GJ Person(s) of Interest Form

Case Ref: POSSKA-17-001

PI Ref: 0047

Name: Lynnette Andretti

Known Aliases: Adrena Lynn, 'Freaky' Lynn

Relation to Suspect: Former enemy; former associate of Shego (PI Ref 0006); recently employed by Veligruan Security.

Location: Presidential Compound, Veligrua

Interrogation: Veligruan Security has provided a copy of the subject's statement regarding the suspect and the suspect's previously unsuspected arrangement with Shego. Requests for a face to face interview with Global Justice operatives have been declined due to 'security concerns'.

Biography: Former host of an 'extreme stunts' TV show. Exposed by the suspect for faking her stunts, the subject attempted to gain revenge and was subsequently humiliated on national TV. Served five years for attempted murder. Worked on several programs as backstage crew after her parole. Upon the conclusion of her full nine-year sentence, the subject joined Shego's operation as an electronics and surveillance expert. During the cause of the pursuit of the suspect, the subject approached Veligruan Security with proof of Shego's deal with the suspect against Global Justice.

Surveillance: Subject has remained in Veligruan Presidential Compound since the capture of Shego and the suspect. No surveillance has been possible.

Recommendation: Discontinue surveillance until such time as subject leaves Presidential Compound.


Kim stared idly at the blank glass wall in front of her. It was featureless to her eyes, but she had no doubt that a dozen Global Justice technicians were behind it, analyzing her heart rate, her perspiration, the dilation of her eyes, and at least fifteen other gauges for determining whether she was telling the truth. A faint smile flickered over her lips as she considered how useless it would probably all be. She'd been in the monitoring room dozens of times, and she'd never once seen all that electronic wizardry read anyone as well as Doctor Director could.

"Ms Possible." A formal voice greeted her as the door to the room opened.

"Hi Will." Kim smiled pleasantly. "I'd offer to shake your hand, but ..." she jingled her cuffs, which were locked to the table.

The Global Justice operative checked his watch.

"Interview commenced at nine thirty eight by Senior Agent Will Du. Present in the room are myself and the prisoner, Kimberly Anne Possible." He turned his attention to Kim. "I'd like to keep this formal. Please refer to me as Agent Du, Ms Possible."

"Not gonna happen, Will. I saved your butt half a dozen times while I was working here. I think that earns me first name privileges." She also knew the informality would annoy him, possibly make him off-balance. "Where's Betty?"

"Doctor Director had ... other business to attend to." The stiffness of Will's reply went beyond his usual formality. Kim frowned. Something unusual was going on.

"The first interrogation of the world's most wanted criminal, and the head of Global Justice's operations isn't here? Whatever that business is, it must be big."

Will Du didn't answer. Kim's frown deepened. What could keep Betty Director from attending this interrogation? Something niggled at the back of her brain. Something Mego had said.

"What's going on, Will? Is Doctor Director okay?"

"Ms Possible, you seem to misunderstand the point of this interrogation. I will be asking you the questions."

Doctor Director was evidently not okay. Kim deliberately shrugged and steadied her breath, trying to make her heart to slow its rapid beat. Mego had said something about Betty calling Team Go to reclassify their mission as 'humanitarian'. That smelled like politics, to Kim. And if that was true, the last thing Betty needed was people wondering why a captured felon cared how she was.

"So ask your questions, already." Kim sprawled back in her chair; as much as the cuffs would let her, anyway; consciously imitating the nonchalant scorn she'd seen Shego display in the same situation.

"What's your relationship to Shannon Edwards, better known as Shego?"

"What's our relationship?" Kim raised her eyebrows. "You'd think the people who hired her to hunt me would already know that."

"Just answer the question, Ms Possible."

"Fine. We're enemies."

"Enemies?" Will Du looked frankly disbelieving. "You gave up your freedom to save the life of a woman you consider your enemy?"

"Yes."

"You expect me to believe that?"

"I don't really care whether you believe it, Will." Kim shrugged off Du's skepticism. "It's what happened."

"So there's no truth to the allegation that you and Shego are secretly cooperating in order to maximize both your chances of evading capture?"

Kim gaped, then snorted with laughter.

"Where in the world did you get that idea from?"

"From Shego."

Kim blinked. Why would Shego say something like that? For that matter, did that mean ...

