This one is mostly talk, but will lead into a turning point in the story....
Chapter 9 Understanding
Kevin had made himself, and Randall, invisible as they trailed back home. When they got there, Kevin went up to his own room and sat Randall on it, placing the covers up to his neck, warming his freezing body. Kevin sat on stool beside, Allen had come up with a couple things such as medicine, soup, cloth, and a bowel of hot water. Kevin placed the cloth in the water, folded it, and placed it on Randall's forehead, which was bleeding.
Kevin: Dad...you....you ok?
Randall: (Cough) Yeah son...I'm...ok...
Randall's voice seemed a bit raspy.....and low.
Kevin: You don't sound like you usually do...
Randall:...Lets just say.....I...was choked a bit...
Kevin:!!!!
Allen: Randall you sure your alright?
Randall: Just....a few cuts....
Randall: But...you could say I probably had lost halve my ectoplasm in that world...
Kevin:....Dad....you think you'll...
Randall force his grin onto his face, making Kevin smile a bit.
Randall: No...I'm, just...weak at the point...
Randall:...You have no idea what I've been through boys...
Kevin:...Nobody seemed to care you were missing...
Randall:.....I guessed that...
Kevin:!!!
Randall:....Son....there's...some things I need to tell you...
Allen:....You want me to...
Randall: No Allen...you can stay...
Allen:...
Kevin: Dad....there's something I need to tell you...
Randall: What?
Kevin: The reason I couldn't get you sooner....is...
Kevin:...Is because I was lied to...
Randall cocked an eye.
Randall: What? Who?
Kevin: Sully...
Randall: Sullivan!
Randall moved up, but then back down from the jolt of pain.
Kevin: Careful dad!
Kevin helps him back down.
Kevin: Your torn up....
Randall: Ehh...Son...has he hurt you!?
Kevin: No...
Randall:.....Ehh...
Randall: (Why did Sullivan do this to me!.....)
Randall: How did you find me?
Kevin explains.
*
Randall: Son......you could be a detective if you wanted to be....
Kevin: Yeah....
Kevin: Why.....why did they hurt you dad?
Randall:......Son...there was something I didn't tell you...
Kevin: What?
Randall: I....for the past day's before the incident...
Randall: I was making a machine...
Randall: One that would stop those blackouts and all...
Randall: It was perfect...
Randall: I spent countless day's on it....
Randall:......
Kevin: What?! That's why they did it!
Randall:....Son....
Randall: All I was doing was making things better for you....
Kevin:???
Randall: Sure it helped the city but...
Kevin:.....
Randall:...But...the machine....extracted scream from a child...
Kevin: What?
Randall:....The kids screams would be extracted..
Allen:....
Randall: They would seem (Cough) a little disoriented...
Randall: But....they would be fine in an hour....
Kevin:...
Randall: But all that changed when the first kid I was going to test it on...
Randall: Was brought in....
Randall:....Sullivan hid her from me...
Randall: Then after a while I found out it was them....
Randall:....Then I chased them..
Randall: I...was so close to winning...
Randall: When that kid betrayed me....
Randall:....With her....Sullivan caught me...
Randall signaled his neck and stomach.
Randall: Then threw me through a door.....
Randall: Which I was almost beaten to death in...
Kevin: They smashed the light.....and the door...
Randall: What?
Allen: Its true....the door's still in the vault...
Randall: Oh...why did they do that if I couldn't even get back.....
Kevin: Dad....
Randall: Honestly son....I was the pawn...
Kevin understood what Randall meant by saying "Pawn"....Kevin had heard Randall call himself that many times...
Kevin: What dad?
Randall:.....If I would have brought the kid back...
Randall: Waternoose would have C.D.A on me...
Randall: He seemed to have been different ever since I was in the lab with him....
Randall: And if I didn't get the kid...well...
Randall: Lets just say this is the result of if I didn't get the kid...
Kevin:.....
Randall: The reason I did this was to get one thing I never got from anyone besides you and Allen....
Randall: Respect....
Kevin couldn't believe how much Randall had been played like a pawn in the whole incident......Kevin could picture as if....the whole plot was placed against him....waiting to stab him in the back.....which it did.....Kevin also knew that Randall didn't seem to get respect from anyone at the company, knowing how he looked each day....miserable. Even as he passed down the street, people wouldn't even give a greeting or a simple "Hello".
Allen:......
Kevin:....Dad....It wasn't fair...
Kevin:...oh why did Sully lie to me!
Randall:....When I get better...
Randall: I'm going to banish him the same, or rather...
Kevin: Dad...your not a killer...
Randall:.....I was thinking of getting back that kid....
Kevin:......Dad....I'll handle this...
Randall: Son? You can't...I have to...
Kevin: Dad...I can't let Sully get away with this!
Kevin: He'll pay for lying...
Randall:....
Allen: So....what do we do?
Kevin:...Allen...you help my dad..
