A/N: Sorry it took long to update!

I woke up to Randall shaking me. The spider silk had worn off, and I brushed the remaining silk off of my dress.

"Time to get up. And, it's time for Sullivan to meet his end." Randall grinned.

I yawned. "Can we get some breakfast before we bring him to his end?"

He frowned and growled at me. I was hoisted up to my feet, and we walked.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To town. We'll get you your breakfast and we'll deal with Sullivan after." Randall replied.

"Wait, you're actually taking me for breakfast?" I asked.

Randall stuttered. "Well, you- I mean, you're...going to need it for energy, and for Sullivan's demise."

"Okay, now you're starting to sound like a Saturday morning cartoon villain. If I'm going to be stuck with you for a while, at least talk normally." I said, rolling my eyes.

I expected him to snap something back at me, but he just nodded. This whole hostage thing was not what I expected. Randall treated me normally and I even forgot that he was the jerk he suddenly became. Anyway, I hid in an alley while he bought breakfast for me.

He came back and brought me a weird slimy goop on a plate, with a cup of coffee. I just drank the coffee and he ate the goop. I don't even like coffee, but I was really hungry.

"So, how are we going to bring Sullivan down?" I asked.

"You seem very calm about all of this." Randall said.

I shrugged. "I'm not. I just think I have a right to know how we're doing this."

"It's...It's none of your business." Randall said.

I glanced up at him as I sat on the ground, and shrugged. He gave a frustrated sigh and looked at me.

"Okay, look, we're going to make it look like you somehow got out of the factory. Then, I'll come as the great hero, holding you in my arms. You'll be in a terrible state and we'll prove that Sullivan is being careless. Simple, really." Randall explained.

"That it the worst plan I've ever heard." I said, shaking my head.

He blinked. "What? Why?"

"That's your plan?...I think you're smarter than that." I said.

"You do?" he asked.

I saw where this was going. Randall was more than just a creepy maniac. All he wanted was attention. From the looks of things, Sulley was stealing his thunder.

I sighed. "You know, you-"

He shushed me.

Then, he turned invisible and pulled me against the wall. I looked and saw that Waternoose was on the roof above us. He looked around and shook his head. Then, he left. Randall sighed with relief and became visible.

"That was too close." hel said, becoming visible.

"Okay, you want to tell me what's going on?" I asked.

He shushed me. "Not so loud, okay?"

"No, I demand to know what you're up to! Tell me or I'll scream." I said, glaring at him.

"Okay, okay! Look, Waternoose is only doing this to get his stupid company back. You don't remember a lot of things, but I'll tell you as much as I can."

"Waternoose wants his company back? What company?" I asked.

"He used to own Monsters Inc., but things got ugly and he and I were banished. Sullivan is really a good guy." Randall said.

"And, I should believe you because…?"

"You have every reason not to believe me, but trust me when I say that I never wanted to hurt you." he said.

I scoffed at that and shook my head. He did seem truly sincere, but he had already lost my trust.

"I wanted revenge on Sullivan too because he was always better than me at everything. But, I know how much you care about him and Wazowski. So, I won't do anything against them or to you." Randall said.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, doubtingly.

"I don't really know. But, ever since I first saw you come back after all these years, you were too innocent for me to do anything to you. You were kind to me even when you didn't know what I was planning." Randall replied.

He sighed and I could see that he was beating himself up for lying to me.

"If you want to make up for what you've done, you'll take me back to Sullivan and we'll figure out a way to help you." I said.

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. I can't do that."

"Why?"

"Sullivan will never accept me, and I don't blame him either. Plus, there's no stopping Waternoose this time." Randall said.

"No, I promise that he'll take you in. He'll have to hear me out about it. Please?" I asked.

"I thought you couldn't trust me." Randall said.

"I always believe in second chances if the person is willing. Plus, if you're telling the truth, you can't be seen or found by Waternoose. Now, come on, let's find Mike and Sulley." I said.

It took him a while to think about it, but he gave in. He went to a store and bought me a hoodie so I wouldn't be discovered. He took me to a bunch of apartments and knocked on the door of one of them.

"Okay, we're here, but I'm going to be invisible while you go in, okay?" he asked.

"No, Randall. How do you expect them to trust you if you hide yourself? No more secrets, alright?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine, but I won't like it." he said, frustrated.

We waited for someone to answer, and I felt pretty proud of myself for taking charge of my original captor. Randall was a confusing character, but I knew and felt that he was better than how he saw himself.

The door opened and Mike stepped into the doorway. He gasped when he saw the both of us, and called for Sulley.

"Mike, it's me. Don't worry!" I said, smiling at him.

"It's not you I'm worried about, kid." Mike said, glancing at Randall.

"Don't mind him, he's with me." I said, stepping inside the apartment.

Randall shyly followed and Mike closed the door. Sulley came down and was surprised to see us. I explained the situation, and it was difficult to explain Randall's situation.

"How can you trust him? Do you even remember what he tried to do to you?" Sulley asked.

"My memory is a bit blurry, but I remember a lot of what happened then. But, I'm giving him a chance. So should you." I said.

"If Waternoose is out there, he won't stop until he finds us one-by-one." Sulley said.

"Well, then we have to find him, first. What were you guys planning to do first, Randall?" I asked, looking to Randall.

"We planned to get you first, and then he wanted to..."

Mike winced. "Planned to, what?"

Randall looked at me and shook his head. I looked into his eye and tried to tell him with a smile that everything was fine.

"He was going to beat you...badly. You know, so you would look awful when we claimed that Sullivan wasn't taking care of the company." Randall confessed.

"You trust this guy?" Sullivan boomed.

"Kitty...please. I know what I'm doing." I said.

Sulley's anger drained after I called him that, and he calmed down. Mike sided with me in finding Waternoose, which surprised me.

"I have a few things to say to that guy. Plus, I can't wait to see the look on his face when I remind him of how his face looked when that platform went up. Man, I never got a copy of that tape." Mike said, sighing.

"Where could Waternoose be?" I asked Randalll

"Now that we're missing, he's probably at Monsters Inc. It's better if we search there, first. He probably thinks that we're meeting him there." Randall said.

"So, we head over there tonight." Sulley said.

"Right. But, don't you think Boo- I mean, Mary will need a disguise?" Mike asked.

I smiled. "You can call me Boo, if you want. And, I don't need a disguise. It'll just be us and Waternoose and I'm not afraid to stand up to him." I said.

Sulley looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him, and we all agreed on the plan.

"But, when we find him...what'll we do?" Mike asked.

"We'll have to bring him down and return him to the CDA." Sulley said.

"So, it's a plan we all agree on. Let's do it." I said.

Sulley smiled. "That's my girl.'

The three of us hugged and I had forgotten that Randall was there. I saw him, during our hug, hang his head and turn invisible. We finished our hug and I sought to find Randall. He went up on the roof to be alone. I sat next to him and tried to figure out a way to cheer him up.

"I'm sorry that-"

"Don't. It's not your fault. I chose to live the life that I did, and I made my own decisions." Randall said.

"We're going to stop him, Randall. And, I won't let anyone hurt you." I said.

He looked at me and smiled a bit. Then, we both looked out at the sunset and counted the time to execute our mission and find Waternoose.
