Chapter -26 Opened eyes
Randall came out from the door where he had left the little girl with her family. His scratched face was full of tears as he emerged from the room. He closed the door softly and then rested against it. He took in a deep breath and bowed his head. Alex launched herself toward him and hugged him tightly looking into his eyes as she placed Rex into his arms who hugged him tightly.
"Is Sophie home now Uncle Randy?"
"Yeah she is, she's home Randall said as he placed his arm around Alex and continued to hug his tiny Nephew.
"Boggs?" A voice said breaking the happiness, Randall face Roz who was waiting there patiently with a collection of yellow agents, Mike and Sulley. "We had a deal."
"Yeah we did but my sister still hasn't made an appearance." Randall said as he returned to the serious side of his personality.
"Very good, agent 720 please escort everyone to city hospital." Roz said as she looked over her shoulder. "Keep an all eight eyes on him."
The entire group began to departure including Mike and Sulley who wanted to accompany their new friend.
The ride was quick and weather Randall liked it or not Rex was clinging to him like glue, but he didn't seem to mind. Before anybody knew it they were outside her room where Charlotte's lifeless body was resting.
Doctor Reggs came out and looked at the collection of misfit monster surrounded with agents who were watching Randall's every move. Although it was a little controlling Randall liked the idea that he didn't have to hide away from the world anymore. He could be with Rex who he held tightly in his arms. But the better fact was that he could be with somebody he really cared about in the open. Alex stood at the side of Randall holding onto his hand softly occasionally looking over to see how he was doing. Every time she was welcomed by a smile from both Randall and Rex. Who then would let out a little giggle after.
"So you're the infamous Randall Boggs?" Reggs said as he looked at the monster who stood in front of him . "You captured the heart of one of our nurses but I guess she's just going to be disappointed." He looked to see Alex who took a step close to Randall and let out a frown.
"Yeah, guess she is. And you are?" Randall looked at Reggs his eyes were narrow.
"Dr Reggs, your sister's doctor. How you doing Rex, seems you found your uncle" Reggs smiled at the little monster who let out a giggle.
"C-can I see her?" Randall said honestly as he looked at the doctor, he didn't really like the guy but if he was looking after Charlotte he guessed he would have to put up with him.
"You mean say goodbye?" Reggs said with a soft face as he looked over to the three monsters.
"What?" Randall's eyes widened as he took a step forward.
"T-the life support, I we… you can't." Reggs was about to continue when Alex cleared her through and made Reggs look at Rex's little face who was just confused about the idea. Reggs understood the gesture and stopped talking.
"Hey Rex do you want to go get a drink? Perhaps some chocolate?" Alex said looking at him with a fake smile.
"Yep, can I have scream soda?" Rex said as he looked over to Alex. "Um, I mean please can I have scream soda?"
"Yep, you can have whatever you want." Randall said as he placed the little monster on the flaw and looked down at his tiny nephew. "Whatever you want, but go with Alex because I have to stay and talk to the doctor Okay Squirt?" Rex smiled and hugged his Uncle back until he faced Alex waiting for her.
Alex held her hand out and Rex took it eagerly as he led her to the cafeteria, of course he knew where it was. Alex looked back over her shoulder back to see Randall who waved them off. She made a kiss motion with her mouth and Randall blushed a little before snapping back into the real world with Reggs deep voice that made Sulleys sound like a little kids voice.
"You soft on him, he's lucky he needs somebody who can look after him." Reggs said as Randall turned back with a puzzled expression. Anyway are you gonna run away again?" Reggs let out a smile at Randall who just frowned and crossed his arms.
"Turned over a new leaf, I'm the good guy from now on." Randall frowned again at Reggs effort to be friendly.
"Well whatever you've being though you've certainly being in the wars, looking at the state of you. Plenty of war wounds to tell the kids when they get older." Reggs let out another smile.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Randall said as his impatience began to show from the doctor's friendly nature.