"She's awake? Is she okay?"

"As it happens, she awakened this morning. She'll be transferred to the cells later today. I must say, you seem rather concerned for the welfare of your so-called 'enemy'."

"Well like you said, I did put my ass in a sling for her." Kim smirked. "It's nice to know it wasn't in vain."

"I wouldn't start celebrating just yet, Ms Possible. Ms Edwards may have recovered from her injuries, but she still has to answer for her crimes."

"Her crimes? You mean she didn't demand an amnesty in return for hunting me?"

"An amnesty was part of the arrangement, but that offer was predicated on good faith on Ms Edwards's part. And as you well know, Ms Edwards had no real intention of capturing you."

"Funny ... the nanobomb she set off in my face felt pretty damn real."

"Ms Possible, your insistence on this fiction of animosity between yourself and Ms Edwards will not help your case when it comes to judgment."

"My 'insistence on this fiction of animosity'? Will, are you even human?" Kim cut Will off from any response. "Let me guess ... flippancy won't help me either, right? Look: Shego and I are enemies. Always have been. I don't know why she'd claim different ... if in fact she did. Maybe whatever painkillers you have her on are messing with her head."

"Ms Edwards mentioned your alliance before her capture." Will Du gestured with his hand and a panel slid up in one of the room's bare steel walls, revealing a flat screen monitor. The screen quickly flickered to life.

Kim caught her breath, recognizing the image of Shego and Maria. The Veligruan woman was speaking, her voice picked up with crystal clarity.

"And now you are helping her? I thought you were a thief, not a hero?"

"You thought right." Shego smirked, then raised a hand when Maria flushed. "Look, I'll be honest with you. I'm helping Princess with her little crusade for selfish reasons."

There was more, but Kim didn't listen to it. This was bad. Shego had really dumped them both in it this time. Maria too. Eventually, the recording came to an end and Will Du turned to the redhead with a grim expression.

"Why would Ms Edwards make those claims if they weren't true?"

Because she was trying to win Maria's trust. Not that Kim was going to say that.

"I have no idea. Maybe it would help if I knew who she was talking to, and why ..."

"Ms Possible ... the Veligruan authorities have already identified Maria Mendes, more correctly Maria Bolivar, a known political activist whom you broke out of custody nearly two weeks ago. The authorities are looking for her as we speak."

Kim cocked her head to one side and shrugged. 'Looking for her'. At least that meant Maria hadn't already been captured. It was unusual for Will to make such an elementary slip. He was too by-the-book to be a really good interrogator, but he knew better than that.

"So there's no chance you'll believe I'm not secretly in an alliance with Shego?"

"The evidence of your alliance seems pretty damning, Ms Possible."

"Oh come on, Will." Kim gestured at the screen. "Look at that footage! It's crystal clear! The sound is perfect! Have you ever seen real surveillance footage like that?"

Will Du folded his arms. He looked like he wanted to reject what she'd said. But he couldn't. They both knew she was right.

"This is a set-up, Will. You're too good of an agent not to see that." Kim gestured at the screen. "For picture and sound that clear, whoever was watching them had top quality gear set up beforehand, and a microphone at the table."

"All of which might be relevant if this footage hadn't come from within Ms Edwards's own organization." Will cut her off. "Yes, the surveillance was prearranged. It doesn't make what Ms Edwards said any less true."

"Oh come on." Kim rolled her eyes. "Shego was just saying whatever she thought might lead her to me."

"So you admit she had some reason for thinking Ms Bolivar would know of your whereabouts?"

Kim bit her lip.

"I not saying anything about whether Shego had a reason to think it." She snapped. "Reason seems in short supply right now. You got this footage from Lynn, right? The person who shot Shego? She can't be trusted! She hates us both!"

"As interesting as your conspiracy theories are, Ms Possible, I doubt that my superiors will put much store in them." Agent Du said dismissively. Kim was perplexed. Will was insufferably prim, and more than a little smug, but he was also competent. It was like he was being deliberately obtuse.

"So that's it, then?" She asked bitterly. "GJ have decided Shego and I were working together all along – despite years of fighting each other – and you're shipping us off to Facility D?"

