Then a monster with a round head, glass, mustache, and long tentacles came in with a briefcase, making the other monsters nervous.

(A/N I can't put glasses since he only has one eye.)

"Oh, no, not him. That's Argus Blinks. He hasn't taken a day off in 20 years. If he finds a problem, he'll shut us down. This could be the end of laugh power," Sulley said.

The monster cleared his throat then introduced, "Argus Blinks, M.E.R.C. Investigator."

"James P. Sullivan and Y/N M/I Sullivan, CEOs, Monsters, Incorporated," Sulley returned, making Y/N blush a bit.

"Yes, 'Mr. and Mrs. Laugh Energy,' I know who you two are," Argus said.

"Is that good or bad?" Y/N asked.

"I am here to determine the cause of today's blackout, and whether or not a shutdown or a change in management is in order," Argus replied.

"You'll have our full cooperation, sir," Sulley assured.

"Full cooperation! Now, if you could please sign in," Mike added, handing Argus a clipboard.

But when he was about to, he looked at Mike questionably.

"What is this?" Argus asked.

"That? Oh!" Mike said, chuckled, then added, "That's my lunch money. Or it could be your lunch money."

Sulley cleared his throat then whispered, "Mike."

"Are you trying to bribe me?" Argus demanded.

"No, no, of course he's not," Y/N promised then smacked Mike on the head before whispering as Mike rubbed his head, "Put that away."

"That's so silly. By chance, did you drop these box seat tickets to the Monstropolis Creepees game, uh, row double-A, seats one through three, free food? Was that possibly yours, by any chance?" Mike asked, holding up the tickets.

"Are those my tickets?" Sulley asked.

"Your office, if you please," Argus told them.

"Right this way, sir," Mike said then got in front, remembering something.

"Welcome, sir. Mr. Wazowski wants us to bribe you with a brand-new..." Smitty began.

"Not now, boys. Not now," Mike whispered then said, "Excuse the car, sir. It's 'Park Anywhere You Want' Day today."

"Hmm..." Argus hummed as he, Sulley, and Y/N headed for the office.

"Here's a 50. Get rid of the car. Wait, a 20. Here's a 20, get rid of the car. You know what? Forget it. Just get rid of the car," Mike told them before leaving.

Smitty and Needleman groaned before obeying.