Reggs sighed and turned his back to Randall picking up a sheet of paper with something written on it. He studied the paper for a moment before responding. "We did some advanced blood test and found that she has a rear condition that affects the function of the brain through the lack of cells in her blood. The weakness of the blood spreads through the brain and deposits dangerous chemicals on the brain. It a very rear condition only found in reptiles. The most common name is Narcorosis syndromas. Or the common name is sandman syndrome."
"Meaning what?" Randall widened his eyes trying not to show the growing panic in his mind his heart was already beating too fast for his liking.
Reggs looked at Randall noticing his eyes were identical to Rex's which gave him an uneasy feeling of a little kid so innocent could have a family member who had made the biggest mess in history.
He took in a sight and tried to explain less sciencey than normal to Randall, who probably would have understood anyway. "It means that her blood has left harmful substances in her brain that are stopping her from wakening up. She's still in there it's just like a really deep sleep. But the longer she stays asleep the less chance she has of wakening up."
"So what's the plan to wake her up again?" Randall's brow lowered to the large monster giving him another uneasy feeling.
"W-well there is an operation where we give her a full blood transfusion and then remove as much of the bacteria from her mind. There's a sixty/forty chance she won't come out. With sixty being the percentage she doesn't come out. We were planning to turn the machinery of this evening. Hell I was offered thousands by this creep to turn the machine off before but I turned it down. I'm a doctor above all else." Reggs let out a breath. "We could try and save her if we had the money but."
"If you need money I can get you money." Randall took a step forward with his arms wide open to try and get the doctor on his side.
"Where, exactly Mr. Boggs? You're a wanted criminal; they won't let you make a decision like this. And where would you get the money from?" Reggs crossed his arms and starred at Randall's blank expression.
"Do you think my families penniless? What about my mother she's loaded well she was a couple of years ago." Randall crossed his arms matching Reggs expression.
"Your mother, we can't get into contact with her and do you really think that they would let you have money even if it is to save a life. Look I'm sorry but there's nothing I."
"Don't say it! Just don't try and fill it with fancy crap about it will let her rest. What about Rex? You gonna leave him without his mom? Don't look at me, there probably already reading the charges out and then they'll send me away where the son doesn't even exist. So I'll ask you again what are you going to go about it?"
Randall let out a breath realising his fists were clenched and he was shaking a little. The most disturbing point was that he had literally backed Reggs into a corner. Randall knew he needed help but his sister was more important.
"I don't thinks it's just you're sister that needs help is she?" Reggs stood up and Randall retaliated back raising his brow reviling a Randy expression.
"I think Charlotte is the one that needs help more."
Regges placed a hand on Randall's shoulder and smiled at the lizard monster. "Whatever people think you are, they have no idea on what was under all that. Hmm do they? I-I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do. I-I'm sorry."
"Look PAL, I just went through hell to keep what's left of my family safe and if there's a chance my sister will come out of an operating theatre, I'll take it! So you better get everything sorted." Randall clenched his fists again.
"Spoken like a true brother." A voice said from behind Randall.
"Sullivan." Randall didn't bother to turn around he could already determine the identity of the monster from the voice. "Roz tell you to keep an eye on me?" Randall crossed his arms and frowned like a little child having a tantrum.
"Yep, she doesn't want you running off." Sulley moved and stood next to Randall.
Randall took in a sigh as his eyes began to narrow and his lip trembled. "Sorry. I just…"
"You don't want to let her go, I know buddy." Sulley patted Randall on the back softly but hard enough to force Randall to take a step forward.
"Yeah, she's my sister and I should have been there before but I was just so caught up in well, you know. If I could do it over I."
"I know pal, you would be there." Sulley looked at Randall sympathetically.
Randall placed his head into his hands and closed his eyes trying to keep all of it in. He didn't want to show how desperate he wanted his life back so he could try and do something good. Randall shook a little before he let out a corky sigh trying to hold the tears in. But it didn't last Randall felt a warm trickle slither down his cheek. Randall let out a sniffle and closed his eyes to try and stop it but nothing seemed to work.
