Chapter Ten

A Plea for Help

Two days later Kim and was starting to get antsy just sitting around in her hospital room. When Shego walked in followed closely by Yori, the first words out of Kim's mouth was.

"Did you find Drakken yet?"

"Well hello to you too Kimmy," was Shego's response. "Maybe we should be out at the park looking for Drakken or making sure that he's not taking in the sights of Hong Kong. Instead we are wasting our time visiting you! Well actually I don't know about Yori, but I'm here for Ron!"

Apologizing Kim said "I'm sorry I didn't mean it to sound like that, I am glad to see you guys. You of all people should know how I get when I'm cooped up in a hospital when I know that there is a job to do. Especially when Dr. Drakken is involved besides after what they did on that ferry, it's personal. How many people died that day?"

Yori said "We don't know Kim, but we did catch almost all of the Black Roses. Unfortunately several of them were killed on the ferry! I just don't understand how anyone could even want to work for somebody as cold and cruel as Dr. Zin or Drakken. They don't care about anything or anyone."

"That's not really true" said Shego; "Drew did care for his people. We had a very close relationship and he never treated me badly. Even the time that he had that mind control chip on me he never took advantage of me or ordered me to do something he knew I wouldn't normally do. Anyhow enough of this small talk, I came here to see Ron like I said."

Walking over to Ron, Shego gave him a kiss on his cheek, then a small jeweler box. Looking rather confused, Ron asked "What was that is for?"

Smiling at him, Shego answered "Just open the box silly."

In it was a gold charm shaped like a deep-sea diver taking the charm from the box Shego clipped it on to his necklace.

"The kiss was for saving Kimmy; the charm is for your diving skills. Ron I must confess, you never cease to amaze me. Every time I think I'm better at something than you, you prove me wrong. If you had not been there, Kim would have died that day; we may have never have found her. I almost had her, but almost wasn't good enough. All I could do was watch as you swam past me and grabbed her."

"Thanks Shego but I didn't do anything special. In fact Race is the one that had to save us, remember?"

"Wrong" answered Shego; "If you hadn't stopped Kimmy's decent Race would have never found her. Didn't anyone tell you how he found you two? When Race found you two, you were kissing and both of your arms were wrapped so tight around each other he had to pry you two apart before he could swim to the surface."

Dr Possible walked into the room, to very loud laughter.

"So I see you two are feeling better, are you ready to go home?"

"Yea mom about going home, I can't just go back to school with Drakken on the loose. I'm not letting him get away with killing all those people on that ferry."

"Kim believe me, I know how you feel, but you, Ron and Yori need to get on with your schooling and let the rest of Global Justice worry about finding Drakken. Besides if I know Drew, I'm willing to bet that once he found out that Shego is now working with Global Justice he's thinking about turning himself in."

Kim was just about to protest when Dr Chan walked in.

"Ah Dr. Possible, I was hoping to run into to you today. How are our patients?"

"I was just thinking of sending Kim home so she could get back to school," answered Anne.

"That is good news that she is feeling so much better already. But I beg of you do not let her fly away just yet, or she will miss the celebration that all of China has worked so hard to plan in her honor."

"What celebration?" asked Kim

"Oh Miss Possible-Chan, you are a great hero here in China and we have planned a celebration to show how glad we are that you did not perish on the ferry."

Shego just rolled her eyes, and then said "See there, you are the Chosen One and here all this time we had a celebrity in our mist and never knew it."

"Shego quit it, I'm no celebrity and I don't want a celebration for letting those mad men get away" snapped Kim.

Dr Chan stepped up to Kim; then took her hands in his explaining to her.

"Miss Possible-Chan like, it or not you are a very important person to the whole world. Your life has been well documented thanks to Mr. Load and his web site. You have inspired young people in China and around the world to fight for what is right and if you believe in ones self, that anyone can do anything. In the last two years the number of young lady's entering college in China has tripled and almost all say that you are their inspiration. Just wait until your mother's adventures are added to your site; China will have an explosion of great women doctors."

He then turned to Anne saying "Speaking of doctors, I was wondering if I could beg a huge favor of you. I have a patient's file and test results that I could use your opinion on, if it is not too much trouble?"

"Of course not, let's go to your office and have a look, shall we."

Then Anne turned to Shego instructing her, "Shego I'm releasing them into your custody make sure that they go straight to the hotel and settled in. No fooling around and no horseplay, Kim is still recovering from a concussion."

Standing at attention, and then giving a salute Shego answered "Yes ma'am." Anne just shook her head and walked out followed by Dr Chan.

Setting the file down Anne looked up at Dr. Chan then asked;

"This file started out four years ago, is this person still alive?"

"Yes she will be fourteen next month, but I fear that she may not make it that long. What is your assessment of her condition?"

"You already knew what my assessment would be, didn't you? You showed me this because you're hoping that I can help her. Is that why you wanted Kim to stay around a few more days," asked Anne? "Is that what you're doing pretending to have a celebration for Kim?"

"No! Dr Possible the celebration is not pretend. I just wanted your opinion on how I should proceed; you see I intend to operate and I know that this surgery has only been performed once before."

"Yes by me, in the states! Dr. Chan before I can give you my assessment I need to meet this young lady, would that be possible?"

"Yes of course she is in for her weekly sessions right now, please follow me."
