Chapter 1:

Rush to Save Tommy!

Jason just hung up his phone confused. He just got through talking to the best friend a guy could ask for.

"That was weird. Why would Tommy ask me to tell Kim I love you? He can do it himself unless... God Damn it, Tommy." Jason thought to himself seeing red. But now wasn't the time for anger. He picked up the phone.

"Jason, what's wrong?" asked Jason's wife Emily while her husband dialed.

"I need to call Hayley." He spoke without looking at her.

"Hello." said a tired female.

"Hayley, it's Jason."

"Jason, it's almost nine. I don't know about you, but..."

"There is no time to talk. You need to head over to Tommy's. NOW!" Jason demanded in a panic

stricken voice.

"Jason, whats wrong?"

"Tommy told me to tell Kim 'I love you'."

"Why would he... Oh god no. I'll be over there in ten minutes. How about you?"

"Me and Emily will be there in the hour. As soon as I hang up I'll call 911."

"Ok, Jason. I'll see you here." With that done Jason placed his home phone back where it belonged almost breaking it.

"Don't tell me Tommy's doing what I think he's doing." Emily said trying to hide the fear in her voice.

"Emily, get your shoes on."

"I was afraid of that." She knew her husband to well. He would never tell her the truth to something of this magnitude up front, but by telling her to put her shoes on confirmed her fear.

Hayley almost took out Tommy's mailbox when she swerved into his driveway. She also came awfully close to crashing into his jeep. To be honest she didn't care; the only thing she cared about was getting in Tommy's house. Hell the only clothes that were visible on her was a robe, fuzzy slippers and part of a nightgown. When Jason called her she was ready to go to bed; now she is scared that her best friend is dead. The moment her car jerked to a stop her door was open and she was running up his porch steps. She busted through the door like a NFL linebacker to see Tommy lying on his couch with a half empty pill bottle on top of a letter on the coffee table. She grabbed her friend by the shoulders and violently shook him.

"Tommy, Tommy, wake up! Wake up damn you!" She screamed to no avail. She knew it was pointless. She quickly looked at the note he wrote and skimmed over it. She knew she had little time before the EMT s and the police came. Thankfully she made it to the legendary ranger's house in a quarter if the time she originally predicted. She ran to Tommy's bedroom and retrieved his other note. She quickly returned to switch the letters. Upon hearing the ambulances and police sirens she quickly hid the letter in the one place on her she knew the police wouldn't look on her body. She then

returned to shaking her friend trying to wake him.

It took two officers to pull her away from Tommy. What would take mere moments felt like hours as she watched the EMT's place the legendary ranger on a stretcher, trying to save his life. One of the officers asked her the usual routine questions. All of which she answered truthfully except for the one about touching anything in the house besides Tommy. After the short interrogation and another cruiser arrived the policeman took her to the hospital in his car.

Hayley felt that the drive was lagging while on the way to the hospital. The cop offered to to stop by her place so she could change and she declined. She was just too focused on the legendary ranger to care. She might have been half-naked but she could change once Jason and Emily arrived. She briefly asked the cop to radio a dispatcher to call Jason's cell and let him know where Tommy was. Then she thought back to every second she spent with Tommy. Searching for some sort of warning sign that could have told her that he was depressed only to find none. No clue that her best friend since college was having suicidal thoughts.

"Leave it to Tommy to hide his emotions." she thought to herself.

Yeah it was like Tommy. Every time she saw him he was smiling. The only time she didn't see that smile of his was during the time he was frozen in amber to when he woke up from being unconscious

"God, please let me see him smile again." Hayley whispered as the officer pulled into Reefside General.

Jason was pulling into the parking lot of Reefside General fifteen minutes after one of the dispatchers called the cell and talked to his wife. The drive from Angel Grove to Reefside took three quarters of the time it normally would have due to Jason going one and half times the night time speed limit. He would have gone twice if it hadn't been for being pulled over for speeding on three separate occasions. If his wife wasn't there he would have three tickets to pay instead of being let off with a warning each time.