"We're shipping you off, but you won't be joining Doctor Director. The Veligruan authorities have demanded both you and Ms Edwards be extradited to their custody, and Global Justice has agreed." Will Du glanced at his watch. "I don't think we'll learn anything further right now. Interview terminated at nine fifty one."

Kim gaped at Agent Du turned on his heel and walked out of the door. Her stomach was roiling: Betty was in Facility D? Why was Doctor Director in Global Justice's most secure holding facility? And now Kim and Shego were to be sent to Veligrua. They wouldn't live long if General Harker had them. She couldn't believe Will Du was ... Kim's train of thought came to a sudden halt as a glimmer of hope appeared in her mind. What she really couldn't believe was that Will Du had let slip Betty's location by accident. He was too experienced to do that. In fact, Will had made a number of minor slips in the interview. Things a lesser agent might have done by mistake. But not Will Du.

As four guards escorted her back to her cell, Kim Possible suppressed a smile. Will had found a way to provide her with useful information. If she lived through this, she'd have to thank him. But the first priority had to be survival. And for that, she was going to need a little help from her friends ... and her enemies.


Shego leaned wearily against the bars of her cell, listlessly observing the redhead in the opposite cage. Kim had hooked her knees over the frame of the top bunk in her cell, and was doing a series of rapid, vertical crunches. Shego, still lethargic from whatever drugs the doctors had pumped her with, couldn't imagine finding the energy to match the younger woman. So she'd spent the hours since she'd been moved from the infirmary to the cells in trying to find the right words to say to Kim. The redhead had given up her own freedom to save Shego's life. It was a act of self-sacrifice that Shego still found hard to believe. She wanted to make sure that she made Kim understand exactly how she felt about it. At last, she had chosen what to say. It wasn't exactly poetry, but at least it was succinct.

"You're an idiot, Pumpkin."

Kim paused in mid-crunch, then relaxed, allowing her body to hang upside down as she stared across the corridor at the green woman.

"That's not a very polite thing to say to someone who saved your life."

"Doy. Saving my life is what makes you an idiot."

"Really?" Kim swung herself upward, unhooked her knees from the bed frame, and dropped to the floor. She considered the matter for a moment. "Yeah. I guess you're right. That was a dumb thing to do."

Shego stared at the younger woman in shock. Surely the redhead couldn't be serious?

Kim smirked. Shego couldn't believe it. Here they were, imprisoned in a high security prison buried under who knew how many tons of dirt and concrete, and Kim Possible had apparently gone insane.

"What's so damn funny, Princess?"

"Only you could complain about still being alive."

"I'm not complaining about being alive." Shego snapped, folding her arms. "I'm complaining about you being an idiot."

"Because I saved your life? Is your life not worth saving?"

"We're enemies! I was hired to hunt you!"

"True." Kim acknowledged, stretching to her left and frowning in thought. "So anyone who saves their enemy's life is an idiot?"

"Y –" Shego snapped her mouth shut, cutting off her automatic response. There was something about the younger woman's expression that screamed 'Trap!' to her. "Wait a damn second, Pumpkin. This is nothing like the times I saved your scrawny rear end!"

"Uh huh."

"It's not!"

"'Uh huh' is an agreeing noise."

"Well ... you agreed in a disagreeable way."

Kim burst into a peal of laughter. Shego stared at her, eyes narrowed.

"Seriously, Kimmie ... I think being locked up has made you stir crazy. You're in way too good a mood."

"I'm just happy you're alive."

Shego blinked.

"You are?"

"Hey, I've never wanted you to die."

"Never?" Shego challenged. She saw the younger woman flush. For the first time, Kim's gaze dropped from her own. But then redhead lifted her head and looked the taller woman directly in the eye.

"... once." Kim admitted. "But it was a long time ago."

"So that whole 'hide from me, or I'll crush you like a bug' thing?"

"Bluff." Kim shrugged.

"... you can admit it just like that? You're not worried that I'll start hunting you again?"

Kim shrugged once more, a smile tugging at her lips.

"I suppose you could, but why would you? There won't be any profit in it, since I very much doubt GJ's offer is on the table any more. Your friend Lynn gave them a recording where you claim that you and I are secretly allies. Global Justice seem willing to accept it at face value."

Shego frowned.

"I gave Betty more credit than that."