"You have no idea Sullivan, You had the perfect life. All I ever got was runner up and the conciliation prize." Randall sighed and finally brushed away the tear from his eye.
"Hey, don't start, save the crying for later." Sulley patted the reptile monster on the shoulder again. "In a way you're the lucky one, you got the glory and the girl."
"I'd take a thousand second places as long as my Angel was there, but."
"But you want more? You want a second chance, to be with your family, to make the right choice?"
Randall nodded and then slunk back in his depression as Reggs just stood there as pity seemed to enthral all the monsters in the room.
"A second chance… I know that's impossible… but wishful thinkin' never hurt." Randall looked over to the large monster with a Randy expression which only gave even more pity to the greened eyed monster.
"Wishful thinking?" Sulley took in a sigh towards his new friend as he saw something new about Randall Boggs. "Then stop whishing, go get a cup of coffee and sit down an operation like that's probably gonna be more than a few hours."
Randall seemed to jump to life with Sulley's sentence. "What?"
"You deserve a second chance Buddy and I guess we owe you that much. Y-your sister worked for the company right?" Sulley crossed his arms.
"Did she?" Randall's narrow eyes flickered with confusion, how was it Sullivan knew more about his sister than him?
"Yeah, I saw it in the files when I took over. Thought you'd know?" Sulley's mind returned to the day he and Mike looked after the day care kids and that he knew he'd recognised the little orange monster Mike had rescued from somewhere. No wonder he reminded him so much of Randall when he saw the little monsters face
Randall didn't answer he just looked away from Sulley. But Sulley knew from the reptiles face that he wished he did. "Like I said she worked for the company, I read in a file she left about a month after you… well I doubt you want to go into that mess."
"What's your point Sullivan?" Randall crossed his eyes and took in a breath, he didn't like being this soft in front of Sulley although it had already being established that he was now a big softie weather he liked it or not.
"My point is that I think that we owe you and your sister something. So the operation will be paid for and maybe we can work on giving you a second chance. "
Randall sprung to life with the sentence and didn't seem to care about the pain that had risen in his back again. Randall couldn't help but feel like Randy all of a sudden he hugged Sulley tightly for a moment until of course what was left of his pride returned and he let go of the large, fury monster and took a step back embarrassed of what he had done.
Sulley raised an eyebrow as he looked at his old enemy and new friend all in one. "So I take that as a yes?" Sulley let out a smile
Randall joined in with the smile and then snatched Sulley's hand with all four of his hands and shook it frantically. "Thank you Sulley. Thank you so much I don't…"
"Just promise you'll stay a friend and not go crazy again." Mike stepped from behind Sulley crossing his arms and staring at Randall with his wide eye. He let out a smirk to the reptile in front of him.
Randall smiled back, a genuine smile towards the little monster; it was like something dark had lifted off of Randall's shoulders.
"Never thought I'd see you silent. Well not unless you were plotting to kill us." Mike cracked.
Before he knew it Randall found himself sat between two monsters who he loved. One had cuddled up on the side of a seat and was fast asleep using Randall's arm as a teddy just as he had done before. The other one was letting out soft breaths as she rested her head on his shoulder, she was covered in bandages with her eyes closed. Her face was oddly at peace and she looked happy. Randall loved feeling her next to him, he felt safe. Feeling her warm breaths on his bare shoulders made him feel more like Randy than ever before.
Randall looked down to see his hand holding onto hers as she slept. He turned her hand softly to revile the shiny scar on her wrist which shinned in the new sun that had begun to shine through the hospital windows. He moved his hand softly and caressed her scars to feel the smooth flesh. Randall feared she might wake up and tell him to let go.
Randall leaned his head against hers and closed his eyes for a moment. "Angel, I promise I'll never let you go through something like that. Not ever."
