"Our
baby-sitters are beasts," Carmen said.
"They're not just
baby-sitters, "Juni pointed out. "They're also spies."
"You're right,"
Carmen said. "We have to go to OSS and get help."
"Let's get out of
here," Juni said, leaping to his feet.
But Carmen stayed put.
Her forehead was creased with worry and deep thought.
"Unless..." she
said.
"Unless what?"
Juni said. "Devlin's gotta hear about this, Carmen. There's not a
minute to lose."
"Juni," Carmen
said, getting to her feet and going pale. "Devlin specifically sent
these new agents over here. Maybe...maybe he knew that Kitty and
Octavian were mutants."
"But why would
Devlin do that?" Juni said.
"Who know?"
Carmen said. "Maybe the OSS has gone evil! And they're using these
animal agents to take us out."
"I can't believe
that!" Juni said.
"Well, the other
scenario," Carmen said, "is that our baby-sitters are double
agents. They're out to take the OSS down--from the inside."
"The only way to
find out for sure is to head to HQ," Juni said, clenching his
fists. "We've got to get out of here. Now!"
"So soon?"
Carmen and Juni gasped
and turned to the voice.
Kitty Lieder was poised
in the doorway.
Her back was arched
threateningly.
Her green eyes had
squinted to evil slits.
Her long, red nails were
flashing.
Kitty Lieder wasn't about
to let Carmen and Juni go anywhere. Not without a catfight!