Kevin: I'll....teach Sully and Mike a lesson they wont forget....
Randall smiled at that.
Randall: (That's my boy....)
Kevin: Dad....I'll take care of this.....
Randall: Until I get better son...
Kevin: Ok...
Kevin gets up from the seat he was in....
Kevin: Well...I think I know what to do first....
Kevin went over to Allen.
Allen: So...you want me to umm..
Kevin: Yeah....dad....
Randall slowly lifted the top part of his body....
Randall: Yeah...son...I'll...be fine...
Kevin nodded, and went downstairs....
Randall:...
Allen: He's a great kid....honestly Ra....Mr. Boggs..
Randall sat his head back on the pillow.
Randall: Allen....just call me Randall...
Allen: What in the world have you been through?
Allen: Like you've been through the shredder twice then skewered....
Randall: Eh...I'm....
Randall: I was almost dead when I finally got out of that house I was put into...
Allen:......
Randall looked up at him, smiling.
Randall: Thanks for taking care of my son while I was....away..
Allen: Yeah...

Kevin was walking toward Monsters Inc. Inside, he had mixed feelings. Happy with the return of his dad, sorrow from his condition, and anger towards Sully and Mike.....
Kevin: ( I'll start with Mike first!)
Kevin had a plan on his mind. Make them suffer as well....Let them feel pain first. Kevin had seen how Randall's life had gone by his expressions when he got home from work everyday....and many other ways. Kevin had an idea of what to do with Mike...
Kevin: (Lets see how he feels about his girl not loving him....)
Kevin had a good plan....get Mike's girl.....and he'd be left with just himself...
Kevin: (First Wazowski hehehe...)
Kevin stopped at a store labeled "Flowers and Cocotries".
Kevin: Hmm...
He fiddled with his pockets and found he did have some money.
Kevin: Good idea....
He went inside.
*
When Kevin was at Monsters Inc.'s front door, he had flowers in his top right hand, and a box of chocolates in his left. He had a good plan set.........
Kevin: (Time to put on my charm).....
He walked in.......Kevin had seen that Celia liked him as he was not like his father....but today.....
*
Inside he noticed that Celia was the only there....answering call's.
Kevin: (Perfect)....
He walked over to her. But the sound of his four feet tapping the floor of the nearly empty room alerted her to turn around. She gasped as she saw Kevin was right at her desk.
Kevin: Hi Celia...
Celia: Oh! Kevin....uh...hi...
Celia:...What's all this?
Kevin: You know....
Kevin: Ever since my dad left....I am feeling kind of lonely...
Kevin: No one to care for ya and all...
Kevin: So I thought that....well...
Kevin: You and me could umm....spend time together....
Celia: Well actually...
Kevin placed his left hands on the desk and turned his head to Celia, smiling.
Kevin: You know....I could always ask Wazowski about why my dad's been gone for a while...
Kevin: I could do that in my spare time.....
Celia:!!!
Celia didn't know that Randall was back....not did anyone else....which made Kevin's plan easy. Celia did know that if Kevin was to talk to Mike about Randall.....Mike would probably get hurt if he said the wrong thing.....so....she had a choice. One, spend time with Kevin and keep him busy.....or two, let him kill Mike after finding out that him and Sully banished Randall.....
Celia: Well....I....
Kevin: Come on Celia...please?
Celia knew she might not like it.....but she had too...
Celia: I......ok Kevin....I will...
Kevin: Great! I'll meet you after your shifts done....
Celia: But...you...work tonight...
Kevin: Nope...I'm off today....tonight...
Celia:...Ok......
Kevin: Oh...
He pushed the two items toward Celia.
Kevin: These are for you....
Kevin they jumped off, since his first set of feet were attached to the bottom of the desk to increase his height, and then started for the door, waving bye to Celia.
Kevin: ( Ha! First...done....)
He walked out as Celia starred at the items with thought.
Celia: ( Guess....he's not like Randall.....)
Celia:......
Celia took off her head set and heads over to the lounge to get some coffee. Just then, Mike came out of the Scare Floor hall's and goes over to Celia's desk.
Mike: Oh Smoot...???
Mike opened his eye, from trying to do that....eye thing he does, and saw Celia gone.
Mike: Hmph...huh?
Mike could see the flowers and chocolates.
Mike:???? "To Celia"?...
Mike: I didn't get these...
Voice: Hey Mike!
Mike turns, seeing Peterson near him.
Mike: Yeah?
Peterson: Were having trouble with station six....
Mike: Oh...ok...
Mike head's over to the Scare Floors, still looking at the gifts. Then...uncloaking from behind a plotted plant was a chuckling Kevin....
Ohh! What's Kevin have up his sleeves? Will he take Celia from Mike? And what about Sully? And what will happen when Randall gets better? Anyway, you know about Randall making the machine just to get respect? Its true you know. Faintly, I know more about Randall than those guy's at Pixar.
