Megamind paced back and forth in the living room. It was around 8:30 pm, and Roxanne should have been home already. The 'what if's' began to run through his head. 'What if something happened to her? What if she is hurt, or had an accident?' It kept flooding his mind and he couldn't bare it anymore till finally he grabbed his coat and headed for the door. But the door bell rang before he could open it. Two police men stood in front of him. One had sandy blond hair, the other red. They were both about average in size and appeared to be around mid 20's. The sandy blond one had a piercing in one ear and a scar just above his eye brow, creeping its way towards his lips.
"We are so sorry to be the bearer of such bad news." started the sandy blond one. "Your wife is missing." Megamind was distraught. "What do you mean missing!" he screamed. The police officers trembled a bit. Then the red head spoke. "We had a 911 call, but no one answered. It took a while to find where the call had been taken from, but when we got there, the only thing we found was Mrs. Ritchi's car."
"You mean Mrs. Megamind's car right?" said the sandy blond one.
"Right."
"What do you mean you only found the car?! Where was Roxanne?!" demanded Megamind. "We don't know. She wasn't there. It looked as though someone had drug her off somewhere." said the sandy blond.
"Dragged her off?! Just take me to the car." commanded Megamind.
The room was very small. A 5ft long bed and a toilet was about all it could fit (the bed being nothing but a thin stained mattress with a small stained pillow). The walls were stone and hundreds upon hundreds of lines crossed one right after the other, in sets of fives, as if many had counted their days in this cage. No window. The only light that shown was the one outside the door, peeking through it's cracks. There was a damp and moldy smell to the place, making Roxanne's stomach turn in disgust.
"Where am I? What is this place?" she asked aloud. No one answered. Roxy stood and fallowing the light, she stuck her hand out, reaching for it, but she had only taken a few steps when she reached the wooden door. Grabbing at the handle, it would not turn. Peeking through the cracks in the doors, trying to make anything out of where she was, a figure moved in front, blocking the light from coming through. Roxanne backed away form the door. She wasn't sure what to do.
The door opened with a long creaking sound, as the rusty bolts in the door rubbed against the screws. "So. You're awake." The voice was sly and cold. A tall bulky figure stood in front of the door. Roxanne couldn't make out his facial features. The light behind was too bright, and shadowed his face, making her squint horribly.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"No one particular. Just someone who is going to fix you're little problem."
"What little problem?" asked Roxanne annoyed.
He pointed to her stomach. "That abomination growing inside your stomach."
Roxanne lowered her hand from her eyes and touched her stomach. Her breath caught in her lungs and she couldn't breath. "What do you want with my baby?" she asked.
"I want it destroyed."
"But why? What the hell are you on?!"
The stranger chuckled. "That baby, is Megamind's baby, when it should have been Metro Man's."
Something clicked inside Roxanne's brain. "Oh wait a minute. You're one of those obsessed Metro Man weiro's. Ok, for the last time, Metro Man was not my type. Megamind is my husband, and will continue to be so. And not one of you weirdo's are going to stop that. So let me go and let me get back to my husband, where I belong."
The man sneered at Roxanne. "No. I don't think so." Reaching into his front pants pocket, the man pulled a syringe out.
"You see this?" he asked. "The liquid that had contained this, the liquid that is now creeping inside every vain inside you, contained a poison. Such a poison that will make you sick, there is no dought about that, but in the long run, you will be fine. As for your child however, fortunately it wont be." The light in the other room went out, leaving them in pitch black.
Roxanne grabbed her stomach. The babe began to kick widely, and Roxanne fell to her knees.
He spoke again. "It wont be that fast. But within a day or two, it should be vanquished. And you and Metro Man can be together. All I need to to is get close to Megamind on this search for you and when he least expects it, I will kill him. Then there will be nothing standing in the way of you two."
He kneeled before Roxanne and ran a finger through her hair. "Wont you be so thankful for that in the future. You will see. You will see." Roxanne looked up at him, tears streaming down her face.
"Your insane." she said through gritting teeth. "And when Megamind finds me, and he will, I will not let him hold back."
"Believe me Roxa-roo. He wont be alive to see it." He stood and walked to the door.
Roxanne grunted in pain, when a sudden realization came to her. Something familiar. "Wait. What did you just call me?" she asked.
He did not answer. Grabbing for the door knob, he took a step outside, and the spot light switched on again. The door opened to a narrow concrete hallway. The door shut, and Roxanne was in darkness again. She launched herself at the door and banged her fists upon it. "Let me out you Bastard! Let me go!" She heard laughing coming down the hallway and a door slammed shut. Roxanne felt nauseous and she threw up what she had ate the night before. She shrank back into the corner of the room holding her stomach, and slid down the wall to her rear. She was so afraid. The thing was, she was sure she was not thinking strait. 'No. It couldn't have been him. He's still locked up. And he's definitely not bulky like that.' Roxanne thought to herself. But the Roxa-roo. No one had ever called her that besides him. And yet, Roxanne had sworn, in the flash of light, she saw a lock of red hanging from the mans head.
