Shego finally managed to coax Kim to sit beside her by sliding over a little. Kim snuffled again and snuggled under her arm laying her head on Shego's chest with a contented sigh.
“So Dr. Just how many of these cases are there for Kimmie and me?”
Anne shrugged. “I don't know about you, but GJ and the Pentagon have a filing cabinet right next to the nuclear attack plans full of cases about Kim. I lost count at about 150. Been that way once she hit ten years old. You ever wonder why we live in the middle of nowhere, comparatively, and we have exactly 3 neighbors including your house up the hill in the back?”
Shego winced…wondering how long they had known that was one of her safe houses. Still it didn't matter now.
“So what is case Zulu?”
Anne looked over at Shego and gave her a shark grin…which startled Shego to no end.
“Case Zulu is a file of scenarios where Kimmie is in love. Not the normal high school hormones love or the peer pressure to date love, but love love. By now, GJ will have called up two stages of reserve agents for accelerated re-training and have blanketed this and the surrounding states in a reconnaissance web so tight that Dr. Director will be getting counts of dog farts. The Pentagon will have moved the defcon indicator up and the national guard is probably on alert. FEMA agents are already en route to the state as well as notices to emergency officials in Middleton, Upperton, and Lowerton. Last time a case Zulu was called was during that moodulator incident. They revised their force estimates up after seeing what damage Kim could do after that one. I don't know if there's a file in Zulu if it were you she fell in love with. I'd expect they have one by now though.”
Shego looked down at Kim drowsing in her arms and winced again. Sure can pick ‘em can't you Shego. Then she hugged her tighter. Damn straight.
She sighed. Time to take the plunge. She gently poked Kim. “Time to go into it Pumpkin. She needs to know.”
Kim snuggled closer to Shego. Then she looked up and smiled. She reached up with both hands and pulled Shego into a kiss.
Shego thought her hair was standing up as Kim's lips met hers and her tongue pushed its way into her mouth. Shego responded in kind. After about a minute, Kim broke off and smiled up at Shego…who felt her heart turn over twice in her chest.
Kim turned to look at her mother and cocked her head.
“Would you please deactivate the remainder of the listening and recording devices and tell GJ to mind their own business please and leave?”
Shego watched in somewhat of a daze as surprise followed by shock rippled across the face of Kim's mother. She winced again. Remind me to shout from the highest mountains to never never piss this family off.
Anne stared at her daughter. Kim stared back. The temperature of the room seemed to be rising and Shego could almost feel the barometric pressure increasing. She was about to get up when Kim’s hand on her shoulder stopped her.
Kim cocked her head to the other side and gave her mother an open toothed grin.
“I could always just do it myself, you know. I thought it would be easier if you did it though.”
Anne blanched. She couldn't be serious. She had made a solemn vow to never do that again. Made her promise to her Nana…the one person who could and did make Kim stick to her word no matter what. The fact that she would even consider threatening her with it made the hairs on the back of her neck stand straight out. Case Zulu…riiight. What GJ didn't know wouldn't hurt them…uh huh. God help us all if she goes back on her word to Nana Possible.
Shego watched Dr. Possible closely…not yet understanding what was going on at all. Not used to being second chair, she started to say something but stopped when Kim's hand squeezed her shoulder and her fingers began to massage her neck. Whatever was going on, she was rapidly losing control of her composure (and libido) as she began to lean into Kim's fingers.
Anne watched as her daughter began began massaging Shego's neck and Shego's reaction. Her eyes widened and she looked up into Kim's face…a face of utter peace and contentment. She got up out of her seat and walked over to the fireplace and did something. The lights flickered and she calmly sat back down, pulling the Kimmunicator out once again.
beep beep beep-beep
Kim arched her eyebrow as her mother activated the device.
“Anne, everything okay in there?” came the tinny voice of Dr. Director.
Kim held out her hand and her mother handed over the Kimmunicator. She turned it around to look at Dr. Director's tiny image.
“Hello Betty. You need to move your men out of surveillance range immediately. That includes all eleven of the specfor you have stationed around the cabin. They need to take their gear with them or destroy it. Either way you need to be gone in 15 minutes. I promise you that I will not leave until my mother is satisfied everything is okay and she gives you the all clear. Is this acceptable?”
Dr. (Betty) Director twitched in her chair. There weren't eleven with gear, there were only two…she mentally shrugged…chalk another one up to the unstoppable Kim Possible. She wasn't used to taking orders, much less from a teenager. But she had just spent the last hour reviewing the Zulu folder on Kim+Shego and hadn’t been surprised when Wade had contacted her. Only two other people on the planet outside of herself and the original planners (locked away so deep they would never again see the light of day) knew what was in that file…the President and Dr. Anne Possible. The only threats considered marginally higher were an impending supernova of the Sun or imminent alien invasion…and they had better plans for those contingencies. She ground her teeth, quietly.
“As you wish Ms. Possible. I understand…”
Kim snarled “You understand NOTHING. I cannot forget that European hell you left me in to rot. You will not eavesdrop on me ever again. Not after that…I should've listened to Nana. Is. That. Acceptable?”
Betty visibly winced when Kim mentioned Nana Possible. Her forced retirement from active service had not gone very well and it appeared that Kim had inherited the qualities that made her an excellent field operative in her day.
“Absolutely acceptable. My agents will be gone in ten minutes.”
“Thank you Dr. Director. It was nice talking to you again. I'm going to shut off the Kimmunicator now so you won't be tempted to access the passive systems. I would appreciate if you could look in on my father to make sure he's not worried, please and thank you.” Kim hit the disconnect button, slid the switch to off, and then proceeded to remove the battery…tossing the remains onto the floor next to the chair.
She pulled her fingers away from Shego's neck and buried her head under Shego's chin and began making apology noises.
“That's all right Princess. Keep sticking it to them.”
After a few minutes of this, Kim looked back over to her mother and cocked her head again.
Anne had defeat written in every line of her. She could feel it.
