Chapter 6: Behind closed doors

After Kim and Shego left, Hego quickly shut the door and adjourned back to the meeting room. He takes a deep breath and relaxes on the chair, unaware that the giant screen had come on with an important figure on it.

"Sister making a house call Hego?" asked the person.

Hego immediately opens up his eyes in shock and looks up at the screen.

". Uh…yes maam. Though not quite the visit I had expected."

Betty is sitting comfortably in her chair, with her hands clamped together and resting on her table. She looks a little bit concerned and deep in thought. Clearly she must've been following Miss Possible thought Hego.

"Hmm. It is odd but nothing we haven't seen before," said the eye-patched woman.

Hego remarked "You mean like the time when we…"

Betty cut him off short. She did not have time to listen to Hego rant on and reminisce the past.

"Yes Hego but this is slightly different. We have been following Miss Possible's movement and we suspect that she may be getting closer to the truth," she explained.

Hego is a little confused. He had been a part of this operation from the beginning but the number of situation changes that Global Justice hade made has left his a little confused. The superhero has other things to worry about as well besides some hidden agenda and the additional work and information that was left in his charge was not helping.

"Which is? I mean I mean, there's that whole deal with the Mole and all but…"

Again Betty cut him off short.

"I'm actually talking about her parents... Her real parents… She can never know Hego. I fear the worst if the two siblings are reunited. Already it seems to be happening," she explained.

There were many tough decisions that were left under Betty's charge. While some of them she considered to be substantially beneficial and wise, there are others still which even Betty had doubted her own judgement. She was thrown into the job after the previous chief had gone through a mental breakdown. The board of directors considered Betty to be competent enough and she had proven herself as a valuable asset time and time again. In addition to that, she felt that she had been given a once in a lifetime opportunity and a great honour to do what she had always wanted.

Hego notices the frown on Betty's face. He understands the concerns she has, as he too was there the day the infants were found even though he was still much younger then. He too had been put into difficult situations on many occasions though unlike Betty, Hego is seldom able to restrain himself from the pursuit of justice and heroism. Yet even he has doubts.

"Dr. Director, if I may speak freely?" he asked.

Betty replied in a rather hesitant yet firm.

"Granted."

"Do you think you really did the right thing to those two little infants?" asked Hego.

Betty hesitated slightly. Dwelling on the past was not something she was keen on as it reminder her of her failures. Yet she is aware that as chief of operations, she had responsibilities to uphold. She took great care in choosing her words when she spoke.

Betty explained, "Their birth was unexpected. We found them in a pod just outside of Lowerton not long after we apprehended their parents. We suspect that they were to be taken to their uncle to be raised, not knowing of course that we had apprehended him as well."

"Yes but breaking them up? I mean it does appear a little tad extreme," interjected Hego.

Hego had always been a person of moral conduct who goes by the book. However as a hero, Hego often had to put aside his believes in the cause of justice. Despite this, there are still limits to which even a hero like himself could stand.

Betty frowned. While she understood the importance of moral boundaries and the rules of ethics, her main task was to ensure that safety and justice be brought to any who would threaten the peace and sanctity of the world, regardless of the aftershocks.

"If the two never met then the collective danger that they post would be non-existent. Breaking them up was…the logical things to do," she explained.

She was trying not to sound so commanding, yet she can't deny the fact that the decision she made at the time was left to her alone and the problem needed to be resolved quickly, so as to avoid suspicion by the press. Hego stared blankly not sure what to make of the situation. He is aware that Betty had made some pretty radical decisions but often he wondered over the validity over some of them.

Hego simply replied, "I see."

Seeing the uncertainty of Hego's face, Betty defended her decision, "Besides, if we had not done so, the world might never have seen the likes of world famous teen hero Kim Possible."

This was a point that Hego could not ignore. Yet there are concerns that still troubled him.

"And if Miss Possible were to learn that her whole life were a lie?" he asked.

Betty acknowledges the point. She is aware of the dangers this could have. The psychological and emotional implications of Kim Possible discovering the truth about her birth parents could have devastating consequences.

"That is something that will never happen because the life that she currently knows is the ONLY one that she knows."

Hego doesn't appear convinced by Betty's statement. She knows Kim Possible to be a resourceful person and wonders how much longer Global Justice could keep this a secret. However, he decided not to push the subject any further.

"Hmm. I see."

Betty knew the conversation was over. She had merely wanted to confirm Hego's loyalty to Global Justice and to ensure that no secrets were revealed freely.

"I must go now Hego," she said.

"Affirmative. Go Tower. Out."

Hego disappears from the screen in Betty's office. She turns her swivel chair around to see Agen Will Du standing before her.

"Agent Du. Send in our newest Top Agent."

Will Du salutes the decision though deep inside, he had grown a resentment towards this new agent. He had been demoted to Number 2 after a series of reports claiming that he had been slacking in the field and was careless with the newest gadgets. However, Will respected the chief and maintained loyal to the organisation.

He acknowledges the decision, "Yes Maam."

Betty swivels her chair around and starts thinking deeply about the current situation. She had a lot to consider and thinks that developing a contingency plan might be in order, should the worst happen. The thought of Kim Possible and Shego working together was frightful.

Kim Possible was resourceful and had undergone personal training under Betty herself and was skilled in a huge range of combat techniques. Not to mention the fact that she was also extremely fast. Shego on the other hand was ruthless and precise. Her experience as a professional thief has given her an edge to evade the police and even her brothers easily. No, Betty thought. The two cannot be made to bond with each other. Betty now regrets some of the decisions she's made. However, she has no time to dwell as a figure steps in through the door. Her figure is cleverly concealed but it clearly suggests it's a female. Betty swivels her chair around to greet the agent.

"Have you located it yet?" she asked.

The figure, wearing tight blue jeans and a medium length brown coat replies in a confident and firm voice.

"Not yet Dr. Director but we're getting close. Very close," she replied.

Betty tried not to sound frustrated. She knew that her agents have been working extremely diligently but she's growing impatient in the thoughts of the consequences of failure.

"Keep searching every graveyard until we find it. We must find that hidden base before they do," commanded Betty.

"Right away maam."

The figure begin's proceeding towards the exit but is stopped short by Betty who gives some advice.

"Oh and…try to remain obscure. We wouldn't want people to think that a cheerleader practices with corpses. Oh and send Mole in. I have a new assignment for him."

"Understood maam."

A tuft of blonde hair disappears around the corner as the sliding doors to Betty's office seals shut. Betty swivels her chair around and resumes planning her strategy for solving the current problem.
