He seemed to be taking this pretty
well, except for when the Cat first    
started talking. You could feel the    
whole cab jerk, as he tried to turn and
look, but when the Cat started talking 
to him personally, he just shook his   
head once.                             
     "Yeah, I'm Pee Wee."              
     "You and your wife are trying of  
adopt, aren't you?"                    
     "How’d you know that?"            
     "Ok, I'm sorry, but you have to   
understand my situation. My life is    
literally in all your hands. I just had
to make sure who I was trusting it     
with, and Pee Wee, the Hacker and I    
might team up on this and help you and 
Mouse out there."                      
     "What are you going to do?"       
     "Don't worry. We'll just move you 
* closer to the top. Maybe next in line,   
or something like that. No big deal,   
right Hacker?"                         
     "No problem, Big Guy," my Arch    
said from the floor while whispering   
something to the Cat.                  
     "I don't know what to say, except,
thank you Miss AmyStrange, and you too 
Ron, and Crim..." he said, and then    
turned the mirror to look at me.       
     “I’m glad to admit, Crim, that I  
was wrong this time. Talking Cats are  
obviously not impossible.”             
     Pee Wee started the car, and off  
we went, back to our house, the house  
of Mr. and Mrs. Criminal. That just    
sounded wrong, and weird too.          
     As we took off, I glanced at      
Mouse, and she still looked stunned.   
You could see that she was trying to   
make logical sense of all this, “How?” 
was all she said after saving Rhonda,  
then went into a stunned silence again.
