My arm still hurts. I rub it resentfully and glare at Judy. For a little rabbit, she sure packs a punch.

"How are we gonna follow them without getting caught?"

I hop in the back of the truck, and bury myself in a pile if empty sacks. Thankfully, Nick and I are both small mammals. It'll be easier to hide us.

I'm hiding behind some crates of the evil plant. I do my best to not eat one or breath in too deeply. I don't even want to think about what'd happen if I went savage.
