"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."       
     "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."
