Since Ron didn't know the city he had trouble getting to his first location. On his way to the second location he managed to get lost completely. He put in a call to the Tower for help and George advised him to stay at his current location and wait for the police to send help. A black-and-white pulled up seven minutes later and an officer rolled down the window, “You the guy from out of town helping Team Go?”
“That's me.”
“Climb in, tell us where you want to go.”
Shego examined the list of addresses Mego had given her. She badly wanted to find a way to arrange them in a better order, but had to admit she couldn't. “Well, I've been out of the city for years,” she finally told herself. She didn't mind having the largest number of sites.
Mego didn't feel confident about any of the locations on his list. He wanted a place that screamed 'hideout' or 'villain's lair.' He hoped they found Hego soon because I wasn't sure how long his strength would last and Shego was clearly showing strain.
Back in the Tower George and the Alchemist eyed each other, “I figure you know I'm not really a retired superhero.”
“Yeah. They seem like good kids.”
“You got kids?”
“Two, a boy and a girl.”
“What are they like?”
“I think he's doing okay. I'm worried about the guys she runs around with.”
“At least she's running around with guys.”
“What? Shego? … Really? Not that redhead who was here.”
“Kim, yes. They seem to be having a fight at the moment.”
“That's for sure.”
“I guess we should be grateful. Kim has really helped Shego turn her life around, she's helping her get her life back together after years in crime--”
“Wait, that was really Shego who was wanted by the police?”
“Yeah.”
“Damn. After those years with her on Team Go I just couldn't believe it was really her.”
“It was,” George sighed. “And I'm really grateful to Kim for bringing her back to us… It just doesn't seem right.”
“You and the missus wanting grandkids?”
George chuckled, “No, that's not exactly the problem.”
There were a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, then the Alchemist spoke. “We should really look at those names they left us -- even if there's not much chance Obtinus is in there. Hellpike is nasty. The rest of us just wanted to rule the world or hold the city hostage for ransom. He really liked to hurt people. It was why I finally quit.”
“Says the man who turned my son into a rabbit.”
“It wore off, didn't it?”
“He's never eaten lettuce since that day.”
“Really? That was a side effect I didn't expect.”
The two turned to the list Shego had left them and began reading death certificates and obituaries closely.
