Chapter 6: The Search is On:
Nebraska General: Exam Room:
Kim, Anne, and Tabitha all stared at the bed in disbelief. Where did Shego run off to, and more importantly, how did she leave without anyone noticing. Quickly recovering from her shock, Tabitha paged the hospital staff.
"Code yellow. I repeat we have a code yellow."
"Copy that, Nurse Albertson, beginning lockdown and search."
Tabitha then pocketed her pager, and looked at Anne and Kim.
"Come on, you two can help with the search."
They all then exited the room, and began their search.
Go Tower:
Team Go was in their fortress of justice. Hego and Wego 2 were arguing about the placement of the star on their Christmas tree.
"It's too far to the left, you need to move it more to the right."
Wego 2's voice was demanding. Hego rolled his eyes at his brother. He had been standing on a ladder, adjusting that damn star for a good hour and a half, and he was getting fed up with it.
"The star is fine right where it is."
He was clear by the tone in his voice, that Hego was getting annoyed. Wego 2 stomped his foot, and crossed his arms, looking visibly upset. The star had to be perfect, it just had to be.
"You idiot, it's not fine where it is. It's way too crooked. It has to be perfect, what if she visits this year?"
The she that he was referring to was none other than, Shego. Every year he wrote her a letter asking her to come visit for the holidays, and every year she never showed. But just in case she did show this year he wanted the star on the tree to be perfect. The star had always been her favorite part of the tree. Hego climbed down the ladder and faced his brother.
"You know she's not coming, right? She never comes. She doesn't celebrate Christmas anyway, not since, well you know."
Wego 2 hated it when Hego was right, but he had a point. Shego never visited, and she sure as hell didn't celebrate Christmas, not after what she went through. He opened his mouth to respond to what Hego had said, but stopped when he saw Mego and Wego 1 enter the room.
"Are you guys still arguing about the star?"
Mego knew that when it came to the Christmas star, his brothers could argue about the way it looks for hours. Hego just sighed.
"No, we're done. Come on let's go see if we have any alerts."
They all agreed on the idea, and headed into the meeting room.
When they got there, they saw they had someone trying to call them, so Wego 1 rushed over and quickly answered it. When he did, Kim Possible's face quickly filled the screen.
"Hey Wego, is the rest of Team Go around?"
Hearing that they were being asked about, the rest of the team quickly came into view.
"We're all here, Kim, what's up?"
Wego 1 was giving Kim, his full attention. Kim wasn't sure how to tell them the news, but figured that if they knew, then they could help find Shego.
"Your sister is missing. She snuck out of Nebraska General about an hour ago."
Team Go all looked at Kim, with wide eyes. Their sister was missing, from a hospital.
"Why was she in the hospital?"
Mego had a look of concern, on his face.
"She originally went in for alcohol poisoning, but then she had to have an electrocardiogram done. It was discovered that her powers are attacking her heart, and breaking it down. She only has a week left, if she doesn't use her powers. The nurse said that there is a way to save her, but the only way to do it would be to take away her powers. She left sometime after that."
Team Go couldn't believe what they had just heard. Their sister was dying, and she was nowhere to be found. Just then, Hego remembered something. Whenever Shego got really upset, or afraid, there was one place she'd always go.
"Kim, meet us in Go City, at the corner of 25th and Ash."
"Okay."
Kim then disconnected the call. After the call ended Team Go headed out to their destination, and awaited Kim's arrival.
Nebraska General:
Kim was standing outside the hospital, awaiting her ride. She had already contacted Wade, and given him the details. Now she was just waiting for Ron and Rufus to show up. After about an hour of searching around the hospital it was decided that Shego was no longer in the building, and possibly no longer in the state. So, Kim contacted Team Go for help, and Tabitha went to check on some of her other patients. Anne had taken a cab back to Middleton, as she was needed at the hospital. After about 20 minutes the sloth pulled up to the front entrance, and Ron and Rufus stepped out. Kim walked over, and hugged her long time friend.