Randall moved his top right hand and began stroking her dreadlock fronds softly as his body shook a little. His nerves had being on edge ever since his sister was wheeled into surgery. It had to be luck that the neurosurgeon was here in the hospital and could perform the operation so quickly. But Randall was more focused on how ironic it was that the surgeon was there even though they were going to turn the machines off the day they could have forgot about profit and saved her.
Rex let out a small whimper as he tightened his grip on Randall's arm. The poor kid had just collapsed into his sleep after Randall had told him his mom was going in for sugary. Randall didn't blame the little guy, he must have being shattered.
Randall turned his head slightly along a green corridor where to see a set of doors to an operating theatre. In the other direction was a set of doors that was constantly being opened and closed buy doctors and nurses. Every time the doors open Randall could see a slicker of yellow.
Agents surrounded the entire building; no way was Randall getting out of here. But he accepted that, h kept thinking to himself what good would it do? If there was a chance he could get out of the mess to be with his family he would take it.
Randall then eyed two monsters who were sat with the yellow agnates. The two monsters who saved his life and gave his sister a second chance, not family so they couldn't come in to this area of the hospital, Randall still hadn't figured out why they let Alex in but he wasn't going to complain.
"You promise?"
Alex looked to see the voices owner was Alex who slowly opened her eyes and looked at him with her chocolate irises. Randall returned his head to rest on top of hers and let out a small sigh.
"I promise with what's left of my heart. All of it." Alex let out a smile and then snuggled back into Randall's shoulder and closed her eyes again feeling his warmth she let herself fall asleep again knowing she was always safe with Randall close by.
Randall looked over to see Rex, he smiled at the little guy as his frond lowered showing he was dreaming of something. Randall then continued to let out deep breaths with his little family until he closed his eyes and allowed sleep to embrace his fatigued body.
"Randy! Hey Randy!"
A voice penetrated Randall's ears in a soft yet annoying way. He slowly opened his eyes and allowed his vision to focus. He saw a familiar green one eyed monster standing in front of him. Randall let out a small growl obviously he wasn't happy about being woken up by Mike.
"What?" Randall grumbled as he blinked sleep from his eye and allowed himself to wake up, he had no idea how long he'd been out. But the resonance was okay when he felt Alex still leaning on his shoulder as she woke up at around the same time as Randall.
"Sorry buddy but some people want to talk to you." Mike turned around to see Reggs and a second monster standing there. The second monster had around eight arms and wore a set of scrubs.
"Mr. Boggs?"
Randall stood up forgetting to think about his nephew and whatever Alex was to him to fall onto the seat and both wake up. "Is she…. Did you?" Randall spread all of his arms out expecting a response.
"All we can do now is wait Mr. Boggs, if it did as soon as the anaesthetic wears off she should wake up. If not, it means the cells have decayed too much in her mind and I would be more merciful to end it."
"T-thank you. Can I see her?"
Both the monsters nodded and escorted Randall to her room.
In the room lay a motionless green monster with wearing a oxygen mask over her mouth and leads injected into her arms as she lay there peacefully in the bed. Taking in deep breaths but still laying there with no movement. The monster had a large cut on her head that was neatly stitched up and bandaged lightly to allow the worm to heal.
Randall approached the bed pulling up a chair as he sat in the same position as the first time he came to visit her. Already he could see a collection of agents outside the door, to stop him from escaping.
"Hey Charlie, you're gonna be okay now they fixed you up pretty good." Randall placed his hand on hers and allowed a tear to fall down his cheek. He stroked her hand a little. "You'll pull through this, can't leave your little boy alone in this world."
The door to the room slowly opened to revile both Rex and Alex entering the room both with a sympathetic look on their face. Rex ran over to his uncle and jumped onto the chair next to him and then looked at his silent mother then placing his hand onto of Randall's and held both his mother and Uncles hand.
"He wanted to come and see her. You didn't mind did you?" Alex whispered softly as she walked up slowly behind Randall.
He let out a small sigh and shook his head softly as his attention drew back to Rex and Charlotte.
