Chapter 12: Last meeting
(A/N: Sorry its taken me so long to update this one. I get distracted when it comes to righting this story and it takes me forever to get chapters done. So I hope you enjoy this. Many twists coming into the mix.)
Bonnie sat nervously on her bed staring at the phone. She wasn't sure if she could call in or not. After all she was on Betty's watch list. What did that mean anyway? The phone rang and Bonnie jumped in surprise. After a few rings she slowly picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" She said tentatively.
"Hey, how's it going?" Shego's voice replied cheerfully.
Bonnie nearly dropped the phone. "Are you crazy? I'm being watched. They could be tapping my phone right now." Bonnie hissed as she threw herself to the floor so she wouldn't be seen through the window. "Are you trying to get me killed?"
Shego snickered on the other end. "Calm down. I was I just going to give you a heads up. You're about to be kidnapped in about five seconds. Make it believable."
"Wait, what?" Bonnie protested as Shego hung up the phone. She looked around nervously and hung up the phone. Moments later she heard a crash at the door. Heavy footsteps moved through the house. Bonnie gasped and searched around the room. She opened the window but changed her mind and crawled under the bed. Her bedroom door flew off the hinges and onto the floor as two masked men stormed into the room.
"You think she went out the window?" One man asked.
"No." The other man said looking out the window. "She's still here. In fact…" He trailed off and Bonnie tensed up. Suddenly she felt a firm hand clasp around her ankle. She clawed at the floor as she was dragged out from under the bed. She fought hard but found it was only a waste of energy. The struggle didn't last long, when she felt the cool night air she found herself dropped into the trunk of a car. As she felt the car lurch forward she cursed her luck. Had Betty been tapping her phone? Had she been discovered already? Was she going to suffer the same as other spies?
She was surprised when she felt a pair of hands jerk her backward and throw her into a seat in the car. She began to panic and struggle at the turn of events. She calmed down when she finally saw Shego sitting across from her, smirking at her panic.
"When I told you to make it believable I meant until they throw you in the trunk. All that flailing around in here isn't necessary." Shego said shaking her head.
Bonnie blushed. "I told you I'm being watched. What are you thinking showing up here like this? And where is Kim?"
"Oh I know you're being watched."
Bonnie pursed her lips. "You didn't tell me where Kim is."
Shego sighed. "I wish I could tell you that. But that's information only I know. I can't let her location get out until she's back. Until then I can only tell you that she is not up to appearances right now. But not to worry, I'm still here and I'll make sure you get back to the palace when this is over. Safe and sound, you have my word. Now while we have the time, tell what you know so far."
"I met the leader. Her name is Betty Director. Does the name mean anything to you?"
Shego's face darkened. "Oh I know that name well. You see Betty Director used to run an organization called Global Justice. They used to pick up the slack for Kimmie back in day. It was like a billion dollar back up plan. Anyway, when I started the whole mass corporate takeover I had one obstacle in my way. I couldn't just take over the world, not with G.J butting in every step of the way. So I took over and dismantled the whole thing. That never sat well with Betty and she said she would get her revenge. Of course I didn't think she would actually do it. She took forever to do anything." Shego shrugged off that last part. Bonnie raised a brow.
"So why am I here?" Bonnie asked after a long silence.
Shego rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not this little stunt is really so I can help you out. I know they are going to want you back. You're chalk full of juicy information, in fact that house you're living in has all sorts of little bits of information; all of it false of course but, enough to make their mouths water. And you Bon-Bon are the main course. By the time they get you back they'll be dying to hear what you have to say.
However, when they get you back they are going to have you under lock and key so this was the only time I could get the information I need from you directly." Gun shots could be heard nearby and Shego looked over her shoulder. She cursed under her breath and turned back to Bonnie. "Looks like our little chat is going to be cut short."
Bonnie's eyes widened. "Well, what if they find me with you?"
Shego shrugged. "Well should that happen they would kill me and torture you until they found out where Kim is. Which sadly you don't know, so they would just kill you. So as you can see it's in both of our best interests if you and I aren't seen together."
Bonnie's jaw dropped. Shego shook her head. "You'll be fine. You act like I don't like you enough to keep you alive." She said over the gun shots. "You can swim right?"
Before Bonnie could answer the car swerved and crashed through a wall. The two felt weightless as the car flew through the air, Bonnie couldn't help but wonder if this was the sensation Kim had loved so much about free falling. The thought didn't last long as the car hit the water and Bonnie was slammed into Shego.
Shego protectively held onto the woman as they crashed to the floor. Bonnie groaned in pain and Shego gasped for air.
"Are you ready?" Shego asked after she caught her breath.
Bonnie shook her head. "They're going to find out."
"It's the last thing that will happen." Shego assured her as she kicked out the window. Water rushed in around them. "I really wish you would have more faith in me." She said before cold water engulfed them. She pulled Bonnie out through the window and pushed her toward the surface. Bonnie swam upward never looking back and when she broke the surface. She looked around her but Shego was nowhere in sight. Before she could call out to her she felt herself being pulled out of the water and tossed to the hard floor of a boat. She looked up and saw a shadowy figure standing over her.
"Good to see we haven't lost you yet." A familiar voice stated. Bonnie pushed the wet hair out of her face. The figure reached down and pulled her to her feet.
"I'm glad to see your back." Bonnie said with a smile.
The figure handed her a towel. "I told you I would be back. You worry too much. Now get down below, I have to get us out of here before those resistance fools start searching for you."
