“The faster we're out of here, the
better,” I said, took the pink contami-
nation suit off, and then put my       
backpack on a desk.                    
     “I got one thing to do, before we 
do that,” I said, pulling the package  
out.                                   
     “Just hurry,” the Cat said with a 
sigh, and continued to talk to Beth,   
who couldn't stop staring at her mouth.
     “I know a few things about you,   
that no one else does, not even the    
Criminal. Like the time you saved a    
pigeon's life.                         
     “Two young human assholes, with   
bow and arrows, had already winged it. 
It wasn't hurt. It just needed someone 
to pull out the arrow, so it could fly 
again.                                 
     “They were on their way, not to   
* help, but instead to finish it off.      
     “That's when you stepped in and   
stopped them. They could have shot you,
but you stood your ground, and they ran
like the rest of their kind. That      
pigeon is alive today because of you.  
     “You give me hope for the human   
race, Beth," the Cat told her.         
     “How?" she said and stopped       
scratching. "How’d you know about      
that?"                                 
     "Let's just say, that you're a    
little bit of a hero in the animal     
world, and leave it at that, ok?"      
     AmyStrange went on to tell her    
some of the other stuff that she knew. 
     While she was doing that, and     
while I was unwrapping the package, Amy
came over, and I had to ask, "So what  
happened? Do you mind telling me?      
Where’s the guard that was here?"