"Is she gonna wake up soon?" Rex said as he rested against his uncle softly.
"I hope so Squirt." Randall placed his arm around Rex and hugged him loosely. He hoped with everything that she would wake up soon.
Alex let out a small breath as she rested her head on top of Randall's she then threw her arms around his neck and hugged gently. Randall placed his hands onto hers and stroked delicately allowing his eyes to close for a few moments to be with her. Then the panic of Charlotte sunk in again.
About a hour passed and all three monsters were half asleep when suddenly someone let out a small whimper as if they were wakening up for the first time.
Another whimper came after and all three conscious monsters jumped at the sound and all starred at the sounds origin.
Randall's eyes widened as the hand he was holding suddenly gripped onto his and held it tightly as her green eyes burst open. Life flowed back into her body. She took in a deep breath and her body shot up into a standing position. She took in deep breaths until she sunk back down into a lying position looking around the room with her blurred vision.
"Hey doctor!" A voice said as it ran out of the room as a door shut.
Charlotte's body shifted violently as confusion enthralled her body as her now blood shot eyes shot images of panic in every direction. Something was holding onto her hand tightly yet softly trying to keep her still.
She relaxed herself as the weakness of her body sunk in. Charlotte closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them trying to focus them and allow the blurry effect to pass. A voice sung in her ears as she patently listened to its calling. Her name was being called by a familiar voice but yet it was like she hadn't heard it tone in a long time.
"Charlotte? Come on please Charlie…"
Charlotte eyes focused on an unpredictable source of the voice. A reptilian purple monsters with narrow eyes that looked desperate as he clasped softly onto her hand.
"R-Randall?" Her voice was weak yet soothing, very motherly (figures).
Randall let out a meek smile as his grip tightened on Charlotte's hand. He didn't know what to say now that the moment had arrived. Despite the fact that he had planned about fifty conversations in his mind he didn't know what to really say now she was awake.
"Yeah i-it's me…" Randall placed another hand on Charlottes, she let out a smile at the sight of her little brother was home. "I'm hear Charlie."
"Mommy!" Rex said as he jumped off the chair over to his mother and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly remarkably not affecting the cables and leads in her arms she hugged him back weekly.
"Rex. Oh Rex, hi sweetheart, are you okay? What happened to your eye?" Charlotte caressed her son's black eye and gave off a worried expression.
"I'm okay, Mommy I missed you so much." Rex let out a smile at his mother and then whispered softly trying not to let out a tear. "Uncle Randy looked after me."
"He did?" Sophie looked over to Randall softly who had taken a step backward into the darkness of the room. "Did you?"
"He's worth it Charlie. He's…"
"I'm your nephew, and Uncle Randy promises he'll always be here for us." Rex looked over to Randall. "Right?"
Randall nodded and let out a smile trying to hide his new found softness, he didn't know why. Maybe it was the little pride left inside himself.
Charlotte smiled back at him sweetly as she extended her arm towards him. "Come hear little brother…"
Randall sighed and virtually ran over to his sister and hugged her tightly as she did the same in response. He held her tightly as he felt a weight coming off his shoulders. But yet years of regret seemed to come over him.
"Thank you Randall. For helping my little boy." Charlotte let out a tear unlike her brother she didn't care who saw her cry unless it was Rex.
Randall remained silent until he felt someone else joining in with the hug. Rex threw himself at the two monsters and hugged them tightly, as his family was now complete. Both his Mommy and Uncle had come home and seen each other.
"She's awake… She's…" Alex burst into the doors with Reggs, Sulley and Mike who all froze. Alex let out a soft smile as she saw them all together.
Charlette let go of Randall with the new comers entering the room and laid back down into the bed but still holding onto Randall and Rex's hand as she looked at the approaching monsters. One obviously a doctor the other she wasn't shore about. But one was a pretty girl covered in bandages and had her arm in a sling.
"Where am I?"
