A side note: Happy quarantine. Two chapters as a treat : The next one will be posted a few minutes after this one goes up.
"Someone broke in," was how her dad greeted her when she got back home. Wade had arranged for a member of the UN to fly the machine back to Russia. She and Ron were brought back to their own homes.
"Is everyone okay? Was anything taken?" Kim asked.
"Nothing we've noticed, but this was left for you." He handed Kim a letter. "Did anything happy recently, Kimmie cub?"
"Nothing I didn't already take care of," Kim muttered. She opened the envelope to find a handwritten letter addressed to her. Her dad looked over her shoulder as she read it aloud. "You think you stopped me. You didn't. I have no desire to kill you, but if you get in my way again I will not hesitate to do so. We are watching you, Kim Possible."
"I think you need to stop fighting crime, Kim."
"What? You're joking," Kim said, trying to laugh. Her dad responded with a serious look. "I can't just stop."
"Your mother and I are well aware that this wasn't the safest job, but we knew you could handle it," he explained. "But this could get out of hand. Unless you're sure you can keep our family and yourself safe, you need to stop."
Kim thought for a minute and said, "I think I have an idea."
Wade was able to find Shego's cell number and tell her to come to Kim's house. She was hanging from Kim's window. "There is a front door."
"Yeah, but the window is quicker." She sat on Kim's bed. "What happened?"
Kim handed her the letter. "Someone broke in."
"Same guy who knocked you out?" Shego asked, rereading it.
"I'd assume so," Kim answered.
"I can start staying here at night again."
"I figured. But we need to figure out who's behind this."
"We? I thought I'd just be keeping guard." Before Kim could reply, Shego said, "I don't mind. Teaming up with you wasn't as unbearable as I thought it'd be."
"Gee, thanks."
"Besides," Shego ignored her, "I have an idea. Ricky Jonas."
"Rich recluse. Makes sense. How do we stop him?"
"You're the one who's annoyingly good at foiling plans, princess," Shego replied with a smile.
"Right," Kim said, drumming her fingers on the nightstand next to her bed. She sat next to Shego who shifted over slightly. "I don't think we should break into his mansion again. Too many people, and if we end up being wrong we could get arrested."
"It's not as bad as you think."
"We could let him come to us," Kim offered.
"That could work. We'd need to be prepared, though. And if he broke in when you were on a mission, we should expect something similar on the next call."
"That makes things easy, then. Get Drakken to create a distraction; nothing serious, just something I could send Ron to stop. We stay here."
"Clever," Shego muttered. "Drakken will be easy to convince if I tell him I'll take out Jonas."
Kim yawned. "Glad to be working with you again, Shego."
"Oh god, it's late," Shego said. "Go to sleep, Kimmie. I'll talk to Drakken."
"Thanks Shego." She climbed onto the roof and Kim laid down and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Shego was there in the morning. Kim felt obligated to spare her the embarrassment of dealing with her parents, so she brought a mug of coffee up to her. "Thanks, princess."
"No problem. Did anyone show up?"
"No, but you were only asleep for three hours, I think." Kim sighed and rubbed her eyes. "At least you're gonna be ready or college."
"You should get back to your lair," Kim replied. "Ask Drakken to do something stupid."
"Won't take much convincing," Shego said. "I'll be back here tonight."
Kim watched as she jumped down. She thought for a moment about whether or not she should offer her a ride, but went against it. She'd probably enjoy the chance to break the law, even if it was just her stealing a car.
"Did we get everything worked out?" her dad asked when she came downstairs to get ready for school.
"I think so."
