Chapter 8
Kim awoke to find herself, not in the hospital, but in a dark alley. A shadowy figure sat quietly next to her. Kim couldn't see who it was but they were female. This could be told from the long hair that gently brushed Kim's arm.
"Where... where am I?" realization struck her. "Where's Ron?"
Calm down, Kimmie." said a familiar voice.
"SHEGO!" Kim yelled, trying and failing to jump to her feet. She was incredibly tired for some reason.
"Calm down." Shego said, getting up. She was being serious and couldn't seem to look her foe in the eye. "I want to help."
"Help with what?" Kim snapped. She wasn't in a very good place right now, being out of commission in the presence of her arch nemesis.
"Stop them..." Shego trailed. She was looking straight ahead, leaving Kim to stare at her back while she spoke.
"Who?" Kim was very confused. Why would her arch enemy want to help and, most importantly, with what?
"The mafia..." Shego trailed yet again. She finally turned to Kim, still avoiding eye contact.
"What in the world are you talking about?"
Shego told Kim the story. From the anonymous meeting to the suitcase full of cash. everything went into Kim's ear, but she couldn't believe it.
"So the mafia attacked Ron?" Kim asked quietly. "Why?"
"I guess they wanted to get everyone out of their way. They needed a clear path to you." Shego replied.
"Why are you telling me this?" Kim wanted to know why her enemy would want to help her.
"When I asked Drakken to fill me in on the details, he said that they'd only be after you. No one else would get hurt. I know it sounds crazy but that is what I really wanted. Just for you to die and the world to keep spinning."
"Then why are you here." Kim was getting irritated with this routine.
"I have been thinking a lot about that..." Shego said, thoughtfully. "I guess it just didn't seem fair. You're only a teen and it doesn't seem right to kill you. Getting you out of the way is more suitable."
Kim stared at the ground. 'Shego's dancing around the main thing here,' she thought. 'She's not telling the truth.' "I don't believe you." Kim announced.
Shego sighed. She knew that this was what was going to happen. "You should."
"Why?" Kim asked, using the word that was most frequently used in the conversation.
"I'm your only hope."
Kim nodded in a defeated sort of way. Shego was right. Even if this was just a sabotage, Kim was going to get killed either way. No one escaped the mafia. "Alright. I accept."
Shego smiled. "Thanks. I really feel that I need to do this." She helped Kim up and they started to walk away together, as a team, to make a plan.
Shego was thinking about what she was doing the whole way back to Kim's house. 'I can't believe I'm actually helping my worst enemy.' This was haunting her. Had she gone soft? What was the deal?
"Shego," Kim asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I already told you." Shego snapped.
"No you didn't. you gave the bulk of the idea but never the complete deal."
Shego groaned. There wasn't any other way out of this, and she had really looked for one. "I... I..."
"What?" Kim pushed.
"I hate the mafia!" Shego started to sob.
"Why are you crying, Shego?" Kim asked. She was surprised to see that she was concerned for her nemesis.
Shego calmed down after a while and responded. "When I was a little girl," she began, "My family and I were called to stop a robbery. My parents told us to stay home and they went out to stop the bad guys. The men who were robbing the bank were members of the mafia. They... They killed my parents!" Shego broke down into heavy sobs, hating herself for showing weakness to her enemy. "When I heard that they shot Ron, I realized that you must have felt like I did and came to help."
Kim was touched by her foe. A tear even came to her eye as she watched Shego cry out her hatred and sadness. "Is that why you went evil?"
"No. I became evil to try and cope with my anger." Shego sobbed.
Kim patted Shego on the shoulder. "You never found the killers?"
"No... Ever since that day, I've hated the mafia. I'd give anything to get my parents back..." Shego trailed and looked away.
"Don't worry, we'll get these guys and find who killed your parents."
Shego was lifted by this. "Thanks, Kim."
They then began their planning to stop the hit team after Kim.