"You in a hospital, you collapsed a while ago Miss. Boggs, but the worst is over now." Reggs smiled at the week monster who was now holding onto her son with three of her arms and softly stroking his head.
"Guess it was your lucky day pal." Mike cracked as he drew a smile over to Randall.
"Not luck, just good friends." Randall sighed again. "Friends I should have kept, since they were worth a hundred of those things I used to trust." Randall let out a small smile.
Randall stuck his hand out to Sulley who took it and they shook hands making a amends for all the years that Randall regretted now. "It's what friends do buddy."
The door opened to revile Roz. "Sullivan, Wozowski out! I need you to sign a form that you'll shred that kid's door. Five minutes Boggs, that's all…"
"Hey but that's not…" Mike said as Roz disappeared through the door. "Fair…" Mike dropped his gaze and then looked up at Sulley.
"Come one Mike, let's see what she wants and give them a chance to say good bye." Sulley and Mike both left along with Reggs who also respected the five minutes and knew what it meant. Only Alex remained standing in the corner silently.
"What does he mean Randall?"
"I- I have to face what I've done, I really don't want to but…."
"Run away! Just go get out!" A voice said from the back of the room catching the attention of all the monsters in the room.
"What?" Both Randall and Charlotte said together to the voice in the room, which gave the voiced owner an uneasy feeling.
"I mean... I don't want…" Alex took a step forward into the light to see three monsters with a confused expression.
"No! I'm not running."Randall walked over to Alex and took hold of her hand looking into her eyes that were worried. "I'm not running away from something I don't want to lose, I need help and if it gives me some sort of life. I'll take it." Randall looked over to Charlotte and Rex then back to Alex. "All of you, I'm not leaving any of you." Randall whispered as Alex looked back up at him. "I'll never leave you be alone again Angel, never."
Alex lowered her gaze from Randall as she pulled back away from him. "I need help, Angel." Alex nodded softly as Randall pulled her back holding onto her hands which left Charlotte staring there wide eyed.
"Who's this?" Charlotte said weekly as she looked over to her little brother and the girl he was with.
Randall turned to face his sister with a blank look on his face. He had to tell her how he found Rex added onto the fact that he found the girl of his dreams. "Umm, this…is umm… this is Al..."
"Alex! My names Alex …" Alex said with a low tone in her voice, which made Randall look directly at her with a raised brow as confusion sunk into his mind.
"Umm yeah this is my Alex. I mean are you my Alex?" Randall said as he looked at her. Alex replied his question by taking hold of his hand and softly placing her head on his shoulder.
"Alex, that's a pretty name." Charlotte said softly as she looked over to the couple with wishful eyes. "Are you going to steal my brother off me?"
Alex who was now trying to get used to the idea of being called Summer again let out a smile towards Charlotte and Rex. "Guess so."
"Don't break his heart!" Charlotte tried to sound a little frightening but her gentle nature wouldn't let her voice even sound annoyed.
"Never." Alex said aloud as she looked over to Randall's honest face.
Alex looked up to see Randall face was full of sorrow. She cupped her hand around his face and looked into his emerald eyes as she brushed one of his tears away. She moved her head closer to him and brushed back his fronds as the both kissed each other softly. Randall tightened his grip on Alex and tried not to blush.
Charlotte's face came to life as she finnaly saw the Randy in her little brother that she thought was gone forever.
Alex broke from the kiss and looked at Randall still holding onto him tightly she smiled.
Randall held onto Alex and looked at her for one more second until her spoke. "Can we pretend that was out first kiss?" Randall cleared his through and let a smile.
"You mean when you don't blush and turn into a scaly rug with hearts on?" Alex let out one of her smiled.
"Um...yeah." Randall let out another smile in her direction.
"Not a chance." Alex giggled and looked at Randall who frowned back; he then shrugged and pulled her tighter into his arms. Her brown eyes stared into his emerald ones as Randall felt he could be safe for one minute with her.
