"What do you mean, Kimmie's gone?"
"I'm sorry Shego, but you'll have to ask her family."
"Look Nerdlinger, you a genius and you can't give me simple information?"
"All I know is that she was taken in the middle of the night and your presence was requested by her family."
Shego stood irritated outside the possible household. She had no idea why they wanted her there, she was Kimmie's nemesis for heavens sake, but nevertheless, they wanted her there. Ringing off from the child genius, Shego walked up to the house and was about to knock on the door when Anne Possible opened it, a distraught look on her face.
"Thank you for coming Shego." The brain surgeon said before motioning for the thief to enter.
"So, why am I here?"
"There were two notes left on her bed. One telling us she had been kidnapped and the other was addressed to you." Anne handed Shego the envelope.
Opening and reading it, Shego went the equivalent of pale with her skin-tone.
There was a photo of Kim bound and gagged to a chair, unconscious. The note below read:
We know your weaknesses, we know what drives you. If you want to see her again, come to Go Mall in the food court at midnight tonight. Alone. If you bring anyone, and I mean anyone, we will kill her.
Shego gulped. No-one knew what they did, why they had taken Kimmie. The name at the bottom had given Shego no choice but to go. She took the picture and let the note fall to the ground, then stormed out to make the trip to Go City.
James picked up the note and scanned it, and stared intently at the name on the bottom.
Master Manipulator.
Shego looked around the familiar food court. Waiting for the Manipulator. She was the only one who could defeat him, she had personally put him in jail. He was a master at surveillance, finding out your weaknesses. Shego had thought it had ended when he was in prison, seeing as who she never showed weakness, ever.
"Shego." The voice came from nowhere. It was masculine, and very familiar to the thief.
"Double M, we meet again. Ready to get your ass kicked like last time?"
"You amuse me Shego. The moment you step out of line, I will harm your little girlfriend."
Shego gritted her teeth, "she is not my girlfriend."
"But you have a soft spot for her, how quaint. You will do what we ask, exactly how we ask."
"Who's the we?"
"I'm sure you remember the Cunning Cat? You solely defeated her as well."
"Oh yeah. I remember her. Didn't she try to control the entire cities cats? You know, it just hit me how stupid my brothers must be to have been outsmarted by a couple of dimwits. She must have been Cat-atonic after that." Shego taunted. The Double M was still hiding in the shadows.
"Just do as we say and the girl won't be harmed. Take Go Tower. I don't care how you do it, wether you plead with you brothers or beat them up. Just do it, then exit the building and wait for further instructions."
Shego was left with no choice but to do it. Deep down, she did in fact care for the teen hero and wanted her safe.