"Hey Ron, it's good to see you."
"You too, KP, come on let's go find us a villainess."
After the two finished hugging, they hopped into the sloth and headed for their destination.
Go City:
The sloth stopped at 25th and Ash. They got out of the car, and Ron took in his surroundings, he became stricken with fear.
"Uh, KP, wh-why are we at a cemetery?"
Ron's voice, was shaking.
"Eek, ghost!"
Rufus squeaked, with fright, and then dove into the pocket of Ron's pants, for protection. Kim just shook her head at them.
"We're here because it's where Hego asked us to meet him, and the rest of Team Go. Now come on, they're right over there."
When Team Possible got up to Team Go, Hego spoke.
"Hello Kim, Ron. If my hunch is correct Shego should be just over this hill."
They all then began the long trek up the hill, Ron complained along the way about the height of it. When they finally reached the top, Ron fell to his knees in exhaustion.
"Why couldn't she have just stayed at the bottom of the hill?"
"Because it's not where our parents are buried."
Wego 1 gave Ron a hard glare.
"You're parents?"
Kim's voice was barely above a whisper.
"Yep, let's go, she might still be there."
Wego 2 then headed over to his parents' graves. Everyone else quickly followed suit.
When they got there, they saw a figure lying down in between the two graves. Everyone immediately recognized the figure as Shego, and they rushed over to her.
"Is she alright?"
Kim didn't even bother trying to hide the worry in her voice. Hego bent down, and checked his little sister's pulse. He sighed in relief when he felt one.
"She's fine, she's just sleeping."
Hego then picked up Shego, and looked at her face. It was clear that she had been crying pretty hard, and had passed out as a result of it. Mego walked over to the pair, and tried to wake up Shego.
"Psst, Shego. Hey Shego, wake up. Wake up, or else I'm gonna eat your cereal."
This got the rest of Team Go laughing. They all knew how Shego got whenever somebody touched her cereal.
"Don't ye be touchin' me Lucky Charms."
Shego mumbled, before opening her eyes. When she saw where she was, and who was with her, she became confused.
"How'd you guys find me here?"
Hego set her down before, answering.
"You always come here when you're really upset, or angry about something."
Kim then walked over, and pulled Shego into hug, surprising everyone, including herself. She then pulled back from the hug, and looked into Shego's eyes, as if they held the answers to the questions running through her mind.
"Do you have any idea how worried you made me. It's a good thing your brothers were able to help me track you down."
Kim was angry, and it showed in her voice. Shego just stood there, not really sure what to say. She had expected Kim to come after her, but she didn't expect her to be worried, nor did she expect the hug.
"I just wanted a place to think."
"Think about what? Shego, you've been hiding something for the past few days now. I want to help, but I can't if I don't know what the problem is."
Kim was beginning to tire of all this mystery surrounding Shego.
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into, Possible, so just stay out of it."
Shego's voice dripped with venom, but Kim wasn't going to stand down.
"You're right, I don't know what I'm getting myself into. But, you need my help. Please, just let me help you."
Kim was seriously considering pulling out her infamous puppy dog pout at this point.
Shego turned to leave. Kim already knew she didn't want her help, so why should she repeat herself? But before she could get away, Kim grabbed her by the arm. Shego lit up her hand, the green flames roaring with life.
"Unless you only wanna have one hand, I suggest you let go of me."
Shego's voice was filled with anger, but Kim wasn't backing down.
"I'll let go of you when you tell me why you drank so much, and why you didn't want to sleep."
Shego jerked away, her hands blazing in anger, and her eyes seemingly staring into Kim's very soul.
"You really wanna know why I drank so much and why I won't sleep? Fine I'll tell you. I nearly drank myself to death and won't sleep, because I...hate...Christmas!"
As she roared out that last word she shot a blast of plasma to the ground. When the dust finally cleared, Shego was nowhere to be found.
"Not again!"
Kim yelled, in exasperation.
