Chapter Thirteen A fresh start

Out side we all jumped into Al's old junk heap of a car. "Oh, honey! Your head, it's been shot. Are you alright?" Candy had noticed my gunshot wound to my front frond. "Don't worry honey, it's nothing serious. I'll tell you all about it later." She frowned and buckled her seat belt. I hopped in the back with Candy and Marvin. Randall and Deigo climbed in the front and we shot off down the street.

I looked back out the rear window. I couldn't believe it. Cops had come from nowhere as we made our get away. I knew we had been set up, but by who? I looked over at Marvin again. "Marvin, please. If you know anything about a set up, please tell us. We won't do anything about it, it's too late for that." He looked at me for a moment and then spoke up. "Yeh, ok. That guy you called Mr. Green, he was working undercover. His name was Michael Wazowski. He was sent undercover to catch "Big" Al Waternoose. The cops had him wired the whole time so they could keep up with what was going on. They were supposed to move in when Al got there, I don't know what took them so long. I didn't want to say anything in the warehouse because I thought Mikey was still alive and I didn't want him getting killed. That's all I know." I smiled at the young kid and smiled. I reached into my wallet. "Thanks, Marvin." I pulled a hundred out of my wallet and handed it to him. "This is for what you've been through today, ok. And for that information."

The car screamed to a stop. Marvin got out of the car and started walking down the street. Then Deigo turned around and looked at me. "I'll be right back. I have to go get something."

"Sure." He stepped out of the car and ran into the building. The cops had no idea where we were so I didn't worry. I looked over at Candy. "You okay honey?" She smiled and leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm just anxious for this to end."

Randall turned around and looked at her. "It will be soon. If Deigo can get his tail back in the car." Candy just giggled at Randall's comment. He leaned forward and turned on the radio. * I dial it in and tune the station. They talk about the U.S. inflation. I understand just a little. No comprende--it's a riddle.

I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican radio.

I wish I was in Tiajuana. Eating barbequed iguana. I'd take requests on the telephone. I'm on a wavelength far from home. I feel a hot wind on my shoulder. I dial it in from south of the border. I hear the talking of the dj. Can't understand just what does he say?*

The song fizzled out and a female voice came on the air. "A police raid on an old abandoned ware house today has left three criminals dead. One of them believed to be underground crime lord, Albert Waternoose. One police officer was found dead, and another is missing. Officer Michael Wazowski will be laid to rest this Tuesday at Monstropolis cemetery. He leaves a wife and two sons." * CLICK* Randall had enough of the news. All of us had, we had lived it. Just then Deigo appeared outside the door of the building with another monster beside him.

She was covered with soft pink scales. She had bright orange eyes and blonde hair. On the tips of her fingers were sharp claws with freshly dried red paint. On her tail was a streak of deep blue color. It took me a moment to realize it was Lizzy. They walked over to the car. "Heh, since we're running off to the human world from the cops I thought Lizzy should come with me." I just smiled and nodded. "Sure, we need somebody to fill Marvin's seat."

She giggled and climbed in the back seat of the car with me and Candy. Just as Deigo had closed his door we could hear a police siren whipping around the corner behind us. "Buckle up kids! Cause' daddy's putting the pedal to the medal!" Randall floored the old automobile and we shot down the street. The little squad car stayed right behind us.

Randall drove the car around the corner and did a 360. The cop car flew right by us and we sped of toward Monsters Inc. No more cops fallowed us to the building. It was pretty uneventful. I got to enjoy a little casual conversation for the first time in a while. Finally we arrived in front of the Monsters Inc. building. Randall knew it was locked so he rammed the car through the front doors. "Woh! Where'd you learn to drive, Mr. Daredevil!" Lizzy was pretty freaked out.

We all hopped out of the car and started running down the hall. In the distance the all too familiar sound of sirens rang through the air. "We gotta' get going, and fast!" Randall pointed down a hall. "This way! Come on, come on!" We followed him down the hallway to a big open room. It was full of desks, papers, and most importantly, a way out. Randall grabbed a folder on a desk and opened it. He smiled at what he found. He pulled out a little card. "Miami, anyone?" We all smiled as he ran the card through the slot. I looked at Candy. "Look's like we made it." She smiled. With a loud clang a bright red door was set into its frame. Deigo threw it open and every body started running through it. I grabbed the bag and threw it to Candy. "I'll be just a sec!" I closed the door and reached into my pocket and pulled out a small ball of C4. I placed it on the door and placed my back up detonator in it. I set it and ran through the door. We ran out of the screaming kids room and into the human world.
