Cop: "DO YOU OWN THESE SHOWS? DO YOU?"
Me: "… no sir I do not"
Dex. 1: Mac &Bloo
"You! You there! Mac Marquette!"
Mac groaned, he had just finished his last final and was walking back to his clunker –which had yet another transmission problem. He had been working Double shifts at McDonalds and his mom's bank for three weeks and was completely exhausted. Frankly this red Headed guy in a lab coat was probably not good news and the fact that he had Bloo with him pretty much confirmed it.
"Listen man whatever Bloo did I'm sorry, I'll pay for it."
"What? No, my company is trying to move into toys and Bloo would be perfect way to start. He's cute, fun, and hysterical. Considering that you're his creator and owner I find it prudent to ask for his image rights and offer you a job in toy development."
Ok maybe he had been wrong but still…
"Ok what's the catch and what's the company?"
"No catch I'd pay $50K for the image rights and that would also be your starting salary."
"You still haven't answered what the company."
The man chuckled "My ego betrays me, I had expected you to recognize me. I am Dexter Hanson the company I own and run is Dex. Co. "
Mac's jaw dropped this was the youngest billion air on the face of the planet and Dex. Co. was the most profitable company currently in existence.
"Seriously? And you'll pay $50K just to use Bloo's image." Best day EVER.
3 Years Later
Mac sat in his top-floor office daydreaming. Life was good. In the last three years he had moved past development eventually taking over the entire toy bracket. Dexter had eventually even let him make a subsidiary toy company which he called Bloo Industries. His salary had increased tenfold. He had finally gotten the guts to ask Goo out and they had been steadily dating over the past couple. Tonight he was planning to ask her to marry him. As for Bloo, he was a celebrity and his huge ego finally had some justification.
He left and was walking towards his car when he passed an alley a shadow moved behind him and a bag went over his head.
Neutron Industries. Ch.1
"Was the kidnapping successful?" Jimmy asked into a phone. He hadn't wanted to do it but Dexter had forced his hand.
"Yes went off without a hitch." The man on the other end replied.
That was good he was going to take Dexter's assets one at a time starting with the man's protégé. Finishing with his girlfriend.
