-Smashing glass-
Their was just darkness and a rank odor.
Inside of the jar, Charlie stood on one end, Took a deep breath, And then ran at the fastest speed he could and slammed his body full force against the other end. The jar moved only slightly. He did this dozens of times getting closer and closer to the cupboard door. All it took was one more little bump and the cupboard door flung open. Now a couple dozen more smashes into the side of the jar had Charlie right on the edge of the cupboard opening. He contemplated his next move. "I either die here, left to starve, or I risk this fall and at least can say I tried to save my friends"
He was completely in the dark and only had the smell of Trevor's ripe socks. He felt himself reflecting his life. Up until meeting Mr.Grey and the other workers, Charlie was lonely. He had no friends and a mundane office job. He finally had a place he could share with people he could call friends. A place where he could express himself and share common interests.
"I refuse to die here"
With all of the strength left in him Charlie ran slammed his shrunken body against the side of the jar which began the tilt over the edge until...
SMASH.
Mr.Grey would have jumped out of his chair if he hadn't been taped to it. He looked over in the direction of the kitchen area where the noise came from. He knew exactly what it was and his heart almost stopped beating. Their is no way the shrunken Charlie could have survived that fall.
Mr.Grey was currently left alone getting a brief break from the humiliation Kenny was subjecting him too. Kenny had left for the rest room.
Mr.Grey looked back in the direction of the kitchen and was shocked to see a large sharp shard of glass gliding toward him on the floor. He was terrified until it clicked. It was Charlie! It was hard for him to contain his relief and excitement as Charlie approached.
Charlie looked very bruised and was limping. He hardly had any strength. He was practically yelling with every cutting motion on the duck tape trying to muster any strength to free Mr.Grey. Charlie got one of Mr.Greys hands free and Mr.Grey could take it from there. He freed himself from the tape only to see Charlie collapse.
"Charlie no! Stay with me boy..."He whispered with concern.
He picked the unconscious Charlie up and tried to think quickly to where he should go. Kennys footsteps could be heard approaching. He quickly walked into the toy room and quietly shut the door.
"Hey hey! You ready for some more old man!" Kenny said, flinging open the door to the tech floor.
"What the...oh FUCK!!!"
Kenny placed both hands on his head holding it in disbelief.
He paced back and forth
"Shit...shit...shit..." he kept repeating.
Trevor entered the room with a big grin on his face and trying to balance 3 large cardboard boxes filled with potions and food from the fetish bar.
"This is giving me such a fucking rush man!"
He looked over at a panicked Kenny.
"What the hell is wrong with you man?"
He looked over at the chair Grey was once restrained in and it clicked. He threw his boxes down to the ground and lunged at Kenny slamming against the wall and holding him there by the throat.
"Where the FUCK did they go?!?!"
"I don't know man...I don't know"
"Find them NOW or I swear to fucking God!" Trevor said, loosening his grip.
Kenny started running around the floor looking under equipment.
Trevor went into the kitchen and saw all of the smashed glass from the jar and his socks on the floor. He yelled out for Charlie.
"Charlie if you come out now I will make it quick! Let's not play games man!"
-The Golden Rope-
Brock had gotten his bigger Uhaul like truck. Little did he know he was being watched from afar. He was driving down the road to the factory before slamming on the breaks. In the middle of the road was a figure lying on their stomach right in the center of the road.
"The fuck..." he said, opening the door and stepping out.
Brock approached the figure and reached down touching the shoulder. He knew right then and there what was going on but it happened too fast for him to react. The man on the ground, Nick, spun around and pushed a chloroform cloth right into a gasping Brocks face. Brock's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he tumbled down with a big thud.
Nick stood above the fallen giant and smiled, Taking in the moment. He then put his hands under Brocks arms and dragged him back to the truck and stuffed him into the back. Nick hopped in the driver's seat and continued in the direction of the factory.
"I'm going to search outside, if they made a run for it I'm confident I could catch up to the old geezer. Keep searching in here." Trevor instructed as he exited out the door.
Mr.Grey had Charlie lying on the floor of the toy room, still unconscious.
"Come on Charlie..." he whispered, giving him a shake.
Mr.Grey looked around the room. He needed to find a weapon. It was inevitable they would be found soon.
"Perfect! I forgot about this" He said picking up a long thick pile of gold rope at one end of the table. "I completely forgot Charlie made this".
Mr.Grey heard footsteps quickly approaching the toy room door and prepared himself. The thick gold rope had a small switch on one end. Kenny flung the door open and Mr.Grey pushed the switch and threw it forward at a lunging Kenny. It was as if the rope was alive. The rope quickly coiled around Kennys ankles, tripping him. The rest of the rope began to snake all around his body until it finally had Kenny in a perfect hogtie.
"A.I. bondage rope. Always wanted to see it in action. Thanks Kenny."
Mr.Grey had to take advantage of him now while he was weakened and looking around confused. He knelt down in front of Kenny and touched one finger to his forehead while looking deep into his eyes.
Mr.Grey spoke firmly but softly.
"Now listen Kenny. I want you to go into a deep sleep. You will not wake up until I come back and wake you up. You will not make noise or speak until I come back and wake you up. Deep sleep. Deep deep sleep" Mr.Grey said snapping his fingers and causing Kenny to close his eyes and rest his head on the ground. Mr.Grey turned his attention back to Charlie who had grown back to size but was still out.
"I promise I will come back for you Charlie"
Mr.Grey exited the room leaving the 2 men unconscious on the floor. He had a plan to call in all of his workers for back up.
-The Giant-
Trevor was still searching frantically outside. He had his shrink gun in hand and was coming back to the front yard after searching the back. He came back just in time to see the large truck pulling into the driveway.
