Devoted Me 2 Chapter 3
And no one knew his breed. When Kyle saw the bag of muffins, he sniffed louder than ever. Kyle growled, licking his lips hungrily. He raced up to Gru and bit his hand when he reached the bag. CHOMP-CHOMP-CHOMP!
"AAAAAHHHH! KYLE, NO! BAD DOG! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! SIT! ARGH! MY MUFFINS!" screamed Gru. Suddenly, the TV came on behind his back. Dr Nefario was on TV. "Gru!" he called. Dr Joseph Albert Nefario was an old scientist who resembled like a stereotypical mad scientist who is mildly overweight. He was always seen with his lab coat, gloves, and trademark goggles, and he wore either pants or pyjama bottoms with a plaid pattern. His hair, what little there is of it, was longish and faintly unruly. ''Ahhh, Dr Nefario" said Gru, warmly. "I know how you must be feeling. I, too, have a great disappointment from the beginning" Dr Nefario looked woebegone as he spoke.
"What? But…" Gru protested. "It's the jam and jelly flavour. No one wants to buy it. And a good reason why. This will make all the other villains look . . . lame" Dr Nefario continued. "I'll be right down there!" said Gru, nodding his head. He went into his underground lab that was right under his house where his army of minions were working. The Minions were small, yellow, cylindrical creatures with either one or two eyes, frequently, they spoke in an incomprehensible language, called Minionese, occasionally switching to English.
They were much childish in some ways, yet they seemed to be very intelligent in certain aspects. They were fiercely loyal to Gru and Dr. Nefario and extremely eager to please, willingly helping with any evil plans, but at the same time they were friendly and fun-loving. Despite being relatively simple-minded, they were capable of building weapons, operating those weapons, using computers, and even driving. They expressed themselves mostly through actions, not words: their "language", Minionese, was fairly basic, they spoke in strange jabber combined with various human languages. Hence, their language was incomprehensible to most humans, though they did understand English. It was also possible to isolate elements of Japanese and Spanish from their speech patterns.
Minions loved bananas and apples (or "bapples", as they called them), and the mere sight of one of these fruits would result in complete chaos. One of the Minions was reading a seclude when another one yanked a banana out of his grasp and shoved it into his mouth. "Hey-o! Me banana!" said the former minion. "Mmm-mmm!" said the latter minion, through a mouthful of bananas, shaking his head, shrugging and lying at the same time. The minions passed an orange to one another. They were squishing fruit into barrels. One of the minions dunked his head into the pile or fruit and stuck some to his head and started singing and dancing. Another ordered him to stop and get back to work. As the fruit headed minion climbed out of the barrel, he accidently slipped and fell, screaming as he went. SPLASH! He landed inside one of the Jam Testing Area.
A series of contraption push the fruit through different containers and onto the conveyor belt, where it was automatically poured into jars. The very same minion was finally out of the machine and got his head stuck in a jar. Gru arrived in the lab as the Minions erupted in cheers. "Hello, everybody! Looking good, Kevin. That's my Billy boy! What up, Larry?" he said, "Dave, listen up please!''. "Beeble" said Dave in minionese. "Ah, Dr. Nefario!" said Gru, "So, how's the jam doing?". "I developed a new formula which allowed me to get every known kind of berry into one flavor of jelly" explained Dr Nerfario. Gru picked up one jar, removed the lid, and dipped his finger in it. As he took one slurp, he suddenly felt very sick! ''ARRRGH!'' he spluttered, "That is good. Love…the….flavor of…that! AARGH!". "It's disgusting, isn't it" asked Dr Nefario.
"No, no! Oh, we're making great progress!" lied Gru, he turned to his minions, "Here, try some of this" he said. One minion ate the jelly and gagged with his cheeks swelling. He offered it another minion to try who poured the jelly on his tongue, ate it, but felt the bad flavour and tried to wipe it away with his hand, "BLAAARGH!". He threw the jar down on the floor and ran away, screaming and yelling. "OK, just because everybody hates it, doesn't mean it's not good" said Gru. Meanwhile at the AVL headquarters, Lucy was in the locker room looking at the picture of her with her daughters and Lupe. "Don't worry, girls, momma's gonna home soon once this mission is done" she whispered.
Suddenly, a female voice called out. "There you are, Agent Wilde!" said Valerie Da Vinci, who was the leader of the Anti-Villain League. She was a very skinny woman with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and a big pointed nose. She wore a purple pencil dress with a blazer and high heels of the same colour. Valerie was also known for being a grouchy, bad-tempered, and unsatisfied woman. Next to her was a very-large, obese, brown haired man with a brown striped suit, striped brown pants, a white collar shirt, and a blue necktie. His name was Silas Ramsbottom. ''I want you to meet Silas Ramsbottom. He was chosen to be the first boss whilst I'm second in command" said Valerie. "Ah, yes. Lucy Wilde," said Silas, "Pleasure to meet the daughter of your parents. I wish they'd be here right now".
"Yes, sir. And so do I. They mean a lot to me" chuckled Lucy, "Believe me, I'm sure they're watching over me right now". "Yes, I bet they are. Even my family are watching over me" nodded Silas. He showed Lucy the mission about the stolen laboratory from the Arctic Circle and the target with Gru on it. It showed Gru's first name being Felonious Gru and him being born on 28th September 1960, thus making him 56 years of age in the present year 2016.
