Chapter 17
Megamind hunched over his work bench and assembled his sixth D-Gun under Voss' watchful gaze.
"Ten, time to go back. Only six, Mr. Davis won't be pleased how slow this is going."
Megamind scowled. "Well unless your boss is going to take me back to my lair for the blue prints that's how it's going to be."
Voss took out the handcuffs. "Time to go back, put the tools down. Put your hands behind your back."
Megamind huffed in annoyance and set the tools down.. This was worse than being in jail. He put his hands behind him and waited.
Voss cuffed his hands and tied the blindfold securely over his eyes. He took a firm grip on Megamind's arm and led him out to the car.
The two men put the finished D-Guns into a case then followed them to the car. All to soon they arrived back at the manor.
Voss took Megamind back to his room and freed him. He closed the door and left him alone.
Megamind rubbed his wrists then glanced around. A tray with a plate covered with a warming cover, a pepsi and a glass of ice sat on a table. The stereo and Dvd player he'd asked for had been added.
At least they'd left him some supper. He was starving. He sat down and took off the cover. A nice, thick steak with potatos and baby carrots.
The one vegetable Megsmind refused to touch were carrots. The nasty things weren't good enough to feed pigs. He devoted his attention the steak and potatos. Both were excellent and deserved his full attention.
Stomach full, he stood and walked over to the bed. It was then he saw the new pair of navy blue pajamas laid neatly on it. It was a bit weird, Shaking his head, he went into the bathroom. A long, leisurely hot shower would feel good.
Meanwhile Davis examined the six D-Guns that Voss had brought back. "Go get him. I wish to have a word with him about his slow resullts and I want to hear the reason from him."
Voss nodded and left. He tapped once on the door to Megsmind's room then opened it. The room was empty, but the hiss of the shower made his location clear. Voss walked across the room and knocked on the bathroom door. "Finish up in there. Hurry up, Mr. Davis wants to see you."
Crators, couldn't he even take a shower in peace? The banging sounded a second time even louder. "I'm coming, don't knock the door down!"
Voss moved away from the door and sat down to wait.
Megamind rinsed off, turned off the water and stepped out. He dried himself off with a deliciously soft and fluffy towel. Wrapping the towel around his waist, he left the bathroom.
Voss was sitting in a chair waiting. "Get some clothes on, hurry up. The maid all ready took the dirty dishes and clothes. The nightwear will have to do."
Megamind scowled. "Be glad to, when you're on the other side of the door unless you plan to hang around and watch."
Voss chuckled then stood and left. He pulled the door shut behind him.
Grumbling, Megamind undid the towel and dropped it on the floor. He slipped quickly into the sleepweat. The pants were a little loose, but once he tightenong the drawsting fixed that. He went to the door and stepped out into the hall.
Voss was waiting and he escorted Megamind to Mr. Davis' office without saying a word.
Davis sat behind his desk. "I'm not pleased with the scant amount of the guns. I expected better of you."
Megamind set his jaw. "I can't do much about it. Without my diagrams I have to put the guns together by memory. It will take more time and I have to make sure it's done right. You don't want one to blow up. If that happens it's good-bye lab."
Davie studied Megamind with cold eyes. "I don't like excuxes, but I'll accept it this time. Return to your room. There has been a slight change in plans for tomorrow and you'll need your rest."
Megamind nodded curtly, turned on his heel and went back to his room. He slammed the door and dropped into a chair then clicked on the TV.
Someone knocking on the door woke Megamind. He glanced at the clock, seven. It was getting annoying, didn't any one sleep in around here? "Who is it?"
"It's Sarah, I've brought your breakfast. May I come in?"
Megamind sighed, obviously he wasn't going to get anymore sleep. "Yeah, come in."
A pretty, young woman entered the room. "Good morning, Mr. Megamind." She went to the table and set the tray down.
"Mr. Davis has asked me to tell you he expects you in his office at eleven and not to be late. I will bring clean clothes when I return for your dishes." She curtsied and left, closing the door.
Megamind sighed. He wondered what Davis wanted now. He found he could only choke down a couple bites of the food. He settled for just coffee instead. At least they'd sent a small pot. Rubbing his jaw, he felt stubble. He could fix that, he'd seen a razor. Taking his coffee, he went into the bathroom to clean up.
An hour later there was a knock on the door. "Come in, Sarah."
Sarah came in with a bundle of clothes, it was another pair of jeans and button down black shirt. "Here you go, sir." She laid the clothes on the bed and went to get the dishes. She frowned when she saw the barely touched food. "Was your breakfast not to your liking, sir?"
Megamind shook his head. "I'm sure it was fine. I guess I just wasn't hungry." He glanced at the clothes. "I'd prefer to have my own things back."
Sarah looked nervous. "I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Davis was very specific." She quickly picked up the tray and left.
Megamind shut the door with a sigh. It was obvious Davis was making sure that it was understood who was in charge. He reluctantly put on the clean clothes then sat down to think. He wondered what Davis had planned for him today. Time seemed to drag, but he headed to Davis' office at five minutes to eleven. When it was exactly the time he was supposed to be there, he knocked on the door.
"Come in, Megamind." Davis smiled at him when he entered. "Very good, I like puntuality."
It was then Megamind noticed his ever present bodyguards were not there. No sooner then he noticed he was seized from behid. IT happened so fast he had no time to struggle. An strong arm clamped around his thoat and one arm was pinned behind his back.
"Do it," Davis ordered. "No sense in wasting time."
Megamind's upper arm was wiped with something cold and damp and there was a painful prick of a needle. They were injected him with something again! Before he could protest, the world went black.
Oh no, this is so late and I am so sorry. Real life has been kicking my butt! R/R please!
