Chapter 11
The moment in time was suspended as Kim reached for the handle on the door. Feeling as though weightless, she quickly pulled on the handle and grabbed at Shego.
"What the..." Kim heard as she and Shego rolled down the road. The car skidded to a stop about 50 feet away from the incident.
"Shego?" Kim questioned, painfully getting up. "You okay?"
A groan was the reply. "I think I broke something..." Shego held her ankle, delicately. it looked twisted and was beginning to swell.
"We have to get out of here!" Kim ecstatically stated as realization took over. The men had stepped from the car and were hurrying over to the two women.
"You... You FUCKERS!" exclaimed Tony. "You're dead!"
Frankie collected his gun and added, "Tony, calm remember? This is it. Right here."
Tony straightened and slowed his pace to a walk. he was supposed to be formal, not off the hook. He carefully obtained his own gun from the inside of his suit's jacket-pocket. He slowly aimed it at the two targets as he approached.
Kim sighed. It was over. Their plan had failed because of Shego's injury. All of a sudden, a shadow overcame her. She looked up to see Shego standing with her back towards her face.
"Kim, go." Shego said shortly. She was putting most of her weight on her unhurt ankle. "I'll take these goons."
Tony found this amusing and started to laugh. "What you gonna do, huh? Bake me a poisonous cake?"
Shego growled but kept a straight face. "You'd be dumb enough to eat it!"
Tony growled while Frankie giggled to himself. "Got you there, Tony." he said with obvious amusement.
"Shut up!" He yelled to his counter-part. He then turned toward Shego and raised his gun. Shego ignited her hands and threw off her coat. "Hey.. You look familiar..." Tony trailed.
"Good one, can you count to ten as well?" Shego cooed. When she saw the thoughtful face her supposed assassin, she continued, "I was with Drakken when you two negotiated the terms about this hit?" she hinted.
"No... I've seen you somewhere else..." he snapped his fingers as though the answer was obvious the whole time. "I know, you got them glowing hands like the two we whacked during a bank robbery back in Go City."
Frankie's face lit up. "Yeah I remember those two losers. we capped 'em as soon as they came in and booked with the cash."
Kim gasped as she understood what the two hit-men were talking about. They were the one's who had killed Shego's parents. Kim got up to lunge at the men but was stopped by a black-and-green arm.
"Kim." Shego fumed, "These guys are mine!" she exclaimed while throwing herself at the two unsuspecting men. she was so furious with them. They were the reason why she grew up most of her life without parents. They were why she was evil. It was all them.
Shego started to attack the men. She ignored the intense pain in her ankle and pounded Frankie in the face. He was getting really bloody when Tony stepped up to Shego's side. Shego moved Frankie into the path between her and the bullet just in time. It entered his throat and killed him instantly. Shego threw the lump of dead-weight to the side and closed in on Tony.
"Back off, lady!" he ordered with much fear in his voice.
"Did you kill my parents?" she questioned quietly.
"I said 'back off!'" Tony repeated.
"Did you kill my parents?" Shego restated as she narrowed the gap between her and the one she hated so dearly.
Tony's confidence boosted as he reloaded his gun. "Yeah, I did. What you gonna do about it?" he said, aiming the gun at Shego.
Shego roared and jumped at Tony. A randomly fired bullet was fired and connected with Shego's arm. She didn't even flinch because of her anger and fury fueling her.
Tony gasped loudly as her hand met his chin and sent him sprawling over a long distance. "You ruined my life!" Shego yelled at the cowering man.
"Don't kill me!" he whimpered. "I'll do anything!"
"Then DIE!" Shego yelled. She picked up Tony and lighted her hands. "This is for my mom!" she exclaimed as she gave him a blow to an unmentionable area. "This is for my dad!" she roared as she delivered a blow to his face that would have knocked him threw a tree, but he stayed stationery from Shego's grip. "And this is for Kim!" She connected a kick into his gut and let him go.
"Please stop!" he gasped.
"One more..." growled Shego. Her ignited hands brought his face up to hers. "This is for all that you've done to me when you killed my parents." She drew back a hand and threw it forward. Tony began a scream, but was cut short when Shego shoved her hand threw him. She let him drop to the ground and walked away. she wanted him to die alone.
Shego met back up with Kim. She had tears in her eyes of both sadness and joy. "Shego, what's the matter?" Kim questioned. she was still stunned that Shego had just killed two people.
Shego allowed tears to run along the sides of her face. She looked at Kim and smiled as best she could but her mouth was trembling. "My parents... weren't losers.." she said weakly. She fainted and Kim caught her inches from the ground.
"I know." Kim cooed. "Just look at their daughter." she smiled as she picked up shego and slung her over her shoulder. she wanted to get Shego away from the scene of the crime so as to not go to jail for murder.
Shego awoke in Drakken's lair. 'What happened?' she thought. After trying to get up and feeling a stab of pain in her arm, she remembered. She looked over and saw that Drakken was sitting, sleeping actually, in a chair by her bed. he had cared for her wounds and other needs for the night before and was exhausted.
"Dr. D?" Shego questioned, gently shaking the doctor.
"Ahh, Shego!" he piped upon seeing his cohort in evil awaken. "How are you?"
"A little sore, but okay." Shego glanced around the room. "Where's Kim?"
Drakken looked puzzled. "Why would you call her Kim, and why would she be her?"
Shego realized that Kim hadn't given drakken the down-low on the mafia hit. This was the original plan. Shego would help Kim and that would be it. No one else would know about it except for themselves. Shego realized how close she had come to revealing their secret.
"Never mind, I must be worse off than I thought. See ya Dr. D." Shego pushed while ushering the doctor out of the door.
"But Shego I-" Drakken never finished as the door was slammed quickly behind him. "What has gotten into her?"
Shego lay down to sleep. She was home now and all was well. The hit was done and over with. Drakken had told her earlier that if a week had passed an Kim was still alive, he'd call off the whole thing. Soon, he would figure out that seven days had passed and make a call to the family boss telling him to keep the money but call off the hit. Drakken didn't want to be in ties with the mafia any longer than that or they'd start charging him more.
Shego lie happily in her bed. She drifted off into an enchanting sleep where she was with her parents, who were alive and well, again...
