Police began search everywhere for the monster.

"Not as much as you've hurt me. Your words carry no weight with me any longer, my dear," Maynott stated," Now let's stop this little charade and at least have one moment of true honesty between us.

Where is it?"

"Where is what?" She responded as Albert came passing them by.

"Uh sir? It's in there," he said as he lead them towards her dressing room.

Lucille then went towards her door, blocking them from entering,"First, you accuse me without a shred of evidence, then you violate my private property.

If you dare to enter my dressing room, you'll have to find another singer."

"Consider it done," Maynott said as he moved her out the way, opening the door, as he began messing the room up throughout his searching.

"Nothing here."

"We've searched all over, sir. Nothing!" Paté announced.

"Really?"

"I told you."

"I'm... I'm confused. I don't know what to say," he said upset with himself.

"I do. Thank you." Lucille said holding both his hands.

"Thank you?"

"For putting the public's safety before your own, leading the charge to rid the streets of Paris of this terrible danger. Whenever it may take you," she finished.

Maynott then came up to Albert,"It was right here! I heard it!" Albert said whimpering.

"Arrest him!"

"What have I done?!"

"What have you done?" Maynott began," Lying to the police, bearing a false witness, malicious intent. Do you want me to go on? Take him away!"

The police took Albert away, and out of the building," My dear I am mortified."

"You thought you were doing the right thing," Lucille said looking towards him.

"I wouldn't blame you if you did not sing at the inauguration now," he bowed towards.

"Of course I'll sing. If for nothing else,  to show my support and admiration for all you have done for us."

"Oh. Thank you, mademoiselle. Enjoy your day." he kissed her hand before leaving the room.

She had locked the door as she called out to her friends,"Francoeur? [ Name ]? Raoul? It's safe now. You can come out."

Francoeur lifted the piano's lid revealing him, and [ Name ] inside.

"Meow?"

Lucille gasped catching the vase before she heard [ Name ]'s faint meow," Oh, there you two are," she sighed.

Francoeur had helped [ Name ] out of the piano before getting out himself.

While at the moment, Raoul, Emile and Charles were inside the fireplace,"Bravo, Lucille. Excellent acting skills."

"Well he can hide in my projection room," Emile suggested," No one ever goes up there."

"Until they do and then we'll have to move him again. We need a more permanent solution."

Lucille then picked up the feather duster giving it to Raoul," Here take that."

He then sneezed,"God feathers."

'If only we could shrink him to his normal size, then no one would ever find him.'

"The only one person who can save Francoeur and he's in New York right now," Raoul said as he sighed.

"Meow."

"Hm? Oh, mm-hm, but we don't need him," Lucille said holding Francoeur's  arm.

"Lucille, no en fence, we're talking big science, here, okay?" Raoul stated,"All I know is deliveries, Emile's all about movies, Miss Kitty Cat here is about singing, and doing cat stuff, and you're an expert in show business, but you know.."

"Exactly."

[ Name ] put Francoeur's hat on his head," Hmm, I see. Smart girl."

"Thank you."

"Excuse me, will someone tell me what you two are talking about?" Emile asked.

[ Name ] raised her 'paw' before raising it back down with a puzzled look as she shook her head no.
