     “Yes she did, and I didn’t have a 
clue, otherwise I would’ve said some-  
thing right from the beginning,” she   
answered, and then changed the subject.
     "Well, at least it's the right    
color, black, except for a couple white
spots. That'll give it away for sure." 
     "It's the best I could do on such 
short notice,” I said, and then pulled 
out a big black magic pen, "but I did  
bring this,” and started to rub the    
white parts out with the black ink.    
     "When I came into work tonight and
found out that they were going to cut  
her open," Amy said.                   
     "I mean, I suspected it, but I    
still couldn't believe it. I started to
get really upset, but that Captain was 
here, and she helped to calm me down.  
     “I used to like Bart, but now, all
I want to do is punch him out."        
     "You realize that once they killed
the Cat, your job here would’ve been   
finished."                             
     “Doesn't matter. This was gonna be
my last day no matter what happened    
tonight. I was going to take her       
myself, but I'm glad you're both here  
instead. I probably wouldn’t have      
gotten two far, and that gives me an   
idea.                                  
     “Let me think for a minute. Don't 
do anything more with the decoy yet. I 
might be able to help you out there."  
     "I'll be right back," I said, and 
walked over to where Beth was giving   
the Cat a good scratching, right over  
the windpipe.                          
     "Oh yeah, that's the stuff," the  
Cat purred contentedly.                
     "Sorry to be breaking this up," I 
started.                               
     "Then don't," the Cat said while  
squeezing her eyes shut even tighter.  
     "You've got to make the call on   
this one, Cat.”                        
     “Where's the phone, and who am I  
calling again?”                        
     “Funny, but can we trust Amy not  
to sound the alarm, once we get out of 
here?"                                 
     "I really don't have a choice. I'm
not staying here one more day. We have 
to trust her."                         
     "You know you're staking your life
on this, right? But, I do agree that we
don't have any other choice, not       
really. I think we can trust her, but  
like I said, this is your call."
