     "I agree," the Cat said and       
sighed, because Beth had gone over to  
talk to Amy, "and yeah, I know what's  
at stake here, but Criminal, you       
should’ve seen her when she came in and
found out what was going to happen.    
     “She's been crying almost the     
whole time and pleading with me to     
please forgive her, but no way was I   
gonna say a thing with those two other 
guys here.                             
     “I waited until they left to go to
lunch, and Amy stayed behind, I forgave
her and told her to stay after everyone
else left at eleven, and we would talk.
We've been talking ever since.         
     “I told her everything. You       
wouldn't believe how relieved she was  
to know that I’d be ok. I felt bad for 
her."                                  
     “What was all this shit you were  
telling me this morning, yesterday,    
about being an asshole. What the hell, 
Cat?”                                  
     “I'll tell you about that later.” 
     "Yeah, I can't wait," I said with 
a roll of the eyes.                    
     "I saw that," the Cat said point- 
ing a paw at me. I could tell she was  
about to give me the business, when    
Beth and Amy came over.                
     "You should hear this Crim, you   
too kitty. Amy's got the greatest      
idea."                                 
     "And, I can also use the cat you  
brought,” Amy said excitedly. “I'll    
pretend there was a snafu, a mis-      
communication, and I thought that they 
wanted me to euthanize the cat for     
them, and so that's what I did,” and   
pointed to the decoy.                  
     She was laid out on a lab table   
near Amy’s cage. It was obviously where
they euthanized the mice.              
     "Plus, and here's the best part," 
she said, and both her and Beth giggled
for a couple seconds, before she       
continued again, "I'll shave it, and   
that'll make it harder for them to tell
right away that this is not            
AmyStrange.”                           
     “I love it," I agreed. It was a   
good idea.                             
     "Bart'll eventually do a DNA run  
up on that cat, that's his specialty,  
unless it gets cremated by mistake, and
if I'm here even one more day, no      
telling what'll happen. Knowing you’re 
about to be fired is such a liberating 
feeling," she sighed.                  
     “All we need is a couple days.”   
     "Good. I’m glad that’s settled,”  
the Cat said and jumped off the table, 
adding, “I hate to plot and run, but   
we’ve really got to go.”
