Chapter 2

                                    

                                          

(Third Person POV)
The plan is in motion. Agent Lucy is currently parked in her car near Gru's house, waiting for the right moment to bring him back to AVL headquarters to talk about their villain situation. All she can do now is wait for the perfect opportunity.
In no time at all, Gru's dog Kyle darts out the front door and starts sniffing around the yard. He sniffs the grass and then wanders over to a flower bush near the short fence that separates Gru's front yard from the neighbors'. And there's Gru, just chilling on the porch, watching his dog. "Kyle? Kyle?" he shouts, but he gets all serious when he sees what the dog is about to do. "Kyle, no! Do not do your business on the petunias!" Gru steps over and grabs Kyle roughly before tossing him over to the other side of the fence. "There you go. Those are Fred's, go crazy."
Kyle sniffs around a similar flower bush and does his thing, which causes the leaves and flowers to droop and wilt. In response, Gru laughs wickedly and mutters, "Good boy."
"Mr. Gru?" An unfamiliar voice says from behind him.
Gru suddenly jerks and spins around to find a woman in a blue dress walking toward him from the sidewalk. "What? Yes?" he asks with a hint of confusion. 
The woman raises her blue sunglasses, her face taking on a serious expression. However, her stoic demeanor vanishes instantly as she waves to him. "Hi! Agent Lucy Wilde of the AVL," she declares, fumbling with her ID which is held upside down. Upon realizing her mistake, she hurriedly flips it upright before clearing her throat and adopting a serious tone once more. "Sorry, you're gonna have to come with me."
Gru, sensing the imminent threat, attempts to maintain a nonchalant demeanor as he speaks. "Oh, sorry, I... Freeze ray!" he exclaims, swiftly drawing the freeze ray from his jacket. Taking aim at the target, he unleashes a chilling beam of ice.
As a counter to that attack, Lucy brandishes a hand-held flamethrower, and a burst of flames instantly vaporizes the ice, preventing it from reaching her. "You know, you really should announce your weapons after you fire them, Mr. Gru," she remarks as she strides toward Gru. Meanwhile, Gru is bewildered, staring at his ray and tapping it in an attempt to determine if it malfunctioned. "For example..." Continuing her explanation, Lucy reaches into her purse and retrieves a small taser cleverly disguised as a lipstick. She aims the end of it at him to illustrate her point. Two of the taser's barbed darts clamp onto his chest, and the electricity immediately travels through the insulated wire connected to the darts. As Gru jolts and moves through multiple poses, Lucy shouts energetically, "Lipstick taser!" with her arm in the air. The darts fall off and Gru falls limp to the floor. "Oh, it works so good," she praises to herself.
Phase one of her plan is complete, now all she needs to do is get his limp body into her car. With all of her strength, she grabs Gru's scarf and hoists him upright before releasing it, leaving him to fall forward. Lucy attempts to shove him, but her efforts are futile. Even trying to pull him by the leg proves to be ineffective. Fortunately, she comes up with a plan now that she has Gru on the side of the street.
Lucy strolls over to her car and slides into the driver's seat, igniting the engine. As she shifts the car into reverse, she glances at the side-view mirror and observes Gru stirring and struggling to stand. Without hesitation, she presses down on the gas pedal, causing her car to collide with him and knock him out once more. "Oh, sorry," she murmurs nonchalantly as she steps out and pops open the trunk.
After some effort, Lucy finally succeeds in getting him into the trunk, although she struggles to close it. "Get in there, you big man!" she exclaims in frustration as she uses her body weight to shut it. When she notices Gru's hand sticking out, she quickly moves it out of the way before firmly closing the trunk.
However, Lucy was taken aback when she found herself face to face with an unanticipated visitor. Leaning casually against the car, pointing a small tranquilizer gun in her direction, stood Val, with her eyes narrowed in a stern gaze. "What brings you here?" she asked with a hint of suspicion.
Not bothered by the threat of her weapon, Lucy responds casually, her voice calm and reassuring. "Mr. Gru is needed for classified reasons," she explains, her eyes meeting Val's. "But I promise you, no harm is to come to him."
Val lifts an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing as she still struggles to believe the person talking to her. She is feeling protective now, her instincts kicking in to guard her friend. "How am I supposed to trust you?" she asks.
"You can tag along if you want," Lucy offers.
Val, not taking a while to respond, quickly holsters the tranquilizer gun back into its place on her belt. With a determined look on her face, she says, "Fine," before reaching out to open the passenger side door. She slides into the seat, her movements reflecting a mix of frustration and resignation.
Satisfied with how smoothly everything went, Lucy also gets into the car and shifts the gear into drive. The two drive off in silence, the only sound being the gentle hum of the engine. Val sits in the passenger seat, stealing glances out the window, avoiding direct eye contact with Lucy. She still can't shake off her suspicions. However, the fact that Lucy extended the offer to come along eases her worries a little.
Val, feeling the need to break the silence as they cruise down the street, shoots a brief but curious look in Lucy's direction. "You made that flamethrower?" she inquires.
Lucy takes a quick glance at Val before returning her attention to the road. "The agency I work for provides all of my gadgets. What about your tranquilizer?" she asks. 
"Made it myself," Val responds with a hint of pride. "Same with all of my other gadgets."
Lucy nods, visibly impressed with Val's statement. "You and Mr. Gru are former villains, correct?"
Val quickly looks over at Lucy in slight surprise. "You know about that?"
"Of course," Lucy responds with a knowing smile. "Some of Gru's villainy work has caught our eye. We believe his expertise is crucial for an important mission we're planning. But the specifics will be explained once we get there."
With a subtle nod, Val turns away from the conversation, her gaze lingering on the passing houses outside the window. The idea of a secret agency having knowledge about Gru and all his evil plans feels quite unsettling. After all, it has been quite some time since they engaged in any such activities. As she reflects on this, she can't help but recall the thrill it once brought.
"Hold on a second," Lucy says as she looks at her side-view mirror, catching Val's attention once more. Not saying anything else, she slams on the breaks. The car comes to a full stop, which is when Val notices two of Gru's minions tailing behind the car at rapid speed. One was sitting on the trunk holding onto the other, who was using a sheet as a parachute overhead.
But the quick force of the car stopping caused the two minions to fly forward. About to fall onto the pavement, Lucy stops the car once again below them. The top of the car opens, allowing the minions to land in Val's lap. "Apologies for what I'm about to do," she says, pulling out her lipstick taser with ease.
Val furrows her brow in confusion. "What?" she questions, but there is no response. Suddenly, she feels a jolt of electricity as Lucy tases the minions seated next to her. The three of them now lay limp in the passenger seat.
Lucy presses on the gas and continues her route down the street. Instead of making a turn, she drives onto the crowded sidewalk, causing pedestrians to scatter out of the way. The vehicle speeds over a pier, hurtling towards the end. It plummets into the ocean, creating a large splash as it disappears beneath the waves.
