Sam and Dylan took a bus to Audré's house.
"Odd question," Sam began. "But were there mirrors in that room?"
Dylan was confused at first, then it hit her. Her eyes widened. "I think there was one in the corner." her breath became shaky again. "Do you think they understand Spanish?"
"No, no not that I know of." Sam sighed, looking out the window of the bus. "But I wouldn't get your hopes up. They have their loopholes to find me."
Her attempt at reassuring Dylan didn't work and Dylan stayed with a shaky breath the rest of the bus ride.
〰〰〰
By the time they got off the bus, Dylan had a shaky walk even up to her brother's door.
She knocked on the door, and with Sam in her hands as a cat. Without another second, her brother came to the door.
"Oh, bien, lo lograste." he said. But Dylan pushed past him and shut the door. "Dylan, ¿qué está pasando?" he asked.
"Esto va a parecer una pregunta rara, ¿dónde están tus espejos?"
"¿Por qué necesitas saber dónde están mis espejos?" he paused. "Dylan, ¿estás drogado?"
"No. No." she sighed, setting Sam down on the ground and searching his house.
Audré looked utterly confused as Dylan began searching his house for mirrors. He looked down at Sam who was sitting and looking up at him. She tilted her head just a bit.
"¡Al menos podrías haberme dicho que traerías un gato!" he shouted.
"¡Ella no es realmente un gato! ¡Te lo explico en un rato!" Dylan shouted from a distant room.
Audré looked down at Sam confused.
Then his attention was brought back to Dylan who came out of the hallway and began to look around his house.
"¡Dylan! ¡Explicar!" he said to grab her attention.
Dylan let out a frustrated sigh. "Look," she said, making eye contact as Audré lifted his eyebrows. "Sam you don't have to be a cat anymore if you'd like."
Audré looked over at Sam who went from a cat to a human in a matter of seconds. He took a step back after he gasped in fright. "Dylan, ¿qué diablos está pasando?" he said with a shake in his voice.
"I won't hurt you." Sam began. "But you need to listen to us."
He backed far away from Sam until he was near the counter.
As a human, Sam could get a better look at Audré's features. He had hair that looked all ratted up, but wasn't, had dark skin just like Dylan, but dark eyes rather than blue. He seemed older, but it took her a while to notice those differences. To her, Dylan seemed older as she had more mature features and Audré had more young.
"Audré, there's something—or some people rather I say, that are after me." Dylan began.
"She—she was just—how–" Audré began, still looking at Sam with full fright.
"Yes yes, she was just a cat. Moving on." Dylan sighed. "These people called the Sins are after me and we quite need one of your many bags to hide things."
He was still in fright when he looked at her. "Hell no. I'm not giving you my bolas for some drug deal you're in. Ten piedad de mí, Dylan. Soy muy joven para morir."
"You aren't going to die. You're being a bit dramatic." Dylan assured. "Now do you have any bags?"
"I'm not giving them to you!"
