The monster walked down the darkened hallway, baton in one hand, gun in the other, keys in the other and the fourth hand was left empty. He glared at each inmate he passed down the hall. Finally, he came to the last cell in the hall. Inside was a gray spider-like monster. He put his hands on the bars.

"You're releasing me? I've been behaving nicely." The monster said hopefully.

"You got yourself some visitors." The jail guard said.

The monster's face fell, but he was still excited to have visitors.

The jail guard left the three visitors behind.

"Ah, Randall!" Waternoose said happily. "I knew you'd come to bail me out! Tell me, what has the CPA done to my factory?" Randall didn't respond, he just glared at his former boss. "Look, Randall, I'm sorry it had to turn out this way. I never planned to get caught, and if I had known that would have happened, I would have never let you be part of my plan. You're not here to get me out, aren't you?"

"Got that right." Randall said, not hiding the annoyance from his voice. He wanted to tell Waternoose all about his banishment, the factory take over, but he decided to cut to the chase. "I've heard you banished the most dangerous monsters. Where are they?"

"The factory." Waternoose said.

"We tried that. There was nothing." Randall said.

Waternoose banged his fist against the cell bars in anger. "They didn't remodel the factory, did they?"

"Yeah. They remodeled a factory that hasn't been used for years." Randall said sarcastically.

"No! Not the old one! The new one!" Waternoose said.

"How should I know?" Randall retorted. "I've been banished for years!"

"They banished you? If anything, I thought it would be me." Waternoose said.

"Think again." Randall said, getting more and more annoyed. "Just tell me where those banished monsters are!"

"In my office, in the storage closet. It's way in the back and it's dark, so it's hard to see. I've always kept that closet door locked. Unless it's changed, the key will be in my desk." Waternoose said.

"Perfect." Randall said.

"Just one thing." Waternoose said. "Those monsters are locked away because they're nearly impossible to handle. You can't control them. Don't get into something you can't handle."

Randall ignored the warning, and started to leave.

"Just one more thing." Waternoose said. He noticed Celia. "Why are you with them? I never expected that."

"Blackmail." Celia said.

The three walked off, heading for the door. The jail guard was standing next to it. He nodded as each monster left, but Celia slowed down to face the guard. She was in the perfect place to rat on Randall. He would be in a cell of his own in a matter of seconds. She was sure the other inmates had heard the conversation between Waternoose and Randall, so finding a witness wouldn't be hard.

"Celia, are you coming?" Randall asked, "I thought you said you wanted to get home to visit with your fiancé."

Celia walked past the guard. She couldn't rat on Randall- she had the feeling he would escape from jail.

It was very dark outside. The clouds were covering the moon and stars, making a perfect setting for the jail.

"Celia, I've had a change of heart," Randall said.

"Really?" Celia asked flatly. Her snakes gave a small hiss.

"It was mean of me to blackmail you. I was using you and not treating you well, so I'm going to let you go tomorrow," Randall promised.

Celia glanced to Fungus, who gave her the same confused look. Randall had to be lying.

"What's the catch?" Celia asked.

"Catch? No catch. Just tomorrow, when you go to work, be sure to go to Sullivan's office and find the door. Make up some excuse to get it out of the closet and get him to put it outside. If you do that, then I promise you will never hear from me again," Randall said.

Celia remembered Waternoose's warning about the monsters inside of the door, but she wanted to get away from Randall. She didn't even know if he was lying.

"What if I don't?" Celia asked.

"Then I'll still blackmail you until I get my hands on that door," Randall said.

Celia's snakes gave a loud hiss. "Fine."

Randall put out a hand, and Celia took it.

"So, it looks like tomorrow will be your last day."


Dun dun dun! Is it foreshadowing, or do I simply like to end chapters dramatically? I don't even know! :P Please review!
