Chapter 8: Kim?
Shego didn't wait for orders to check on princess she just went. She didn't know why; maybe to keep everyone else safe if it didn't work or maybe she just wanted to be the hero for once. Shego even thought as low as to think maybe she cared about Kim or maybe she just wanted to take what Kim started. The only thing clear was that she was more nervous up on arriving the complex. Her breathing got harder and sort of disappeared as she went to turn the door to Kim's head office. Maybe she was afraid Kim was already a step ahead and had plans for when she showed up. "Kim?" Shego, said at almost a whisper.
No answer.
Shego traveled further into the room, by about two feet. "Kim?" Shego, said a little louder.
Still no answer
Shego decided it was safe to explore the room as she walked over to the desk it was completely empty. She then wondered over to the door that lead to the Supreme Leaders Bedroom. "Kim? It's Shego, can I enter?" Shego, asked permission just in case.
As Shego turned the door knob she found a figure in the corner huddled up in a ball. Sounds of heaping could be heard. "Kim? Is that you?" Shego, asked in her regular voice.
The figure slowly started to stand with her back turned to Shego. The figure slowly turned around. "Shego? How, could I of let this happen?" A heaping Kim, asked.
"Look it wasn't your fault. You had a chip in your blood." Shego, told her after realizing it was indeed the real Kim.
"I...I killed people, Shego." Kim, said in a whisper.
"Not you! The person responsible for the chip, did this." Shego, told her.
"You don't understand... I knew what I was doing...but, I didn't stop it." Kim, admitted.
"The chip was influencing you,... Kimmy, it wasn't your fault." Shego, proclaimed.
"Then whose fault... whose hands killed innocent people?" Kim, asked.
"It might of been your hands but, it wasn't really 'YOU'!" Shego, nearly shouted after getting aggravated.
"I finally lost." Kim, said.
Shego could tell all of Kim's hopes were gone. "Kimmy, you didn't lose yet. The chip was destroyed, we just need to find the person responsible so we or you can set justice were it's needed." Shego, told her.
Kim lowered her head. "Ron, probably hates me." Kim, said in a soft tone.
"No-one hates you, your not responsible, and your going to snap out of this so we can go catch this guy!" Shego, ordered. Before Kim could protest Shego said, "Not up for discussion, let's go!"
Shego brought Kim and her mom (Ann) back to the others in the hide out. Kim was welcomed by everyone-everyone except Ron. Kim didn't know if it was because, of the things that happened or because, things were so hectic.
"Ok, Kim. I'm going to need a few answers to help summarize things up?" Wade, told her.
"Go, Wade!" Kim, said in her normal getting ready for a fight voice.
"I need to know exactly what happened on that last mission?" Wade, asked.
"Exactly?" Kim, asked.
"This guy is like a ghost, there was no back traces, records, clues, any type of information could help." Wade, answered.
"I got there it was empty, completely cleared not even a desk or chair." Kim, answered.
"Now can you say that while being hooked up to this machine?" Wade, asked pointing towards a machine with hooks, needles, and hoses.
"Wade? Wh-what is that?" Kim, asked shyly.
"I call it the memtracible, I just need you to hold these hooks, some needles will be injected into your blood steam, and this hose will run through your nose to your brain." Wade, answered.
"Is it safe? And what will it do?" Kim, asked.
"From what I can tell it's 100% safe but, its only been tested on rodents. It will read memories that's compressed in your head." Wade, answered.
Kim walks over to the machine. "Ok, let's do this!" Kim, said a little unsure if she should.
This chapter was a bit short but, it seemed like a good place to stop...
