Chapter 25: Breaking Into Sullivan's Office
'There it is! Sullivan's office!' I thought to myself. All I have to do is get inside and plant the microphone somewhere in the office, probably underneath his desk where no one would bother to look. Once one of Silva's henchman breaks into the office and changes the hard drive on Sullivan's computer, they'll try to arrest the idiot, but without anyone knowing I'll send the evidence of the secret recordings to the police. Sullivan will then be sent home like nothing had happened and in return for my good will I'll be removed from Monstropolis Most Wanted list as a thank you for saving the company and Sullivan. Of course I could do all this for him and still get sent to prison or fail to save that stupid fur ball from being arrested and get killed by Silva's henchman. All in all this could go either way. Slithering past the empty waiting room I could see the gold plank on the door that read 'James P Sullivan CEO Of Monsters Incorporated'. Looking at it closely I didn't like that plank at all, it made me want to abort my plan and let Silva get away with his crime he was about to commit but I knew I couldn't, my life depended on this plan. Not wasting any more time I placed my hand on the door knob and started to twist it. The door opened and his office was in view, without knowing I was the first monster to arrive out of Goldman and Sullivan.
The first thing I noticed was his desk which on top laid Sullivan's computer the E2407 series, a computer I saw advertised in the paper once. It kind of look like a really old TV stuck on top of a video cassette recorder. I couldn't see any other computer in the room so it had to be the one he was using for now. I closed the door behind me as a nice cool breeze hit me as I walked towards Sullivan's desk. Placing my bag on the on top of it next to the computer I grab the black box and opened it to see the only microphone left. I breathe a sigh of relief as I grabbed the microphone and place it in a draw underneath Sullivan's computer. For some reason I thought it had gone missing and I turned it on, maybe I was getting nervous I would lose my chance of getting my act together, if the microphone was indeed lost but so far everything was going well. Now all I had to do is turn on the device and press record and get the hell out of here but sadly things are never that simple or easy as I was about to find out around about... now.
"Freeze!" Said a voice behind me.
I recognised that voice, it was Jeff Goldman, the one who brought me to Silva's office yesterday. Lifting my head up to see the purple monster still wearing his security uniform and a bag behind his back as he pointed what appealers to be a taser gun in his hands. I could see the red leaser dancing around my chest. Not fully knowing what to do and not wanting to get a shocking from a taser gun I thought of something fast and played the dumb game. "Jeff what are you doing?! I'm doing the job Silva wanted me to complete..." But he still pointed the taser at me, his nose twitched at my comment while his face began to get all sweaty. "Don't play dumb with me Boggs. You failed the mission by getting caught by the police. Now I'm doing your job for you and getting highly paid for it. Look I like you but you screwed up badly and there nothing I can do for you! Now put your hands behind your head and on your knees." He ordered.
"I screwed up? Oh how very rich. If you like me so much why don't you let me go?" I hissed back. "That can't be done. You shouldn't even be here!" He shouted back "Now put your hands behind your head and lay on the floor Boggs!" I began to laugh at him and his pointless reason why it was my fault in the first place. "If I shouldn't be here then I don't have to take any orders from you or Silva. So the answer is going to be no." Jeff's face crumpled at my replied like a car being crushed into tiny little scraps of metal. His teeth rub with each other as he looked at my eyes, he could see I didn't fear him which would make his job much harder then it needed to be. "This is your last chance. I've already harmed one of your colleagues and I don't want to harm..." What! Would this explain why Rebecca wasn't answering her phone? If that means she has been kidnapped then I must know where she is being held, but I needed more answers first. "Who is it? Rebecca?" My antenna became straight as a pole, my eyes widen. "If you harm her... I... I'll!" I made a loud grumbling sound. "Just don't touch her!" I shouted back again. "I'm afraid that's a little too late my friend. No matter... If you come with me I take you too her." He said in a more evil tone.
"So I can say my last goodbye before you kill us both?" I said with my teeth greeted together at him. "I really got no time for this." Jeff signed loudly but before he could do anything I disappeared from view. "It's no use Boggs! Come out and I promise I won't use the taser gun on you!" he moved around the room holding his handgun forcing me to be careful that his leaser on the weapon didn't bounce off my body otherwise it would give my position away. I was now right above Jeff who was still moving around the office trying to find any clues to where I was. Timing was everything and when I felt it was the right time to attack I did. I dropped down and smacked onto Jeff who fell to the ground. The taser fell out of his hands and flew across the room towards the door. We both scrambled on the floor trying to get to the gun first. I used two of my arms to push Jeff's head away as I was closest to the gun but instead he grabbed my hand and bite into the back of my antenna hard. I screamed in pain as I kicked the purple monster away from me but this only helped him get closer to the yellow gun on the floor. I made one last attempt by throwing myself towards the gun but it was too late. He quickly grabbed the gun and rolled himself away from me before he started his next attack. It wasn't long before felt a hard kick that landed on my chest which winded me for quite some time, I found it incredible hard to breath as I almost lost my balance, It's not every day an four legged monster falls over from lousing balance when he's not had a few drinks. I put my arms in the air as a sign of surrender but Jeff raised the taser to my chest, the red leaser dot danced around me as I tried to reason with him. "Don't..." I said in an out of breath voice but Jeff didn't care, not anymore. He pulled the trigger and two silver wired probes busted out of the yellow blast doors of the gun came flying towards me.
