Silver and Black
Megamind and Minion stared at the hole in the bank's thick wooden door. Whatever had pierced through it, it had a high speed, making the friction so extreme the edges of the hole were covered with coal!
"You'll need this," a police officer said and handed Megamind a body suit and shoe covers in plastic. Sending the fish a look, he added "We didn't have anything your... size..."
"I'll wait here then," Minion said, still examining the hole. "To do this, the speed must have been extreme. Not to mention whatever did it must be even harder than Wayne!"
Megamind nodded and finished putting on his suit, handing his friend the spiked cape. "They say it's worse inside. I'll send you the footage from the watch."
Seventeen years ago, bank robberies had been something he did, not solve. Back then, he believed he and the police were on different sides; today, he was working with them. Man, how times changed!
"Mister Megamind, I'm Officer Malone, I'm in this investigation." A short African American woman came up to him and reached out a hand.
"Any hurt?" he asked as Malone led him into the building.
"A guard died, but no others," she answered. "That's one of the reasons we want you to use the cover today."
"To avoid pollution of the clues?"
"No," the Malone said as they passed a corner. "Because of this."
The hall was specked with blood. Red, dripping, thick blood. Five litres of it covered the floor, walls and ceiling, turning everything red.
Megamind swallowed hard in order to fight the urge to vomit. The smell of it filled his nose and he had to focus on breathing through his mouth.
"The poor man stood in the middle of the hall when those things flew through. Imagine being hit by a jet. One minute he was walking his rounds, the next..." She did a gesture towards the red liquid. "Terrible."
"Terrible... indeed," he said, still focusing on breathing through his mouth, following her over a trail of plastic.
"And here's the vault. Just the same as the front door."
Also here, there was nothing more than a hole. Megamind leaned forward, examining it, and felt the hot air against his face.
"It's still warm."
"We called you the moment we got the message. The speed was so high; we almost can't see them on the cameras!"
"Them?"
"Let me show you. Montair!"
A younger police man came, carrying a handy little computer. He handed it to his boss, who pressed play. "This is the clip from one of the tapes."
A plain hall was shown, nothing else. Megamind looked up at her. "It's nothing on it."
"Ah, but watch now," she said and stopped the clip in just the right place. Two silver lines could vaguely be seen.
"And that's all we have?"
"That's all. We don't know what they are and they didn't leave a message. Two lines, that's it."
His magnificent brain began working straight away.
"What we need," Megamind said, "is a camera which takes thousands more pictures every second."
"Can you do that?"
Pointing at his head, the hero grinned. "Officer, that's on the edge of being an insult."