"So do I. She's not in charge any more." Kim caught the startled look on Shego's face. "They let it slip in my interrogation. I don't know who's replaced her, but she's definitely out of the command loop."

Shego frowned and kicked at the bars of her cell.

"Any idea why?"

"I've got a hunch or two, from something Mego said –"

"You saw my brothers?" The green woman's head snapped up.

"... you lost a lot of blood. We needed supplies for a transfusion and they were the best chance of a match. Plus, they had the equipment."

"Damn it, Pumpkin." Shego rested her forehead on the cool iron crossbar of her cell. She did not want to know that she owed her life to her brothers. Of course, some were worse than others. "Please tell me Hego wasn't the best match."

The redhead shook her head.

"It was Mego. He was pretty smug about being the one to save the day."

Shego sighed.

"He'll be insufferable the next time I see him. Hell, they'll all be insufferable. I can't believe you called my brothers. I can't think of anything worse."

"Hey, if I could have given you my blood, I would have done."

"I take it back. That would be worse."

"Hey!"

"Hey nothin', Princess. I may not like my brothers, but at least they didn't just get done kicking my ass." Shego smirked when Kim actually looked shocked. "Don't be so surprised, Pumpkin. I'm proud, but I'm not delusional. At the villa, you definitely put one in your 'W' column. Doesn't mean I can't beat you in the future, just like I beat you in Orlando –"

"I got away!"

"Cupcake, if getting away counts as a win, I'm way ahead on points."

Kim grunted to acknowledge the truth of this.

"There's more bad news." The redhead confessed. Shego sighed.

"Why do I even keep talking to you? You're like Bad News Tinkerbelle. What now? You're out of toilet paper in your cell?"

Kim wrinkled her nose.

"Gross. Also: no. Something else GJ let slip in my interrogation –"

"They not very good at this interrogating business, are they? It seems like you learned more from them than the other way 'round."

Kim, who believed that Will Du had deliberately let the information slip, merely shrugged. It was too dangerous to mention what her suspicions about the agent's actions: the conversation was probably being recorded.

"I was their number one agent for four years running, Shego. I do know a little about interrogation techniques." Kim reminded the green woman. "Now do you want to hear what I learned or not?"

"From the way you're talking, I suspect 'want' is not the right word."

"No, it isn't." Kim acknowledged. "GJ have decided to extradite us to Veligrua."

"Shit." Shego slammed her palm against the bars of her cell. "This is why I always stayed out of political jobs, Princess. Working for mad scientists is much less dangerous. More fun, too."

Kim cocked her head to one side.

"Those old days ... back when I was in high school ... do you ever miss them?"

Shego raised her eyebrows.

"What, the days of being dragged along on Dr D's insane plans to conquer the world? Throwing down with some goodie-two-shoes cheerleader every other day of the week? Getting sat on by giant dogs and zapped into TV shows and all the rest of that crazy shit?"

"Yes, them."

"Abso-frickin-lutely."

Kim smiled, briefly.

"Remember those times we teamed up?"

"... ah hell, I can see what you're doing, Pumpkin." Shego stalked back and forth across the limited space of her cell. "You want to team up again, right? Pool resources to get out of here."

"Well, if GJ is going to insist we're working together, we shouldn't disappoint them." Kim shrugged. "And we'll have more chance of getting out of here if we work together than alone."

Shego kicked her bunk, not wanting to agree but seeing no option. If the truth were told; not that she planned to; the green woman knew she needed Kim more than the redhead needed her. She was still weak after the emergency surgery she'd been through. The thought drew a grim smile out of the pale woman: Global Justice had helped patch her up, just to send her to the butchers in Veligrua. The 'good guys' were crazy, that way.

"Just so long as you know this is a one time deal, Pumpkin." She said at last. "Once we're free, we split up. And if we ever cross paths again, I'll kick your ass same as I always have. Got it?"

Kim rolled her eyes at the threat, but nodded.

"Got it."


Author's Notes: And at last Kim and Shego are ... however tentatively ... on the same page. How will they break out of GJ's clutches? Will their alliance end once they do? Are Kim's suspicions about Will Du correct? Who will be chosen to lead GJ? Will this story ever get to the lesbian nookie?

Some of these questions will be answered next chapter, I promise :)

Also: Rojo makes his reappearance. Muy bueno!
