As it turned out I was too late to make a difference.

Where Melony once stood levitating her three feline puppets, the alley now lay empty and lifeless.

“Melony?” I called hesitantly as I tiptoed toward the dumpster, afraid of what I might find. “Mungo? Lester? Anybody?”

There was nothing in the oversized bin beyond the expected mix of trash and things that probably would have been better off in recycles.

“Hello?” I tried again warily.

Yes, I still wanted to go home, but how could I, given that whatever had happened here happened on my watch? I was turning out to be a reluctant hero, but this was still my story—and I couldn’t bear to leave it unfinished.

Something zipped overhead, and I spun around just in time to catch sight of Fluffikins falling from the sky on a puff of pink magic.

“What’s going on here?” he asked, hopping off his cloud. It evaporated the moment he broke contact. “I thought you said there was an emergency.”

“I don’t know where th-they w-went,” I sputtered, turning left, then right, then raising my hands in helpless surrender.

Fluffikins studied me for a moment, then took off down the alley toward the street. He stopped suddenly and turned back to me, golden eyes flashing with irritation. Apparently, in all my shock, I’d forgotten to trail after him.

“Why didn’t you tell me we have a code green?” he shouted.

“What?”

He ran back to join me partway down the alley. “The orb. It’s green!”

Oh, yeah. I’d forgotten about that in my desperation to get through to Fluffikins and then to get that gawking couple to stop watching me. “Green means go, right?” I asked with a nervous squeak.

“No, green means we’ve got a huge problem on our paws!”

“I-I know,” I stammered, twisting my hands in front of me. “Melony took three field agents and disappeared.”

Fluffikins shook his head and took a deep, steadying breath before explaining, “No. It’s much worse than that. Whoever took the field agents also took Melony.”

I stared at him, shaking my head, still unsure of what he wanted me to do. “She was threatening them. She’d frozen them with her magic, and—”

“Made both them and herself an easy target,” the black cat finished for me. Not what I’d intended to say, but I guess he’d know better than me.

“Oh” was all I could manage upon learning this revised interpretation of events.

“Follow me,” he said in a low growl, leading me into a tight space to the side of the dumpster. “Crouch low.”

I did as told, recoiling from the stench. “What’s going on?” I raised a hand to cover my mouth and nose and murmured through them.

Mr. Fluffikins curled his tail around his feet and dropped his ears low. “I didn’t think our abductor would strike with the two of you sitting out there flaunting your presence.”

“Wait, I thought we were undercover.” I instantly regretted uncovering my mouth to speak.

My companion waited for me to stop hacking before he went on. “Mmm, actually, you were but a diversion to buy the real investigative task force some time.