50,000 volts punched into my body, forcing me onto the floor with immediate effect. The thing about being shot at by a taser is that it's not the volts but the painful probes that hock into your skin to send the volts onto your body is indeed the most uncomfortable and painful thing I've ever felt in my whole life. I laid on the floor violently shaking. Now paralysed and no longer a threat to Jeff he stop the gun from electrocuting me and got out a pair of handcuffs. "I told you so but you didn't listen to me. Now that you've faced the consequences and all you can do now is do the one thing I told you to do in the first place." He said as he rolled me over to my back and grab my hands and started to put the first pair of handcuffs on me. "You... You didn't... have to fire upon... me." I said in an exhausted voice. "Oh I had to all right." Jeff said as he just finished putting the second pair of handcuffs on my second pair of hands. He pulled me up and I try to stand but I kept falling over. "Get up you useless lizard! I've wasted too much time as it is!" He angry replied but it was no use, I wasn't going anywhere in the state I was in.
The office door opened and out came a blue furry monster with purple poke dot spots all over his body. He was shocked to see me and Jeff in his office but then again anyone would be. "What's going on here? Randall what are you doing here!?" Jeff almost began to panic until he thought of what to say that was... Believable. "Errh I saw Boggs sneaking into your office Mr Sullivan. He must have escaped from the police station. I'll get him out of here and send him back to jail where he belongs sir." He stated nervously. "He's lying! He's really here to sabotage your office for Silva!" I shouted with all the energy I had left. "I came here to bug the office with a microphone to catch him in the act but instead he caught me before I could do anything. If you don't believe me check his bag! It will have a computer hard drive in it."
Jeff started to sweat now and became a little bit anxious. "The lizard making it up. I'm just a security..." But Sullivan stopped him from speaking just by saying. "Show me your bag. If it doesn't have anything in there then Randall is lying. If it does have what he says you have then you're lying, right?" I had a large smile appear on my face. Now Sullivan was going to realise I was telling the truth all along! "Fine... just give me a second." He slowly remove his bag from his body and gave it to Sullivan. The blue monster opened it to find a sliver bag inside along with an anti-static kit. "That's it... That's the hard drive he was going to insert into your computer." Sullivan looked cross at Jeff. "So you were lying. Who else is in on this or is it everyone working here tonight?" Sullivan spoke in an angry voice that made Jeff tremble with fear.
"I don't know what you mean? Boggs must have dumped it in my bag trying to frame me. I mean do you really think someone like this would just turn a new leaf over a few days?" The purple monster said as the sweat stains started to show through his uniform, mostly his shirt collar and around the arm pit region. "Stop lying! I'm not buying it at all. Now you're going to release Mr Boggs from those handcuffs while I'll call the police since everyone here trying to destroy the company." What!? While I never thought that would come out of his mouth, if anything I thought he would be happy me being in chains. Still this had been the weirdest week of my life.
"More like trying to take over it." I joked under my breath. Sullivan walked closer towards me but Jeff got his night stick from his unity belt and started pointing it at Sullivan. "Stay back or I will use force, like I did to your brown furry co-work!" Jeff's threat only made things worse by making Sullivan angry. "You harmed Sanderson? Where is he!?" Before Jeff could even reply back Sullivan grab his night stick and smashed it with his knee, the stick broke in half with ease. "Hey! Do you know how much that costs to get a new one!?" Jeff said unhappy what Sullivan had done. "You won't need to worry once the police are here. In fact you won't have to worry about your job at all! Now give me the keys to those handcuffs!"
"Fine!" Jeff got the two keys from his pocket and passed it to Sullivan who took the keys and began to work on releasing me. To my surprise Jeff just watch and did nothing which I found a little bit strangle, maybe he was too sacred to radio in for help. Soon I was released but I was still weak from the taser and the kick into the chest. "Can you get up?" Sullivan asked. "No. I'm too weak to walk." As I spoke to Sullivan he notice the two silver probes on my chest and pulled them out. "Ahhh!" I shouted pain. "Sorry... sorry. I guess he did this to you then." The blue furry monster said with a caring look on his face which I've never seen before, well never aimed at me of course.
"You bet. I was giving myself up as well which just added more insult to injury." Sullivan grabbed me and placed me on his chair for me to rest for a while which embarrassed me a little like I was someone's baby and Sullivan was the baby sitter. Sullivan turned around to face Jeff who already realised there was no way of getting out of this. "Now what should I do with you?" Jeff didn't reply, he just stood there waiting for his world to turn upside down. "For now you can stay in my office until the police arrive." Sullivan made clear until the purple monster coughed before adding. "You might have a problem with that Mr Sullivan." He coughed again. "What do you mean problem?" I asked as I pushed the record button from my device.
"Before I was meant to do my thing. We had a three stage process before I started my mission. One was to block all the exits, no one gets in or out. Two was to make sure no left the laugh floor or what it's being called tonight the party floor. Three was to cut all communication with the whole building so no one can call for help like you're are trying to do now. Once all three had been executed I was to go to your office and plant the hard drive into your computer and then call the police of what we had found. Even if you were able to call the police and try to arrest us, you can't prove it!" I began to smile as I press the stop button again on the recording device I packed in my bag. "Oh yes he can." I waved the recording device in the air. "I've been recording everything you've said. I've also bugged Silva's office as well so I would say that's enough to take Silva and the rest of you to court." I said with an evil grin. Jeff became angry "You spineless son of a..."
"Cleaver monster? Yes I would agree too that my parents are very cleaver." I replied cocky as ever before.
"Well now that's covered before we try to contact the police we better deal with your friend first." Sullivan said. "Agreed!" I added. Sullivan grabbed the two handcuffs and walked over to Jeff who was backed into the wall. "Handcuff him to the radiator. But make sure you use both of them." I said about to enjoy every moment of Jeff's embarrassment. "That's what I had in mind." Sullivan replied. Odd how we were almost getting alone for a moment but it wasn't going to last.
See you Sunday!
