It was morning and Megan was determining to make this mission a success. Right now, she needs to settle things with Johnny at least. She hurried into the factory and saw many monsters getting ready to kidnap the children. She saw George, nodding her head sadly at him not to do this. George wasn't in the mood to kidnap humans but how else would he keep his job or collect screams for the canisters.
"Megan, what a surprise", shouted Johnny.
"Mr. Worthington we need a talk!"
"Oh I'm sure this talk won't take so long."
Megan grabbed Johnny by the hands, eager to talk about what happened last night. "Look sir, I'm begging you to NOT kidnap humans like this it's wrong and you know it."
"Relax Miss Secretary, I'm sure collecting humans is far more better than laughter."
"But this is inhumane! I demand to change this at once!"
"Megan, remember what I said", Johnny sneered with ambitions on his mind.
"Yes sir", Megan sighed with sadness.
"By the way, would you like to see Boggs's latest invention?"
Megan did not like the sound of this, but perhaps it was the only way to gather information so she can inform Sulley. They went into Randall's old hideout area. It was all cob up with webs. Knowing this area hasn't been visited for years, it was quite damp and full of dust. Then they spotted Randall, fixing up the scream extractor. Fungus was sitting in the area, looking terrified at Randall. "Behold my friends! The Scream Extractor 2.0! It's even powerful than my old scream extractor. Observe!"
Randall set the coordinates directly towards Fungus. "You're not going to… suck me all in… are you Randall", Fungus asked nervously. "I might", said Randall.
The scream extractor suddenly shoves instantly into Fungus's mouth. Violently collecting the scream, Fungus passed out. "Haha! It works! The Scream Extractor 2.0 is up and ready sir!"
Excellent Boggs. By the time night falls, we'll have a cage full of children getting their screams taken away. Brilliant huh Meg?"
"I should say eccentric", said Megan with curiosity, willing to punch the machine.
It was night and the entire group was in front of the factory. All of them, Mike, Celia, Megan, Prim, George, Boo, and Amanda. Mike slowly unlocked the door, hoping there isn't anyone there. The main hall hummed quietly, as if it was a tractor. The party tip toed, not wanting to sound the alarms. "Any noise that can be heard can instantly turn on the alarm so be very quiet", whispered Mike.
They were at the security room, where the entire factory was being captured. "Okay, I'll search for what really happened", said Megan. "Perhaps we'll see the evidence that it was Randall and Johnny were the purpose of this crime."
Megan searched instantly on the day both Mike and Sulley were ambushed. The monsters and human saw Mike being picked up by the henchmen. Plus, Randall was there stuffing Mike with the toxic chemical. "Oh my gosh", said Celia. "My poor Googley Bear." Celia covered Amanda's eye and hugged her husband with worries. "Oh Celia, I know how much you mean. That's how I passed out", muttered Mike.
Then Megan saw the other camera, where Sulley was. She saw both Sulley and Johnny talking for a few seconds, until Johnny punched Sulley onto the wall. Megan gasped; saw how violently Johnny punched Sulley. After seeing the whole thing, Megan's heart raced like a race car. "So that's why they lied. About his death. Maybe Sulley is alive for sure! But where is he?"
"C'mon, there's no time to waste", said Boo. Everyone tip toed out of the room. Without noticing, Randall was spying on them. "Wait until I do my next move", he said. He gave out a small evil laughter and disappeared.
They were at the room Sulley was violently close to death. Megan spotted area, with a drop of blood and Mike's access card. "Oh my god, blood", she whispered. "So there's my card", squealed Mike. Everyone shushed Mike. He completely forgets a single noise can totally sound the alarm. "Sorry."
Megan put her head onto the floor, putting her despair into attention. "What if we're too late? Oh Sulley, how could I? It's my fault that you were banished by those vermins."
"No we're not Megan! I'm sure my best pal is out there in the Himalayas. Have faith", said Mike.
"We're all there for him and he's there for us", said Celia.
"If he wasn't the CEO, we would still had that energy crisis years ago", said George.
"Kitty is alive Megan. Let's not give up. Quitting is not an option", said Boo.
"Sis, get a hold of yourself. Our hearts are connected towards friends and family. The same as we are, we connect our hearts to Sulley as well. We just can't give up yet. Somewhere in the deep snow, he's bound to be there."
