MOMMY! DADDY!" Sage cried, jumping into the embrace of his parents' arms. The child sobbed, burying his face in his mother's chest as she held him closely. Bawling as his father stroked his hair gently, soothingly. Both Randall and Mary sobbed as well. Holding their son and not wanting to let him go. It all seemed like a dream. But it wasn't a dream. This was real. Their son was in their arms once again.
Unscathed. Perfectly fit. But his pjs were a little dirty. But he was alive.
But of course, all good reunions had to be cut short when the boys brought up that Miss Hardscrabble had been with them when they escaped. They explained how they escape, and that the secret passage wasn't big enough for her. This was confirmed when the Dean wasn't seen on campus that morning. No one was more devastated then Sulley, who nearly fell when he found out. Unfortunately, the boys were in such a hurry to escape that they didn't stop to take a look at the building. They did, however, bring up a second accomplice.
"Can you describe this monster for us?" the detective asked gently.
The boys, who were sitting in their mother's laps, bobbed their heads. Sage was the one who spoke the most, since Dennis was a little too shaken to speak.
"He was big!" Sage said, using his hands to describe it, "He was dark purple too. He had horns, and scary teeth."
This caught Randall, Mary, and Sulley's attention. There suspicions were confirmed when the detective asked if he heard his name.
"John." Sage replied.
Bingo.
"Um, detective, may I speak with you in private?" Sulley asked. The detective nodded and the two stepped out of the interview room. It was there that Sulley revealed the things that he, Randall, and Mary did during their investigation. How they think that this John could be John Worthington. The detective was a bit wary and suspicious, but agreed to bring out a couple of photos of various Johns.
Right away, Sage and Dennis picked out John Worthington's photo.
...
It was a surprise to everyone.
John's arrest was rather quick and without problem. The monster was actually gentlemen like when they arrested him. He had a polite smile on his face when they took him to the station. The boys were terrified as the families watched him get taken to the interrogation room by police. He was still wearing his long trench coat. Under it, his black button up shirt. Randall, Mary, and Sulley watched from a window while Sage stayed with Mike and Celia. John just sat there. His seemingly polite smile present on his lips. Soon the interrogation began.
During the first hour of interrogation, John was surprisingly cooperative. He told them his plan. Why he had the children kidnapped. All that. But when they asked him for the location of the building that held the kids, he fell silent. Only that polite smile remained. The mere smile had sent chills down Mary's spine. She eventually found herself in Randall's comforting arms, burying her face in his neck. The look of evil was quite clear on John's face. Randall was beginning to think that John could be worse then Johnny.
"Where is Abigail being held?" the detective asked firmly.
"Oh? Are we playing good cop bad cop now?" John asked politely.
"We're getting tired of your game, John, tell us where Abigail is!" the detective demanded.
But John merely smiled and said, "You didn't say the magic word."
That was it. Sulley was starting to get fed up with John's lack of cooperation now. Without warning, he suddenly stormed into the room and slammed his fist on the table, causing the detectives to jump back a bit. John, however, remained unphased.
"Where. Is. ABIGAIL?!" Sulley roared.
The smile on John's lips disappeared and his face was straight and calm.
"TELL ME!"
John was silent, merely staring at Sulley with his cold dark eyes. He then leaned in a bit and spoke so softly that only Sulley could hear.
"Can you feel it, James? Do you know what it's like? To lose your love ones? You don't know, James. You don't know."
Sulley's heavy breathing started to slow down and his hard face softened slightly.
John smiled, "You know that warehouse? The one with the rusty walls? I'd advise you go there first."
...
"Are you CRAZY?!" Randall exclaimed.
"Randall, I have to do this alone." Sulley replied.
Randall groaned a bit. They were back at the flat. The day had been long and exhausting for all of them. It was actually almost midnight when they were able to return home. Mary and Sage were already fast asleep. Randall was about to hit the sack when he saw Sulley about to leave. Instead of waiting for the police to save her, he decided to play knight in shining armor and save her himself.
"She saved us! Remember?" Sulley asked.
