Flo found a pay phone and placed a person-to-person call to Director Possible herself. There was no time for the chain of command. With all the help and understanding that Kim had given her recently, Flo hoped that she would understand this as well.
"Is everything all right, Flo?" The director asked once the connection was established.
"Dr. Drakken has taken over Go Tower and stolen Team Go's powers," Flo reported simply.
Kim was silent a moment, "Where are you?"
"I'm in Go City," Flo glanced around at the signs. "Corner of DiMaggio and Sullivan."
"Are you O.K?"
"I'm fine," Flo found herself talking faster now. "I was never seen in the tower and got away clean. You have to send a team!"
The Director sounded odd, "I can't."
"What!" Flo was shocked, "What has G.J. spread so thin that - ?"
Kim interrupted, "It's not that, Flo." Her tone sounded worse, "There's an agreement with the state that prevents us from interfering in matters concerning Go City, especially when Team Go is directly involved."
Flo was speechless. "I-I'm on my own?" she finally managed to stammer.
"Flo," Kim said soothingly, "What were you doing at Go Tower?"
"Visiting my uncles," she said weakly.
"So you were well received?" Director Possible asked carefully.
"That's an understatement!" Flo sounded a little stronger. "They'd already reserved a bunch of pink stuff for me," She almost giggled as she said that. "And that was before they knew I was family."
"Flo," the Director sounded rather determined. "Did you join the team?"
"Well," said Flo. "That was never actually discussed." This seemed an odd question in an emergency.
Now Kim sounded disappointed, "There might be someone I can send."
Ed was on the stern of the boat, practicing his air guitar to a recorded collection of metal songs, while Shego was in the cabin taking a nap after she had already gotten her allotted amount of sun.
Shego dreamed of a pristine yard in front of her home.
Ed was placing plastic lawn ornaments in it. It was covered with flamingos. Ed asked her if she liked the new yard.
Shego stepped up to get a closer look at the decorations. She stepped lightly as always, but the birds still saw her coming. As a flock, they flew away. Upset, Shego hid her face in Ed's huge chest.
He held her close and soothed her with his deep voice.
"S'okay, Babe," he cooed. "Look."
A single plastic bird was left. One wing was missing from it. It looked up at her. "It's okay." It said with Kim Possible's voice, "No one's perfect, Shego. Please respond."
Shego opened her eyes.
"This is Global Justice sending a private message to Shego. Shego, please respond." It was the weather alert radio.
"Possible?" Shego was still half asleep.
"Yes, Shego. It's me." said the radio.
"Stay out of my dreams, Kimmie!" Shego growled sleepily.
"No dream, Shego." Kim said, "I have a message for you."
"Like how were talking over a radio that doesn't transmit?" Shego rubbed her eyes.
"You'd be surprised what Global Justice scientists can do, Shego." Standing in the lab, Kim gave Wade a happy wink. "You need to know that Go Tower has been attacked."
"Ah, come on, Princess!" Shego griped. "You can't expect me to jump every time Aviarius knocks on my brothers' door."
"Not him, Shego." Kim said firmly. "Drakken has taken Go Tower and your brothers' powers."
"No," Shego breathed softly.
"One of my best agents stumbled into the situation while on leave," Kim said with a tone that just hinted of 'I told you so.'
"Like I can trust this agent," said Shego reasonably, "or you."
Kim was quiet a moment. Shego started to think the annoyance had gone away.
"Her name's Flo Ming." Kim said firmly. "She plans to handle this alone if she has to."
Shego paused in thought. Hot anger rose inside. "What else do you know?" She immediately regretted asking.
"That she needs you there." Kim said diplomatically. "As soon as possible."
Shego walked out of the cabin as the anger spread to her limbs.
Ed was suddenly hit with twin green blasts while imitating Eddie Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher' Solo. He was knocked overboard into the water.
Shego half-heartedly threw a lifeline over the stern and started the boat engine.
Ed was wet and confused, "Babe?" He saw the boat start up and swam for the tethered preserver. "Shego!" The boat took off with a jerk just as Ed got hold of the ring. "What did I do, Hon?" he yelled up at the boat. "What's wrong?" he called as he held on for his life. "Seriously!"
