letting you help…”

Anne tenderly looked into her beloved’s eyes. “Listen to me you Wonderful Dear Man. It’s NOT your fault. The Baby’s fine. We’re fine. Kim needs to be taught a lesson.” She sat on the floor next to him. “I chose for better, for worse… and if this is ‘worse’ with you then bring on the ‘best’.” She said as she snuggled into his chest. “By the way I told the staff to keep quiet about us around Kim and Ron…”

“Wait. They Knew?”

“Oh yeah. They were running an engagement pool. Sara won.” She said with a smile.

“Nah. We won.” He said as he kissed her.

Kim sat in the guest room grinning.

“Kim?”

“Yes sweetie?” she purred as Ron flopped down next to her.

“This is silly. Just ask her. She’ll tell ya.”

“No she won’t… Mom’s pregnant. Girl thing. Wade said he’ll help.”

“1) ASK her; 2) you’re being silly; 3) ASK her.”

“Won’t need to now Wade’s on the case!”

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”