Randall nodded. He clearly remembered when Dean had shocked Johnny with his taser before he could kill Sulley.
"But your my friend, and I don't want you going out there alone. And you can't stop me from coming." Randall protested firmly, crossing his arms.
"And what makes you say that?" Sulley asked.
Randall smirked. "I have a driver's license." he said.
If this weren't such a serious situation, Sulley would've facepalmed.
...
Abigail, who was gagged and tied up, watched nervously as Marcus paced back and forth in the center of the large room. Muttering curses as he impatiently waited for John to return. He didn't come visit them at the evening. Like he normally did. This made the crimson lizard very nervous. Of course, before he left this afternoon, he told him to kill the Dean if he didn't come for his third visit. And sure enough, he was going to. Just when he was about to get the knife to kill her with, the sound of a car engine caught his attention.
"About damn time." he muttered.
Meanwhile, outside, Randall and Sulley just pulled up in front of one of the few abandoned warehouses that were still standing in the city of Monstropolis.
"This placed gives me the creeps." Randall said as they approached the doors.
The two pushed the doors opened before stopping dead cold once inside. Their eyes locked on the crimson lizard, who was surprised himself. Meanwhile, Abigail was desperately trying to get Sulley's attention. Which wasn't going so well since she was gagged and tied up. Plus she was hiding in the dark. It felt like an eternity had passed until Marcus quickly disappeared from sight.
"Shit! Where he go?!" Sulley yelled, jumping back.
The cautiously entered the large room, looking around for any sign of Marcus. Unfortunately, Sulley had his back turned on a dark corner, where a pipe suddenly lifted up by an unseen force, and slammed against his head.
"Sulley!" Randall yelled before running to his aid. The pipe suddenly dropped and Randall froze. His breathing grew heavy and his heart was racing as he frantically looked around for the unseen reptile. Without warning, he was suddenly tackled and pinned to the floor.
Marcus revealed himself and he used his four pair of arms to pin Randall's. A malicious smirk appeared on Marcus's lips as he leaned in a bit closer. "I know you," he whispered, "I've seen you on the news. John's told me about your relationship with my Johnny."
Randall looked confused.
"Oh? Didn't you hear?" Marcus asked mockingly, "I'm Johnny's lover. I've been with him longer then you." he then chuckled lustfully, "I wonder how good you are? If Johnny loved you that much, so much as to forget about me, then you most be good in bed."
Randall squirmed and desperately tried to buck the older lizard off. Damn it, why is it always the crazy people who lusted for him?!
Unknowingly, Sulley had managed to shakely get to his feet and pick up the pipe. He slowly approached Marcus from behind, and delivered a blow to the side of his head. It immediately knocked Marcus off, but it didn't render him unconscious. Marcus got to his feet and slithered to the corner. He took the guys by surprise when he dragged Abigail out with a knife against her throat.
Crap.
"Come any closer and I'll silence her." Marcus purred, the side of his head oozing blood.
Everyone was taken by surprise when the sound of sirens in the distance suddenly came into range of hearing. Marcus was the most surprised because it reminded him of when the police had came to his foster parents' home when a neighbor heard them screaming. He wasn't used to loud noises. He was actually afraid of very loud noises. Multiple police sirens count. This distraction had given Randall an advantage. He immediately turned invisible and approached Marcus. He picked up the pipe and hit Marcus repeatedly. He hit him until his body went limp.
Randall gazed down at Marcus's seemingly lifeless body. He dropped the bloody and fell to his knees.
"Randy?" a voice asked softly.
Randall slowly turned around to see Hardscrabble, ungagged and untied. Her face held a concerned expression on her face. Sulley stood beside her with his arm around waist securely.
"You saved me," she whispered, "Thank you."
"No." Randall panted, "Thank you for saving my son."
The dean smiled. For the first time since Sage and Dennis's kidnapping, they smiled at one another. They stepped out of the building, neglecting to take notice of Marcus. The crimson lizard, covered in his own blood, was still. However, as soon as he heard the doors closed, one of his hands twitched.
