A New Found Enemy
Chapter 3: Infiltration
((One Month Later))
"Come on! She'll be here any minute!" Edith said as everyone scrambled around the house, cleaning and cooking.
Today was the day that Margo was coming home for her Winter break and everyone was, to say the least, excited.
Seeing her car pull up in the driveway, he felt himself suddenly become giddy. Agnes, getting tired stopped to look out the window.
Her brown eyes dilated as she saw her sister's car pulling into their driveway.
"She's here everyone!" she announced happily.
The scrambling sped up and everyone crowded around the window, watching as Margo got out of her car, pulling her lone suitcase behind her.
When she began heading towards the house, she looked up, breaking into a wide smile.
She quickened her pace as Edith and Agnes ran to greet their older sister.
Margo laughed,
"Wow! It feels like such a long time since I've seen you guys!" she said, looking up at their home with new eyes.
"Well, it feels like forever since you've been gone!" Edith retorted, "Now come on!"
She pulled her sister by the sweater and practically yanked her through the doorway.
Inside, Gru watched the girls and smiled.
Edith let her go and Margo ran over to him, as if she was a little girl again, her arms wide open.
"Hi, Daddy." She said.
He laughed. It was good to feel her in his arms again. All three kittens were back home and safe where they belonged.
"Welcome home, keetin." He said tenderly, resting his head on top of hers, "How was school, err…college?"
He still couldn't believe that she wasn't a little girl any more… no longer in high school.
College…oh boy…
Margo looked up at him,
"It's fantastic, Dad." She said, letting him go, "But it's even better to be home."
She went to her suitcase.
"But it gets better." She said, grinning, "I brought presents!"
There was a loud cheer as a swarm of yellow at her feet.
"Presents? Presents?" the minions chirped like mutant canaries.
Margo laughed again,
"Yes, don't worry." She said gently, "I have something for all of you!"
Gru watched as Margo handed out Hershey kisses to all of the minions.
She always did care a lot about her family, and he was glad to see that there were still things that would never change.
It was then that the doorbell rang and, raising an eyebrow, he turned towards the door.
"Odd… I'm not expecting anyone." He muttered.
As he went towards the door, he peered through the peephole to see a boy standing there. He adjusted his glasses as strands of sun-bleached hair fell into his eyes.
Flashbacks of Edith's date ran through his mind and he visibly shuddered.
Margo and the other girls turned towards him.
"Who's there, Dad?" she asked, looking concerned.
Gru spun around, looking at them, horrified for just a moment.
Who is he? How did he get here? More importantly... Why is he here?
"Dad? A-are you okay? You look kinda pale…" Margo said, looking up at him.
"Uh… it's de Cookie Monster…" he stammered, "I'll go chase him away."
He scrambled clumsily out the door, he shut it quickly behind him.
The group just watched him as he went out the door.
"Did he just say the…cookie monster?"
~O~O~O~O~O~
The boy looked up as Gru emerged. He adjusted his glasses and looked up with a smile.
"Oh! Hello, Sir! You startled me!" he said, laughing uneasily, "Y-you must be Mr. Gru… Margo's father?"
Gru eyed him suspiciously.
"Yes…" he said, crossing his arms over his chest, "Why must you know?"
The boy beamed,
"I've been waiting to meet you, Sir!" He said happily, reaching out a shaky hand, "My name is Wallace Bonsen. I-I have my resume here… somewhere… I know it seems unnecessary, but I always thought that if a boy wanted to ask my daughter on a date, a resume might be a nice thing to have, y'know?"
He fumbled through the book bag he held at his side, and looking up nervously at Gru, he finally held out a piece of paper, neatly typed, though crinkled on one edge.
Gru took it, glancing at it quickly.
At the top, in big letters, was "Position Desired" and underneath that, was "Boyfriend".
Instantly, he crumpled it into a ball, and after tossing it up in the air, he reached into his jacket, pulled out a ray gun, disintegrating it.
Wallace just watched horrified for a few moments, then looked back at Gru, more nervous than ever.
"Uh… well, I… I was wondering… i-if Margo was home…" He stammered, "I just wanted to make sure that… she… y'know… got home safe. We go to the same college, you see…I-I'm there to get my MBA and-"
The door slammed shut before he could finish.
Gru, a satisfied smirk on his face walked back into the house without another word.
Margo, along with the other girls, turned back to their father after trying to watch the scene from the window.
"Dad… was that Wally?" she asked, going over to him.
"No… of course not!" he said, "We don't know any…Wally… It was de Cookie Monster!"
Margo looked unconvinced.
"Dad, I'm serious." She said, "That was-"
She hesitated, and it only took the blink of an eye for the other two girls to catch on.
"Ooooh! Margo's got a boyfriend!" Edith teased, pointing an accusing finger at her sister.
Instantly, Margo's face turned red and she held her fists at her sides.
"I-I do not!" she protested, "He's just a friend!"
Agnes giggled,
"One who followed you home!" She snickered, "He must really like you!"
"She said she didn't have a boyfriend!" Gru said, trying not to believe it himself.
He then turned to his embarrassed, eldest daughter.
"It's okay to have friends, Margo." He said, "But boyfriends is a beeg no-no."
"Then it was him! I-I can't believe you shut the door on him!" she shouted, bolting out the door.
"Wally!" she called, seeing him getting into his car.
He lit up seeing her and instantly closed the door.
"Margo!" he answered, running towards her, his arms wide-open.
Gru watched, horror-struck through the window, as they embraced tightly.
The other two girls sighed and giggled happily. Even the minions joined in, watching the scene.
All color drained from his face, but he realized that this boy had trespassed on his territory… The enemy, has infiltrated his base and tried to take away one of the treasures locked inside it.
Eyes narrowed and mind rapidly working, he saw his biggest threat… and it finally had a name.
Wallace Bonsen.
He was going nose to nose with the wrong unicorn… and he was about to get gored.
