No sooner had Shego left the restaurant than her phone began to ring.
"What's the latest, Dr. D?" she answered instinctively. There were few perks to being a third-rate villain, one being the incredibly short list of contacts on one's cell phone, hardly any of whom called on a regular basis. Shego liked this.
"He came, just as I predicted!" Dr. Drakken cackled gleefully on the other end. Shego winced. Even when his plans worked out, her boss was no less annoying.
"The sidekick? Of course he did. I would be pissed if my fiancé cheated on me with her sworn enemy too," Shego smirked. "So, how'd it go over?"
"Just what we expected—he came asking for you. Naturally, I told him that I had no idea where you were, so when he let me know what happened between you and Kim Possible, I pretended to be just as angry as he was," Drakken chuckled to himself. He's getting way too excited over this, Shego thought. "Anyway, after that I asked him if he wanted revenge on you, and he bought it! He has nothing else to do I guess, now that his fiancé has left him." More cackling ensued.
Shego studied her nails. "And our secret weapon?"
"Electronique was able to break down the chemical components of the Attitudinator into liquid form. Quite the cost, but we'll just rob a few more banks once the operation blows over to make up for it. She says that if I slip a few doses in at mealtime, he'll be ready by Friday night. I just have to keep feeding his anger in the meantime."
Shego was impressed. For the first time since she'd begun working for the villain, Drakken actually seemed to know what he was doing. "And my role?" She prompted.
"Just keep winning Kim Possible's trust. Do whatever it takes to convince the girl that you have her best interests at heart. Only five days until Operation IMpossible."
Shego groaned. Just when she was starting to feel like she'd been given a professional villain gig, Drakken had to turn it into another of his cheesy operations.
"Whatever you say, Dr. D." The young woman hung up, glancing at the time on her phone. Only two hours until she was due to pick up Kimmie and she still needed to get a dress. Shego flushed as she imagined the redhead in one of her usual form-fitting outfits, and bit her lip. Who said it was a crime to admit that your sworn enemy is hot as fuck? Operation IMpossible was going to be fun.
