The evil shadow (Despicable me x reader)

34. Madness takes form

Devastated, Gru dropped into his armchair. With no idea to get his girls back, he fell into a deep depression, not sure where to go with his life anymore, while I had the time of my life.

Ripping the mask off, I made a phone call.

"Shadow here, how are the little chickens doing?"
...
"Hello?"
...
"Herb...Scarlett?"

Someone answered, but it wasn't one of them. A deep male voice spoke up, "Hello my darling shadow. Still playing games, are you?"

"Where are the two?"

I heard him chuckle pleased, "They are in a deep slumber. As for the girls you don't have to worry about them, I found the right place for the kids." My silence seems to enjoy the male, "Speechless Shadow? I told you to be careful...we will see each other soon...very soon...click!"

"Damn it!" How could this happen?! Just a few minutes ago, everything was under my control and now? They want war and I swear, they get what they want. All I need to know is who they are, but all the suspects were in the clear. It has to be someone off the list.

Brrrr!!!!!

My Phone received a photo of the girls. I got pale, as I noticed the background. They are hanging on a rope, while a bunch of crocodiles were underneath. If I wasn't so concerned at their well-being, I would have laughed at the old fashion way of torture. I might be evil, but not a murderer. This is way out of my league.

And it got worse.

With Eduardo and Bratt gone, Scarlett and Herb captured, only Vector was left...and he didn't answer my calls. Someone must be cheating in this game. The first thing to do was to check the system of the house. Of course I installed cameras all over the place. I can trust others, but to keep control is a lot easier. I am glad I did, otherwise, I would have never seen Vector and the two men...in my house.

"Vector...you little rat."

Closing my laptop, I sighted. I had no henchmen and no plan. That is...once the rat entered the door.

"Oh Yeah, got popcorn. Care for a night in?"

I smiled sweet, while inside, I was burning for revenge, "How about a night out instead?"

The AVL was also having trouble to keep up with the disaster at hand. Not only are all their information out, but also the little info they got on me was not useful. Even questioning Eduardo was up to no use, he is just talking like a three year old and Dru doesn't know me as Shadow. To Valerie's surprise, they weren't their last visitors of mine. Vector was send to the zeppelin with a free ticket to fly over, also drugged and babbling like a baby. I had no use for traitors, but to just let them walk around was just too dangerous. Da Vinci was at the end of her nerves, "Who the hell is that?!"
In Roberts's villain wheel, I flew back to my home, as my phone rang again.

Another photo appeared...it was worse than the previous one.
It was Carl, tired to the chair and bleeding on his head. Underneath the photo that person wrote: Last chance Shadow...give up. How does he know him or that I care about Carl? I was in serious problems right now.

Suddenly, Gru and I had something in common.

I never thought of him as smart, but this time...he will prove me wrong. Obviously I wasn't as good at acting as I thought. He noticed a few things on me that got him thinking. To get answers, he went over to the orphanage for girls. As expected, the real Miss Hattie never showed up. She said that she would never set foot into his house after what he called her. Gru knew it, she remembered. But then, he didn't know who that imposter was.

Back to me, I decided to make my biggest mistake...on purpose.
I have no other options left. In camouflage move, I got onto the zeppelin. In my grey outfit, I got in easily. Madness and frustration is driving me to this, standing in front of the prison gates. Dru sat in a corner and whimpered. The small room was not a place for him to be in. Hesitating a little, I opened his cell, saying his name quietly. Blue eyes came into my direction, followed by a weak smile, "...N/A?" I froze; my mask was on...how did he know it was me? "You are mistaken."

"That voice...it is you."

Figures, the only thing I forgot to change.

He slowly got up from the floor and walked over, "Why are you here? What's with the outfit?"

A stupid question in my eyes, but to him it seems to be serious. I raised my hands up and grinned evil, "I am Shadow."

Dru was fascinated, "Get out!"

"Okay" I turned on my heel and left.

"No, wait for me!"

The guards were poor, only a handful was there to defeat. Dru on the other hand, is more than that. He couldn't shut up, questioning me constantly, whenever I answered a question or not, it didn't matter to him. The last one, of where I got the villain wheels from, made me snap.

"Listen blond boy! Saving you was not part of my plan, but so far, you are the only one I can trust. So shut your trap and get in!" Like a child that has been lectured, he got in, mouth closed. It got even more bizarre, once Dru realized where we are flying to.

"Eh...N/A?"

"It's Shadow!"

Dru nodded, "Right Shadow, so, why are we here?"

I hate to admit it, but the lives of four people are at stake, "We need help and who else could we ask...then your brother?"

This is going to be harder than I thought.
