Chapter 19: I'm the reason you do so well

A woman lay uncomfortably perched in his tree looking out over the frozen farm. She had set up his post hours ago and boredom soon followed. She never noticed the figure directly above her, or the four intruders on the property. Two lying in the snow on the hill across from her, and two making their way up the side of the road leading to the farm house where a certain high level prisoner was being held.

That prisoner was the whole reason she was stuck in this tree in the first place, as well as a few other snipers hidden on the farm land. She began to wonder why the security was so heavy for just one prisoner. High level or not this seemed to be over board in her opinion. She had heard rumors that the prisoner was one of the top advisers to the world's rulers, and that a hell storm would rain down on them if they had found out where the prisoner was being held.

She didn't doubt that Kim and Shego could bring armies straight to their door step. What she doubted was the prisoner being one of their advisers. Those people were always heavily guarded, and if she wasn't mistaken, trained to fight in just about any situation. You couldn't just walk up and kidnap one of these people, it just wasn't possible.

"Psst." She heard from above her. She turned to her side to look up and find herself face to face with a set of dark green eyes surrounded by green hued skin. The woman froze in terror.

"I know what you're thinking." Shego said with a smile. "And I am just as disappointed with the security." The woman hurried to reach the hand gun she kept strapped to her hip and found the holster empty. Shego waved the gun in the woman's face. She never even felt it being taken.

"Don't feel bad." Shego said noticing her surprise. "I'll make this real quick. You won't feel a thing."

In a matter of seconds she reached out and broke the woman's neck, Shego closed her eyes in reaction to the sound. As the woman went limp Shego lifted her off her perch and slowly lowered her to the ground. She shook her head and stared down at the lifeless body in the snow. She didn't look any older than twenty.

Shego brushed aside her pity and turned he attention to the rifle still set up in the tree limb. "Not bad. This one must have been a pro." She said to herself as she lay down to look through the scope. She smiled to herself as she saw Bonnie digging through the snow on the hill. Monique lay next to her. "Sneaky little…you must think you're clever."

She turned began searching the horizon and saw Kim and a large man trudging up the road. "Well, well Kimmie is here for the party. Wonder who she brought with her." Shego scowled at the burly man as he walked along side Kim. She turned her attention back to Bonnie and Monique on the hill. The two seemed to be staring right at her. Neither of them could see the glint of light in the trees behind them. Shego squeezed the trigger and saw as another sniper fell from the trees. Bonnie and Monique didn't seem to hear the noise over their own conversation.

Shego sighed at their lack of observation. She turned her attention back to Kim and the man on the side of the road. They seemed to be headed toward the tree line; she could see three cars headed up the road. She turned her attention back to Bonnie and Monique who had disappeared behind the hill. Shego turned back to the cars on the road. She caught a glimpse of Monique throwing something into the road and rushing back toward the trees.

She smiled to herself as the last car pulled over to the side of the road. She watched the drivers argue about what to do. Then her smile broadened as she saw Betty Director climb out of one of the cars. She resisted the urge to squeeze the trigger, as much as she wanted to end the woman's rain she knew she had to wait. She watched as the situation melt away as the third car was left alone, and Monique come in to take out the driver and his passengers.

"Impressive." She said to herself as she watched Monique crawl out from under the car. Her smile faded when she saw the man who had arrived with Kim approaching from behind. She prepared to squeeze the trigger again until she saw Kim hurry to stop him. He seemed to listen to her as he lowered his gun. He had no idea how lucky he was.

She watched the group converse for some time before Bonnie and Kim parted the group. Monique stayed and assisted the man with the car before signaling to Kim and Bonnie. She laughed as Bonnie came up behind the man guarding the silo and knocked him out with the butt of his own gun. The security really was a joke.

The plan went underway quickly; Monique and the man had pushed the car further up the road toward the farm house. Then ran toward the trees. The car suddenly blew up, and the group slipped into the silo. As guards rushed to put out the fire from the car Shego took the time to shot. Every man fell before any of them could tell what was happening. No one in the farm house seemed to notice the commotion.

Shego lay in wait for a long while before she saw the front door fly open. She watched as Betty Director limped out of the house. She hurried to one of the cars. Shego chuckled as she shot out the tires on both cars. Betty hurried away from the scene and began limping down the road toward the trees. Shego held back on her shot for a moment, she saw Kim in the doorway.

She could hear Kim scream Betty's name. As Betty turned Shego took aim and fired. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Betty fold into herself and hit the ground. She pulled out her phone and impatiently dialed a number.

"They're going to need a ride back Wade." She said as she began climbing down. "Let's just keep this one between us ok?"