"Uncle Randy?" Rex said as he reached up and pulled onto his uncle's arm. His little face was full of life and lit up, the only thing that seemed to be wrong with him was a black eye that matched Randall's.
"Hey Squirt." Randall lifted the little monster into his arms and held him tightly still holding onto Alex in the process.
Rex let out a little giggle as he looked a t the couple. "Told you so." Rex let out another giggle.
"What?" Alex said as her scratched face looked over to the little monster as she let out a smile.
"Told ya you liked her as your girl friend."
Randall widened his eyes and looked at the little monster, trying not to blush. He then looked over to Alex again into her eyes. "Are we, are you my umm? Or are we just friends?
Alex let out one of her smiled as she placed her head on Randall's hunched shoulder. "If your put girl in front of the friend part you might be a little closer to the answer."
"So you're my girlfriend?" Randall said as he narrowed his head to rest on Alex's.
"Well… I suppose you could be in my league, I normally go for the tall dark and handsome. But I guess, I can live with the tough but in a sweet way, mentally deranged criminal." Alex let out one of her smiles.
"We'll I didn't do much better I got an ex-suicidal collage reject who except for that reason is perfect in every way although her mouth is a little big." Randall let out a chuckle that Alex joined in to.
Rex began to laugh and the trio hugged each other tighter the better moment had come for both Randall and Alex. Alex had the family she wanted to join and Randall finally felt like the old Randy inside and out.
"At least I know your always there to rescue me. I'll never be afraid when I fall." Alex whispered as they leaned in ready for another kiss only to be interrupted by a deep corky voice.
Roz opened the door and looked into the room and the four monsters. "Boggs! It's time." Sulley and Mike stood behind her both wearing deep expressions towards their friend. Randall placed Rex back on the flaw as even more sorrow dropped into his heart.
"No… he can't!" Alex said running to his rescue.
"That's the way it has to be Miss Dibb, he can come quietly or we can arrange for the police to take him.
Randall took hold of Alex's hand and drew her towards him. "Don't Alex please. I'm going."
"But You."
"But I know what I've done, and I know that I need to answer for them." Randall pulled Alex in closer to him and hugged her tightly. "Thank you Angel." Randall hugged her harder as she buried herself into the reptile monster not wanting to let him go. "Don't tell Rex." Randall whispered into his Angel ear as he hugged her tighter. "Take care of her please?"
Randall let go of Alex who looked at him "you don't even have to ask." Alex said as Randall exited the room. Alex brushed away a tear as her Randy walked away from her/
"Uncle Randy?" Rex shouted as he ran in pursuit to his Uncle.
Randall turned as he exited the door to see his tiny Nephew standing in front of him. Randall let out a smile and collapsed to his knees. Rex ran towards him and he jumped into Randall's arms hugging him tightly. "Where's my Uncle Randy going?"
"I'm going away for a little while Squirt, but I'll be back before you know it." Randall's vice was muffled as he squeezed his little Nephew with Alex watching through the door.
"Why do you have to go? I don't want you to go forget about me." Rex began to cry.
"Rex I swear I'll never forget about, you not ever. I'll he home soon, I promise."
"Where are you going?"
"J-just on a little trip with these people to, umm…" Randall froze he didn't know what to say. "Just on a little trip to try and…" Randall let out a sigh. "Just on a trip, but I promise I'll come back soon."
"Boggs it was five minutes was ten minutes ago, move now." Roz said aggressively toward Randall.
"Goodbye Squirt." Randall let go of Rex and stood up as he walked along the corridor escorted by yellow CDA agents.
Alex grabbed Rex's arm quickly to stop the little monster running after Randall. "Come on kiddo; let's go see your mommy." Rex just froze as the image of his uncle faded in front of his eyes. Alex's face became soft trying to hide the same sorrow that Rex had. She bent down to his level and looked into his and Randall's matching eyes. "I'll miss him too Rex, but he'll be home soon. If he made you a promise, he'll keep it." Alex placed her hand on Rex's shoulder and guided him back into his mother's room. Alex looked over her shoulder again to see the deserted corridor of where her Randy had left.