Megan saw everyone, giving her a smile. "You know what….. you're right guys. We just can't give up now. It's that or we go home. All in favor?"
"I" shouted everyone. Amanda raised her hand, with courage.
"Good. Problem is, only three of us can only go. I must go too. Any two volunteers that can handle this?"
"I'll go, for my pal", said Mike boldly. He wore his blue pattern scarf, all bundled up, with his snow hat. Celia wore her brown tan snow coat with warming gloves and snow shoes.
"I'll go with you sis."
"No Prim, you must stay with Amanda and Boo. Me, Mike, and Celia will find him."
"Please Megan", cried Prim. "I don't want you to go! Please take me with you at least. I want to see him too!" Prim bursts into tears, not letting her sister's hand go. Just seeing Prim's crying reminded Megan that day where father had to go away for a week, ever since she was 5.
"Daddy, please don't go", shouted little Megan.
"Meggy dear, I'm sorry but you can't go. I hate to leave but the farmers need to help out for a week. It's just 7 days."
"But I'll be alone! I can't let you go. I want you to stay with me or I'll be scared."
The bit younger Perry looked at young Megan all sad. "Darling, no matter where I am, I'll always be with you. Plus, there's nothing wrong being scared. So long as it doesn't affect you. Always remember that, in your heart."
Perry gave Megan the same silver bell pedant Prim has right now. "Take this. It's a lucky charm passed down from my mama. She used to own this and kept it as a lucky charm. She said if things go wrong, let the pedant symbolize hope and wonders. Keep it for now and maybe you can pass it down to a family member that needs it the most."
Young Megan stopped crying, giving the father a smile, "Thank you, daddy."
"Prim, listen to me. Remember that I said before that there's nothing wrong about being scared, so long as if it doesn't change you? Well, always remember that and where ever I am, you'll always be with me."
Prim silently stayed frozen for moment. "Sis", she said softly. "Thank you."
They both hugged while the gang awe with delight. Prim gave Megan the equipment she needed for the mission, including medical book, and first aid kit. Plus, she put her silver bell pendant on Megan. "To keep you safe", she said. "Thanks Prim."
"Well, we better be going now", said Mike. "Take care guys. George, keep the kids out of trouble. Don't let them get into the hands of Randall and Johnny."
"Will do Mike." George had Prim, Boo, and Amanda by his side, doing as he was told with kids.
Mike unlocks the metal door that leads to the Himalayas. Everyone waved, expecting to come home with Sulley. Prim sadly looked at her sister. "Stay safe Megan. Silver pendant do your stuff."
Back at Joshua's Cavern, Sulley had the good feeling inside him. He felt like Megan was near and couldn't hesitate any longer. The orphan snow leopard leaped onto his stomach. Sulley petted the leopard with warmness. Joshua ran into the cavern, panting with exhaustion. "Joshua, what's wrong?"
The yeti tried to catch his breath, trying to say his words. "Some villagers spotted me and they tried… to throw their spears at me. I managed to escape as quick as possible. Hopefully they won't find us. Oh, by the way, I got us some food."
Joshua gave in a nice hand crafted sack full of the village's food. It had Everest Indian food with many types of meats, some rice, cooked veggies, fresh fruits, herbs, and many type of delicious food inside. "It took me some time to gather some at least. I couldn't bear to get shoot with the spears."
"It's okay Josh. At least we'll have something to eat."
Both the yeti and blue monster shared many of the feast. Sulley ate most of the meats, some of the herbs, and little of the fruits. Joshua ate more fruits, some meats, and mostly rice. They both chatted about life, knowing how they make a living.
"Josh, something tickles me", said Sulley.
"Something? Here let me get rid of it."
"No, no not something on me. Something inside me. Somewhere in the heart, I have the feeling my friends are looking for me."
Joshua smiled and gave some of his share to Sulley. "No thanks, I'm full."
"Suit yourself big guy", chuckled Joshua.
They both feel asleep from all the food they ate. The snow heavily whistled in the air. Sulley knows Megan and friends are actually out there.
Yes, this seems to be heartwarming with friendship and family. I just hope this chapter tickles you with delight. I think it made me happy too.