The former Red Ranger was upset enough for the night and having to spend five minutes searching for a parking spot just to find one in Bum F'ed Egypt. Jason and Emily ran through the automatic doors and nearly crashed into an empty nurses' station.

"Figures no one is around when you need them." Jason groaned

"Jason, Emily over her." Hayley called sitting alone in the practically empty waiting area. The Scotts quickly walked over and stood beside her.

"Is Tommy ok? Do you know what happened? Did you find a note?"

"Jason, sweetheart, she can only answer one question at a time." Emily chastised while trying to calm down her husband.

"Thank you. I don't know, I haven't found anybody that knows about Tommy; when I got there I found a half empty bottle of sleeping pills, and yes I found a note."

"Do you have it?

"The one Tommy wanted the police to find no, the one we were suppose to find yes."

"Let me see it."

"First let me and Emily go to the bathroom."

"Hayley, this is no time for you to freshen up. Tommy just tried to kill himself." The moment the words Jason knew he shouldn't of said them, and his wife let him know it. She slapped her husband in the back of the head while the Dino Thunder technical expert broke down into tears.

"Jason, you don't think I know this. He is in the hospital because I didn't know he was depressed. I spent almost every day with him and I didn't know." Hayley sobbed as she went to her knees.

"Hayley, let's go to the bathroom while my idiot for a husband tries to get some answers." said Emily holding the robed red head while glaring at her husband. Jason knowing it would be a good idea to, slunk away while his wife and the unofficial yellow ranger went to the bathroom. Thankfully an African American woman in her early fifties entered the nurses station as Jason arrived at it.

"Hello. How can I help you?"

"I need to know about Tommy Oliver."

"When did he arrive?"

"An ambulance brought him at least fifteen minutes ago." The woman typed the information and the Tommy's file.

"Can I have your name please?"

"Jason Scott."

"Sir, I'm sorry but you are not listed as next of kin."

"Listen that man is my best friend. Can you at least tell me if he's still alive?" Jason protested trying to keep his emotions in.

"Mr. Scott, I can't say anything to you without the consent of the patient or next of kin. Until then I'm sorry." The nurse stated before walking off. Jason threw his hands up in frustration. Here he is not knowing anything since Tommy called him. The multi-time ranger was his like a brother to him and he couldn't get any sort of information. Then that's when it hit him. Jason quickly stepped out to make a quick phone call.

"Hello?" answered a male voice.

"David, it's me Jason."

"Hi, Jason. It's late what do you need?"

"David, Tommy called me earlier. He's at Reefside General."

"I'll be there by midnight." David stated before hanging up the phone. Jason walked back inside into the hospital and saw Hayley and his wife sitting down looking at a folded peace of paper. He knelt down in front of them.

"Is that what I think it is?" Hayley simply nodded at Jason's question before handing it to him. Jason read what his best friend wrote before looking at the two women.

"Emily, call Trini, Aisha, Kat, Adam and Tanya. Tell Trini, Tiger down. Then Aisha, Kat, and Adam Falcon Down. If Tanya picks up instead of Adam say Red Zeo down." Emily knew what Jason meant. She happened to catch Jason trying to sneak out just before the Red Ranger mission. That was why he was late. She forced him to tell her everything or else. So she's well aware that Jason and his friends were power rangers.

"I'll call Conner and the D.T.s and relay the message."

"Ok that leaves me with Zack, Billy, Rocky, Justin and Kim."

"Are you sure you want to call her Jason?"

"Yes, Emily, I have to call her. Tommy asked me to tell her he loves her." Jason answered.

"Emily, will you take me to my apartment? My car is at Tommy's and I need to change."

"Sure. Jason are you going to stay here?"

"I have to. Somebody needs to be here when David arrives." said Jason before handing he's car keys to Emily.

"Who's going to call Tommy's parents?" Asked Hayley getting up to leave.

"I guess I can try and call them." said Jason as he escorted them out of the hospital.