Randall walked into the reception of the hospital, accompanied by Mike and Sulley who stood at either side of the Reptilian monster.
"You ok buddy?" Mike said looking up to Randall.
"I'm fine, I'm okay. I don't want…"
"I'm sorry pal, but..."Mike looked up to his friend.
"Were not pressing charges remember buddy. And what you did for that little girl. I think you redeemed yourself."
"You really think that's enough Sullivan?" Roz's voice came suddenly towards the three monsters.
"Well, yeah." Sulley said softly.
"He's still a criminal, but."
"BUT?" All three of the monsters said in sync towards the slug.
"Well, let's just say you're not going to normal jail." Roz crossed her arms.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Randall yelled letting his temper get the better of him. "What's that supposed to mean? You gonna stick me in solitary confinement forever? Stick me in a place where the sun doesn't exist and leave me there to rot? What the hell do you mean?" Randall shook a little as he felt the pain in his head he narrowed his eyes and grinded his teeth.
Randall felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked at it but it didn't match Sulley or Mikes, it was small and reptilian along with a shinny scar on its wrist. Alex stood behind him and cracked one of her smiles which caused Randall to calm a little with her there. He took hold of her arms on his shoulder and squeezed it tightly.
"What do you mean Roz? Where's he going?" Sulley said trying to defend his new friend.
"It's clear that Mr. Boggs needs medical help, so we were going to enrol him in a rehabilitation program to help him. The course is about eleven months without seeing friends and family. But if he came out, rehabilitated, that would equal no court, no charges and a new life. He would be left off from the services in helping the little girl."
Everyone starred wide eyed until Randall broke into a smile and pulled Alex into his arms and held her tight letting out a laugh. He was going to get the life he wanted. He could be with his Angel and family. He could be happy.
"You mean… I'm…"
Roz nodded seriously. "You're free as long as you complete the course and promise that you won't turn into a psycho again. We need to be going Now!" Roz slithered to the door and awaited Randall to follow her.
Randall pulled Alex in closer and kissed her forehead softly. "I'll be home before you know it." He whispered
Alex his head down into a true kiss that seemed to slowdown time, something blissful and something they wished was forever. "And I'll be waiting. We'll all be waiting for you to come home."
"Boggs!"
Randall let Alex go as he looked over to Roz who was growing impatient. Sulley suddenly patted him on the shoulder and looked over to Randall. He held his hand out and Randall shook it in a friendly way. "There's a place at the factory waiting for you also if you want it." Sulley let out a smile.
"Getting your own back with me picking up the garbage Sulley?" Randall said as he cracked a devilish smile back at his large friend.
"No I was thinking since your ambitious in your life. I thought a CEO partnership might be better for you, since let's face it you're not one for making kids laugh." Sulley Chuckled.
Randall chuckled with him and nodded to Sulley's offer. This was definitely his lucky day. He then looked over to a small green monster that stood there quietly which Randall thought was an impossibility.
"See ya soon Randy!" Mike said sombrely.
"Thanks Mike, for helping me, you really are a friend I should have stuck with."
"Likewise pal, thanks for saving my neck earlier."
They shook hands and Randall then turned and walked out of the doors to a car that was waiting for him. He looked back and waved with both of his right arms. The other monsters waved back at their departed friend.
Alex let out a whimper and Sulley placed his hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her, she looked at him and smiled softly then back to Randall who was already in the car that was speeding down the road.
Randall looked out of the window to see a light dusting of snow that was slowly thawing with the morning sun that was shining directly at him. He smiled as he saw the passing monsters and chuckled inwardly to himself. No more hiding, no more running.
Randall smiled openlyand thought again a life with Angel, a life with Rex and Charlotte, a good new job he could look forward to but best of all no more Randall…
At least Randall got his happy ending yey!
